THIS WAS MY POST
Jesus is just alright with me, but hes really really really alright with Hillary. Shes mentioned Hay Zeus (shake it like a polaroid picture...hey yeah!) three times in the last month and in every instance implied that the Republicans would prosecute, persecute and imprison him. Basically they would treat him in every unpleasant way they could just short of nailing him to a cross. That would be asinine enough, but she takes it a step further by comparing herself and her policies to the Nazarene. This broad is frickin crazy. She is taking pandering to a new level. Wonder if she'll use that same schtick in Crown Heights. Or maybe she was just talking about her gardener Jesus Gomez in Chappaqua
THESE WERE THE RESPONSES
holy shit that's funny. but what's really funny is that the main stream media isn't calling her a religous zealot, and what about mixing church and state and whatever i was hearing when Bush said jesus was his favorite philosopher?
THEN
Separationists don't make distinctions about who you can admire philosophically or what a person practices. It refers simply to preferential use of resources that belong to the public. Bush can practice Wicca, Hillary can be an ordained priestess...has nothing to do with the law. The law refers to the use of a "resource" (money, physical, capital,etc.) and "preferential action" (display of ten commandments, christmas)with the use of that resource. It can be construed as endorsement, the exception being what is considered a "ceremonial exclusion" that has been upheld for such uses as the Pledge, currency, and certain ceremonies like oaths of office. Really, its not very hard to understand. Talking about Jesus, saying Merry Christmas, etc. do not pertain to the law as they are personal vs. state sanctioned applications.Did Hillary inscribe "Jesus Rocks" on a public building? No. So your point is....what? To try to paint unrelated acts as hypocrisy? The distinctions are very simple. Inflammatory language like "war on Christmas' just reveals ignorance of law. Again: Public resource, preferential regard. Those are the conditions. Make a flash card
THAT IS WHY REPUBLICANS WIN ELECTIONS.
MAKE A FLASH CARD.

"won elections" as in past tence. You guys didnt learn from history. Todays Republicans even more off base than the democrats of the pre Gingrich era.
But you did not include the comment that I responded to. Of course not. And why can't rhinobitch respond himself? It was aimed at his comment.
I don't see THAT mentioned.
What a pimp.
what the hell are you talking about lily?
Your whole comment doesn't even make any sense. it's so convoluted i didn't even understand what you were saying!
I was pointing out how the dems/liberals get a free pass from the press and the "wall of seperation" crowd when they make religious comments, but republicans/conservatives do not.
Isn't that true? Do you really want to try and claim that's not the case? Please, you should know by now not to challenge me on media bias, i don't even want to beat you down again on this topic. It's getting too easy.
I did not see Rhino's comment. Unfortunately for your cause your comment still makes no sense. Post has been corrected
I am not sure why you think separation is an off topic matter. It was in response to:
"and what about mixing church and state and whatever i was hearing when Bush said jesus was his favorite philosopher?"
So you say MY comment was off topic?
Jesus as a favorite philosopher has nothing to do with Church and State separation as it is his personal view. To suggest otherwise is idiotic whether from a liberal OR a conservative. The point of the comment was to respond to Rhino-itall on what the law covers regardless. It was really hard to understand all that?
The point of my comment was that the criticism-whether against liberals, democrats, conservatives- differs when a politician expresses a personal view as opposed to seeking to incorporate that view into governance.
When a liberal wanted to sue a school not long ago because a teacher wore what she called a "prominent crucifix" it was struck down because the court distinguishes between "personal" expression and "sanctioned state" expression.
The point is that there is a specific legal criteria for C/S separation which I provided succinctly in the interests of time. My comment was in specific response to the line from Rhino.
Your point seemed to be that the liberal media was not all over her remarks, but in another instance they were- which is fair to say. But it does not change the idea that it is ridiculous to do so for either case. Returning to the Cross wearer- it was not ok to use separation as an excuse to suppress the teacher's right to expression.
Throwing in my right to vote and all that other diversional b.s. is silly. My point was clear, addressed his comment specifically, related to the topic, and your attack is without merit.
Calling yourself a badass certainly doesn't make it so.
And the fact that you attacked me then admitted you didn't "see" the comment shows that you are only interested in being rude, not right.
I'm dissappointed in Rhino for his comments about wife beating, sure, but I am not unfair. Clearly you prefer to use your forum to be unnecessarily obnoxious. Again. So enjoy.
Rhino? Unnecessarily obnoxious? You must be thinking of some other horn faced mamminal...
lily, do you have a sense of humor at all? ANYONE who has read ANYTHING i write here or on your blog knows i like to be obnoxious, and it's FUNNY.
You are dissappointed because you can't figure out how to laugh, especially at yourself.
I know you're all smart and stuff, and you're a big shot who works on spending proposals and organizes peace rallies and shit, but seriously you should lighten up.
After 45 serious comments on one topic, i think most people appreciate some humor thrown into the mix.
corrected the oversight, so obviously my concern is to be both right and rude. I stand by my assertion that your comment was nothing more the double talk gobbledygook gibberish, but you are more than free to continue to express them...one day you'll come around. You may have had a point or two in there but you are all over the road and just jam talking points in. Your comments would be well served with a dose a brevity. You shoot with a bluster gun, I shoot with a sniper rifle. One shot One Kill.
And one last thing, I am a badass.
Yes, your ass is bad (smelling). This has been established.
