lol, jerry falwell wanted to turn our government into a theocracy and made a good attempt by creating the moral majority, which i believe is now the called the christian coalition.

i'm not a conservative or a liberal, more like a constitutionalist, but it seems to me that the conservatives are more for strong religious beliefs and general intolerance of anything that differs or interferes with these beliefs.

heres two videos i thought were interesting from a conservative talk show called the o'reilly factor,
i don't know i guess the left seems to be better rooted in reality.

yes they do, on a daily basis

J-SMITH69

you're a moron if you think o'reilly is a conservative.

falwell could never effect policy, there are many crazy very very far left wingers in office nationally, and locally who do it everyday

his group is was/is a advocacy group just like anyother group out there is the leader of everyone of these groups a moron?

Sorry you are correct, O'reilly is an independent, my mistake.

Falwell may not be able to effect policy in your opinion but his organization sure is trying, heres a qoute from his website of the moral majority.:

"As national chairman of TMMC, I am committed to lending my influence to help send out at least 40 million evangelical voters in 2008. The thought of a Hillary Clinton or John Edwards presidency is simply unacceptable (and quite frightening)."

"We will be organizing in all 50 states and enlisting and training millions of Americans to become partners in this exciting task of bringing this nation back to the moral values of faith and family on which it was founded. My National Liberty Journal newspaper will serve as a springboard for this great effort."

40 million votes could definately have an impact on policy, especially since they are all going to vote the same way, but i never called any leader a moron or stated that they were wrong, i was merely pointing out why some people are relieved by his death.

ok... so if people agree with him and they vote that way.... you have a problem with this? do you know what a representive republic is??

im sure you have the exacty same problem with every liberal group including aclu, teachers unions, everyother union, moveon.org, etc...

They sould require a certain iq in order to vote.

I'm not a good example for the leftist style thinking. I'm just more of a leave me the ---- alone style person, so I try to leave other people the ---- alone as well out of common respect. Honestly, to relate to a philosopher, i believe Id have to say my ideas are more inline with krishnamurti's than anyone else i've studied. I do realise thats an unrealistic style of thinking to apply to the general population who doesn't hold interest in anything like that.

And you would not be able to, since you can't spell should.

I think if queers(this includes LESBIANS) wanna be queers, they can...BUT there marriage SHOULD NOT be legally recognized by our country AND they shouldn't be able to adopt children and influence the youth of our country with their sick way of living(the bible says that men and women belong together, and I agree)...I believe a woman who has been raped or has become pregnant at an older age(which makes it a health risk), BY MISTAKE, should be allowed to have an abortion, but I don't think a young *** girl who doesn't take responsibility everytime she ------s her legs should be allowed to murder one baby after another...I believe physically healthy, ABLE U.S. citizens SHOULD WORK and not be handed a FREE RIDE, i.e. food stamps, tanf checks, subsidized housing, etc. etc....The pledge of allegiance says ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, I believe the Holy Bible is the word OF GOD...I know we can't ALWAYS do exactly as it says, but I think if we at least TRIED to learn what it says and tried to do things in this country REMOTELY like it says they should be done, this country would be a better place...Life might not be quite as entertaining as it is now for some of us, but in the long run, I think things would be ALOT MORE PEACEFUL, and we might all sleep a little better at night....Sooo, what would that make me??

jinxy

then marriage should not be recognized by the state then should it? since its religious? then it will be left up for the churches to decide then wouldn't it?
I don't give a ---- about your god. Your ideology of forcing the country to abide by YOUR gods rules is violent in its own. Any ideology, that an entire population conformed to would be a lot more peaceful. If everyone in **** germany conformed to the **** ideology, there would be no conflict. If everyone in soviet russia liked being communist, everyone there would live in peace. The problem comes in that we can all think for our ------- selfs and some of us value autonomy and others value power, or their religion. Jesus is fairy tale land.
