Partial reply to the faith-based post that was moved


Posted: Sep 12, 2012

I had replied to the poster on the faith board regarding the religious part of her post.  Here is the part that pertains to the political portion of her post:

It's not hard at all to understand why people will support Gov. Romney for president. He has the experience, knowledge. He understand issues the American people are facing. He has ideas on how to put people back to work. Mr. Romney will have people of all races and women in his cabinets. He will not rule the country according to his religion. Been an adult through many many presidents and none of them whether democrat or republican has ever let their religion run the country. They used their faith to guide them in the right directions, but never let it rule the country.

I never let religion rule the reason why I vote for someone, and most people here don't either, unless it's against the candidate they don't want elected, then they try to make a big dcfeal of relgion. To me it doesn't matter if someone is of any religion.  People have voted for Christians and Muslims, so people will vote for a mormon faith based man. 

What matters to people is issues.  The economy, unemployment, foreign affairs, education, etc.  People will vote for someone based on their voting record.  Based on that they are job creators, not job destroyers.  If they promised things to people they never followed through with.  Things that make a difference in our daily lives.  Not who someone prays to or doesn't pray to.

They either mean Keith Ellison to congress or it's - another Obama

... I mean King of Kenya... secret Muslim cheap shot.

Although I disagree with the OP, the content of her post sounded veru much sane, so I'm hoping they meant Keith Ellison.

You would need to talk to Obama about that. - nm

along with other Muslim politicians in America. If you don't like it talk to them about it. Maybe let them why you don't like that they are of Muslim faith and why prejudiced against people of the Muslim faith.

We all seem to be fine with it.

She could talk to Rep Andre Carson D-Indiana - since 2008

He converted to Islam in his early 20s, long before he took office.

It's truly baffling to me where you got the rest of this stuff, considering JTBB asked a question, then posted "nm."

Feels Like Hip Partial DislocationJul 15, 2015
Has anyone else had a pain when the hip joint of your foot pedal foot shifts out of place? My right foot turns out to the right from 30 years of using a foot pedal with it. I now use my left foot.  It is excruciating pain and I can't bear weight, but it usually resolver with a slight shift of foot position and no more pain. I think it's due to the position on the foot pedal all these years.   ...

A system that does away with our antiquated, divisive, polarizing party system.

Election years where John Q. Public is NOT bombarded with mudslinging, misleading TV ads.

Zimmerman Posts Moved Back To Politics BoardJul 23, 2013
My reasoning for moving the Zimmerman posts here was because most the posts were just people "gabbing" about their opinion of it and was not offering any political input.  I had figured that since everyone had been talking about other trials on the gab board, this is where the posts should go.  Then the posts started getting more political and the arguing and name calling continued and I don't think anyone on the gab board was happy about that. So as political moderator I have ta ...

I now hear this morning a nursing home has said they will take. After 2 different physicians saying brain dead the family still thinks she might wake up. I have a question about this.

I went regularly to a Methodist church as a child, but not a particularly religious upbringing. I don't really remember what if any religious thoughts I had as a child. When I married, I converted to Catholicism simply because my husband was Catholic, though really in name only. We raised our two daughters as Catholic and they went to Catholic school and we att ...

I immediately guessed correctly what they were doing, they were going to go to knock on doors to share their sects magazines. They stopped me as I was walking through the parking lot and were very friendly, so I was friendly back to them. I went ahead and took their papers and didn't bother to say anything about not b ...

God Is Testing Me, My Faith?Jul 06, 2011
What do you think when someone that's going through something horrible says 'God is testing me, my faith'? It's one of the many reasons I doubt there's a God....if there were, and one is a believer, why should they be tested? Sounds like torment to me, and why would someone that loves his children torment them in such a way? Would God (if there is a God) be so insecure that he'd need constant proof of one's faith? I thought God knows everything? So wouldn ...
