I have always said that the best thing bush did as president was his effort in africa.
and i SAW gingrich say it on oreilly when they were discussing foreign aid issues.
I totaly believe that many churches do great things. The catholic church has helped millions of people but that is all erased when they allow one child to be raped and do nothing. churches also hide and shelter and assist illegals sneaking into this country. don't forget that.
and your comment about foreign aid for sick people is comical. just like building schools and hospitals and energy grids in iraq is fine, but not here right? just like giving iraqi's health care that is paid for by US tax money but not actual americans who's taxes are funding it all.
and our FAILING health care is 1/6 of our economy yet it's ranked #37 in the world right behind Latvia. so keep throwing money at a broken system and just hope it gets better? the biggest portion of the health care budget is emergency care for people that walk into a hospital for common colds or to give birth and don't pay. so if you met a family who lost a child because they couldnt afford medicine what would you say? how would you feel? would you say "too bad" and wave them off too?
Let's not forget the 700,000 people that declare bankruptcy every year due to medical bills. we've discussed it before but I'll say again. France, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Finland all have social health care and NOT ONE bankruptcy due to medical programs.

I don't like NASCAR because it is nothing but running around in circles and this is the same thing. I am sure this has been one solid month of rehashing the same old things over and over.
If you can come up with a topic about something other than evil Christians, George Bush is a criminal, healthcare or gays I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

once again, christians aren't the problem with which I take aim. Some yes, but religion as a whole is the problem. Its no different than money when it comes to making people do reckless and stupid things. And George Bush IS a criminal. More than 4000 people that have died in Iraq over a war sold to America based on a lie. Our healthcare is a problem with nearly a million people a year going broke because of it and people dying because they can't afford it. Gay people are discriminated against and labeled as perverted as if it's just a choice, by YOU repeatedly, and are being denied the same rights as everyone else. As I've said, Thomas Jefferson, a slave-owning white man wrote "all men are created equal...with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
that seems to only apply to specific people, not all as the document would suggest though right?
Again, the difference between you and I is that if I was shown proof that God or Jesus or Satan were real, I would say "oh wow! I was wrong!" but you guys refuse to look at common logic and scientific fact even when it's overwhelming. But what a shock coming from a group of people who think pouring pollution into the air and dumping trash into the water and spilling toxins into the ground aren't harmful to anyone or the environment. And the same group that says "Let businesses police themselves. they don't need to be regulated"
no big shock there.

Proud member of FreeOnes Hall Of Fame. Retired to
Minuscule? Half a billion dollars just for CPB. Shall I go digging? The National Endowment for the Arts is handing out $26.3M to 817 lucky applicants to complete their application for this money. Doing the math that comes to about $32k per winner. For what? Read this link: http://arts.gov/news/news13/Grant-Announcement-April-2013.html This is all shit no one cares about. Get 30 dancers to join your class at $150 each and you get a matched grant for the performance you are going to put on. The dancers aren't getting paid, It's part of the selling of the program. And now I take back to WHO GOES TO THESE THINGS? Charge $5-10 to every family member and friend to sit through this shit just to make you feel good by being there.
Do you think you have new art? Get $10,000 to $100,000 by clicking onto this link. http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do;jsessionid=yjqJRKVLQh530y2vwyh240wtkppFdfKwycYMc766l45Yp0DYQQ7Q!-1603384280?oppId=235986&mode=VIEW This shit is endless. Note that my links are not Fox News generated. When will we finally pull the plug on this? Waisted money in the millions adds up money we would should spend on more needed stuff. Judy doesn't need oboe recitals, Rickie's parents should only pay $1 for an inhaler.

Well if you wanna compare miniscule...compare it to the farmers being paid NOT to farm. That number is in the BILLIONS.
do you know the difference between a million and a billion? I didnt until someone told me that if you were to spend 1 dollar per second it would take 11 days to spend 1 million dollars. but to spend 1 dollar per second it would take 27 YEARS to spend 1 billion dollars. that is a drastic difference. and when you're talking a budget that's in the trillions, how much is a few million dollars really? peanuts.

farm subsidies and crop insurance cost the US tax payers $15.8 BILLION in 2012 even though the income for farmers is up nearly $20,000 on average.
from http://farm.ewg.org/
"Unlimited crop insurance subsidies now cost the taxpayer $9 billion a year and overwhelmingly flow to the largest and most successful farm businesses. Unlike other farm subsidies, crop insurance subsidies are not subject to means testing or payment limits and farmers are not required to adopt basic environmental protections in exchange for premium support from the taxpayer. While some farms annually collect more than $1 million in crop insurance premium support, the bottom 80% of policyholders annually collect about $5,000."
guess which side is behind this??? hunt: the side who wants smaller government lol and lower taxes and no social programs.

I probably shouldn't argue the intricacies of SCOTUS rulings with an 8th grader (I say that mainly because you act like one) but since you seem to have such a simplistic view of such a ruling I will make an exception.
What a State has united in marriage the federal government may not divide
What that basically means is that states will still decide this and there are a bunch of states that still do not recognize gay marriage.
Roll up your sleeves because you still have a lot of work to do. lol

I dont claim to be an attorney, but I know that it was defeated 5-4 and that is a HUGE setback for the bigots of the world who dont think gay people deserve equal rights. so the hicks in the bible belt can keep their 50% marriage failure rate and the gays won't be married there or live there. itll be one big family fuck fest (literally) in W Virgina and Mississippi the Carolinas and Alabama etc while the rest of America practices tolerance ACTUAL equal rights for everyone
:rofl:
Please stop while you are ahead.
This is about benefits which DOMA prohibited. It's still a state's issue.

Mariah, you have emphatically stated that you would like for religion and religious people to stop cramming religion down your throat. Have you ever considered there are people who would like the gay/lesbian/tg lifestyle to stop cramming their lifestyle down their throat?
Will E Worm
Conspiracy...
Less than 2% of the population. They need to shut up.
People of faith don't, for the most part, push anything on anyone. :hatsoff:
So, two gay men get married. How is that "cramming their lifestyle down [your] throat"?
You do. You hope for murder to prove your point.
How stupid you look, making arguments like this.
Also, 2% or not, they're citizens, and they deserve exactly the same rights afforded them as you do. Or do you think you deserve special treatment?
No argument from the worm. Just more dumbness.
Politicians who wants to run an entire country based on quotes from some holy text, do.

I find it hillarious that anyone would claim that people of faith aren't cramming their beliefs down anyone's throat. go ask the tribes in south america. or how about the american indians or any of the tribes in africa. how about the missionaries who knock on doors 7 days a week trying to convert people to their bullshit? How about the sunday morning preachers on tv begging for money? or how about the soldiers in Iraq who had a hill billy say he prayed on it and god told him that the iraq war was the right thing to do even though people wouldnt like the idea. the list goes on and on and on and on.
how about gay marriage laws. that is religious people pushing their beliefs. as is the anti-abortion movement. how about same sex adoptions. how about making specific types of sex illegal which is aimed at gays. or how about the parents who disown kids for living together out of marriage? or people being forbidden to marry outside their religion by their families?
Or how about the FUCKING 3000 people who were murdered on 9/11 Sam? you gonna say that wasn't about religion and faith?
