I have a bad feeling about 11/8

[quote=FlyerInHi]BG, i can’t wait for you to eat crow next Tuesday. AZ is not so deep red anymore thanks to Latinos.
Joe Arpaio will lose.[/quote]

I don’t think there will be any crow left in this county on 11/8. Hillary and crew (media included) seem to be causing quite a shortage.

Have you heard? If you vote for a Democrat , you are going to hell.

Lol… I guess Catholic priests molesting little boys get a free pass to heaven as long as they pretend to repent.

Sounds like someone went off the rails a bit. What about Republican support for capital punishment, reduction in social services and support for military spending in situations where the US is not in direct danger? Oddly, we don’t seem to have a party that represents what are considered to be traditional Christian values (i.e. Anti abortion, anti capital punishment, etc).

In terms of your swipe at Catholic priests, the insurance rates for all congregations are apparently about the same:

Since the mid-1980s, insurance companies have offered sexual misconduct coverage as a rider on liability insurance, and their own studies indicate that Catholic churches are not higher risk than other congregations.

(One factor is that 96% of child molesters are men – and all priests are men.)

Actually, if anything there seems to be a growing problem among educators: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/01/20/more-teachers-are-having-sex-with-their-students-heres-how-schools-can-stop-them/?utm_term=.12f3fcc164ed&0p19G=c

I would expect 0 child molestations by Catholic priests, is that unreasonable?

I would also expect 0 by rabbis, imams, and pastors of any other faith. They all seem to engage in such things at the same rate, however – so no reason to point out one over another. Actually, the hope would be that no one would do such a thing – but there are a lot of people (the vast majority of whom are men) out there who don’t seem to be able to control themselves.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of some churches. I don’t quite see how a church/pastor/reverend what have you could say with a straight face that voting for one candidate over the other would damn someone to hell.

In fact, I find it interesting that a church would be partial and try to sway voter decision because of faith, commenting that one is actually “evil” while the other one, known women fondler, gets a free pass. Hence the snarky comment about sex offenders.

The church and the leaders should just STFU…Afterall, I thought that was part of the reason why we had seperation of church and state.

[Coronita]

Come to think about it… the church/priest/whatever that came out and said voting for democrats is damning those people to hell… Didn’t they just violate what IRS Ruling 2007-41 said was prohibited?

http://www.christian-attorney.net/church_political_campaign_activity.html

CHURCHES POLITICAL CAMPAIGN ACTIVITY AND TAX EXEMPT STATUS

Political activity by a Church can jeopardize its tax-exempt status under IRC § 501(c)(3).

Partisan Campaign Support or Opposition Prohibited:

A church, as a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) § 501(c)(3), is absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating or intervening in any political campaign in support or opposition to any candidate for elective public office. See Treasury Regulation §1.501(c)(3)—1(c)(3)(iii).

This prohibition applies to all national (federal), state, or local elective public office campaigns.

See IRS Revenue Ruling 2007-41 (provides concise summary of law, factors, and 21 situational factual examples covering a wide range of issues within this topic).

Note: A church pastor or minister may mention a candidate or a near future election but may not speak in favor of (or encourage the congregation to vote for or against) a particular candidate.

Mark my words, 15-20 years from now a lot of this “sensitivity” training is going to be proved to have stories of grooming(political as well as sexual) and abuse in it. That’s why I refused when the school picked my kid to be an ambassador, has nothing to do with my own views on inclusivity. Smells a little like NAMBLA, kind of like piggington’s does.

Damned liberals ARE rigging the election

It’s the damned vs the deplorables. How fitting.

I don’t smell anything here, but I have allergies this time of year.

BTW, how do you know what NAMBLA smells like?

The NAMBLA cross reference to PIGGS is an old joke. A guy from Temecula said Piggingtpn’s was a subsidiary or NAMBLA or something like that , it was hilarious and making fun of it was and is fun.

There are plenty of cases of portected sex abuse of boys , like the priest and penn state cases people are mentioning, to make comparisons to what could happen with people empowered with access to kids through the “sensitivity” training, especially the sex and gender aspects., is just being reasonably “sensitive”.
