Unless I'm missing the metaphor here. Also, what point does having the deist headcount serve exactly ? I think the reason your not getting an answer is because frankly it doesnt really matter. But thats not where you want to go with it right ? If you really care so much, find out yourself and then you can share it with everyone with some information that may possibly qualify as useful trivia. | ||

But they did not write that into the Constitution. They wrote that the people who were elected, and by extension the people as a whole, would decided which the values of the nation. But of course the people who govern also feel the best way to govern is by their values, because they were elected by the people based on that. Exactly the point. No, they didn't write " you shall have no other gods before me" but they were influenced by what many of them believed, and to dismiss all infleunce in that area is wrong. Idk why some people think that J-C values were no where to be found. | ||

Or how it's relevant to Moltke's post at all? You seem pretty dense for someone so arrogant. | ||

I'm more surprised it's not lower than higher. http://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/how-do-latinos-feel-about-donald-trump--525563459717?cid=sm_fb_lastword Well if you look at the polls from Gallup, they show most Latino's views haven't changed. http://www.gallup.com/poll/184814/hispanics-frown-trump-not-rest-gop-field.aspx I think they don't care about the Republican debates about who is the most hardcore about deporting illegal immigrants, so they don't watch. And the democrats haven't done anything yet. But Trump continues to be unelectable when it comes to the general election. | ||

The CNN/ORC poll showed Trump, a real estate mogul and former reality TV star, continues to lead the contest with the support of 24 percent of registered voters, down from 32 percent in a previous poll. bit.ly/1OnmXrB ... Speaking to NBC on Sunday, Trump was asked whether he'd accept a Muslim president, and replied: "Some people have said it already happened." reuters on top of still having really bad numbers when it comes to how many people think he's a goon | ||

 I feel like Trump peaked right before the second debate, and is going to go downhill because it's becoming more and more obvious to his "fans" that he doesn't know shit. He was much quieter and less in control during the second debate. | ||

Why wouldn't they want to be stigmatized worse than they are, and create a Latino equivalent to the red scare?! | ||

I'd have to see the source, but reform of an complicated tax system funding an entire sector of lawyers is an issue. I haven't heard what Carson's specific views are on it and how it was articulated. I find this issue-avoidance charge usually reduces to a wide rejection of conservative solutions to the issues. Wake me up when both sides stop saying other ideas don't work, haven't worked int he past, never had a chance of working even theoretically, and won't work in the future.Carson also said he favors a tithe system solely because of the Bible. The fact him and Trump are in the top 3 are proof enough that a large segment of the Republican base simply doesn't care about the issues, or is living in some fantasy land.

Lately, this has flared up in religious objections to involvement in other faith's religious ceremonies, and taxpayer support of the sale and distribution of fetal body parts and organs.The Republican party is based on Judeo-Christian principles. The Republican party has by and large limited itself to vocal defense of such principles. I think it's increasingly based upon replacing the management of the three branches and bureaucracy for unknown goals. | ||
