Kirk Cameron defends Todd Akin

RelativeSpace said:
Yes, but unfortunately, the voting masses of the base are largely true believers in whatever random political ideology, so anybody who expresses honest uncertainty will likely just be seen as weak.

People want certain leaders who know what's right, who know what to do, and will lead them forwards to a promise of a glorious future.

At least, that seems to be the case. But maybe it would appeal to the swing voters and moderates as a new base of sanity?

I'm pretty sure the magazine I read it in (Time or Newsweek, IIRC) would have attributed it to Rush Limbaugh if he were the one who said it.



In the poll, they were not asked if they WANTED him to be quiet, they were asked if he should be ALLOWED to speak. This implies that some authoritative body would be the one to curtail his speech. Hard to imagine they had in mind anything other than the government.

Of course, this is all to the best of my recollection. It was something that stuck with me, though.

So you could be misremembering?

I withdraw my assertion of BS, but I still want to see a source and see the exact wording of the question.

I backed off the BS label because I recently rediscovered the TIME/ABT SRBI poll in August of 2010 that indicated that 28% of registered voters thought that "Muslims should not be allowed to serve on the Supreme Court." Thirty-two percent said that Muslims should not be allowed to serve as president."

That 28% was not broken down by political party. So there is no telling if it was more Democrats or Republicans.

If a third don't want a Muslim to be able to run for president then the number of Americans who have no fBomb-ing idea what the Constitution is is much larger than I expected. Therefore, the 40% number in your poll may not be as outlandish as I first thought. But in the end, I still want to see the poll.

Look, it is not like we have one real christian on the court as it is, it is full of papists and jews. Our founders would be shocked.
 
Ah, the humanity! Ah, the science (not)! Kirk Cameron, second banana to Banana-man Ray Comfort, defends Todd rape-victems-can't-get-pregnant Akin!

The entire Democrat strategy for this election cycle is about class warfare -- convincing mainstream America that others are more successful and need to be punished for it. It's been in Obama's rhetoric for a year, re-emphasized when he "reminded" people that it's not even their own doing if they have a successful business in this country.

That's not the only area where the Democrats hate American success. They hate it in war, in international politics, and essentially in any other American arena.

It's not surprising, since Democrats get elected by making people afraid of each other, and afraid of America's strengths.

Snort.

Wow and I bet you typed that with a straight face.

It looks like your ability to interpret the Bible in ways to suit your political beliefs has found another use, interpreting reality in a way to suit your political beliefs.

You are a perfect example of those who I say are Republicans first, Christians second. Jesus was the first free market prophet, right :rolleyes:

Republicans don't believe it's the government's job to engage in certain charitable and protective acts that Democrats believe are necessary for minorities and women.

Which charitable and protective acts (aimed at women and minorities) would you remove from the government?

He "reminded" them it was not solely of their own doing, we are all together as part of a nation.

Funny how hard that is for you to accept...

Yes, that would be why (for example) Obama has been so unsuccessful... :rolleyes:

But hatred? No. Hating others has always been a Democrat speciality.

You are so silly, since you are part of a group that seeks to take away women's rights, defranchise minority votes and deport anyone that has the wrong skin color.
 
Oh yeah. Well then, I may not be a Democract, being Canadian and all, but I can agree with this.

HATE!
 
As much as I don't like Kirk, I have no problem with what he says here. I agree with him in that we all make mistakes and we should be judged not for one or two comments. I don't agree with the comment, but I don't think that sums up the entire guy. He could be the bastard everyone makes him out to be, but I can't make that determination from one absurd and ignorant comment that even he himself says was a mistake.

That's insulting to Kindergarteners, many of whom already know concepts like "be nice" and "share" that seem to escape political pundits.

The problem isn't so much that they act like kindergarteners, but that they are doing it in a checks-and-balances form of government where each branch can use its leverage over the others to force policy in its own favor. It worked well for the first two hundred years or so, but recently things have became polarized like never before. Now we're left with a bunch of people who won't hesitate to bring the country to its knees in order to further their own agendas.
