Both sides have been calling each other names since before the beginning of the country. One difference, today, is that the GOP tries to sell itself as being guided by Christian principals.
My question to you is whether you consider the kind of name calling the GOP does to be Christian?

Name calling or not name calling has nothing whatsoever to do with christianity.
I seem to recall something about turning the other cheek and doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I hate to pile on, but really, I simply can't let this pass.
And the ones like me who do get their blood pressures raised significantly by them do not speak up because they don't want to stand out like a sore thumb or end up getting arrested or expelled.
Please, give me examples of anyone in this country who has been arrested or expelled from any public university for something they said. Either that or acknowledge that any fear of expulsion or arrest that you have is baseless paranoia.

Re: Coulter not banned
Isn't is obvious? They're papists and that's what all papists want to do.

You don't see that the republican club caving into pressure from the the President of Fordham is exactly equivalent to Fordham banning Coulter? It is no wonder you are liberal. This is how you distort reality.

Off topic, but this topic is crap anyway, so sue me.
Frankly I think that's kind of gross, particularly since my wife holds a PhD in a biological science, and was considered sufficiently qualified in her performance of same that she was commissioned by the United States Congress to the Army at the rank of captain.
Ok, that got my curiosity up. What does a biology doctor do while captaining in the army?

Since Crash wasn't born in 1969, and I'm guessing his wife is roughly the same age, I doubt your response was of much value. But thanks anyway, mate.

Re: Coulter not banned / Fordham / Jesuits
What would you take as evidence that Rome has the intention of reinstating the Inquisition if they have the power to do so?
I'd be completely convinced if you had a quote of the Pope saying he wanted to reinstate the inquisition.
Would evidence that they'd been torturing "heretics" in the dungeons of Rome up to the middle of the 19th century carry any weight?
That would be the same as saying the U.S. wants to reinstate slavery because we had it in the 19th Century.
Just tell me what counts for you and I'll see if I can find it.
Personally, I'd much rather see what YOU think constitutes evidence of it.
