They were all committed to the morality of the Bible, God's Law ... They were all in rebellion against the morality of the Bible, God's Law.

You haven't read much of them, obviously. I have, as a matter of fact, but even someone who'd only read the Declaration of Independence would know enough to come to that conclusion.

No longer a moral people we're self-destructing .... Well quite. It's been one long slide. We repealed the ban on Christmas, we stopped hanging Quakers, we stopped owning slaves, we raised the age of consent above the age of 10, we made it illegal for husbands to rape their wives, we ended segregation, and damn, look what's happened to the homicide rate ...
If only we could turn back the clock and become a moral people again. We could start by committing more murders, which would you like to be, victim or perpetrator?

Pressie, you're from South Africa, right? There's a strong Christian history there that you seem not to know anything of. Oh, I think he probably knows about it. Especially the bit where the Afrikaaners became God's chosen people. But now I am derailing my own thread.

I used to think that Canada would be a place to seek refuge as the ship of America goes down ... ... but they've had gay marriage for about ten years longer than us, and they're doing OK. Look, couldn't you try to be happy about this? Let's say that God hates gay marriage and so forth. Maybe he does. But if that is the case, then at least we are erring on the side of love and mercy by allowing it; we are loving our neighbor. We're like the parable of the unjust steward. I have done a lot of bad stuff, but in mitigation I would plead that at least I haven't been so self-righteous as to say that we should stone the gay people to death like it says in the OT. If our society is wrong, then at least we have been wrong by loving our neighbors as ourselves; by saying I will judge not, lest I be judged.

"I mean, this idiot says the same thing about my speeches," Paul told WaPo. "Do I need to say in my speech, as many people attribute to Thomas Jefferson, but some people dispute, before I give the quote? It’s idiocy, it’s pedantry — it’s ridiculous stuff from partisan hacks. Yes, Rand Paul, you stupid cockwomble, if you're going to go around saying that Thomas Jefferson said something, it is actually desirable to find out if he said it. And then there's the classic conservative bullshit, this "some people say this, and some people say that" dodge. Mr. Paul, you appalling asshat, just because there are two opposing views on a subject doesn't mean that reality is optional. It means that one of them is wrong. In this case, it's the people who aren't the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

Apparently it's a site for people who've worked out so much they're too big for their shirts, and are now desperately in search of a good tailor. It's bit of a niche market.

If you thought his comments about evolution were the stupidest thing any human being could possibly say ... nope.

To be fair to the man, though, he did say this 17 years ago. But he's standing by it now, 'cos it's in the Bible, which no it isn't.

Let us bid a fond farewell to the Republican who's so anti-science he attacked volcano monitoring. Like volcanoes aren't something we might want to monitor. Also I don't think much of the horse he rode in on.

"We have welcomed refugees -- the tired, huddled masses -- for centuries. That’s been the history of the United States," he told Fox News in a video featured on Cruz's website. "We should continue to do so." He added: "We have to continue to be vigilant to make sure those coming are not affiliated with the terrorists, but we can do that." Since last week's Paris attacks, the GOP presidential candidate has been a fierce critic of the Obama administration's policy to permit some Syrian refugees into the United States. "It is nothing less than lunacy, Cruz said on Saturday, citing security concerns. "It makes no sense whatsoever for us to be bringing in refugees who our intelligence cannot determine if they are terrorists here to kill us or not."

Obviously not the complete list, but here's something in particular ...
"I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," the Republican presidential candidate said at a Nov. 21 rally in Birmingham, Ala. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering." The next day, ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he misspoke, noting that "the police say that didn't happen." Trump -- who has said he was in his Manhattan apartment the morning of the attack -- doubled down. "It was on television. I saw it," Trump said. "It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don't like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good." No, Mr. Trump, you godforsaken monkeywitted buttclown, you did not see it, because it was not well covered on television, because it didn't happen.

"Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson on Monday initially backed Trump, saying he remembered seeing the TV footage. But later in the day, Carson's campaign walked back the statement, saying he had confused New Jersey with the Middle East."

The following appeared on reddit, and, though I'm loath to admit it, was written by someone who isn't me. Normally people like that suck, but this is one of those rare exceptions.
"Hey Trump, are you a fascist?" "You know what, that's something we have to consider closely, something we gotta look at, because we have to make America great again. We don't win anymore. Now you look at some of the fascists, in their early days, they won. They won. They didn't win towards the end because they made a whole bunch of mistakes. Like Franco. Franco made a whole bunch of mistakes and I wouldn't. But he had a country. He had borders. He put up a wall between Morocco and Spain and you know what? Morocco paid for it. Morocco paid for it. And you know what? Franco took care of his vets! He was very strong in military. So strong on military. And our wounded warriors. How about them folks. I'd be so strong on veterans. Oh my gosh I'd build hospitals so fast for them. It's a disgrace how we treat our veterans. And Franco was very strong on military. And let me tell you Id be very strong on military. And how about values folks? What's the best book? That's right! It's the bible. The bible is my favorite book. Great book. What's the second best book? That's right, that guy has it there, THE ART OF THE DEAL! Go ahead and hold it up. You know, a lot of great fascists had a lot of great books. And you know what? They hated communism. You know who else hates communism? Trump! Trump hates communism. Nobody hates communism more than trump. You know, I don't get enough credit for it, but I spoke out against the soviets in he eighties. Yeah. But those media back there, they won't write about it. THEY WONT WRITE ABOUT IT. I know. They're so dishonest. So dishonest. And you know who else is a communist? That's right! Bernie Sanders. Oh my. Oh my. Can you believe this guy? He wants free college and free healthcare for everybody! For everybody!!! Can you imagine that? You know who else was for that? That's right, Stalin. Stalin. And you know who prevented universal healthcare in Spain? That's right, Franco. You know, Spain only started getting into this mess when it switched to democracy. It's true. It's true. I hate to say it, but it's true. They switched away from fascism and now look at them. They're poor. They have 40 percent unemployment. Their country is a liberal mess. They don't win anymore. But Franco made great deals. Oh my gosh great deals! He got Germany to bomb the hell out of the rebels. Paid nothing. It was a great deal. It was a great deal for him. And then, he stayed out of the Second World War! He stayed out of it! He let Hitler and Stalin tear each other apart! And, by the way, I'm just fine with letting Russia bomb ISIS. I've been saying it for a long time. Bomb the oilfields. Why are we worried about Russia doing it? Let them. Franco did. And I made great deals too. Amazing deals. Yuuuuge deals. So you know, people talk about fascism like its a bad thing. But they won a lot. They won a lot. And we don't win anymore. We don't. And what's the problem with fascism? They say it like its a bad thing. Like its a PC thing! It's always about tone now. But you know what? I'm not worried about tone, so let them write whatever they want about fascism because they don't know what they're talking about. Alright, next question.

Couldn't we just ban him from all places that aren't the sea?
