The thread was shut down due to the tremendous amounts of "Report To Moderator" reports we had about that thread. A small percentage of posters took up a lot of personal time on the part of the mods, who do this for free. It is nothing to be proud of. Kind of like a frat contest seeing who can produce the biggest .

It is the Moderators who are thin skinned I'm Kidding I'm Kidding I'm Kidding I'm Kidding I'm Kidding

All I did was agree with Lakhota about threads being shutdown.
I would have shut down Lakhota's thread after the second page it was his attempt again to pit religious vs non religious

What if a Democrat Congressman had stated: ‘The Heart Of Conservatism Really Is A Hatred For God’...?

What if a Democrat Congressman had stated: ‘The Heart Of Conservatism Really Is A Hatred For God’...? Yea but NO Democratic Congressman said "The Heart of Conservatism Really is a Hatred for God" And this is what Congressman Akin did say: Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. And so they've had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country.

I agree, although some posterd will not see that. Warsaw was banned days ago, I announced it on the thread he was banned on, but amazement still persists.

Not true ma'am here is the entire statement by the Congressman: " Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. And so they've had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country."And btw Congressman Akin issue an apology today for his comments in case you are concerned ??

Lakhota posted the entire statement you just posted as well as a video link and a link to the article. So, no snipit, and you are incorrect.

There's now a thread open on the statement and the apology that was offered. Feel free to migrate to THAT thread (hint hint) and discuss this further..... rather than here .... since we don't need two open threads on the same topic.

Here's Lakhota's snippet: A Republican Congressman stated: ‘The Heart Of Liberalism Really Is A Hatred For God’ [/quote] That is a thread header. Totally different. You can only fit so many words in a header, so you use what will capture attention or the header from the article you are citing. As long as it's stated in the article, it's all good. Lakhota used the actual title of the article. No cherry picking, no snipits. Do you see the difference?

I went with reply #22 in this thread which is what I was refering to Ma'am which was just one phrase of the entire statement by Congressman Akin...
I hate to be rude but I am have just about had it with this subject of liberalism hating God...

I did get a mod semi smackdown, so I feel all warm and fuzzy. warm and fuzzy? See, that is the difference between a Liberal and a Conservative. You come out feeling warm and fuzzy, and conservatives come out feeling cold and violated I'm a liberal? I thought I was a fiscally conservative social liberterian with a practical bent who thinks the government entirely too concerned about what happens in the nations bedrooms. But whatever.
