If I were homeless I'd head to San Diego.  Better weather and a lot more places to sleep.

Like the canyon behind my house.

Can I use your garden hose to shower?

Thanks, man. It'd be nice if you could leave an occasional prime rib sandwich and a dry martini (Tanqueray X or Plymouth if you have it, with olives) on the back porch as well. :thumb:

Quirt,

You and Rick may percieve your self as Robin Hood, robbing the rich to give to the poor, but your taking such a huge cut out of the middle negates your good intentions.

You are a lawyer, and Rick has been on the public dole positions all his life, two parasites living off the host.

lb

Bzz! Bad guess. You really haven't been paying attention, have you?

I've said repeatedly, I'm a securities lawyer. I do deals. I don't take a cut off the top, I facilitate transactions that might not otherwise happen.

You, on the other hand, are a consistently negative presence. A cloud of negativism. You pop up every now and then, toss off a few insults, and then disappear into the ether for another couple of months.

Sort of like a seasonal mosquito.

Allow me:

A liberal is tolerant.
Takes the time to evaluate ALL sides of the issue before jumping in with rash conclusions.
Realizes that another persons opinions may have validity.
Believes that God put us here with the purpose of helping others (among other reasons).
Does not spew hatred.

Sounds like solid conservative principles to me....

*esp that God part....

Could it be that those principles belong to BOTH sides?

No...of course not... I'm only 20. What do I know... :rolleyes:

You mean there might be TheoLibs(tm) out there trying to subvert the US Constitution and bring about a biblical reign of authoritarian rule? ;)

Of course the matter of politics is separate from faith, it just sort of surprised me that belief in God is suddenly a "liberal" principle. And you are correct -- those principles span the political spectrum (this side of Pol Pot) -- so it seems a meaningless series of descriptions of a "liberal".

Suddenly a "liberal" principle?

Since when were liberals not allowed to have anything to do with God?

I never did understand why people think religious liberals (esp Christians) somehow don't exist. They're like conservative athiests...they exist.

TheoLib...I like it.
And how are you today?

Sure they exist. But you're confusing two types of liberalism. You're speaking of people who are religious but are politically liberal. Religious liberals can also refer to religion itself. If you're speaking of politically liberal, sure, there are people who are religious, not in their religious views, but in their political views. But if you're speaking purely of religion, religious liberals are just as dangerous to religion as political liberals are to politics.

I asked you once to tell me what you thought being a liberal was, and you declined to answer. That's fine, I'm not goint to push you on the matter - but I will tell you one of the biggest areas of rot and decay to society that results from liberalism, whever an infection of it breaks out - relativism. Relativism weakens whatever host it infects. When it is applied to religion by the religious Left (as opposed to political left) the result is a religion where all the foundations of that religion are weakened, reinterpreted, reshaped to fit a PC agenda. It has no absolutes any longer, as absolutes are seen by those infected with the disease as something the "unenlightened", ignorant "fundamentalist" hold to. In truth, relativism is a cancer that is eating away at both religion and politics, and as a result, society in general. Evidence of it can be found everywhere you look.

There should be a sort of Godwin's Law on the Internet where the argument is lost when all you can do is attack someone's profession.
Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

Perhaps, but it's pretty much a general understanding anyway.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

OT, OT, OT!

You have got to read more closely!

For those of us who hold views outside of the accepted views on TNCR, it is not possible to be just a traitor here. You also have to be a coward and you have to be mentally ill as well.

Sheesh! Get with it man!

Oh, I almost forgot! When you do not hold to the accepted views here, it is also best if you are dead -- usually by being shot, but not always.

So, let's get this down.

Because you do not always agree with the general mindset here, you are automatically 1) a traitor, 2) a coward, 3) mentally ill and 4) should be killed by gunshot.

Now, ya got it?

Since when were liberals not allowed to have anything to do with God?

I never did understand why people think religious liberals (esp Christians) somehow don't exist. They're like conservative athiests...they exist.

TheoLib...I like it.

Look at the context: Larry asked #6 to define a "liberal", and that is what #6 considers to be a liberal principle. I hold as you do that there are theists across the political spectrum (and even theist who hold that "God put us here with the purpose of helping others"). So as a defining term for liberal it is inadequate.

My point has nothing to do with "liberals not allowed to have anything to do with God" or thinking "religious liberals (esp Christians) somehow don't exist." I am just taking exception to #6's statement that "Believes that God put us here with the purpose of helping others" tells us anything about what a liberal is as distinct from a conservative.
The dogma lives loudly within me.
