"However, on religious issues there can be little or no compromise.
There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious
beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than
Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme
being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's
behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are
growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with
wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following
their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups
on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a
loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the
political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if
I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.'
Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to
claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even
more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every
religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my
vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today:
I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their
moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' "

Jim,,
Great essay you wrote concerning this issue. Oh wait, you didn't write
anything, you just did a quick cut and paste. Oh well, nice cut and paste.

If you don't have the ability to think, a quick cut and paste will do.

Kind of hard to be creative when posting a quote (unless of coarse
you're a propagandist and lier)

I am neither a propagandist or a lier (whatever the hell that is).

As usually, you missed the point completely. Instead of cut and pasting why
don't you write some of your own words and thoughts, oh wait, you don't have
any.

Well Skippy -- I sometimes learn from the wise words of others.
Goldwater was one of a kind. A straightforward and honest politician

Jimcomma,

Goldwater was wise and a straightforward and honest politician, but you
didn't learn anything from him. Most of the time you don't even realize
what your are cut and pasting. I love it when the cut and paste article you
include contradict your subject heading.

You have never posted an original thought, but sometime it is better to
understand your limitations, so for you, it might be best if you just cut
and pasted articles you think support your position.

I am glad there are some intelligent liberals in the real world, but you are
not one of them.

Since this discussion is pointless, and all over the place, I may as well
add that you have no grammatical skills. You can obtain a GED for free in
some cities. Awls you hafta dew is lurn the stuff.
