Rex Murphy: Testing America’s tolerance

Offer him a better job.
There must be a store somewhere that sells grits who would employ him.

RACIST!!!!

Kidding, I love the grits.

Absolutely.

Hee hee.....I don't need to do that.......all I need to do is focus on reality.
Heartland America is fast asleep.......apathetic America is wide awake.

The opposite is true, Apathetic America is very much asleep which is why they keep voting the same DBags back into office year after year. Heartland America is out voted by the easily bought sleeping voters.

We maybe everyone needs to wake up.

Actually the Hearland should leave the Union & start their own democratic government. BHO is selling us out.

[Karen]

We, the American people, elected BHO. If you do not like politicians in office, don't vote for the incumbents.

One of the founding principles of our country is separation of church and state, and every American is free to pursue the religion of his or her choice.

If you don;t like that, you can move elsewhere, in my humble opinion.

[Bonny]

Not everyone voted for BHO & a lot of people that did aren't happy with the results.Yes, the Muslims can move back to their own country where they don't have to worship among us Infidels. This country was settled by Christian people with a whole different set of beliefs & values then the Muslims. This is my country & I don't plan on leaving it anytime soon. Forget being humble because that is what is wrong with this counrtry.

They don't need to move - they are as welcome here as any other religious group. What do you have against our beloved Popcornbird, for example?

And if you want to get picky about it, there were people here before white settlers arrived who were not Christians, and it's their country, too. You'd likely have little in common with the Pilgrims, if you looked at what they believed, do you celebrate Christmas? Easter? They didn't.

Not everyone voted for BHO, and sure people are allowed to complain about any politician, but this is a participatory democracy. As Americans, we understand - or should, anyway - that sometimes our party doesn't win, but rather than just complaining, if we don't like the results, we still have to live with it, and work for change in the next election. That's how it works.

[Bonny]

The people that were here before the white settlers killed each other. They all didn't live in peace & harmony. Where did they come from?

We don't have to live with it. That is why we are fighting a war.

[RICHARD]

Don't laugh about that one mate....it just might happen.
In Malaya (a muslim country) they used to bury a child live in the foundations of a new bridge....that was to ensure that the bridge remained safe.
Another example of a sick and twisted culture ????
Sounds like something Neandertal Man would do 70,000 years ago.
I guess some things just don't change.

I have to repost the story. It was more of a joke than burying a child in the foundation. I don't think neandertal man was interested in burying their off- spring. They were too busy raising them to hunt and gather?

There were many tribes, that were peaceful, and some that were not. Where they came from in generally thought to be crossing the Bering Straight from Russia and Asia long before countries existed.

And hopefully the lesson has been learned.

One of the founding principles of our country is separation of church and state,

It is? I always find how people take this...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

And turn it into "Government cannot be religious." All because of a private letter from Jefferson to an Anabaptist minister.

Show me where "separation of church and state" is in the Constitution.

But...

and every American is free to pursue the religion of his or her choice.

100% agreed. But NOT because of the idea of "separation of church and state." Because the 1st Amendment says so.

If you don;t like that, you can move elsewhere, in my humble opinion.

Always amusing to hear people say this.... Pray tell, WHERE?

I count the Amendments as part of the totality of the Constitution.

As for where to move, well, you'd have to pick which kind of religion you'd like to follow. If you want a place that's entirely - or even mostly one religion, there's Vatican City and its environs, for Catholic, Saudi Arabia for Muslim, Armenia for Armenian Apostolic, Greece for Greek Orthodox - The Scandinavian countries for Lutheran - though there you'd still have to put up with more than 10% non-Lutherans ...

So the Indians came from someplace else just like us. We will end up just like the Indians someday on reservations serving the Muslims in their country the United States of Muslimham. Sounds stupid doesn't it, but we keep acting like a bunch of whimps & it is happening now right under our eyes. There was something about the Roman Empire how the people became lazy & didn't really care anymore about their freedom & they lost it.

What makes you think Muslims are trying to take over our country?

And you may not remember it, but when you joined Pet Talk, you had to agree that "By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."

What makes you think we Americans are wimps? How many men and women have to die in war for you to take back such a comment? Not enough bloodshed for you?
