...when you think that Rush Limbaugh really is not only heterosexual, but capable of a natural erection.

When you make quotation symbols in the air when discussing the validity of autism's existence.
Real life example was Sharon Angle.

And thinks religion should be taught at schools yet are hypocritical enough to say with a straight face that you support religious freedom. You think other religions are terrorists and are blind to your own radical nuttiness.

When you think the rich are rich because they're being rewarded by God, while the poor are poor because they're being punished.

Throw “it’s for the children, the poor little children” into just about anything including methadone clinics and all the sudden anyone opposed is a nazi.

You sided with the Patriot Act and now b!t&h every time you have to show 12 different forms of I.D. at the DMV just to renew your license.


Actually, I think the patriot act is nothing more than a kneejerk reaction to something that should have been quashed decades ago.

Quote:
you believe Illegal Immigrants are a danger,

Of course they are a danger! Do you want me to get you some figures on how many of them get busted for felonies in this country? By illegal alien we don’t know how they got here, whether they have a rap sheet, what kind of diseases they might be carrying, or what their intent is for being here.

Quote:
and Labor Unions fighting to keep wages up are as well.


Sometimes labor unions have a place and sometimes not. I have mixed feeling on their legitimacy.
They can get out of hand with their tactics which can be driven more by greed than fairness.

Quote:
you think Islam is a religion of terror.


Well, let’s just say that Islam does produce the lion’s share of terrorists in recent decades. With that it’s easy to draw that conclusion about them having terroristic leanings.
Last time I checked it wasn’t Presbyterians that flew jets into the twin towers.

Quote:
you bought a domestic for its fuel economy.


WTF is domestic? I have a Japanese name brand truck made in the US and I use to have an American name brand one made in Canada.
As for fuel economy that’s up to the individual what they are willing to pay to operate it.
Those little green cars might be more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly but I wouldn't want to be in one when it get's hit by a real car, truck, or SUV.

Quote:
you complain about the economy while voting against a minimum-wage increase.


Someone is ALWAYS complaining about the economy.

Quote:
you voted for George W. Bush...both times.

It’s not that all conservatives loved W, it’s more like he was the lesser of two evils.
I'm seeing a lot of voter remorse about the outcome of the '08 presidential elections.

As far as I can tell nobody thinks that. Most conservatives do not use The Bible to promote capitalism.

When corporations want more money it is "capitalism".
When workers want more money it is "greed".

actually, it is the basis of Calvinism. In the Reformation the idea of 'pre-destination' came up, (the idea that G-d already had pre-determined if you were going to heaven or the hot place because salvation was not earned by 'indulgences'/prayer/faith, etc. as the Catholic Church had ordained - it gets pretty complicated)

Anyway, the Calvinists figured out you could tell if G-d had pre-destined you for Heaven by how you got on in this life.

Several centuries later, the Prosperity theology a Christian religious belief whose proponents claim the Bible teaches that financial blessing is the will of God for Christians. Most teachers of prosperity theology maintain that a combination of faith, positive speech, and donations to Christian ministries will always cause an increase in material wealth for those who practice these actions. Oral Roberts was the first to teach the doctrine of divine healing that God could miraculously solve financial problems through faith.

I don't have to tell you about TV evangelicals that preached tithing to their missions by promising financial relief to those that contributed.

anyway, I am not aware if this is only practiced by conservatives, however it is a prevalent dogma in the mega-churches.

You're right on track, with the exception of Calvinism. Calvin was more one to emphasize the elect's upright, moral life, rather than how much money you had - - or didn't have. The notion of the prosperity gospel was picked up by evangelicals who might describe themselves as Calvinists, but are actually Arminians, who often make claims to born again experiences, and believer's baptisms.

Then I suggest you read this:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011 ... onald.html

Quote:
I've never quite figured out how evangelical Protestantism and extreme fiscal conservatism are entangled. But they are, at least here in the U.S.

Apparently, the God worshipped by the most fundamentalist of born-again Christians prefers small government. He does not approve of raising taxes, even on the rich. (Some might say especially on the rich.)

I had all this explained to me years ago, shortly after arriving in the States, by a prominent leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, one of the most powerful evangelical denominations in the country.

This preacher was more intent on explaining why abortion is murder and homosexual behaviour should be criminalized. But he took the time to explain how God's plan applied to government finances, too.

The fact that wealthy Americans pay much lower taxes than wealthy people in any other developed country is, apparently, God's wish.

True believers would never force America's most pampered citizens to pay a greater share in order to help the less fortunate or reduce the nation's indebtedness. That sort of talk is just "class warfare."


There's more to the article. An interesting read.

When you figure your homophobia makes up for your closeted homosexuality.
Case in point - Very conservative disgraced Senator Larry Craig, and former Spokane Mayor Jim West; both of whom had built political careers on gay bashing, despite being secretly gay.

If you believe the government can't solve all or even most of your problems, and won't always be there to help you in an emergency.

such torture people inflict upon themselves in the name of a Bronze age belief system, I hope for their sake the G-d of their understanding will have pity on their souls
