It doesn’t require a train of thoughts to recognize that the US constitution forbids religion into politics (and vice versa). It is fairly simple and straightforward. And that it actually promotes the idea of equality. Why is treating all a hideous notion to you?

Economics, government, society, marxism, socialism, communism, now radical environmentalism, all flow from the same well, and encompass far more than just economics. For instance china has all but abandoned marx in regards to economics and yet still consider themselves communists. Pretty neat trick huh?
Picking and throwing words don’t make for a coherent argument much less a logical one. China never implemented Marxism. In fact, Marxism never supported the idea that a government is the means to bring about any social change.

But, you ignored my question, instead went babbling about something else. If you care for a discussion, answer the questions as asked, and feel free to ask questions if you have one.

No because any "liberal" or "minority" that makes it to that point will be a turncoat or a token......there is a huge filter system in schools, colleges, politics, etc. to weed out those who do not orgasm for unlimited power and venality.

I would absolutely vote for an openly gay presidential candidate. I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with that? I guess I don't understand homophobia. Do homophobic people think a gay president would lack intelligence? Maybe they think a gay president would turn everyone gay. gasp!

But I see a problem...Do you think very religious countries would appreciate a gay US President ? I think about Muslims particularly...

Wooooow, to to be pro-gay, you MUST be gay?! Seriously, I didn't get the memo.

Aren't you afraid you'll be indoctrinated? You know "they" recruit.

The sexual orientation of the candidate has no impact on that whatsoever.

Do you mean you didn't vote in this little poll or you don't vote at all?

Seriously America has no hope if people are making PRESIDENTIAL DECISIONS on sexual preference and what color or gender they are.
For a free society we have some stupid people who care more about physical and personal lives then they do on REAL ISSUES!
