As long as they have "Christian-sounding" names...

When was the last time NDAA was blocked in its 50-year history? And why would republicans block something they overwhelmingly support?

It should've been blocked is the point. Congress is in Obama's back pocket. His secret wars in Lybia, Egypt, etc...useless Congress right now.

Why would republicans want to block something they overwhelmingly support? Besides, why are republicans (and their right wing supporters) so pathetic as to assume that even republicans are in Obama's pocket and are ready to dance on his whims at any time? Really?

  1. Quote:
    1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
    2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
    3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
    4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
    5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
    6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
    7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
    8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
    9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
    10. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
Oops, I guess I was wrong. I actually have a third question:

3. What color is the sun on the planet where you live?

False dichotomy, just because it wasn't founded as a Christian nation doesn't mean it was found on Satanic principals.

If the only argument you have is a fallacy of logic then your argument is false.

Name any of the Principles this country was founded on and I'll tell you if they were Christian principles or not. that's how you find out.

1. Life. A christian principle
2. Liberty. another christian principle
3. The pursuit of Happiness. a third christian principle.

Now if the country was founded upon "Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" then YOU might have an arugment. but as it stands so far, I win.

toodles.

Voltaire was very critical of religion, and has been variously categorized as an atheist or an agnostic, though in reality he was a deist. A death-bed admonition to a priest attempting to convert him that "Now is no time to be making new enemies" has also been misconstrued as meaning he was a satanist, though evidence exists to show he was truly a deist.

Indeed.
  1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. Population Control..Satanic
  2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity. More Pop.Control
  3. Unite humanity with a living new language. One world language...Satanic
  4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason. More Pop. control...Satanic
  5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts. One World Government...Satanic
  6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court. One World Court...Satanic
  7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials. Do away with the Bible. It's considered "petty laws" by the Satanists.
  8. Balance personal rights with social duties. Meaning your rights are no different than somebody in Cambodia..
  9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite. Scientology
  10. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature. Earth worshippers and not whorshippers of God who created the Heavens and the Earth
