Good job, you know your history. I don't have a clue how that's relevant though.

I didn't say abortion was changing or BC, you tell me why was it the two most talked about issues on President Obama's campaigning tour. Remember that war on women the church was out to take away our BC!!
Well sticking with the song theme, to use Macklemore's line from "Same Love," "It's a damn good place to start."

It was the most talked about because there's lots of ignorant one issue voters who think Romney hated women.

How so?

Don't worry, I don't expect a reply.

If we don't like the Christian right making religious laws, what in the name of **** makes you think we'd like even stricter religious law. That's just insanity.
Some states such as Oklahoma have passed anti-Sharia measures and liberals have overturned them. I have seen liberals, ironically women, go on TV news programs and strongly criticized the anti-Sharia laws.

Criticizing anti-Sharia laws doesn't mean pro-Islam. I don't think we need anti-Sharia laws, but that doesn't mean I want Sharia law.

Why would they want to be my friend? Do they want to join my Bible study? They are welcome to do so

Your other argument about Americans leaving Christianity to join Islam is complete nonsense.

The execution, in the southern city of Jizan, was followed by crucifixion, a punishment used by the ultra-conservative country for serious crimes.


I find many parallels with the ultra-conservative Tea Party/GOP and their harsh take on gays and religious subjects and the ultra-conservatives in Saudi Arabia. I am not saying they are the same but the more right-wing the GOP becomes the more they resemble the Saudi conservatives. Lets hope we don't turn into Saudi Arabia if the Tea Party somehow takes over America..

Saudi Arabia has their crazy people and we have ours.
