that's only because religion was discouraged and religious organizations were persecuted under the communist regime

i might add that their are over 100,000,000 Christians in china
Right...so Christians in this country don't think religion should play an instrumental part in government? So the bible doesn't give you a guide to live by? {sharia law for Muslims} So Christians don't consider homosexuality, adultery, etc a sin? Maybe you need to re-read your bible to see what's really in there, or are you another one of those 'pick and chose' Christians?

LMAO ok hahaha. I'll go ahead and let you believe your own 'facts'. You can go ahead and ignore where we stand in every single evaluation that's been performed, I just wont discuss this with you either.

Yes it kind of does matter what another, and arguably more powerful SUPERPOWER believes in. They understood why religion needed to be kept in it's place. Which I understand how ironic that sounds since I'm religious myself.

That's quite irrelevant. For one, that's less than a tenth of their population. Two, how are you going to claim a religion, but you can't even admit it publically.

where are the Christian holy wars and terrorists ?
Do the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of civilians we killed in Iraq count? You know- the ones who lived in a country that never attacked us? That country where we never found any credible evidence that they had any plans or even the ability to attack us?

Or is it not terrorism when 'we' do it?

Yes, well we don't, so it's pointless mentioning it.

3. Don't propose privatizing Social Security or reducing Medicare. That will lose the senior vote faster than ice melting in the Arizona sun.

4. Stay out of the electorate's bedroom. What we do there is none of your business.

5. It's the economy stupid. Focus on the economy, fiscal conservatism (not social conservatism)and how to improve the standard of living for ordinary people.

6. Figure out how to silence the RWNJs.
Totally agree.

I have nothing against religious people, and I don't mind if they talk about their faith. Just keep god out of our law. On abortion, I agree "go easy" is the correct term. Being pro-life is fine. Working within the law to effect pro-life positions is fine, as well, but stop calling the other side baby-killers. Stop demonizing doctors and women. Demonizing gays isn't going to win votes either. Gay rights issues are still in process, and it's not entirely clear what will be the outcome, but one thing's certain; they're not going back in the closet.

Nobody's going to improve the standard of living for ordinary people. The banks own both parties. Sad, but true.

Figure out how to silence the RWNJs
I wonder how many people realize that this can lose elections. In my state, in early 2010, Harry Reid was losing in the polls to Jiminy Cricket - by 20 points - but the Republicans nominated Sharron Angle. Outrageous ideas and statements never make for good campaigning.

But we are in 2015 and not in 1940. So if the GOP wants to win the Presidential election it needs to adapt. You have to win the center of American politics and the center cares about economic issues and not social ones.

so what exactly is your company ?

Romney didn't choose where he was born, he saw an opportunity and he took it, he created hundreds of jobs for the working class
Don't get sensitive now

It's a private company.

I see an opportunity to stab someone in the eye I don't like, doesn't make it the right thing to do, but I guess in corporate America there is no right or wrong just profit margins. He also destroyed thousands and shipped even more overseas. All hail corporatilism!

those liberals sure do love pushing diversity down our throats.........gee wonder why"

Only idiots lose over diversity again and again.

Dinosaurs could not learn to adapt. Will the GOP POTUS be the dinosaurs of 21st century America?

'arguably more powerful SUPERPOWER'



keep thinking that




china persecuted religious organizations, you have no freedom of speech in china, is that what you want for the USA ?




Parts of the bible are not meant to be interpreted and are not meant to be taken literally, you cannot compare the bible to sharia law

Christians do not consider homosexuality a sin

If we invent time machines, you should probably be the first person to go back to then. I think that'd be mutually beneficial.
