And it's not just Hillary who finds herself on the receiving end of such personal attacks. Sarah Palin got it, too.

The Bible lays out a path for divorce.

Only for men. According to New Testament scripture, a man can divorce his wife for adultery, not the other way around. She cannot re-marry unless her previous husband is dead. There is no guidance for women whose husbands commit adultery, because this whole "one woman, one man" thing doesn't exist in the Bible. Men are free to marry and sleep with as many women as they like.

Trump is an idiot
Your first sentence is bigoted, ignorant and hateful.

As for your second sentence, Trump doesn't drink yet you think he is an idiot for not drinking.

Awww. Too old to have a drink and then get up and work the next day? Pity, that.



Oh hell, yes. Any normal human would.


Trump would probably eat several burgers but that's a whole nuther issue.
Per the bolded --- Any normal human would get drunk after losing an election? Wow...just...wow. Maybe you drown your sorrows in booze but you don't speak for everybody.

She's just an appendage to her more charismatic and accomplished spouse. If that's the truth of how her detractors view the matter, all I can say is we are a sick & twisted culture.
Hillary was not the sterotypical politicians wife and no one ever forgave her for having ambitions of her own.

Please do tell where I said 'get drunk'.

Oh, that's right. Nowhere.

Once again - the stark black and white thinking of a conservative. Where 'having a few drinks' means 'getting drunk".

I forgot that former President George W. Bush was caught drunk driving.

Read what you wrote in post #41. Sure, you didn't actually type the word "drunk" but it was quite clear that you were saying that a normal person would hit the vodka bottle after losing an election. You were defending Hillary for getting drunk on election night. Stop trying to be coy---it's isn't working.

The Catholics, Southern Baptist and some evangelicals believe women can teach but not preach.

They are forbidden from leading a congregation or a nation. Their numbers are many.

A Baptist minister of a large congregation in my school district would not even consider a female to be superintendent of schools.

I'm aware. Even the Lutherans have two branches that will not allow women to preside over men in any capacity. Women may teach Sunday School to young children, but serve on the church council or vote on congregational issues? Absolutely not.
