Re: Republicans rally against 'war on religious freedom'
Funny I made the post prior to this one and then saw this post of mine. Seems we have an on going thing of the left trying to make these things out as something they are not.

Re: Republicans rally against 'war on religious freedom'
Republicans.....FFS!
Arizona Republicans Propose Bill Requiring Belief In God To Graduate High School A group of Arizona politicians — all Republicans, of course — have proposed a law (House Bill 2467) requiring public high school students to recite the following oath in order to graduate: I, _______, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge these duties; So help me God. It’s bad enough the Republicans are demanding loyalty of the kind normally reserved for members of Congress and beyond. If this bill were to become a law, atheists would either not be allowed to graduate…or they would be forced to lie so they could graduate. Neither option is acceptable. Amen, to that! J/K!

Re: Republicans rally against 'war on religious freedom'
Yeah, Disinformation seems to be more about Misinformation (zing!).
To call this a bill by Republicans requiring high schoolers to believe in God is crazy talk. Its a bill by 2 Republicans requiring students to swear or, very likely, affirm their support of the constitution, nothing more. Its currently written as an oath. I pretty sure there would be an affirmation option in place for people who object to oaths. Now if you have a problem with current citizens swearing or affirming their support of the constitution, then thats different. But this has nothing to do with God, silly liberals. And if it was about God im sure it would piss him off, as i dont think you are supposed to swear on or to God, hence the use and role of affirmations.

Key words are highlighted and underlined. This thread is about Republicans being dumbasses when it comes to their religion. This isn't say ALL or EVERYBODY, but these people ARE representing the party. edit: No, I don't call them dumbasses because they are religious. I call them dumbasses because they want us all to pattern our lives and follow their guidelines based on their religion.

Re: Republicans rally against 'war on religious freedom'
...and here we have more GOP dumbasses trying to make abortion illegal (in some instances).
New Mexico lawmaker resurrects bill making abortion after rape a felony - Salon.com Submit a bill claiming a fetus is "evidence" in a rape crime. Hence it would make it illegal to "destroy evidence" by getting an abortion. Quote:

To quote Bobby Jindal, Republicans have to stop being the stupid party. Like he said Republicans have said some really offensive things recently. Im glad they are being called out, they need to be. And Im glad Jindal is saying it, he needs to be. I think most Americans are more inline with conservative principals, they just dont know it. These stupid social and religious comments and actions so many on the Republican isle make take away from the real issues. We live in the day and age of sensational headlines on meaningless topics made for the low information voter whos in charge of deciding elections. But at the end of the day its their own fault for not changing their rhetoric.

Re: Republicans rally against 'war on religious freedom'
Maybe math isn't yours area of expertise, but I count 8 people as sponsors, including a Senator.
Representatives Thorpe, Borrelli, Seel, Shope, Smith: Dial, Livingston, Senator Crandell. Here's the Bill. I didn't use the word 'god' when I swore my oath of allegiance, but then this is California. |

I have no idea why you took an oath or what you said, so im guessing here..... but when swearing i believe its implicit that you are swearing to God or at least to a sacred idol, even if God or that idol isnt mentioned. But if you or a bunch of hs kids are uncomfortable with swearing to God or a god, you are all in good company because God forbids it, as is written in the Book of Mathew. What is the Difference between "Swear" and "Affirm" in an Oath? - mobile wiseGEEK With that said, it appears all athiests and none pagans are being attacked by Arizona Republicans.
