Huckabee Speaks on National TV, Saying People of Faith Are "Marginalized" |
|
Huh?
Mr. Huckabee, when there's a POTUS candidate who can get on national TV and smoke a joint, then you can say religious people are marginalized, k?

and in fact their are arguments in the bible for the use of herbs. IMHO if its alright for the president to drink liquer he can sure as hell smoke a joint.

But users of MJ and other recreational drugs, who can't afford to cop a plea for private rehab, that's the greatest group of needlessly marginalized people in America.

It's a killa, ain't it?
A Dem candidate speech was just on now and again, religion figured hugely.
Not naming name, cause I'd rather not see this get kicked over to primaries.

6. Ironically, what he is offering to do |
|
is marginalize the people not on the accepted "faith" list.
I keep warning people that this is what these "people of faith" ardently desire, and would do with stakes and piles of firewood, but very few people get the point.
For Huck's "base," the constitution only applies to THEM, because they are "the chosen people of god."
Bah. Why do I bother.

8. That's what they're told every week |
|
on Christian radio and TV. Everyone in the world is out to get Christians, don't you know? Never mind that white protestants are the most dominant social, political and economic group in America.

9. Yes they are so oppressed |
|
It is really pathetic that they have to resort to such tactics only because they know how gullible their supporters are.

In the sense they are not controlling the fate of every american through theocratic domination.

13. That must explain why all the candidates are pandering to 'em nonstop |
|
Good thing there aren't enough religious people in this country to help other religious people get elected. :sarcasm:
