“This market thinking is unbelievable.”
Only thing unbelievable is your backward thinking intolerant rhetoric.

It always amazes me how persons can use biblical scriptures to hide behind racism and bigotry.

You just gave me a reason to start moderating this thread.

I would really love to see what part of my post reflects racism or bigotry? I AM intolerant of abortion and the gay lifestyle, but it is far from a belief with no direction or facts. It is not a "blind" belief. Since when are homosexuals a "race?" No, this is not a statement of racism or bigotry, but a statement of common-sense and basic morals -- no matter what your religious beliefs. Where would the world be if everyone suddenly began practicing homosexuality or abortion? Forget the Bible. Just plain common-sense should tell you these are not simple "choices", but they are absolutely WRONG if you have ANY responsibility to anyone other than yourself. On the other hand, if you are a sociopath, with no thought for anyone but yourself, then perhaps they are just choices, but I'd argue that for the good of ALL mankind, sociopaths should be disposed of -- oops, I'll bet you are against the death penalty as well (that's a whole other discourse when we make the normal, law-abiding citizens pay huge taxes to build prisons with tax-paid guards, cooks, counselors, janitors, painters, construction workers, psychologists, etc, etc., etc., and keep spending millions and millions to "make sure those that are so crazy or hardened don't hurt themselves in solitary", this is ridiculous!). As far as California goes (as per another's comments), they can hug all the trees/seals/whales/rats/gays they want to -- but let's see them do it in the dark, because that's where they (term used liberally, but not all-inclusive) want to live morally, and so they shall also in the physical pretty soon with no power. That nutty governor threatening to seize the assets of power companies -- does he really think any thinking corporate head will build in that nutty state?

ps I was simply trying to make a point about crooked accounting practices going on and point out the real reasons (in my beliefs) for what we are seeing as America declines. The fact that the Constitution has held up as well as it has points to the brains of the founding fathers in constructing that document. Liberals have done their best to tear it apart, and it IS amazing that it has worked up to this point. But keep watching, because all those that you defend against so-called "racists and bigots" will eventually succeed in destroying all that made the USA great. You cannot dissolve absolute universal laws without a terrible consequence -- and whether anyone believes it or not, there are absolute moral laws as well as scientific ones.

What planet are you from? Thanks for the heartfelt, compassionate post on this holiday. You said it best I think, "call me a raving lunatic". No argument there. I can only hope that you are as far away from the Pacific NW as possible, you are not welcome here, nor I would assume anyplace else us "new era Americans" reside. If you believe your own rhetoric then what are you doing here? Saving us?
Thanks, but no thanks. I think you need a gut check on your own sexuality, your fear is showing. Isn't America great? Thanks for getting my juices flowing this beautiful holiday morning.

It seems our friend Soros only wants equal rights for those who think as he does. Perhaps he is living in the wrong country...

No, I only want EQUAL rights for ALL human beings. Liberals want EXTRA rights for gays and NO rights for unborn humans. Just as the public accepts phony accounting practices to justify their greed, so they accept flawed (and wrong) thinking -- let's call being gay the same as being born blind or crippled so we can justify special laws to grant EXTRA privileges to them -- it has nothing to do with a choice of a lifestyle -- or let's call an unborn child with a beating heart, and fingers, and eyes a "fetus" so we can kill them with no thought.
I think you should re-think the garbage the non-moral media is pouring down your throat.

I remain,

SOROS
