Mine's relevant because of a the moral relativism, xenophobia, and rage politics currently oozing out of the religious right...and how people have bent over backwards to rationalize it.

Yours is just out of left field and stupid.

Sounds reasonable.

How would expect a hotel, resort or restaurant identify every customer who works for a foreign government?

Um, by making a note of it in the computer system when reservations are made? I don't know too many people that aren't some kind of backpacking free spirit that don't go to hotels, resorts, or fancy restaurants without making them. I mean, reservations are common, no? These aren't Motel 6's where you walk up and ask for a room...after you've flown from another continent. Now online reservations would likely be another thing, but I don't think asking them to at least try to not violate a clause in the Constitution is asking too much.

I travel quite a bit and almost never give the hotel or restaurant my employers name. Almost nobody at check-in and especially at restaurants ask who you work for.

In the article they agreed to report all they can identify. What else do you want?

Well, as I mentioned, some of the links were to conspiracy theorist personal webpages. A huge portion of them are not. My point is, if you're on one side or the other, you feel as if though it's been unfair the past 8 years or unfair the past 6 months. You seem to be of the 6 month variety. I'm simply the person in the middle looking around wondering how in the sam hell we got here.

Are you an independant centrist (in the middle)?

When you take any of the many political ideology tests available on the web, where do you fall?

For you to call the religious right xenophobic is ill conceived. They spend about $13 Billion annually on foreign missions. There are literally thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands right now all around the world on medical or home building/repair or community service or clean water or agricultural project mission trips. And these are constant throughout the year. Adults and youth. Sure, some are not as effective as others, but off they go.

They are also adopting orphans from around the world.

Sure, there are xenophobes in every single cultural strata. But for you to talk as if it's a religious right thing makes you sound ignorant.

To call the religious right "morally relativistic" as if they have no moral compass is bizarre.

The only "rage politics" I see is from the libtards.

hmmm.... ignorant bizarre libtard

i guess if the shoe fits...

You assume that everyone on the right is a religious nutbag while ignoring the opposing comment that assumes everyone on the left is a race baiting snowflake libtard (more closer to reality).

I don't like Jesus, pro poofter rights, love abortions, and fully support choke slamming people with journalism degrees. :blink:

I'd say so, yes.

Years and years ago I took one of those quizzes and it told me I identified most with libertarians. But just like with the two major parties, I simply just don't agree with all, or enough of it, to identify as ______.

If they voted for Trump, they're definitely morally relativistic now. Tell me how the name calling, violence baiting, and ***** grabbing audio indicates good stewardship of a Christian culture. Hypocrites.

Foreign missions?!? IDGAF...the same people are probably ok with 23 million people losing coverage through Trumpcare and resent public housing. The only way to explain how they're willing to accept Trump's hostility towards H1-B visas (economic stupidity) and muslim countries not named Saudi Arabia is through xenophobia.

I've said several times on this board that I'm not a liberal, just repulsed by the fact that the GOP keeps finding ways to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

By the way the comment was intended to show the democrats being Muslim apologist which is interesting seeing as how they claim to be for the LGBT community.

Fact 1: Yates was urging the administration to get rid of Flynn because he was compromised by the Russians.

Fact 2: Trump fired her three weeks before he fired Flynn, and that was only because Pence made him.

Fact 3: Trump fired Comey.

Fact 4: Trump administration said he fired him based on the recommendation in the memo from Rotstein.

Fact 5: Trump administration said reason for firing Comey was that agency had lost confidence in him.

Fact 6: Facts 4 and 5 were complete lies. Trump decided to fire Comey BEFORE he had Roistein write the backing memo. And, testimony is universal that vast majority of agents had faith in and like Comey.

Fact 7: Trump said the reason he got rid of Comey was because Comey was investigating the Russian scandal.

Fact 8: Trump told Russian agents, in the Oval Office no less, that he fired Comey to take the pressure off of Trump on Russia.

Fact 9: Nunes went up to the WH to view documents as part of an orchestrated (and lamely so) platform whereby the next day he went back and held a press conference announcing that he was telling the WH what it had just told him, as though it was "news."

Fact 10: Trump repeatedly called on wikileaks, which was getting its info from Russian intelligence, to publish more bad things on Clinton.

Fact 11: Trump will not disclose financial details of his life or career, and in fact guards them as secret.

Fact 12: Trump has secured hundreds of millions of loans in the past from Deutschbank, and that bank routinely refinances such loans through Russian bankers and oligarchs that are part of the Russian intelligence apparatus.

Fact 13: Russian agents were noted in 2016 to have discussed using Manafort and Flynn to manipulate Trump.

Fact 14: The Obama administration, and Obama himself, told Trump not to use Flynn as he was compromised by the Russians. Trump did it anyway.

Fact 15: Trump had Kushner meet with Russian agents. No one will disclose what was discussed.

Fact 16: Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to relax concerns about Russia, including sanctions and military resolve.

Fact 17: Despite all this going on, Trump two days ago would not reaffirm Article 5. But he did make wise about the new NATO hq cost.


That's a start. I think there is enough there to make reasonable people start to wonder about this fellow currently occupying the WH.

There's a bunch of new tests out there. Some are fairly goofy because you can instantly tell the slant the authors are, right or left. Others are fairly comprehensive.

By whose moral compass? Your's? The are many, many Americans who vote based on single issues.

Trying to keep the Supreme Court from being stacked with interpretive judicial activists, abortion, rule of law, anger at what a liberal congress is spending money on, taxes, etc. ad naseum. Loads of folk vote based on the party plarforms alone and pay no attention to campaign candidates. As for me, I think HiLIARly would have been a much worse relativistically moral candidate. Womanizer enabler, influence peddler that she is.

Tell me how the name calling, violence baiting, and ***** grabbing audio indicates good stewardship of a Christian culture. Hypocrites.
