The contradiction is Neo advocating a selective interpretation of the constitution - only people who say what he wants get free speech!

No the contradiction is religious right wingers in this country don't get to have their views heard, leftists do.

Thanks for playing.

One issue at a time or we will get into gish gallop territory.

This entire agenda driven embracement of the pope from an administration that has made a habit of ridiculing and mocking deeply religious Catholic and Christians IS gish gallop territory.

Citations?

Not only do we have to hear right wing religious views ad nauseum we've had to live with them in our laws. But a Pope speaking at the White House is what violates church and state!

Forget the religion and dwell on the discussion about doing something about poverty and world peace.
Just when are we ever going to break out of discussion stage?

At least another 50,000 years.

So sad, but probably true!
Seems unsustainable.

WE have been listening to the progressive agenda here for seven years ad nausem.

We don't need the pope for American political discussions.

If that is how desperate the left is after seven years of 'hope, and change' they DESERVE to lose in 2016.

Really??

Have you not been watching the news about the GOP nominations lately?

Living under a left wing brick are you??

Thanks for playing.

Thanks for smoking.

Nope but the Potus just threw a brick.

Pope faces tough crowd with climate plea

Francis will appear before a Congress led by the Republican Party, which has been steadfast in its opposition to policies that cut greenhouse gas emissions, with some lawmakers questioning the evidence that it’s happening and is caused by man.

Yeah...

What does that have to do with separation of Church and State!?

a reply to: Kali74

Ask Obama.

The wall of separation between church and state has taken a lot of battering over the past eight years. We look forward to the opportunity to patch up some of those holes. - See more at: www.au.org...[/ exnews]

So nada? You'd think a habit would make it easy to pull a quote.

a reply to: Kali74

Sure is easy to pull a quote:

honestly hope that this serves as a wake up call for those that demand their religion be front, center and intermixed with the State. As easily as a state or nation can be declared a Christian nation it can also be declared a Satanic nation... or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist. Religion is a personal matter and one doesn't deserve prominence over another. So which shall we have? Governmental display of all or governmental display of none?

Where's the bash in that quote?

a reply to: neo96

did you mean to make sense?

The horse has already bolted on having religious figures talking politics in Congress - here's a few of the US politicians (Federal or State senators, members of house or rep, governors, Presidents) who are or were also pastors, ministers or priests:

William H. Gray
Mike Huckabee
Samuel C. Fessenden
James A. Garfield
John Bull
Emanuel Cleaver
Robert W. Edgar
Robert L. Williams
William H. Hudnut III
John Danforth
Jim Spainhower
Gabriel Richard
Robert Drinan

A couple of them were even ordained Catholic priests......

The whole of het GOP candidate clown car is filled with religious extremists - have really not noticed that one idiot county clerk recently was mixing her religion with politics by not issuing marriage licenses as required by law??
