Now he's denying it and blaming it on Clinton.
Cruz came out saying "Vote your conscience" is the best thing ever.
I hate that slimy bastard, but I love him for creating an entertaining speech. :))
I'd honestly rather have Trump than Cruz though, as Cruz has the whole Evangelical-nutjob aspect to him that Trump lacks.

Having been raised by them, the Evangelical Christian camp of the far-right scares me a ton. I still love and work in an area that has an extremely high number of them, and the **** that comes out of their mouths on a regular basis is pretty frightening.

I'm not religious, but I was raised in a Roman Catholic family. My father, his two brothers, and three of my mom's cousins were all in the Seminary together, though none became priests. My aunt and two other uncles are principles at catholic schools. It runs deep, and this isn't an area anyone would accuse of being overly religious.
Not a single one of them can believe the bull**** that comes out of the mouths of people like Cruz. It was the same with Bachman saying that God told her to run for president.
While I don't personally believe, it's not only sickening to see people say such things for political gain, it's absolutely infuriating to see people exploit and misrepresent the faith of others in such an obvious way. It feeds stereotypes and opens up sane, rational, intelligent, peaceful and loving people to undeserved ridicule by those who think these nutjobs are the norm.
You nailed it Waateva, persecution of the Church typically, in my experience, comes from the 'church'...
We meet in homes privately away from the mainstream Churches for that reason.. Pretty sad, but all we can do is distance ourselves from them..

Sure it is, but I have yet to meet the Catholic who will actually argue that 2 of every land-dwelling species on planet Earth somehow managed to fit on a boat that was supposedly a little less than half the length of the Titanic. Most Catholics I have talked to about this stuff seem to see the Bible as a great book, but that most of the stories in it aren't supposed to be taken literally, and even among Christians Biblical literalism is a relatively recent development.

I think much of what you just said is highly contestable, and some of it is just patently false, but this really isnt the time or place for such a conversation, so I will respectfully refrain from discussing it any further. If you would like to continue, perhaps a private message is more fitting, so that we dont take away from the intent of the op.

Well, we disagree. And that's cool. I've had several good conversations with people of all stripes about religion. And because we understood that it was a conversation, not a conversion, they were constructive. I don't think it's necessary to convert people. But conversation about the things in the world and what we believe- it's central to knowing someone. I'd personally rather someone told me outright that they didn't like me because of my race, religion, etc. Because then, I could know who they really are, rather than the PC BS we're led to put forth. And I could choose based on the truth whether I wanted them in my life.

I agree with demik, but I completely understand your point as well. The problem with discussing a lot of things is that if someone believes it "hard" enough, they often aren't interested in having a conversation about it, they are just waiting for you to be done so they can offer their rebuttal. So the whole time you are talking, they are just formulating a response rather than actually listening and trying to understand why maybe you believe differently than them. This is certainly not limited to religion either, as people do this with tons of things and I catch myself doing the same thing, but I have been actively trying to correct this behavior because it's not a good thing.
This is what happens when your life just revolves around one thing.I think religion should be kept to yourself. It's your faith/relationship with your higher power.

I'm not saying that people, probably Hillary included, don't change their public opinion for personal gain.
But the idea that someone changing their opinion over the course of a few decades means they are now a "flip flopper" is absurd.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/donald-trump-diversity-convention-225742
I am really getting sick of hearing (sane) people calling Trump a "sociopath" when he is clearly a psychopath.In casual conversation, “sociopath” and “psychopath” mean the same thing. One is just a slightly older term, which was then arbitrarily redefined a few times. In technical conversation between psychiatrists, they still mean the same thing most of the time, but psychiatrists are notorious for inventing arbitrary categories and then coming up with weird criteria for fitting people into one or another. There’s seldom a particularly scientific basis for the categorization, but anyway.. If you want to know precisely what a specific psychiatrist means by one of these terms in a technical context, you should ask them which technical definition they’re using.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wicked-deeds/201401/how-tell-sociopath-psychopath (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wicked-deeds/201401/how-tell-sociopath-psychopath)
When committing crimes, psychopaths carefully plan out every detail in advance and often have contingency plans in place. Unlike their sociopathic counterparts, psychopathic criminals are cool, calm, and meticulous. Their crimes, whether violent or non-violent, will be highly organized and generally offer few clues for authorities to pursue.This is nothing like Trump’s MO. Trump is disorganized, ad-hoc, incredibly impulsive, and makes little effort to hide his motives or his tracks.
Um.. NAFTA was negotiated by Bush Sr.’s trade people, and signed by Bush in 1992 (right before Clinton took office), but technically that signature has no binding legal authority, it’s just a ceremonial statement that each nation intends to examine the treaty and consider ratifying it.Remember, it was the Clintons who passed NAFTA and the Clintons who continue to support the TPP.Not true. Bush Sr passed and signed NAFTA, although Bill Clinton implemented it.
The Clinton/Bush election in 1992 was the closest example we’ve ever had of “both major parties are the same, it doesn’t matter who you vote for”.
This is what happens when you get a bunch of white people togetherShow Image(http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/762/095/77c.jpg)that do not understand things like science and evidence-based research.
I still dont see the point in bringing up skin color... Considering many of the speakers at the RNC were black or spanish, not just white..
Spanish isn't a race, it is a language.
Hispanic is not offensive. Calling someone the shortened slur derived from that is as is calling all Spanish speakers Mexican.
I have literally never met someone who insisted on Spanish over Hispanic/Latino/Latina. The only people I know of who orwant to be called Spanish are Spaniards. The only other ones I know who like that sometimes are the Aryan looking douches from Mexico City who think they're better than everyone else because of their fair skin.
Also, yes, all political parties are mostly white, the statement is that a significant majority of Hispanic and black voters identify as and vote Democrat.
And about the psychopath, except for the sentence about planning the description is dead on.My personal opinion as a non-expert is that Trump doesn’t show the signs/symptoms most strongly associated with psychopathy. In my opinion, calling him a psychopath is a misuse of the term. If you think he sounds like a psychopath, I recommend you consult with a trained psychiatrist, or do some more reading about psychopathy.
But yes, a monumental narcissist would eschew planning as a waste of time.
Instead, Trump is almost a perfect textbook example of narcissistic personality disorder. If you have ever known someone with this type of personality, the relevant features are in clear public display here. He has a profound need to always be the center of attention, to be congratulated and praised, to dominate every interaction. He is impulsive, thin-skinned, unreflective, paranoid, and suffers crippling fear and anxiety whenever his transparently bogus self-image is questioned, which he copes with by aggressively lashing out at his perceived attacker. He lies with impunity, and generally says whatever he thinks will get him the most immediate attention and validation, without consideration for future consequences.
In my opinion, calling him a psychopath is a misuse of the term.
Like psychopaths, he clearly has low empathy, looks out primarily for himself, and is indifferent to the suffering of others.
I generally see people who look at the world as "we are all in the same boat / we are all in this together" and people who generally take the attitude of predators.Indeed. And even in, say, the internal politics of the Republican party, most folks there believe in cooperating with each-other to achieve some common goals.
What is that supposed to mean, exactly?So why does Hillary announce her running mate just after 5:00 on a Friday afternoon?
muslim.
muslim.
What is that supposed to mean, exactly?
... Technically, any label for a group of people is semantically flawed, all white people are not ethnically identical for example, even though we are painted that way.. Also, Ive have had spanish folks tell me that 'hispanic' is offensive, so I try not to use it.
...
So finally to the point. Since Hispanic or Latino isn't a race, it's an ethnicity, you can be Hispanic/Latino and white, or you can be Hispanic/Latino and Native American, or so on and so forth. The latter is the group that will sometimes bristle at the titles of Hispanic or Latino, both of which etymologically come from Europe. Often these people will prefer Xicano, but that label also has baggage for others. So the current situation is the official term is "Hispanic or Latino", but some prefer something else, but as long as you are respectful to the person you are talking to, and of the people you are talking about, the specific titles aren't to be worried about.
