The difference between Mao and Stalin was that the car companies begged him to do it!

It does not mean random shiftings in one political view to placate your audience. You can be civil and still hold strong, consistent views, which Scarborough does not. Why don't I like Scarborough? Small example: The man said he thinks the government should raise CAFE standards so high that it would force carmakers to innovate and then two sentences later he touts his libertarian bonfires. Hypocrisy anyone? The point (in case you did not get it) made in this small exchange and many others I have seen Scarborough go through is that the man has no consistent political view, his finger is in the MSNBC wind and he changes accordingly. This is not civility.

Not using those energy save light bubs to illuminate union busting activities.

This is why environmentalism is so popular. In a strange reversal of Christianity, it makes everyone mini-Messiahs. Who would not want to be the savior of the world when all you have to do is turn off your lights for a hour?

Who as killed more in the last 100 years? Atheists or Christians? Beliefs and how people live their beliefs change over time. There is another thread where people have been discussing Mormons. Even though Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists persecuted Mormons horribly early in Mormon history, I hope most Mormons realize people of those faths are not the same as the people who persecuted the Mormon Church over a hundred years ago. I do find it interesting that people who were for prop 8 thought it was ok to black list Mormons after the prop failed though. You have a truly bent view of Christianity. I can tell that much from your posts. Christians have no excuse when they do something wrong, rather they have a responsibility to change, like most people I guess.

Twentieth century history tells us otherwise. Atheists have spilled more blood in the last century than any other belief group. In the countries where they, as Communists, took over, Mao killed over 30 million, and strove to change people on the most basic level. But perhaps you are saying, "Wait, Wait! Even though Communists were Atheists, I am not a Communist, and I despise what they did!" Fair enough, yet your post, and Atheists in general (in my experience) pull a similar trick with Christianity. They point to the worst behavior of "Christians" and brand that "Christianity." I don't like that some Christians behave in an unchristian way, but that is not an indictment of Christianity, but rather a lament that people do not take the opportunity Christianity offers to better one's self.

I lived in Taiwan for a while, if your main beef with Christianity is the lack of consistency (which by the way is built into Christianity, "we are all sinners" etc., Christianity is about imperfect people striving towards an ideal. I guess Atheists have no sympathy for that.), then Buddhism would really set you off. People there are just as cruel and inconsistent in their faith as you claim Christians are. Not to say they are bad people, but rather they have the foibles of all humanity. Buddhism is as much of a missionary faith as Christianity. Otherwise how did it spread out of India to begin with? There are Buddhist clergy here in the States seeking converts too.

How could you not when stuff like these blatant mischaracterizations come out when ever the word "Mormon" is mentioned in any type of media. Somehow people of other religions are never made to account for what long dead men may or may not have said or did, but Mormons need to account for every supposed action taken by the Church and its members a multitude of half wits and out there cook up because they hate what is different. Just let Mormons be.

Somehow I do not think Gaza is welcoming to homosexuals. Truly, the left can forgive anyone their sins except the right. Mass murders are welcome but please do not ask for tax cuts.

Having recently graduated in this market, I am making my way as a freelance consultant helping businesses find and understand markets for goods/services and formulating strategies to increase their profits there. I am still looking for more permanent work, but I am honestly happier now than when I had the more stable grantees of academia behind me. Some might call me a hypocrite saying I went to business, which is not known for freedom of speech and diversity. Perhaps so, but they do not advertise themselves as such, and they do not lecture others on their nonexistent virtues. The point is to make money, and hopefully have a positive impact on people along the way, a goal I rejoice in.

Having spent four years in a PhD program at a large public university on the west coast, I have seen my share of gross institutional hypocrisy. Free speech for liberal ideas only and an exclusive diversity that hated Christians were the most prevalent. This was gross institutional hypocrisy, a metasitized version of the conflicts that are at the core of modern liberalism.

Remember, opposition to a bill can be bipartisan also. The Contract with America, if I remember correctly, could not have been passed without some bipartisan support in congress and at least grudging acceptance from Old Bill himself. The difference between Republicans and Democrats on this issue is the Dems can claim a victory here or there because of bipartisanship. Republicans, in the last twenty years or so, have been better at stringing together agendas with bipartisan support.

Conservatism will not have influence without won elections, something the libertarian party does not do well. Although conservatism is not the only voice in the Republican party, it is one of the stronger ones, IMHO, and the only one that can allow conservatives to have influence at the state and national level.
