Well that's a useful and constructive thing to say, isn't it?
I don't believe in God. And that, too, is a relief!
I've seen you bring up the same idea in your reply to several posters, which I would paraphrase thusly: "Activists focus on the issues they find to be most important, and therefore anything they don't focus on is something they don't find to be important." I disagree with this idea, mainly because (as you said) there is limited time and there are limited resources. You are not considering that a political activist may be spending their time and efforts not where they are most concerned, but where they are most effective.
For example, I feel that ending human trafficking is more important than animal welfare, although I care about both issues. As a person without a background in detective work, social work, or a passport, any attempt to stop human trafficking on my part would be futile. Money is all I have to offer, and I have very little of that. However, there are many things I can do locally to stop animal abuse and to provide pets with loving homes. Therefore, I am more inclined to devote myself to the issue of animal welfare.
How am I misinterpreting what you said? If Gaga thinks that Target should not give money to politicians who are anti-Sharia, and wants Target's money to go to candidates who defend Sharia, then she is pro-Sharia. You are arguing that these are things she does want and think, although you do not know her personally and she has never made a public statement about Sharia. I'm getting the exact same meaning from this statement that everyone else did, as you can see from the post directly above my initial post.
"So Gaga thinks Target should not give money to politicians who are anti-Sharia and anti-gay marriage. But she wants all their money to go to candidates who claim they are pro-gay marriage but defend Sharia."
This is what you said. You might want to proofread your articles slowly before posting them.
Has Lady Gaga even said anything about Sharia law? Seriously, if you can provide me with a pro-Sharia quote in a reply to this comment, I'll give you the props for it, but I don't think you can do it.
I am a liberal, and I do not support any laws based on religious beliefs whatsoever. To debunk a couple of the other myths you believe about us, I have never been diagnosed with a mental illness, have never tried drugs, and really, really hate Bob Dylan. Try meeting some actual liberals in real life instead of just watching Fox News; you might like us!
Since ultra-nationalism is just patriotism taken to its most extreme, I don't see how you refuted my statement.
Ron Paul loves America more than anyone, so it's absurd to say he's anti-American. And he's a "vicious anti-Semite" for wanting to cut foreign aid? Newsflash: despite the fact it's less than 2% of our federal budget, foreign aid is the #1 thing Americans want to cut. You don't have to hate Jewish people in order to disagree with Israel's actions, and you don't have to be a racist in order to deny someone money.
As an aside, the term 'Semitic' or 'Semites' would apply to Palestinians as much as it would Israelis. They're the same people, with the same genetic background, just a different religion. Think about that and realize how much of a difference intolerance makes.
