I worked as basically an independent contractor during the 2008 election cycle. I did the weird GOP debate that they had at St Anselm college in NH and the Convention in Minneapolis.
From what I got then, there wasn’t a full glass of kool aid being passed around… It was still Hannity and Colmes… O’reilly had his own little booth… Jaun Williams was quite nice… It was rather strange that Fox was the only news organization with space on the convention floor and being in a police state is okay as long as you have the correct credentials.
Remember when you said you were a proud white nationalist? This is like that, again. I see you already have 15 replies on this so I’m not looking to push it… but man, c’mon. Really? You don’t see the giant glaring problem in what you just said? You seem like a nice guy so I just can’t figure out why its always you of all people demonstrating not an gaping hole in understanding regarding core American values, and sometimes proudly arguing against them, seemingly without understanding why.
Even if I was born today but could read the story I’d pick up on the very obvious context clues of her own employer condemning her, that what she said wasn’t something to get behind just by the headline to this thread alone.
Chris Wallace, Shep Smith, Bret Baier- is this OK with you? Do you want to share your network with her?
This is a fellow American you’re talking about.
Where does that concern come from? There’s no reason to even suspect that unless you see that she does. And for that matter, who says her religious beliefs are out of line with the Constitution?
It’s encouraging that there are some at Fox condemning her comments.
You misunderstand what the term “religious test” refers to.
You (and everyone else) is welcome to use a candidate’s religion as a factor in whether or not you want to vote for them.
No law can be passed making membership in a certain religion required (or banned) for the Presidency.

Then for the second time in two days, I must be naïve? There is no hate in my question or in my interpretation. Lastly, I’ve listened to Janine for several years and although she’s passionately outspoken, I’ve never, ever heard anything racist or bigoted. IMO you’re seeing something that I am not and she never intended.
You don’t think its bigoted to think someone can’t be loyal to their country because of their religion?
I’m saying unless it’s a test, then Congress has absolutely no right or reason to ask a nominee their beliefs in abortion. As long as the Constitution IS still the law, the first amendment gives us freedom of religion. It is not the governments business. What then is the purpose of asking. If it can not be used to test a candidate or nominee, then it is pointless to ask,
unless you are asserting a Christian would put their religious beliefs over enforcing the law. If that is what you are doing, you are an anti- Christian bigot.

These sorts of statements are so far out there that it’s beyond sensible to address them.

Omar hates Israel & Jews. Her bigotry in public, but of course the democrats won’t specifically point it out.
Pirro should be condemned. Her remarks were every bit as stupid and inappropriate as some of the stuff that Omar comes out with.
I’m quick to fault Omar and I would be a hypocrite to let this go.

This is true. That doesn’t excuse the stupidity of Pirro’s remarks.

I think it’s wise my friend, to watch and observe if they can represent their country, placing their responsibilities to represent those constituents ahead of acting out on one’s personal feelings based on their religion. So I guess in your world, one must be naive to not be bigoted? I’m not that PC and don’t think that way. I can observe with neutrality and let their actions be the evidence of whether they can or can not.
Think about it Guvnah. If God is taken out of the picture, then we truly are nothing more than the product of luck. We could just as well have evolved into a tree or a worm. We are not the strongest, the fastest or the longest lived of species on Earth. What separates us is our intelligence. Is intelligence a justifiable reason for our dominance of the planet. To go a little further with this line of reasoning, if all people have this evolved intelligence, what would give the right of any one group (nation) of intelligent people any right to gain, exert or take any form of superiority over another group of people in ANY thing? What arrogance of the U S. to claim greatness… Sound familiar?
You clipped the context out of my post and made it seem as if those statements were stand alone representations of MY beliefs. You’ve read enough of my posts over the years to know better. I was playing devil’s advocate… C’mon Guv, I’ve made no secret of my far right fundamentalist beliefs. I expect scorn and criticism, but you’re better than this…

Yes, our intelligence is justification for dominance of the planet.
Let us hope we have the wisdom to not trash the place while we are here.

That’s not the standard any Christian representative is held to.
