You know I never criticized him don’t you? I thought it was embarrassment to our country. Not just his action the republican impeachment.

You didn’t refer to yourself specifically, you said “Christians”. And fact of the matter is he was and still is pilloried for his infidelity by the Christian right.

[conan]

So…are they using goverment to impose their religious morals on society?

Meanwhile libs are using goverment to impose their entire moral philosophy.

[conan]

Again…Militant secularism is most dangerous religious beliefs to our free society.

It seems by just expressing those words has anger libs…wonder why.

Yeah. F.e. most of opposition to same sex marriage came and still comes from religious circles . They believe their god knows who people should be allowed to marry and therefore it should be codified into law.

For example…?

[Candyman]

Please name for me a time in American history when there wasn’t some group that was trying to impose their beliefs on society through legislation or public outcry.

And when you can’t then maybe you can get some therapy for your panty bunching problem.
I, for one, will chuckle heartily in your direction when the next Democrat is elected President.

[conan]

Back when I caution conservatives of using goverment to promote their morals liberals cheered me and said I was a good Conservative…now when I hold libs to same standards that I hold religious right…libs say I’m a bad Conservative.

But I have news for you libs out there…you’re greater threat to our society then Christian right ever was.

[Forcefield]

What an embarrassing idiotic speech by the worst Christian ever’s head honcho water carrier.

@gooddad409

Except for the 60 million and counting babies?

Christians and Republicans get abortions every day.

@conan

What does one having affair outside of marriage has to do with goverment imposed moral values?

I don’t see Christians wanting to prosecute infidelity.

Funny, according to this 2016 Op-Ed in the LA Times there are still 21 states that have laws against adultery. Do you think it’s libs that proposed and are maintaining those laws?

Op-Ed: Why is adultery still a crime?

I’m surprised no one had brought this up since it’s great topic IMO.

It’s a good term to label libs with since it’s them that wants to replace religion with authoritarian goverment to police our morals…of course their morals.

Why is the Attorney General of the United States making a speech denouncing the 1st Amendment freedoms of the 20% of Americans who do not align with an organized religion?

Is this appropriate to his role? He is supposed to represent the interests of all law abiding Americans.

@conan

Militant secularist is greatest thread this country face IMO.

We as Conservatives must deny them of a goverment that forces their authoritarian values/morals on our free society.

And that’s why we work to make sure they never ever regain power. Their revenge against us would be swift and terrible.

@hindsight

Speaking of morals, where does Stormy’s hush money payments from Trump fit in?

Yeah but Donald has been super moral since becoming POTUS. I don’t care what he did before that and besides both sides/orangeman bad/policy not person/seriously not literally/eat your Trump peas are cool/what like libs care about morals now/Obama-Clinton argle bargle…

There’s Americans, and then there’s Americans who worship the right god and are therefore MORE American than the former.

Diversity? As in being confused if you’re a dude or not?

Oh… So Bill Barr is a Theocrat waging a Culture War… now it all makes sense.

It was authoritarian government itself that instituted moral, religious values on every sector of society during the census craze at the birth of capitalism. Foucault covers this with his concept of “biopower”.
Here is the section of interest:

Biopolitics is a technology of power that grew up on the basis of disciplinary power. Where discipline is about the control of individual bodies, biopolitics is about the control of entire populations. Where discipline constituted individuals as such, biopolitics does this with the population. Prior to the invention of biopolitics, there was no serious attempt by governments to regulate the people who lived in a territory, only piecemeal violent interventions to put down rebellions or levy taxes. As with discipline, the main precursor to biopolitics can be found in the Church, which is the institution that did maintain records of births and deaths, and did minister to the poor and sick, in the medieval period. In the modern period, the perception grew among governments that interventions in the life of the people would produce beneficial consequences for the state, preventing depopulation, ensuring a stable and growing tax base, and providing a regular supply of manpower for the military.

Hence they took an active interest in the lives of the people. Disciplinary mechanisms allowed the state to do this through institutions, most notably perhaps medical institutions that allowed the state to monitor and support the health of the population. Sex was the most intense site at which discipline and biopolitics intersected, because any intervention in population via the control of individual bodies fundamentally had to be about reproduction, and also because sex is one of the major vectors of disease transmission. Sex had to be controlled, regulated, and monitored if the population was to be brought under control.

Aren’t you the one who said you would happily lie in order to win versus libs? Have you changed your stance, oh grand poobah of moral rectitude?
