Have you noticed how Democrats use hypothetical scare tactics to get their agenda's passed

Here are a few examples of what Democrats will say to scare you and get their agendas passed.

 

GLOBAL WARMING!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! You will have non stop hurricanes, your coastal homes will be under water, life as we know it will be no more!

 

Gun Control - the weapon will cause more and more mass killings of your children in schools!

 

Abortion - women will be dieing left and right from coat hangers and back alley abortions. Hmmmm, since when did we care more for the person illegally taking an innocent life verses the MILLIONS of Babies losing their lives today. The numbers of women dieing in back alleys was miniscule compared to the numbers of abortions today.

 

Fracking - the Liberal states that refuse to allow Fracking and drilling for gas in their states tell us IT WILL POLLUTE YOUR DRINKNG WATER!! The studies have been done and that is a lie. Fracking is being done very safely in other states today. The same scare tactics with the keystone pipeline.

 

Allowing the freedom of choice for communities to have a School Prayer - Democrats tell us we can not allow that freedom because MUSLIMS WILL TAKE OVER OUR SCHOOLS AND FORCE YOUR CHILD TO MEMORIZE THE KORAN! LOLOLOLOLOLOL... here's a thought, if that one in a million senario ever played out, we could then censor the choice of school prayers!

 

Handing out free cell phones for people on welfare - If they don't have free phones, THEY WILL DIE!!!!!!! They won't be able to contact someone for help!!!

 

Obamacare - You must buy Obamacare because if you don't people will not have emergency healthcare AND DIE!!!!! never mind that we have medicaid for people who can not afford health insurance.

 

Free school lunch programs - Our children will starve to death if not given free tax payer school lunches. A peanut butter and Jelly sandwich, like I used to have for lunch is not possibly affordable for parents nor is it nutritional for them!

 

I could go on and on of how Democrats use fear tactics to impose more and more intrusive laws on the people all paid for by the middle class. It almost seems like we have elected officials where their soul job is to come up with more free givaways programs for the express purpose of buyng votes. They also spend their time putting regulations on anything that goes against their political agendas.

Now please do what you always do and tell me how the GOP is just as bad.... LOLOLOLOL

NO ONE SAYS THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any time something is preceded by "what if" it does not mean that someone thinks what comes after will happen. It means they are trying to get you to think.

Interesting. You want school prayer until Christianity is no longer the majority, then you want to censor school prayer. Now you know how every non Christian feels about a school prayer.

No, I understand how I would feel if some Democrats went to Israel and told them the same hogwash about how they could no longer have Jewish prayers in their schools. Can you grasp that our heritage is Christianity? You can deny it all you want, it makes you look the fool to do so. Can you grasp that our population is made up of of a vast majority of Christians? Can you grasp that the framers of our Constitution allowed school prayers for hundreds of years until liberals came along and told them they knew better what they meant when they wrote the words in the Constitution. The Framers said Government shall not establish a religion and force others to be Christians. A VOLUNTARY SCHOOL PRAYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH A RELIGION. NO SCHOOL WOULD BE FORCED TO HAVE ONE! NO CHILD FORCED TO PRAY! IT'S CALLED FREEDOM TO CHOOSE!

I would be the first to support the right of any nation to express their religious heritage as they see fit. If I lived in any other nation, I would never be as ARROGANT as Liberal Democrats to censor that nation's freedom of school prayers just because I had a different religion. I am not so insecure and closed minded to fear my children hearing a prayer from the majority faith.

If your hypothetical scare tactic actually came true, we would no longer be America. We would be a Muslim state that does force it's people to accept the Islam religion.

It's truly sad how Liberals twist the Constitution to censor things they don't like.

Again I say, this is why Conservatives are for school choice so your child would not have to hear that horrendous terrible atrocious prayer of love and forgiveness. I feel sorry for kids taught to fear hearing prayers whether it be at schools or football games, or Congress, etc. We would not want them thinking of others and caring for their fellow man with a prayer.

You do realize that Congress opens every day with a prayer? Can you imagine our Congress doing something that goes against the Constitution? OBVIOUSLY the Constitution does not mean what you want it to mean.

Can you grasp the concept that the constitution is supposed to protect people from majority rule? People can pray all they want in school right now. The only thing you are asking for is forced school prayer.

If I lived in any other nation, I would never be as ARROGANT as Liberal Democrats to censor that nation's freedom of school prayers just because I had a different religion. I am not so insecure and closed minded to fear my children hearing a prayer from the majority faith.

Then why don't you support the right of the United States of America to express their religious heritage as individuals? The United States of America says that religion is a personal choice and there is no need for the overall country to decide on a religion.

I am not so insecure and closed minded to fear my children hearing a prayer from the majority faith.

If your hypothetical scare tactic actually came true, we would no longer be America. We would be a Muslim state that does force it's people to accept the Islam religion.

And, you are closed minded. You do not support the majority faith, you only support the Christian faith. If the majority faith changes you think the country will no longer be the country.

It's truly sad how Liberals twist the Constitution to censor things they don't like.

But, it isn't as bad as ignoring the constitution to censor the things you don't like. And, it isn't twisting, it is called reading.

You are the one who fears Muslim prayer. We learned it from you. I agree that it is ridiculous to fear prayer, but if you don't fight for your rights idiots will tell you that everything was fine in the past. If religious people gave up on the idea that they aren't the only religion you may find that others will not object to hearing you pray.

You do realize that Congress opens every day with a prayer? Can you imagine our Congress doing something that goes against the Constitution? OBVIOUSLY the Constitution does not mean what you want it to mean.

Yes, I can imagine the Congress going against the constitution. I am not a liberal that thinks that Congress will always follow the rules. Thinking that everything Congress does is constitutional is completely ridiculous.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL... here's a thought, if that one in a million senario ever played out, we could then censor the choice of school prayers!

No- conservatives, moderates, and liberals alike have advised you that the same legislation that would allow a christian prayer in schools would also allow a Muslim prayer in schools.

Muslims in developed countries tend to maintain a birth rate nearly twice that of the general populace, around 3.0 or higher in most cases. Their persistence in numerous parts of the middle east is in part due to outbreeding non-Muslims and indoctrinating each group of children. It's a long term game, that over several generations results in the explosion of the Muslim population in a region.

If legislation is passed giving schools the choice of whether or not to have a prayer, and what kind of prayer to have, schools reaching a Muslim majority and conducting Muslim prayers will not be speculation- it will be reality, given a few generations of breeding. And that assumes that there isn't a concerted effort amongst american Muslims to make a pilgrimmage to one location with the express purpose of creating a localized Muslim majority to seize control of the schools to aide in their indoctrination. Here's a hint- that is entirely in-line with their tactics.

The point is not to try and scare you out of your position- the point is to have you thinking from another perspective, as of being a christian in a muslim school with muslim prayers. If that is not acceptable to you, for any reason, then you know exactly why prayer in school in general will always be unacceptable to some, and for good reason- you're just denying it. As you deny everything you don't like.

You've made it quite clear here that you're only really interested in christian prayer, and would make efforts to suppress any prayer other than christian prayer, should 'prayer choice' be allowed. This makes it rather evident that you aren't actually interested in choice. As such, I think we're done here.

This persona of yours is a liar, a hypocrite, and a bigot- and not a particularly intelligent example of one either. Nothing you say carries a shred of meaning. In the unlikely event that your religion is the real deal, your own god wouldn't even accept you. If there is a hell, you're bound for it. The only upside to this is that the priest that molested you when you were little is saved, so you needn't worry about running into him ;) Pardon my assumption- nobody gets the vehement feelings about homosexuals you have without being molested by the priest, uncle daddy, or both. I'm just glad that you didn't choose to be gay after that experience, like so many do. It's too bad choosing to be straight despite your natural inclinations isn't enough to get you into heaven, though.

I would think they were total idiots to say another country was doing something unconstitutional.
