And you are right there in the middle of all kinds of things the Bible condemns and tells you not to associate with. You're either a hypocrite or a fake.
Pushing aside the fact that you have no idea what my party is, if a party is trying to force their religion on people they should abide by the rules of it. To be clear, religion and politics should not mix.

You hate Trump and run cover for the Democratic Party. Own your party. No one respects someone who pretends to be a milk toast fence sitter when it's clear that they aren't.

Ever looked around mint? This cultural Marxist religion is telling everyone which statues are allowed, what words can be said, who can say what on social media, who can act in Hollywood, who we are and who we aren't, whether we do or do not need police, who can or cannot report the news, which companies can or cannot exist, and who can or cannot have a gathering; and they are using schools as their churches. The only way to not see it is to not desire to see it.
When the evil one comes, I'm not convinced you won't bend the knee due to your soft stances considering Christianity and Nihilism.
I personally will take on Obama, Trump, Biden, Bush, the world, etc if they demand I renounce my faith and volunteer to bow to anyone or anything. I'd be defiant to the end. I'd prefer death. Can you say the same? Only you would know.
There are more than just two schools of thought. I'm Independent. I think both Rep and Dem have good points and idea's just as I think they have terrible one's. I don't blindly vote for any certain party.
You hate Trump
Too strong a word for what I feel on Trump. I think he's a man baby that is more interested in himself than the country. I think the fact that his followers can't ever seem to find fault in him is both ludicrous and dangerous as they would NEVER have excused it for any Dem pres. I think Trump needs to stay off the golf course and off Twitter and actually try to RUN this country without only thinking about his personal gain and ego. He's a petulant toddler whining every time someone says one bad thing about him.

So put the statues in a museum. There doesn't need to be public memorials dedicated to generals that fought FOR slavery. Our country is STILL trying to heal.
what words can be said, who can say what on social media, who can act in Hollywood
In part, I agree with you. There are some words that you shouldn't say, simple as that. But, hiding a police dog in a kids show is incredibly stupid. Police aren't the enemy, ignorance and extremism is.
I personally will take on Obama, Trump, Biden, Bush, the world, etc if they demand I renounce my faith and volunteer to bow to anyone or anything.
How noble of you. Except. Not a damn person is demanding you renounce your faith. Not a damn person is demanding you bow to anyone else or anything else. What IS being asked of you is tolerance and the realization that people still have to fight against inequality every day, sometimes at the cost of their lives.
"The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you."
- Paul Graham
I'm anti Bush and pro Trump, have voted across party lines, and have went after ardent RINOs while being registered as an Independent. I am indifferent on politics concerning drug laws and gay marriage. Tell me what you theorize that I label myself as. If you cannot, it's probably because neither can I.
Strawman. That's like saying "why is putting sugar in cookies bad?" when the main claim was that you put poison in the cookie.
In this case, the Senate was spied on, and the next administration was spied on. And then the supposedly "hacked" DNC server was never even looked at by the FBI according to the FBI.
Your post linked to an article based on the ProPublica story that:
"In mid-2012, Justice Department lawyers wrote two secret memos permitting the spy agency to begin hunting on Internet cables, without a warrant and on American soil, for data linked to computer intrusions originating abroad"
Sure you did. You asked "why is surveillance of foreign hacking bad" (a strawman) when the claims were surveillance not related to foreign hacking but to spying on the Senate and on incoming Presidential team members. Both of which you are still ignoring and either are uncomfortable addressing or cannot figure out how to address.
CIA admits it broke into Senate computers; senators call for spy chief’s ouster
An internal CIA investigation confirmed allegations that agency personnel improperly intruded into a protected database used by Senate Intelligence Committee staff to compile a scathing report on the agency’s detention and interrogation program, prompting bipartisan outrage and at least two calls for spy chief John Brennan to resign.
“I have no choice but to call for the resignation of CIA Director John Brennan,” Udall said in a statement. “The CIA unconstitutionally spied on Congress by hacking into Senate Intelligence Committee computers. This grave misconduct not only is illegal, but it violates the U.S. Constitution’s requirement of separation of powers. These offenses, along with other errors in judgment by some at the CIA, demonstrate a tremendous failure of leadership, and there must be consequences.”
Another committee member, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and some civil rights groups called for a fuller investigation. The demands clashed with a desire by President Barack Obama, other lawmakers and the CIA to move beyond the controversy over the “enhanced interrogation program” after Feinstein releases her committee’s report, which could come as soon as next week
Many members demanded that Brennan explain his earlier denial that the CIA had accessed the Senate committee database.
“Director Brennan should make a very public explanation and correction of what he said,” said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. He all but accused the Justice Department of a coverup by deciding not to pursue a criminal investigation into the CIA’s intrusion.
From my earlier link to the OIG report: an attorney at the Agency's Office of General Counsel who thought the Senate had inappropriately obtained privileged information.
Brennan had the claim investigated, admitted it happened, and apologized to the Senate.

Lmfao.
The General Counsel is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, a requirement added in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997.
Lol. Shut up hypocrite. It disputes your double standards and your irrationality. Anybody nominated by Obama connected to anything good and Obama is responsible. Anybody nominated by Obama connected to anything bad and Obama is not responsible. That's your bullshit summed up in a nutshell. And his bullshit is the exact same bullshit, only with the other party. You're both a couple of numpties.
One is a policy decision where Obama's position was clear, was advocated for by himself and his AG, and was likely a consideration of their appointment.
The other was a technocratic decision that was an understandable mistake which was made public and apologized for.
Only you could think the level of credit/blame would be the same between the two.
Look you mad hag, I'm really not interested in you inventing false differences to explain your completely irrational double standards. Last night the people who were appointed by Obama were responsible for the policy decisions of a bipartisan judging panel. Tonight they have nothing to do with the policy decisions of the CIA. You're a ridiculously infantile partisan lunatic and those are simply the facts.
The quote: "The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you." - doesn't mention political parties, and his statement on the topic also discusses religious labels, etc.
Evangelicals can see no wrong .... unless it has to do with a woman's rights ... or a democratic country that has freedom of religion rather than forced Christianity. Some of them will say that's not true, but, INSIST on changing the Constitution to follow Biblical rules. Somehow THAT translates to "freedom of religion" to them. And John Trump is the man to give it to them. A "free country" ... as long as you believe in Jesus! Not what the founding fathers had in mind, but then, NONE of them thought like John the Adulterer. He is SOOOO holy one can see right through him ... unless you are a worshiper of HIM.
No. We see you burning down your own cities and destroying the businesses of poor black people while screaming at Republicans who aren't in your liberal cities.
To bad the Corona wasn't in full swing when that picture was taken.
All while leftists are rioting and looting and attacking people and destroying minority homes and businesses as if the virus went on time out and destroying your own cities makes sense because you are geniuses.
OMG! Is that you?? Is it REALLY you?? Can I lay my hands upon your graciousness?
Muslims do the same practice with their leaders. By leftisms standards, this is Islamophobia. Even worse, THIS is the worst you have on him? Your party wants the police abolished, for whites to bow to blacks on their knees, and is destroying minority neighborhoods and businesses. ROTFL
Muslims aren't worshipping someone by praying over them and laying on of hands. Did you just accuse Muslims of idolotry? Wow, your white privilege and mockery of Muslims is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe how much of a Nazi Fascist white privileged cisgendered bourgeois you are.
I find it odd that you claim to have been raised Jewish but don't know what the laying on of hands in prayer is.
The laying on of hands is a religious practice. In Judaism semikhah (Hebrew: סמיכה, "leaning [of the hands]") accompanies the conferring of a blessing or authority.
In Christian churches, this practice is used as both a symbolic and formal method of invoking the Holy Spirit primarily during baptisms and confirmations, healing services, blessings, and ordination of priests, ministers, elders, deacons, and other church officers, along with a variety of other church sacraments and holy ceremonies.
