Christian Leader Calls for Glenn Beck Boycott

[callmeslick]

now, let's get back to original, very shaky, point?? Where was Church and State separation threatened here?
Further, what part of free speech don't you get, to infer that the good Reverend cannot call for a boycott?
Say what you will about the good people of El Paso, I'll bet the average reader of the El Paso times grasps this nation's Constitution far better than you do, Pud.

I love how you seem to know what the readers of El Paso think. You ever even been there? Jeezus christ d00d, you're really coming off douchier than Res Douche, which takes some actual effort.....................

[Pudfark]

The "original point" was posed as a question(s)....The part about separation of church and state, I would like to talk about it...
This is my thinking on it...I think that the government does a pretty good job at staying out of the churches business and or commenting about church business or interfering with it....especially, not taxing it..... I think the church, should mind it's own business, the business of God and stay out of political things....or pay taxes and lose the separation thingy....So, bluntly, the church commenting on politics has the appearance of reneging on the deal....hence, the question of "separation"...those are just my thoughts...

I'm sure the folks in El Paso is mighty nice....and some of them is bi-lingual...and that gasping/grasping of the constitution...oh, they gets it every day...with all them illegals there and no enforcement of the constitution...all the drug induced violence in their backyard...Have you ever been to El Paso...I have, Ft. Bliss also...My old daddy used to be the Top Cop at Ft.Bliss....oh, and don't confuse Ft. Bliss with El Paso as they is two separate entities....

It do tickle me Slick...when ya tease me...about not knowing nothing about the constitution....I dealt with it every working day of my life....though, I didn't get to see it under a microscope in an airconditioned sterile enviornment....That's probably why we differ...so much.

I read the El Paso Times regularly. My nephew was stationed nearby a while back, as were a couple of other family friends. The explanation is above as to why I keep reading it to stay informed. You really have a bug up your ass, and it's making you look like a moron, Ruggie. They have a poll of their readers on the issue,
I merely reported the current poll results. Geez, you're dense. Try reading a little more closely, dude.

fair enough. But, look closely. The complaint wasn't about politics, it was about Beck's comment that the churches were espousing communism by using a certain set of words. Yes, it was stupid, but had nothing to do with actual government at all. Here, I'll help you out.....the article you cited stated the following:
"the Fox News personality told his audience that "social justice," the term many churches use to describe their efforts to address poverty and human rights, is a "code word" for communism and Nazism" Find me where Beck's comment touches on real government, in any way. It is merely babblement about use of words, not to mention a clear demonstration of a man who can't grasp simple English, or the concept of plurals, when he states that 'social justice' is a code-word(singular).....

I'm sure the folks in El Paso is mighty nice....and some of them is bi-lingual...and that gasping/grasping of the constitution...oh, they gets it every day...with all them illegals there and no enforcement of the constitution...all the drug induced violence in their backyard...Have you ever been to El Paso...I have, Ft.

is your Old Daddy different from your New Daddy? Anyhoo......I don't confuse Bliss with the city, but the EPT reports heavily on the Bliss troops and very much reflects and serves the military community. Yes, I have visited the region, by the way.

in the sense that you, as a law officer, had to respect the constitution to do your job, you are right.
Clearly, from what you write, you don't grasp what it means at all. Not teasing you, but pointing out a sad fact. You aren't alone, lots of Americans these days have no clue about the Constitution. I'm sure as hell no legal scholar, but did pay attention in Civics class, and in Political Science class.

This is where, we are differing on our opinions...To me, communism is politics and that set of certain words, reflects it...and communism is in our government..."Van Jones" for example...Seems, like we are going to have to disagree on this one....

I glad you went to school Slick..and sorta glad you paid some attention..and I'm glad you have been given/taken the opportunity to talk about it....It's sad in your life time, thus far, that you have not applied it too or for anyone else, other than yourself...If you had, your perception would be a lot different....The constitution is a simple document written in simple language...so regular folks could understand it....It only becomes a complicated document, when crooked bastards try to "loop hole" it... I don't think you like "crooked bastards" anymore than I do.

communism is an economic system, more so than a political one. Still, my point is that it isn't veering into politics to question Beck's definition of words, is it? That would go right to the heart of Freedom of Speech.

and the Constitution was changed since then? Nobody told me.
You're getting to be a moron, ruggie. I attribute it to medication, out of hope for you.....

America's system...has been alive...alot longer than the "Communist System"..if fact, most of the commies systems don't exist anymore...Why folks keep wanting to try that system is really strange to me? It does not work..pun intended. Totalitarian Rule does work...no pun. Let's see, under which system? American or Communism ? Is totalitarian rule more likely to occur? It's like playing with fire...and thinking you'll never get burned....History is full of burn victims who played with the fire...or ignored it.

Well, Free Speech...isn't always free...folks can't go around inciting a breach of the peace or slandering others...When the churches start fomenting boycotts and political policy, IMHO they have crossed the line....If they lke the "separation" thingy...then, they must honor their end of the bargain....sorta like, the beef stew goes in one pot and the bannana pudding in the other....yeah, you can mix'em together and cook'em at the same time, in the same pot....and you'll find, nobody at the table......or somebody new in the kitchen....

Slick, I offer you the last words on this subject....
