Drug war and drug prohibition. This is, probably, by far the biggest.

Death penalty. Though, that might, actually go with a whimper.

"Social" does not mean "sexual", you know.

Well 'social' is quite a broad category. Couldnt you argue "poverty", "inequality" and other such large concepts are also "social issues"?

True. But the Congress or the Supreme Court banning poverty would not do anything to eliminate it.

My question is would you rather deal with me or ISIS?

An interesting question, indeed.

Would it shock the LGBT folks on this site that ISIS wants me dead (Because I follow the Nazarene) as much as they want you to be dead (for being LGBT)? They want to defenestrate you and behead/crucify me.



I must say, I find your posts extraordinarily amusing. Pray continue Smiley

That tends to be what people mean by it though. 

Insofar as the drug war and/or the death penalty becomes a focus of attention, you can see a lot of working together across normal ideological lines.  Liberals, libertarians and even religious conservatives

Only until it becomes a partisan issue.

Re-educating those religious individuals among us who spread bigotry and hate.

So you want forced re-education of all Bible believing Christians? That basically means you want a genocide of Bible Believing Christians. You are seeking revenge and that is a stain on your position.

you believe all bible-believing christians spread bigotry and hate? i'mma have to report you for this piece of vicious anti-christian rhetoric

I should report you for slander but that's not how I do things. I'm the Bible Believing Christian here and I am not ashamed of that.

Part of showing Christian love is telling the truth. If you've read the Bible at any length there are very strong admonitions against homosexuality. I have no hate or bad will towards gay people. My question is would you rather deal with me or ISIS?

you saw a post about people who spread bigotry and hate and automatically assumed this meant "bible believing christians". why do you hate christians?

He looks inside his soul, obviously Smiley

Marijuana is a niche issue. There might be victories there, but it's also not a civil rights issue and any victories will be done via legislation, not the courts.


It is NOT a niche issue. It is not merely the consumers (and producers) who care. The war on drugs has been having a humongous impact all around.
