Your hyperbole is hilarious, but humor does not the truth make.
Oh, and god doesn't matter. This is a government, not a church. Got that?
Why is it that you hyperbolize liberals as wanting to control what everyone thinks, while you champion a book that does explicitly that? Have you ever READ the bible? It is FULL of perscriptions for a faithfull life. Have you heard of the 10 COMMANDMENTS? They are called COMMANDMENTS because god intends them to CONTROL your life by COMMANDING you to live a certain way. But god gave us free will, you say? What a nice guy! The irony is palpable, dude.
"As a public official, he should not give first allegiance to the Code of Canon Law that bans abortion."
So you are going to dictate one's faith and belief?
DUUUUUHHHHHHH! Why is this so hard to understand? This public official is giving first alleigance to the laws of a soverign nation other than the USA. That has nothing to do with religion. It is only that you are so arrogant as to preclude your duties in any capacity with your religous beleifs. I'll bet if it was Russia and not the Vatican, you would be ready to try him for treason.
What if I start a church that denies the humanity of the followers of christ? Can I then infringe on your civil liberties by preventing you from having children so that you would not be able to procreate and spread christianity? Would that be a valid excercise of my rights to personal faiths and beleifs, or should I be required to keep my faiths and beleifs from infringing on the civil rights of others?
HINT: It's the same reason why the the Puritans came here in the first place.
You are trying to make this into an attack on religion, but it is not. The Lord does not look kindly on those who fein injury to gain sympathy.
John B,
Those that are "malleable" would more accurately describe those foolish enough to vote for the illegalization of "evil marijuana", who then wondered why the man was taking away their hemp. Hemp won the first world war, and had to be "re-legalized" (for the govenment only, of course) to win the second. Do some research before you insult, lest your insults turn out to be directed at you.

People are sick of ACORN and man/boy Jennings. They are tired of killing unborn children just days before their birth and calling it women's rights. They are tired of every other person in the white house being a flaming homo. They are tired of people worshipping the dead debaucherer ted Kennedy. Only 20% of Americans consider themselves liberals that means 80% oppose these idiots. Sexual deviance,child killing and man/boy love just don't fly with everyday Americans. Sorry liberals, you ought to move to France where the liberals rule and the country is in complete shambles.

More diatriabe on anti-church, Aura?!
Aura wrote: "As a public official, he should not give first allegiance to the Code of Canon Law that bans abortion."
So you are going to dictate one's faith and belief?
Furthermore, you state, "The world needs population regulation. There are too many consumers, eating up irreplaceable natural resources."
Is it possible that you are so selfish and arrogant as to think that you need and deserve MORE natural resources than another to the extent that your so convicted as to deny another their opportunity at life?
Perhaps we should "Cull the herd". Let's start WWIII . . . Fire-up the Auschwitz ovens!
Hey, let's take it a step further and create Aura's version of a utopian society where God no longer matters. That way we will no longer feel shame, guilt and remorse when we perform drive through partial birth abortions. Or create a mandatory sterilization if you come from a family that historically, over generations, earned less than 200% less than the Federal Poverty Level. In fact, let's save Medicare/Medicaid and associated tax dollars by sending the old, young, and infirm to the oven. That form of "global warming and pollution" would be a necessary evil since the long term benefits would outweight the short term costs.
And while we're at it, let's decide what everyone should/can think and what they are allowed to believe. While were at it, let's put a cap and trade on what resources you can use.
This is the panacea for liberals . . . all in the sake of conserving natural resources and generating more tax revenue. Come to think of it, this approach is nothing new. It was called National Socialism and was totalitarian in character and aimed to control all politics, economy, social relationships, and thought. It became affectionately known to the world as Nazism and it started 76 short years ago in 1933.
The new liberal refrain will likely be a translated version of "Arbeit Macht Frei!"

Like millions of Americans, Christie, a Roman Catholic, is a faithful servant of a foreign king, the pope. As citizens, that's their Constitutional right. As a public official, he should not give first allegiance to the Code of Canon Law that bans abortion. In 1973, the Supreme Court made our civil government stop enforcing church law that bans abortion. In l972, the Court repealed a law that made it a crime to sell contraceptives even to married couples. It's amazing that Americans tolerated for so long those destructive church laws that exist to force women to produce ongoing generations of tithers. The world needs population regulation. There are too many consumers, eating up irreplaceable natural resources. Taxes are much higher than need be, because we're forced to subsidize poor unwed moms & big religious families who refuse to use birth control and abortion. The major work of paid preachers is to create, keep and increase church income. They tell believers to have contempt for "materialistic earthly goods." but there's a price attached to every religious rite. Voters must have self-respect & not elect anyone who endorses compulsory parenthood.

They will ,in increasing numbers-becoming a stampede when he starts to draft their kids for his Nation Building agenda on the African continent.Leading up to the mid term elections look for his deft slight of hand such as pot legalization for those that are malleable.
