If an super qualified Asian American run would you vote for him?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

So how is it that you can be abusive to your wives, do a tremendous amount of cocaine, frequent a ton of prostitutes, and still be on television and make money. You remember when they kicked him off of 2 and a half men for drug abuse? Did he go to jail? Nope, he went on tour and bragged about all his bad habits and got paid for it. Robert Downey Jr went through the same thing, but you see where he is now. People ban together for different sorts of reasons.

Why is it so hard for you to understand that black folks voted for Obama because they liked him, not because of his skin color?

You know that Blacks were openly ecstatic that a black was elected President, because he was black. ( If he is truly Black but that is for another argument) . It's absurd to try and say otherwise. Yes I agree that they would have vote for most any Democrat, However the excitement and very open statements about backing a Black Man were rampant.

Also absurd is tryign to compare Marion B to some actor that got kicked off a show is absurd. Do you really think a vast majority of white people would vote to put Charlie S in Government,

If you want a better example Vs Marion Berry use---- not one conservative holding Rush L to the same standard when he was discovered abusing and buying Pain Killers on the black market. Much better example.... Your welcome. You normaly are much better on point that that weak example. I am not going to keep arguring your side of the argument for you also, but was glad to help out. :P

The goal is not to be obvious, yet still trap your prey. Think of it as fishing for big mouth bass.

Better to be the hunter than the prey, I always say. Your young padawan will learn.

I don't like being coy, any opponent I face I want it to be fair and square, that way if I beat you, it's because I was right, not because I'm better.

Of course we were, it's the first time in history that a black man was elected president, when I was growing up we were told straight up, you can be anything you want to be, except President. So it's a good thing that we were making progress in America, we still have a long way to go. Of course he is truly black, according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_drop_rule.

I think if you are popular enough, you can go far no matter what your background is. Marion B won not because he smoked crack and was black, he won because the woman he ran against had all but destroyed DC. The rational was he was better than the alternative. Look at Arnold, an actor from Austria, he was on tape smoking weed and talking about it, yet he ran for Governor and got elected twice. And the Republicans went as far as trying to amend the Constitution so he could run for president. Yet we put Obama through hell for his birth cert.

I just woke and start posting, I hadn't eaten my wheaties yet, I'll promise to be more on point for ya

You will never be a politician, or a used car salesman.

Yeah I know, I wanted to be a lawyer when I was younger, but I was told I can't fight dirty so what's the point

I am learning that Racial slurs, stereotypes, and Blatant Racist statements are really ok with you Liberal moonbats. as long as they are not aimed at AA or Muslims.

This thread would be banned and people suspended if it where about African Americans instead of Asians..

I am shocked at the openly Racist jokes.

Just goes to show What blatant hypocrites most people are.

Amazing simply Amazing!

Fixed that. There's plenty of racism against Muslims here. Besides, what most don't realize is that most Muslims are Asian, so I'd vote for a qualified Asian Muslim any day.

Terrorism in the Philippines

Terrorism in the Philippines[1] are conflicts based on political issues conducted by rebel organizations against the Philippine government, its citizens and supporters. Most terrorism in the country are conducted by Islamic terrorist groups. The most active terrorist groups in the Philippines are the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, Moro National Liberation Front, Abu Sayyaf,[2] Rajah Sulaiman Movement[3] and Jemaah Islamiyah.

Since January 2000 radical Islamist groups and Islamist separatist forces in the Philippines have carried out over 40 major bombings against civilians and civilian property, mostly in the southern regions of the country around Mindanao, Basilan, Jolo and other nearby islands.[4] Numerous bombings have also been carried out in and around Metro Manila, though several hundred kilometres from the conflict in the southern regions, due to its political importance. In the period from 2000 to 2007 attacks killed nearly 400 Filipino civilians and injured well over one thousand five hundred more,[5] more casualties than caused by bombings and other attacks in Indonesia, Morocco, Spain, Turkey, or Britain during the same period.[4]

Public transport and other gathering places, such as street markets, have been the favoured bombing targets, however large-scale abductions and shootings have also been carried out by the groups, predominantly by the Abu Sayyaf the Rajah Solaiman Movement, two groups that had claimed responsibility for most of the attacks.[5]

For brevity, the definition of terrorism used is drawn from the United Nations General Assembly condemnation of "Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them."[6] is used.

The apologies of Blessed John Paul II

by Jbf on November 16, 2012 in Spirituality

A Wikiepedia list of apologies made by Blessed John Paul is currently receiving a lot of attention in the blogosphere.

Pope John Paul II made many apologies. During his long reign as Pope, he apologized to Jews, Galileo, women, victims of the Inquisition, Muslimsslaughtered by the Crusaders and almost everyone who had suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church through the years.[1] Even before he became the Pope, he was a prominent editor and supporter of initiatives like the Letter of Reconciliation of the Polish Bishops to the German Bishops from 1965. As Pope, he officially made public apologies for over 100 of these wrongdoings, including:

The conquest of Mesoamerica by Spain in the name of the Church

The legal process on the Italian scientist and philosopher Galileo Galilei, himself a devout Catholic, around 1633 (31 October 1992).

Catholics’ involvement with the African slave trade (9 August 1993).

The Church’s role in burnings at the stake and the religious wars that followed the Protestant Reformation (May 1995, in the Czech Republic).

The injustices committed against women, the violation of women’s rights and for the historical denigration of women (10 July 1995, in a letter to “every woman”).

The inactivity and silence of many Catholics during the Holocaust (16 March 1998)

For the execution of Jan Hus in 1415 (18 December 1999 in Prague). When John Paul II visited Prague in 1990s, he requested experts in this matter “to define with greater clarity the position held by Jan Hus among the Church’s reformers, and acknowledged that “independently of the theological convictions he defended, Hus cannot be denied integrity in his personal life and commitment to the nation’s moral education.” It was another step in building a bridge between Catholics and Protestants.

For the sins of Catholics throughout the ages for violating “the rights of ethnic groups and peoples, and [for showing] contempt for their cultures and religious traditions”. (12 March 2000, during a public Mass of Pardons).

For the sins of the Crusader attack on Constantinople in 1204. (4 May 2001, to the Patriarch of Constantinople).

On 20 November 2001, from a laptop in the Vatican, Pope John Paul II sent his first e-mail apologising for the Catholic sex abuse cases, the Church-backed “Stolen Generations” of Aboriginal children in Australia, and to China for the behaviour of Catholic missionaries in colonial times.

That's the short list.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

That's the short list.

The history of atrocities committed in the name of the Church in the Philippines is a long list, and continues to get longer. What is even more interesting, is that Filipinos are among the most devout followers in the world of Christianity, yet have this love/hate relationship with the Church Hierarchy. Liberation Theology is preached by the indigenous clergy, while the Anglo clergy teaches quite another more docile message to their flocks.

Priest running for Masbate governor is betraying his spiritual calling – bishops

MANILA, Philippines — Some members of the Catholic Church hierarchy were not impressed with a priest running for governor in Masbate in the 2013 midterm elections, calling it a betrayal of his “spiritual calling.”

The prelates of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) also reiterated on Wednesday that the laity, not the clergy, should engage in politics. But, at the same time, they admitted that some priests were thrust into the political arena under “exceptional situations.”

“It’s a betrayal of commitment and obligation,” said Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz. “When a priest is ordained and he accepts his obligations for his whole life, it’s a pity if these obligations he will betray in favor of something else.”

Fr. Leo Casas is set to make his bid for governor official on Friday under the administration’s Liberal Party. He will go against the established political dynasties in the province. Some prelates earlier said that he could lose his clerical ministry or removed from the priesthood if he pursued his political plans.

Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes shared the view, on Wednesday, that priests entering politics would be a “betrayal of spiritual calling.” “Perhaps, because of exceptional situations like in Masbate, the priest thinks he can enter politics.”

But from previous experience, a priest-politician did not always succeed in the end, he noted. “That’s why the Church forbids the clergy from engaging in partisan politics.”

Priests are drawn to seek government office especially when the political sector is handicapped, according to Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles.

“I am not in favor of any priest becoming a politician. But the Church does not lose anything when a priest turns into a politician. God remains complete and his work of saving man does not wane,” he added.

“It is the political sector that appears handicapped [so] it has to bring in clerics for lack of competent and reliable people,” said the prelate.

This is one of the reasons why the Catholic Church will within a decade or two be relocating the Head quarters of the Roman Catholic Church to Africa of S. America.

They are telling the Filipinos to make even more babies so that more people can squat in squalor, and the Anglo clergy continues to molest young boys, live in expensive houses, and drive nice cars.

The Catholic Church does that in all 3rd world countries in hopes of making more little Catholics. TBH I'm no fan of the Catholic Church. Pope John Paul was another dirty Pope in a long line. He supported right wing death squads in El Salvador just to name a few of his accomplishments. But on the other hand I have a few friends with houses and/or condo's in the Philippines and Iv'e heard their stories about going into shopping malls after they go through heavy security. Having children is a choice, being blown up into little pieces by some mad hatter Muslim bomber isn't a choice. There is an obvious difference. It's the same with being kidnapped by Muslims over there and starved in the jungle until they decide to make you get on your knees with your hands tied behind your back right before they chop your head off with a machete. Again I'm sure you can see the difference.
