That's what Sharron Angle, the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate, said in an April 21 interview with TruNews Christian Radio's Rick Wiles. I have obtained audio of the interview, previously unnoticed, which contains some startling rhetoric from the candidate who has said running for office was a calling from God. But in this interview, she goes much further:
"And these programs that you mentioned -- that Obama has going with Reid and Pelosi pushing them forward -- are all entitlement programs built to make government our God. And that’s really what’s happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We’re supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government."
This mindset will further reinforce to some that religion infuses everything Angle believes but also might explain her hostility to government programs, believing essentially they are produced by a false God. And she frames the race as one she has been praying over for some time, a war of ideologies and faith: "And I knew that all along when I started praying over a year ago over it. And this just seemed to be the battle that I needed to go to war with. And I need warriors to stand beside me. You know, this is a war of ideology, a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust, not hope and change."
There is more.
Transcripts are below. Audio is at right.
Angle: As believers we know that we have to lean on the Lord daily. And I’ll tell you in this political walk that I’m walking… and I think it is a calling that God has on my life. I have watched him walk with me through politics and help me to see the pitfalls of the political machinery, the seduction of the Party, and even those outside the Party: the lobbyists – all of that to say that the Lord shows me daily where he wants me to walk. And I think that’s what he always wants from us, is not to worry about tomorrow or what is past yesterday, but just take the troubles of the day and work through them with Him. My husband and I pray every morning together, and what we pray is that the Lord would order our day according to His will, not our own. We all have plans, but at the end of the day we need to be content with that thought that God has ordered this day and that he will work it to get it for our good according to Romans 8:28. And also those things in the Old Testament where he says the world means it for bad, but God means it for good.
Wiles: Sharron, why did you get in the race to defeat the biggest Democrat in the U.S. Senate, the majority leader of the entire Senate? Why did you get into this race?
Angle: We’re at war in this country – for our freedom, our culture, for our liberty, our Constitution, and we need a true, battle-tested, proven, Constitutional conservative to take out Harry Reid. It isn’t just about anybody but Harry. Harry is a consummate politician. He reinvents himself at each one of his elections as a conservative. And he has a record that works on both sides of the issue. So, we needed someone who can run to the right and stay to the right of this fellow. When he says that he’s voted seven times against partial-birth abortion, we need someone who can say, “And I have a better pro-life record than you, Harry Reid, and we don’t like the way you confirm our Supreme Court judges, who are all pro-choice. And we all know that the battle has been in the Supreme Court all along for life.” The same thing stands for those who love our Second Amendment. Harry Reid now has the NRA saying, “Thank Harry Reid for all his pro-gun votes.” Well, I have the GOA endorsement and we know that once again those Supreme Court judges would take away our right to keep and bear arms. I’m the only one in this race with a battle-tested, proven, Conservative record that I can stand on. The rest of them fall out in this area fighting Harry Reid. And I knew that all along when I started praying over a year ago over it. And this just seemed to be the battle that I needed to go to war with. And I need warriors to stand beside me. You know, this is a war of ideology, a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust, not hope and change.
Wiles: Then I saw the report the other day that 47 percent of the American public will pay no income tax in this country this year. This explains the divide.
Angle: Yes.
Wiles: Half of the country is working to produce and pay the taxes and pay the bills, the other half is living off the taxpayers -- they’re living off the other 51 percent.
Angle: We’re right to that point in the graph where it says, “government dependency.” And we know that once we have a majority that are dependent upon the government, we will lose our freedom; it says we go into bondage. That’s the next stage. Our Founders warned against this. They said don’t… that your liberty is only as secure as the people are. Because once they, um, get the ability to vote themselves entitlements from the largesse of the government, liberty is done; freedom is over with. We were warned. We are there. We’re right on the cusp of it, and you’ve identified those numbers. That’s the war that we’re in. You know, when I talk about a war and a battle and soldiers we have to take up our…our cry for freedom. And we can do it right now at the battle box… I mean at the ballot box. I’m not sure what continues on after 2010. I know people are very frightened about what’s going on in this country. And these programs that you mentioned -- that Obama has going with Reid and Pelosi pushing them forward -- are all entitlement programs built to make government our God. And that’s really what’s happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We’re supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government. And you’ve just identified the real crux of the problem. I’ve also been endorsed by a PAC out of Washington D.C. and the name of that PAC is Government is not God. And I thought that that was so appropriate because that is really what’s happening in our society and we need to take our country back.
Holy crap. Literally. And to think this religious freakazoid actually has a chance to be our next senator. To know she's unfit for office is to simply look at the vague, distant expression on her face.
Anyone but Angle.
"Half of the country is working to produce and pay the taxes and pay the bills, the other half is living off the taxpayers -- they're living off the other 51 percent."
Actually, half of the people in this country don't make enough money to exceed the standard deduction and exemptions, because they're poor. They still pay 7.65% of every dollar earned into FICA, and they still pay sales taxes, and excise taxes on their gasoline and utility bills, but they don't have enough income to trigger payment of the income tax. Of course, if you're one of those people who hates the poor, whether they're white, black, Mexican, Asian, or plaid, it's real easy to claim they're "living off the other 51 percent."
"Blessed are the poor; for they shall inherit the earth." -- Jesus of Nazareth
Please tell me this is an article from The Onion. Because I really don't want to believe this. I mean, is she really that weird? And are there people who actually believe this lady is U.S. Senator material?
This is absolutely frightening. She's a nut case.
Sorry but nothing is startling from this lunatic.
Latest Reuters/Ipsos poll:
"Among voters who said they are likely to vote, Reid held a 48-44 percent lead over Republican challenger Sharron Angle, much narrower than the 52-36 percent edge he had over her among registered voters."
The point is, we need to mobilize Democrats to vote. If we do, she is a goner, no problem. With polling like this and noting how much she has fallen, the GOP will probably minimize their losses and her money will dry up. Even John Cornyn is distancing himself from her now.
Angle needs to see a doctor. Except, that would violate the 1st Commandment. Her god(s) will cure her. Someday, maybe.
She's just lucky we have the 1st Amendment!
Oh, sorry, that also violates the 1st Commandment. God will protect her freedom of speech.
Oh, yeah, and that's not idolatry.
WTF?
"He [Harry Reid] reinvents himself at each one of his elections as a conservative. And he has a record that works on both sides of the issue."
So Sharron Angle is saying that Harry Reid is a centrist, not a radical liberal?
"So, we needed someone who can run to the right and stay to the right of this fellow."
Wouldn't any Republican stay to the right of a Democrat?
"...and we don't like the way you confirm our Supreme Court judges, who are all pro-choice."
All pro-choice? I'm sure Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, etc. might disagree with that.
"The same thing stands for those who love our Second Amendment. Harry Reid now has the NRA saying, 'Thank Harry Reid for all his pro-gun votes.' Well, I have the GOA endorsement and we know that once again those Supreme Court judges would take away our right to keep and bear arms."
So the NRA and GOA disagree on gun rights. Sounds political to me. And yeah, those conservative justices are just waiting to gut the Constitution.
"We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government."
Besides the grammatical incoherence of that statement, candidate Angle's view is that God will protect us? Doesn't God help those who help themselves? Is she espousing no military and no police?
@BobbyG, we do CARE about her religious views because if she gets elected, she's going to push those onto all of us who disagree with her. She seems to misunderstand the First Amendment.
Apparently to Angle, freedom of religion means you're free to choose from a Christian religion. All the Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist, Scientologists, etc. who don't believe in the Ten Commandments and don't want this pushed on to them don't matter.
psycho sharron!!!
hee hee hee!!!
hoo hoo hoo!!!
haa haa haa!!!
First on one leg (with one opinion) and then standing on the other leg (with another opinion) Angle has simply joined the ranks of many other offensive, scratching and spitting politicians that is infatuated with her own voice - and those in her head.
Well said, Siromega!!
I swear to god, I've lived here for 16 years and I cannot believe the whack jobs that this state continually puts in office. Nothing short of amazing. Gibbons, Ensign, Saitta (you could include 90 percent of the judges). We have got to be number 50, hands down, on the smartest state list.
The more we learn about Psycho Sharron the scarier she gets. Right now she's in Hannibal Lecter territory -- next she joins the Manson family.
Yikes!
Reid's goal was to portray her as an extremist and with Ralston's help, people are buying in. Again, while I'm not a fan of Angle (none of the above), I just can't get over how Ralston is so biased in this race. As Ralston continues on this mission he is losing credibility and respect. Which is a shame because he used to be respected in this town. And now he's just seen as a biased hack working on behalf of his party and his own views.
Jon Ralston = Keith Olberman
Oh. And that's NOT a compliment.
jke1717 -
I don't think Harry Reid needs any help from Jon Ralston for people to see just how much of a nutjob Sharron Angle is. Her extreme views and fantasy island speak for itself.
She definitely has my vote and alot of others I know feel the same....Funny how the Sun always runs whatever they want on Angle to try to make her look so evil and crazy-- but Harry can do no wrong...hmmmm
Angle provides the ammunition for Ralston. Anyone with half a brain would appear biased against this nutjob!
Hey, jke? All Ralston did was show you the FACTS. the FACTS are her statements, complete and without edit. Stop trying to pass off Angle's responsibility for her remarks on Ralston's profession.
rationalize to absurdity ; it's the right not the left thats totally out there.
Hey mick? If you think what Sharon Angle said was evil and crazy, why vote for her?
When my granddaughter told me the washer was running over and 'foaming all over the kitchen,' I just could not bring myself to beating her.
Why blame Mr. Ralston for bringing us word of comments by our erstwhile would-be Junior Senator?
If the words that fell from her mouth are so disturbing that they make us run for the hills and hold our nose to vote or just walk away pissed, how in the world is Mr. Ralston in any way to be admonished for taking notes and sharing the incredible disrobing of her shocking thoughts about how things are?
It's bad enough that we got her, but why whack poor ol Jon for tellin it like it is?
Is it infectious, this Angle dementia thing?
CJJames- I most definitely do not think she is evil and crazy- maybe you should try to read my post the right way-"Funny how the Sun always runs whatever they want on Angle to try to make her look so evil and crazy".... they try to make her sound that way- and clearly alot of people like her- so Ralston and the Sun can just keep hurting their reputation as "reporters of the news"-- more like personal opinions
Angle: "We're at war in this country -- for our freedom, our culture, for our liberty, our Constitution, and we need a true, battle-tested, proven, Constitutional conservative to take out Harry Reid. It isn't just about anybody but Harry. Harry is a consummate politician."
I cut and pasted to highlight Angle's extreme and dangerous rhetoric in case any of her supporters missed it. Someone who believes she is literally at war with other American citizens and advocates armed force against Reid is unqualified for the U.s. Senate.
mick -
No one needs to make Angle "look so evil and crazy" -- she does it herself with her own words on TV and radio. She does a pretty good job of making herself look bad.
mick must be Planet Tea Party, where all that horrible reality with the "liberal bias" is never allowed. These are SHARRON ANGLE'S OWN WORDS! She said them herself, no one forced her to. I thought she was a big believer in The Constitution, but I guess she never read Article I, Section 8 very closely. Here's how it starts:
"The Congress shall have power To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
Funny how it does NOT say anything about God commanding us to "depend upon God and not government"...
oh that's right, if we don't believe everything we read, we must be wrong- how silly of me. Anyway clearly its a dead heat and Harry isn't running away with anything. Unlike the rest of you, I will go to work now and not sit here all day chatting about how much knowledge you have or think you have-- enjoy!
Sharon says the Supreme Court will take away her 2nd amendment rights, I guess she is so busy campaigning to notice the recent Supreme Court decisions upholding the 2nd amendment. Yes, Obama has appointed two judges and yes, a democratic controlled congress will approve but there is still a conservative majority on the Court.
@Mick. I'm with you. I don't agree with a lot that Angle has to say and yes, she has some "unique" views but I guess my rants are more about Ralston as a reporter/journalist. Why doesn't he show both sides of this race? It has been Reid's whole mission to pass her off as a nutjob and Ralston is right on board. It's not objective whatsoever. Ralston used to be a good reporter and well respected but he's now just seen as a hack with a personal agenda. Every article is slanted. He is taking it upon himself to be Reid's huckster. And having said that, even Olberman has his fans because they drink the kool-aid. Obviously a lot of you are drinking whatever it is that Reid/Ralston serve to you.
Mick: Just curious - did you vote for Gibbons and Ensign, too?
sos-
I wouldn't doubt it. After all, we're all just "kool aid drinkers" and they don't believe everything they read... Well, more like anything not on Faux News. You know, facts have a "liberal bias" and we can't believe Sharron Angle's own words... Oops, did I just say that!
This is crazy talk and I question the judgment of anyone who thinks that it's not. For those who are inclined to come to Angle's defense, or to say, "I don't agree with much of what she says, but anyone is better than Reid" - sorry, that's crazy talk, too.
Hey mick? There is no "right" way to read your post, briother, only one way. And you refused to address the point-Ralston and the Sun ARE reporting the news. ANGLE said these things. All Ralston and the Sun are doing are reporting them. Stop trying to attack the messenger and address her remarks-THATS the issue and in part why so many people, a majority now, believe she is unfit for office.
Lighten up you liberal nut jobs crazies.
Can't you guys take a joke?
Can't stand the heat...go to the outhouse with a copy of the Post.
Liberals are driven by hate.
It's a basic trait of racists. Look at the pattern:
Liberals hate republicans.
Liberals hate conservative values.
Liberals hate rich people.
Liberals hate any mother who keeps her baby.
Liberals hate Christians.
Liberals hate insurance companies.
Liberals hate banks.
Liberals hate corporations.
Liberals hate "big pharma".
Liberals hate "big oil".
Liberals hate veterans.
After awhile, you come to realize that hate is what defines liberals. They hate by choice just about everything good in life. When you disagree with them, they hate you. They have no idea how to tolerate differences in people.
Because when a liberal can not refute someone or their argument based on facts or logic they revert to the standard democrat tactic:
Demonize
Marginalize
Ridicule
Attack
The liberal hate machine ought to go into full throttle as Nov. approaches..
The party of terrible ideas, the Dems, has nothing but hate to drive them to the polls.
How do you think Obama got elected?
What drove them was hate, hate for Bush.
Liberals... a mental illness drives them.
Hey jke? Did the Sun or Ralston MAKE Angle take this radio interview? Did either the Sun or Ralston CHOOSE her words? Did they FORCE her to say them? No. None of that happened. They are reporting the facts. She said these things, and you may find them difficult to defend, but don't start lying about the facts in order to try to defend them. Thats dishonest and - if you read the other posts besides yours and micks - people are seeing through it.
'DIVINE MADNESS'
" Those whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make "MAD".
Anonymous ancient proverb-Attributed to Euripides
Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence; not conforming to standards of thought, speech and action derived by the conformants from study of themselves; at odds with the majority; in short, 'UNUSUAL'.
Difinition: Ambrose Bierce "The Devil's Dictionary"
Now, my concerns with Ms. Angle is not her beliefs or her religion, because she is entitiled to those; my major concern is, if entrusted with the authority to make decisions that will affect the lives of me and my family; will they be "at odds with the majority; in short, 'UNUSUAL'.
She's scarier than Jeffery Dahmer with an empty stomach.
sick mick, and you have quite a few sick micks out there, thats whats scary.
What a nut job. Another Jim Jones waiting to happen...
Liberals are racist??? Please.
Republicans hate immigrants.
Republicans hate Muslims, Jews, etc.
Republicans hate gays.
Republicans hate government (anti-government)
Republicans hate Mormons (couldn't even nominate their obvious best Presidential candidate in Mitt Romney merely because of his religion)
Republicans hate democrats
Republicans hate Obama (won't even let the President talk to kids in school)
Republicans hate other republicans... never seen a party so divided amongst itself and its candidates.
As for Sharron Angle:
WHY why why are people daring to elect a fanatic?
"Liberals hate any mother who keeps her baby.
Liberals hate Christians."
What? hahah, please, oh please, support that.
yo vikings,
"When falls on man the anger of the gods, first from his mind they banish understanding."
Lycurgus
"When divine power plans evil for a man, it first injures his mind."
Sophocles
"Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first deprives of their senses."
Euripides
"Whom God wishes to destroy he first makes mad."
Seneca
"For those whom God to ruin has design'd, He fits for fate, and first destroys their mind."
John Dryden
"Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
And the polls scare me because I always wonder now about the collective sanity of my state. I would not feel represented, quite the opposite - sold out.
Dearest athun:
I am a liberal...
I am a liberal who's family and friends consist of several republicans.
I am a liberal who appreciates your right to your conservative values.
I am a liberal that would like to be one of the rich people.
I am a liberal that decided to keep her baby.
I am a liberal that is a Christian.
I am a liberal that does not believe that insurance companies should be able to deny my brother that had a tumor when he was 16 years old coverage for the rest of his life.
I am a liberal that does not believe that banks should be able to continue to practice in a manner that in dangerous to the customers that entrust them with their livelihood.
I am a liberal that works for a corporation.
I am a liberal that thinks that life-saving medications should not only be available to people that can afford them.
I am a liberal that thinks that holding people hostage by increasing the cost of gas because posting a multi-BILLION dollar profit for their second quarter just wasn't enough is wrong...on so many levels.
I am a liberal that is married to a veteran. 2 of my brothers-in-law are veterans. Both my maternal and paternal grandfathers were veterans. And quite frankly, I have NEVER met a person that hated veterans.
So athun, now that you know who I am, I'd like to give you my impression of who you are. You are a victim. You are a person that would rather sit back and blame the problems of the world on everyone else because we all just hate everything and everyone and it's not fair.
There is a seperation of church and state for a reason. This woman has stopped just short of declaring a holy war on the government. She is extremist, in the same ways that other religious zealots of various other religions are. Jihad by any other name...
Hilarious!!!
When NutJob Nation gets their dander up, they get FUGLY!!!
Jeez, you'd think Ralston made this crap up, the way you Nuts go after him or anyone who dares to point out the obvious...
SHE'S NUTS!!!
THANK YOU REPUBLICANS!
You have provided some great entertainment this off-year election that we really weren't "entitled to". hahahah!!!!
First the Chicken Lady, now the Crazy Lady.
Dang, you guys... just... THANKS!!!
ONly the wealthy benefit under Republicans like Angle. Her masters want her to eliminate the estate tax, like that's the most important thing that most Nevadans care about! LOL
It is in keeping with the best American traditions to rely on God before government. It was a longstanding tradition up until recently, which should give us pause to consider. Most of the world believes in answering to a just God. Most of the world would answer, "No, no thank you, no reward necessary. I just did it because it was the right thing to do."
If we in Nevada depart from this tradition, as it appears by the comments from most of you, we only have our government left. And how's that been working out for us so far? Isn't it any crazier to place faith in a mindless network of bureaucracies than it is to believe in He Whose Hand Still Rules the Wind and the Waves?
We need God and we need to govern ourselves with as limited a local oversight as possible, that you don't know and subscribe to this model decries your knowledge of history, and your awareness of current affairs.
Europe, the free world is coasting on the peace dividend that we, our God-loving American soldiers, gave and continue to give them. They forget and you may forget but I and mine will never compare the 'Progessive Socialist Democracies' of the world with the model, the God trusting model that lifted their chains when the headlines were screaming "God is Dead".
Your yammering is telling. You have to convince yourself and loudly that your trust in that headline was well placed.
What a hateful article, and even more hateful comments. It sure is sad that in America, people are so vicious about somebody else s' beliefs. This shows a lot of intolerance....or is it just panic and desperation?
How is it a hateful article? It is a transcript of an interview that she gave with a preface from Mr. Ralston stating that it is an interview in which she further explains in detail her beliefs about what role God has played in her decision to run as well as in her race. I honestly would like you to reply, this is not a rhetorical question. I would genuinely like you to tell me how the article is hateful....
Jon Ralston is a liberal Democrat and i am still voting for Sharron Angle.
It's hateful in that it opines that it is "startling rhetoric" and "explains her hostility to government programs"...that's all intended to paint Sharron as a religious kook. It simply isn't true. She's simply a woman who loves the
Lord, as do many million other Americans.
No need for Angle to remind me on a continous basis about God and his plans for her.
I don't want anyone's religious beliefs imposed on me for I do not want to do the same to everyone.
Angle is the laughing stock nutcase of the Nation.
So, someone who loves God is a nutcase? Someone who speaks of their faith is somehow "imposing beliefs on you"? How is she doing that?
At least she won't let the illegals take our jobs. Thanks Harry.
I hope ya'll notice he doesn't talk about this much before election day.
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Sharon Angle quote "God Has Called Me To Run Against Harry Reid!"
momof2lv, re: your 1:03 post,
BRAVO!
Ayatollah Angle wants to burn our government at the stake because she believes that's her calling from God.
Can any teabagger explain how that will improve our lives?
momof2lv makes the point that few of us are either 100% liberal or conservative. In reality, most of us are in the middle. We all want what is best for our families and our futures. Blaming either side for the mess we're in has gotten us nowhere. We were asleep at the switch when the US was sold to big corporations and special interests.... That said, gmag, you are always good for a chuckle. Ain't politics a hoot? I have to say, there is no one I have met who would vote for Angle. Most Republicans are appalled she is their candidate and plan to leave that selection blank come November.
Frankly it is startling rhetoric. She says that the citizens of the United States are taking the government as a false idol. I found that pretty startling. And I'm not sure what you have been following but she is openly hostile towards numerous government programs such as welfare and social security. I will be the first to agree that most government programs need a facelift at minimum. Ms. Angle refers multiple times to being at war with the government. I don't think that you can blame Ralston for that...
Well since you brought it up it occurs to me that this entity of modern worship for all-loving all giving State Power (with a face like Jon Stewart) is a suitable candidate for AntiChrist. More reason to trim government wouldn't you agree.
Cut old AC off at the knees. Stop voting for smiling Harry and his pork. Be a new heretic of old boy eastern elite doctrine.
It wouldn't be the first time something so simple stood in full view where nobody chose to see.
Give your vote to a good record of fighting back and holding firm. Constitution and trust in God are checks and balances that served us well.
Sharron Angle has the guts to say what she believes regardless of what the fallout from internet posters and newspaper columnist is going to be. It is honest, brave, and honorable. Go ahead and keep trying to destroy her. They voters will be able to see through the smear job. The only "startling rhetoric" is coming from the left and the media.
*** She is the exact opponent Harry Reid wanted to run against. He knows she is the only one he can defeat. Hmmm... makes me wonder how many Reid supporters stuffed the ballots with Angle votes to knock out Lowden and Tarkanian?? Tricks and games. Smoke and mirrors. ***
BobbyG wins:
Let us prey.
hoooo, dude you're So good.
She is not simply a woman who loves the lord. She is someone that claims God has instructed her to run for Senate and brings her religion into everything. I am a Christian, but in no way do I condone binding Church and State, the way that it seems to be coming together in Mrs. Angle.
Ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition? The new era Inquisition doesn't seem far off if nutjobs like her can actually attain office.
oh, and momof2lv, your 1:03 post was awesome!
As a non-Nevada resident I see Angle as someone who lives in another world. In that other world she only has to answer to Fix News and people of her choosing. She couldn't make it in our world where people ask questions and expect an answer no matter who asks it. Maybe we could take her and put her in with all the nut jobs running Arizona, send them all to Mexico waving US Flags and let them find out just how much freedom they have with their whimsical ideas. Possibly they would have a better attitude and respect toward what they have in the US.
What is the difference between her and cleric rule in Iran or the Taliban in Afghanistan? Angle is cut from the same cloth, only the religion is different.
Even Fox News, one of Angle's few sympathetic news organizations thinks she's "lame"
Here's an excerpt from the recent Fox News "softball" interview:
Angle: We needed to have the press be our friend.
Cameron: Wait a minute! Hold on a second" to be your friend?
Angle: Well truly"
Cameron: It sounds lame"
Angle: Well, no, no, we wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported and when I get on a show and I say send me money to SharronAngle.com, so that your listeners will know that if they want to support me they need to go to SharronAngle.com.
Sharron: keep dodging the MSM, and appear mostly on these Christian news outlets. They'll ask just the questions that you want to answer. Let the voters also know your desire to implement your Christian version of an intolerant American Taliban.
And Reid's church made an official statement today following the ruling on California's Pro. 8 saying how much they regret that the court overturned it.
Personally, I'd like to see a lot more openly agnostic people run for election. (Atheists are just as strong in their dis-belief as Christians are in their beliefs, and can be just as bad because of that.)
Is Dipstick referring to Barrack Hussein Obama when she writes:
"isnt this how the anti-christ gets his foot in the door? enter the mainstream with piety and "christian charisma" and slowly let the hammer fall on the innocent sheep."
How can Angle seriously say "government is the problem" when she has been part of it for so long? Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Sharon Angle gets a pension from being a teacher and state legislature. Her husband gets a pension as retired BLM employee. Why does she not consider these entitlements? Do you get a state pension?
And if she is such a Constitutional scholar: how about the part about freedom of religion? Does she not understand this includes freedom from religion as well?
She is making the State of Nv a joke-
Considering Palin, Bachmann and herself- she is reinforcing the Founding Father's original position- women could not hold office or even vote back in those early days of America.
Ayatollah Angle, I called it first.
Angle and her supporters epitomizes the following adage:
"Never underestimate the power of stupidity."
iMam Angle?
@daren
Just in case your naivety has got the best of you, anyone running for office and shoving their religious beliefs everytime they get a chance should be a sign for anyone to watch out. They will use those same Religious beliefs once they get the authority and gets elected in office.
I attended Catholic School from Kindergarden all the way to College, I know enough about Religion. I don't need anymore lecture on Religion, especially from a backtracking nutcase.
Most of the anti-Angle comments of this discussion seem to presuppose that believe in God and especially public statements of religious practice, such as seeking a calling from God and praying for guidance, are indications of dementia and/or lunacy.
This all sounds very much like the viewpoint of a famous person, who once wrote:
"Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man--state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.
-Marx, K. 1976. "Introduction to A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right." Collected Works, v. 3. New York.
Therefore, ye that so opine must be Marxists. Your consternation at Angle is understandable considering the blindness by which you follow your master.
A vote for Sharron Angle would be the same as extending an invitation for Godzilla to kindly visit downtown Tokyo.
It is amazing to me that the farther right and the more Christian the Republicants get, the dumber and dumber they get as well. Fools, idiots, deluded zealots, and ignoramuses can not succeed as long as an informed electorate votes.
Give 'em hell, Harry Reid! Good luck in November vs. the Crazy Lady!
I wonder how many of you morons posting here are paid by Reid to spew such vial? I bet the only reason you are posting this crap is because good old Harry is about to get dumped and it just might be the tea party to do it..
It is no secret that the Sun is totally in Harry's bag and wonder what they are getting for it..If it was not for the RJ to carry their paper, it wouldn't be available.. The first thing I do when I get the paper is throw out that useless section.
REMEMBER TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH ON NOVEMBER 2
As for Angle's statements about the U.S. Supreme Court justices, when I listen to the audio it seems to me that she is taking about the justices that Obama has nominated, not all the sitting justices, and certainly she seems to have in mind the kinds of Supreme Court candidates whose confirmation Harry Reid would be most amenable and, by substitution of herself into Harry's seat, whom she would be opposed.
If anyone doubts that Sharron Angle would endorse a Christian United States Theocracy, consider her 6-year membership in the Independent American Party of Nevada, an affiliate of the uber libertarian Constitution Party. This party's preamble advocates biblical law in America:
"The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States" The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations""
I can't believe that any American citizen would ever endorse beliefs that might lead to an American Taliban, especially a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

I see, so when Sharon Angle says something about religion it's bad, but when Nancy Pelosi says we should "Turn to God for our policy decisions" everyone just nods their heads. Ok we don't have a double standard here.
W, Palin, Angle.
Here in CO, we have Republicant Gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis who took a $300,000 grant/bribe to do a scholarly piece on water rights. His "work" was completely plagiarized and submitted in his name. He's now been exposed as a fraud, yet he continues to run.
These are people that have a serious deficit in the brain department.
I say again, the Republicant drift toward conservative theism is causing a severe brain-drain in the party.
I love it when Crazy Angle opens her piehole and spews more mindless garbage.
She's a keeper alright, at least until November.
She's more dangerous than Dick Cheney on a quail hunt.
dadofping,
There is at least one glaring differences between you plus Sahrron Angle, and Karl Marx whom you quoted. Karl Marx knew what he was talking about.
"Therefore, ye that so opine must be Marxists. Your consternation at Angle is understandable considering the blindness by which you follow your master."
You, and your ego god are insane.
She's the kind of nut bag you would expect to find leading a radical militia or something, not running for senator of the United States. She make the chicken lady look good.
Celeritas,
Pot calling kettle black, you are.
civilcitizen,
Please look up the definition of "libertarian" and also the Libertarian Party. Neither of those terms can be applied to the Constitution Party in any way, shape or form.
I agree completely with your feelings about the Constitution Party, but please don't say that they are 'uber-libertarian', they are the exact opposite in their social and religious policies.
Isn't Sharron's husband a career employee of the federal government's Bureau of Land Management? How exactly does she exclude his salary and herself from " the other half is living off the taxpayers? "
Actually I am sure he is a diligent public worker, but how does she reconcile taxpayer money supporting her household for decades?
Gee I guess those Christans are really bad. Just curious, why are Reid and his buddy Obama so silent on the Ground Zero Mosque? There are over 100 mosques in the NY city area. Could it be that their silence is to help Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the friend of the non terriost Hamas bring Sharia Law to the US? A little investigation will reveal he thinks the US shares the blame for 9/11 and that he thinks Sharia Law can Co-exist with the US Constitution. He wants our government to have advisors on Sharia compliance. Yea Reid is a safe bet for religious freedom for all America, atheists, Christans, Jews and gays. Why isn't Reid showing some leadership here?
Sharron Angle's primary income is her husbands federal pension!!!
I assume she gets some kind of government subsidized healthcare as well with that pension. The hero of the Tea Party and anti-government crusader gets a check from the federal government for life, and maybe even some of that evil "socialized" medical care. Talk about entitlement!!!
She's like an anti-alcohol crusader yelling about the evils of booze while chugging a cold beer at the bar.
God help us if she and her minions get into power.
didactic & eugene58
Very good. You lifted that factoid right off of HarryReid.com. How independent of you.
Correction: Angle is for limited government. She does not seem to be an anarchist (anti-law/government).
The BLM is not known to be an anti-freedom hegemony as the EPA seems to be. The BLM also seems to fill a Constitutional need (see below):
Article IV, Section 3
...
"The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State."
Certainly in Nevada, the BLM serves an important role--to safe guard natural resources.
I have no doubt that Ted Angle did his job at the BLM as a hard working public servant.
Jesus was a hippie. His gf was a whore and he cared for poor people rather than capitalists.
I will vote for Angle even though I don't agree with all her positions because literally anybody would be better than Harry Reid.
RobinW not sure if you have noticed yet but we live in the state of Nevada not New York and considering that Harry Reid is the Senator from the state of Nevada and not New York any comments, concerns, and insights that he might have on a mosque in lower Manhattan are as superfluous as your own might be. Freedom of religion is not limited by proximity to the places we cherish because of the atrocities committed there. The acts committed on that infamous day was the work of a faction of clearly deranged people however blanket judgement of Muslim faith based on those acts would be a condemnation of the constitution. By the way it is Christians not Christans just a heads up.
The latest unintelligible gibberish from the Republican's Senatorial Candidate from Hell;
"Harry Reid's Plan to Save the Nevada Economy: Coked-up Stimulus Monkeys."
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010...
Step right up, folks!!!
The Freak Show is just GETTING STARTED!!!
THANK YOU, Tea Party!
Sincerly, Harry Reid.
momof2lv, Well I'm glad that you think the ground zero mosque is only a NY issue. I guess 9/11 only affected NY, DC and a little hill in PA. My statement was not a blanket judgment of Muslim faith but pointed to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his backing of the non terrorist Humas, his call to bring Sharia Law to all America, his blaming America for 9/11. I guess if you think Sharia Law should Co-exist with our Constitution and that the ground zero mosque is not a trophy representing the triumph of the deranged faction over the Infidels of America (check the meaning of Cordoba) it's ok to be silent and it's ok to ignore the funding of this particular mosque and it's ok to pretend that this is not a issue for NV residents - sort of like sticking one's head in the sand. Reid's silence is similar to Obama's voting present until he knows which way the wind is blowing - actions speak volumes. Good luck with Sharia Law.
Christians:
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians, your Christians are so unlike your Christ........Who said that?
There is nothing more American than to have a mosque at ground zero. Nothing could make a stronger statement about what we hold most dear than for that to happen.
Yes, I'm sure that Angle would disagree, but her religious views are not what I'm interested in. And the fact that she would be a freshman Senator guarantees that she would be harmless in that area.
Let's hear what Reid has to say about that mosque. We already know his church regrets the court decision today about gay marriage in California.
Frau Angle wants to eliminate the FEDERAL Department of Defense. After all, it is not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Also, it is part of the secular, humanistic nanny state FEDERAL government. Finally, GOD will protect the believers of one nation.
dadofping: Did Karl Marx write that on page 1976 or in year 1976? If he wrote it in 1976, where is he? I nominate Karl Marx for office. If he is not available, is Groucho Marx still around?
Freedom to Republicans is marching in lockstep, agreeing with Sharron Angle and Rush Limbaugh.
One must agree with those two, one hundred percent.
If Sharron says go ask GOD for a job at Wal-Mart.
I say thank you Sharron! Whatever you say Sharron!
Rush Limbaugh told me to vote Republican! I value my freedom so, whatever Rush tells me to do
I do it! See freedom is easy if you are totally obedient to your betters and you let Sharron Angle do all your thinking for you.
Man OH Man!
I feel so free! I let others tell me what to do!
This is the Republican way! Following and being obedient, even if it is detrimental to your well-being.
Thanks but, No thanks!
I will vote for the Democrat, because I know that I will get a fair shake.
The GOP loves only the monied powers.
They could care less about Americans that don't follow them lockstep. So, To heck with them, the GOP can go jump in Lake Mead!
Thank you, Jon.
Nothing is more powerful than the truth.
Angle is a total whack-job.
Now don't just dismiss this. The shoe fits. It's not an overreaching approach nor a blitz on the government of our fathers.
But it's visible.
The late Robert Byrd (Dem) objected to a Presidential czar taking the census from the Dept. of Commerce handing it off to ACORN.
Byrd said "power grab."
Conservatives say "Whoa,too much change, there!" when czars take over an Auto Industry bailing out Unions, support dealerships who are constituents, then sack the CEO of an auto maker. Some companies get bailed out by a Treasury Secretary, yet others with better business models are left to compete against the nationalized favorites. Insurance professionals say that solvent brokerage firms were ready to step into the vacuum left by AIG.
"No!"say Constitutional Conservatives when the Feds "regiment" the loaning of money to any applicants, forcibly usurping banking professionals.
Conservatives object to regimentation. See moratorium on Drilling within our nation. See moratorium on offshore drilling, See moratorium on construction of Nuclear Energy sites, See legislation to regulate gas production by fracturing.
Conservatives object to Presidents who, without Congress, execute fines on a private company, then stands blocking action to restore economy saying glibly that any losses resulting from government inaction will be charged to the company.
How do you pay back the loss of a sixty year old family business, Mr. President?
Our President and Congress embrace the "regimenting" of "business and industry". The health care industry, the energy industry (see Maxine Walters socializing oil), the information industry (see Net Neutrality), the automobile industry (see the closing of dealerships),radio (see Fairness Doctrine), etc.
You might dismiss each of these individually, yet can you afford to dismiss these mileposts in steady erosion of Constitutional limits with checks and balances?
Reid orders banks to prop up projects and payrolls for MGM and Union Labor. They are old contributors and some jobs were switched around. Claiming to have saved tens of thousands of jobs, especially having shortcut Democracy in the process, is a grievous lie.
So Sharron threatens democracy. Maybe she'll get an interview with Katie, and get filmed bowing her head briefly to ask, in a sincere childlike way, for patience and strength in the cause. Hopefully Katie is startled enough to mumble an amen.
Can more prayers and more amens harm in our current state?
So she prays for our troops and yes, for our enemies. She prays for Harr....well, maybe not that, who would put it past her?
You begrudge an embattled patriot her prayer, can't say amen when someone prays sincerely in your behalf, rage that she's the new Taliban.
Still got your savings in that bank that Harry forced the vaults on? MGM just posted $883 million in losses.
Pray, folks.
"Kooky ain't Kool from any Angle."
Ya heard it here first.

Well done. You've addressed everything I was thinking on this subject, so I can retire for the evening. Thank you!

RobinW,
I loved your post. No Vietnamese cultural centers at The Wall either. Nor German cultural centers next to Arlington. Sorry, folks, but some things are sacred.
hombre,
I am trying to be a Christian, and I know who said that. And he was a good man, but his efforts to free India, though monumental, fall far behind the achievements of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy, King, Reagan.
Stumbling Christians have more than made up for abuses that abounded in the dark infancy of all the faiths. I for one forgive all faiths all of their horrors just to have the privilege of witnessing the rise of Man out of slavery under the banner of Western faith-based Constitutional Democracy.
If W wasn't the anti-christ he ain't coming !
teamster,
Is everything you buy union made? Do you look at the labels of every product you purchase and put it back if it is not "Made in USA"? My wife (who is more pro-union than you are) and I do our best and it is impossible to buy only American made products, let alone union made products.
I have never, ever crossed a picket line in my fifty-six years on this planet, even though I refuse to join a union. Can you say the same?
The SEIU is destroying everything unions stand for.
Imho Angle is missing the point: she cannot make herself any holier by only obeying the 1st Commandment, because christianity is not about man reaching out to God and step by step working his way into holyness, but it's about God reaching down to man by His forgivness of our sins.
Even Angle sins day by day, although obeying the 1st Commandment, she might on the quiet stick my tasty banana in her pants, just to have some fun.
Btw, I did not mean that she, by doing her thing, puts my banana above God, or something like that. The point is: we're all sinners anyway, until Jesus comes into play (when talking about christianity).
Regards
Banana_Joe
Holy Lord, please forgive me, because I have sinned again, when comparing you to a banana. Amen.
Neither her or Reid are worth a damn. But she is way out there.
I hate the fact that these two are the leading candidates for Senator. I cant vote for either of them.
teamster,
Freedom loving Christian families sacrificed at many a weary labor in great peril to get it where Unions could even get a start. Unions came after a lot of the fighting was already done, so I'll give credit where credit is due.
Did Rosie the riveter do any 'collective bargaining', or call on FDR during time of war?
I don't mind unions in principle, but collusion, votes for favors, strong arming in any way, all strike me as unChristian and unAmerican and ultimately unprofitable.
Kindly answer, did Harry Reid influence banks to loan when they didn't want to? Did this go to provide payroll for Union labor that largely came from out of state? Did this Union pay contributions toward the Democratic party in general and reelection of Harry Reid in fact?
Did MGM contribute in fact to Harry Reid for reelection? God in Heaven, it sounds like we're back in 1930's Chicago.
That's not progress, that's not liberal, that's not democratic, it's not American, and it is far from Christian.
But it is Harry. And if he brings this state down, it's that much closer to bringing America, built by Unions or not, to a tipping point that freedom and democracy may not survive.
Build a church, teamster, and may God save us all, including Harry.
By the way, are you the one who threw eggs at Sharron's bus in Searchlight?
I could use some eggs right now.
boftx......
I have been on many picket lines myself and
have NEVER crossed someone elses.
I and my wife buy as many American made items
as possible.
Both of our cars are union made Chrysler
products.
I walk the walk for the U.S.A.
bringer......
The corruption done in this country was done
by anti-union republicans.
I'll stand tall by President Obama and
Harry Reid.
LIVE BETTER, WORK UNION.
teamster,
How many of your union brothers and sisters will sit idle in a hall waiting for a call that will never come if Reid is allowed to pass his immigration "reform" bill that allows illegal workers to keep the jobs that should rightfully be filled by US citizens?
You know as well as I do that many jobs that can be done by union workers are being filled by illegals. Do you really want to keep your union brothers and sisters out of work?
I'm not asking you to become a Republican, I'm asking you to look at what the SEIU and Reid are trying to do. They do NOT share the same values as the Teamsters or AFL-CIO.
Old Joke:
A man was entering heaven and the Apostle Paul was escorting him around. They went down a long hallway, and in the first room on the left people singing. Who are they (?), the man asked. Paul replied, they are the Methodists. They continued down the hall past another room, where people were seated and reading the Bible. Again the man asked, who are those people. Baptists, they are always studying the Bible, Paul replied. As they continued on, they approached another room off to the right of the hallway that was very, very quiet. Paul stated to the man, sssshhhh!, don't say anything. They're the RNC, they think they are the only ones here.
As a Christian, I understand where she was trying go and trying to say. We are Americans too, and we refuse to change no matter the pressures.
Take stealing for example. If I am to keep my religion at home, then I can go out and steal anything I want...until I got home and felt the consequences. It cannot work like that. Either I care or I don't.
There are many times when I've felt like not caring, but my heart would just not allow it. Would you prefer me to be a different person? Why?
This country was founded on religious persecution. Should we endure it again? There is no need for this fear. We are who we are, and you can't change that.
Maybe you missed the part about not forcing anyone to believe as we do? That's right. We hold ourselves at this standard, not you. So what really scares you? Oh. Even if we were a Theocracy, you would never notice the difference. I WOULDN'T PERMIT IT!
We are not Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc. Grow up and educate yourselves.
Always educate yourselves. Do not listen to what one or many people say. Find the facts, whether or not they were the ones you sought. Facts are stubbon things, my friends. :)
Have a nice day.
Thanks boftx for painting atheists with a broad brush. I guess my non-belief is as strong as any theist with the exception that if you've got the proof I won't deny the god.
Now I'll go door to door spreading the good news about reason
@Rosemary:
As a christian, me too, I understand what she is going for: Angle is going to be elected, no matter how, now playing the christian card, which as history shows US, is not a new strategy.
Christianity has always been a good draw to justify unchristian actions, to fight religious wars in the name of LOVE (Jesus), to name one's political party after LOVE, to get elected in the name of LOVE, etc.
How "christian" is a party proclaiming to cut expenses on the poorest folks, to make it harder and harder for the single mother to get through?
- That party is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, because I never read in the Bible how Jesus cut short on people being desperately in need of help. Nowhere.
How christian can a country be bringing christianity to another country by means of war, death, suffering of civilians, etc.?
- That country just acts as the devil in disguise, because as you can read in the Bible, you can only get new believers by spreading the good word around and by means of LOVE. No war, no hate, no way. That's the truth.
So, why does that Angle strawwoman not stick the tasty banana I gave her (for free) in her pants and hides back in the seat of her election campaign bus to have some fun with herself, before I turn the monkey loose?
At least that hypocrite politician could stop claiming to be our new connection to God and to start talking politics and what she really wants to change to help Las Vegas/Nevada to get US back on track.

@Gregory: Good one :)
Im so embararrased for Nevada that she was even nominated! Ive lost any respect I had for the Tea Party Movement, I have no choice but to Vote for Harry Reid. We cant afford to give up the most powerful seat in the Senate for Angle, shes a joke.

Why is it that Christians tend to know the least about their own religion and its history?
WHO IS THE REAL WHACKO????
You're definitely in the running, narf. Are you related to Helen Weils, btw?
I need to tell Sharron that GOD talked to me the other day. He said endorses Harry Reid. Sharron makes him throw up a little in his mouth. By the way, GOD is a liberal.
47 + 51 = 98.
I can't figure out if her understanding of theology or simple math is more frightening.
He who grants your Human Rights can take them away.
Where do you get YOUR rights from? The Government or God?
If Sharron Angle Wins, then Nevada and the nation lose! She would be a junior Senator from a small population state.
The state's clout would be no more. She is wrong on so many levels!
Her own words damn her!
We have a US Constitution that has a Separation of
Church and State.
This was so, no State Religion would be sanctioned by the state.
Sharron has also stated that there may be Second Amendment remedies for changing Government. People who tried that in the past were called traitors.
I don't believe she knows the first thing about being an American. She is a typical Republican that is trying to impose her will on other Americans.
Our Country is Free in spite of her.
IMO, her comment is an excellent analogy along with being true!
This is why the country is in the mess we are in. These are the typical people who support and vote for Democrats. Why do they vote this way. A simple answer of one word: "Entitlements". The Party of Free!
http://noiri.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-an...
Okay, lemme see if I got this right...
Sharron Angle says we're all going to Hades.
And if I vote to re-elect Senator Reid, I'm going to Hades.
But if I vote for Sharron Angle, I'm still going to Hades.
My options on this going to Hades thing seem to be very limited. So therefore, I'm voting to re-elect Senator Reid.
Seriously, I choose that way because religion and state need to be separate. No way am I letting evangelical church lady in there. Not in a State like Nevada where we have wine, women, song and gambling.
A vote for Sharron Angle would cause Bugsy Siegel to spin like a top turning over in his grave.
With a nutball like Sharron Angle, if she disliked guacamole dip, she'd urge the Senate to ban it.
And, by God, all us guacamole dip lovers here in Nevada, we need to unite! And say no to her nefarious plot!
Got to wondering just how religious Nevada is--in terms of church attendance, Gallup (2009) says it is the 5th-lowest state. 30% say they go to church weekly or nearly-weekly. She's entitled to her personal religious beliefs but don't expect most Nevadans to go along with them.
Dear God,
Please rapture away these Angle kooks asap! Also, it'd way cool if you could speed up the unemployment checks; we need to get some money flowing around town again.
Thanks!
It will take several election cycles to rid ourselves of the Harry Reids, Mitch McConnels, and all the others who have been corrupted by too long a tenure. The political class has made a mess of things. Give new blood a chance.
Sharron Angle and Sarah Palin are two Republicants that have a lot to say but nothing makes any sense. They try to enlist scares tactics and hope you will forget how we got into this mess. The scariest part of all of this is if Angle is elected it will make John Ensign the senior Senator from Nevada. There goes any chance of a recovery in the near future. Angle already preaches that it will not be her job to bring jobs to Nevada and I sure do not want to depend on someone of low moral character to try and help Nevada. I am afraid will get the shaft, so to speak.
The Republicants biggest concern is taxes and they do their best to prevent paying what the average citizen has no choice but to pay. Their goal will be more tax cuts for the wealthy and tax increases for the working people. If we had less tax loopholes we would not be in the the fiscal fiasco that we currently are enduring. The Republicants tell us how terrible things are but not what they are doing to improve the situation. They want us to believe more tax cuts make more jobs, which is B S, all that will do is make the wealthy wealthier.
Hey, narf, cool down, you're on a roll, dude, you're quit a poster/pastor here. Would you also like to get some fresh banana? Ok, now here's your background music.
Maybe Angle should play some christian backround music when talking about God on her campaign tour, I mean, just put some loudspeakers on top of her tour bus and then just sing along:

Theocracy?
Over my dead body.
Has anyone ever asked her how her Religious beliefs jibe with gambling, alcohol and strip clubs? Dictating social behavior (abortion, gay marriage etc) based on a particular faith will logically lead to prohibitions on a lot of money makers for the local economy. Either that or she'll be exposed for the hypocrite she is.
Hilarious, Banana_Joe.
But I beg to differ from your observations.
When I think of Sharron Angle and Christian background music, it's not exactly Joss Stone.
I picture it more like creepy Gregorian chant stuff in a narthex with people in long robes and cowls and stuff and Lon Chaney Sr. playing madly at a rather large church organ. Like out of the set of some Steven King novel or something.
I love this story from an RJ commenter:
Suzie.McKay wrote on August 05, 2010 04:56 AM:
Angle's quote reminds me of the story about the farmer who bought a dilapidated old farmhouse and set about restoring the property and planting crops. The local pastor visited and remarked, "Sir, you and God have done a remarkable job here." The farmer replied, "You should have seen it when God had it by himself." The framers of our Constitution were very careful to separate church and state. Ms. Angle should do the same.
What is the big deal? She was being interviewed by a Christian radio program and was speaking to the listeners. Hardly a new concept in politics.
And Diamonddog get it straight. No where in the Constitution does it mention separation of Church and State. I am not saying there shouldn't be one, but I can't stand the ignorance of people who keep saying this. It drives me crazy!
Please...someone get that woman BACK on her medication.
88 days left and Sharron Angle is still running neck to neck with Harry Reid...
@ColinFromLasVegas:
...was just a marketing gag to better up her image, a little more sexyness, you know.
But you're definitely right about that Gregorian stuff, just what I was about to say...
@narf:
Sharron will never join the ranks of Our Founding Fathers, because imho she is a hypocrite career politician playing the christian card to get elected, not the way the Founding Fathers did it to fight for/found an equal opportunity democracy in the US.
Imho she is even too dumb to run this chistian game (being only way to God via Jesus, God reaching down to man, forgiveness of sins, etc.).
I bet $10 she's even too dumb to survive a simple poker round downtown or some roulette in Paris, some baccarat ...whatsoever.
Ask her about some simple Poker hands...
I mean, why should she as an incompetent career politician live on the taxpayer's money, what's the use, why not recommend an industry b job to her until she herself desperately needs the unemplyoment check she was about to cut off for the poorest folks and the ones desperately in need of help. Sorry, dude, I could never elect her, not in my dumbest dreams.

Banana_Joe
The very first words of the first amendment of the Constitution:
"Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
Pretty important to the founding fathers. No established (state) religion, which had caused untold misery and wars in Europe.
Hey, narf, maybe you could just once in your life do something to help US out, here, dude, I mean, help US to do what the the Babyboomer suggests: get that crazy Sharron back on her medication, so she cannot do any harm anymore to anybody, especially not to the poorest folks, who have no lobby.
Please, narf, c'mon, narf, you're the man, please, could you do this for US, please, man.
Thanks in advance. Anytime you will get your banana for free, narf, I promise.

"WHY DOESN'T THE SUN DISCUSS HARRY REID'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ???"
Harry doesn't inject his personal religious beliefs into his politics.
Sharron does, and has made NUMEROUS public pronoucements about her religious views and how they influence her policy decisions.
SHE opened the door and kept it open with frequent comments. You want someone to be angry at? Be angry at your insane candidate.
Narf, to me, all religious views can be seen as bizarre to various people.
We have a choice between Reid, who doesn't inject his personal politics into his policy, and Angle, who does.
Angle continues to make her religion a centerpiece of her campaign. She wants to discuss it. The Sun is obliging her.
Angle: "I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY RELIGION! I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY RELIGION! ACK! THE GOVERNMENT IS BREAKING THE FIRST COMMANDMENT! ACK! I WAS CALLED BY GOD TO RUN AGAINST REID! ACK! I'M LIKE MOSES AND JESUS! ACK!"
Narf: "Why are you talking about Angle's religion!?!"
SHE made her religion the issue. Reid hasn't said anything about it.
See? That is the problem when people interchange "religion" and "Christianity" - they are not the same thing.
Pretending that the founding fathers were of the same faith is silly. Even if (God forbid) we did establish a State religion, pretending that the various sects of Christianity could ever agree on ANYTHING is ludicrous. Evangelicals poking at Mormons or Catholics or vise versa is a great example of why Religion needs to stay out of the business of the State.
So you're saying Angle must act on her faith and thus she wants a theocracy!
Can't we just elect a Bible instead? I don't need crazy Sharron Angle telling me or the citizens of the United States what God intends.
Sharron Angle does not speak for any higher being.
The Cousins War a good book for those who have a revisionist outlook on religious liberty. Why don't you right wingers refer to the constitution now ? Just forget the first ammendment when it's convenient; only the second is important ?
Harry can just sit back and watch Crazy-A$$ Angle position herself right OUT OF the race!!!
With all of her talk Sharon comes off as the un-jesus. Take from the poor and give to the rich. Yes, the top earners pay the bulk of taxes. The top 5% control 90% of the wealth in this country. Yet you working folks have bought into the scam to blame all of our country's woes on the working poor.
Every time someone repeats Sharron Angle's OWN words, she and her supporters claim she is being slandered. The role of the press is to report what our politicians say. Perhaps you believe as Sharron does that the press should report the news as SHE wants it to be reported.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Sharron Angle is still running a neck to neck race with Harry Reid with 88 days to the finish line.
Well, narf, it's been quit a while since I graduated at high school/university, so I must admit to have missed some lessons in history and some lessons in religion.
And I must admit, to be not too much concerned about anybody's religious belief anywhere on planet earth, since I do beieve in the freedom of choice of religion and, of course, a sincere separation of politics and religious concerns.
Anyway, narf, thanks for the lessons about history and religion. And I might have reaad between your lines, that you do dislike religious hipocrites as much as I do.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Harry Reid is ahead of Sharron Angle in the last 4 polls:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/...
Please,,,,make Sharron Angle GO AWAY !!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Harry's current lead of 2.2% is so close that Sharron Angle is still considered to be running a neck to neck race with Harry Reid with 88 days to the finish line.
Anyone recognize these quotes:
While I reiterate the professions of my dependence upon Heaven, as the source of all public and private blessings, I will observe, that the general prevalence of piety, philanthropy, honesty, industry, and economy seems, in the ordinary course of human affairs, particularly necessary for advancing and confirming the happiness of our country.
No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the affairs of men, more than the people of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.
The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained
Anyone Recognize these quotes:
Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government
A watchful eye must be kept on ourselves lest while we are building ideal monuments of Renown and Bliss here we neglect to have our names enrolled in the Annals of Heaven
Landholders ought to have a share in the government, to support these invaluable interests, and to balance and check the other. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority.
I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations;
The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities to be impressed with it.
WHO SAID: Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government
I posted quotes from two authers in two separate post boxes..Anyone care to guess who the two people are who wrote the quotes?
How about this one:
The more Jihad Sharron flaps her lips the closer she gets to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Too bad for what's left of non-Bircher wing of the Republican party. One could call it a stunning turnaround of biblical proportions as Nevadans realize they don't want to be represented by fundamentalist nutjobs. It's like geezelouise said earlier in the thread, the race has morphed into "anyone but Angle" now.
Are the people of this country are so poorly educated and illiterate..so blinded by hatred of all things Christian... that they can no longer read or understand the terminology and the arguments of their own cultural leaders?
I suppose they know the sexual positions and they know better than to question a darwinist..This is progress?
OKRA:
Who said "Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government"
narf: funny that you're the one raising the notion of paid bloggers
LarryV: Welcome back, buddy!
Give 'em hell, Harry Reid! Good luck in November versus the whack-job theocrat Angle-shooter.
Would God vote for Angle?
Two clowns to choose from the senate race. Vote none of the above. Reid cost your state billions in the screw Nevada bill. He acquiesed and said ok. Angle has been a part of your worthless legislature. A crackpot and a ex boxer/lawyer. Just what Nevada needs more idiots to choose from.
This does not sound like a sane person:
"And these programs that you mentioned -- that Obama has going with Reid and Pelosi pushing them forward -- are all entitlement programs built to make government our God. And that's really what's happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government."
A woman spending millions of dollars on glitzy campaign commercials and posters of her own face is decrying "idolatry?"
A Christian hypocrite.
Narf, I agree with you. alot of these posters will vote for Reid, and Corruption no matter what. Jon Rolston bind over backwards to make her look bad.I pray that the Lord give her strength through Christ.People will always hate Christians
Angle wants to send women back to the kitchen... that's the only "acceptable and right thing to do."
"Right now, we say in a traditional home one parent stays home with the children and the other provides the financial support for that family," she said. "That is the acceptable and right thing to do. If we begin to expand that, not only do we dilute the resources that are available, we begin to dilute things like health care, retirement, all the things offered to families that help them be a family."
Does her God demand this? Did he whisper it into her ear?
Harry Reid Stinks, or rather Sinks in Joes Banana boat. So she's nuts because she believes in God. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what she said on a Christian radio broadcast. Jon Ralston you make it seem like she committed a crime. The thing about any election is the more people know about a candidate the more of an informed decision that can make; Jon Rolston it obvious to me that you are making every effort to get Harry Reid re-elected, you've got one heck of a scam going: I am sure that Harry Reids office receive daily your comments, and I am certain that you report to Harry Reid's office, I have never in my life say a Reporter put so much effort into a Political Campaign, the thing is you show your Candidate Harry Reid as an angel, Man you have one reprobated mind ;
what about Harry Reid's Voting Record on illegal immigration?
Voted NO on building a fence along the Mexican border. (Sep 2006)
Voted NO on limit welfare for immigrants. (Jun 1997)
Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. (May 2006) allowing Illegal aliens, aiding criminals. Voted NO on declaring English as the official language of the US government. (Jun 2007) This is what a Wingnutt will do, this is him pandering to the Hispanic vote, and some of you are still sleeping, and listening to Jon Rolston continue to bash Sharron Angle. Voted YES on Bush Administration Energy Policy. (Jul 2003) Bush and Reid ??????????????Voted NO on requiring full Senate debate and vote on cap-and-trade. (Apr 2009) why vote we got HarryVoted NO on protecting middle-income taxpayers from a national energy tax. (Apr 2009) You Harry Reid middle class; He voted himself a pay raise, and voted No on protecting middle-income taxpayers who voted for him, don't make the same mistake, it's time for him to go. Voted YES on Congressional pay raise. (Jul 2009) These Politicians are already rich enough, the Citizen should have that vote, this is the type of Government Power that Sharron Angle is talking about, and for those of you who call her names, she want to help rid Washington of its corrupt Politicians. Voted NO on requiring photo ID to vote in federal elections. (Jul 2007) Voted YES on allowing some lobbyist gifts to Congress. (Mar 2006) Voted NO on establishing the Senate Office of Public Integrity. (Mar 2006) Voted NO on banning more types of Congressional gifts. (Jul 1995) Reject photo ID requirements for voting. (Sep 2005) Voted NO on more penalties for gun & drug violations. (May 1999) Voted YES on continuing federal funds for declared "sanctuary cities". (Mar 2008)
most of us are Christians and would never vote for this loon.

rr1971,
"No where in the Constitution does it mention separation of Church and State. I am not saying there shouldn't be one, but I can't stand the ignorance of people who keep saying this. It drives me crazy!"
That is NOT what drives you crazy. Truth is.
The First Amendment to the United States: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ."
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ."
Unless you're a Muslim and want to worship... then the Republicans get awfully crabby and nasty and try to tell you where you can and can't worship.
Religious freedom is a constitutional right they apply only to Christians.
Hey narf, is that vomit hanging from your mouth or some other kind of googoo?
Sharron Angle have not said that Muslims don't have the right to worship freely, no one else have said that, edgewise- you can worship dog, a pig, a cat, and elephant, lion, or fish if you want to, that is your business.
It's gotta be tough spending all that time and effort getting reeled into the christian persecution boat just to be thrown back in.
pmontg53, several of Angle's Republican cohorts have come out and criticized the free worship of Muslims. Sarah Palin herself, one of Angle's friends -- and someone who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Angle's campaign -- has declared it wrong for Muslims to worship as they choose.
They believe in religious freedom for themselves, not anyone else.
They call themselves defenders of liberty yet they seek to persecute Muslims for the simple act of worship.
They irrationally yet intentionally confuse crazed hijackers for peace-loving Muslim-Americans.
Republicans: Freedom For Us, NONE FOR YOU!
Narf: you've made some very good points, reid supports can't stand to hear the truth.
A Founding Father
In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw--having extracted them from the mouths of his slaves.
Angle is no angel LOL..She is clueless and doesn't know the meaning of Freedom of Religion or it seems of anything else. Hmmm reminds me of another self righteous, moronic woman;-)
Celeritas what does that have to do with Sharron Angle? and Martin Luther King was a Republican, did you know that. I have a dream that Sharron Angle will win this election. The first man to die in the Revolutionary was Black, he would probably vote for Sharron Angle, so what else is new?
Narf criticises Mormonism as ridiculous. So therefore we should not vote for Senator Reid. Narf goes back several years to get some juicy foot-in-the-mouth gaffs from Senator Reid. Note that none of those gaffs involve Reid's faith, or any other faith.
Angle provides us with gaffs of all sorts whenever she merely opens her mouth. The religious gaffs are among the most egregious, because they are offensive to all but the most sanctimonious of evangelical conservative Chistians.
At least Senator Reid is polite enough to practice his religion with private dignity.
You just have to look into this woman's eyes to see that there is absolutely no one at home.
pmontg53,
Sharron Angle often points to the fact that the vast majority of our Founding Fathers were God fearing Christian men, guided by the hand (and voice) of God, as she implies she is likewise so guided.
Thomas Jefferson owned over 600 slaves, do you believe he was guided by God, like Sharron? Or do you think God was just, you know, wink-wink, looking the other way?
For those of you upset about Sharia law being instituted in the US, would you, please, give me the particulars of how what this woman intends to institute is in any way different? Just claiming that you are being executed for adultery in the name of a "christian" god instead of an islamic god is no difference at all. What I want to know is how the penalties and how the crimes differ between Sharia and the Dominionist law that this woman is advocating.
edgewise: Your facts are distorted. You chose to embrace Islam that is your business. the facts are that, 100% of American women would be killed under sharea law, even a Muslim Women who is raped, would be put to death, that is why many perverted men flock to Islam as a form of religion. Before you speak about what Sarah Palin or Sharron Angle said, maybe you should do your research first. Muslims must think that you are crazy for defending their beliefs, and would cut your head clean off your body if they had the chance, it's a shame that people who are willing to fight and die for this country have to put up with the ignorance of people who could careless for it. Open Border Harry Reid;
TexasAggie, you are one fool simple
The major problem I have with Sharron Angle, before I can even get to policy, capabilities, qualifications...a PLAN, are the things she says.
Like the caboose that sets the speed of the train, Sharron Angle just never gets smarter than her last stupid comment.
I swear to Christ, this narf dude makes gogowhitesox and Doyen look like intelligent people. And by the way, Larry, Angle is hanging on by her fingernails to stay within the margin of error, but a month ago she was twenty points ahead. Lost cause, Larry, hang it up.
Someone once told me the two most terrible topics to speak about in a workplace are religion and politics. I became a believer of that when a boss believed he had all the solutions to both topics and loudly and incessantly shared them. Religion is an interesting can of worms. It dates back over thousands of years and is dynamic, or ever-changing. Polytheism dates back to ancient Rome and Egypt. You beseech one god for crops, one for fair trade, one for seafaring, and many others for various blessings. Ask all you want, but benevolent gods are a modern idea. There are many gods looking out for humanity, but rules and guidelines were set by political leaders. Distribution of goods and services were set by government through a filtration system. The lowest class stole or scavenged for survival. Go back in time and visit them. Use your nerve-grinding, hen-pecking tone of voice and quote the Ten Commandments.
Go forward in time. Monotheism has become the common belief in Europe. It's the 14th century. Life is so tough that the government and the church are looking for anyone to blame for poor crops, plague and other problems. The Ten Commandments are set aside by both officials. People are told by both that crops will improve and disease will be gone if they give people up as the cause of their problems. The CHURCH and the GOVERNMENT set aside the Ten Commandments devastating Europe and eventually the US. During that time the CHURCH and the GOVERNMENT acted together. Go back in time and visit them. Use your nerve-grinding, hen-pecking tone of voice and quote the Ten Commandments.
Again, let's go forward in time. It's the Great Depression. A loaf of bread is like a gold brick to a lot of people. People stood in bread lines hoping to ease the pain in their bellies. Wonder Bread didn't suddenly think giving out bread would be a good promotion. The government gave out that bread. That loaf of bread had to last as long as possible. There was no guarantee you would get bread. Even after the Depression ended people still were unable to feed themselves. Hungry people equaled weak people. Weak people meant less productive people. Our country needed productive people to be great again. The government realized this little idea. Welfare programs were set up to change people for the better. Free will gave these people two choices. One, they take government help, get back on their own two feet and leave the program. Two, they take the government's help, but do little to improve themselves. The latter may be they're lazy, or circumstances prevent them from improving. Whatever their case is, they're people. Anyone who wants to cite anything from Christian religion probably should know this: "Love thy neighbor." If you truly love your neighbor you won't pry or criticize. Help them where you can, and respect their decisions even if it's not one you'd make. It's their life, not yours.
Thank you again, Republicants, for choosing Crazy Sharron Angle-shooter to face Senator Reid in November. As LarryV assures us, she's running neck and neck with the Senate Majority Leader, and spending valuable Republicant/Teabagg campaign dollars that could be more efficiently used in more competitive national races.
Give 'em hell, Harry Reid! Good luck in November against the TihadistTeabaggingTalibaner. May you win by a nose, and break the hearts of our freakish theocratic brethren.
noanions,
Thank you for your thought provoking, heart rendering, respectfully presented, soulful thoughts.
pmontg53,
I answered your question but you didn't answer mine. I don't have all day, sorry...
ZumaBound- (1723?--70). The first American to die at the Boston Massacre, Crispus Attucks was probably an escaped slave.

Any man who will not at least try to stop the killing of the innocent unborn is just as guilty as the butcher who cuts that child out of his mother's womb.

Celeritus, I did'n know you had a question waiting for me, I really enjoy help you get you mental faculities inorder, please don't tell me to do a spell check, you get the geist. If you talking about Sharron Angles experience, why do she need experience to become a Senator? She's honest, and willing to do what's right, a lot of people must think so, something else to think about, all of those former Sue Lowdens supporters will be voting for Angle.
skerlahdee, thanks for letting me know that. I'll come back to read it as often as I can.
pmontg53:
You seem to have certain inside information as to what god objects to, like "men are having sex with me [sic], women are having sex with women". You further seem to want to treat "illegal aliens" as criminals. To the extent you are relying on the bible for the former, you might want to also read Leviticus 24:22 as it is instructive on god's attitudes on how we should treat aliens.
But thats mere religion. This is the united states and we have a constitution which controls our laws and our obligations. That document sets up 3 co-equal branches of government, one of which, the US Supreme Court has interpreted the 14th amendment as barring the right of the states or the federal government from interfering with homosexual activity any differently than heterosexual activity (Lawrence v. Texas) so "men having sex with me [sic] is a constitutionally protected right every bit as much as your right to stroke your glock nine to avoid addressing your homophobia.
Hey pmontg53,
I promise to write real slow and not use any big words.
Assuming you haven't passed out yet, you might try scrolling up to the question you asked me, then scroll down to my answer to you, and then read.
Or not...I really don't care. Your pretty predictable anyway. Oops, that was a big word, huh.
Jumbabounce: did you vote for President only because he is Black?
Celeritas: I chose (Or not...)I am in no competition with anyone about little word, or big words. What is really important is this race, we who support a canidate have that right, thank God we still live in a free society where we can openly agree, (Or not...) See you at the polls in Nov. (Or not...)
Edgewise said:
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ."
Unless you're a Muslim and want to worship... then the Republicans get awfully crabby and nasty and try to tell you where you can and can't worship.
Religious freedom is a constitutional right they apply only to Christians."
Amen
okay, no prob pmontg I assumed 53 was your age not your IQ. thanks for playing.
hss46, You need to read Romans Chapter 1. I'ed rather care for what God's word say. As it refer to illegal aliens, and the 3 branches of Government the branch that deals with illegal aliens invading this land, they need to do what they are in office to do. That is why we need to get rid of a Harry Reid, Gov. Is suppose to protect it's citizens. Hey if you want your Butt Probed by a man; you are 101% sick. You quoted from Lev, we are not under the levitical Law as Christians.
Celeritas- Don't run out of gas, I know you got more than that. Hey but thanks for allowing me to help.
If the marriage law can't discriminate on the basis of gender, then what about age? Eighteen is artifically high for marriage without parental consent. Even a generation ago, sixteen was a common age of marriage.
What about bigamy and polygamy?
What combinations are equal?
Zuma rocks!
Surfers know gravity, guts and salty sand.
He was the first black president I ever voted for, except twice for Bill.
Back a couple a years, I heard a TV commentator going off about a meeting between Clinton and Obama and mentioned the 'Gravitas Gap'
As if the young skinny swirl-cone kid from Shy Town is a pipsqueek alongside this silver-maned titan from Hope.
Steeped in world-class presidentiality and post-modern accolades, honors and cigars, Clinton would, of course, completely outshine the poor skinny little lightweight.
Apparently this commentator had not actually heard Obama, seen Obama or even considered any of the numbers - just guessing by weight and color, you know, like always.
BawHaHaHa!!! Hypocrite!!!
We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government."
Then why Sharron Angle does your church rely on a government tax exemption to exist????
The church has faith in the government to insure funds to pay the bills, not God.
God told you to render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's. Go down to Lake Mead and pull a fish out with a coin in it's mouth to pay taxes for your church.
ZumaBound,
I completely agree with you and feel the same way. But I wish Harry Reid AND Barack Obama had fought the un-American Republican obstructionists harder. Obama, for example, didn't need to try to put together a "can't we all just get along" meeting. He should have simply said, "The Republican Party can go to hell. We're moving on without them." And Reid could have brought the hammer down by changing the House Rules to simple majority rule. Those are the only two reasons I'm unhappy with Obama/Reid, but that does not mean I am going to support any of crazy Sharron's angles.
Zumabounce: God Bless you. All I'm probably out for the day.
BAWHAHAHA!!!
We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government.
Sharron, does that idolatry include The Love Of Money???
Sharron, does tax loop holes and breaks for the wealthy and corporations = dependency upon or government???
And we know that once we have a majority that are dependent upon the government, we will lose our freedom.
So Sharron, you want a flat tax with NO complicated tax code with loop holes and perks for the wealthy, businesses and corporations.
"Attention Sharron"
Has GOD giving you a message on Gambling yet?????
What did he tell you????
Come on Sharron. Give us the word of knowledge you received.
Sharron has my vote. America needs more candidates with the moral fiber and conviction to uphold the oath they take to defend the constitution. The bureaucratic pigs like reid,obama,rangle,specter,dingle,conyers,waters,boxer,pelosi,dodd,levin,frank,mccain,snow,graham,ad nausium do not protect anything but their seats and hidden bank accounts. These bastards must be voted out if America will ever be great again. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to fight for their liberty and to leave them with a legacy free of multi-trillion dollar deficits.Get the corrupt unions and lifetime unethical polititions out.

"Martin Luther King was a Republican"
Of course he was a Republican. Back in the 1950's and early 60's, the Republicans were still the Party of Lincoln, and the Democrats were still the Party of Segregation. Then LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, with the support of progressive Republicans like Everett Dirkson, and the two parties swapped identities. Richard Nixon devised the "southern strategy," which allowed him to win the Presidency by playing on racist fears. Over time, the Dixiecrats became Republicans, dog-whistle politics came to dominate Republican strategy, and even the patrician George H. W. Bush decided to run against "Willie Horton" rather than on his enviable record. And a number of Republicans, including Jesse Helms, took to the stage to loudly object to making Dr. King's birthday a national holiday, as proposed by Democrat John Conyers.
Forty-two years after his assassination, does anyone seriously believe that Dr. King, if he were alive today, would still be a Republican?

"My conscience would not let me sleep if I showed ANY sign of respect for what they have done to the party of Abraham Lincoln!"
ZumaBound, I beg your pardon sir (or madam), your response to me yesterday was, "We get that you don't like having a black President." Yes we do have a black President; is there something wrong with that? I've noticed here and at other sites that the insertion of the race issue comes from those arguing for our President's views and not from those opposing his views, certainly not from me.
In a similar vein I read a lot of the arguments for the ground zero mosque as being in line with religious freedom. Again my concern is about this particular mosque and not the Muslim faith or the practice of religious freedom; there are over 100 mosques in the NY area. My concern is with the funding of this particular mosque (only $20k in the bank yet the NY city government thinks it's enough; they don't care where the rest is coming from; strange, I'd like to see any of us qualify for building at ground zero with only $20k in the bank) my concern is with Imam Rauf and his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (aka Humas) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. My concern is with Imam Rauf and his statements about Sharia co-existing with our Constitution and his desire to have government advisors concerning Sharia Compliance. I am concerned with new reports stating the Bin Laden Family is helping to fund this particular mosque. I am concerned about what this mosque "Cordoba" represents to Islamic Terrorists throughout the world in the aftermath of 9/11. Imam Rauf also blames the US for 9/11.
Finally, in my opinion, the mosque at ground zero is not about healing; it's not about religious freedom; it is about doing what is right. Permit me to use the example given by ADL's Abraham Foxman (at the israelmatzav blogspot) concerning Roman Catholic Carmelite nuns who had a convent at the Auschwitz death camp. In 1993, Pope John Paul II responded to Jewish protests by ordering the nuns to move. "We're saying if your purpose is to heal differences, it's the wrong place," Foxman said of the mosque. "Don't do it. The symbolism is wrong."
My original question is and still remains what is Reid's position on the ground zero mosque? His silence is similar to voting present and speaks volumes. Where is the leadership in keeping silent or trying to dodge the issue?
RedState's Erick Erickson to GOP/Republicans: Stop lying and admit you're the party of No."
Angle is by far the most in tune politician to come by in a long time.
You may say she is nuts, but deep down she is so accurate it makes a lot of the people feel guilty and ashamed. That's what you see here.
She understands more about the Constitution than Barack Obama, and well I don't even know if Harry Reid can read.
I think Harry is beginning to read the writing on the wall...
pmontg53, I don't think you are who you say you are, and I think you post under other names too. It's funny how your shuck-n-jive persona dosen't show up until about mid thread (stream)...but before that you sound a lot like a couple of someone-else's out here who happen to also sound a lot alike.
What gave you away is sociopaths usually don't go multiple in the same neighborhood. Your not lost are you?
@TheRealTruth: The real truth imho is, that Angle politican-wise tries to play the christian card to present herself as being closer to God, so voters could get closer to God by voting her.
The real truth comes out when we listen to her words proving, that she's even too dumb to properly play that christian card, which is all about forgiveness by God's grace without any chance for many earning that forgiveness by his proper work of trying to obey the commendments.
By trying to create the illusion to take voters closer to God when voting for Angle, she makes herself the devil in disguise by means of her own words playing it like: obey the commendments and vote for me and your soul will be saved.
Why should anyone vote for that kind of Angle's new religion stuff: obey the old testament rules and you will be saved? Not me, never, no way.
The real truth is: you can only be saved by your belief in forgiveness by Jesus having paid for our sins and defeated death and sins for all His believers. You can always talk to Jesus when you pray and confess Him your sins, there is no one inbetween, no Angle, no pope, no religious leader when you pray to Jesus, who regarding trinity is one third of the whole God thing.
Why can't Angle play the christian card right? Why doesn't she publicly pray before her interviews for the holy spirit to overcome her and the listeners (I'm not kidding right now)?
The real truth is:
Angle cannot play the christian card correctly, because she is not really a believer, but a religious fanatic believing in the old testament, trying to win an election.

The direct way to pray and talk to God is through Jesus, not by means of Sharron Angle, who presents herself as the devil in disguise everytime she opens her mouth to let the words come out. Read the new testament to prove Angle being a hypocrite, and remember the apostel Paul not being our direct way to God either.
Hey, Ms. Angle, if put these loudspeakers on your tour bus, just the Blues Brothers' way and play that song up and down the line during your campaign trip, I would promise you a life-time of fresh banana for you from the Banana_Joe:

Watch the movie. Take part in some Calvary Chapel Services (e.g. at Henderson). Listen to the word of God explained by some real pastors.

Well now let's see--who's gonna feed my mouth and pay my rent "Obama gonna do that" "Obama this" "Obama that" " Obama do this , Obama do that" Praise the liberal god, "Praise Obama" "go dirctly to the sewer, don't pass GO"
Sharon Angle and people like her are enemies of the USA and every principle this Nation was founded on. They would destroy democracy, establish theocracy and throw us back to the dark ages. What they really want is an American Taliban. Whenever a politician starts talking "biblical law", beware. She is a wolf in sheep's clothing, indeed dangerous and scary. And seditious! She does not believe in the Constitution, her allegiance is to a perverted ideology. She reveals herself in her own words, so thank you, Mr. Ralston.
Well let's see now who's gonna start throwing stones to share the love?
What a wonderful world!
I see now where the holy wing is coming to her rescue, saying, "oh yeah, we're holy like that. Yep, SharLron is a leader of the holy movement and we're a'backin her to do our outreach, make our inroads into the constitution, and soon we'll get our country back."
Now about this separation of church and state, well that's fine fer heathens, but OUR country is based on the love of Jesus, so we are #1.
Please understand how much I love the Lord. This is really the very best thing for you. You will thank me later for my unstoppable LOVE!
Appears that ZumaBound has been spending too much time in ZumaLand. Maybe it's just the ZumaSmokes...
For your consideration: It was ME at the age of 9 who decided I wanted to go to church and Sunday School and walked the mile it took to get there. It was ME at the age of 13 who decided I wanted to join the Youth Fellowship and attend evening Vespers with other like-minded teenagers. It was ME at the age of 17 whose church put up a scholarship for me to attend college because I could not afford to and I had graduated in the top 10 in my class. It was also ME at that age who decided my faith taught that service to others was a prime tenet of our belief and so I headed the Nevada movement to adopt the 18-Year-Old Voter Act. It was ME, again, at the age of 19 who saw through the hypocrisy of the older church members who were so pious on Sunday but lied, stole and cheated their way through the rest of the week. It was ME, at that age of 19 who decided I did not need a brick-and-mortar church to support the very deep and real beliefs I held, so I stopped going to church. Fortunately, my pastor understood my feelings and the scholarship continued through to my graduation.
I am a profoundly religious person. But I keep my faith to myself, in my heart, and don't press it on to other people. Their beliefs are their own, or lack thereof. To each his or her own. My spouse is an agnostic and we have been happily married for 37 years.
I am also a life-long Democrat who whole-heartedly supports the candidacy of Harry Reid and all that he HAS DONE, POSITIVELY, for Nevada and this great country.
I wonder why it is so hard to realize that deeply held religious beliefs would preclude sensible, cohesive thought when it comes to politics.
Sharron Angle, however, is the exception to the rule.

If your not under Leviticus law, on what do you base your hatred of homosexuals, on your need to criminalize them?
@ZumaBound: Thank you for your compliment.
@ All the rest of you: It never ceases to amaze -- and depress -- me that the tenor of politics in our country has become so polarized, so dissonant and partisan in the last 20 years or so. I am utterly astounded at the virulent movement afoot by the Republican Party in general to defeat the Obama Administration at ANY cost. The vitriol flows like blood from a suicidal Roman emperor as Republicans seek to castrate every Democrat or Democratic-sought legislation in this session of Congress. It's sickening to watch.
Our Founding Fathers (that the Tea Party so vociferously say espouses their beliefs) would be spinning in their graves if they could only see you now. The very first election held in the United States was between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. It was rife with pamphlets, orations, speeches and rumors, subjecting both candidates to much public scrutiny and disapproval. It was down and dirty. In the end, John Adams won, but only by a small plurality of the Electoral College. Jefferson had won the popular vote.
However, who did John Adams choose for his Vice-President? Thomas Jefferson. There are those who contend Jefferson was chosen FOR Adams, but Constitutional scholars dispute that.
In the end, both great men died on the same day, July 4, 1804. Both men, with their dying breaths, commended the other on a life well-led and well-played, praying their sentiments reached the other in time to be shared. Both men went to their respective graves with the other's name on their lips, with reverence and respect.
The second President of the United States had a tough administration, but he and Jefferson saw their way clear to work together to accomplish much of what our new nation needed in the way of bi-partisan leadership. Party affiliations were put aside in the search for leadership and strength for our young country.
Would that all of you could do the same.
Purple, you're a yellow brick road.
The girl from Kansas shows us the shameful truth, the explosion of projected lies and blustering rejection of the core that binds beneath party lines.
A Manhattan Project
A devious perspective destined to resonate
an appreciation of what we lose when we learn to hate
Two score and fifteen today we struck where no man struck before, and performed an instant replay in 3 days.
We had no choice but strike down aggression.
We taught the world quality.
Equality.
Diversity.
We gave our lives for people we didn't even know.
What happened to our politicians in 55 years?
Lesson One: Love thy neighbor. Lesson Two: If they don't love you, nuke them -- then nuke them again. Oppenheimer at Los Alamos Testing Ground: "I am the Bringer of Death". Hiroshima. Nagasaki.
Our legacy...don't mess with us.
We came together to triumph at the end of WW2 as a nation united during those horrible times. Now we flounder as a nation undone from within as we tear and scrap at each other while the world looks on. A great example: Democracy in action, true, but a failed republic is still a failed republic.
What horror will befall us before we once again become Brothers In Arms and put partisan politics aside to bring our country out of this massive economic hole we're in? The point is: TRADE BALANCE. We have none. We don't MAKE ANYTHING. We have nothing to offer the world market. Our finances are in ruin because we simply have nothing to offer of any value. Think about it. Why do you have a job? Or if you don't have a job at this time, why DID you have a job? Were you skilled at something? Did you offer a service or product for people to buy or to use? Then you were productive. You had a trade balance. You gave something they wanted; they paid for it; you prospered. What do we have now? NOTHING! We don't make one single thing the world wants right now, except cheap debt. Foreign governments are loading up on cheap, low-interest Treasury Bonds that we have no way of paying on. Does anyone even wonder what will happen when the bill comes due? How will we pay this massive debt?
Republicans would have us spending our way further and further into wealth-funded tax breaks and turn our country into a nation of "haves" and "have-nots". That's the end game. Remove the Great Middle Class. What you're witnessing is the anihillation of the American Dream, brought to you by your friendly, neighborhood corporation-loving, regulation-hating worms disguised as the Grand Old Party of Lincoln. Please. Lincoln wouldn't give the Republicans the time of day in this political climate. He would cry to see the Party of No as it has become. All with one, single-minded pursuit: to politically assassinate the person who stands for the one bright, shining moment in recent history where we put the best of ourselves on display for the world and elected an African-American President, a man whose dream was to bring change and hope back to America, and into whose path, at every turn, the Republicans have thrown up road barriers.
Shame on you. You're selfish, arrogant and unworthy of the offices you hold. You're a disgrace to our nation, but for the Love of God, you're all we have. Get a grip and get the country out of the ditch so someone with a clue can drive the bus back on the road to prosperity. Some of us will never see it again. I'm resigned to that. But I will not, not while there's a breath left in me, allow the wholesale destruction of the American Dream to take place while I can still cast a vote.
Hey PurplePower. You forgot to mention that it is George Bush's fault...
Yuppers, I'm impressed his being a lawyer and all! I wonder if that makes him an expert. (Drip under pressure.) Yes really impressive. I wonder if he doesn't really work in the health care industry, perhaps it's in one of those measly paying jobs in the health insurance industry. No wonder it was ok to breach the constitution entitling Americans to pay tributes to him. Reid and Max Baucus did a great service to the small insurance industry (and in the end it was for the good of the serfs, the end- means test his lordship knows all about)! Of course this lawyer is just playing with us with his Pelosi! (The term Pelosi sounds nicer than BS but the meaning is the same.) Pelosi! I wonder how much his lordship pays in taxes? Is he taxed enough? Obviously not! Pelosi your lordship! Maybe his lordship is one of the wall street types trying to get a job with Obama -- just like the one recently appointed but who managed to squeak buy (pun intended) the magic date so he didn't have to return his measly bonus. Yuppers I'm impressed. His do unto others stuff! And his turn the other check and do as I say not as I do routines.
An idea for your lordship, with Reid's newly found right in the commerce clause to entitle Americans to pay insurance tributes for their own good, why doesn't Reid wheel and deal for a law entiteling all Americans to vacation in NV. It's good for Americans to take a vacation; those still employed work-alcoholics need a break; it will reduce their health care costs and fix NV's future socialist state employment! It would also be wise to have Americans buy travel insurance too! Baucus would wheel and deal on that. Maybe Reid can wheel and deal with taxpaying pauper Kerry to have him moor his tiny boat in Tahoe because the state of MA doesn't need his tax. Yes your lordship you've got your work cut out for you! Why are you wasting so much time preaching to the choir here? Or perhaps you can have congressman Wangle open one of his forget me not tax shelter condos in NV too. Pelosi your lordship! Maybe Congresswoman Waters will wheel and deal too, after all she has some tiny connection to some small bank that mysteriously received its own entitlements. Yes your lordship, Sharon Angle would not and could not wheel and deal like Obama's man Reid! Pelosi!
Such revisionist history going on here.
1) The colonies weren't founded on religious freedom. The colonies were strict religious states, ruled by the church elders. They persecuted everyone who believed differently or challenged anything. How do you think the Witch Trials happened? You could only be elected to a political office if you were a church elder in good standing. Read a history book.
That whole Pilgrim story is half truths. They were "persecuted" because they wanted their religion to be in control of the country and for others to be persecuted for celebrating Christmas, working on Sundays...etc. It wouldn't happen in Europe- so they left and came to America where they could exclude and persecute to their hearts content.
2) Jefferson REWROTE the Bible. He took out the miracles and God, and left only those things that could be proven to be the teachings of Jesus- the MAN. So quote his Jesus references all you want, so long as you understand that his belief was that Jesus was a man, not the son of God, not resurected, and there was no holy ghost. He says he is a TRUE Christian- meaning he follows the teaching of Jesus they way JESUS taught them, not the way the Christian church teaches them.
3) Both John Adams and JQ Adams were Unitarians. They (along with Abigail) are interred in the basment cript of The Frist Unitarian Church in Quincy MA. Unitarians are just that- UNItarian, not TRINitarian. No Father, Son, Holy Ghost. God, yes (well, maybe) Jesus=god....nope. Jesus=son of God....nope. Jesus was a man who lived, taught, and was crucifed by the Romans. No resurrection, no praying to.... nothing. So again, quote the Adams' all you want about their belief in God...... so long as you understand where they are coming from in their beliefs.
Nowadays, Unitarians are not considered Christian by Christians. One can be a Unitarian and follow the teachings of Jesus, and yet not believe in a god.
3) Ben Franklin gave equal amounts of tithing to EVERY church and Synagogue in the area. He gave equally to all faiths, and often attended various services to learn about others and find his own way- and in many writings referred to himself as a non-believer, searching for the truth, or used Providence (aka luck) instead of god.
Now, maybe we can get back to Angle and Reid. I'm curios to know why people are voting for her?? She has really only spouted what is wrong with Reid and government; and nothing about what she will do if elected?
nitro,
you must be one of the warriors Angle is calling for, to stand beside her in her ideological war? To establish biblical law instead of our Constitution? Under biblical law a woman would not be allowed to vote, let alone hold public office. Actually, under biblical law there would be no voting. I bet you believe the earth is 4,000 years old and humans walked with dinosaurs.
Yes your lordship, can you spell Google or Bing? Do a little research on the good Imam. Please don't take my word for it. And if it's such a trivial matter for the citizens of NV (so say you your lordship) - perhaps Obama's man Reid could say so rather than being the artful dodger wanabe - sorry Obama wins there. Pelosi your lordship. On a more serious matter did you skip the Constitutional Law course and take Kagan's international law course instead? Maybe you could explain to Blue Jeans her rights under Sharia law. Did you just say Pelosi your lordship? Ah, turn your other cheek!

She doesn't really believe what she professes to believe. If she did, she would not be running for office. Why would an Almighty God need her to do his work? And I still bet you believe the earth is 4,000 years old and humans walked with the dinosaurs.

Her last name was previously "Bin Laden"
This lady has her head on backwards she quotes the bible written by someone we no not who ,she quotes our ancestors ,great as they were they lived in a very different world to ours ,and she cant do anything until talking to a non existing person every morning.
I would say beware of this woman with no mind of her own ,we must have leaders that make decisions on there own and not out if a book.
I must say this I am not anti religious
It's going to be sad times if Ms. Angle is elected.
One of the things that bothers me about Ms. Angle (and there are many), is that she seems to believe God loves her more than Sen. Reid. This is sickening on so many levels. Sen. Reid is well liked and respected in the LDS church and is a strong believer in his faith. While some people that know him may not agree with his political stance, they don't question his devotion to God or country.
What I have not heard (and I hope we never do) is Sen. Reid making disparaging remarks about Ms. Angle's religious beliefs. The whole question of religion should never have entered into the political discussion, and for that reason Ms. Angle should be ashamed.
I'm sure that Ms. Angle is also strong in her religious beliefs, but she is running for the Senate, not for Pope.
My personal opinion is that the GOP was so convinced that anyone could run against Sen. Reid and win, that they took it as a dare and put Ms. Angle up against him. It was either her or Bonzo the chimp. Too bad Bonzo's busy working on Gov. Gibbons re-election campaign.
So what exactly does Ms. Angle stand for?
God loves her and hates Harry Reid. I'm almost surprised she hasn't come out and said Sen Reid worships Satan.
The majority of her TV ads seem to focus on the fact that the economy was good, now it's bad. So it must all be Sen. Reid's fault. Only Tea-Party wackos are buying this one.
He does nothing in the Senate, but everything he does is bad.
Sen. Reid hates hard working rich people and loves welfare cheats and illegal immigrants. Just remember, it could be worse. At least he doesn't love his campaign manager's wife, a Playboy model or the guy in the next bathroom stall.
Sen. Reid and Pres. Obama hate the United States and want to destroy the country. I've been accused of smoking pot by a local AM talk show wacko just for pointing out how ridicules that notion is. That's funny, because she wanted to know where she could get some of it.
Oh yes... and we should give really big tax breaks to rich people because when we do they'll create jobs and hire lots of people and the USA will be great again. (Queue the cheering crowd, wave the flags) Because rich people don't really want to keep the money, but it's wrong to force them to give some of it to the government because the government can't do anything right. And she wants in on that gig.
She has no intention of going on any reputable form of media and stating her position and she's sure as heck not going to debate Sen. Reid.
And poor Michael Steel cries himself to sleep at night wondering "Where is Bonzo when we need him the most?"
Jesus christ, what a moron. Is this the best the republicans can offer as a candidate? I am a republican. Who are the morons that voted for this turd that wears a nancy pelosi haircut, and gets caught on tape repeatedly acting like a moron? I am voting none of the above in November. Or maybe an independant candidate.
buckbundy,
"Is this the best the republicans can offer as a candidate?"
Yes, one of the holy trinity: Angle, Palin and Bachmann.
Angle is a Reconstructionist who wants to establish biblical law in place of the U.S. Constitution. IF she is elected, she will be lying when she takes the Oath of Office:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
Ask the weather man about what Angle makes happen in her tour bus:

Of course, nitro, I had almost forgotten... all other commenters here are degenerated, imbeciles, because you are the only one here owing the right to comment. And you are the only one, who is always right.
Why don't you try something like rythm or rhyme here, if you still have a brain, that cannot only be used to pose in front of your mirror for hours, before you start to bash and name-call other commenters here?
Guess what: the game has changed, we are fed up with this kind of unfair behaviour. You do neither own the story nor do you own the commenting section and you're OUT OF THE GAME.
nitro sucks! Go away, nitro, take your bag with you and publish your degenerated agenda on another thread. Bye-bye. The other commenters here, feel "free" to post new comments:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBB2cO3xu...
@nitro: Why I even bother with responding to you is somewhat disconcerting, but as some others have noted, you are a person in serious need of help. I wish you well.
I didn't get back to read the posts or answer your questions because, well, I was busy with work. I am a self-employed business-person who works long, hard hours and employs about 12 people on a regular basis, more when things get busier. I am one of the people who will be affected by the repealing of the Bush tax cuts, and quite frankly, while I don't exactly embrace the prospect of giving up a little more money, I do not regret it for one moment either. I am actually quite proud to know that my position in life has enabled me to be someone who can actively make someone else's life better, or make the world a better place for them to live in. I stuggle yearly with budget problems but insist that my employees have decent health care coverage. I look forward to the implementation of the health care reform bill in 2014 as I have taken the time to do research and discovered there are many ways in which it will save me money.
I am seriously questioning why I am bothering to respond to you at all, but somehow ZumaBound is a bit of an inspiration to me. It seems we both like to write for a living. An honest living, by the way. What calling enables your finances, good man?
As I sometimes think, in my less than generous moments, why you would even bother reading the Las Vegas SUN portion of the paper when clearly the acknowledged Libertarian leanings of the Review Journal are much more clearly in line with your beliefs, I am once again reminded that our Founding Fathers made it their first priority to extend to you and all others like you the almost unconditional right to speak as you wish in almost any forum, to any extent you wish and direct it to whomever you choose. I only wish you would adhere to the newspaper's encouragement that you elevate the discussion rather than denigrate those with whom you do not agree.
It's no longer Democrat vs. Republican. With Sharron Angle, it's Democrat vs. THEOCRAT. Sharron Angle is a radical theocrat, with absolutely no respect whatsoever for that part of the First Amendment that prohibits the government from favoring any one religion over another -- AND from enshrining into law any religious doctrine that violates the rights of Americans guaranteed by the Constitution.
But if you think that Sharron Angle is an embarrassment to the Republican Party, imagine how much of a personal embarrassment she must be to the Pittsburgh-born professional wrestler who shares her surname.
Was an honor for me to help you out, Zuma.
From an actor's point of view I must admit having learned something from that twenty-somethings issue, you know, bro, the scene where that F-guy had to leave the team due to childish behaviour, therefore also many thanks to Kevin.
@nitro, please get your bag and GO HOME now. You're out of the race.
@Zuma: That arrogant little infant named nitro starts to use swearwords now, instead of showing up with something special, a rhyme maybe... he is really only an unflexible tool stuck with his agenda to publish it on and on, but inside of his brain: Nobody home. Unbelievable.
nitro- I agree; you seem to be holding them down pretty good, these Harry Reid pups ignor his slim pit of a record.

Chuck-Norris, I am not concerned about a spell check;you get the gist. What about Senator Reid's record? "which probabely is meant to be English". Hey Chucky- I get the gist, a typo doe'nt concern me, but Senator Reid's record does, let move on the his record please. What do you think about his voting record on illegal immigration?
Chuck, I've already knocked you out of the ring once, I have no problem doing it again.
Senator Reid Voted (NO) on establishing the Senate Office of Public Integrity. (Mar 2006)
You Reid supporters, why would senator Reid vote NO on an issue like this? Did he have something to hide? integrity; why would anyone vote against a bill that would make them more accountible to the public?
Harry! Your Chickens have gone to bed for the night
Hey: Get ordained or whatever you want to get. Then go preach your nonsense off camera.
For the record: Most of our founding fathers were deists. A Deist, to me ' is a guy who can't quite bring himself to say he's agnostic In the 18th century that was more understandable.. In any case guys like Jefferson and Madison were hell bent, pun intended, to keep the church, any church, out of our govt. Jackson followed through. Andy was a participating Protestant; yet he respected the Constitution's ban on mixture of church and state. Angle and a lot of the posters here need to read history and the Constitution before they make false claims.

"You Reid supporters, why would senator Reid vote NO on an issue like this? Did he have something to hide? integrity; why would anyone vote against a bill that would make them more accountible to the public?"
Maybe there were earmarks and other things attached to that particular bill that Sen. Reid could not vote for. Why not ask Sen. Reid? Did you read the entire bill before you asked that loaded question here, implying that he has something to hide? Then you should find out how everybody voted on it, before you start slinging your slime at the wall to see what sticks. 'Cause your Repugnants have had more than your share of "integrity" issues the past few years, present company included: Ensign.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The "Establishment Clause" of the first amendment is as clear as God's word to the believers. It is , in my view, the only law of the land that does not endorse , or forbids the endorsement of religion, in the world. It is the mark of our greatness that religious men could see the moral right of religion being left to the individual where it belongs.

To nitro,
FYI: I'm not a "his". You don't know my heritage, so your assumption that I hate it is absurd and you're projecting your own issues with your heritage onto me.
I have no idea what you mean about the future in the ancient greek/roman world, but if that's where you prefer to live, leave now. BTW, is that where they rode on dinosaurs?
ZumaBounce} Good to hear from you, let me get caught up with your post, and I surely will be back, I can tell you one thing you really need to be prepared, it's time to set you down, and give you a good edumacation! I'll be back...
ZunaBounce; sorry got bible study,after that I will answer what ever you say that I did'n
nitro,
You had to go and post that stuff about Jews. Are you a neo-nazi or white supremacist, or both? Because that's what I think now that you posted that stuff in your attack on ZumaBound, on a column about Sharron Angle.
Since you have been defending Angle and her biblical notions so vociferously, I have this to say to you.
There are people who claim they believe in the bible literally, and it's bad enough they thump their bibles wherein they highlighted the scriptures they like and tore out the pages they dislike. But then they shove that bible at everybody and demand everybody take it literally, yet they don't take it literally themselves. They think they know the mind of the Creator of the universe, and they're compelled to tell it to everybody the way they see it. They are convinced they get to heaven by right of exclusion.
You hate your own heritage, you numbskull. You are so ignorant it would be funny, if your hatred was not so sickening.
"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

nitro, I've got 2 words for you and they aren't "merry christmas". And the horse you rode in on, too.
nitro, you're a rabid junkyard dog.
FOLKS, I AM WITH GOD. With this lady, I do not know. We have been faked out before, and he used God and became president. REGARDLESS! REID OR HER ARE JUST JOB SEEKERS FOR LIFE! THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING AGAINST THE FED RESERVE AND THEIR CRONIES AND THE ELITE FEW!
Both parties are signing bills! Printing monies!
Republicans, you think your party did not take us to war with all the corruption with some circle of friends?? Democrats...always not so smart people, which is the truth, you can not tell me you are not corrupt, you signed those bills too, and your OBAMA hired the federal reserve people from the BUSH government.
Repubs and Demos supporters, research what the federal reserve is doing. The Federal Reserve is no federal than Federal Express!
Angle is mentioned by the Apostle Paul, when he describes those who add or detract from the final finished Word.
Her attempt's at using Jesus, God, or any reference to the Christian religion, is mere prostitution of Jesus for cheap political, and financial gain, in my humble opinion.
Beyond that, her hypocrisy, which is what Jesus hated the most, is that she collects and lives off her husband's pension. the one he gets from 37 years feeding at the government trough.
If she truly meant what she espouses, why not give her check to her church, and find a real job, instead of being a shill for the fringe element of apostate religions, and political groups that are close to being 1990's style miltia movements. Which in my opinion , she is doing exactly that.
No one in their right mind will vote for Senator Reid,ZumaBound I had to get that out there before I sit you down, and help you with your facts.

ZumaBounce,I don't have all day, you can come out and play now.
I went back to view some of what Nitro said, my agreement with him was based on one of the last post, I never saw the one that was taken down by staff, I do not agree with anyone who hate anyone because of their race. I do disagree with the democrat agenda, but I realize that is part of what makes this country great.
The Las Vegas Sun ran an article 8/10/2010 title mention police seeking two Hispanic males of a helpless elderly man, the police warn of a scam to get inside your home, they act like city workers: I don't know if they are illegal, but Senator Reid had a chance to protect Citizens of the United States, but voted NO on passing a bill that would help keep illegal aliens out. Shame on you Senator Reid- you were elected to PROTECT U.S Citizens, not illegal aliens
Sharon Angle is very stupid and shows all you need is money to run for office. She stands for nothing good. She is going to end the unemployment and the reason for this she says its not her problem. I didnt like Harry but that was until I saw Angle's stance on Nevada. Sharon if you cant say anything smart do us a favor and dont talk. Who cares about your relgious stance. What your beliefs are dont effect me you could worship the devil and I wouldnt care. If you are smart youll drop out of the race and let Harry win. At least he cares for Nevada.
Here is just one example of many- Bi lingual is a plus, Americans should not have to compete with foreigners for jobs, thanks Senator Reid, how can you vote for English not to be the National Law of the Land, when you vote on a Bill is it in English and Spanish?
Minimum Qualifications:
-Must be Punctual and positive attitude
-Must provide great customer service skills.
-Must be at least 18 years old
-Fluent in English /Billingual is a plus.
-Must complete a Successful Background Check and Drug Screening
-Must be to work well with others.
-Requires reliable transportation and valid Nevada DL.
-Ability to work an assigned shift that may include day, afternoon and nights
-Ability to work Weekends, Holidays and Extra coverage as requested by the Client
-Strong team and leadership
You Republicans and Tea Partiers let your big-corporation benefactors fire American workers and hire foreigners in their drive for "globalization" that picked up steam during the Bush administration. That's where the lie started about their tax cuts creating jobs. Corporations downsized here and "created" jobs overseas. The unemployment numbers began rising and wages dived during the Bush years, and you had Republicans and their corporation cronies in power. And they were so smug saying "the Democrats just don't get it". We got it, alright, we all got stiffed, including the "values voters" who voted for them because their preachers told them to. I remember Harry Reid saying the corporations taking jobs overseas are traitorous, and the loudest ones shouting him down then are the same ones blaming unemployment and the economic crisis on Pres. Obama and the Democrats now. I remember that Republican convention for the Bush re-election campaign, with all those fat Texans in their stetsons wearing purple band-aids. And people laughing at Bush wandering around the oval office looking for WMD. Seems you all forgot those defense contractors who robbed us with their reconstruction in Iraq, that's all falling apart now. Still can't get their plumbing and electrical systems straight. But that's all okay with the Republican voters who now want to send another bible thumper to Washington to "take down" Harry Reid, who's been fighting for their jobs, health care, unemployment benefits and social security, too. All Angle had to do was say God told her to run for congress and the sheep are lining up to put her there. Her only agenda is more power for the Republicans. You all better learn to depend on God to put food on your tables, pay your mortgage and gas-up your SUV's, like Angle tells you, because the Republicans in congress are hell-bent on taking away your last hope that you can do it yourselves.
She may be crazy but its still an upgrade from Old Harry. Remember Harry voted for the bailouts (72% of Nevadans disagreed), he voted for Obamacare (65% of Nevadans disagreed), and now he wants amnesty for illegal cockroaches stealing our tax dollars (76% of Nevadans don't support amnesty). He doesn't listen to the people of Nevada so who is he working for?
Nitro is a fool.
Makes me sick, too. And he was calling me a degenerate for defending Senator Reid.
pmontg53, you initially claimed not to have noticed the two questions that Celeritas posed to you in the second paragraph of her post, then dropped out of sight for a few days. Now that you have finally resurfaced, how about answering them?
To avoid any confusion on your part regarding what the questions are, I've taken the liberty of setting them forth separately for you:
(1) - "Thomas Jefferson owned over 600 slaves, do you believe he was guided by God, like Sharron?" Pmontg Answer: Who said that Jefferson was guided by God to own slaves, Jefferson was supposedly a deist.
(2) - "Or do you think God was just, you know, wink-wink, looking the other way?" Pmontg answer; God is always Just, man is a sinner, God is not, man will always be unjust, God does not like abortion, or men sleeping with other men, but man's laws say it's okay, man law said slavery was okay at that time, but it was unheard of, and against the law to commit abortion murder, and same sex cohabitation back then.
We look forward to hearing your answers.]
ZumaBound: History is one of my favorite subjects, Sharron the question about Thomas Jefferson owing 600 Slaves, how in anyone's mind can relate Sharron Angle to that? Sharron Angle does not own any Slaves. She never said that she condoned Slavery in the past..... In the 13 original Colonies almost all had their own separate beliefs, in fact they all were independent of each other, however in order to defeat the Brits they did come together, to compare what, and who Jefferson was, or was not isn't fair to Sharron Angle. Why she was not compared to Abraham Lincoln? Who supposedly freed the Slaves? It is absolutely disingenuous to compare a Modern day political candidate to Thomas Jefferson.
However America was founded on the Christian faith and John Brown was a White Christian Minister who died fighting for the freedom of slaves, why could she not have been compared to him? or some of the many other Whites who helped free Our Slave ancestors, No too many people who don't care about my ancestry try to exploit it for their own personal, and political reasons. Not saying that you are doing that, but the originator of this topic did. Now you have Senator Reid pandering to the Hispanic vote, telling them that no Hispanic should be Republican, When he insulted President Obama, who I respect as commander and Chief, saying that he is light skinned, and does not have a negro dialect". That is very racist; don't you think?
