Craig, I think that by using the term "big tent", that pretty much says we're NOT talking about a fringe and a huge constituency. The problem is, however, that those Republicans who are farthest to the right seem bound and determined to denigrate anyone who isn't that far right as a RINO. On another BB, I read references to Scott Walker as a RINO, which almost caused me to fall off my chair. Walker, whatever else you may think of him--and he was never one of my top choices for the nomination--has a record of REAL conservative accomplishments. For example, switching WI from a union shop state to right to work. I only know of one other Republican governor--Mitch Daniels in Indiana--who's done that any time recently. That and giving WI concealed carry for the first time. If Walker's a RINO and he's going to be pushed out of the tent because he's not conservative enough, then the Republican Party is in very serious trouble.

Perhaps the entire comment will clarify.

The sad truth is that the getting re-elected hinges on nothing more than a pragmatic what works and as soon as it is politically expedient gun owners will finds themselves friendless and alone - and likely gunless. Just recall that not long ago the cons controlled WH and Congress and how much good came in your direction then. The NRA has been nobody's' friend except themselves (new buildings, pay raises, etc) for decades and has done nothing to promote some rational approach to opposing the anti's. But they have managed to promote the nutcase-with-a-gun image in so effective a way that I have to wonder who they really represent.

and nothing says ReTard like Trump, et al. Or I should say "screams".


have another day
Dr.WtS

We saw your entire comment the first time Dr. Wanker. Actually, quite a bit of good came our way when the Conservatives controlled the WH and Congress. Bill Clinton's Assault Rifle Ban was allowed to expire without the predicted rise in firearms murders. Concealed Carry was expanded nationwide. Pro-2nd Amendment Conservative Supreme Court Justices were confirmed which led us to the landmark 2008 Heller and McDonald decisions. Shall I go on?

Then in 2013 when your boy Obama was pushing real hard for extreme gun control measures such as semi-auto bans, large cap magazine bans, and Universal Gun Registration aka Universal Backgroud Checks, the NRA you so like to denigrate mobilized gun owners and lobbied Congress to give your boy his most stinging defeat, and a great victory for gun rights.

have another day yourself, and try to get your facts straight next time. Go outside and wipe the dirt off of your Hillary bumper sticker.

Monitoring the thread in case someone says something nice (thanks Wonko, George & others)

I'm just stunned by the degeneration of our culture in which grown men can anonymously insult each other, while hiding behind their keyboard persona and the cowardly and specious argument of personal safety and security. If your cyber-, home-, personal security is that inadequate, move into the desert and get off the grid.

1. Recognizing cowardly behavior is not the same thing as calling another man a coward. But by calling others a �jerk�, �Muslim sympathizer�, �clown�, �anti-gun troll� or �Fudd� we can make them �not us� and dismiss their arguments as having no value or meaning, while establishing our own as having validity while retreating emotionally and intellectually into our �like us� bubble.
2. Recognizing narcissistic and sociopathic ass-like behavior is not being �hypocritically judgmental� when it�s the truth, and some here have crossed that line.
3. Calling out inappropriate speech/words ie. "libtard" is not hypocrisy.
4. I don�t care if a poster goes by �Minnie Mouse� if he has questions/contributions to make regarding doubleguns. If someone wants to attack another here however, he should have the courage to use his real name. And I�ve not �outed� anyone�s real name, because it�s not my place to do so.
5. I�m still disgusted that Dave once referred to participants here as �kids�, and said so on Misfires. I assume he wouldn�t say that face-to-face to his personal physician, pastor, or the senior executive of the firm he works for. That is a highly inappropriate put-down toward other adult men and women whose participation and contributions (knowledge and money) maintain this website, and motivate the advertisers.
6. Global anger and free-floating hostility is toxic; to our health and our relationships. Maybe each of us should examine how many friends we still have, or family members still talking to us.

Keith: don�t �proof text� Scripture unless you�ve done the hermeneutic. Galatians 6:7 says �God will not be mocked.� Really.

Sorry. Facing bad roads in a 3rd world county, and another nice case of Giardia tends to bolden one up.
I do try to follow Richard Baxter of Kidderminster�s advice
http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/meetthepuritans/richardbaxter.html
�The True and Only Way of Concord of All the Christian Churches�, London, 1680. (Quoting Lutheran theologian Rupertus Meldenius)
"In essentials unity; in non-essentials liberty; in all things charity."

I have to be brief because I have to leave, but...

I thought you were taking a leave from us Drew. No surprise that turned out to be a load of crap too... far worse than your giardia induced diarrhea. Still trying to justify the hypocrisy of your personal attack on Jim, Dave K, and me, but it isn't working. Your disdain and disgust is so one-sided and biased by your obvious leanings, that any validity you might have as a preacher is as hopelessly eroded as those third world roads.

Can you show us where I "proof texted" Scripture" or mocked God???... I mean in several months when you come back... since you aren't here now... even though you are.

The little smiley face next to your name is lit up yellow which indicates you have been frequently logged on ever since you told us you were leaving. Where have we seen this before? Oh Last Dollar!

A real man does not play the victim. Both sides apply. I'm not a victim of anything because I refuse to be one.

Hillary isn't a "con" she's a liberal who should be a con...as in convict. The Clintons are like the Snopes family in Faulkner's books...grasping, amoral, ambitious.

Trump is an idiot, but I'm going to reluctantly vote for him. A lot to do with who's against him and a Johnathon Edwards insistence of Biblical orthodoxy. Politics and religion should NEVER mix.

How anyone can support Hillary is beyond my comprehension as that stinkin crook should be either in retirement or in jail. Granted we can't put a former first lady in jail but she should do us all a favor and show some gratitude for not putting her in jail by retiring from public service.

And if you can't bring yourself to vote for Trump then vote for Pence who put his political career on the line trying to shield the small business owners in Indiana and especially the Christian small business owners from this whacked out Federal government. (See what happens when there is a Democrat in the White House?). He stuck his neck out for you the least you can do is go out and vote for him.

Two food for thought comments if it's okay. First, the left wing allows the most vile of their fringe into their tent and demands that they help write policy at the highest level. But, reviewing those particulars would certainly be beating the ole dead horse.

Second, I can appreciate your Walker thoughts, but is it put into practice? What do we make of those who claim to be on the high road, but would write similar of an actual candidate, not just an example? Aren't 'we' in trouble if decorum and civility means a 'never' vote chalks one for the other tent.

First post: "I'm preparing for another trip to Guatemala"
Didn't say when I was leaving Keith, and not clueless enough to give the dates of the trip. Try again.

Rev Doc Drew been praying for you and us and them and they

Been focused on the last half of the 1st chapter of Romans.
