Fucking disgusting.

“Take the Bible. Zachariah and Elizabeth for instance. Zachariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist,” Ziegler said choosing his words carefully before invoking Christ. “Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”

“There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here,” Ziegler concluded. “Maybe just a little bit unusual.”

  1. To compare Mary and Joseph to what Roy Moore, offends me as Christian.

  2. The auditor obviously does not believe in the Bible. If he did, he would not call Mary and Joseph the parents of Jesus. Mary is a parent of Jesus, Joseph is not. Joseph is merely married to his mother.

  1. Also, he’s defending a pedophiliac.

That’s why I said it offends me to hear Mary and Joseph compared to Roy Moore.

OFFICIAL MLB THREAD
Time

This was the thread that seemed the closest fit for this:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/11/08/boston-radio-host-calls-roy-halladay-a-moron-who-got-what-he-deserved/?utm_term=.3af36c76f3c6

Dear Felger,

Go bleep yourself! You are a piece bleeping s***. What a sick piece of garbage you are. You think Halladay deserved to die just because he chose to learn to fly and bought himself a plane‽‽ and you call him moron‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ No, the moron and sack of s*** is YOU. You are scum. Someone’s death should not be used for playing games and for shock jock purposes like you did. How do you think the family felt when then hear a jerk like you get on the air and say their loved one was a moron and deserved to die. BLEEP YOU. How would you like it if you had a loved one pass away and someone else said they deserved to die. Maybe he was flying his plane recklessly, that is a mistake but it doesn’t mean he is deserving of death. The thing is, the official cause of the crash has not been announced. So we really don’t know if he caused his on death. For all we know, there was something wrong with the place. I won’t say you are deserving of death, but I will say that you are deserving of getting fired and I almost wish you would get you a** kicked. BLEEP YOU, you a**swipe.

Sincerely,

The Warbler

P.S. I don’t buy your “apology” one damn bit.

The system works!

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-judge-20171110-story.html

Brett J. Talley, President Trump’s nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Assn.’s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial nominee, denouncing “Hillary Rotten Clinton” and pledging support for the National Rifle Assn.

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, approved him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.

Talley, 36, is part of what Trump has called the “untold story” of his success in filling the courts with young conservatives.

“The judge story is an untold story. Nobody wants to talk about it,” Trump said last month, standing alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the White House Rose Garden. “But when you think of it, Mitch and I were saying, that has consequences 40 years out, depending on the age of the judge — but 40 years out.”

Civil rights groups and liberal advocates see the matter differently. They denounced Thursday’s vote, calling it “laughable” that none of the committee Republicans objected to confirming a lawyer with as little experience as Talley to preside over federal trials.

“He’s practiced law for less than three years and never argued a motion, let alone brought a case. This is the least amount of experience I’ve seen in a judicial nominee,” said Kristine Lucius, executive vice president of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.

You have an interesting definition of “The system works!”.

With all due respect to people’s religions, it irks me when politicians tell me that I need to pray. I’m not religious, and we are supposedly in a country that values separation of church and state. Yet every time some catastrophe happens, the first thing politicians tell us is that we need to pray. Not “pray if you’re religious”, but “we need to pray”. While I don’t mind if people want to pray, I don’t appreciate politicians telling me that I need to become religious.

It’s not a big deal, it just irks me. I realize I’m probably in an extreme minority.

Eh, there’s this whole “separation of church and state” thing that literally everyone seems to have utterly forgotten in this country, so you’re not alone there.

No one is forcing anyone to pray.

Correct me if I’m wrong (which I probably am) but haven’t school kids been required to hold their hands on their hearts and recite “Under god” everyday since 1954? Seems close enough to mandatory prayer to me.

You are talking about the Pledge of the Allegiance. I would not object to the words “Under God” being removed from it, especially since those words weren’t originally in the Pledge.

I don’t know that he was saying never pray publicly, just don’t do it if you are only doing to be seen doing it.

Even so, that is what they were doing; or if it was not, it is unclear that it was not. Which makes it a bad idea either way and means it still is relevant.

It is unclear to YOU. It is not unclear to person doing the public praying or to God. If I pray publicly and my motivation is unclear to You, I am still going to pray. I know my real motivation and so does God.

Let me be clear about “publicly.” There is a difference between you praying and being in a place where people see you do it, and doing it with the intent or in the knowledge of people watching or else calling other people to do it in a non-worship setting.

Calling fellow believers to pray in a setting among them is different from calling anyone and everyone via social media or television broadcast.

Sorry but asking for prayer via social media or television broadcast doesn’t seem wrong to me(unless done disingenuously).

Everything Paul Ryan does is disingenuous.

mayhaps. But I am not a mind reader.
