Is the cross the next target of liberals and blacks ?

[Freewill]

funny world and USA these lefty progressives are building ehh . The Christian cross , lots of people of all races revere that symbol . Will be interesting to see as they go after it .

If you folks have not noticed they are already "going after it."

Apparently not here in Progressive California......there are large crosses on almost every third high hill here in San Diego County.

Didn't say they were winning every battle. I don't think they have much to say what is put up on private property.

What perversion? God states several times in the bible that no one should harm a child. You think killing one isn't harming them?

They are not children.

They are a creation of God, yes they are. No matter how you try and twist it.

Not a word in the bible regarding abortion, not that the bible is relevant to any discussion of what the law should or should not allow

You cannot support the killing of God's children and call yourself a christian. So therefore there will be no liberals in heaven. I guess that's why it's called heaven!

If it will be filled with assholes like you, it will be hell.

Telling the truth and hope people change their ways and live by God's word, is grace.

First off, yes I realize the Confederate flag issue has mostly to do with the location of where it is flown. The flag will still be flown on private property.
But let's face it, the very sight of it regardless of the location is frowned upon, and eventually due to pressure, it will completely disappear.

So what about the cross ? It's not supposed to be displayed on publicly owned spaces, government buildings, etc.

However, since the cross has a long history of being used to terrorize blacks, and is used as a symbol of the KKK, are we now headed for the day where the cross itself will be viewed as a racist symbol, and there will be calls for it to not be seen anywhere in public ?

Might sound ridiculous, but we all know how the left feels about Christianity, and they could use the racial aspect of this to rid the American landscape of this classic Christian symbol.

"Might sound ridiculous" Congrats on the largest possible understatement. Utterly ridiculous. Especially considering that African Americans are far more religious than white Americans, attend church in greater numbers and have proven to be better Christian than many of their white brethren.

Many blacks are Christian, and regularly attend church, no doubt about it. However between secular blacks, and white liberals, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that once the issue with the Confederate flag has been won, the focus could easily become the cross since it too can be seen as a symbol white superiority.

If the flag is seen as a symbol of slavery and white power, how can the cross be ignored when you consider how it was once used against blacks ?

Right Wing Christians have used the burning cross to inspire fear and terror. But there are good Christians. However, many right wingers in this country have warped that religion into something unrecognizable. In this country, when you think of right wing Christians, you think of discrimination, hate, violence, let hem die, feed the poor and they will breed, cutting school lunches for poor children and so on. If they truly believe in Jesus, they will have a lot of explaining to do.

No, that's what YOU think.

That's what I know. You only have to read what right wingers on the USMB or watch Fox to know the truth.

Coming from the head clown of USMB that means little. You do realize normal people laugh at you....don't you?

Most welfare recipients are white Republicans.

It s Official White Folks in Red States are the Biggest Food Stamp Moochers in the Country Americans Against the Tea Party

Statistics reveal that the city holding the most beneficiaries of the SNAP program (a favorite target of the GOP) is 99.22% white and 95% Republican. Owsley County, Kentucky earns the lowest median household income in the country, but they are the most prolific government-takers in U.S. existence.

Republicans, however, take the opposite approach; they believe tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires is what stimulates growth, all the while cutting programs that help the poorest in society.

The politics and demographics of food stamp recipients

Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to have received food stamps at some point in their lives—a participation gap that echoes the deep partisan divide in the U.S. House of Representatives, which on Thursday produced a farm bill that did not include funding for the food stamp program.

According to your numbers, that means over 37,000,000 whites have received food stamps and only 11,000,000 blacks.

And look at that, the same number of liberals and conservatives. Imagine that.

But it's not Democrats or liberals who hate the poor.

They have no say. That is the point. Religious symbols are private and should only be on private property

They are not children.

Whose God? You wanna live by your version of god's word, go right ahead. Demanding that others do as well is graceless.

Absolute idiocy. No one has suggested that the cross is a symbol of racism and should be banned. You are talking nonsense.

What is expected is that anyone displaying the flag on private property will be attacked. Eventually people will be too fearful and intimidated to display the flag.

Attacks should be met with serious firepower instead.

The headline of the story is so typical liberal. Calling welfare recipients moochers would seem to be very racist using liberal standards. Liberals, always good for a laugh.

God, you are a fucking idiot. You think that people will, all of the sudden, attack other people because they fly a flag? And you also think that is someone tries to take your ten dollar piece of cloth, you have the right to kill them? You and Dylann must be soulmates.

I see you are one of those libs who are, shall we say "percentage challenged".

Anyway, if you're a Dim you're over twice as likely to accept handouts.

Burning crosses are a symbol of racism; crosses that are not burning are not. Did you happen to see the cross on top of the AME church where the racist killed those people? Or the one inside the Church?

This is obviously the next straw man fallacy from the right.

That and the American flag.
Their MessiahRushie is telling the DittoNazis that the American flag is next.
He says that is because just looking at the US flag for an instant turns you into a racist, er.... er.... Republican for 8 months, so Libs will ban it next.
