Can it get anymore batsh*t crazy Angle: Muslim law taking hold in parts of US Really? Seriously? Could she be any more stupid than this?
Looks like someone hasn't been paying attention. (previous two posters) My definition of "insane" is Harry Reid. You want batshit crazy, look at him.
When a politician scares people, or tries to, why aren't they called out more often? Why do we let politicians tell us "such and such is destroying the country, or will destroy the country, so that's why you gotta vote for me!" I wish there was a way to publicly rebuke this BS immediately and in a punitive manner. Scaring people to get what you want is a light form of blackmail in my opinion.
I don't think Harry Reid is insane, just horribly misguided and perhaps even unscrupulous. This woman, however appears to be deranged. Great choices the people of Nevada have before them.
The AP article makes it sound worse than it is. If you actually read what she said and consider the fact that she was responding to a "red meat" question from one of her audience members, it sounds to me more like she's responding based on sound byte understanding of something that happened in Detroit a while back. So basically, she's responding based on limited knowledge of a situation - kinda like Obama did that couple of times. Does anyone disagree that we shouldn't be governed by Sharia law? Then I guess we have no problem!
Thanks for the link, AB. I will point out that no candidate actually said that or endorsed it. Unlike, Angle.
This from Prod "Does anyone disagree that we shouldn't be governed by Sharia law?" seems to me the point Angle was making. My guess is she referenced Dearborn due to the Christian group being arrested on public sidewalks outside a muslim event. IIRC those charges were dropped but the fact is they should not have been arrested. My guess also is that she referenced Frankford Tx but meant Arlington as there was a divorce/ property case between Muslims that was allowed to be settled by the Islamic court of Richardson in the same manner that mediation or arbitration is allowed Surely there can be NO WM poster who thinks sharia law should be allowd any foothold in American governance. is there?
yo Where are you running for office> I need to send a huge contribution to your opponent. seriously what did she say that has you so outraged?
Sharia law would be unconstitutional in the US. You could chose to follow parts of it as an act of faith, but imposing it on others would not be possible absent a repeal of the 1st Amendment.
paso That is good to know and I respect your opinion. I thought our founding fathers came to a new raw land to escape laws elsewhere. So for anyone to suggest we should pattern our laws on other countries laws seems back asswards. Consider, yes, pattern and or adopt in place of? No
BHO is a master at scare tactics....just a quick google pulled up the following "Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing. Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most. And more will die as a result. We know these things to be true." his address to Congress regarding Obamacare or To lift the economy out of crisis, Obama introduced an economic stimulus package and crafted a new bank rescue plan. “Doing a little or nothing at all will result in even greater deficits, even greater job loss, even greater loss of income, and even greater loss of confidence,” Obama said this week. “Those are deficits that could turn a crisis into a catastrophe.” Last week he wrote in The Washington Post: “Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.” Using language to play on public fears could scare people into supporting Obama. It could also push them in the opposite direction.
yo, just providing the proof some where begging for on this thread..I could do it all day with BHO...all he does is put his foot in him mouth and he is very predictable. they financial scare to pass Tarp was the worst...both parties are guilty and fully supported it. what was the rush. same with obamacare..why hurry because it was political...no one had even read the bill. regarding Bush 2002, we just had an attacked on our homeland....all the evidence (the world and both parties agreed) that we needed to take action, but nice try.
