I always thought the way the Pledge of Allegiance is recited in schools felt cultish. The one saving grace of the Pledge is that it contains the two words "under God." That means that each person's allegiance to God, to conscience, to doing right must always come ahead of allegiance to country. It distinguished us from the Soviet Union which asserted that it should have absolute loyalty from its people.

The fact that its cultish and the fact that it contains the words 'under god' are why my kids don't say the pledge!

Anyone can claim to support anyone. Maybe all the people saying Hillary's deplorables comment was correct were actually Russians being paid to post online and we shouldn't have gotten so upset at the liberals after all!

Sure they can.

But Bernie's campaign last time around paid women less than it paid men. That's super disappointing, not to mention the claims of sexual harassment that went overlooked. Bernie Sanders has definitely attracted some very toxic supporters, despite having a very positive and important message. I wonder how much we can count on those people to get more people like Bernie and AOC and yes, Warren, in office and less people like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Too many people like Bernie for being outside the establishment, rather than the good message he has. And that's a problem.

Honestly calling the snake thing sexist is a stretch. I saw lots of women using it too.

Ahh right, women can't be sexist against women. Just like black people can't be racist against black people. Guess Phyllis Schlafly is off the hook for all her sexist crap.

I can see the argument both ways for pass interference being a spot foul but I'm also on the side of it being better as a 15 yard foul.

Then there'd be no reason to NOT commit pass interference outside of 15 yards.

Politicians should be punished more severely for crimes committed while in office.

So if Joe Schmoe gets 5 years in prison for a crime
If Joe Schmoe were an elected official, he'd get 10 years for the same crime if committed while he was in office.

i'll be honest, i'm not sure where you're going with this. it's drifted from the subject matter of "using the __ card" to... i'm not sure? best i'm getting is that you don't like it when politicians use their religion as a positive identifying factor because you don't feel like they're oppressed but you do find politicians using identifying aspects of them which have been traditionally marginalized as positives? it's still the same concept of using __ card, you just favor one more than the other, there's no objection to that.

Mainly I find it unfair how "She's playing the woman card!" will be called out much quicker than the "He's playing the Christian Card!" Especially when women have been marginalized (and you can fit so many other groups in there, from atheists and jews to gay people and hispanics), while Christians definitely haven't. (Even if they feel oppressed because they can no longer force their beliefs on others)

I mean I had a neighbor tell me sometime back that he doesn't think a woman could run the country because women aren't stable enough. It's an idea that still needs to be fought against, so when women run for President they kind of have to deal with this sort of shit while almost nobody would probably ever say "I don't think a Christian can run the country because Christians aren't stable enough."

Board 8 Mafia Archive: ashchive.altervista.org

To continue from the last topic...

Christians have never been marginalized. They only feel like they have been. Yes, the 'nuclear family' is dying, but they're free to have a nuclear family if they want one. They don't have to have an abortion, and they don't have to marry someone of the same sex if they don't want to. Their rights have not been infringed because of their identity as Christian.

---

Board 8 Mafia Archive: ashchive.altervista.org

Sure, but even with those issues they've never been marginalized. Nobody has ever denied them a right in this country because they are Christian.

that they do and it plays well because that's the point. those who heavily pander to evangelicals can do really, really well in districts that are like that but the second they're out of it they collapse. religion is a super easy one to play up because you don't need infer or add additional reason to it - you've got a clear belief system attached to it. all that said the limit is pretty clear as when it broadens elsewhere the religion card tends to piss off everyone else. and of course what's their reply to that? "what, you have a problem with God?" "this is a Christian nation you know!" if that sounds like an eyerolling idea, congrats, we're of the same opinion. just extend it to any other __ card.

Yeah, but there's a huge difference between "Hey, we've never had a female President before. A woman winning will be smashing that glass ceiling!" and "We're a Christian Nation!" One is a group that's been long marginalized and had their identity become an obstacle for them, and the other is a group that only thinks they've been marginalized because some stores decide to say "Happy Holidays" instead of a specific "Merry Christmas!"

Women make up 50% of the population. They should obviously make up at least 35% of congress and the senate. Yet, they haven't even accounted for 20% until 2019! That's crazy when you think about how literally more than half the population are underrepresented in our government.

Republicans play the Christian Card all the time. It plays very well with evangelicals, and you rarely see anyone say anything about it. Nevermind that we've had about all but 3 Presidents who clearly identified as Christian. And even those 3 are probably somewhat arguable.
