No question where the righties want to take America

[Empire23]

Did it mention anywhere in the story that the government had any involvement in this?

This seems to be the "art" of a church and what the CHURCH wants, not the "rightys."

I am not political in any way either, so im not trying to defent or promote either wing.

72-foot monument in Hickory Hill to be unveiled on July Fourth

By Whitney Boyd
June 29, 2006

As drivers wait for a green light on Winchester Road, they automatically lean their heads forward to view the 72-foot sea-foam-green Statue of Liberation overlooking Hickory Hill.
The towering replica of the Statue of Liberty -- with a few Christian touches -- is being erected in front of the 12,000-member World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church at Winchester and Kirby Parkway.

The christshun right, neocons, and the whole repug party are inseparable.

Im not saying they dont have their connections, but you posted this and make it sound like the government erected this thing in D.C. or NY.

I dont like Bush myself for alot of different reasons, but I dont agree with your first post in the thread.

I'm sorry to see that people don't recognize the path the present admin, and the repugs in general, would like to see this Country head down. The fact that these religious right wack-jobs want to see this Country turned into a christian theocracy should be a grave concern to all.
The fact that they would defile a symbol of inclusion of all people, and turn it into a exclusive symbol, is disgusting on so many levels.
The fact that the mainstream repug party supports these very kinds of exclusionary tactics should also be a concern to every American. They are no different than the radical muslims they pretend to be so against.

And this has to do with Cigars how?

I thought the cloth they have wrapped around the statue oddly resembled a cammie wrapper.

What an incredibly ignorant comment. 12,000 christian extremist build that abomination and you want to lump them in with the Republican Party??? Come on DVM, that's like me saying that every ultra liberal is your average card carrying Democrat.

If the point of your post was to point out how nuts these people are, that's fine with me , but if your goal was to take a pot shot at the GOP by liking them to these nuts then shove it

The GOP is dead and gone. It's been over-run with the religious right wack-jobs and their neocon suck-ups. I didn't say all registered repugs were like them. However, they all support the nut-jobs every time they vote for the neocons that pander to them, and are therefore tied up with the whole pile. So, I'm not saying the "GOP" is like them, I'm saying they are them. Now what was that about panties in a bunch?


Empire,
Take a look at the religious attitudes, opinions, and actions of the present administration. That's why I include them in with these types of religious groups, because they have the same goals. Hell, dumbya claims to get his marching orders directly from god.
Anyone who claims that is seriously delusional, and has no business holding the position he does.

Yeah, can't have a discussion with this guy. I'm done. Sorry to clog up the board.

I know I'm going to piss off a few people however, screw it.

All these POS political posts coming on this board have NOTHING to do with cigars. I'm sick of seeing them. You want to post your political view, fine, go find a political board and post your views.

I'll quote Hex..

I'm not going to go and flat out ban these types of discussion unless they become a major problem. But I do ask that you use your judgment when making these posts. Ask yourself "How will this topic help us grow stronger as a community of Cigar Smokers?". Think before you post. [/COLOR]

Your political views whether right, left, up, down, over the hen who gives a crap…don't help us grow as a community.

If it helps us grow as a community, please post. However posting something as bait so you can spew your nonsense don't help the boards.
