He is trying to have his cake and eat it too. He is clearly going after the evangelicals with the speech. As a result, he wants to tell them not to pay attention to his particular brand of faith (or any other faith) because it doesn't matter. Then he realizes that it DOES matter to many people, so he tries to sell them on his faith. He is wanting it both ways. Are you trying to give Ecuaboy a run for his money? |

As for your atheists argument, show me a single statement in the entire speech that urges tolerance for non-religious Americans. Instead you will find: freedom requires religion, be tolerant of all religions, those who promote a secular America are wrong and are ruining the country, etc. |

Several of the non-denominational commentators on CNN INtl. yesterday morning immediately noted the lack of reference to or inclusion of atheiosts and a-religious viewpoints. THey still liked the pseech, but that omission was readily apparent to them.

I still think it is reaching. And begging your pardon, but Cali's not exactly known for his balanced approach.

If you agree that conservative commentators made the same point I made, and if you agree that other commentators, like on CNN, made the same point I made, then are you going to say that each of those commentators as well are just "being an idiot?" And what happened to your position that "There's no way Romney's speech could be construed to advocate or condone intolerance of atheists, except by braindead California lawyers who must find SOMETHING wrong with the speech." Are the conservative commentators also brain-dead California lawyers? That just doesn't make sense! |
