You talking about moral relativism is laughable....you the person who doesn't consider statutory rape to be "rape rape". :roll:


:roll:

Congratulations, you just proved you have absolutely no integrity. I have never said anything to that effect. In fact, I think an adult having sex with a minor to be rape, even if the child thinks they want it cause most likely the child was brainwashed into it and the adult is using their power and authority to take advantage of the youngster in a heinous fashion.

To even make that kind of bs, attack on me is despicable, not that I'm surprised that you would attempt that kind of attack.

You're right, I confused you with the other right wing ideologue (Jacoby). That's my bad...but your reaction is hilarious considering how much you do the exact same thing to Orwell.

but believe me if they could get away with it they would


They often get away with it. That's how Prop 8 here in California passed... they put the fear of 'the gay' into god fearing folks by lying to them and making them believe we would trample on their rights.

That doesn't mean I'm going to say a politician can't have his religion.

Absolutely a politician should be allowed to write a book on faith, or whatever subject they choose.
