Objecting to oppression carrying out in God's name is a good thing.  Objecting to people talking about their faith in public is against both freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and makes you the would-be oppressor.

Not if the only result of your objection is that you don't vote for them. Choosing not to vote for someone does not make you their "would-be oppressor."

I'll agree with that, but IIRC GF and other posters have called for banning public displays/mention of faith.

Airing your beliefs is fine. If they include fictional characters you do however come across as a kook.

I don't recall that.  But there has been lively debate of where the separation of church and state should be appropriately placed.

I wouldn't be in favor of that, but I would be excited if there was even one politician in DC who had openly admitted to being an atheist and still won their election.

Nice, didn't know about him.  Still ridiculous that there isn't more.

Yeah that is weird that people still hold it against candidates in this day and age.

QuoteHope Hicks: Long-time Trump aide to resign

Hope Hicks, the White House communications director and one of President Trump's longest serving advisers, is to step down, the administration says.

The 29-year-old former model has been by Mr Trump's side for years.

During the campaign, Ms Hicks served as press secretary.

She took over as the head of the White House communications team last August, after the abrupt firing of Anthony Scaramucci.

Little white lies.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And noticeably worse on the job training.

It's funny because it's true.

Of course, that's because, by-and-large, someone running a McDonalds knows how to run a restaurant, while Donald Trump has no idea how to run a government.

Indeed.

Gun forums are in an uproar about Trump's gun meeting today. I lol'd.

Personally I think it's a ploy by Trump. Shrewd to be sure.
