Pantano Wades Into Sharia Firestorm at CPAC

Stay strong!! Fight the good fight.

Jamcam69 that type of comment in itself is Devisive, offensive statements happen; its a way of life. This president is teatering on the destruction of our understanding of life as we know it today. freedom isn’t cheap it was won and now it is being destroyed from within. control is thier goal thinking we are incapable of ruling ourselves. our nation was formed by men with insight !!! they created the founding Documents in belief that free men could govern them selves better then any dictator. Freedom itself would be the best tactic at world stability. but to many nations are set in thier ways , our problem is to many of our Representitives are profiting from these other countries giving our luxuries away to foreigners. without any regret about our common man or his welfare.

William you are wrong. You never even honestly addressed Jamadagnii’s comment on the DIVISIVENESS of Pantano’s comment on same sex marriage. In fact you completely ignored it. She is correct, that remark IS offensive. Why can’t all conservatives just accept the fact that gay people exist, we have the right to exist and further, that our government needs to keep it’s big fat, expensive, intrusive nose out of OUR business as well? Some of us identify as American FIRST, and guess what? The same out of control government that tramples ALL OVER the lives of supposed “true conservatives” does the SAME damn thing to every other American including ME, a gay conservative.

Have a great day. Stay safe, all of you.

To expand on gullah’s comment and just lay this out there: The liberal agenda to legalize same sex marriage is a means of opening the door for polygamy and by extension the sharia.
Personally I’m opposed to gay marriage, but then I’m conflicted – part of me thinks that gay folks have every right to be as miserable as straight married folk.

I don’t intend to wade into a fight about gay marriage at this time and place. Some of the comments must be refuted however; for instance, the concept that gays should not expect equal rights because doing so would bring in sharia — not exactly a rational line of thought. Allowing sharia law in our courts is what will bring in polygamy, not gay rights.
For those interested in a reasonable argument based on the Constitution, as opposed to their own emotional biases or religious interpretations, I recommend the following video. Lawyer Ted Olson, a noted conservative legal expert, who is arguing the case for gay marriage, is interviewed on Fox by Chris Wallace. I’ve seen other excellent interviews with Olson and David Boies on this topic, some more recent in connection with the latest Prop. 8 ruling, but this one explains why “gay marriage” is not a redefinition of marriage and is not a threat to our liberties or way of life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJwSprkiInE&feature=player_embedded

“Allowing sharia law in our courts is what will bring in polygamy, not gay rights.”
No, Gullah, I have already heard the argument made, “Why can’t two or three or more people who love each other and want to be married as a group get married?” and the arguer was not muslim, but a person who was extrapolating from the idea that if two people of the same sex can marry, why not ….
My only concern about homosexual marriage is that it opens this door — and it does!

Pantano said: “Sharia and Islamic law are fundamentally incompatible with the American way of life. To deny that fact is to deny the Christian underpinnings of our society and the Scriptural doctrine, which is the source for our morality, law, and culture.”
No. The underpinnings of American culture and its political system are reason and the recognition of individual rights. If it were truly based on “Scriptural doctrine,” the difference between Muslim and American cultures and societies would be barely distinguishable, and a blog site like Atlas Shrugs would not be possible in either. The altruism of Christianity is also incompatible with the American way of life. “God” had nothing to do with it. People, will you get a clue! I’m growing tired of Islamic jihad and stealth conquest being opposed by advocates of another irrational “faith.”

Same sex marriage is NOT OK! Homosexual men
Can live together all they want but do not warrant
A legal status.

Pantano cites “the Christian underpinnings of our society and the Scriptural doctrine, which is the source for our morality, law, and culture.” So we can’t tolerate Muslims because we are ruled by Christian scripture? The unfounded fear about Shariah law dominating the United States arises from these folks seeing themselves in the mirror, imagining an enemy who seeks to impose religious law the same way they seek to impose Christian scripture.

the majority of the US (52%) now are in favor of gay marriage.
and why is that most everybody 30 and under believe that gays have a right to get married? doubtful it comes from home schooling .. probably from the leftist agenda pushed onto the leftist NEA and forced into the curriculum in every public school in the country JUST EXACTLY like the BS propaganda of global warming, amnesty for illegals, ‘medicinal’ marijuana, and the government granting of rights

@ Auntie Izlam You’re welcome and I thank you. Nice to know that there are others who are open to a rational approach to a very irrational subject, i.e., sex.

“Pantano is a filthy war criminal.” that’s quite an allegation you’re making there, dirty.. wanna give us about 70-500 linx to back that up?

@ “gullah” I stand by my comment because it is the truth
And “D. Sanchez” my last comment disappeared but I too would like some proof. You forget that fighting a war is not easy but fighting an asymmetrical war is nigh impossible when one side has no rules and any “civilian”, man , woman or child could be the enemy. Could it be that someone who wishes to be elected is using this smear campaign to promote his cause? Again, where’s the proof?

@ “Ornery Eagle” I beg to differ, I’ve met homosexual Christians who are far better examples of good Christians than the supposed heterosexual good Christian. In my experience it’s the “good heterosexual (fundamentalist) Christian that desperately needs to learn the meaning of the Golden Rule. These supposed “good Christians” are the most hateful , nasty group of people I have ever come across. Any excuse to attack homosexuals will do, even if the topic is about something else. They try to hide their hatred behind their scriptures and they profess love for their enemies but they are liars and either to blind or too stupid or too brainwashed to see themselves for the spiritual hypocrites that they are.
Matthew 7:16 “By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?”
And
“Do unto others what you would have them do unto you,” a staple of most religious traditions, is a philosophy known as the golden rule.
And from the encyclopedia of Judaism:
“The generally used appellation for the statement in the New Testament (Matt. 7:12; Luke 6:31), “As you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise.” This is no more than a rephrasing of “Love your fellow as yourself” (Lev. 19:18). Hillel (1st cent. BCE), when asked by a gentile to teach him the entire Torah “in a nutshell,” produced an operative rewording of this same idea, “Whatever is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow” (Shab. 31a). Hillel also phrased this positively (Avot 1:12): “Love all creatures.”
Most of the so-called good Christians I’ve come across need serious re-training in the basic tenets from Sunday School.
