RELIGIOUS RIGHT PITCHES HISSY FIT OVER MARIJUANA, POKER BILLS
“Social conservatives” in South Carolina amaze us with their hypocrisy …
On the one hand, a candidate supporting government funding for abortion and a host of other far left causes evoked nary a peep from the state’s “religious right” during a recent legislative election.
Yet a tightly drawn medical marijuana bill – and legislation lifting a prohibition against card games – is somehow worthy of a stealthy warning from one of the God Squad’s bag men.
“You need to tell Tom Davis to stop poking Christians in the face,” one prominent social conservative activist told us earlier this week. “These heathen bills he’s introducing are not going unnoticed.”
Heathen?
Sheesh …
Unlike a lot of “Republicans” who want to expand government’s reach into our kitchens and bedrooms (as if the GOP rape of our wallets and pocketbooks wasn’t enough), Davis is actually fighting to get government off of our backs.
And his bills passed the S.C. Senate unanimously, the last time we checked …
Honestly we wish Davis were being more aggressive in pushing the decriminalization of marijuana and gambling – the latter of which is currently a state-run monopoly.
Still, it’s nice to see at least one member of the GOP leading on liberty issues …

Please help me decipher the Republican hieroglyphics — what does medical marijuana have to do with Christianity?
It’s the sixteenth commandment: Thou shalt not forsake the alcohol and tobacco lobbies.
…or porn on the internet.
There’s…PORN on the interwebs?!?! Naked ladies???
skin all over their bodies.
…and legs that go up and make an ass of themselves?! Count me in!
BINGO!!!!!
Jesus turned water into wine, not pot. Ergo pot isn’t Christian.
Hope I’ve been able to help.
Btw, Rainbows are God saying, “Ok, do over, I screwed up by killing most of you but I won’t do that again. Everyone’s allowed one do over, right?”
He loves us and stuff.
Hurr durr.
Don’t be a hater, it’s not Christlike.
Haters will hate.
The fact that God made a mistake when he created that evil weed. Ask a Christian.
Help me decode the religion of the progressive. What do MOST abortions and the silencing of a heartbeat have to do with … coexistence? Woman have been coerced into thinking this is an enlightened and an empowered choice?
Don’t forget that they can be sluts and be empowered too!
I’m really not against that line of thinking when it comes to getting laid, I just think it’s funny.
“Yeah baby, you’re so empowered. Bounce harder damnit!”

Hahahaha…Liberal-Tarianism ALWAYS seems like such a GREAT idea, until you encounter people who have some morals…LMAO…Going through life expecting no responsibility, and to be lauded as a leader, is great…
Too bad imbeciles like Davis and FITS are too stupid to realize drugs kill, gamblers starve their children and prostitutes are FORCED into the giving away their bodies, more times than not…
You see: It all sounds so good on paper…but there is a little something called REALITY, Dumb@$$..and the people paying the bills are a lot smarter than you THINK you are…
Have you applied for that 6 figure North Dakota job yet, or are you still sitting on your ass. I’m getting sick of you not paying your fair share.
He prefers getting drilled instead of drilling.
You got that right. His flaccid old starfish needs about a pound of alum in it just so I can get enough friction to get off, anymore. Most days the only good he can do is sucking the Santorum out of Lindsey’s ass when Lindsey and his boyfriend come over for tea and crumpets.
Hahahaha…Liberal-Tarianism ALWAYS seems like such a GREAT idea, until you encounter people who have some morals

do you know any?
Morals…you mean such as making children with epilepsy suffer to protect big pharma’s interests? And please explain why you assume that people with different opinions than yours aren’t “paying the bills”?
Nothing like a toke between hands of aces wild.
I won $187 dollars per hour playing poker. I can teach you how just go to my website….

Bet ’em high….
Sleep in the streets, mon.
The Government is Christ incarnate – whatever the Government allows, is allowed in the hearts of men – anyone who allows legislation to be passed that is against God’s will is inviting hurricanes and other natural disasters to smite the nation, and cause innocents to die!
…except porn.
Rain is peaceful, makes me feel at home
Fake morality hurts, feels like a broken bone.
Mark 16:18
King James Version (KJV)
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

I think anyone who claims to be a Christian should be subjected to this test by law.
Only the crazy fucking fundies and the pols who pander to them. Not all Christians are heartless freaks.
Uh oh..A leftwing bigot has finally gone off the deep-end enough that even ol’ pop culture (usually) Christian Hating Buz is beginning to see the bigotry and hate of the liberal movement…
It has taken a long time,,,But you give a liberals enough rope, and they’ll hang enough innocent people, than even the simple-minded take heed..
Obama’s poll numbers are in the 30s…and if those who won’t admit what he is, were counted should put him in the teens….
Idiot. I have not voted Democrat in over two decades.
Not all Christians are heartless freaks.

You and Hitler seem to like Killing based on people who don’t share your immorality…
Thank God we’re beginning to see what you are, and turning on you…Remember Hitler wound up w/ a bullet in his head from his own hand. Then they burned his body…Is your hate and bigotry strong enough that you’d offer yourself to the same fate from those you persecute???
Let them be bitten by serpents, and drink poison – they won’t die… unless God kills them.
There has juuuuust got to be a Rev. Jim Jones reference in here somewhere.
*looks around…*
Dooooooooooon’t do it…
I was thinking Keith Richards.

No jokes, don’t write, sit tight, don’t fool around
You are a guest of Uncle Sam
Stand up, look right, don’t slouch and stand at ease
Allow no sex above the knees
When I snap you jump into the master plan
I’ll be damned
Well I’ll be damned
I’ll be damned if I drink or smoke
Damned if I steal your joke
I’ll be damned if I go for broke
Damned if I do

Don’t talk, don’t fool, don’t try to mess around

You sign your name right on that dotted line – boy!

TL; DR
I hope you are not tested, because you claimed to be a Christian on this website.
Let’s get the testing started… once it’s law, then I’ll be tested.
Whoa, there, Sport! Christians (like Muslims) come in lots of flavors! Can we qualify your reg to include only Christians who buy into 100% literal interpretation? Help the brotha out!
Are you saying this will separate the literalists and the illiteralists?
Inevitably so…
so the only literalists left alive will be either immune to cyanide and black mambo bites, or true Christians… if you think the literalists are hard to live with now….
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them;
Except for that one time:

It worked!
Sic, let Tom Davis go. He’s a hypocrite of the first degree. He supported Jean Toal instead of honesty and integrity. He’s done with those who really know him. Go back to whereever, Tom.
/// “You need to tell Tom Davis to stop poking Christians in the face,” one prominent social conservative activist told us earlier this week. “These heathen bills he’s introducing are not going unnoticed.” ///
Yeah, because everybody knows how, in the part of the Gospels that is in red ink, Jesus plainly stated not to suffer the little children to get relief from their suffering with marijuana oil.
What, that’s not in there you say? EXACTLY!
I thought all carpetbaggers are heathens…..
‘Christian Hating Buz’.Reasoning and trying too engage Buz about people of faith and Christianity,in my opinion, would have been like trying too reason and engage Adolph Hitler about jews.Waste of time.
Will, can you explain to me Libertarian strategy for winning and accomplishing anything. They attack crony capitalist. They attack neocons. They attack social conservatives. You act like those groups don’t have any constituents. Who is left to vote for libertarians. If you want to get a libertarian elected, which one of these groups would you want to compromise with? Never mind. You gotta have your weed.
You are making a big assumption,that libertarians want to “win.”Most of them appear content to simply bitch and moan about those who do win,then adopt a sort of faux moral superiority as if they really have all the answers and simply float above it all.
I’ll be damned if weed isn’t some powerful shit, and I’m not even talking about the clowns who smoke it. Just the mention of it sends the right wing cuckoos into aneurysm-land, and libertarians (and a certain sizable sliver of the left) seem positively obsessed by the evils of MJ prohibition. I don’t see it as that important either way- it’s practically a religion for some of the MJ freaks, and Bible thumpers act like the world would stop spinning if it was legalized. Sure it would be tough on society as a whole, but so is freaking booze. Good Lord, it almost makes me say just legalize the shit, tax the hell out of it (like booze and tobacco), and sit back and enjoy the show. I feel bad, though. Progressives would say that my kids are already pretty unfairly advantaged, and legalization would make things even better for them. Fuck it – go for it. Vote for Ravenel and let’s go all “Colorado.”
marijuana has its roots in hell.
Tool.
I’m a plasma cutter
I thought you were gonna say ‘turd cutter’.
:)
plasma goes through turds like shit through a Republican.
We are all turd cutters unless you use a colostomy bag.
I meant that you could um…use a tool to cut the roots so they don’t…you know keep going to hell.
Tom Davis has the backbone to stand up for his constituents. He has
heard our wishes and he furthers our interests in state government.He is
one of us and if anyone has a problem with that then it is us, the
people who voted him in that you have a problem with. If you are not
represented by him then piss off.
Even bird brains need a leader!
We can’t just ignore people with hard core neuroses, double digit IQs, and the ability to cast a vote!
Ignorance not only deserves representation, but equal time.
Stupid is the new smart!
Is that all you got? What’s your platform man? Are there better ideas in your head that you aren’t sharing?

Easy Kimosabe… WTF did I say about your boy Tom Davis?! It’s not legally required, but we generally suggest actually reading comments before responding to them. I’m pretty sure my comment described the two extremes of the MJ debate, not your Daddy. I have no real problem with Davis, but he is (by geographical happenstance) NOT my Senator so if you like, however, I will “piss off.” How does one “piss off,” by the way?
That reply was for a different comment. I have no idea how it got posted to yours smh.
Aaaaah, now that would make sense – no problem! I have run into crack-smokers on this site before, though. Glad it turns out you weren’t on the glass dick…
Tom supported Toal because it suited his law practice. He’s a sell out. We already have good people lined up to take him out in the primary in 2 years. Maybe he can get Toal to campaign for him.
Tom was a target of the Democrats in the Toal election. I don’t have the specifics of what pieces of gold he was promised by McConnell, Harrell and Toal, but one of the promises I understand he received was that Toal and the Democrats would get the black votes in Beaufort County rented ( as Harpo calls it) for the day for him in 2 years. “They” also got to Tom’s little buddy, Campsen.
“Davis poking Christians”…….TMI.
Jesus probably turned dirt weed into ganja, but no one wrote it down.
The type of marijuana Mr. Davis’ bill legalizes can’t even get an individual high, as it contains a minimal amount of THC and high amounts of CBD. BTW, Christians, there’s NOTHING compassionate about denying an individual their God-given right to treat their or their children’s medical conditions with a substance that has been proven to stop life-threatening seizures.
