Fair enough, but I thought my longer explanation by examples made my meaning more clear. Making calls that people should not be allowed to deny membership into private clubs/groups based upon behaviors and choices is going to dive away people you need to get the support of.

IMO the Dems need to stop calling out the flying spaghetti monster club for denying membership to people who eat spaghetti. Spaghetti eaters still have their right to eat spaghetti, they just don't need to join a club of people who think that's immoral. Save the outrage for the FSM branches that deny membership to those without noodley appendages, as that has now crossed over from a choice/behavior and into something immutable.

If we can agree on that in principle, let me then step forward to the real example.

Stop telling Christians that not accepting non-christians as members or leaders in their churchs is immoral or intolerant or bigotry or evil. Most of the major religions in the world on some lesser or greater extent declare each other immoral. Live and live is enough, you don't need to demand they accept membership or leadership candidate from other religions with beliefs or practices they consider incompatible with their own. Oh, and if the Dems really want bonus points here, who you choose to have sex with and how you choose to do it can be included in this.

This is important information about the destruction of our election processes.
Far from 'transparent and upfront', this is one more example of a single candidate misusing their power to attempt to secretly sway the pre-election in their favor, and a clear indication that SOME believe in an 'ends justify the means' type of administration.
Scary to think of what might happen if they run the country in this same manner.

EDIT: Doing the numbers, if you take out the super delegates, or assume they'll mirror the voters as they normally do, Sanders only needs 56% of the remaining vote/delegates to win, and that's a likelihood at this point. Fingers crossed, knock on wood, may we all be touched by his noodley appendage.

May you be touched by his noodley appendage.

Not sure whether Shiny is scary or funny. Both maybe?

P. S.: The Celestial Teapot says "Hi"

P. S. S. S. S. S. S.: The Flying Spaghetti Monster extends his noodley appendage in a manner which means, "Hi."

Baby-eating and noodley appendages... do I smell a subtle pastafarian/atheist hommage here?

>> ^honkeytonk73:
well.. magic is real, flying people with bird wings are real, and red horned cloven-hoofed red dudes underground are real. So there.


Don't forget creatures with noodley appendages and teapots of celestial origin. They are so totally real.

That isn't news. That is propagandist lies. Completely illegal according to the law of the land and against the Constitution.

Same old sh$%t from the government. Yet these morons keep falling for the same old red-white-blue wave the flag yeehaw gung-ho stories and supporting these scam artist power mongers.

God bless the USA. God bless the police state.. for he recognizes national borders, takes preference over certain nationalities, and by golly gee... thinks the US's poop don't stink one iota.

May his noodley appendage send blessed magic sparks all over us, giving us +1 to hit/damage and +1 to AC for 1 turn.
