VOTE NO on Cloture for David Hamilton - Tell Your Senator

[ride4ruin]

This ad is incorrect. The first amendment states that the government cannot support any particular religion over another, meaning that a prayer that is specific to Christians cannot be said in the legislature, as it would be endorsing Christianity over other religions. However, the word "allah" is not specific to a single religion, as it is simply the Arabic word for "god," one that both Muslims and Arabic Christians use.

So actually his rulings are completely in line with the first amendment.

Ha ha ha HA ha!

Ha ha ha HA ha !

Hamilton WON, and YOU lost !!!

Hamilton WON, and YOU lost !!!

He's on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals--and there isn't a goddamned thing YOU can do about it !!

[StoogeWatcher]

Yeah, just like your brown supremacist friend on the Supreme Court.

[StoogeWatcher]

Hamilton is your typical libearl hypoocrite. Yeah, deny Christians THEIR right to silent prayer, but force kids to read the Koran and participate in Muslim prayers.

[BenAliGtor]

"..hypooocrite..."

LOL !! The fucking retard can't even SPELL !!

[serglazz81]

The part "no one" in John 14:6, is what really bothers people that do not accept Jesus as the Son of God.

[serglazz81]

Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

This is why they want Jesus out.

[serglazz81]

Keep on throwing out Jesus from this country and same thing will happen to this already semi-crippled country that happened to Jewish state about few thousand years ago.

[tzushih]

This ad's just a complete lie. Judge Hamilton's ruling simply struck down "sectarian" prayer in the Indiana House, ruling that a prayer in the name of "Jesus" or "Muhammad" would be unconstitutionally advancing a particular religion. A post-judgment motion clarified that a prayer simply to "God" would be non-specific enough to be constitutional, and that the word "God" in other languages (Spanish Dios, Arabic Allah) would be similarly acceptable.

That's not radical.

[KidsInnocence]

That is nonsense. Are jihadists like Nidal Hasan praising Jesus Christ when they shout "Allah Akbar"? Of course not. It is a MUSLIM prayer. Allah is the MUSLIM "god."

"Dios", LOL! Give me a break. Hamilton is a nutcase. Just the sort of extremist one would expect from Obama. Former ACORN fundraiser, ACLU Director. Makes total sense an ACLU nut would have such little respect for the 1st Amedment. Just like you NEVER see the ACLU sue a school which gives space to Muslim students--only Christians

[tzushih]

"Are jihadists like Nidal Hasan praising Jesus Christ when they shout 'Allah Akbar'?"

No, they're praising God. Allah means God. If the word "God" is broad and nonspecific enough for prayers given in a state legislature, then legally "Allah" has to be as well.

Personally, to me this just illustrates the problem with mixing prayer with government at all. Hamilton's ruling was far too conservative for my tastes.

[DefendGlenn]

No. "Allah" does NOT mean "God". It is the name that the founder of ISLAM Muhammad--who incidentally was also one of history's worst mass murderers--called his "divine" entity. This is a religion which does NOT recognize Jesus Christ as the son of God.

Hamilton ruled against Christianity, period. Because like most ACLU attorneys, he is hostile to it. The ACLU NEVER challenges Islam.

[tzushih]

If "Allah" means Muhammad, then by elementary analogy "God" means Jesus (which it does to Christians), and therefore the ruling in fact promoted Christianity.

And you're apparently misinformed about the ACLU. Just ask the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, which was sued by the ACLU for promoting Islam while taking public funds.

[StoogeWatcher]

Exactly. The ACLU has no problem with taxpayer-funded footbaths, taxpayer-funded Islamist indoctrination, or Muslim-only prayers, but God help you if you and a group of friends want to start a student-run after-school Bible club.

[StoogeWatcher]

Radical is when you give Muslims special privileges like footbaths and prayer rooms, but deny Christians their right to pray. Well, maybe not radical, more like hypocritical.

[tzushih]

When has a Christian been denied an individual "right to pray"?

[BenAliGtor]

They hate it when you actually cite facts in support of your argument, tzushih- just like they can't deal with the fact that Arab Christians use the word "Allah" for God.

Fuck 'em, though: David Hamilton's in as a justice on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals- despite their worst efforts.

[tzushih]

Hooray!
