Well, I get to vote but, sure, some will always push. Right now conservative Christians are pushing against equal rights in not just higher numbers but higher percentages than are Muslims, at least in the area of marriage. > All you get is a say is on how they do it from a legal perspective; for > the rest it's out of your control.

I don't understand why you've broken the text up here like you have, but If you're trying to say your vote would be worthless against large groups, I'd tend to agree. Or maybe you were just commenting solely on "the rest it's out of your control"? In any event, the remaining questions include: Do you believe you'd like it more or less if the majority of the population were Muslim? And why do you believe it (whatever your answer is)?

With the poll I showed it appears that, currently, Christians are pushing more (in higher percentages) than are Muslims. BUT that is breaking down Christians by group and NOT Muslims. If you look at many of their Christian groups they are also fairly open to equal rights (in this area). Overall, worldwide, I believe Muslims tend to be more conservative (pushing against equal rights and for their own special entitlements). I would not want to see that growing in the US... from ANY group. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

We're not going to get a choice there, Muslims birth rates will decide the issue. By the time the percentage becomes large enough for it to become any kind of major problem you'll probably be dead anyway. The question is really geared more towards how your offspring are affected and how you feel about that, given Muslims are, as you say, "more conservative".

What makes you think it will be any bigger of a problem than the one we already have with Christians? Really the bigger issue we have is growing income inequality tied to redistribution of money to the very rich. When you have that you get hopelessness, civil unrest, fear, and conservationism grows. Equal rights are restricted and large numbers of people blame each other for their problems. We see that already with people blaming immigrants (legal or not), blacks, the poor, Jews, gays, etc. They fail to see they have a lot more in common with these groups than they do the 1% who siphons off most of the new wealth in the nation. > The > question is really geared more towards how your offspring are affected > and how you feel about that, given Muslims are, as you say, "more > conservative". I am far more worried about the abuses from the corporations and the very wealthy than I am any religion... if we have liberal financial policy (pushing a stronger tie between hard work / productivity and financial gain) and strong safety nets for those who need them (while maintaining our low levels of abuse) then we will see prosperity. We also need to fund infrastructure and investments in the future (something Obama and Trump promised but Obama did little for, even with the massive stimulus packages) and Trump likely will also not do. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

The way they amass data to produce what they do is goofy. You actually believe that bizarre method is on the level? They rated HRC as the most honest politician to run for POTUS in the last decade, which is *off the chart* ridiculous.

They rate STATEMENTS as honest or not, but as far as I know not politicians. As far as Clinton, she is deeply dishonest... but she does so with innuendo and distraction and conveniently "forgetting" things.

Can you get over it? I think it is already over. It's his problem and he has to want to deal with it. Obviously he would rather blame Calum than face reality.
Just absurd trolling. And I am rewarding that trolling. THAT is what the "Jonas Eklundh Communication circus" is.
Jonas Eklundh Communication is trying ("very" hard) to project their crap onto Calum. For some time Jonas Eklundh Communication has pressed the belief that Calum needs 'witnesses' to point out all his deception. The fact is that nobody needs any documentation to do that. So Jonas Eklundh Communication pulls this bizarre ad hominem poppycock in a feeble effort to 'sell' the idea that Calum is like him.

In a famous example of how they do what they do, the Ron Paul 1913 income tax claim was labeled as "Half true". Some democrat made the same claim and it was rated "Mostly true".

Upon reconsideration, we are changing our ruling to Half True. The text of the fact-check is unchanged." <http://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2015/aug/24/jim-webb/jim-webb-says-us-didnt-have-income-taxes-until-191/> The idea they're playing fair and square is bogus. > As far as Clinton, she is deeply dishonest...

Yes: I have seen people saying so-and-so is X% honest. This is a misreading of what Politifact claims. I will even go so far as to say Politfact sometimes encourages such misreadings, such as on this page: <http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/lists/people/comparing-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-truth-o-met/> OR <https://goo.gl/VM5dN7> Still, if you look at their methodology page there is nothing to suggest they are rating any given person on their level of honesty OVERALL: <http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2018/feb/12/principles-truth-o-meter-politifacts-methodology-i/> OR <https://goo.gl/fTuK4s> > When you look at the whole a pattern emerges. > > In a famous example of how they do what they do, the Ron Paul 1913 > income tax claim was labeled as "Half true".

Heck, my "favorite" (though unsupportable") example of this is how they rated a Sanders' comment as not true when he was asked some question and started his response by saying he did not know but would guess whatever. His guess, clearly stated as a guess, was incorrect. Perhaps he should have know the actual answer (cannot even recall what it was) but they rated his comment as untrue... as if he lied. They later removed that page -- and there is no mention of it anywhere I can find so I cannot prove it or get more details. > The idea they're playing fair and square is bogus. > >> As far as Clinton, she is deeply dishonest... > > Yet, when looking at Politifact claims on the whole, she comes out above > Obama. Based on a misreading of their comments, sure.

If just one I would not take it to mean that much... but given how the DNC and the media pushed Clinton he did unbelievably well... and is still the most popular politician in the country (or was with the last polls I saw). Given how both Clinton and Trump were the two least liked, I think there is little doubt he would have beaten Trump. >> His guess, clearly >> stated as a guess, was incorrect. Perhaps he should have know the actual >> answer (cannot even recall what it was) but they rated his comment as >> untrue... as if he lied. >> >> They later removed that page > > This is exactly the kind of crap they do, which is why they > are not a reliable source. I am OK with them removing pages... but I think it is a mistake to have no mention of it. Maybe they do and I just have not seen it... but I have looked. Wish I had a screenshot of the page or whatever but not knowing it was going to go away I never thought to get it. I did reference it, I think, on some old Facebook posts, so I *might* be able to find more info on it. That is assuming you can find anything on Facebook's insane system. >> -- and there is no mention of it anywhere I >> can find so I cannot prove it or get more details. >> >>> The idea they're playing fair and square is bogus. >>> >>>> As far as Clinton, she is deeply dishonest... >>> >>> Yet, when looking at Politifact claims on the whole, she comes out above >>> Obama. >> >> Based on a misreading of their comments, sure. > > The ones I've seen are based on how Politifact rates the comments. Do you have examples. Keep in mind I am not saying they, or Snopes, or FaceCheck, are perfect... but all are well respected fact checking sites and I do not think they should be discounted. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>
