    To women losing their right to vote? Do you really hate your wife and daughters that much?

    I have shared tweets that supported things I believed in to only find out that I should have watched the whole thing as it also contained some things I did not support and had to make sure I came back and straightened things out. It happens!

    I answered this in a previous post on this thread, so here is an example of someone not reading everything. And just so you understand War, I am guilty of this as well.

    So you really believe that will happen?
    You woke up this morning and got worried that women would lose their right to vote?

    He’s entitled to his first amendment right to protest the government, but not from consequences… oh, but he is the government. Thus, his employer is not able to do anything about his employment since that would be against the first amendment. That’s some Yossarian level stuff.

    “The Secretary is a proud member of a church affiliated with the Congregation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, which was founded by Pastor Doug Wilson,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to The Independent. “The Secretary very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson’s writings and teachings.”

    Hegseth attended service at church of ‘Christian nationalist’ pastor who doesn’t think women should vote and wants US to be theocracy

    Beyond these near-term goals, Wilson has floated some more fundamental changes to America’s political system: Amending the Constitution to include reference to the Apostles’ Creed, restricting office holding to practicing Christians and changing voting practices to award votes by household, with the default vote-holder being the male head of the household. His long-term goal, he said, is to inspire a grassroots Christian reformation that would excise the whole idea of secularism from American law and society.

    Any chance he reposted because he supports becoming more of a Christian Nation and not because of the mentioned of taking woman voting away?

    just because someone "floated" an idea does not mean it will happen

    Well putting someone in charge of the entire military with those beliefs certainly is a way to start working toward those measures...

    I didn’t think they’d be locking up US citizens without due process in cages unfit for dogs because they aren’t white. I’m going to assume they mean what they say going forward

    But making women second class citizens again is what Jesus really, really wants. That’s a fact.

    does this sound like he’s just mistaken to you?

    Two years ago, he moved his family from New Jersey to Tennessee, where Hegseth joined a school and church associated with reformed reconstructionism, an ideology helmed by the far-right theologian Doug Wilson.

    Members of Wilson’s flock are admitted only after an intense theological grilling from a board of elders. There’s also a system of church courts that metes out punishments for heresy.

    Wilson’s denomination opposes religious pluralism and embraces the idea of a nation founded on the premise that Jesus Christ is the “lord of all.” He has written that owning slaves in biblical times was not antithetical to being a Christian and, while he says he rejects racism, he has asserted that “the system of slave-holding in the South was far more humane than that of ancient Rome, although it still fell short of the biblical requirements for it.”

    Mistaken? He reposted a video someone posted about being more of a Christian Nation. Doesnt mean he supports everything associated with Doug Wilson. You people read too much into everything
