A mere decade after the USSR imploded, the USSA rises from the ashes.
I'm afraid because so few seem to notice, care, or question this.
I read papers from all around the world via the miracle of the internet. This is something that means very much to me. I enjoy sticking my nose in everyones business no matter how far away.
But best of all....none of my precious trees were cut down to supply the paper that traditional media required.
I think the speeches of Barach Obama may turn out to be as important in future decades as the words of JFL and MLK are today.
"Ask what you can do for your country" and "judged by the content of his character" have been answered by this remarkable young man in one fell swoop.
My only sadness is that his grandmother did not live to see the conclusion of a story that she probably never dreamed would hit so close to home.
Why have the good X-tians poured all those millions into this proposition? By pushing the importance of meddling in others bedrooms they missed the point.
Wasn't it Christ who taught love one another, turn the other cheek, do unto others, love your enemy, judge lest not ye be judged, and lots of other useful advice?
Imagine how many coats, shoes, utility bills, eyeglasses and meals this amount could have provided for those in need.
Christianity should stay out of politics and focus on good works. It just does not seem to be possible to mix the two ideas and do anything worthwhile.
The losers are the needy, and THAT should wake up the believers.
Only for politicians.
Not for gays, religions, hunters, or those who choose the color of their car. Very interesting.........
Imagine a country where x-tians send $29.7 mil. to the Salvation Army so they can spread the word using food, housing, medical care and just good old fashioned concern for others.
But I probably won't live that long.
What was Holder up to during "Ruby Ridge" and "Branch Davidian" raid? Neither were shining moments in democracy.
I'm not trying to start a fight....just curious.
Dupre's father and brother have nothing to do with HER carrier choice.
Nor did she "bring down" Spitzer. HIS choices did that.
The whole thing is just people making excuses for what is their Personal Responsibility. And the media thinking there is a substantial story in this.
The interview I would like to see is the one after some public figure gets his block knocked off by the wronged spouse. Why these broads put on a brave face and suck it up is beyond me. Pound the slimeball into the ground. Don't waste the rights women gained in the last century by staying dependent for the image of ??????
"Old Testamentology" (as I call it) has obliterated the teachings of Christ. One obscure sentence in the OT is more quoted than the Sermon on the Mount. Sad and scary.
The churches raised almost $30 mil to fight Prop.8. Imagine what the Salvation Army could have done with this amount of money. And the SA helps anyone in the name of Christ.
Focus on the Family is so pleased with their victory but they now must lay off many in these economic times. How proud the leaders must be. Imagine the blessings at empty tables. WWJD?
With the will of God behind unjust wars, denying freedom of choice and used as the battle cry behind endless condemnation of everything, perhaps it is time to admit that in America...Christianity appears to be dead.
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
If it would save the not-so Big 3 if the US had 100% health coverage......who will take over that expense to keep the US alive?
They were ashamed.
The rest of us have prayed, burned candles, said a chant and done numerous things in hope that the beautiful woman and her children were OK.
Thank you for the update on one of the most haunting, touching images ever taken.
Mama....RIP...you did good.
So many in America call those who worship differently barbarians. It is such a shame that no one holds the "man in the mirror" accountable.
But we should not worry. By turning our backs while our representatives are treating others inhumanely, can't we just say we are "turning the other cheek"? Won't that prove our immoral superiority to those we are trying to convert?
My husband will spend 18 hours a day on the computer and hasn't put out sex for 4.5 years.
He's getting divorce papers for X-mas. I'm throwing a newly single party for New Years.
Is it really necessary to have every event "blessed"? And by a such a divisive speaker, no less. Warren has no real idea of the inclusive teachings of Christ. His brand of religion is poisonous and no longer necessary in a world full of change.
Obama, you are smarter than this. (Or so I thought.)
When are women going to be entitled to a pure man....and how will it be proved?
My sides hurt, and I can't stop the tears of laughter.
Out of the ashes of the USSR we watch the rise of the USSA.
Keep writing Glenn. Maybe some will read your posts and be motivated to contact their elected representatives.
Or, you will be one of those arrested as the state rounds up it's enemies.
Please let the no-brainers know that the conspiracy has been laid to rest.
Can the real leaders get back to doing real work in the real world now?
The Oscars are a Hollywood self promotion game played every year to stroke the egos of those involved.
Skip the hype and donate the vast amount of wasted money to charity. I double dog dare you.....
