All good suggestions. We're slowly building up our hard currency reserves. Just silver at the moment, but we'll get that gold soon enough. Thankfully there are Union Pacific tracks all the way up our planned route, but I'm worried that if S really HTF the Feds will be guarding the trains or...

My wife and I are in a position that a lot of you might be in: we live in a fairly large American city, roughly 600 miles away from our nearest relatives. While we do have bug-out property, it's on the other side of the country, and we would probably only be able to get there with plenty of...

I agree, whole-heartedly. There seems to be this presumption in many (but definitely not all!) parishes across the country that parents are stupid. It's ridiculous, but not surprising. The liberal takeover of parishes here in America put a lot of (stupid) people with the nanny-state, public...

Well, I'm not surprised to see that this thread has gone in the direction it's gone. :rolleyes: I'm not really sure how well-received this will be here, but I'll try to actually answer the OP's question. 1.) Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and some protestant Christians believe that the...

I think you've got it wrong. The days of "Papal puppetry" are long gone. For one thing, the claim of temporal authority died with the dissolution of the Papal States. And the Pope is currently struggling to enforce his legitimate spiritual authority in the United States, and has been for the...

Thanks for voting. Initially, the blog's owner felt we were "cheating," but he's since content with the numbers as they've turned out. Paul is right below McCain with over 300 votes. Nice work. It's gotten people talking about Dr. Paul, and that's what matters :D

Done. Sorry! :D

I've always found this stance troubling. Perhaps Ron Paul should emphasize that there are many Palestinian Christians who are being discriminated against and demoralized by the Israeli government. I'm a conservative Christian, and my gut instinct says we should be banding together in...

Hi! I'm Gavin from San Francisco. I'm a Catholic who is sick of being forced to vote for Republican politicians simply because of their stance on abortion. What's so great about an anti-abortion candidate who wants to keep us bogged down in a bloodbath in the middle east for 100 years? :mad...

Gerald Augustinus' "The Cafeteria is Closed," a widely-read Catholic blog, has a new poll up asking readers who they're going to be voting for in light of the recent primary results. h ttp://closedcafeteria.blogspot.com/2008/01/republican-poll.html Head on over there, vote, and remind the...

Hey there. Gerald Augustinus' "The Cafeteria is Closed," a highly-read Catholic blog, has a poll up asking Republicans which candidate they'd choose. Head on over and vote, and be prepared to point out that Dr. Paul is the only option for Catholics who strive to vote according to the mind of...

I'm an Alliance guild master on Hyjal. There are currently only three 70's in our guild (I transferred from Burning Legion with a few friends a few weeks ago), but we're all pretty dedicated to helping our new recruits level up as quickly as possible. A few have hit 60 within the past three...

LS, I understand exactly how you feel. I'm thankful that I'm still on vacation at the moment. My neighborhood is full of leftist nuts and minorities. I'll be lucky if my first-floor apartment with the giant Ron Paul sign in its window hasn't been broken into :mad: That said, I'm not giving...

Was anyone able to transcribe the interview/press-conference/whatever it was? Can anyone summarize? Did he address the TNR smear campaign? :eek:

This evening at the bookstore I found a great book that I think many of us will find useful. It's called The Non-Designer's Design & Type Books by Robin Williams. The book covers the principles of digital typography and graphic design for those of us who haven't had formal instruction. It's...
