Hell no.
I don't understand RP folks voting for her. She is a neocon Christian EXTREMIST. Having someone who thinks this war is a Holy War is bad enough. Add to that someone who thinks the US needs to be cleansed of demons? Have you been saved? Do you want the govt to ensure you have been?
What is the modern version of the Salem witch trials?
The Holy Bible tells me we are in the tribulation. I don't like to discuss it with atheists because atheists don't understand it. It takes more than reading it once or twice to get some understanding of it. It must be broken down word for word..due to translations...to the root of the words . If you really want to discuss the bible I'd be glad to, if you only want to try to use it to discredit....I'll pass on that. Tones
Is there anyone sticking to Republican ticket and voting for McCain?
I am unsure of what way to go. My dad sent me this message, comments?... (hes trying to get me to vote mccain)
"Once McCain is in there ,the market/economy will improve and the housing will start to recover. "Sammys" friends all have husbands on Wall St. and they are scared to death of Obama getting in. If he happens to win, everyone will dump investments subject to short term capital gains taxes, which he will at least double. If you saw his interview w/O'Rieley he told him on the air he will raise them to 30%-35%. O'reilly flipped and told him he'll be pulling his money out of stocks and into bonds and so will every other investor. He says at a 10% capitol gains tax the stocks are worth the risk. At 30% no way!By the way home builder stocks are up about 33% since July. The institutional investors have been buying them up, driving up the price. So apparently they think this is the bottom, or close enough so that they are worried about missing it."
. makes absolutely no sense in light of the fact that people who call themselves Christians are often not at all like Christ. I just don't get it.
I stopped trying to reconcile the prince of peace with pro-war christians a long time ago.
I LIKE Christian fundamentalism...I happen to be one. Tones
Probably wise. You'd think that they, along with the Buddhists, would be the most anti-war individuals. But then again, I guess it wouldn't be as big as it is today without all the warmongering/crusades.
Shame.
I understand all that. The wars are for control of the oil. Bottom line. Hate it, but its the facts. Nobody is going to go against the oil industry. Unfortunately, oil will continue to control the world. The dollar is backed by oil now...not gold. I agree , we need a better system, but it ain't happenin in 2008. I have to go with the capitalists rather than the socialists...for now. Tones
Can you guys help me out again? I posted my response... this is what he said back. Probobly not worth arguing but i think hes watching too much fox 5. LOL. any comments....?
"Well That's the main area of disagreement I have with RP. I don't agree with his isolationist ideas. Sure it worked between 1776 and 1812 when the Atlantic ocean separated us from Europe. It bought us time, as a floundering newborn nation to survive long enough to gain enough prosperity and military strength to be able to win a war with a major foreign power. But that's not going to work any longer. War is bad, it's expensive, it costs human lives. BUT, there are many many people around the world, who for a variety of reasons and beliefs want to get us. If they don't have the means to do that right now, sooner or later they will, just like 9/11. You're probably a little too young to remember what 9/11 did to the US economy, but it took a couple of years to recover. If you're going to talk dollars, I would say the war is a bargain compared to what another attach would do to the US economy. The fact that we haven't had another attach, and the fact that it's been 7 years without one, have restored the faith of the American people and the world in the US economy, military and government. Another successful attach would bring that into question and we might recover and the financial costs would be staggering. What if the next attach is an actual nuclear weapon? You're talking about 100,000's dead and a whole city destroyed and uninhabitable a couple of generations. is that worth the risk. Are we better off going to fight over there, not here. I don't know, it's a tough question. The cost of doing it is huge. But what is the cost if we don't? "
thx
A) Christianity has no monopoly on morality. Its morals are arbitrary (lord's name in vain, sex, etc.), and never take into account actual cases of harm done to human beingsThe only thing that can be done is to continue to elect decent, moral ( YES I SAID MORAL) individuals to office. Ron Paul did make comments at his rally about morality. We live in an immoral society...it is Babylon. Tones
