Franklin Graham peppered Obama about ties to Islam

Stephanie brought up the kid wearing the cocacola shirt.

While I would not dress my children like that, parents are always using their kids to make political statements. I remember back in 2004 going to a county fair with family in Ohio and seeing dozens of kids wearing Kerry/Edwards shirts and thinking "well this is probably not the true expression of what that kid believes." I saw the greatest kid shirt that said "Now that I'm safe, I support Roe v Wade."

So parents use their children to express themselves. I don't. But are there bigger problems in the world? No, you got me, there aren't:)

Naaaa. Why? Should I?

I have this one my nightstand right now:

It is easy to come up with answers if you aren't concerned with accuracy...

Sam, I have questions about many things, many of which you have likely never conceived.

It is why I became a scientist.

Anyone claiming to be a scientist but who absolutely refuses to entertain the thoughts, ideas and observations of people of all walks of life, ....... gives all real scientists a bad name.

TRC, ponder my statement for 3 or 4 hours, to wit:

I have more answers than you have questions.

And just maybe you will "get its meaning".

Sorry SF I couldnt get your link to work.

I have a slow dial-up connection.

But most of Michener's books deal at length with the historic division of human societies between "city of Man" and "city of God".

The book is:


'Bad Money' by Kevin Phillips
Which handles money better? A casino or Wall Street? A look at the reckless financing and political decision-making preceding the current economic crisis.

shermangeneral,

Once you join Obamanation you'll have to change your signature to:

SENT ON MY BLACKBERRY

And rather than complaining about your dial-up connection you'll have to say: "I'm typing with my thumbs here!"

Well Jim I keep threatening to get a dish internet connection but the price will need to come down first.

But anyway have you read any of them?

No. I never liked Michener.

21st Century.

Well if I could afford it I would have a fancier set-up.

But even now the rww's cant hold a candle so what would they do when I get laser speed access to even more info?

It is true that your wit and wisdom are pretty dazzling. I imagine we'd just divert our eyes.

Personally, I'd buy thicker and longer waders.

This is among the many reasons why I can't stand the man.

He'd rather vote "present" than oppose abortion.

If Southern Baptists Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter have taught us anything, it's not to vote for a man based on his denomination.

I keep going back to this because I think there are 50 million reasons not to vote for Barack Obama. I have prayed for his soul; however, it makes precious little difference to me in the voting booth what someone calls themselves, particularly when they have a record so odious.

Obama could come on down to Marseilles, join my church, tell me that he agrees with me on believer's baptism, the inerrancy of the Scriptures, salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and even the greatness of the mighty Milwaukee Brewers, and I still wouldn't vote for the man (although I might buy him a Yuengling and teach him how to bowl).

Or you might just call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' neighbors to work on homes here with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch...

Nah, but I'd like to see him bag a deer.

You are not describing me, Sammy

Oh, I get the meaning alright and responded accordingly. If you feel I did this in error, you might try being more precise.

Or you may not bother. Because I frequently don't agree with you, you have insulted my education and my employment. Now you insult my objectivity and my abilities in my profession.

What next? Calling my wife a whore and my children delinquents?

Since you know so much about science, you do realize the burden of proof is on you.

I have listened to your malarky and personal insults.

I have never dismissed them out of hand. That means I "entertained" them.

You will never make your argument.

As I suspected, you are only interested in insulting me and anyone else that disagrees with you.

Just like your argument that MTR and improper foresting don't exacerbate (or sometime cause) flooding. You offered no evidence and refused to "entertain" even a common sense argument in response.

Point them fingers at yourself if you don't want to be considered a hypocrite, Sammy.

Sorry Mike, I was channeling Marcellus and working on my man, Zed ("Zed's dead, baby"). The line was festering in my head and I had to get it out.

If Jesus regins in every Christian's heart, how can any Christian support the Democrat Platform including pro-abortion and pro-homosexual rights?

Armon,

Do you really think Jesus wants people to punish homosexuals? Isn't that supposed to be his dad's bag?

Stephanie wrote:Armon,

Who wants to punish them? A person does not deserve special rights for their chosen sexual activity. Can homosexuals vote? Own property? Serve in the military? Serve on a jury? They cannot marry--but neither can brothers and sisters. Do you think that there should be Incest Rights? Is being against incest punishing incestors?
