Obama shrugged

I have no doubt both Bill and Hillary loathe the military. And I have no doubt that Obama is as bad or worse than either of them. However, in the picture, the people are looking in 3 different directions. I have stood in crowds where flags were in different places and watched people turn in different directions to face the flag when the national anthem was played. That is what this picture looks like to me.

I am not a Hillary supporter, but I doubt she would openly disrespect the flag in public in front of a crowd.

**Does anyone seriously believe that McCain can beat Obama?**

Absolutely. Just watch.

(Remember McGovern?)

"That’s my church, too, but I thought our founders split from the Presbyterians.

The Disciples of Christ came out of the Presbyterians, and were founded by Thomas and Alexander Campbell in the early 1800's, seeking "restoration" of an earlier, simpler faith. They rejected creedal formulas and embraced baptism by immersion.

The United Church of Christ, on the other hand, came out of the Congregationalists, who in turn, came out of (believe it or not) the Puritans.

The Unitarian label was applied to many Congregationalists when many of their leaders in the early 1800's rejected the Trinity and asserted that only God the Father was divine. Many Congregationalists named or re-named their churches "Trinity Church" in reaction to this trend. Unfortunately, many of those with the name Trinity have since become agnostic about such concepts, and are "borderline unitarians."

Trinity UCC has been around for a long time and was probably named "Trinity" long before the current pastor and Farrakhan enthusiast Jeremiah Wright (Obama calls him his "mentor") took up the post.

>>That picture may the one that defeats Obama. Plus he won’t wear a US flag lapel pin. Plus his wife being ashamed of the US for the past 24 years.<<

This reminds me that besides Obama Girl, there are... Obama Boys, too!

Yeah I think the original founders were Presbyterians, then split off to form Disciples of Christ, and Church of Christ, then later United Church of Christ.

Well my church does try to appeal to everyone.

I think you should always post this photo right next to the picture of the wetbacks on the sidewalks holding their crotch I have seen posted here so often.

Does your church preach that Jesus is the son of God? If so, I think its not Unitarian.
