Most of us here over the past year have read random news media reports suggesting that the top military brass in Afghanistan are very frustrated with this Jack Squat administration’s over-reliance on drones and not enough reliance on actual boots on the ground other than to use them as glorified photo-ops and pacification tools. In other words, as par, the US once again is involved in a conflict ... with one hand tied behind its back.

D'OHbama is Muslim, the Taliban is Muslim. OF COURSE he doesn't want to attack fellow members of the faith.

If "Bite Me" Biden wasn't a few bricks shy of a full load upstairs, he'd be able to figure out why D'OHbama doesn't want to put the boots to his own team (Islam).

You see being divided as the answer and I see being united on what made us great to begin with. ...Where we have fallen apart is getting away from Biblical principles and values.

Agreed. This, however, is really independent of national borders.

No. If within the borders these ideals are reflected, then your criticisms are nulled.

“The LOCAL CHURCH was the founders’ idea of a community organizer.”

No Christ was no "community organizer" - and certainly not in the perverted way Obama is trying to use it. Belief was the common ground and STRONG INDIVIDUALS is what makes up the Christian body. In no way shape or form are Christians considered a cog on a collective wheel. If you believe this, than you are mistaken about Christianity. When you come dow to it, Christianity is about the HEART. Compare that to what is happening to the "heart" today.

Nothing about Obama, including ihis erasing of the individual through cowardly people grouping together as thugs in the name of “community” is Christian. In Christianity the INDIVIDUAL is respected.

Christianity does not promote SOCIALISM either. If you are capable and don't work, you don't eat. People should be charitable to widows and children but NOT to the point where they are ADDICTED to handouts when they can get on their feet again. It is a problem within the Christina community having people get addicted to handouts, when they just need a helping hand. They are as guilty as the government in getting off on power and CONTROLING someone else for different reasons.

I don’t want to move on, but I must. I’ve got stuff to do ... .

Another way of viewing this is a drill down on the heart, as I started to mention. The obama types bring out the worst in those kinds - greed, slander, ridicule evil hypocrisy and I mean - evil. For expample, I don’t need to even be working to know that abortion is wrong. OTOH, It’s “above (Obama’s) paygrade” to address that question.

Back to the heart - if there heart is not right with God, you will have more uniting under Obama types. Obama loves that since he would LIKE people to see him as a “god” of sorts. He fulfills a void they have. I hope you get my drift here. It is beyond borders .. it’s a state of the heart.

You have been really persistent in ignoring where I agree with you, I’ll at least credit you that!

And it’s unfortunate that you confused my appreciation of local churches on society with calling Jesus a socialist. WTF?

Enjoy your day.

Nah, you just don’t like it that I have defeated where you don’t agree.

Yes ... your LANGUAGE sums up where you are relaly coming from! It’s people like YOU, that give Christinaity a bad name and leave a bad taste in their mouth. Clena up your language. What is in YOUR heart, comes out through your BEHAVIOR. In your case it comes through in your LANGUAGE behavior).

Enjoy your day.

I am ... I hope you can manage to have a good day too!
What does sadden me, is people like you.
