oooohhhhh
“...people content to choose between Satan and Beelzebub have made clear their willingness to let things go to hell. Moreover, the nature of their choice is so clear to them that they practically boast of the passionate hatred that impels them to it. With this practical boast they become the willing, proud accomplices of the very evil they profess to hate.
People who put their trust in God need never accept the devils choice, fighting evil with evil. ....Many Americans pray and profess to believe that His kingdom is near. But in their sovereign duty as citizens they now propose to abandon their profession. It is what has made self-government possible for them. It can do so again, even now, but only if they remember it in time. As for the choice between Obama and Romney, its the devils choice either way. Only evil can come of it.”
There’s the unabashed BIBLICAL TRUTH.
Anyone wanting to play with that and spin it for political truth and expedience, are serving a devil.
Between Obama and Romney, voting for either one is not a choice - it’s a trap served to us by the Destroyer himself.
BTW - I get your point. I just had to rant a bit.
He nails it. I voted for him in the 2000 primary. If only...
I meant to say “I thought conservatives love America”
Not supporting Romney is hating American.
Truth is Simple.
The economic abyss is nothing compared to this:
Mitt quote: "..gay couples raising kids. That's the American way.."
This is why I will never vote for Mitt.
Would you believe between Wormwood and Glubose?
I do pray that God will place His healing Hand upon you and deliver you from leukemia. God has chosen to heal folks as seriously or more seriously afflicted than you. With God absolutely ANYTHING is possible.
AND, don't let us get to you. It isn't personal. May God bless you and yours.
It's the underlined part that gets people zotted. It's just fine to disagree. It's fine to post pro-Romney stuff. It's all around us every day. FR has far more pro-Romney posts than anti-Romney posts. I know. I'm not a Romney supporter.
Why can't it just be, "if you can't tell the difference THEN I DISAGREE WITH YOU or YOU NEED TO THINK IT THROUGH AGAIN or I DON'T THINK YOU SEE THE DANGER?" Why does it have to be "you are stupid?"
Personalized attacks cause trouble. Problem statements generally don't.
I believe pro-Romney supporters have difficulty realizing that conservatives are simply not united behind Romney. They aren't. They won't be. It's the nature of this election.
I do know this, though: Calling someone STUPID is not the way to win anyone to your side. You might never win them to your side anyway, but the "stupid tactic" will drive them away. Is that what you are looking to do?
Thank you so much for posting this.
Thanks BlackElk, I appreciate your kind thoughts. I’m the luckiest guy walking my FRiend. No complaints, I just went off when I saw that stupid Cancer / Aids BS Post. Take care.
Go look at the same anti romney freepers post on other subjects, they call them a lot of freepers worse then stupid.
I was posting how I would never for for Romney or Jeb Bush ever,(I was stupid) But to defeat obama, I would.
Free Republic keeps helping to get Obama elected by not supporting America/Romney,should change name to FreeHelpFor Obama.com
Our Father created us and gave us free will. He did send us a message that we were veering off course.
We ignore it at our own peril. Our own soul and that of the Republic are at stake.
Well you certainly would not view it as being as open to clashing viewpoints as, say, the halls of Congress.
Oh my Lord KC. I commiserate with you that you’re suffering from a declining condition with a disease that has no cure known yet. Some cancers today can be cured, others slowed, and others can’t even be touched. My father had one that was slowed, but not stopped, and he perished of it. I can only pray for what? well if at all possible, that God by utter miracle takes it away, or enlightens scientists with a cure while it still can be used. And in all cases, an extraordinary measure of grace to walk through this suffering. I do not envy the position you’re in. In the long term everyone is suffering from a terminal disease called the fallen condition of life on earth. But some decline faster than others for various reasons.
Doesn't need to be.
It, whether site or residence, is what it is... as (solely) established by the owner/host, in both instances.
Guests who cannot abide by established house rules, in either case, have only one polite option open to them: leave.
Ronald Reagan “might” leave it blank. I couldn’t see him going with a non Republican.
But of course if said person hangs a huge sign on the house screaming “FREE” and then a visitor takes that too literally, they might have reason to be sore.
How do you ever, ever get a candidate that is unbad enough to not be a “devil” in this formulation?
I’ve never seen that defined in the context of the argument. All we have available in the political contests of this fallen world, and all that God sees, is sinners pitted against other sinners.
