Except for his unfortunate go along to get along support of TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending and the increased credit limit, etc, Ryan is a pretty good choice. Probably the best choice of the RINOS that were on Romney's short list. I support Ryan for the vice presidency. Wish he were at the top of the ticket, though.
But I still cannot and will not support the grand father of ObamaCare. Romney still loves and brags about his bastard brainchild, RomneyCare, even today when he knows what an anti-liberty socialist POS it is.
And the fact that he advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America for over three decades of his adult lifetime and even advocated that Roe v Wade should be supported and sustained as settled law precludes any consideration whatsoever by this pro-life Christian for Myth Romney for the presidency.
And the fact that he boasted that he would be better for "gay rights" than Ted Kennedy, and proved it just increases my resistance.
That, and his penchant for gun control, his continuing support for global warming, gays in the scouts, gays in the military, and his record of appointing liberal judges makes it all but impossible for me to support him.
Lastly, we're having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon "bigot" on FR. Well, if being in opposition to false prophets and false prophecy makes a Christian believer a bigot, then I guess I'm a bigot. I've posted before that I flat do not believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God. Nor do I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Christian bible warns us to be weary of false prophets and that I am. Romney being the presumptive Republican nominee does not change that fact.
I can only pray that God will give you proper guidance in your life and intelligence to express a more “Christian” opinion.
***Was Jesus expressing a “christian” opinion when he confronted the false teachers of His day, calling them ‘vipers’ and “Sons of the Devil”?
My son-in-law would LOVE to see your stuff!
He’s a WWII buff, and has a small musuem in his house full of books and models and dioramas and WWII memoribilia.
He has a CarryAll that he has restored and drives to air shows and other military gettogethers. (It’s name is, wait for it...
...ELSIE!
(My daughter’s an ELSIE, too)
?
Who else is left?
;^)
Dang!
I missed anOTHER meeting!!
But then; I'm not as good as the rest of the FI cabal.
Back in 2000, it was the temple of conservatism.
***Yes, and starting around that time, FR attracted tons of republicans, many of whom have turned out to be CINOs. It is these CINOs who have lowered the quality of this forum. FR is not a republican website, it is a conservative website. Trying to separate conservatives from their conservative principles on a conservative forum is not conservative.
Uh...
...OK
G’morning Elsie dear...
How’s the goats ???
This is a BIG thread, and I could easily have missed the 'substantive' stuff amid all of the namecalling that is going on.
Please re-post the things you think are in need of my input, and I may find time to address them.
How many dead babies will “conservatives” be willing to trade to get Mittler elected and to destroy the GOP as a political vehicle for the translation of conservative ideals into governing reality?
***Yikes. Very stark terms. Thanks for the reminder of how important it is to stick to conservative principles. We’re in the middle of another holocaust.
As to timing, let us have war without end 24/7/365 within the GOP until all of the elitist trash and their sycophants are politically exterminated.
***The Civil War was over slavery. And WWII had its holocaust. This current holocaust, in the stark terms you convey, could trigger a war just as you have described. It is a different kind of war, but war nonetheless.
I'd like to see the age distibution of FR.
Or even just THIS thread!!
You are just a BIGOT for pointing that out!
--MormonDude(I'm going to withhold my support of FR until we MORMONs are treated like the good Christians we say we are!)
Nah...
There are PLENTY of us who did NOT have this experience.
We came to Christ much later in life; when faced with the TRUTH found in the Bible.
GOD's Word is where the falsity of MORMONism is revealed.

Furthermore, if, as a Christian, you are not to judge, then why did you just do that to me when you called me a Hypocrite?
***So simple, and yet... it will prove to be a point just beyond his grasp.

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte , Nebraska , it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Missouri . The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem. And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet: |
|
What do you see nurses?
What are you thinking
A crabby old man,
Uncertain of habit,
|
What do you see?
when you're looking at me?
who is not very wise,
with faraway eyes?
|
|
Who dribbles his food,
When you say in a loud voice,
Who seems not to notice
And forever is losing
|
and makes no reply.
'I do wish you'd try!'
the things that you do.
a sock or shoe?
|
|
Who, resisting or not,
With bathing and feeding
Is that what you're thinking?
Then open your eyes, nurse:
|
lets you do as you will,
the long day to fill?
Is that what you see?
you're not looking at me.
|
|
I'll tell you who I am,
As I do at your bidding,
I'm a small child of Ten,
Brothers and sisters
|
as I sit here so still,
as I eat at your will.
with a father and mother,
who love one another.
|
|
A young boy of Sixteen,
Dreaming that soon now
A groom soon at Twenty,
Remembering, the vows
|
with wings on his feet.
a lover he'll meet.
my heart gives a leap.
that I promised to keep.
|
|
At Twenty-Five, now
Who need me to guide,
A man of Thirty,
Bound to each other
|
I have young of my own.
and a secure happy home.
my young now grown fast,
with ties that should last.
|
|
At Forty, my young sons
But my woman's beside me
At Fifty, once more,
Again, we know children;
|
have grown and are gone,
to see I don't mourn.
babies play 'round my knee,
my loved one and me.
|
|
Dark days are upon me:
I look at the future,
For my young are all rearing
And I think of the years
|
my wife is now dead.
and shudder with dread.
young of their own.
and the love that I've known.
|
|
I'm now an old man
Tis jest to make old age
The body, it crumbles;
There is now a stone
|
and nature is cruel.
look like a fool.
grace and vigor, depart.
where I once had a heart.
|
|
But inside this old carcass,
And now and again
I remember the joys;
And I'm loving and living
|
a young guy still dwells,
my battered heart swells.
I remember the pain.
life over again.
|
|
I think of the years, all too few:
And accept the stark fact
So open your eyes, people;
Not a crabby old man;
|
gone too fast.
that nothing can last.
open and see.
Look closer . . . see ME!!
|
So; is it your contention that Christians should NEVER judge ANYTHING? ANYWHERE?
And what criteria are you using to JUDGE me in this manner?
Oh!
You are judging my behavior; eh?
