Bears repeating, daily.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams-October 11, 1798.
From what I see around me, I don’t think the problem is the simple one of materialism, or the simple one of carnal pleasure.
It is a constant attempt to justify oneself before the court of human opinion, and self-opinion, not realizing that we have been redeemed and justified forever and our worth is eternally sealed because it comes from God, not from anything that we do or are.
Yes, we should try to do a good job at whatever we do in life (Ecclesiastes 9:10). That doesn’t mean our profession defines us and makes us a worthy person or someone to be admired. A vain striving, is what I see around me.
And that is a false god. The god of self, or of worldly prestige. I think that is more dangerous to the soul than shopping sprees and x-rated movies, because it is a false god, more than the others. Just my thoughts on this. Didn’t read the whole article.
That is a keeper. I can forgive those who voted for Obama the first time. After all society is easy to trick. Fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini, Obama... yeah sure I'll buy it... whatever. But voting for Obama the second time demonstrates pure ignorance. And is unforgivable.
>>But voting for Obama the second time demonstrates pure ignorance. And is unforgivable<<
Willful ignorance.
And I hope those who voted for obozo are the first to hit the pavement when we go over the fiscal cliff. And they hit it HARD.
The Russians now lecture us about G-d & democratic values.
This from the land of Lenin, Stalin, & Brezhnev.
Sigh.................
Illiterate and IGNORANT.
Ignrance and the last 3-54 generations of public schooling have brought us to a point where there isn o going back for America. We are being frogmarched inexorably to collapse and communist or other brand of collectivist tyranny which must bring with it famine and population reduction as the ruling class grabs off ever more of the assets and production of the ever shrinking economy and society. it is time to get out. But with America gone where is there to go? The rest of the world, and perhaps the USA, will be divided up among the extant powerful tyrannies and Islam.
Pretty potent information that Pravda has more moral fiber than our MSM...
My conclusion after reading the article: Pravda was right, and Gina Miller is a nut.
Gina Miller agrees with the Pravda columns, and that makes her a nut?
Perhaps I'm missing something. Since you accuse me of being a "nut," maybe you can explain to my nutty mind what the heck you're even talking about.
She does real fine being a nut without the help of Pravda.
How am I a “nut”? Because I believe in God? Because I believe this nation is loaded with uneducated idiots? Because I believe a communist regime is running Washington?
Your baseless insult of my intelligence apparently does not come with an explanation, however weak an explanation it would likely be.
Maybe you should stop reading her articles. You might catch something.
I do not waste my time arguing with people I think can’t be reasoned with. Like you. Have a nice day madam.
I did catch something, and I can’t seem to get rid of it. Though bed rest and antibiotics might help.
You have made no attempt to “reason” with anyone, much less to argue. You have only hurled a bizarre insult at a fellow FReeper who you know nothing about and who you did not imagine would appear here and call you on your baseless rudeness.
Even though I was honestly curious about your reason, since you offer NO reason for your strange opinion of me, I will move along and assume you HAVE no good reason for it.
Good evening to you, too, Driftless.
~Gina Miller
Reason is not something I’ve detected in your various screeds. You appear to be a fanatic.
Again, with the baseless insults. I can see that you are a troll. We don’t like trolls here on Free Republic. We like reasoned debate and healthy conversation, neither of which you will engage in, as you seem to prefer juvenile name-calling instead.
Take a hike.
And yet, like a turd that won't flush, here you still are.
