Washington Post ^ | 15AUG04 | Blaine Harden

Posted on 08/15/2004 1:54:07 AM PDT by familyop

KALISPELL, Mont. -- Until he was arrested this year in his underwear in a motel room with a nearly naked young woman who was behind in her payments to his finance company, no businessman in this town was more respected than Richard A. Dasen Sr.

I refuse to sign up on the Post website, so I can't read this. Can you tell us what happened, in your own words of course!

the washington post never misses an opportunity to give a christian a black eye with a sex scandal, even if they have to go all the way to a tiny town in montana to do it.

She said that Dasen was a reliable supporter of conservative Christian causes.....

How did I guess this was gonna be the case before I read this article?

Cynical?

Sex will drive some men over a cliff. A powerful addiction it is.

Sex is a dangerous thing, without strong societal controls. The left are mostly rebel libertines; they scarcely comment on it negatively except to attack someone on the "right" or someone claiming to be, hypocrisy being "the tribute vice pays to virtue."

"the washington post never misses an opportunity to give a christian a black eye with a sex scandal, even if they have to go all the way to a tiny town in montana to do it."

They live to do it.

Still, this article is a little confusing, he is paying the women for sex, but some of the women owe him money and are having sex for debt? Also, at the very end it is revealed that some folks had a clue about what was going on. I thought in small towns people knew everything about everybody. If I moved to a small town they'd probably throw me out for being too boring.

Our city police chief retired in January to pursue a new career selling real estate in Kalispell. Seems to be a big draw for California equity bandits.

See how much he spent on those women (shocker). How many women would have gotten away from their methamphetamine habits without him? How many marriages would have survived without his enticements? How many children would be waking up to see their fathers in the mornings (as most such women get custody of those children) without Dasen's influence? How many businessmen do as he did? What kind of country are we living in?

Well it is not bad that the paper mentions this fact. The problem is that never write, "Bob Jones was an Anti-God homosexual child rapist." Or if it is a Taxocrat they never mention that little.

Case in point, Shellby I think his name is in CA that was taking monies from companies doing business with the state. They do not mention his party affil.

Homeless people who commit heinous crimes are labeled as "of no fixed address", instead of homeless.

Christians are by nature sinners...just like every other human being on the planet......

Christ came to save mankind from it's sins....and through a relationship with him...heal
us of our sin nature...

Because of still being in human form..even after Christ establishes a relationship with us the devil (our old adversary) and our own flesh are against us...till the day we die and are transformed...

The devil and his media love to hold up fallen Christians (one's the devil and the devils human operatives have encouraged to fail) as not only an example of failure on the Christian's part to live a life of decency but MORE IMPORTANTLY the liberal press wishes to use fallen man as an example of
Jesus failing man....this is their real goal...to keep others from Christ....(as if it were possible)

The press tries to use a fallen man to prove Christ is not God and is therefor defeat able by Satan...(and the anti Christ "values" foisted upon man by Satan's world system...)

Fallen man needs to broken and brought to repentance....in order to be truly sorry for his sins...and to re-freshen his gratitude to God for salvation...

Humans (not even Christians) are capable of seeing through God's eyes...

And if Christians are incapable of seeing accurately through God's eyes....the liberal God hating main stream press.....

Hasn't got a chance in Hades....

imo

On the other, he seems to have been effective at reducing crime in the community.
The flow of money to local methamphetamine users seems to have dried up since Dasen's arrest, Harball said, adding that there has been a "flood of petty crime from addicts seeking cash for their habit."

"He pretty much single-handedly funded the methamphetamine trade here in Kalispell for a number of years," Harball said, as women used the money Dasen paid them to pay for their habits.

Women who do meth look horrible. They lose too much weight, their hair, their teeth and their complexions are ruined. Meth ages you a decade almost instantly. These are skanky women who are physically, mentally and spiritually ill and not at all attractive.

The unWashed Post is on a mission to make Guv McGreevey look like a saint compared to Republicans.

That is a question I am asking a lot lately.
