Just caught the news. Nancy Pelosi announcing that she is passing a bill to have the CIA work on Global Warming as a threat. Global Freakin Warming !!!!!!!
With everything we are facing, with the FBI busting Jihadis TODAY in NJ, she wants the CIA to waste time on Global Warming.
I am totally stuned. Are we insane as a people? Are we doomed? Is God punishing us by sending abject fools to lead us?
I for one wouldn’t be upset if the CIA did a little investigating of global warming “activists”.
ROFLMAO
Totally ignored, for the most part, but the platitudes are all here ...
we took prayer out, the bible out ... and etcetera's ... but to actually quote scripture?
Many years ago there were three graphics that showed up here that were very popular ... The bald eagle, and Washington and a native American.
Whoever photoshopped them put a tear in one eye.
Perhaps it's time for the Jeremiahs to come out ... lots of teaching aids so even the simple would understand ... but no one moved ... so Jeremiah cried a lot.
I think all of the God ordained winning warfare was before Jeremiah, and there was no more until Jesus.
God, help us.
I hope your neighbors home is sitting on a sink hole.
All by herself? Sounds like Madame Speaker needs to retake Civics.
“Pay no attention to the jihadi behind the curtain, Nanny...”
She was on the news earlier today blaming Republicans for high gas prices.
I said, “how can she say that with a straight face?”
Then I remembered the surgeries.
The process described below has, sadly, probably gone too far to be halted. We ARE doomed.

I am not sure if it was Jefferson or not, but one of the founders made a very profound observation, that is part of our swan song, and that was...”Once a significant portion of the population figures out that they can vote themselves a portion of the treasury, the republic will be doomed...”(paraphrased).
God, those men, knew our democracy better than most modern men...even before it really formed.
stuned = stunned
Awwww heck. The 'Wizards of Langley' have probably figured out a way to get it done by now.
No problemo.
Hands down: Leslie Nielsen.
and so it is our own fault
Not just Pelosi, but Al Gore, I believe is insane also.
collectively as a society - yes, personnally NO WAY!
I’mma me, notta we....lol
I’d be happy to see Texas just go on and succeed, kick out all the liberal nut jobs from Travis county, send the Texas army down to the border and revoke Bush’s Texas passport.
Damn life would be good!
Thomas Jefferson issued MULTIPLE warnings we have ignored.
“Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic but will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, LOSE THE MEMORY OF FREEDOM? Material abundance without CHARACTER is the path to destruction.”
(Jefferson understood that the system they left us would produce more abundance for more people than any before it.)
After watching the early madness of the French Revolution first-hand, he returned here and told friends that if the socialism then ravaging Europe ever came to our shores, two things would happen:
1. We would soon become a highly contentious and litigious people as we shouldered one another out of the way to get “OURS” from the public trough and
2.the public trough would quickly become empty.
We have largely emptied the public trough, burst through its rotted bottom and now tussle in the mud and slime beneath as we thrash about wildly in search of a PRIVATE trough to plunder.
And it may be too late to turn this thing around.
Pray for our grandchildren. We’re leaving them a MESS far worse than that we inherited from OUR parents and grandparents.
At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about “The Fall of The Athenian Republic” some 2,000 years prior:
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From Bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”
IF you clean out those liberals and illegals there might be room for me down there. Sounds like a plan. Hillary and Co up here in NY are depressing. “We” have elliot spitzer for governor now with a state dem controlled government behind him. If it wasn’t for them fighting amongst themselves I would have starved for all the taxes!
Imagine what will happen if they controlled Congress. Oops, they already do...
Take a deep breath and try not to dwell on it too much; it’ll drive you crazy. We just have to do what we need to do and what we know to do and trust God to sort it all out in the end.
What's this "we" business? I want to see her in chains.
