""...Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. They enmesh you in a grander moment, as if history has stopped flowing passively by, and, just for an instant, contracted around you, made you aware of its presence, and your role in it. He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh, over color, over despair. The other great leaders I've heard guide us towards a better politics, but Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves, to the place where America exists as a glittering ideal, and where we, its honored inhabitants, seem capable of achieving it, and thus of sharing in its meaning and transcendence...""

Especially in Iowa and New Hampshire.
My God, people really are this stupid.
And they wonder how Hitler got the German people to support his insanity.
In a post here in the last few weeks, it was mentioned that Pope Benedict declared direct war on Satan. Something about having an army of the purest in heart and mind to fight and be successful against Satan. There are ancient Scriptures that are not in the Bible because they made no sense then. The Vatican has them. The Swiss Army has to keep security there. Things about Confucious and Mohammed are there too.
Uhh, what do you mean by "ancient Scriptures?" Old Testament stuff? Other Pauline epistles? If they're so heavily guarded, how does anyone know what's in them?
Quix, what is he talking about.....?
I think he got people to throw litres of beer at each other in bars.
Old stuff. In Greek and old Italian and Aramaic. You need to at least have a Doctorate to study them.
If you put a gun to my head and said, "choose Hillary or Obama," I would have to choose the Hildabeast. Obama is a loose cannon and although Hillary is dangerous, she is more calculating, a computer in a pants suit plus I think she would be easier to shut down via Congress than Obama with his charm. His smile spooks me."
Thank you for you insight and discernment. Being from Illinois, I have seen this since 2004 and I'd begun to think everyone else is blind, many of them otherwise intelligent people. An emotional "worship phenomena." After four years of this, it's comforting to know it's not just me.
"Computer in a pants suit," that's good! Wait, I'd have to change my screenname. This would make Oprah the False Prophet!
They actually let scholars look at them?
Yep.
God have mercy.
Anyone read their Bible lately?
Daniel 9-10 or so . . . Ezek 38 . . . Revelation . . . Matthew 24 . . .
Important insights, imho.
Oprah does some good things for couples and families . . .
but if she is clueless about the END TIMES and falls for satanic counterfeits . . . she will eventually pay the same price the whole lot of such will.
Charity for the Greek CHARIS implies one gives something with absolutely no expectation of anything in return, an outward grace, including respect or thanks, completely void of anything of indebtedness. Institutional giving attempts to quantify the need in providing the gift, but in so doing implies a false economy which begs the question of true charity.
=- = =
INDEED.
An insightful observation, imho.
Thx.
Sobering thoughts.
Certainly evil is masterful at being slick and seductive.
And . . . at setting up destructive—damned if you do and damned if you don’t—double binds.
So what has leaked about about them?
Though related . . . decieved and deluded . . . especially demonically deceived and deluded . . . is worse.
Yes. There are things left out of the King's Bible and the Roman Catholic Bible. Many stories that did not have the grace of God to inform others with any meaning. The Old Testament is there. And Jesus is there. A lot of other stuff was written that has historical value but not enlightened value.
Not what you would read at the check-out counter. On this point, let's all pray for Britney Spears. Her life is a total wreck. But she is alive and there is hope with just a little prayer. She had a mental breakdown.
Telling people that "hope" is their best strategy is essentially telling them to leave their future entirely up to others. That's about as un-American as you can get. That's consistent with this weasel refusing to wear an American flag pin and refusing to respect the Pledge of Allegiance.
Let's just say that if this freak gets the Democrat nomination any Republican with some integrity and guts can destroy this guy in no time at all.
Huh? The guy is an oily scumbag....
Okay, I admit Hussein's voice has a mature timbre to it - - probably the result of his cigarette habit - - but in his words I hear nothing but slick nothings, as if my eyes have glazed over and history has stopped flowing passively by and instead enmeshed me in a confused boredom somewhere between sleep and a sinus headache.
Ah well - - they said Hitler was a good orator, too. Whatever.
Somebody laced the author’s punch with psychedelic ‘shrooms which began to take effect.
