Don't forget the poison! They have to have something to drink to make a point.
Maybe the McCains didn't tell her that Russian have nuclear weapons (maybe that will be covered in next week's class) and that a Russo-American war would be a no-win scenario. Talk about a highway to nowhere...
I also think she is not doing any expectant mothers any favors with her idea that one can have a baby and be back at work three days later.
I think the women who are so enamored with her may have to re-examine their etnhuisasm when they realize that employers could begin to hold women to Palin's standard.
If the Governor can do it why not everyone else? Why would one have to put up with 8 to 12 weeks of maternity leave, having to hire temps, when it is obvious that women don't need more than three days, as the Governor clearly demonstrated?
I believe, wrongly perhaps, that Apostolic Christians on these threads only think prayer is by rote, not from the heart. You can pray what your prayer book tells you to, but please don’t make one up yourself. That’s heresy. I hope I’m wrong.
Fine, you and your buddy can vote for Obama while you hold hands and tell each other how smart you are.
An Obama ad claimed to have vetted 159 blogs for the Obama convention. The Daily KOS was one of those blogs. That makes the Daily KOS an official spokesperson of the DNC.
FDR also refused to help our European friends for two years when they needed us.
I can't think of a single American president, no matter how liberal by your standards, who would have done what you suggest—surrender immediately or negotiate for a while and then surrender.
Carter surrendered in effect to the terrorists by refusing to do anything about the hostage crisis for 444 days. Only at the end did he even try something. Clinton in effect surrendered to the terrorists by thinking only of himself in refusing Osama who was offered to him on a silver platter. Finally, if Obama had been in charge just before the surge he would have surrendered in effect to the terrorists by leaving Iraq at all costs. Today, Iraq would be led by Al Qaida and Iran.
I don't see how anyone can divorce the faiths of the Founders from how this country was originally designed. For many Christians, faith is integral to their lives. They LIVE their faiths. Therefore their faiths come through in everything they do, such as starting a country. Given what I've heard said about Orthodoxy, it surprises me you would disagree with that.
Again, their individual beliefs notwithstanding, where do you find Christ mentioned specifically in the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution?
I quoted to you Bible passages identifying Christ AS Creator. It's right there in the Declaration.
Also, Ben Franklin says in his own autobiography that he was a deist. Yet the Judge you quote seems to imply otherwise. He knows better than Ben Franklin himself?
I have no idea what Franklin's Deism entailed. Just as liberals and conservatives today are much different from a long time ago, the term Deist may have had a much different meaning back then. It's not telling either way anyway. He was one man.
FDR also refused to allow ships carrying 900 Jews into this country.
While I know there are a lot of rote prayers for them, I am sure they would say their prayers are heartfelt and they are free to pray whatever they want that is in line with their Church teaching. My issue is much more with who those prayers are to, since it appears to be the case that they are directly to God comparatively less and to others comparatively more.
Others? Like who, for instance?
Like Mary and the other Saints. As you know, Apostolics argue that praying to Mary, etc., is the same as one of us asking for prayer from a friend. I am forced to deny that explanation since I have read too many of these prayers that ask for specific supernatural things, NOT from God, but directly from the Saint him or herself. I don't ask my friends on earth to grant me supernatural requests, but that is the common practice for Apostolics. :) So, I can only conclude that the prayer is actually TO the Saint, and NOT TO God.
Ah, gotcha! I can only agree.
Well for one reason...
