As a Christian, I am called by God for some purpose. Aren’t you?
Guenevere’s tag line does not specify for what purpose God has called Santorum. Maybe God has called him not for the Presidency, but as a last prophet before a chastisement. The point is we don’t know, and as I said, she does not specify.
...I get it that you don't like my tagline.....but I don't understand why it upsets you so.
It's my opinion, it's part of what I believe.
You can agree or disagree.
You say I accuse others of inappropriate remarks....well, duh...
...there have been plenty of inappropriate remarks against Santorum.
But what does that have to do with my tagline.
If you don't like my tagline, ignore it!
I don't even know who this 'compatriot' is that hurt your feelings ????...who is it?
And whatever he/she said, I didn't.
Take it up with whoever said it, OK.
I'm not against you.....I don't dislike you....I don't even know you....and I'm certainly not here to judge you.
... you're human...you have feelings and I'm sorry they are hurt.
I'm just here to defend Rick Santorum the best I can.
But God is sovereign....He alone knows how all of this will turn out.----I certainly accept that.
...and in the end, His will is what I want most of all.....
Hopefully it will be Rick Santorum
...and if not...so be it.
Also....I should not have let my ire run away this AM.....I don't know who Satin Doll is but surely let his/her post get under my skin.
That is not a productive use of time, for sure.
Thank-you txrangerette for continuing the dialog so we could work things out!
...and responded purely out of emotion.
I should have been more civil....even in disagreeing..
For not doing so, I apologize.
If your guy gets the nomination, I not only will congratulate you, I will surely vote for him!
Truce?
It depends on how a mandate works. Every driver has to buy liability insurance, and drivers that don’t or that can’t (because of their driving record) go into a risk pool and have to post a bond.
The good thing about a mandate is that there has to be some provision for buying health insurance...I was not able to buy it privately (because I’m self-employed) for 25 years because I had had a melanoma removed when I was in my early 30s. I tried to get them to write me a policy with an exception, and they told me that testing for it would cost too much and therefore they wouldn’t insure.
Having people post a bond or go into a pool is not necessariily a bad idea and can help people, such as the self-employed, people with pre-existing conditions, etc., who normally can’t get insurance and then end up exhausting their personal savings (as happened to me once) or going on welfare and having the state pay for it.
What is a bad idea is having a sole provider (the government) and forcing people to either buy or contribute to that.
