Personally, I voted for Bush twice. So, please don't blame me for Kerry. In NY (Like Lousiana) a republican couldn't get elected with much regularity unless he offered free booze and liquor at the polls.

In any case, we've had republican mayors and governors for the last 12 years, and that's in a place where New York City alone accounts for half the population of the state. That ought to tell you something right there.

And New York city was once full of military bases (Brooklyn Navy Yard, Staten Island Homeport, Floyd Bennet Field, Fort Tilden, etc) which were all closed at one tim eor another for political purposes. In New York stated alone, you'll find Fort Drum, Fort Totten, West Point, Plattsburgh AFB. This state shoulders it's military responsibilities, so that argument holds no water.

As for midwesterner's being "more responsible" the myth of the yeoman farmer, self-sufficient, rough and ready, the backbone of American should have died along with the wave of foreclosures that have occurred since the 1970's. There ar plenty of repsonsible and self-sufficient people her eint he Northeast, we're just outnumbered by the dregs of society. Not our fault.

And I never accused you personally of taking a handout. I haven't taken one either. But don't frame the argument as rich, arrogant, selfish New Yorkers begging for money they don't need when we have the ghosts of 3,000 on our minds and the reminder of that day still in plain sight.

A few years ago my company was a NASCAR team co-sponsor. I've seen the demographics breakdown of the average NASCAR fan. It was surprisingly high with a large percentage holding college degrees or post graduate.

[cripplecreek]

Pit crews are full of engineering degrees and there are a growing number of drivers with college degrees. My father in law and my mother in law are both MDs and they go to every race at MIS as do my wife (who is a PA) and I.

Seems fishy. I'm thinking we'll see this one on Snopes.

That was part of the rift between Rusty Wallace and Ryan Newman. Rysty would drive and diagnose the car by experience and the seat of his pants, Newman, a mechanical engineer would only use math and computers to study the best way around the track.

A visitor from Zimbabwe could easily be fooled by such a large denomination bill.

Yes, but Zimbabweans are used to seeing $million bills that aren't worth anything.

God would never "save you out of" His church. I pray you find your way home soon. You shouldn't listen to the lies of Chick, etc. Read the early Church fathers and your Bible to find the whole truth. Good luck to you!

No religion will save anyone - it's Jesus Christ plus nothing.

Yup ;)

The million-dollar question: Will you go to Heaven? Here’s a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery already with her in his heart.” Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done those things God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for you. Jesus took your punishment upon Himself—“For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today and trust Jesus, and God will grant you everlasting life. Then read your Bible daily and obey it. www.livingwaters.com

How do they fit all that in the border of the bill?

Is it OK if we skip the religion and just trash NASCAR? ;'}

[Religion Moderator]

NASCAR is an issue - feel free to discuss it all you want, but do not make it personal in the Religion Forum.

Ray Comfort is a nutty, low-cal version of Jack Chick...and as insanely anti-Catholic as Chick is. I'm glad to see my tax dollars at work.

It appears to me that to you everyone who isn't a catholic is an anti-catholic. I follow Ray Comfort's TV Ministry and I have never heard him utter a single syllable of anti-catholic propoganda. But then since I am not a Catholic, you probably consider this post to be anti-catholic.

"I'm glad to see my tax dollars at work."


Supressing free speech???

Is that what you pay taxes for???

[AlaninSA]

No - nailing people who attempt to make fake money (for any reason)...yep THAT is what I want to see for my tax dollar.

The guy's a nut, a bigot and, as I said, a low-cal version of Jack Chick. Anything like this that can be done to Islamic Jihad, the KKK or the Chick-like nuts...I'll cheer for that.

[PetroniusMaximus]

"The guy's a nut, a bigot and, as I said, a low-cal version of Jack Chick."

I am fairly familiar with Ray Comfort's ministry and your mischaracterization of him as a "nut, a bigot etc..." is ill-informed. He is no such thing. I challenge you to post some of his statements you have found to be "bigoted". I doubt you will be able to.

Just because someone disagrees with you and/or your theology does not make them a "bigot" - and it doesn't give you or the Federal government the right to suppress them.

If you think it does, you are posting to the wrong website.
