Share your thoughts about the Saddleback Civil Forum, which starts at 8:00pm EST..
Will Warren throw softballs on the issue of abortion?
Will he give both candidates free passes?
Will this be an attempt to minimize the lives of the unborn while giving higher priority of less urgent social issues?
Obama is pandering to liberal bastards.
Krauthammer on Fox giving Barry the smackdown..
Rick is being a gracious host.
Dem pundit says McCain has a high bar to meet. Surprise, Surprise.
Are there any real churchres left. This evangelical style has pretty much indoctrinated all churches now which is why it’s hard to find a church of substance today.
I’m not even watching the “debates”. I already know who I am voting for. I’m watching the Red Sawks....not winning.
Too early for football.
Yeah, but i would at least want to give him so appearance of a intelligent man.
Thomas Merton’s prayer on evil”
“... keep me, above all things, from sin. Keep me from the death of deadly sin which puts hell in my soul. Keep me from the murder of lust that blinds and poisons my heart. Keep me from the sins that eat a man’s flesh with irresistible fire until he is devoured. Keep me from loving money in which is hatred, from avarice and ambition that suffocate my life. Keep me from the dead works of vanity and the thankless labor in which artists destroy themselves for pride and money and reputation, and saints are smothered under the avalanche of their own importunate zeal. Stanch in me the rank wound of covetousness and the hungers that exhaust my nature with their bleeding. Stamp out the serpent envy that stings love with poison and kills all joy.
Untie my hands and deliver my heart from sloth. Set me free from the laziness that goes about disguised as activity when activity is not required of me, and from the cowardice that does what is not demanded, in order to escape sacrifice.
But give me the strength that waits upon You in silence and peace. Give me humility in which alone is rest, and deliver me from prise which i s the heaviest of burdens. And possess my whole heart and soul with the simplicity of love. Occupy my whole life with the one thought and the one desire of love, that I may love not for the sake of merit, not for the sake of perfection, not for the sake of virtue, not for the sake of sanctity, but for you alone.
For there is only one thing that can satisfy love and reward it, and that is You alone.”
Probably so... most of us realize that he seldom gave actual answers and when he did, the answers were in contradiction to his past (limited) voting record.
“At least he isn’t orange like Algore was”
Orange+Green=Brown
Ebay, Great answer!
John’s answers...direct and inspiring.
” Why was your birth certificate faked, Barry? ‘
That would be a tough question. Obama is getting cotton balls from Barbara Walters Warren.
I think even aged Billy Graham would have asked tougher questions.
Pathetic and slimey attempt by Barry to latch himelf onto his grandfather’s military service by mentioning his visit/photo op to his grave at Punchbowl and his photo op to Pearl Harbor.
I don’t think I have ever heard McCain talk about visiting his father and grandfather’s graves at Arlington.
And he sure as heck wouldn’t have made it a tour stop for the media.
All three people were good, IMHO.
Great answer on the first wife! He just got my Vote twice!
Guts. Brings up his first marriage. It isn’t a difficult subject for him becuase he has dealt with it and even his ex likes him, but it takes guts to bring it up.
Do you notice that he is looking Bill in the eyes when answering?
McCain thinks the failure of his first marriage is his greatest moral failure.
Oh, he lost me by criticizing the President. He is sounding like a dem.
