Thanks.

It doesn’t look like a comet to me. I just couldn’t figure out what the glowy part was.

All I could think of was kryptonite.

That’s fascinating.

So much for the *dirty snowball* theory, eh?

No, actually the money is not the #1 issue. God and the value of Life is the #1 issue and without Him, none of the other issues matter.
Restoring the country means restoring the place of God in final ultimate authority over us and our laws in peoples hearts.
Without that, all else is meaningless and won’t happen.

As the Founders knew, this country cannot stand if the people are Godless and immoral.

We will go nowhere but downhill if we do not quit sacrificing babies to Ba’al.

Ironic as it ends up being, those who hold the libertarian position of unbridled license for all to do whatever they please without restriction or fear of consequences, are the very ones the most responsible for the INCREASE in government interference in people's personal lives, as the government is called on by the general populace to protect them from those who will not cooperate with others in society.

Exactly. Libertarianism, if put into practice, would quickly lead to anarchy and chaos, which would soon usher in jackbooted tyranny.

Most of the Log Cabin “Republicans” voted for 0bastard.

Good call on that one. He outed himself from day one of his 8 short days here.

There could easily be a fiscally sound totalitarian government.

How many issues do you think congress will address next session? What would you have them focus on? Unlike you and me they can only address a handful of items and actually come to a conclusion. What would you have them focus on?

I think you were confused about the point I was making. I fully support all that Jim and Free Republic stand for and are trying to accomplish. Unfortunately our government is divided between liberals and less than liberals (or at least has been). I have high hopes for the next session. However, I want them to focus on fiscal policy first before getting locked in a never ending debate on some other social issue that will do nothing to improve our current and future economic state.

If you want to zot me for that then please call Jim into this conversation and let him decide if I’m out of line.

That’s because while they are telling everybody NOT to focus on ‘social’issues(abortion, man/woman marriage) and not to be single issue voters, they are focusing on social issues (homosexual marriage, homosexuals in military, homosexual ‘rights’) and voting single issue canidates.

“The problem comes in when people refuse to voluntarily restrict their behavior out of courtesy for others.”

Bingo, we have a winner. When an alcoholic goes home beats his wife, goes to jail, then to count and pleads “society made me do it therefore the government must make amends”, I draw the line. Or gets fired for being drunk on the job and the nanny state says I have to hire him back put through treatment even though my insurance rates will go up, I draw the line.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I told him he stunk at being a troll. I knew his days were numbered! They are going to come in droves now that Barry is damaged goods. Their damage control will fail and they will find out that Jim Robinson and most Freepers are smarter and more astute than they are. Most Freepers seems to be able to smell a troll a mile away. Obots beware, the Kitties are on the prowl.

Those pushing the homosexual and other leftist social agendas are already demonically driven to win. The only reason they’ve made so many inroads is because we (generally speaking) have let them due to cowardice.

So these people are saying to do even less, and let them win even more!

When fighting with an enemy, advice to give up or become a pacifist is treason.

You could be right. I don’t know. I didn’t vote for him. I found out who he was when he was speaking to the far left during the primaries.

Remember that when everyone is looking to support their families and there is no money to pay the police and keep civil order. If people are Godless and immoral that is their choice and not the role of government to enforce. YOU are your keeper NOT ME (or anyone else) and that is what the founders intended. They had no idea how much decay would occur and I'm sure they'd be horrified.

I'm not saying I don't want my fellow man to better constrain his animalistic urges but I certainly don't want government to enforce his behavior.

>>There’s a fire folks,
 
Yes and RINO Wolves, like those wearing Earl Gray sheepskin in the article, helped start it.   Who taught that it's ok to Lie, Cheat, and be otherwise immoral - so long as you're being "fiscally conservative" while doing it?  They did - beginning back in the 60s with their "Sexual Revolution".  
 
They've already started one catastrophic economic fire - and what you suggest is turning them loose with a politically correct book of matches so they can torch the rest of the neighborhood with their Fatal Liberality.
 
The "money" issue can be resolved with creative book-keeping and juggling of 1s and 0s; but the systemic corruption and demoralization of our social framework, not so much.
 
If these mentally ill activists acquire political and military traction - the historically observable result is this:
The Pink Swastika is a powerful exposure of pre-World War II Germany and its quest for reviving and imitating a Hellenistic-paganistic idea of homo-eroticism and militarism.”        
Dr. Mordechai Nisan, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
http://www.defendthefamily.com/pfrc/books/pinkswastika/html/the_pinkswastika_4th_edition_-_final.htm
 
Is it 1933 yet, again?  How did the Politically inCorrect fair economically back then?   Not so good in the camps, ehh?
 
Has human nature changed since then?  No. 
 
Do. Not. Give. Them POWER.

“They are moral and ethical issues (issues of right and wrong) which cannot be overlooked because they undermine and attack what America is and stands for.”

Exactly! Anyone with functioning neurons knows we have to focus on the economy due to the severity of the problem....but we do NOT turn our backs on the serious ethical issues which emanate from the philosophical principles upon which a healthy society is based.
