It was a sobering dinner party last night... Hosted by a London billionaire in his exquisite home...but the conversation between the ten of us was stone-cold serious...
"You know what my biggest fear is?" our host asked. "It's not really Obama, for what he's done is to accelerate what the liberals have been slowly doing for decades -- so quickly that their socialism is obvious to everyone. Which means the solution is obvious to everyone. My biggest fear is that voters will give Republicans the power to repair America on November 2nd -- and the Republicans won't have the courage to do it."

Not sure why you directed “Are you still killing your unborn” to me, since it is not applicable to me.
That's the way federalism is supposed to work. This huge centralized government is a travesty.
It is. It's hard to say what is going on, other than it's more every year. The comparison between 1980 and 2010 is horrifying. On the other hand, there is no comparison to the number of people "qualifying" for it, which is undoubtedly trending upward with intergenerational poverty; or the accuracy of the source.
Congress specializes in voodoo economics, especially the Dems. I remember during the fuss about government insurance for children, Bush offered an additional 15M per year, but the Dems wanted 30M per year, so they screamed "Bush is denying health care to children!"
Is that graphic yours? Is it copyrighted! I’d love to use it too but don’t want to infringe if it is your property.
You speak truth. Only God can help us now. Keep praying.
Nothing personally to you; other than you are probably a United States Citizen and apparently you believe what the Bible says; I wanted to contrast the two opposing ideas.
You have lots of excellent quotes on your home page!
We do need to build the stable for the next two or three generations. The left has built their machine over more than a century. The right did not realize how much future orientation they would need to have every single day. Many well-disposed people simply cannot grasp why anyone would not want to be a well-disposed person. Free people do not see the need to stay organized against a threat.
And we were building on a long history of shared Judeo-Christian values. Besides FDR's heresies, the SCOTUS decision in 1948 to put the rights of atheists on the same footing as those who believe in "Nature's God" was the end of our Constitution. You can't have it both ways. Either their is a God or there isn't; no amount of believing in either direction will change that reality.
We already gave Republicans the power of the House. It’s the GOP stupid business as usual.
I think socialists (fascists/Marxists) own both parties. I think big business is socailist and their money is all that matters to the GOPers.
I think in their world they view global fascism as a compromise or “moderate” political position in competition with the DNC’s global Marxists.
Conservatives reject both. But we have no money for the third way - our constitutional Republic. This is why there is so much turmoil in the Tea Party.
Yep, thats why the persona of tht “one size fits all” doesn’t work...There are some people (liberal/socialist minded) that believe that...
And that getting any traction will be ALL our undoing...
I agree, but it is a difficult thing to minister to someone who doesn’t believe (or want to believe) theologically as you or I do...
We look at a belief in a higher authority (God) as a personal belief, a free will as some may say...We knpw right from wrong in that aspect...
Where a person of a liberal/social belief in (God) as another source of “whats in it for me” aspect, as they do in EVERYTHING else they come across in their lives...And they pass that entitlement emntality down from generation to generation...
“Who is to blame for this???” They look at it that way as well...Instead of directing their efforts to picking themselves up by the bootstraps, they look to government to give them the assistance they could very well do on their own, and that perpetuates the cycle where it becomes an expected thing that when you are down the government is, and will be there to help...
And anyone that stands in the way is a racist homophobic, hate filled person who only benefits from the down-trodden of the world...Much less this country...
This country is already fractionated to a point where if we ever did correct some of the crippling entitlement attitudes of some of our citizens, I still believe eventually a split (politically, demographically, economically and socially) will happen...Maybe not now, but eventually...
Again, just my opinion...
Not mine. Came from the original article at the link.
When it comes to the law of the land as handed down by the SCOTUS, I don't have ministering in mind to people who reject God. What I have in mind is that our legal system should not be continually sidelining the rights of Christians in case a small minority of atheists "feel offended."
There is no excuse for imposing the secular/atheist religion of homosexualist genital worship on Christians in schools or the workplace. They can do what they want in private. We should not be forced to say it's "normal", which is a distortion of the very word "normal" -- which means "what most people do."
Yep, but to me it has never been about the physical act of homosexuality that bothers me that much...
It is, like you illude to the constant attack of our morality, which tells us that activity is wrong, (so don’t do it, a simple concept I figure), so they go after teh benevolent government to constantly try to legitimize the “activity” on a variety of fronts, to get approval from governemnt and condemn those that do not agree with it...AND, to get benefits that traditional man/woman marriages receive, tax-wise and healtcare plans provided by some employers...
There is always a combo job with liberal progressive BS...
