You are correct. Also think she was in my house while i was at church. I not agree to such a thing again.
I’ve stated my case as to what the flag symbolized to me. You and I disagree but it seems what I get form you is only I need to learn, not you.
Serious answer Bray. I stay Catholic for the same reason I stay American. Things come and go and I am loyal, probably to a fault, to beliefs I have pondered over many years and no other church or country comes close to what I already have and am. I respect the religious choices of others in large part because I see the enormity of divergence in practice and interpretation in established denominations and the thousands of churches peopled by humans who have varying views and beliefs about God and how to worship Him and how He wants them to live this life He has given us. I remind myself that I came into this world a single individual and will depart the same way. I will be responsible to God for how I have lived and not for how others think I should. Whatever religious faith any of us has needs nurturing in whatever way we can and your articles on FR are quite helpful in that regard and I appreciate your offering them each week.
For the record I am one of the HIV causes AIDS deniers. The idea that one single retrovirus is the sole cause of the destruction of the immune system that leads to AIDS related death is simply absurd.
The at risk gays are those who engage in anal sex with 50 or 100 partners while consuming immune suppressing drugs. These are the ones who are going to have a shorted lifespan. Multiple repeated infections, overuse of antibiotics and anti-viral medications would do any of us in. We know this happens. Why we blame HIV for it is beyond me.
What percent of the Gay Community is this group? I think it is pretty large but I really don’t know.
But the real mystery is: why don’t we have better data?
And the answer is (I’m betting): the Gay Community doesn’t want to know the truth.
Fair enough, and I did not mean that you can only learn from me.
I believe we can learn from each other, and I also see you point in regard to not only the Flag, but the entire War and what caused it, how it played out, what we lost and what we gained. The whole thing is indeed complex, far more than most people realize.
I do wish African slavery never came to our shores. But wishes aren’t realistic. Nevertheless, the Virginians themselves said it so true and good that the words are immortal—
1st: I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
—Patrick Henry
2nd (and the best single sentence written by man and not in the Bible): We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
—Thomas Jefferson
The KKK should not be associated with any flag.
The Klan should be associated with the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party is their one and only, true allegiance.
(out of breath)
Larri, Larri, Larri...nevermind.
Very good and accurate point. We should all remember that!
And more-so, the plague-infested boy-rapers don't want us to know the truth.
Well, the Klan was founded by Confederate veterans.
The Klan was founded by democrats who not only happened to be Confederate War veterans, but also supported slavery before the war and built a political system to perpetuate it, and when they were thwarted on the filed of battle, built another political system--Jim Crow--to perpetuate their racial hatred.
In every case, it was a certain subset of people--democrats--who had their hand in all these things.
Yes, but I said "Confederate" veteran, not "Civil War veteran". I don't think there were a lot of Southern Republicans at that time. (other than black people)
Quite a lesson on how the socialist democrats are ready on a literal moments notice to turn whatever tragic event occurs into an advancement of their agenda. A 21 year old white male kills nine people in a church because he hates blacks and immediately there is a hue and cry for gun control and removal of the Confederate Battle Flag. The tragedy of lives lost has become secondary to agendas which are always front burner for socialist democrats. Confederate flag out, Rainbow flag in. Guns for American citizens out. Guns for socialist democrats and their elite in. And on and on. Rest in peace for those victims who were murdered and who are now pawns in the democrat war on this Republic.
You said a mouth full. I agree. As Rahm Emanuel says: never let a crisis go to waste.
That 's your opinion. My opinion is that this may not be the forum for the type of RINO derangement you are advocating.
My pastor gave essentially the same message I wrote today that Christians are under attack. His answer was to help them find salvation.
The reason I asked is I was attending a church that became more and more liberal until I left and found a Bible based church that is amazing. He reads and likes my blurbs. I could not attend a liberal church again since it does not teach the hard messages.
Caught Jindal and Kasich. F Chuck was extremely hostile to Jindal (as usual to Republicans) but he gave a good accounting. Unlike that jackass Kasich, Jindal did not use the ‘it’s now settled law’ cop out on traditional marriage.
I could add Jindal to my short list of acceptable candidates except what is the beef in Louisiana towards him? I read the LA forum here and could not figure it out. Did not cut spending enough? The accomplishments he listed such as pushing through school vouchers seem outstanding.
Unless someone can point out a major problem, I could support him although Ted Cruz is by far my first choice.
Speaking of which, I will now go to
http://www.tedcruz.org/donate/
to send Ted some more $$. I urge others to please consider doing the same. The MSM are ignoring him and he needs $$ to get his name out to the low-info voters.
I’m 65 years old and I grew up in North Carolina. So hell yes I have black friends. And guess what a few of them are in the Sons of Confederate Veterans with me and they listen to Hank Williams and George Jones. I wasn’t born in a ghetto and they weren’t either. And they had a mama and daddy growing up just like I did.
My black friends think these whole Confederate flap is a bunch of BS cooked up with race-baiters. And they’re exactly right.
Sure enough we need to get down and dirty no question about it is great
