Who said anything about wrestling with a girl cancelling out one’s salvation? Sheesh

He’s not standing on the Islamic principle that touching a girl would make him unclean. He’s standing on Christian principles:
-That physical violence between a man and a woman is out of bounds.
-That there are proper boundaries around intimate physical contact between a young man and a young woman.
-That there are God created gender roles that should be respected and not confused.

Disagree with his principles or conclusions, but don’t trash him as an Islamist or an idiot. You wish your daughter finds a young man of his caliber one day.

Contrary to rumor, military chaplains are indeed allowed to pray in the name of JESUS.

It's just more CYA by this perfumed prince. The major mistakes of the occupation are State Department blunders.

Random thoughts on United 93
-Excellent movie, well worth seeing.
-I think it tends to glorify the murderers, at least in the minds of Muslims, it shows them devoutly and reverently saying their prayers in preparation for their mission. I disagree with those who say the terrorists are treated "neutrally".

-One shot has the lead hijacker walking through the airport, he passes by a poster on the wall. The camera focuses briefly on the poster, it has some kind of decadent, sexual content. Message: The west has it coming for this kind of moral decay.

-Realistically captures the confusion at command centers. People may be critical of the Federal response that morning, but they are forgetting that this was a well executed surprise attack, and confusion is the nature of a surprise attack. The film captures this very well, I was proud of the relatively quick response of the responsible officials.

-The moment of clarity came that morning when the second plane hit the second tower. That's when everyone knew we were at war. Movie captures this moment brilliantly.

-The biggest political point made by the movie is the hilarious Euro-weenie with a dutch accent who pleads for everyone not to provoke these men and we'll all be safe. This after they already murdered a few passengers. The Euro-weenie continues to make the ocassional ineffective comment, while real Americans are preparing to take action.

-I love the unravelling of the hijackers as they realize that the passengers are blowing them off and plotting something. The terrorists become the terrorized.

-The film does a first rate job of creating tension start to finish, it's a real nail biter, even though you know what happens.

-When the passengers rolled, there was applause and cheering in my theater, it was a stirring moment. Makes one proud to be an American

Anyone who wants to hear Curt Gowdy, rent or buy the movie "For the Love of the Game". It stars Kevin Costner as a aged pitcher who is pitching a perfect game in his last start. Curt Gowdy does the play by play, and it's magnificent.

This is actually not very good planning, in my opinion. It's filled with passive language, and vague generalites. For example:

"residents who have no means of transportation will be directed"
Who will do the directing?
If they have not means of transportation, what good does it do to "direct" them somewhere?

"Transportation vehicles will be pre-positioned to transport residents to shelters."
Transportation vehicles from where?
Who will pre-position?

Seems pretty vague to me.
