a tempest in a teapot. It’s not done in a spirit of anything but good faith. To return gestures of goodwill with scorn seems un-Christian to me.

Two major faiths see it as more than a 'tempest in a teapot.'

On some level the CJCLDS acknowledges this is disturbing to people and their families, as The CJCLDS apologized to Simon Wiesenthal for baptizing his deceased parents after negotiations resulting in the CJCLDS agreeing not to baptize any more Jews.

When Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Peace winner, found his name on a database that is used for potential proxy baptisms. He was very much alive and outraged by the insensitivity.

Because in 1995 the CJCLDS agreed to stop posthumous baptism of all Jews and has been caught red handed in breech of that agreement.

In 2008 the Vatican instructed diocesan officials not to provide information form parish records to the CJCLDS for the same reason.

So much for considering this practice good faith or gestures of goodwill. They are continuing to do something they know is objectionable to people of other faiths, even after formal negotiations.

You're right in the respect that Jews are decidedly 'un-Christian.'

The GOP is stupid for allowing mainstream media personalities to moderate debates. They are the enemy, and they are in cahoots with Obama.

Yet when Andrew Breitbart said this very thing in his speech at CPAC - the crowd stared at him like a bunch of billy goats. That goes triple for the group of young fresh scrubbed faces to the right of the stage - who impolitely applauded no one but Romney.

If I was Newt, I would threaten to run third party if I lose and this matter is not fixed. The RNC has no right to acknowledge anything other than the rules. The rules were not changed, so Florida's delegates must be distributed proportionally.

Third party will almost guarantee an Obama re-election. We must turn back the RNC and their minions and make them understand - any way we can - that they merely represent our wishes, they are not our overlords.

The RNC has already acknowledged that it is Winner Take All. The only place and time that Gingrich campaign can bring this up is during the RNC’ s Committee on Contests hearing which congregates 2 weeks before the RNC Convention in Tampa in August or have enough RNC delegates on the floor to challenge it. They are playing this down as perplexing and almost desperate.

School them Professor Gingrich - then throw a monkey in their wrench!

Fight on Newt, we’ll stand with you.

After McCain I just felt used. Like I was a rube

Great post and you are very polite. I felt like something a little stronger than a rube. Never again.

Newt 2012

Thank you, CW. Also, thanks for all your work on behalf of Gov. Perry.

Romney's idiotic remarks will be drooled over, spun and washed clean by days end via the same cabal that said Gov. Perry couldn't communicate.

(BTW - Have you seen the new Ranger/DPS boats Gov. Perry has deployed on the Rio Grande? Fearsome.

Some misguided individuals here will call them “ferrys for illegals’ or Perry Ferrys or something equally as insipid.

I say, “Thank you Governor Perry.”

Newt 2012

“I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there”

That's right. Why - the poor are safe on top of the car just like Seamus. Safely locked in their air tight - but not diarrhea tight - crate. Why, they are perfectly fine.

If it needs repair, I’ll fix it.

Darn tooting! If they don't like it, I'll jerk them out of the their air - but not diarrhea proof - crate, hose them down and let them then shiver themselves silly. Now, let's talk about me!

The very poor are nothing more to this man than Seamus. Compare and contrast to President Reagan's, "A rising tide lifts all boats." Or to Newt Gingrich's idea that work builds self esteem and when you have earned money in your pocket you become a more productive and happier citizen.

This joker's going to be a gaffe a minute, because basically he is the joke.

What I don’t understand is, how can so many people not see it? How can they cast a vote for such a piece of garbage?

I'm not so sure people don't see it. Abe Lincoln said a mouthful when he said, "You can fool some of the people....."

During the last debate, Speaker Gingrich was drawing a comparison between his wealth and Romney's. He used his right hand closed and low to indicate his wealth and left arm held high to indicate Romney's. A mouse vs an elephant, I believe, is what he said.

Romney's reaction at the mention of his vast wealth - was to puff up his chest, smile broadly and nod his head in the affirmative. He even pivoted his body toward Speaker Gingrich.

Beside flat out bad manners - I'm sure people who are unemployed/under-employed or are in foreclosure - noted it, if not only subconsciously. It's one thing to be successful but quite another to gloat in the face of an America in dire financial straits.

That one gesture was the beginning of Romney's unmasking, and he's only going downhill from there.

Gov. Palin is very media savvy. Jeannie or whoever she is could have told her something like, “30 seconds and we're up against a hard break. I'll give you the last word.”

As it was she came off rude and snarky toward Gov. Palin.

Amen.

It is a special table/bed conceived in Warren Jeff's mind for the consummation of ‘celestial’ or spirit marriages. It was specifically tailored to fit his height and also equipped with side rails for restraining his victims, of which at least two were children 12- 14 years old.

According to the evidence the white steps are provided for the kneeling of other spirit wives to observe the consummation, and record it.

I believe, at this time, it is on the third floor of the temple inside the fLDS compound outside of Eldorado, TX which is approximately 30 miles north of Sonora, TX.

Like this one? Hat tip to texasflds

Not a Godzilla face palm! Possibly a bright shiny new skippy scooter?

All kidding aside and returning to discussing the article at hand, why ask for decriminalization and not legalization? Ask that question and the loss of welfare monies becomes apparent.

Asking to ‘just be left alone’ while pimping your family - especially your minor children - on a reality show is stunningly stupid if you ask me.

But there's no proof that there getting it. At least no one has been able to provide any.

Here is proof that they are getting Government subsidies as well as falsifying information. Note that the primary income listed on the bankruptcy filing of Christine Allred (Brown) is public assistance.

Kody and Meri Brown, the only legally married pair have one biological child. Again, falsified information.

Bravo. Well said.

I agree - a beautiful carol but one with a very sad tone. I was stunned the first time I heard stanza 4 and 5.

Then from each black, accursed mouth,
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound the carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearthstones of a continent,
And made forlorn, the households born
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Longfellow wrote it in 1864 during the Civil War.

If it’s not too personal - what division, brigade, regiment and company did your ancestor serve in? The Irish Brigade were fearfully awesome fighters.

You have a right to be proud.

Amen to that.

I really wish Perry would be a little more confrontational on this border stuff.

As is, he can control, one way or another, all Texas state law enforcement on the border. He could set and example and show what the Feds would act like the day after his inauguration.
