The identity of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has mystified and intrigued people for centuries. Each symbolizes something, but what do they symbolize? When you see the connection between Revelation, the gospels, and historical facts, then you, too, will begin to understand John's incredibly powerful letter. Let's begin. I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he...

Several months ago someone sent me a copy of a book: 2008 God’s Final Witness, by Ronald Weinland. It was suggested to me that perhaps I should challenge Mr. Weinland to debate me. As I scanned the book, I decided that the best response overall was to allow time to respond to Mr. Weinland, and my thinking has been vindicated. You see, Mr. Weinland claims that, “When this book is published at the end of summer of 2006, there will be a maximum of two years remaining before the world will be plunged into the worst time in human history”...

The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any...

Yes, I'm afraid after all the hope poured out onto these pages, John McCain will lose. There are at least two very important reasons for this (and they have nothing to do with media bias). The first is - simply put - that McCain ran a lousy campaign. There was no focus on any one particular message that resounded with voters until Joe The Plumber came along (too little too late?) despite the fact that Obama's own voting record in the Senate said at least as much about his plans to "tax and spend" this country into bankruptcy faster than...

This story appears in Tuesday's issue of The Lufkin Daily News, 10/6/08. This is totally absurd regardless of what party you choose to support in the Presidential campaign. On Wednesday the 1st of October I received a call on my cell while in the car with my husband. It was a woman who identified herself as calling from the Obama Campaign. The phone # she called from was 903-798-6020 which lists as "Obama Volunteers of Texarkana " (Texas). She asked if I was an Obama supporter to which I replied: "No, I don't support him, your guy is a socialist...

Does Barack Obama have Kenyan citizenship? No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 21st birthday.

[quote]EXCLUSIVE: At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn't be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.[/quote]

Representative [Bernie] Sanders delivered the following remarks at the National Conference on Media Reform held in Madison, WI. "I had run for office in Vermont as a third party candidate and received 1 or 2 percent of the vote. And then, having been a little bit involved in media production, I decided to produce a video biography on the life of Eugene V. Debs, one of my heroes -- the great labor and socialist leader of the early part of the 20th century." Here's a sampling of some of the writings of Sanders' self-professed "hero", Eugene V. Debs: "Let me...

Forgive the vanity, but I just wanted all my FRiends here to know that in April of this year, I was nominated for 5 Emmy Awards from the Michigan Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Tonight (May 19) is "Emmy Night!" I am nominated individually in two editing categories, and named in three other categories for my editing on major television news projects and series here in the Detroit area. Last year I won my first Emmy in more than 17 years in the business. Here's hoping tonight I'll grab a "bookend" or two. :)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! "All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. "We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for ...

President Reagan's 1992 Republican Convention Speech President Reagan delivered this speech at the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston. Thank you, Paul for that kind introduction. And Mr. Chairman, delegates, friends, fellow Americans, thank you so very much for that welcome. You've given Nancy and me so many wonderful memories, so much of your warmth and affection, we cannot thank you enough for the honor of your friendship. Over the years, I've addressed this convention as a private citizen, as a governor, as a presidential candidate, as a president and now, once again tonight, as private citizen Ronald Reagan. ...

Thread two of a FREEPER CALL TO ACTION!!! This thread offers an updated e-mail address for contacting Castro, as well as contact addresses and numbers for Cuban Embassies around the world. (And yes, I checked the updated e-mail addy, and it seems to work.) Here's your chance to make your voice heard with Castro himself, the one many of you here call "Elian's real dad." So step up to the plate, write Castro or one of Cuba's ambassadors a note, and try to convince him why he should let Elian stay in the U.S. Expend your tireless energy debating this ...

Since many of you insist on telling us "parental rights" folks that Castro is Elian's real dad (given that Juan has no parental rights in Cuba,) I figured that the best person for you to contact would be the one and only person who could let "his child" stay in the U.S. (if it will make you all feel better.) Write Fidel Castro at: f_castro@cuba.gov.cu and let him know how you feel about him, "his kid," and anything else you want to get off your chest. But please, stop with the really inane "Elian whines" that pass as threads ...

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came ...

As presidential candidates battle over whether religion belongs in the classroom, one 7-year-old upstate boy has entered the fray with crayons and a lawsuit. Little Antonio Peck of Syracuse drew a poster of Jesus for a classroom assignment, but his teacher told him it wouldn't be displayed because of its religious content. Now his mom, Jo Anne Peck, is suing the Baldwinsville Central School District and Catherine McNamara Elementary School, accusing them of violating her son's constitutional rights by censoring the poster. Peck said she hopes her lawsuit will prevent another child from going through what her son has. ...

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. Welcome to EZBreeZee Mortgages. I'm Alan Greenspan. No, no relation, sorry to say. May I call you Bill and Hillary? "Fine, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bill it is. "So you want to buy the old Rye Brook place, 4-something acres, as I recall. That's $2.2 million, and, with the customary 20 percent down - that's $440,000 - that leaves a mortgage of $1,760,000. No problem. We do these kinds of deals all the time. "Now let's just have a look at your financial statements. "Let's see. Mr. Clinton, you are the president ...
