[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" comment="44"]Sure KFC, but how many of us who go to church see an immoral downfall coming? If we have a pastor who has a moral failure, does that automatically disqulify us? I have been a part of churches that I did not fully embrace. Even Piper says no church is perfect. But it may not be for a while that something this extreme happens.If a church is preaching heresy you shouldn't need 20 years to figure this out. Usually a few months will suffice. Then you

[quote who="little-whip" comment="41"]BTW Sabrina, how are you? You had surgery recently, right?Yes, cg, thanks for asking. I'm healing, (albeit slowly) and have a way to go with physical therapy, having lost a good deal of flexibility in my right wrist. Other than that, I'm just hanging in there, waiting for the next thing to go wrong, haha.Good news yesterday, (for once!) It doesn't look like I have macular degeneration, but we won't know for sure until I have a second test in 6 months so t
[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" comment="39"]Let's think about this for a sec. What IF this were true? What if Obama IS ignorant about this whole deal?good point AD. So what you're saying is "why in the world would we want to vote for someone like Obama who doesn't know what's going on even in his own church (forget about a whole country) after being a part of this church for 20 years?" It sounds like a lose-lose situation here. Either he really does know and is lying about it to disengage
Lots of good stuff being said while I was gone, taboo really hit the nail on the head several times. I stated in a previous response that "I don't believe for one moment that all blacks hate all whites", my title is a question. What I saw at Trinity United was as awful as a skinhead rally or a Nazi rally the way the audience behaved. Little whips point of how can we believe that Obama who seems to surround himself with race haters and claims ignorance of the whole deal is a little hard
[quote who="little-whip" comment="5"]. I cannot help but wonder, is this how the black race really sees us? Yes.Come live down here in da 'hood for a while, baby, you've been too long gone if you even have to ask that question.[/quote] I lived the better part of my youth with blacks and Puerto Ricans and yes we had our problem, but such unbridled hatred I never really experienced, except from the Roman Catholics when they found out I was Jewish.
[quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" comment="4"]well I can't speak for all blacks but I've only met really one close friend since I've moved here to Florida and she's black. Her family comes from Trinidad and we hit it off almost immediately. Now I'm talking to her about maybe visiting the place of her birth someday.From a Christian POV (and we're both strong Christains) we don't see race. Or if we do, we'd see only one...the human race. I really would have to question t
[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="3"]This is one of those 2 wrongs don't make a right situation where Black people feel 2 wrongs do make a right because they believe they have the right to do so. They claim people like Wright and now Pfleger tell it like it is. OK, I will do the same. They need to let go, they need to stop bringing racism back to life. Don't they know how to be the better man? Call me racist for all I care, I am part African, something I was unaware of before. So I would like t
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="1"]We can learn from the past, or dwell in it. The latter never accomplishes anything. [/quote] I agree, but the outpouring of hate I saw makes me believe the blacks will never forgive what happened to them hundreds of years ago. None of them alive today, neither the slaves nor the owners of the slaves.
After watching several "sermons" delivered at the Holy Trinity Church A couple delivered by Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the most recent by a Catholic priest named Michael Pfleger, all of them with a definite racist slant with an outpouring of hatred for the white race. I could not help but notice the amount of enthusiasm the predominate black audience showed, leaping about, screaming amen as more hatred was spewed on the white race. I cannot help but wonder, is this how the black rac
[quote who="The_Politico" comment="10"]All I have see is Yes we can: lose the war,So your being too stupid to accurately comprehend reality makes Obama culpable for your intellectual shortcomings?Bush has many, many bad traits. but selling out his friends and partners is not of them.Yeah Bush routinely disproves the notion of no honor among criminals.

[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="8"]Cacto, while there is a kernel of truth in your response, it goes beyond that. You list "rules" as if they were absolute, when in truth they are isolated incidents that have no bearing on the over all policy. You cannot name any of your rules applied to Indonesia, or even attached to Myanmar.No, the "rule" you do not mention, and the one that is overarching, is envy. While the old saying of "beggars cant be choosy" is true, it is also true that the beggar does
[quote who="cactoblasta" comment="7"]I think the problem is that America isn't consistently nice and doesn't really care what the real effect of their aid is.US aid policy is fairly blatantly focused on a couple of agendas - foreign policy (most government aid), disaster relief (gov and private), medical aid (mostly private) and religious (mostly private) and various less significant relief goals.Where aid is provided for foreign policy reasons it's likely to be targeted to support US interes

[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="3"]Heya MM, where ya been?Canada it seems.MM, I understand the frustration. But it will never happen. We give because that is who we are. Thanks is nice, but never necessary. And in this case, will never happen.They hate us because we can and do give. Others can and do not. Others cannot and dont. They are not hated because that is expected. But giving without quid pro quo is anathema to the rest of the world, and one of the major reasons we will never be liked. W
[quote who="OckhamsRazor" comment="2"]Heya MM, where ya been? Regarding your article, I hear ya. It seems to be human nature to tear down the tallest tree in the forest. All the other trees want the light! But they don't understand that when you tear down the tallest tree, the next tallest tree just takes its place. Once upon a time, I think all the "helping" was done for mostly the right reasons. these days? Well, I don't really trust our government an

Even thought I think Hussein is a lemon-head and will lose the general election, just the fact of Hillary not even getting a chance to run has brought much joy to this old man. She is one of the biggest liars in politics and that says a lot, since Congress is the single largest collection of liars on the planet. I do hope she continues to run though and although her supporters have sworn to vote McCain if Hussein gets the nod I don't believe them either, as Democrats seems to forget all promi
The part of Mccarthy's crusade that pissed me off was his unrelenting terrorizing of writers, actors and such.. I did not know about JFK and RFK involvement and stand corrected, funny how that seems to never get mentioned when the Democrats are trashing McCarthy.

I feel we are the most generous, giving nation on the planet, yet the most hated at the same time. I am old enough to remember when just being an American was a status symbol, now it is reached the point of something to be ashamed of. When did this happen? How did this happen? We are always the first nation to respond with help when another nation has some kind of disaster, we give free medications, free health care to those that have none, feed and house those to lazy to work for the
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="1"]Bush has many, many bad traits. but selling out his friends and partners is nit of them.That is one of the main reasons the left disparages him so. And yet, we see why with Obama. Friends to them are mere stepping stones in getting ahead.No wonder so many are warped bitter little people. [/quote] It's a way of life among the politicians of the Left. not the people, the politicians!
[quote who="little-whip" comment="2"]I think you've got it backwards, dear. It was Rev Wright who did the selling out, and with friends like that, who needs enemas? [/quote] Hvae you read Husseins latest about wright?
It is short,. to the point. but truly means nothing.

[quote who="little-whip" comment="4"]um...can we talk about Wright again?I wouldnt be surprised to find out Wright (or someone very high up in that church) is owned by the Clintons and has been paid (multi-million dollar mansion in an all white golf course and 10 million dollar line of credit, compliments of 'the church') to set poor Obama up for destruction.The Clintons will never attack Obama directly, but there's something very rotten in Denmark when it comes to Reverend Wright, his total
