I was recently in a friendly--for the most part--discussion about gay marriage. Now, I really have no valid opinion on the subject, but I will say that I don't think galaxies are going to explode, if gays and lesbians are given the right to say "I do". After all, in the words of the great cou
I was recently in a friendly--for the most part--discussion about gay marriage. Now, I really have no valid opinion on the subject, but I will say that I don't think galaxies are going to explode if gays and lesbians are given the right to say "I do". After all, in the words of the great Dolly Parton, "They should have to suffer, right along with the rest of us." <span style="font-size:
[quote]Wow, you sound like you were holding all this in till now and then just released it all in one single huge post.[/quote] LOL; Actually, it's about three or four different posts of mine, from another blog, combined with portions of a LTE I wrote, all of which I edited together, threw in some new information and whipped it into the vast, barely-coherent monstrosity above. The average people who support OWS are just as poorly-informed and class
Yeah; conservatives have respect; liberals don't. How's it going, Doc? Been away for a while.
The “Occupy” movement has been taking its predictable course of late, as protestors in the “Occupy Oakland” segment, among others, clash with police and vandalize storefronts; for example, Occupiers threw a chair through the front window of a Whole Foods in Oakland, California. Shooting deaths have been reported at encampments in California and Vermont. In a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY, a mob of “unidentified” young-ish vandals set c
This morning, radio's Jim Quinn noted that OWS has started shilling for "union rights" and "workers rights"; didn't this whole thing start over the hated 3B's, business, banks and bailouts? Suddenly, they're all for unions and the workers, too. Hmm....wonder where that little paradigm shift came from?
And the other shoe drops.... Abercrombie drops effort to disclose birth certificate info Hawaii AG tells guv he can't disclose individual's birth documentation without consent <span
To Basmas... Yes, he said that; but strangely, was not holding the document when he said it, and couldn't specify where it was. You can "say" anything, kind of like Dan Rather did.... It's so funny; what is it with you guys and fake documents? You guys were more than happy to accept Rather's fake Bush National Guard record, too. Why is Abercrombie still going to all the trouble, then?
Hmm...very interesting article. thanks for posting. So, did Ann Dunham take Barack with her, to Seattle, or did she leave him in the care of her parents? i can't seem to lacate any info on that. This guy could have some serious abandonment issues. I read Cashill's book, "Hoodwinked", several years ago. In fact, it's right here by the desk; I count it among my favorite "conservative" tomes, and refer back to it often, when I write. I highly recommend it, if you can fi
If it's not guns, it would be something else...there's a great line from a crappy movie, "Star Trek V"; (paraphrased) "we disallowed them guns, they made their own weapons". That's the problem with liberals and violence, or anything, really; you think that every time you ban or regulate something, that'll be the end to it. Well, it never is, is it? Yet you refuse to see it....there's no perspective, no common sense. You guys only ever seem to see what right in front of you....</p
"Army! Navy! Air Force! Marines! What a wonderful way, to meet the man of your dreams!" I understand that the Army is, indeed, enjoying the benefits of an influx of gay recruits, since the repeal of DADT. Problem is, they all want to be stationed at Ft. Dix and Ft. Leonard Wood.....
And thus, does the Quest continue; Hawaii’s brand-spankin’-new governor, Democrat Neil Abercrombie, pledged to bring a swift and decisive end to the stale, virtually-abandoned Obama birth certificate debate. He dredged it back up for purely political reasons, fearing the issue may somehow affect Obama’s chances in 2012, saying that it could present "political implications that w
[quote]The Soviet-Union didn't persecute religions because it was secular but because it was communist.[/quote]--Leauki Come on, that's intellectually dishonest. The USSR persecuted religions BECAUSE it was Communist, and communism, as practiced, at least, is an atheistic, secular-humanist ideology. Religion interferes with loyalty to the State. [quote]Nazi Germany also used the services of the Church as well as Muslim preachers. I wouldn't call them exactl
[quote]Sacrificing animals is suspended in Judaism whenever the Temple doesn't exist, same between the first and second Temple.[/quote]---Laeuki Okay; see, I never heard that before. I've asked other Jews, and they never gave me a straight answer. Thanks. [quote]Non sequitur. A secular government does not "remove or forbid" G-d.[/quote]---Laeuki The USSR did; Nazi Germany tried. China executes Christians.
[quote]We fast. Like in the old days.[/quote]---Leauki Whatever happened to sacrificing animals? That's what I meant by the snarky PETA crack.
Attend to the following sentence: "Firs, ah'm goin' ta da Strip Distric' t'git sumpin' to eat; then ah'm goan to watch da Stillers play da Brahns on TV. Then ah'm goan dahn-tahn, ta da tiddy bars 'n'at. Enny-a yinz guys wan' go wid me?" (Translation: "First, I'm going to the Strip District (shopping area) to get somthing to eat; then, I'm going to watch the Steelers play the Browns on TV. Then, I'm going downtown, to the titty bars and that. Any of you want to go wit
[quote who="Leauki" reply="33" id="2584306"] Yeah, because Jesus was all about following religious authority. A Birkenstock conservative, if you will. [/quote] Cute; but hardly what I meant, and I think you know that. Although, He did wear sandals. He challenged the religious authority, because the religious elite had become such hypocrites and tyrants, all in the name of His Father. Jesus' ministry was about following God's authority, not
You know, I see it on here all the time, and hear from a friend and co-worker who's a Wiccan (or, as he prefers, simply, "pagan"), how so many of the "major" religions in the world have the same, basic spine to their makeup, and how this is because they all, over the millennia, simply have drawn from one-another, to make up other myths and religions. Much as the Romans drew from the Greeks for their gods and myths. This, according to
[quote]Rightwinger. You said it well. I kept saying AMEN to everything you wrote here. [/quote]--KFC Thanks. [quote]I saw one blatant demon possesed individual in my life and it was real. I had known the guy for quite a while and thought he was a Christian. [/quote]---KFC Well, I'm sure HE was a Christian; just what was inside him wasn't all that happy with what was going on. And if you want to be perfectly strict about it, demons, and even Satan, Old "Mr. Scratc
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="20" id="2568179"] Yea, I went to college with a Pittsburgian. There I learned that "y'all" was "youse guys". WHen we laughed at that, he said ok, use "yurins". We asked him to go back to youse guys. [/quote] No, I have to correct you here, Doc; the more common usage of the term, in Pixburg, is "yinz guys". "Youse" does occur, but "yinz" is more commonplace.
[quote who="Infidel" reply="18" id="2582369"] I've known some who've been to countries who practice witchcraft and voo-doo and say the presence of evil is palpable. If you're making a habit of walking in the spirit you can't help but feel evil when you come across it. If you can't feel evil, as you say, you can surely see the effects of it right? We can see evil all around us. It can be in the form of a look, a gesture, an act. People who do evil things give off evil "vibes." It's not&nb
I once saw in interview with Gene Simmons, a Jew (don't know if he practices, but he is a very intelligent man) who said that Judaism "is all about assimilation; dress British, think Yiddish." And, just out of curiosity, how are devils and hell "post-Jewish"? They're described in the Old Testament.
The Democrats are whining, seemingly put out because angry people are contacting them, saying angry things about their corrupt, unconstitutional, power-grabbing healthcare takeover. Boo-hoo; they arrogantly dismissed the will of nearly 70% of the population, as measured by their own polls. Did they honestly expect there would be no unpleasant blowback from this? Now, disappointed at the subdued, relative unob
Dutch Courage="courage in a glass", or "liquid courage". Here in West Virginia, we've been known to "red up", meaning to tidy up a little bit, but not actually clean. It's a regional saying, though, and oftern attributed to "burghese", or "Pittsburghese", a dialect originating in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...or, if you'd rather, "Pixburg, Pannsavaynia".
"I have to see a man about a dog" also works with "a horse". My dad used to say that. I know most of those phrases....what's a Salt Cellar? I know what a fruit cellar is, my grandparents had one. Another, more local term, is "Tallulah", as in "She's a Tallulah!"; most commonly meaning a brash, overbearing woman.
