Al Gore's Hot Air Increases Global Warming Yet More

Are the uncivil racists of the Left ever going to stop yelling “racist” to everyone that opposes their failed socio-economic policies? Now the crazy Leftist thug Algore is likening people that question his unproven view of anthropomorphic caused global warming, I mean climate change, to racism. Really?

He’s comparing the Leftist movement to curb the American lifestyle to how they want us to live to the Civil Rights movement, so opposing him and his other environmental wacko’s is like being racist. He urges his followers to “win the conversation”. It’s hard to follow Algore’s ramblings, but he’s apparently talking about how the civil rights conversation was won by people saying, “There came a time when people said, 'Hey man, why do you talk that way? That's wrong, I don't go for that, so don't talk that way around me. I just don't believe that.'”  "That happened in millions of conversations, and slowly the conversation was won.” “And we still have racism, God knows, but it's so different now and so much better. And we have to win the conversation on climate.”

Of course he wants us to eat less meat in the cause of global warming, I mean climate change, and eat our peas (hat tip to Obama). He wants more organic farming. No doubt he has an expensive government program to facilitate that. Like Obama he’s against the use of coal, and we shouldn’t be using so much oil.

I wonder which of his mansions he flies to in his massive oil burning private jet after muttering such inanities. 

Anti-education Union Thugs Protest Successful School in Wisconsin

Ideology over results. The unions were draining the Wisconsin government dry. Massive debt and a failed education system. Governor Scott Walker is turning this around. This is a "choice" school with 85% of it's students going on to college. Not so in the failed public schools. The students here are being taught civility as well as getting the education they're supposed to. The Leftist protesters here need to attend to learn what civility is. Brother Bob is speaking Truth here. I don't think there's any violent terrorist uncivil conservatives seen here.

These are the same anti education union thugs that protested at a Special Olympics event, scaring little kids and intimidating parents.

AARON LEWIS - "Country Boy"

Aaron Lewis is lead singer for Staind.

http://youtu.be/vsQzw_Ax8Cw


Well I grew up down an old dirt road
In a town you wouldn't know
My pop's picked a place up for fifteen hundred bucks
Back in 1964
My grandfather was a drinker
Back in the day we put him down
But war is known to change a man
And whiskey's known to change a man

That's not me
I really drink from the bottle but I smoke a little weed
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go
In a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road
And a country boy is all I'll ever be

Its been twelve years since I sold my soul
To the devil in L.A.
He said sign your name here on the dotted line
And your songs they all will play
He set up shop on sunset
He put me up on marque
He said you want to sell a million records boy
You better listen to me
He said change your style
While in your smile you can lose a couple pounds
And if you want to live this life
You better lose that wife
Don't even need your friends around

And I said that's not me
The biggest things in life is your friends and family
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirt
A couple extra pounds never really hurt
Because a country boy is all I'll ever be
And Hank taught me how to stay alive
You'll never catch me out the house without my .9 or .45
I got a big orange tracker and a diesel truckMy idea of heaven is chasing wild tail bucks
And as a country boy I know I can survive

Now two flags fly above my land
That really sum up how I feel
One's the colors that fly high and proud
The red, the white, the blue
The other one's got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made
"Don't tread on me" is what is says and I'll take that to my grave

Because this is me
Proud to be American and strong in my beliefs
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
Because I never need a government to hold my hand
And I've said it before but I'll say it again
Because my family's always fought and died to save this land
And a country boy is all I'll ever be

What the Heck Is "Christian Dominionism" and How the Left Is Using It As A Political Bludgeon

Michelle Goldberg

Since Leftists and their Democrat Party have no arguments that defend their abysmal socio-economic record, they have to attack Conservatives and Republicans on their youthful indiscretions or their Christian beliefs. They even go so far as to attack family members (Bachman’s husband is a closet gay, Palin’s Down’s Syndrome son Trig was the result of incest between her husband and daughter). I read and study a lot of religion, and I’ve never heard of “Dominionism” and “Dominionists” and “Christian Reconstructionists”. If I haven't heard of it, rest assured regular day to day ordinary non-scholarly Christians have no idea of them. There are the Christian “Deconstructionists” that take form thorough the “Sojourners” and Marxist Jim Wallis. Will blog on that later.

Apparently Dominionists are a Christian fringe group advocating for Christian world dominion. Even though most Christians haven’t even heard of this group or idea, what the Left is doing is trying to connect individuals, specifically Bachman and Perry, to this group, and then connect that to Christians in general to it, and that to Islamofacists. A little odd, since many Leftists advocate for Sharia Law being incorporated into Western Civilization’s socio-economic values and structure, and refuse to call Islamofascist terrorists, terrorists. The Bishop of Canterbury has even said Sharia Law should be incorporated into Christianity.

"Put simply, Dominionism means that Christians have a God-given right to rule all earthly institutions. Originating among some of America’s most radical theocrats, it’s long had an influence on religious-right education and political organizing. But because it seems so outrĂ©, getting ordinary people to take it seriously can be difficult. Most writers, myself included, who explore it have been called paranoid.” I wouldn’t call her paranoid, just a Christophobe. 
"Again, mainstream U.S. America doesn’t understand that people like Michele Bachmann have signed onto Bronze Age mythology, including its misogyny, its homophobia, its racism, and all the rest of it, and that that is the religion they are part of…, a bigot, and intolerant." Just like Islamofascists. 
I remember reading an article by another bigoted Christophobe commentator saying the Reagan years were a horrible time because we lived in an oppressive Christian Theocracy. Really? Goldberg goes on to say: “Think of it like political Islamism, which shapes the activism of a number of antagonistic fundamentalist movements, from Sunni Wahabis in the Arab world to Shiite fundamentalists in Iran.” So there’s the link to terrorists and murderers in the name of religion, and that is what Christianity is really about too.

Goldberg and other intolerant bigots say Dominionists want the Constitution jettisoned and Old Testament laws to govern a Theocratic State. That would mean homosexuals, adulterers and the rest would be executed for their transgressions. Then they connect Bachman and Perry to this, and infer that all Christians advocate this. Of course when called on this idiocy they obfuscate and say that’s not what they meant. One of the reasons it’s hard to debate and discuss issues with Leftists is they say and do stuff, then say they didn’t say and do that stuff.

Goldberg on Perry: “Perry tends to be regarded as marginally more reasonable than Bachmann, but he is as closely associated with Dominionism as she is, though his links are to a different strain of the ideology.”

The reason she’s able to connect Perry and Bachman with Dominionism is they know somebody that knows somebody that may have expressed some ideas that Goldberg views as “Christian Nationalism”. Guilt by association, and all Christians are closet "Christian Nationalists". 

There’s another character pushing this Christophobia, Frank Schaeffer, apparently an evangelical at one time. He’s with Goldberg that Bachman and Perry are “Dominionists” and their goal is to infiltrate the government an turn America into a theocracy, and from there to world domination. He claims Bachman “would replace American democracy with a theocracy on a Christian level that would mirror something like modern-day Iran after it fell to the Ayatollah Khomeini.” Even more a grievous lie is, “Again, mainstream U.S. America doesn’t understand that people like Michele Bachmann have signed onto Bronze Age mythology, including its misogyny, its homophobia, its racism, and all the rest of it, and that that is the religion they are part of…”

Of course the Jurassic Press picks up on this unquestioningly, and offers it up in watered down forms. Like the whole “submission” kerfuffle, they know nothing of Christianity, its theology or history, yet will propagate this as truth because their arguments for their Religion of the State carry no weight. 

The Hypocritical Tax Cheat Leftist Uber Wealthy

Even Trump has jumped on this bandwagon; the wealthy should pay more in taxes. The obvious question many had when Warren Buffett wrote his piece and went on the talking heads shows was if he truly believes that, why don't he and his wealthy buddies just pony up. Why wait for the congress critters to pass more tax legislation? Mostly because they could get their tax lawyers to find ways of not paying. Lip service. They don't really mean it.

A non-partisan think tank, the Tax Foundation (attacked by ex Enron adviser and socialist Paul Krugman, which to my mind lends them credibility) ran some numbers, and found that doing what the Leftist wealthy like Buffett say, would have little effect on our economic situation.

Buffett, a hugely successful Capitalist that bashes capitalism wrote:
“But for those making more than $1 million there were 236,883 such households in 2009 I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more there were 8,274 in 2009 I would suggest an additional increase in rate.” “My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress.”
I think they’ve been coddling themselves. If they truly believed this, they would not utilize the tax loopholes, written for them by their bought and paid for congress critters, and they would pony up on their own.

The study by the Tax Foundation found taxing millionaires and billionaires at 50% would reduce the deficit by 8 percent and the national debt by 1 percent. There have been times when the tax rate for these guys went as high as 90%, and we still had high debt and deficit. Taxing at 50% would only raise about $120 billion. Not much when looking at $trillions of debt generated in the past three years. Where that money go anyway? Are we any better off?

The study found that taxing the wealthy at 100% would only net $186 billion, reducing the deficit by 12 percent and the debt by 2 percent. A 14% total reduction, and we’d still be $trillions in debt. A 100% confiscation of the income of all making $200,000 and above for the year would net about $1.53 trillion; then what? They have no money to invest or run their businesses, and we’re still a couple $trillion in debt.

People like Buffett, Soros, Gates and the rest that advocate for this, fall into the Leftist hypocrite hall of shame with European entertainers that come to America and make $millions and bash our country and its socio-economic system from which they so hugely benefit.

To those entertainers we’ve said ‘shut up and sing’. To the lying Capitalist hypocrites advocating they be taxed more, we say, ‘shut up and pay’.

On Submission

Apostle Paul Writing Epistles

Byron York: “In 2006, when you were running for Congress, you described a moment in your life when your husband said you should study for a degree in tax law. You said you hated the idea. And then you explained, “But the Lord said, ‘Be submissive. Wives, you are to be submissive to your husbands.’ ”

“As president, would you be submissive to your husband?”

Bachman: “Marcus and I will be married for 33 years this September 10th. I’m in love with him. I’m so proud of him. And both he and I — what submission means to us, if that’s what your question is, it means respect.
“I respect my husband. He’s a wonderful, godly man, and a great father. And he respects me as his wife.”

“Submission” is seriously misunderstood and misapplied word; one of those words that has transformed away from its original meaning. It’s important to know the source of ideas and words, especially in the case of Bryon York’s question.

Most think of submission as being exploited or dominated or manipulated, that it’s not voluntary. The word derives from the Greek hupotasso “to submit”, and regards military structure. The idea in scripture, which York and most others seem not to understand, has an entirely different meaning from their modern belief system.
Matthew 8:5-10 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”  And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”  The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
We live in a hierarchical universe, like it or not. The centurion speaks of being under authority, and he willingly submits to that authority. He gives orders based on that authority. His subordinates willingly obey that authority. When this happens everyone benefits. The mission gets accomplished. The goal is reached. There’s purpose to the group.

Would York have a job writing for the various organizations he does if he didn’t submit to the rules, the authority, of those organizations? I don’t know if York has children, but if he, or anyone does, I would hope he expects submission of them to him. If he’s married I would hope his wife listens to his suggestions and ideas and vice versa. Oversimplified, but to the point, everyone has a boss. You don’t have to submit, you can’t be forced. If one is forced, that not submission, that’s oppression or slavery.

The question York asked comes from the misunderstood and misapplied passage in Corinthians 11:2-16  
“Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.
Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her[a] for a covering. But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.”
The word “head” in various forms is used nine times in Scripture, mostly having to do with the physical head. There’s a lot more to this, but the veil for women Paul wanted used in church was egalitarian in nature. “To get married” and “to veil” were the same word. If a woman was veiled she could also be a widow. Women in the upper classes had their hair styled, which the lower classes and slaves couldn’t afford. Paul saying that all women should be veiled in church was for the purpose of eliminating class distinction.

Paul talking here of a man not being independent of a woman or a woman independent of a man is really radical, because in those times there was no equality between the sexes. The veil is a “symbol of authority on her head”. Equality in a public place, never before even contemplated. Paul wants this egalitarianism in marriage too, going back to Genesis that married couples become one flesh. Some have even suggested that having sex makes the couple one flesh; which is why ‘friend with benefits’ can’t work.

Paul also creates another radical idea; about divorce. The word at the time meant “to throw out”. It was a one way ticket; the man could just toss his wife out on the street with no means of support and have no rights to any of his property; there was no concept of shared property.  Paul says even this, divorce, should be made equal; again a radical idea since there was no such thing in the relationships between men and women, even in marriage. Paul said divorce can be not only equally applied, but can be based on spirituality:
“Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?” Corinthians 7:10-16
Paul in his letters, advocated more equality between men and women, both in public and in marriage, not less. In polytheistic pagan times women were for sex and breeding, to be tossed out, discarded, at the whim of the man.

Before people like York and others venture into the realm of using religion, and especially Christianity, to insult and demean, perhaps they should know a little bit about what they’re talking about.  

Leslie Bennetts, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair magazine and author of the book The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much?
"A woman who pursues an entire career she hates the idea of, just because her husband told her to, is not a woman who should be occupying the Oval Office--or anything remotely near it."
"Given the insistence of Christian theology on male supremacy, female candidates who put that religion front and center in their campaigns should be required to explain what that means in terms of how they would govern, if elected."

Bennetts obviously knows nothing of Christian Theology or History. If she did, she wouldn’t make such an ignorant statement. Anti Christian bigotry is to be expected of people like York and Bennetts, though I’m always amazed at the misogyny of Leftist women.  

When Sarah Palin said she read C S Lewis, that he was one of her favorite writers, some commentators went off on how she read children’s books, implying that was the limit of her intellectual growth. York, Chris Wallace, and others that say the submission question was valid, wallow in similar ignorance.

Noam Chomsky is Considered a Leading Intellectual by the Left Why?

This is what passes for a superior intellect by the Left. This guy has become wealthy spouting such stupidity in books, magazines and as a talking head for years. Plus he's a professor that is allowed to teach such stupid garbage to students...and they believe him.
Here he explains Christians are anti Semites and are advocates of the genocide of Jews because of the Apocalypse. Idiot.

Government As Its Own Special Interest Group, Paid for by Taxpayers

If about a third of Americans work for government, and about 47% suckle at the teat of govenment, don't contribute so are beholden to the Dems, how much voting power do the rest of us have. You know, the ones that pay taxes, go to work every day and contribute to the well being of America socially, politically and economically. We get this frightening scenario.

Vile Senator Dick Durbin: Cowardly Crybaby

The Dems are so used to going unchallenged by the Press, that when one asks a question that is not supportive and lovingly asked, well...

http://youtu.be/7rr2cVIw6Bc

But Republicans have to put up with Leftist Mainstream reporters (but I repeat myself) that are no more than hecklers. Good grief, look at what Palin and Bachman have to put up with, and you won't see any Dem have to put up with what Romney did a couple days ago. That alleged reporter, Jim Anderson, if he were a reporter what's he doing sticking up for Durbin and threatening this real reporter, Bill Kelly. Kelly is a credentialed press writer by the way.

Plus, here are some charming statements by Demented Durbin, after chastising conservatives for being uncivil and violent. He accused the US Military treating of Gitmo detainees to Nazis, Soviet gulags, and Pol Pot. He blamed the Tuscon shooting on Sarah Palin and the TEA Party, when it turned out the shooter had no political ideology. Of course the downgrade is the TEA Party's fault, even though they've only been around for a couple years, and the Dems didn't pass a budget as required by law for those years.

This is the first time Republicans didn't cave in on everything like they usually do. That's what Dems mean when they talk about compromise; doing their way. Obamacare is a perfect example; rammed down the throat of the American people on a holiday in the dead of night with no Republican votes. Not even RINO's voted for it. Even the vacuumhead Dems can see the writing on the wall. Even Americans that don't pay much attention to the machinations of DC don't want to see $trillions of debt and high unemployment and know the Dems and Obama are the reason even though they blame everyone else and the Jurassic Press does everything it can to cover it up.

Tim Pawlenty Political Ad - Need More Like This

This is the kind of ad the spineless wimpy Republican Party should be running. Unlike the Dems, no one is called a terrorist, a suicide bomber and all the rest of that Leftist vile hate trash talk, but drives the message of failure that is 100% on the doorstep of Obama and the Dems. Reminder, Republicans have only held the House for about six months. Dems ran House, Senate and Executive for a couple years before that. Dems want citizens to believe a movement of citizens wanting reduced government spending, that have been around only a couple of years, and Republicans in the House for about six months are responsible for $14.5 TRILLION! in debt, and the downgrade?  More ads in this style needs to saturate the media against Dems and Obama.

Mainstream Media Shows Once Again It Hates Women

Conservative and Republican public figures should know by now the Jurassic Press will say and do anything to make them look bad, even physically. They should demand that with every interview pic they choose which one. If not then you get what Newsweek has done with Bachman. After being called sexist, bigot, homophobes, Islamphobe, racist, terrorists, hostage takers by them, is this pic and title any surprise. The Jurassic Press is blatant about this and yet still claims they are unbiased.

Especially if you're a woman conservative or Republican, given the unbridled misogyny of the Left. They've done the same with Palin, Michelle Malkin, and Coulter, all attractive women.

Gov Rick Perry's Speech at "The Response" Prayer Gathering and Intolerant Anti Christian Bigoted Leftist Response

The intolerant anti Christian bigots of the Left are in full attack mode about Perry being a practicing Christian. This is true of Leftist Christians and Jews as I wrote in my previous post. That people of like mind gather to pray for God's guidance in a time of national anguish is controversial to them. That Obama was a 20 year follower, was mentored by America hating, racist and communist Jeremiah Wright is given a pass by the bigots on the Left, officially represented by the Democrat Party and the Mainstream Media.



The bigoted intolerant Left that doesn't believe in freedom of religion is already using guilt by association by bringing up some Christian groups and people that have views not in the mainstream of Christian worship and theology. Many of these people are wrong, but the Left will focus on them, and use it to portray all Christians as believing such things. The hate filled lying has begun.

Here's a sample listing provided by the anti American communist magazine "Mother Jones", and another hit piece by MSNBC Leftist propagandist Lawrence O'Donnell which is a foretaste of the broadcast media's talking points. All hatred and lies, intolerance and bigotry.

Christians and Jews As Pro-State, Anti-Christian Bigots

Rick Perry, Texas Governor, possible Republican candidate for president, had announced last December that he wanted to have a prayer meeting, a day of fasting and prayer for national guidance in our country’s time of economic and cultural challenges. At one time this would have been thought a good thing by most. The confluence of aggressive intolerant anti Christian bigotry and lazy Christians that don’t truly practice and defend the Faith, has created a situation in which any Christian professes their Faith publicly gets attacked.

As I watched this scenario unfold this past week, I saw both Christians and Jews attack Perry for leading and participating in this event. The claim is that it’s a violation of separation of church and state. A stupid assertion since it’s not a government sponsored event, it's held on private property, no government money is being spent, and it’s all voluntary. Two of the major intolerant bigoted factions that are attacking this meeting are Leftist Christians and Leftist Jews. My contention that Leftists cannot be true to their religious faith because the State demands obedience to it first and God second, if at all.

I support the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in all it does to beat back anti-Semitism, though it seems to give in a pass in America by supporting Leftists and the Democrat Party which has proven itself to be anti-Semitic. A majority of Jews in this country vote Left, even in the face of that anti-Semitism, and here they are attacking Christians in general and Rick Perry in particular, for wanting to get together and pray and fast for the well being of our country.

This is part of the invitation to the event:
“Right now, America is in crisis: we have been besieged by financial debt, terrorism, and a multitude of natural disasters. As a nation, we must come together and call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles, and thank Him for the blessings of freedom we so richly enjoy.
 Some problems are beyond our power to solve, and according to the Book of Joel, Chapter 2, this historic hour demands a historic response. Therefore, on August 6, thousands will gather to pray for a historic breakthrough for our country and a renewed sense of moral purpose.
I sincerely hope you’ll join me in Houston on August 6th and take your place in Reliant Stadium with praying people asking God’s forgiveness, wisdom and provision for our state and nation. There is hope for America. It lies in heaven, and we will find it on our knees.”

The ADL has published a letter repudiating Perry for attending the event. The letter ends with this comment:
“Our concern is in no way based on hostility toward religion.  Rather, it is based on a deep belief in religious freedom.  It is one of America’s greatest strengths.  The best way to safeguard religious liberty for all Americans is for our government to keep its distance.  We therefore urge you to reconsider your participation in and involvement with The Response event.  We would appreciate hearing from you regarding this serious issue.”
This is being hostile toward religion, and specifically hostile to Christians. Basing this bigotry by redefining what the founding fathers meant by religious freedom is a Leftist tactic to secularize our government and marginalize religious people; the State before God. The founding fathers did not think so.

George Washington: “While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.

Thomas Jefferson: “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever; that a revolution of the wheel of fortune, a change of situation, is among possible events; that it may become probable by Supernatural influence! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in that event.”

There’s a huge segment of Christians that buy into this notion that religion, God, should take a back seat to the State. Fifty local, Houston, Christian groups have signed on to the intolerant bigoted letter from the ADL. The Houston Clergy Council followed that up with a letter of their own, stating:
’’Governor Perry has a constitutional duty to treat all Texans equally, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity.”  “His official involvement with The Response, at minimum, violates the spirit of that duty.”

Martin B. Cominsky, ADL: “We strongly believe this statement, signed by so many of our most respected religious and community leaders, reflects the feelings of many Texans who are concerned that Governor Perry is overstepping his bounds in supporting an exclusionary sectarian religious event.”

A Christian, Perry, wants to get together with other Christians, to do a good thing based on their Faith, and we’re supposed to see that as a bad thing.

I see it as a bad thing that some Christians put the State before God, and attack a Christian that has a political job, that puts his Faith before the State. Once again, this event is being held on private property and no government money is being spent, and he’s attending as a man of Faith who happens to be a political official, not as a political official endorsing a Faith.

I think Perry is showing strength in his Faith that he’s still attending, getting together with fellow Christians to pray for our country. The people that put the State before God should not lie about what the Constitution and the founding fathers say about religion, siding with atheists and secularists.  Any person of any religion should rejoice and support this event, not attack and demean.

Gingrich on the Economy and the President

Don't know if he'd be a effective president, but I've always admired his analysis, and he has always provided in books and papers solutions to the problems he talks about.

Chronicled here in previous post the vile name calling from the Left, Democrat politicians (allegedly representatives of the people) calling fellow citizens terrorists and hostage takers among other things.
