I see nothing wrong with Believers, working in and for a government based on free choice, invoking the aid of a deity in day-to-day dealings. What's so wrong with asking Divine guidance for help in our affairs of state? Some of you are so afaid of us becoming theocracy; that's crap and you know it. This nation existed for 186 years before the church-state debate really got going in the early 1960s. In fact, we resisted putting a Catholic in the Oval Office, because Papal influence was so...
A transcript taken from www.rushlimbuagh.com: RUSH: This is one of those stories you find and say: Okay, glad I have a radio show tomorrow. "Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after..." This is an ABC story, by the way. "Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck, a congressman used National Guard troops to check on his property and rescue his personal belongings — even while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from...
LOUIS FARRAKAN: "I heard from a very reliable source that under that levee, there was a 25-foot hole, which suggested that it may have been blown up, so that the water would destroy the black part of town, and where the whites were, it would be dry. I am sure that some good is being done, but not nearly enough to answer the cry." Now, I'd like to know the same thing Rush Limbaugh asked: just how the hell the water would know which neighborhoods to destroy and which to leave dry. Is wate...
According to a news item I heard this morning (and I wish I had a link to support this, but I don't---if anyone can locate one, please post it), the Red Cross reports that workers were ready and in position to deliver water, food, supplies and other amenities to the Superdome, but were disallowed and turned away by representatives of the Louisiana Dept. of Homeland Security (in other words, the LA branch of FEMA), who feared that bringing more supplies might draw more people to the "shelter", ...
Disclaimer: this may not apply to you. If it does, you'll know it...if not...my apologies. A few summers ago, when I was still working at a restaurant back home, a little boy came in, as he had every day that summer, to purchase his usual, a medium chocolate shake, double cheeseburger and large fries. He was a nice little kid from Florida, who, he’d once related to us as he awaited his order being filled, stayed one month at the beginning of every summer with his grandparents there in W...
You want to know why the Left lost the last two elections despite the fact that GWB is considered in many circles to be something of a lightweight? Because Gore and Kerry were just too far left for the common man to relate to, that’s why. Cry foul all you want about voter manipulation and stolen elections, but that’s why it happened. You Lefties want what you fear most to come to pass? You want the Right to dominate this country completely? Keep on doing what you’re doing, that’s all. Every...
I saw a "Hi and Lois" comic some time ago, wherein Hi tells his son Chip that he’s old enough to remember when "Liberal wasn’t a dirty word",and Chip reacted with shock. I hear that all the time, actually….that, since 9/11, "liberal" is now a dirty word, derided by all. It’s about time, I say. "Conservative", when you come right down to it, has been a dirty word for 40 years and more, ever since a commercial aired in which the voice of a cute little girl in a sun dress, counting the petals ...
You know, it’s funny; I posted an article about a week ago, about a "Commie Plot" and how the agenda of the Liberal Left today very closely mirrors that of the Soviet Communist agenda for the destruction of America. Though I’ve had a few hits there, mostly from fellow righties, I’ve had only two individual hits from lefties. One of those was a rather positive reply, but kind of missed the point, I think. The other….well, all they did was try futilely to downgrade it and throw a half-heart...
The following article was excerpted from the book "The Real America; Messages from the Heart and Heartland" by Glenn Beck, published by Pocket Books Publishing. It's taken from pages 117-122. "A few years back I found, buried in the Congressional record, something that a Florida congressman, Albert Herlong, Jr., submitted back in the mid-1960s. It was the "Communist Goals of 1963," a list of steps they needed to take to dismantle our way of life. At a time when Americans are looking toward...
As a reply to an article COLGene posted today, I put this up again...... Among the many complaints I see here on JU and hear from other sources about American efforts to establish solid democratic governing in Iraq are complaints about the infrastructure there. Many opponents of our involvement there often point out that public utilities do not operate efficiently; electricity, for example, is or was limited to just a few hours a day. "Why is this?" they ask; "it always seemed to work wel...
Two fags are holding hands, walking on the beach, when one of them trips and falls. There, sticking out of the sand, is a Genie Lamp. Thinking how divine it would look on the mantle, he begins dusting it off. POOF! A flash of light, a puff of smoke, and out pops the Genie of the Lamp. "Greetings….thank you for freeing me from my prison; for this, I will grant you one wish; but only one, so choose carefully." The two faggots put their heads together and consider their choices. Finall...
Graduation season rolls around once more, and the hunt goes out for significant, influential names to fill the cards as inspirational speakers. According to Bill O’Reilley’s article last week, the liberal Left has been honored time and again, with (accepted) invitations for Hillary to speak the Truths As She Knows Them at Adelphi University, while Chuck Schumer’s hateful venting will doubtlessly motivate and inspire the fiery youth at Buffalo State. Barbara Boxer will spout her rhetoric at...
I work two jobs; 3 evenings a week, I work 5 hours at a Dollar General. On the counter beside the registers are boxes of those "ribbon" magnets..... red, white and blue, star-bedecked "God Bless America", "Pray for our troops", etc. Also in the box, in the interest of fairness perhaps, are ones (mainly) for those who don't support the current trend toward patriotic militarism These are plain, bland, baby-blue magnets which read "Bring our troops home safely". Nothing at all wrong with that ...
In a little over four months, five years will have passed since those dark hours on September 11th, 2001. It's already been nearly half a decade. Time flies. Since then, we've invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, two pillars of the ideal known as Islamic Terrorism. Debate that point all you want, but that's why we're there. Bin-Laden is still at large, of course, sending, to our "allies" at al-Jazeera, his infrequent messages and threats. Al-Jazeera also gleefully plays the threats and messages se...
This article, I suppose, should really be posted in the "Religion" forum, but since it involves an aspect of the "Liberal/Conservative" thing, I thought I'd post it here, in "Politics". I brought this subject up a few weeks ago in my Sunday School class, which is instructed by our church's Worship Leader, Lynne. She is also the Pastor's wife, and is very passionate in her faith. I liked what she had to say, and asked her to write it down and forward it to me for posting here. I'm waitin...
