There was a time when all of this deceitfulness and corruption was done in the dark. Still wrong, but at least politicians 'knew' it was wrong and was ashamed to have it brought into the light. Now, democrats are 'bragging' about their corrupt deals. "No. it wasn't 1 million dollars, it was 3 million dollars that I was bribed with and I'm proud of it!" (making what's wrong, 'right' and what's right, 'wrong'.) Shame on them.

Nice try. But as the Lord has said," Remove the plank from your own eye before trying to remove a sliver from someone elses." All I know is this: It is very typical of you too call people names that don't agree with you. But when others do it, you jump all over them as if they were 'evil' and 'dangerous'.

Another sign of your lack of self esteem.

It is the ignorant one who needs to resort to name calling in order to feel inferior. It is the one with the lack of self esteem who needs to call others names in order to build up his own self esteem. Surely you have heard this before. Now, why don't you mature a little. I dare you to go back and find a post that you have written about me that doesn't have a 'name calling' in it for me. How childish. Oh, wait. How old are you?

The Salem witch trials is a good lesson for all of us to learn. Don't play around with demonic activity. You may start a fire that can't be quenched.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matt 7:15-23) It's not 'hateful' for me to suggest that he may not be a Christian. (do you even know the definition of 'hate'? Cause you use it as an answer for everything I say. Do you think I 'hate' everybody or something?) I can see anyones fruits and 'know'. This verse tells me so. Some people believe that they are saved and are not. He may call upon the name of Jesus, but does he do his will? I do know that he believes that a woman should be able to choose to abort her unborn baby, or that men should be allowed to marry men, and he feels it is okay to live in a "Robinhood" society. He allows bribery and corruption in Washington, He signs bills with earmarks in them, he isn't careful with the overspending of others money, etc. These issues are not in God's will. He may be saved, but he is mistaken on what God wants from him. I will never judge his salvation. Only God knows his heart and if he is saved or not. I can only judge what I 'see', which is his fruits. If he confessed with his mouth and asked Jesus to save his soul and he has repented, I am glad. I do not know. Sometimes I tend to think that he professes the Christian faith because it is good for his politics. Only God and he knows for sure. Because I don't, I pray for his soul.

My apologies. It was mostly reps who voted 'yes'. About half of the democratic reps were on board. But they got the okay to go to war from all of them with a majority vote. It's nothing like the HC bill and practically ALL the reps vote no and they need to scramble for every single vote to get what they want.

You meant it in a derogatory way. When black people jokingly call themselves the 'N' word it is acceptable. When others do it in a derogatory way, it is not acceptable. You know that full well. Are you trying to say that you have not used 'words' and 'namecalling' while refering to conservatives? Because I can go back and get some of your posts to prove that you have.

This is worth repeating: Liberals suffer from a number of maladies and delusions, but several are painfully obvious. First, not only are they incapable of taking care of themselves, they cannot comprehend why they should be FORCED to take care of themselves. They are terrified of everything that is not pre-processed, homogenized and approved by an official governmental entity. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for. That my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

She doesn't see it. She has used name calling many times concerning conservatives, yet she doesn't equate herself with those who call democrats names. I showed her protest photo after photo of democrat's saying nasty things, even death threats on Bush, yet she doesn't get it. There will always be those who call names to those who oppose them. Even you.

The new car thing was an example of the many things that parents just 'give' their kids that they don't have to work for. When children grow up having everything handed to them, they tend to grow up with a sense of entitlment and laziness. This is also true of the american people who have everything handed to them. C's are not stingy, they are very giving people. They just feel that when people work for their livlihood, they have a sense of accomplishment and pride.

No I don't. I pray for his soul. Because that is the most important thing that he needs. Without an understanding of God and what he wants, Obama will never be able to run the country right. This is why I only vote for Christian candidates. If Obama fails, it is because he is doing as he pleases instead of what God would like him to do.

God tells us to study to show yourself approved. This means that if you truly want to know what he is talking about, study his words. You can't get a 'right' idea about all he has to say on a subject until you read it ALL.

Even without the word of God man can 'know' that their Creator intended them to be with woman. Their bodies are formed to have sexual relations with each other and bring forth children. The man's organ fits into the woman's where the sperm reaches the egg. The first man and woman were Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. When men have sex with men, that ends the human race, for if all were homosexual, there could be no new births. Let's face it, even without God actually "telling" you in the bible that it's not right, you know it full well. It's not what was intended for humans.

The whole, complete bible includes the new testament.

Wrong. I am very happy. I do not ever struggle, cause Jesus did all the struggling for me on the cross. I am free. My sinful life is just that. I understand that I will sin every day, and accept that. I know what Jesus has done for me, and accept his free gift of forgiveness. And because I have been born again, I know where I will live eternally, I know who has my back, I know who is in control, I have no fears, I have peace and joy and contentment in my life. It is your world that is in turmoil, not mine. You don't even know what God considers right and wrong. Your right and wrong is determined by how you feel about an issue at the time. You have no absolutes or moral code to abide by. Without one, you will always be questioning, never really knowing truth.

Conservatives are definitely not stingy. They are 'fair'. When a person does not want their gov. to support others with their money, it does not mean they are stingy. This is the BIG difference between liberals and conservatives. C's want the people to be independant, L's do not. It's likened to a parent who withholds things from their children because it is 'What's Best" for them. They will succeed in life if you don't buy them their first car and they save for it themselves. They will even take better care of it if they pay for it themselves. C's are very giving, yet they have higher standards for others. If they can succeed, so can those who take the governments money instead of helping themselves. Dem's are insecure because they have a great need for the gov. to control their existance here. Oh, yes, we need the gov. for some things. (military defense, police, infrastructure, etc.) But we don't need a high percentage of the wasteful spending that they do. That's another differnce between the 2. Needs vs. wants.

Conservatives help their fellowman all the time. They don't need a government to do it for them. Liberals NEED the government to do all their thinking and good deeds for them, they are insecure and NEED to know that there is a back up for them. Liberals don't care about their countryman, they care about themselves.

Yes, robinhood. congress (mostly dems) approved that war.

This guy has not read the bible, for if he did, he wouldn't believe the malarky he does. The laws that God handed down in the Old Testament are for all people, not just the Jews. "Thou shalt not murder" is also an OT law. Is he going to say that Christians do not need to adhere to that law because God spoke it to the Jews? What about all the New Testament writings forbidding Homosexuality? Even if that law was given to only the Jews, which it wasn't, Jesus gives it to all of us also in the NT. The problem with people interpreting the bible is that they do not know ALL of it before they come to their conclusion. They pick something out of the bible and try to conform their rules of morality through one verse.

What part of her statement do you consider WRONG!!! And why? QUOTE First of all, the bible was written by men, not God, not women and each man who has rewritten the bible has added his own interpretation of what the original words mean when translated into another language God gave the words, men wrote them down. When the bible was re-written, noone added his own interpretations to it. If you feel that what was written was interpreted differently, then you may read from the original greek which is translated into english. I have that bible and when I compare it to other translations (NIV,American Standard,KJV, Amplified, etc.)There is no differing in meanings.

All scholars of the bible have no problems with interpeting the scriptures that teach what is conscrued as 'right' and what is conscrued as 'wrong'. It is those who want to do what is wrong that have the problems with the bibles interpretation. There may be some slight, and I mean slight, interpretation differences among some people who read something and then discuss it, but for the most part, when it says: (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) " Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." Can you interpret that to mean something else? How about this? Can it mean something else? (Romans 1:26,27) Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. There are other scriptures that condemn homosexuality, and there is NO interpretation problems with them. Those who want to engage in homosexual acts will tell you that they 'interpret' it differently, but they're not fooling anyone. The scripture says what it says.
