I'm glad. Anyone with a good spouse and good children has it made in my book.
Did you ever run across that one woman who they keep going to for sound bites? The one who prefers the "tyranny of the minority" model, where if one person feels "uncomfortable" then everybody else can go jump in a lake? She claims that she clerked for O'Connor. Maybe O'Connor's rapid decline in her later years is in part because she used poor judgment in hiring athiest scumbags like this woman as clerks.
"Seems to me a lot of "nobody's" are using petty religious
issues to find their 15 minutes of fame. Petty. Really petty!"
Michael Newdow is at the top of my list for acting that way. A 5 ton monument though could be argued as doing that too though.
I agree with you - and I wasn't advocating having your pastor recommend a candidate. But, the candidate has positions on various policy issues. Jesus speaks to each of those areas...do you know what the bible teaches about economics, or sociology? Does tbe bible have anything to say about politics, or law? It does...and candidates who are worthy of my vote should know what those principles are. But I can't assess their positions if I don't know what the Bible teaches in each of those areas, and others.

If by five ton monument, you mean Michael Moore,
I understand. Otherwise I need more clarity.

Indeed, though various interpretations get used sometimes. Like I said before, even on here, the religion threads get downright nasty with disagreements over various interpretations. Who we vote for is often determined by our set of values (especially religious ones). While I most often vote for the party that starts with an R, if the R guy is a scumbag, then I will not vote for him (sometimes neither). And yes, sometimes it is the lesser of two evils. Luckily our munincipal elections here had candidates with strong morals who really try to serve with integrity. I can't say the same about many on the State level, though there are a few good eggs out there. Unfortunately, those are the guys that are increasingly being targeted by the special interests and others.
Justice Black, former member of the KKK, and undoubtedly anti-Catholic.
Wrong Moore, though he is a five ton monument. I do believe that those seeking to remove Ten Commandment monuments that have been there for a long time as part of the display are just dumb to put it in my own terms.
Theory: Moonbat Socials
Is the flood of MSM/Leftist pressure especially noticeable around this time of year? The holidays offer a great time to gather around family and friends. Social gatherings also afford a great opportunity to snuggle up with like-minded comrades; if you are invited to all the "really important" cocktail parties.
While the left is generally fractured, self-absorbed and disorganized, Christmas 2005 can be remembered for its exceptionally strong anti-Bush, anti-religion, anti-war rhetoric on paper and on the airwaves.
Very public disagreements amongst the left, plus Bush climbing in the polls have to be the main focus for these Moonbat Socials. What better time to organize and plan offensive strategies while attending a gathering for a religious season that has no significance to the Moonbats in the first place?
News Directors, Producers, Publishers, Lawyers, Journalists, Academics, and on-air Talent are likely gathering under the banner of year-end (never called Christmas) cocktail parties. The result? A sort of collective rah-rah session with anti-Bush, anti-religion, anti-War ideas being tossed around as often as the phrase "did you see that dress she was wearing?"
Take heart FReepers, Moonbat Socials are a season thing; a product of circumstance. While many of us look to family and close friends around the Holidays, those with little regard for either are just a little more coordinated than usual.
Merry Christmas FReepers
Until after 1960, there was a Protestant Establishment. Thereafter, the Establishment beccame more and more secular in its views. The decline of the Episcopal Church in the United States is one sign of the transformation of the elites, but it was a process that had begun a hundred years before, after the Civil War and with the ascendency of social darwinism.
Bump!
[...Moonbat Socials...]
A great opportunity to apply "WON BY ONE" strategy.
It's amazing how cowardly liberals are when confronted
individually. Tawanda!!!
I've never had it ever--growing up and now. I had a guy call up offering cable service. I said that with the amount of TV I watched per week that I would be paying about $6 an hour and that was too much. He tried other tactics, but the expense amount still stood.
Give me ESPN and an old-time cartoon station for about $8 a month and I might consider it--maybe one of the learning channels too.
Justice Thurgood Marshall was reduced to watching sitcoms in his chambers, before he retired. Justice Douglas was drooling, before he retired. The last opinions to come from the chambers of both of them, were entirely clerk-generated.
The best source to understand how the Court actually functions behind its high marble walls, read The Brethren. Then, plug into that process the logical result as Justices grow old and feeble. Prior to the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist, the Court was the most old and feeble in its history.

Is that what Michael Moore says when he's doing a gymnastics vault?
young people, full of p*ss and vinegar
The former Justic White actually led the NFL in rushing one year I think.
Ever wonder why they nest on the coasts? The fly-over states usually scare the cr*p out of them.
New reality show idea..Moonbat Survivor...Turn them loose with 50 bucks in their pocket on a rural midwestern road.
