I stand by everything I said. I’d vote for Tancredo.

I remember wondering why McCain was a republican back then.

Hollywood’s one of the most effective conduits of evil our world has seen.

He doesn’t say he is one, “He was Baptized into the Church of Christ” That’s it, no other salvation testimony?

I could have said “to eventually marry a trophy wife” but spent 10 years in between chasing and catching women.

“I don’t remember that box.”

There you go with the bearing false witness thing again.. He did say he is a Christian, on several occasions, and this quote 'baptized into the Church of Christ' was taken from a comment by his spokesperson, a comment you so carefully left off the first part..
"Thompson is indeed a Christian," Corallo said. "He was baptized into the Church of Christ."

Even Dobson, where all of this 'doubt' was started, backed off his statement and said.. Sen. Thompson professes to be a believer..

“The problem is some schools are just teaching to this because they only answer to groups whose only interest is high scores, not education. I am all for testing, but local school boards are pushing more for scores than actual learning”
How do high scores on Math Reading and English not represent education? Please define what you mean by “actual Learning” more diversity classes? More sex education (pornafication of children)? More passing students year after year because of their age not their grades? More dumbing down of the curriculum so public schools can maintain the touchy feely approach to basic education?
The bottom line is this, 2 plus 2 equals 4. That will never change, wheres the harm in testing to see if a 1st grader knows that or not?

..again, I’m all for testing, but this isn’t just about math and reading, for example, a school requires all teachers to spend part of their class period covering XX items for the State test- which includes minimums for diversity education and cultural studies. A math teacher, for example, has to spend part of his time teaching diversity points that are on the test.

They also have to spend a block of time in each class teaching ‘how to take the test’..

Again, I am all for testing, and I’m all for rewarding based on those tests, what I am not for is the school boards making the decisions without the parent’s involvement in the curriculum nor having any oversight to ensure the kids are actually being taught- that is the breaking point.

Alas, we seem to agree~ go figure.

For someone from the Church of Christ, saying that they were baptized into the church of Christ IS the only salvation evidence you’re going to find. Salvation testimony as a concept does not belong there. That’s the reason he worded it that way, that is what he was referring to : salvation.
