And remember how God took another modern day Molech out of the picture in former Senator Paul Wellstone.

Lautenberg in hospital...breaking
**Let’s hope he retires and recovers completely afterwards.**
I was thinking the same thing. How old is he anyway?
How about you quit embarrassing yourself and wasting my time and follow that post that got your panties in wad, back to it’s beginning.
I’m normally agnostic. This is really making me wonder though.
Update: Lautenberg aide says senator ‘in great spirits,’ will remain in hospital overnight for observation - NBC
I wish Senator Lautenberg happiness, warm fuzzies, lollipops, rainbows, and unicorns. I also hope that he retires from the Senate immediately and enjoys his recovery and rehab.
I’m inclined to believe the same thing. It’s something we definitely don’t deserve. Or at least, it’s something the baby-killing, collectivists don’t deserve.
At the last judgment, we will find out about all the little cloistered nuns and monks whose prayers kept God from raining fire and brimstone down on us.
There have been a couple of articles the last day or two wherein Cheney sounds very favorable towards repealing DADT. And not because he wants it to go back to “no homosexuals”.
Bad bad bad bad.
Someone keep an eye on Robert Byrd. If ever a Senate seat was due for a change, that would be the one....
KARL: OK, “don’t ask/don’t tell” — you’re a former defense secretary — should this policy be repealed?
CHENEY: Twenty years ago, the military were strong advocates of “don’t ask/don’t tell,” when I was secretary of defense. I think things have changed significantly since then. I see that Don Mullen — or Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has indicated his belief that we ought to support a change in the policy. So I think — my guess is the policy will be changed.
KARL: And do you think that’s a good thing? I mean, is it time to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military?
CHENEY: I think the society has moved on. I think it’s partly a generational question. I say, I’m reluctant to second-guess the military in this regard, because they’re the ones that have got to make the judgment about how these policies affect the military capability of our — of our units, and that first requirement that you have to look at all the time is whether or not they’re still capable of achieving their mission, and does the policy change, i.e., putting gays in the force, affect their ability to perform their mission?
When the chiefs come forward and say, “We think we can do it,” then it strikes me that it’s — it’s time to reconsider the policy. And I think Admiral Mullen said that.

Brown voted twice for a state constitutional amendment for traditional marriage.
Can you name anyone in the state Senate of Mass. who has a better voting record on abortion than Scott Brown?
And NO, we do NOT need more Scott Browns. Unless they are running in states like Vermont or Connecticut or Portland, Maine ...
I am sorry I even read this thread. Is Sen Byrd dead yet?
OK I’ll bite, why are you sorry that you read this thread?
a weird theology, God as a pinch-hitter ... Lincoln’s second inaugural scoffed at such thinking ... with Obama’s election, a more sober Court is deferred for another generation ... with 3 Obama appointees.
As a veteran of Brown for Senate, I don’t wanna be trashing Brown, but as a veteran of Brown for Senate, I have limited expectations for him, so I don’t feel like defending him.
I expect, as he is a REPUBLICAN, he will find a way to screw things up enough that he will be ousted in his ‘12 re-election bid due to his own missteps.
I too was a Brown volunteer, but that was only for the Massachusetts Senate race, I am appalled at some of the freeper posts that are holding him up as something desirable outside of that.
You should see some of the Brown for President threads, some of our lighter freepers are very giddy over the prospect.
Prayers up.
Thanks.
“Society has moved on”. So when “change” happens, it’s good, because it’s inevitable - or inevitable because it’s good? Or just a “go with the flow” kind of thing? Or we should go this direction since we’re alreayd headed that way?
OMG. Byrd! Good grief. . .’could, woulda’ that is. . .
These old Rat geezers don’t take the hint and retire, they have to be taken out and God is ever willing........
