You are responding to my #48. Where did I suggest that you need my "permission" to do anything or my approval for that matter? Or that you should alter your homepage according to my likes or dislikes.

You are free to post content on your home page and you choose to do so. I am just as free and choose not to do so. You are free to post such content and everyone else here is free to editorialize on your content. I did.

You are free to vote for abortion-loving, rump ranger "marriage" promoting, gun grabbing, medicine socializing Mittler and I am free to reject such an abominable choice along with his Demonrat opponent.

You are evidently making the obvious mistake of imagining that I give a tinker's damn or the east end of a rodent heading west for your opinions. Nor do I care what or whom you are "concerned" about.

If I should ever feel any "need" to know your idiosyncratic and non-authoritative personal opinions or views as to the meaning of Scripture (or as to what hypothetically St. Paul might tell you), as opposed to the authority of the Teaching Magisterium of the Church to which I belong, I'll be sure to let you be the first to know. Health tip: Don't hold your breath waiting.

When you intend to vote for the ideological and moral train wreck that is Mittler for no better reason than that Obozo is a plane crash, you ought not be surprised NOT to be respected for what you hallucinate is "conservatism" or "morality" by those with the principle to reject BOTH of this year's major party candidates. NOT voting for Mittler OR Obozo is more conservative and more moral than voting FOR either of them.

You are but a keyboard personality on FR and neither a personal friend nor even an acquaintance. Anyone can judge your intended and proclaimed actions. Concededly, judging your heart and soul may well be a different matter (and is God's own province alone since it involves subjective factors that MAY be known to you and to Him but not to your fellow keyboard personalities. Of course, that which is objectively wrong is STILL objectively wrong and however you may subjectively rationalize your wrong intended actions, subjective rationalizations need carry no weight with objective observers. We need not in our relations with others, even on the internet, assume the qualities of potted plants.

Again, no One died and left you in charge of putting your own spin on Scripture unless you are known as Benedict XVI in your day job. I act in the world as God gives me time to do so. I am not a pacifist. I am unlikely to see my role as beating my sword into a plowshare. Your concept of "witness" seems to suggest posing rather than acting. In the world in which we live, there is much in the way of evil. We are not called to condone it (much less out of fear that we might offend). It is traditionally believed that, of the Twelve, Judas committed suicide, John died a natural death in old age and the rest (including Jude Thaddeus who replaced Judas among the Twelve) were martyred.

I make no claims generally as to possessing in my own right "superior Christian knowledge, understanding, virtues, or faith." In your contradictions of others, you also judge. However, we are all sinners. The last two who reached adulthood who were not sinners were Jesus Christ and his mother Mary. It is not a stretch to conclude that all others are sinners, including thee and me.

Your concept of "witness" seems very akin to posing for public consumption. To avoid giving scandal is one thing. To vote for Mittler or Obozo lest we cause "unbelievers to shun Christ" is quite another. We are not called to be Kumbaya mushrooms. See Matthew: 10:34, Luke: 22:36; Luke: 12:49-53 and Luke 14: 25-33. [Cited merely to state a position and Scriptural roots of same and not to invite lengthy Chapter and Verse swap meets of the Catholic vs. Reformed nature, much less re-fighting the Thirty Years' War].

I reasonably suspect that you have disagreements with some of the above because of disagreements between Roman Catholic and Reformed Church theology. That is to be expected. Christianity has not been unified for a substantial number of centuries, Nonetheless, varying though we may on specifics, and in whatever tradition we may worship Him, we are, at least, all of His flock.

There was a humorist Joe Queenan who parodied the song "If I Had a Hammer" substituting as lyrics: "If I had a hammer, I'd smash their guitars..."

There was and is only one Jesus Christ and we shall not see His like until He returns as promised.

If that's the case, why did you write not just a chapter as a response, but read my homepage, first comment on it, and then continue with your ignoramous commentary? Methinks you're lying and lost it, both at once. lol.

As far as I'm concerned, I haven't read anything beyond this point of your little book. You've already displayed you're dishonest, beyond ridiculous, and incapable of logical reasoning abilities.

Irrelevant as you have proven to be, feel free to have the last word. I look forward to your excruciating pain and embarrassment after the Mittler fever epidemic has passed, regardless of which of the two major party anti-Christs wins the election. One way or another as to the election outcome, actual conservatives will be united again against whomever the "winner" may be. We'll see where you wind up.

Now, take your best shot. I will ignore it.

I should give you a more substantive response. You describe as "a book" twelve paragraphs averaging fewer than three lines each. I should have realized that such a tremendous waterfall of words would tax your capabilities.

Your posts here generally and understandably refuse to raise a positive case for your political idol since there is no such argument to make.

Much of what you post is the ravings of a banshee doused in holy water raging because I and others refuse to substitute your judgment for the common sense God gave me and them. I owe you nothing as to compliance with your surrender monkey syndrome or as to respecting you or paying further attention to you.

Your every insult is a tribute. Thank you! Goodbye!

Absolutely do with people, such as yourself, who have such inflated opinions of themselves and make comments to others, such as "ou are evidently making the obvious mistake of imagining that I give a tinker's damn or the east end of a rodent heading west for your opinions. Nor do I care what or whom you are "concerned" about," and then have the audacity to think I care to read about your opinions or beliefs.

Hint: I choose to not have time but to selectively read anything you post.

Fine for you to help vote back in Obama, the one responsible not only for destroying America every which way but loose, but his horrific foreign policies failed to protect our embassies, caused our Ambassador to be raped and killed and two former Navy Seals murdered. This after Netanyahu tried to get through to Obama in the week leading up these atrocitie, several times, but Obama was just 'too busy' (going on Leno's show and meeting with a rapper pimp). Oh, how shameful that Obama and his administration lie about the fact and even apologize to them. But you'd rather keep him in office than help get rid of him.

Say what you want about Romney, but those Navy Seals would be alive, the Ambassador wouldn't have been raped and murdered, and the embassies wouldn't have been besieged on his watch.
