Self ping here. I have to come back later to make sure I can believe what my eyes just read.

I’m with you.

What is wrong with these politicians? Do they check their morals at the door of the capitol? How many friends do you have who commit felonies? Me: none.

Maybe this is how it is once you get to Congress. They start indoctrinating new members with the “we’re all great friends no matter what they political fight” mantra and that’s how they justify what they do, are able to look the other way, steal from the American people, etc.

Sen. Tom Coburn became the latest Republican lawmaker to link President Barack Obama to potential grounds for impeachment during a town hall Wednesday.

I like the 'friendly' approach. Smile as you take them down. :)

The Oklahoma Republican – who also said Obama was a "personal friend" – responded to a question from a constituent....

Very obvious what is going on here .... he's tossing a small piece of red meat to the 'base', trying to appease them. The meat is about the size of a dime and rancid, but nevermind ... the fact that he prefaces anything with "Obama is a personal friend" nullifies anything after that statement. If he wants to talk 'impeachment', he also needs to hold up the bill of particulars at the same time, instead he says 'nearing' grounds .... he's an Obama enabler. Coburn should have gotten a ride out of that meeting on a rail ... a few tar and feathers wouldn't have been a bad idea for the lying wuss, either.

I just love these Lucy and football threads. Obama is here at least till 2016 and maybe longer if he deems it. There will be no successful impeachment attempts. Jeez I still see birther threads on FR, talk about not accepting reality. Life is not fair, truth does not win out here on earth all the time, evil does sometimes prevail here. Its mitigating and subverting Obama, not these stupid hopes that the same appartus that installed him will by some miracle depose him. There is no heaven on earth, no politician, philosophy, slogan or organization will save you. Our republic is in declne and is going to perish, maybe not today or in 10 years but we are going on the ashbin of history. We have abondoned G*d and well we are on our own.

Yup. In terms of the RepublicanElite - I think of the words of Pogo, “We have met the enemy... and he is us.”

May God bless and keep you FRiend.

How droll of Coburn to utter this while allegedly collecting material with which to impeach the evil Barry.

The Oklahoma Republican – who also said Obama was a "personal friend"...

Claiming this ninnyhammer sociopath a 'friend' is like cuddling up to a rattler.

I would say that Coburn is either a liar or a fool, or perhaps both.

Feel free. I’m criticizing conduct, not a person, here. I know that LLS actually does have the requisite spiritual background to grasp what I’m saying. If I was speaking to someone so wrapped up that they were taking everything personally, I might do it differently (but not take a different view).

Our enemies, per the bible, are not people, they are devils and demons. If you’re spiritually home you’ll understand this. We attempt to the end to make common cause (yup, in spite of its liberal sound) with people against these devils and demons. Acting by all good means to move people, who by persistent engagement with evil are a menace, out of their positions is a second tack taken when the first fails. It looks like Coburn is on the verge of this.

It’s droll only if the gospel itself is droll. I’ve explained this many times in here.

The nation is going down the drain but to save the honor of America’s negroes the rat in the White Hut can’t be impeached. We have to go down the whole damned road to Communism before he leaves town.

Perhaps some would consider it poetic justice that since the early planters didn’t utter the words “Let’s Plant and Pick Our Own Cotton” we have yet another protected class. They join the muslims, illegal aliens and homosexuals.

I wish it to you too... hey dude we are all needing to be gunning for the devil if we want to see something happen here that is not only good, but great. The devil is the energy behind all the evil we see. Christ’s power is manifested not just as a raw rebuke of Satan but also as a salvation plan. They go hand in hand. The love from heaven pushes aside the hatred from hell. Our problem here isn’t that God is weak. It’s that our worship is weak. Worship and exalt God again with the resources we have been given by God and watch this place take off spiritually towards heaven like a rocket. But it isn’t rocket science. Bulldozing through the thickets of demons could take years, decades. But the result is so, so worth it. We regain a slice of heaven that way.

I do not “smile as I push liberals down the stairs.” I grin from ear to ear as I do that to Satan and his demons. We have a misfocused battle here, folks.

The miscreants are the evil spirits of Satan who prowl about the world seeking the ruination of lives and souls. The perpetrators committing the crimes are indeed disciples of Satan.

Your sophomoric attempt at some hip-Christian jive talk is not merely annoying; it’s misplaced. Furthermore your responses are muddled and confusing.

If my message is confused to you it is because you have not penetrated to a radical heaven that is ordering us to go to heaven! “Having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all men to repent.”

You have a “heaven” in mind that is ordering us to go to hell. That ain’t heaven. That’s Satan’s front.

Call it hip sophomoric all you want. Your reference point is not the glory of God; it is worldly PRIDE.

I’m gaining amazing spiritual victories because I was willing to come back to the Lord as a child would. And responses like yours, devoid of any constructive criticism as they are, only sharpen my focus.

The way you beat Satan (and thus free Satan’s disciples) is to be a disciple of Christ. You fail to show how your “let’s push liberals down the stairs” is like that. Yep, the 60’s hippies were, except for their new age focus (they should have focused square on the Lord) more in tune with heaven than our attenuated modern worship is.

“I wonder if Coburn is still having his weekly prayer sessions with Obama? I never could quite figure out how you have a prayer session with an atheist. “

****

With Obama, that means Coburn is on his knees on the Oval Office rug or kneeling on a prayer rug towards Mecca. Either is appalling.

If even in hypocrisy Barack Obama is saying amen to prayers to the actual Jesus Christ for genuinely good things and for His exaltation... that’s going to get things moving away from the wrong direction. Consider maybe that without this, Barack Obama might have been even WORSE.

I am a practical practicing Christian. I have no idea what you are.

Liberals are just God-less socialists and we are in a Crusade against the evil they peddle and saddle the rest of us with.

Jesus didn’t mean for us to stand idly by pronouncing platitudes while our enemies are kicking us to death.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Host by the power of God, cast into hell all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruination of souls.

AMEN

Pride goeth before a fall. You are a walking contradiction. Your theology is somewhat warped and incoherent.
