Then why was Biden tasked with attending?
The left doesn’t know anything but tearing things down and hating. Faced with actually being the ones in power and actually have to produce results and be responsible must shake them to the core.
"Several months ago, I wrote a piece for AT defining Barack Obama as a flake. People have asked me since, do I still believe that? As the lady said: you betcha.
The messiah is running out of tricks. Turns out he is after all just a mortal. And a liberal one.
LOL, thanks for the pic.
BTTT!
"Now, this is the latest example of the mythic Obama luck in action."
Apparently, the Bible was missing when he was finally sworn in again by Roberts. Another omen perhaps. Since his first major act after that was to expand global abortion funding with U.S. tax dollars. Seconded by Madam Pelosi's explanation that birth control helps the economy. Creepy. A lot of strange vibes for his first week in office. Along with the Alinsky baiting of Rush Limbaugh.
As the debt grows and the dollar falls will anyone dare say: "The Emperor is wearing no clothes"?
I rarely if ever defend my own lack of faith here, but even MENTIONING that some Americans indeed are nonbelievers is "alienating" to those who do believe--even though they were mentioned?
That's incredibly petty and childish.
1) The Miracle of the Instruments:
Beautiful music flowed from instruments that weren't even being played! What's more the music was heard far and wide by all those who attended the Inauguration.
2) The Miracle of the Tunnel:
Thousands walked into a tunnel and though they did not get out the other side in time to witness the Inauguration, holy documents (referred to as "programs") were sent to them describing the great sights that they missed.
3) The Miracle of the Moneylender:
A tax cheating, law breaking, dissolute man known for squandering money to curry favor with greedy interests was magically transformed into a great and benevolent economist and treasurer right before the eyes of our elected representatives.
Can anyone yet deny that we have indeed chosen the Chosen One?
Anomie is the enemy.
What is Hillary and Bill's alibi for that time frame? And just where was Sandy Burger? :)
Well, do you believe in America? Isn’t that tantamount to believing in God, even if you don’t want to admit it? If you truly are an unbeliever, what is there to take offense at? Why judge?
“Take a brody”? What the heck.....?
Uh, I couldn't make heads or tails of that last one, but I'll answer in order:
Yes, I believe in America.
Believing in America is the same as believing in God? No. That makes no sense.
Uh, I'm not the one offended--the point of my post is that I'm curious why BELIEVERS are supposedly offended by the mere mention that there are others who aren't believers.
'Why judge?' Still can't figure out what you're talking about there.
We tried to tell them they were selecting Darth Cheney's cousin.
What were they promised? Rainbows, unicorns, falling sea levels, global harmony. Oh yeah, pie.
He not only has no clothes, but has some odd desires..
Only great in that we can watch the scatterbrain self-destruct before the world.
"flake" is an appropriate, but kind, term in describing Obama. His public persona, and intellect, is much affected and now that he is going to be under the world's spotlight the charade will eventually be exposed.
You said , "That's incredibly petty and childish." Isn't that a judgment? A rather severe one, it would seem! On what basis is it made? Why are you invested in such concepts as pettiness and childishness? What God ordained these? And if you have no God, what is pettiness and childishness to you?
What would you call it when someone reacts with outrage--and it's characterized as some major slam against believers --because a segment of Americans who have always been here and contributed to the greatness of of the country is merely mentioned? You don't think that's petty and childish?
On what basis is it made?
Adults getting angry at one word refering to someone other than themselves is pretty childish. (What is this aversion to judgments? Isn't that the liberal thing, they hate people judging?)
Why are you invested in such concepts as pettiness and childishness?
Why are you so invested in asking so many questions of me?
Merely mentioning those two words in one sentence means I am "invested" in them?
What God ordained these?
I don't believe there is a god, so...none. What does that have to do with this conversation>
And if you have no God, what is pettiness and childishness to you?
Well, that question is rather childish--one can't observe pettiness or childishness (wow, you're really upset about that one sentence) without believing in god? I'm proof they can.
Why aren't you discussing the topic instead of asking me questions that aren't pertinent after about the third rephrasing?
Why has my post upset you so much?
America was explicitly founded on a belief in God, so it seems to me that if you deny God, you deny the founding principles of America, and indeed the very idea of The United States of America, as conceived. You're left with a rationalistic judgement that everything worked out great, but nothing like a belief in America, AFAICT.
One of my major failings is that I never took time to read Saul Alinsky. But,seeing parts of his writings quoted everywhere, it appears he wrote text books on how to bring down the powers that be. Did he write anything on what to do next? Or, was his goal perpetual anarchy?
His disciples seem to have no clue on what to do next. Did he not give them instructions?
