The truth is that this orange clown Sockavillain or whatever his name is actually started this **** by invading South Ossetia and he apparently was under some sort of a delusion about Jorge Bush, Kongaloser Rice, and George Soros being able to do anything more about it than cry, which is all they’re gonna do.

If that’s what it takes to keep Obumma out of the whitehouse, find and dandy but, in a rational world, nobody in D.C. should have to give a rat’s ass about what goes on in the Caucasus or in Central Asia. Drill, drill, drill, drill........

Near as I can tell, this whole thing is about oil and about the fact that a rogue political party has crippled American energy infrastructure as a means to acquiring power and has gotten away with it. In a rational world there is no way in hell anybody in Washington D.C. would give a rat's ass over anything happening in the Caucasus or in Central Asia.

Humanitarian concerns?? Pu-leeez... There are vastly worst humanitarian problems all over the world which neither John McCain nor anybody else in D.C. give a damn about, and my own take would be to start with Africa and the Sudan.

In a rational world, the United States would be seen protecting the interests of Christians in places like the Sudan in which they are persecuted. In the world we actually live in, American military power gets used to bomb innocent Christian nations into dust for 80 days and nights including Easter Sunday for the benefit of slammite narco-terrorists, and it's about oil.

Want to fix the problem? Drill, drill, drill, drill, drill....

Putin is probably the best Ruler Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter. The crybaby acts from the selfsame idiots responsible for Kosovo are hysterical and that’s all they do about it is cry.

In medieval times people wore armor. Kicking somebody with armor on would simply have you talking to the foot doctor; on the other hand, getting picked up and slammed into the ground, the suit of armor would just make it worse....

I'll say it again: Starting with Kosovo, and then George Soros trying to surround Russia with "orange(TM)" governments, and then NATO trying to ensconce itself on Russia's doorstep, somebody has simply rubbed Russia's nose in it one too many times and the obvious consequences have occurred.

Some of the idiots doing all the braying on these threads need to consider who they're hopping into bed with here, i.e. in this case, George Soros, and our feral state department. George Soros is a totally evil man; nothing with his stamp or inprimature on it bodes well for any normal or decent people.

Sounds to me like between Kosovo, George Soros trying to set up “orange(TM)” governments around Russia and NATO’s machinations, somebody has tried to rub Russia’s nose in it one too many times and got burned.

Sounds like he failed to see that Putin wasn’t a total chump. Also sounds like somebody finally rubbed Russia’s nose in it one or two too many times and got some sort of a reaction. Shame the tanks didn’t roll into Kosovo instead...

I suppose a man self-resurrecting after being dead for three days could be explained with sufficient understanding which we will only get after we are with the Father...

You don't need to wait that long. At least part of the explanation is in Julian Jaynes' "Origins of Consciousness" and the only caveat I'd make is that I view that stuff as real and not as any sort of a mass hallucination, "auditory" or otherwise.

Jesus had no more use for a dead body than you or I do and you can be certain that if he'd tried to walk around Jerusalem for 40 days and nights in a real dead body, the Romans would have figured it out, crucified him a second time, and done whatever it would have taken to ensure that he STAYED crucified.

Nonetheless to the people who saw him, the experience was totally indistinguishable from what they'd have expected if he HAD been walking around in a real dead body, e.g. the testimony of Thomas.

The mistake people make with Jesus is thinking he was the first or only person ever to be heard from after he'd died. He was the LAST. There are a couple of other such stories in the Bible e.g. the ghost story concerning King Saul, the prophet Samuel, and the "witch" of Endor, and several instances of beings which were clearly spirits being referred to as "men" in Genesis.

But by the time of Christ, nobody had seen or heard anything like that for several centuries and people were starting to become atheists and evolutionites like the idiots we read about today. Jesus mission on Earth was to disabuse the human race of that sort of error in thinking.

Christianity is faith based on historical accounts of eyewitnesses to supernatural events that occurred in fullfillment of recorded prophecy.

I don't see anything in the bible which I'd call "supernatural"; stuff we don't understand for sure, but if you want violations of mathematical and probabilistic laws in wholesale lots, you need to be talking to the evolutionites. They specialize in that sort of thing.

Between Kosovo, George Soros trying to surround Russia with “orange(TM” governments, and NATO trying to set up shop all around Russia, it appears as if somebody has rubbed Russia’s nose into it one too many times.

You get some of these people who by all rights should know better talking about a “fact of evolution” and, far as anybody knows, none of them owns the time machine they’d need to prove or demonstrate such a thing.

The term you want for Obama might be “slammunist”. Normally you’d figure that I-slam and communism don’t mix, sort of like oil and water; Obama appears intent on disproving that hypothesis.

Near as I can tell, normal workaday scientists don’t have this sort of problem. The problem arises when scientists try to pontificate on topics they don’t really have any sort of a decent handle on, which are usually origins type topics like evolution and cosmology issues.

I remember reading in 1999 that the oil companies themselves preferred the Russian pipeline plan. Something is very wrong with the picture.

I mean, freedom and independence are wonderful, provided you do it on your own property. What we have with Kosovo is a case of slow-motion land theft, which isn’t exactly the same thing.

No ****!!!!! You mean, like somebody done figured it out or something like that??

At some point and soon, if anything other than liberalism and the democrat party is to survive in this country, there has to be a serious and major rebellion against the state monopoly on education.

This is garbage. Gasoline in 1998 was around 80 cents a gallon and there hasn’t been any sort of a four - one increase in living costs since then.
