It’s a scary thing facing God with unrepentant sin!

None. These people have no fortitude.

Love him or hate him, GHW Bush was probably the best foreign policy President the US has had in my life time.

He managed the peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union without a shot being fired.

He was the right man in the right place and right time in history

The world would have been a much better place if he had been re elected fir a second term.

His elitist Yale progressive, collegial and patrician tendencies have always been his downfall

His only major misstep was appointing some dumb ass woman as ambassador to Iraq ti show hoe broad minded and progressive he was.

The world is still coping with the disaster her incompetence set in motion

That would be Ambassador April Glaspie. Wikipedia has an interesting entry about her, though I agree with your sentiment regarding GHWB and her. But I still hold a number of other issues against GHWB...

1. Turning his back on the Reagan Revolution and even reversing elements of it.
2. "No new taxes ..."
3. "New world order ..."
4. Entry into Somalia with only 1 month left in his administration.

I had to re-read that twice before I understood what you meant.

Fond hope. In vain, I fear. If anything, it keeps the door open for the big, BIG donors.

Did you ever take a look at who's funding the gay activist groups? It's not just rich same-sex two-income couples. It's the corporate leviathans.

LOOK HERE.

LOL...where's DeNiro?

"Attending a wedding has no relation to whether or not the attendee approves of the sex of the couple."

Not so. Attendees are witnesses to the wedding, which gives it social and (to them) moral validation. They are there to celebrate the acceptance of this perversion.

Declining to celebrate the ongoing disintegration of our culture need involve no harsh words, no confrontations. Without making any inappropriate announcements, I simply don't go to re-marriages of divorced friends, for this reason. My friends know this. If they know me, they know why.

Not as good as Reagan: "Tear down this wall, Mr. Gorbachev!"

I’m sure you’re right.

David Horowitz wrote a book about the big foundations. The top ten of them spend something like 100 or 1000 times as much as the Koch brothers do on politics and advocacy, etc.

It was largely Andrew Carnegie who tamped down Protestant objections to the spread of government schools, by buying pipe organs for churches across the country.

The rich get rich by PRODUCING things people want. They become engines of destruction when they start “giving back” (i.e., buying what THEY want).

It's a puzzler, though.

Why do ATT, Wells Fargo, IBM, JP Morgan Chase, Disney/ABC, GodlmanSachs, Kellogg's, fer Pete's sake, want to reward sexually disordered relationships, and penalize normal families?

Well, some of these companies probably have a large contingent of homosexuals—much higher than 2%. The rest of the population in these companies are probably about 60-80% shacked-up, 99.9% using the Pill, etc. There is simply no reason for them not to promote ANY form of sexual liberation. The fact that they publicize their promotion of sexual liberation shows that they see it as good for business. And all the big gay groups give awards for these policies.

Sorry, the only “witnesses” at a wedding are those at the altar with the couple.

The rest of the people are GUESTS!!! Guests may “view” the wedding, but they are not legally a witness.

A witness to a wedding is REQUIRED to sign as a witness on a legal document.

I'm sorry for my imprecision. I should have specified: they are moral witnesses.

That I would agree with. It is a moral issue.

However, people in politics have a weird way of overstepping the bounds of morality in the guise of “fairness”. It’s still a personal choice.
