You don't have to square it Mary.
You need not square it because whether one supports Israel or not has nothing whatever to do with Jews going to heaven. You know and so do I. This is the strangest most convoluted ridiculous conversation I think I have ever seen. Were I you, I would bail on it now. Somehow, in the midst of all of this, a very sinister point will be made which will made sense to no one but the one asking you to equate supporting Israel with Jews going to heaven.
You remember Mary Jo doncha?
Sentenced to a watery grave. Died while Teddy gathered his clan to decide what to do. You know, Mary Jo. Just an ordinary girl like most other ordinary girls I know. I mean, don't you think it is the least he could have done, pay for her funeral? Be careful who you defend. JFK was a great president, the family is basically rotten to the core.
OTOH, he could go for a Hail Mary
grandstand in an effort to resuscitate his anemic legacy.
Funeral...
I did not watch the whole thing either but I was thinking how unbelievable it was that Mrs. King was lying in state and then had her funeral attended by 4 presidents. Events like Katrina bring the inequalities in this country to the forefront, yet Ms. King's funeral would not have happened 40 years ago, a woman, a black woman, lying in state in the State of Georgia.For a state who still sports the Confederate Flag as a portion of its state flag. I would say we have come a long way.
As far as the remarks made, I doubt that they were off the cuff, in other words my guess is that the content of the speeches would have to have been run by the King family first. Politics has been an integral part of their lives since the 1950s, so politics would not be an offensive subject to broach in this particular setting. I don't believe one could discuss Mrs. King's life without the mention of politics. Mrs. King took the torch from her husband and became the figurehead for civil rights, ergo, politics was appropriate in this case, albeit uncomfortable. From the position of the King family and the congregation present there is still much work to be done and that sentiment was conveyed by the speakers.
You really are infatuated with Mother Mary Bridger, huh? (sm)
I think Mother Mary Bridger needs body guards to keep the stalkers away.
Every state funeral is that long
as its been for every deceased president. It's the same whether its a Democrat or Republican. They are tiresomely long, but Coretta Scott King's service was one long tiresome bash of anything white, conservative or Republican. I'm sure Coretta would've not wanted it to be that way, the wonderful woman she was. I'm sorry you're so jaded as to think every memorial service should be an opportunity to bash Bush, Republicans, or conservatives. Have a nice day.
Military Funeral Protesters
The people who protest at military funerals are radical homosexual and gay-rights haters led by noted wacko Fred Phelps, Kendra.

Just Google Fred Phelps military funerals.
Protests at Tiller's funeral.
We are all entitled to our opinions about abortion but for God sakes people....why do we feel the need to protest at someone's funeral. Isn't the family going through enough. Their loved one was gunned down and now you are protesting at his funeral. I'm pro-life and these protests at his funeral upset even me. It is hard enough attending a funeral service of a loved one without this added drama and craziness.
turned down for disability - notified the day of the funeral!
My sister-in-law was diagnosed with a heart condition and told she only had a matter of months to live. She applied for disability and her husband received the notice that her benefits were denied on the day of her funeral because they said she was not disabled. Now how much more disabled can you get?
Longest Hail Mary pass in history of fooball or Marys!
Regarding John McCain's effort to weasel out of the debate with Barack Obama:
For what it's worth, the man who is leading congressional Democrats in negotiating the bailout deal with the administration isn't impressed with Sen. McCain's announcement.
Rep. Barney Frank told a group of reporters outside the House chamber:
"It's the longest Hail Mary pass in the history of either football or Marys."
King funeral--just another money shot for politicians
and opportunity for all politicians involved to bloviate ad nauseum. The whole thing went on forever. Reminds me of the old Appalachian mountain funerals where there were five or six preachers and each one had to see who could out preach the other.
Everybody had to get their money shot (especially Clinton and Carter) and to me it was sad to see a bunch of politicans and so-called religious leaders take advantage a good woman's funeral just to make their political hay.
Goes to show that you can't even die anymore without it being shrouded in politics.
This is just ridiculous! Is this kind of a funeral? Have you ever heard of emails? Email her!..nm
