My "messiah" is Jesus, and he is with the Heavenly Father; the President.....sm
is very hard at work trying to please everyone because he can seem to do no right to the right, and also he is trying to build a ladder so we can climb out of the gigantic chasm that he inherited and sincerely wants to mend...with time, patience, sacrifice, perseverance, bipartisan help, and by implementing new rules, regulations, and spending investments that will take time to turn things around, but he is BEING A PRESIDENT and not a trained chimp, looking the other way on difficult issues. OK, I know this will be flamed, but I don't see the EAGERNESS that many folk have about seeing our President fail....if HE fails, WE fail, and excuse me, it has only been a month. What did President Bush accomplish in 8 years besides spending trillions in a meansingless, unwinnable war, and making Cheney, Halliburton, and all his friends more money, while securing all their oil interests? I am trying so hard not to be partisan here, but these one-liners that are posted that do nothing but doom and ridicule a brand new president...why so intent on that???
I was expecting this...
response. No, I don't know what you have been through in your life. I don't even know who you are. It was just a wild guess on my part that you have probably not experienced any of the things I mentioned. Usually people who have really suffered, no matter whose fault it is, if there is any fault to be had at all, empathize with people in crisis. Blaming the ***victim*** is something I just cannot abide; it is an eccentricity of mine. I don't care where they have been, what they have done, what they are not doing, blah, blah, blah. I am still better off than they are and always have been only through the Grace of God and I mean only through the Grace of God. The reasons I have been able to rise up out of the ashes the many times I have is because of the gifts I was born with. I am white (well half anyway), and if you don't think being white in America is a leg up you are extremely deluded. I am physically sound. I am good looking. I have an above-average IQ. I was raised with a deeply ingrained faith that has served me all my life because the people who raised me (accident of birth) were married (to each other) and felt strongly about faith. I had an excellent education because they felt the same way about education. Those are all gifts I received the day I was born. I did not pull myself up by my bootstraps all by myself; no one does.
I am comparing other cities to Beirut because other than Miami and Newark which are just dangerous period, they have all been bombed and people killed. No large metropolitan city is safe.
I will leave this subject alone now. I will admit to you that yout initial post hit a nerve with me, I just see red when I hear or read someone berating people in crisis, no matter what. The end.
You think expecting someone to be held
lacking compassion?? I think it's the key to life. Case in point, I read today where once again we have a major hurricane and 250,000 chose not to heed evacuation warnings. And guess what? NOW they want to be bailed out, want rescuers to risk life and limb to save them from their own bad choices. You're right, though, I suppose. While I do have much compassion for the TRULY needy, I don't think there are as many of them in this country as the numbers using programs would reflect. I don't have a lot of compassion for lazy people who think they deserve life's best handed to them on a silver platter. I know a guy who hasn't worked in years and makes more money on disability than I make slaving at my computer for 50 hours a week, and there's not a thing wrong with him. They even have the guy on video doing heavy lifting and the whole 9 yards but he still gets those checks. I guess I'll just smile and be compassionate toward him and his sorry lot in life. lol
No the STUPIDEST thing is expecting
while Obama continues to campaign. Should all the pubs sit around praying for Obama while he's out smearing the pub party? I don't think so.
I have to wonder just how much he cared about the woman. After all, he thought she was racist (according to his book, his words) and didn't visit her that often.
What is Rahm expecting to happen?
That is why we need a Civilian National Security Force?
That's like expecting a tidal wave to stop
because you are pointing a hair dryer at it. It's just not going to happen on this board.
I would love nothing more than to see a bipartisan effort on this entire board, but there is to much back and forth already.
That's why something like this should have been put on the prayer request board and not the politics board.
And honestly, she shouldn't be looking for a reply. It should just satisfy her enough to put it on here. Why should it matter if there are three replies or three hundred? The number of replies doesn't equal the number of prayers he is getting. And I'm almost positive Obama doesn't read this board to see our condolences. (Although if he did, at least we would know he knew what an MT was! :) )
Again, I hate to hear that about his grandmother. But if she knows her Lord, she will be in a better place and without the pain. That is what is so great about being a Christian, knowing there is something better after this life!
Once against falsely labeled
I have called no one three stooges. It aint me, babe..do..do..do..it aint me, babe, it aint me you are looking for, babe. Was not I.
They labeled themselves once SP entered the mix.
Feminists for Life of America, a bipolar schizoaffective collection of right-wing fringers who delude themselves into believing they can call themselves feminists and still be telling the truth.
Don't see anything labeled "Christianity Day"

Wow, you don't even know me and you have labeled me. How fair-minded of you.
Can you even see how silly you are? Probably not.
I am in the same boat, labeled a hater.sm
All I want is accountability and truth.
Before I get labeled an anti-semite...
since I have already been branded with the B word...let me please invite everyone to read the entire thread between Maryland Gal, myself, and others. I have never, nor would I ever, compare any of the Jewish race to Hitler, nor would I compare abortion to what Hitler did (other than in the general sense I believe both to be murder). That being said, the point I was trying to make is that when morals decline and the moral compass turns and what used to be unacceptable and horrific becomes acceptable, people like Hitler can rise up and convince thousands of people that it is all right to exterminate a race of people simply because they believe them to be inferior or subhuman. It happened once and it could happen again. And it starts as people begin to rationalize things like abortion. And assisted suicide. And euthanasia (check out how Holland handles euthanasia right now today and you will see what I mean). That was my only point entirely. I certainly do not hate the Jewish people. I certainly do not minimize what happened to them, nothing can compare with how horrific that was. Many American soldiers died fighting to stop it. That is what America does. We point at what we believe to be wrong and say so. At least we used to. I am just concerned that the less we point and the more we turn our heads, the worse it will be for us, especially with the threat facing us today. And what Maryland Gal needs to understand is I am not pointing at her and I am not pointing at the Jewish faith. I am pointing at a practice I believe to be wrong, which I still believe to be wrong.
yeah, plus you are automatically labeled a
nm
I see the left has labeled the right with yet another acronym....
Please provide your complete definition of "femocon"
I can only guess you mean feminist/conservative, but I really don't want to guess what's in your mind.
In the real world, it's a real word, for some kind of condenser for lenses in a camera. Look it up online.
No extremists like you have labeled him a jerk and racist
He hasn't proven anything. To liberals accusation is a verdict. Mr. Bennett has written a book of virtues. Why don't you hold your accusation/label until you've read that book..not that I expect you will. Anyone who knows Bennett and his work know he's not a racist. He was taken out of context and that was that. He stated a hypothetical situation and in the next breath said it would be morally reprehensible.
You may think us conservatives are so illiterate that we would just believe the baloney taken from context, but you are wrong.
Geez, that is the first time I'm been labeled a psychopath
Just because I reported something truthful? Ya better watch the news. I've been called a red neck, bible totin' gunslinger or whatever I was called during the election phase, but never a psychopath. I guess I'll have to add psychopath to my resume.
All I'm doing is asking a simple questionable reason for this to be happening. Don't need you're sarcasm.
Just like the criticism of anything liberal gets labeled Bush lover
Those in glass houses best not throw stones.
Or disagreeing with Bush gets you labeled a terrorist sympathizer?
The most absurd label to date.
People who want less gov't interference in their lives (CONSERVATIVES) are being labeled..sm
Those who attend the Tea Parties are being labeled "right wing extremists." As an organizer of a Tea Party in my town, I am going to wear that label with pride. Below is the quote from the Dept. of Homeland Security:
On the eve of the nationwide tax day Tea Parties, Barack Obama's DHS has issued a "rightwing" threat assessment to warn of the "current economic and political climate fueling resurgence in radicalization and recruitment" for "rightwing extremism." Who are these extremists? According to the report, adherants are rimarily "hate-oriented" or "antigovernment" but also include "individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
Personally, I think it is more than quite a coincidence that Obama's DHS is warning of the "rightwing" threat on the eve of the Tea Parties! This is a blatant attempt to taint the efforts of those who are standing for a patriotic, idea-based resistance.
Anything or anyone who does not toe the Obamarama line or has not drunk the kook-aid, is automatically considered a "right wing extremist."
There is a 10 page document put out by an office which is a branch of the Dept Homeland Security called "The Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division. Coordinated with the FBI.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Remember,Rome decayed from within.
Ok, off my soapbox.
It's interesting how radical liberals have labeled themselves "moderate"...
and anyone who is conservative has been labeled extreme. I really think that it depends on who you are. I feel that gay marriage is an extremely liberal thing to support, as do, apparently, the majority voters in California, yet the liberal left would have us believe that being against gay marriage is extreme and for it is moderate. Just something to think about.
I beg to differ on all three of the companies you labeled make crappy cars...
I have had 2 Ford's in my life, my husband has had one and they are most reliable cars ever..the same goes for Chrysler and GM...I happen to live in Ohio where we have Ford, Chrysler and GM within a 20-mile radius of my house...it is sad because it is really affecting the economy around here with them closing...I for one would never buy a foreign car...My Dad retired from Chrysler and my Grandfather retired from Ford...

OMG, no one has labeled conservatives "extremists." Stop listening to Rush's lies. sm
"Conservatives" were never mentioned, nor even alluded to. Wise up; you're being shepherded by a few vocal big names on the right to do their bidding, and they're feeding you a mountain of half-truths to accomplish that. Think for yourselves, for cripesake....
