Democrats - Whenever you finally succeed in removing all things Christian from the public square, education, Court houses, government buildings, Memorial monuments in respect to former Presidents with scripture engraved on them, from grave stones in Soldier Memorial Cemeteries,.......

What will you do if and when you criminalize the bible, How will you teach your children about what is right; and what is wrong, where will they get their Morals; about how to live a decent and clean life?

What do you base your morals on?

Did you ever think about peoples souls?

How can chaos not result from a society without God?

Theoretically speaking, I was curious what crimes an American could be charged with if they took their victim to a foreign country, one without an extradition treaty with the United States, killed them and left the body there, and then came back home to the US?

To keep it clear, lets say the murder was not premeditated and all aspects of the crime took place in that foreign country.

i work in surrey at the moment and own a house in mansfield. the people who i rent the house to have gone on holiday. i came back to do an inspection on the place and to my horror a 6 foot high fence has been erected along the entire length of the boundary line between the two houses, thus, blocking off the access to the back yard for my car. the fact that the house has/had off street parking and a functional garage was a major selling point and i fear i may have lost value on the house.
so do i go to the council or go to my solicitor. should i confront my neighbour directly? any input would be much appreciated.

Mine Owner Rips Media, Liberals

August 7, 2007






RUSH: Cookie worked fast. We have these two sound bites, and the owner of the Murray Energy Corporation, the owner of the mine where the six miners are missing. I had gotten a heads-up that this guy launched against the media today for misreporting what's happening out there by name and that he also started attacking the stupidity of energy legislation in this country. His name is Robert Murray, chairman of Murray Energy Corp. He held a press conference and explained what was going on in the rescue efforts. He started getting questions about things. These are two sound bites from the press conference.

MURRAY: Without coal to manufacture our electricity, our products will not compete in the global marketplace against foreign countries because our manufacturers depend on coal for low-cost electricity, and people on fixed incomes will not be able to pay foyer electric bills. And every one of these global warming bills that has been introduced in Congress today will eliminate the coal industry and increase your electric rates four to five fold. So we are an essential industry.

RUSH: Now, you might be saying, "Why the hell is he talk about this when they got six miners down there that were trapped?" Because he was asked about it, because he was asked, "What the hell are you in this business for anyway?" That was not an exact question, but it was something like, "Why do we have these mines open? They're so dangerous, and coal is destroying the planet and coal's this and coal's that." He fired right back at them, and of course this guy is a corporate interest, so he can't be trusted, according to the left. These reporters had to be asking some of the most clichéd, stupid, uninformed, closed-mind questions. I have to tell you something. He's right. I have to tell you a little story. On one these guy golf trips, and I go on a bunch of them during the summer. The first one was in the middle of June. I went up to a friend of mine's place, I'm not going to mention where because his town will get mobbed with people wanting to find out where I was, and he'll get hassled. But it was in Connecticut. We took his boat. He's got a pretty nice boat. He took his boat over to Fisher's Island and we played golf over there. From Fisher's Island we went up to Newport to see another friend. We were going to play golf there the next day. As we pull out of the harbor with my friend lives, there's this giant ship.

I'm not on the water much, so, I see things like I see tankers and stuff flying over them, like when I went into Dubai to negotiate the ports deal before I went into Afghanistan, but there was this huge cargo ship, and there were a bunch of smaller ships loading off of it. It was off-loading onto those smaller ships, and they were headed somewhere. I said, "What is that?" My friend said, "It's a coal delivery." He said, "Look over there," and he pointed, and there was this giant power plant in Connecticut, and those of you who live there now know where I'm talking about. It has to be fed every day. It's providing electricity. This guy is exactly right. The amount of coal that that cargo ship had to hold would boggle your mind. These are things that most people never see. You just go in the room, you flip the switch and the lights come on, but you don't know how it happens, and this guy is operating a mine along with other people to bring coal up -- it's a dangerous, risky job -- and you've got the global warming people trying to put it out of business. He's right. If you do that, you're going to have to have some other fuel for the power plants to fire their electricity with, and it is going to cost a tremendous amount of money. Here's the next bite. He was just watching the coverage of the disaster, and he said this.

MURRAY: They know nothing about the natural disaster that occurred here. They know nothing about the damage in the mine, and the circumstances surrounding the trapped miners. I caution the media to very much question the veracity of these sources and their motivations. I particularly cite Mr. Seth Borenstein of the Associated Press for particularly bad reporting, and the Fox News network, on what has occurred here. Rather than utilizing the truthful statements that you heard here, Mr. Borenstein chose to use statements from Mrs. McAteer that were totally false and have nothing to do with or have any understanding of what's happened here. And this morning, Fox News network was at it also. I hope you report that.

RUSH: Done, Mr. Murray.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, even better is something I left out of the story about that giant ship out there in the Long Island Sound servicing the power plant. That coal was from overseas! It was not American. That was foreign coal, if you will. I love this Murray guy, because finally somebody is promoting the concept of continual access to sources of energy, for the necessity of this country to continue to grow. I love this guy, already.

Bush's approval rating is at 26% now. That's the third lowest for a US president. Second place is Richard Nixon at 23%. In first is Harry Truman at 22%.

And, yes, I'm well aware of the low approval rating of the Democratic Congress.They suck too, for not having any balls. I'm asking about Bush, though.

It won't reach zero, as long as there's corporate executives and their families making billions off the war on terror.

Here is the deal: my mom and I go to the same general practitioner, I've only been seeing the doctor for a couple of years (as opposed to my mom who has been there much longer). I am now 18. When my mom goes to see the doctor, she and the doctor talk about me (and my health issues, including my use of marijuana). Now both she and my doctor are "telling" me that I need to go in for regular urine tests to test for THC. I have told them that I don't intend to stop using marijuana anytime in the immediate future. I know the health/legal risks associated with marijuana. My parents and my doctor have made me do this before; I took a break from smoking for a while just to please them. But I don't intend on stopping this time. What can my doctor do? Is she allowed to be discussing this with my parents even though I am NOT a minor anymore? To me this seems to be a slippery slope concerning the ethics of doctor patient confidentiality.

... of cowardly acts in a "pre-existant" state? And that their black skin is a curse from God?

Mitt Romney as a member in good standing of the Mormon Church believes:

"The official church "doctrine" prior to 1978 was blacks are an inherrently sinful, inferrior race unworthy of the priesthood and temple blessings."

"Church leaders were always explicit in the link between people of African descent and the sin of Cain."

http://provopulse.com/home/?q=node/1379

"Think of the Negro, cursed as to the Priesthood.... This Negro, who, in the pre-existence lived the type of life which justified the Lord in sending him to the earth in the lineage of Cain with a black skin, and possibly being born in darkest Africa — if that Negro is willing when he hears the gospel to accept it, he may have many of the blessings of the gospel."

Other churches have been racist but the Mormon Church continues to believe that blacks are born with prior guilt.

I have been taking care of my grandmother since 2005, and have been getting paid by IHSS (In Home Supportive Services) in the State of California. But recently (around April of this year), she's been diagnosed with cancer in the pancreas, and she's been goin' back and forth from the hospital to the nursing home. She's currently stationed at a nursing home (hopefully on a temporary basis) and I visit her everyday to carry out my daily chores (meal preparation, laundry, cleaning her dentures, keeping her company, etc.) before, in-between, and after school - assuming that I may still be eligible for IHSS payments. It's now August, and I'm apprehensive towards my eligibility with IHSS. I've been attempting to contact social services to no avail, and now I'm just worried. I'm a full-time student on overload, and I'm stressed. What can I do, and how do I tackle my situation? Do I have to pay back the payments I've been receiving since April, and/or do I just stop getting paid altogether?

No, and there are a number of reasons why. People some people don't choose to be drug addicts, they (like homos) are born drug addicts because of their parents or sumthin. Drug addicts won't hurt you. They just sit at home doing and its not their fault. They aint bothering you or doing crimes, yet they are put in prison with all these murdurers, robbers, criminals, child abusers, and all these bad people and that is NOT fair.
