Michael Vick gets sentenced to 23 months for abusing and killing innocent animals, and this is too much time, yet they don't want soldiers who rape and murder little Iraqi girls to even go to trial?

So much for the sanctity of human life...

Why is it that black liberal churches can endorse a particular candidate and not have their tax exempt status taken away but when a conservative church even smells like they are endorsing a candidate they are rushed to the IRS harassement?
Why is it that OPRA can go and preach to a congregation solely to endorse Obama and yet my church is threatened with lawsuits and IRS interrogation when we just pass out a piece of literature stating what all the candidates stand for.

In the State of Massachusets you wouldn't get 23 Month if you murdered a Human Being. What a country we live in where dogs have more rights then humans.

Is it more important to you to follow your heart or to win? What makes you look better: your own actions and deeds, or your ridicule of those of your opponents?

Don't you think there could be more of this sort of thing if we cut and run, like so many demonrats are urging?

when the facts don't fall your way?

For example, cons think supply side economics leads to faster growth than keynesian economics. The facts show otherwise.

=================

HERE'S WHAT I DID:
I got the real GDP stats from the Bureau of Economic Analyses. I took the percent increase over 4 year intervals. I then ranked them from best to worst. Out of (((18))) 4 year intervals, the supply siders Reagan and Bush Jr ranked 8th, 12th, and 16th.


1 FDR (40') 74.69%
2 FDR (32') 34.62%
3 LBJ (64') 21.81%
4 TRUMAN (48') 21.00%
5 JFK (60') 19.86%
6 FDR (36') 19.32%
7 CLINTON (96')17.87%
8 REAGAN (84') 15.98%
9 CARTER (76') 13.67%
10 CLINTON (92')13.53%
11 IKE (52') 13.45%
12 REAGAN (80') 12.63%
13 NIXON (68') 12.38%
14 IKE (56') 10.91%
15 FORD (72') 10.62%
16 BUSH JR (00')9.03%
17 BUSH SR (88')8.81%

After all, they do need another party to get elected if they could not make the cut in GOPland.

I had the weirdest and wildest conversation with a Ron Paul supporter last week . Amongst other crazy notions , she said that it's clear that the media doesn't want him to win and therefore "EVERY media outlet is lying when they post poll results which show he has single-digit support" . Many on this site have made that very same claim . So I asked her. . . . "What if , AFTER the initial primaries, Ron Paul only garners a single-digit VOTING support ? What then ? Will you then admit that it is you who have been fooled and lied to ?"

Cmon Ron Paul people , wake-up .

To Ron Paul Supporters -- Will You Admit That There Is No Media Conspiracy AFTER Paul Only Gets Minimal Primary Votes ?. . . If Not , Then Please Enlighten Us To What Type Of 'Logic' You'll Apply Then ?

I would be worried about the Democratic field. The problem with ALL the Democratic Candidates is that they won't be able to pull any Independents and both parties have always had to rely on the the Independent swing to get elected.
They are all far too polarizing.
How would they sway an independent like me?

It's not the first time the Bible God has done it. He's done it and he's ordered his followers to do it as well.
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/children.html
=========

Dr. Park Dietz said Deanna Laney believed God ordered her to kill her children last Mother’s Day weekend. “She struggled over whether to obey God or to selfishly keep her children,” Dietz testified.

Laney, a 39-year-old stay-at-home mother who homeschooled her children, has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to charges of capital murder and serious injury to a child in the deaths of 8-year-old Joshua and 6-year-old Luke and severe injury to then-14-month-old Aaron.

Dietz said that Laney, who is deeply religious, had a series of delusions on the day of the killings. He said she saw Aaron with a spear, then throwing a rock, then squeezing a frog and believed God was suggesting she should either stab, stone or strangle her children.

All the polls show Obama trouncing the Republican candidates in a general election by much wider margins than Hillary would.

All they seem to see is color when they look at him.

I recently heard this as a suggestion from a prominate Psychiatrist.

Let's face it, Reagan would have been suffering from the early stages of alzheimers at some time in his presidency; Clinton from some obsessive compulsive behavior; George W. from some form of alcohol induced mental deficiencies, perhaps.

In many professions or positions containing a high level of stress demands upon the person performing their duties, psychological testing is routine.

Why not for the most important office in the land!

Why do Dems coddle criminals and do little to protect innocent citizens?

Don't Dems care about victims?

Anybody else recognize the inherent problem here? THAT is not a god of goodness or benevolence. It is a god of revenge.
And does anything else other than something of pure goodness and benevolence warrant worship?
