Who are you to call the shots. I see the author of this material refers to himself as being a Christian. Gods Holy Word says that we are not to condemn our leaders, but to pray for them. That is the Christian thing to do. Do you not realize that God is in control and that in the end he will have his way. His ways are not our ways, nor are His thoughts, but they are so much higher. Why don't some of you bufoons run for office? Then you can have it your way! Sounds to me like a bunch of non-Christians here. God ordained the family as 1 man and 1 woman. His word is very explicit about this. He also ordains life. It is mentioned once in the Bible that Jesus rode a donkey. He pretty much walked everywhere he went. He never drove a vehicle, nor did he ordain the vehicle. God does not care about the price of gasoline at the pump. He could care less if it were $10/gallon. But, He does care about the traditional family and life. Obama supports abortion and homosexual marriage, as his voting record reflects. I have his voting record, as I am a member of National Write Your Congressman. You can say what you want to say, but his thinking on these 2 issues alone would keep me from not considering him. There have been over 40 million babies aborted since Roe vs Wade. The numbers killed in all wars since then do not even come close, not even in the same stratosphere. Jesus may not be for McCain, but he sure as heck wouldn't support Obama, cause he would not support abortion. I know this because I know Him. He's my Brother, Lord, and Savior. Oh, by the way, if you would study His Word, you would probably have similar views, since His Word is transforming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-2165613187774415552008-09-19T03:08:00.000-06:002008-09-19T03:08:00.000-06:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOb3cC2FVIgRon Paul...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOb3cC2FVIg<BR/>Ron Paul refuses to endorse the mad bomber for President.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740668904926516649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-84342700959494337922008-09-13T21:03:00.000-06:002008-09-13T21:03:00.000-06:00Good article here.http://kennysideshow.blogspot.co...Good article here.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://kennysideshow.blogspot.com/<BR/>She can blink, but she don't think<BR/> <BR/> "In true psychopath fashion, Sarah admits to being 'wired' in such a way that self-reflection has no role in such important, monumental decisions.

Turkey, in an attempt to avoid political tension with Russia, has not officially revealed its position regarding the plan, said Gruzya Online, a Russian-language internet site. Russia had previously announced its intention to station its own special forces at the Georgian ports. One of the responsibilities of US Special Forces in the region is to ensure the security of an oil pipeline passing through Georgia."<BR/><BR/>At this URL: <BR/><BR/>http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080908/wl_nm/georgia_ossetia_dc<BR/><BR/>We read:<BR/><BR/>"In contrast to Russia's conciliatory tone with the EU over Georgia, tensions with the United States flared on Monday* when Russia said it was sending warships for exercises in the Caribbean Sea, its biggest deployment there since the Cold War. Russia's Foreign Ministry said it was sending its nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great, as well as other warships and an anti-submarine aircraft, for joint exercises in November with U.S. foe Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea. A ministry spokesman said the exercises had nothing to do with tensions over Georgia, but they follow Russian complaints about U.S. warships deployed in the Black Sea, an area where Moscow has been the dominant naval power."<BR/><BR/>(*This of course follows Cheney's remarks about Russia to NATO leaders at the Villa D'Este on Lake Como on Saturday.

This is not a joke.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, Dick Cheney at a secret meeting in Italy, (which happened to be bugged and taped, and which is now in the hands of Moscow,) announced to several NATO leaders that the US is going to teach the Russians a lesson. He called the Russians savages and other foul names. He is deploying Special Forces to the port of Poti, to confront the Russians and drive them by force out of Georgia. He is actually hoping to provoke a war, and "once and for all" destroy Russia militarily, so that there will be no more Georgias, confident that the US is far superior in weaponry and will easily win.<BR/><BR/>God help us.<BR/><BR/>He also indicated (which the Russians knew already, but now they have it from the horse's mouth) that some in the Administration were fully aware before it happened of the coming brutal Georgian attack on the dissident civilians in Ossetia, (which they claimed as their own citizens,) and which precipitated this whole mess. Never mind that the USA hanged Saddam for attacking his own dissident citizens - with nerve gas supplied by the USA.<BR/><BR/>The desk warriors in the Administration never in their wildest dreams believed the Russians would respond in Georgia. After 18 years of pushing Russia around, and Russia exhibiting endless patience, which the US took for timidity, they thought they could do it again.<BR/><BR/>The Russians are not a timid people. Please read the book "Stalingrad." It will give you a better appreciation of their character than the movie, which was dolled up with romantic interest for public consumption. Almost a million Russians, and half a million Germans, died in that battle, fought over approximately five square miles of territory.<BR/><BR/>Having been taken by complete surprise by the sudden awakening of the Russian Bear from its 18-year hibernation, Cheney is not content. He now wants to kick this angry bear in the balls to teach it a lesson.<BR/><BR/>God save us.<BR/><BR/>Cheney is a madman, and Bush is a peevish, small-minded and easily led little despot. Weak people like Bush always over-compensate by being belligerent and stubborn, while people confident of their strength, like Putin, are patient and calm.<BR/><BR/>Cheney is also an old man, with God knows how many heart operations behind him, and does not seem to care if he takes 100 million Americans to the grave with him. Of course, he and his family will always be safe in their "undisclosed location." <BR/><BR/>Having miscalculated once, over the expected Russian response to Georgia, he is now determined to miscalculate again, believing the US can fight a real shooting war with Russia and win. He is probably calculating the Russians will never use nuclear weapons. I too do not think they would, but I do think the US itself would use them, when it faces defeat at the hands of the Russians in a conventional war. And then the Four Horsemen and all the Biblical horrors of the end times will be loosed upon the world. <BR/><BR/>(You may be certain, one person to rejoice will be Sarah Palin, as she will take it as the imminence of the Second Coming. Sorry, Miss Palin, Jesus is not coming back here. The Second Coming will be when 1,000 million people die in the aftermath of a nuclear war and go see him in Heaven.)<BR/><BR/>First, Cheney thinks Europe will fight alongside the USA. Sorry. They will not. The destruction of the last war is still too fresh in their minds. They will stand aside, NATO be damned, and take no part. If attacked conventionally by Russia, they will immediately sue for a negotiated peace.<BR/><BR/>Second, he thinks this will be a conventional war. Such wishful miscalculations and blithe fantasies (such as the Americans being greeted with a rain of flowers in Iraq - a war that was supposed to be over in 6 weeks) are the stuff of nightmares for the rest of us. There is no way a shooting war between the USA and Russia would NOT escalate into a nuclear exchange. <BR/><BR/>The USA said as much to India and Pakistan, the last time they were preparing to fight a war several years ago: We told them each, "Back off. Your war will never remain conventional - you are facing the nuclear destruction of both your countries." And we were right.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, the Russian population is spread out over 6,000 miles of Asia. Besides Moscow and St. Petersburg, there are no cities to compare with New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta, Mobile, Orlando, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Madison, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Portland.....do you get my point, regarding the availability of targets on each side?<BR/><BR/>How anyone can contemplate with serenity a war between two nuclear giants such as the US and Russia is beyond my comprehension. This man Cheney is utterly mad, insane, out of touch with the world the rest of us live in.<BR/><BR/>God bless us all.<BR/><BR/>Yours sincerely,<BR/>Lemuel Gulliver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-13256601605987985752008-09-07T14:27:00.000-06:002008-09-07T14:27:00.000-06:00To Anonymous @ 8:49 pm:Yes, I AM a liberal, not ju...To Anonymous @ 8:49 pm:<BR/><BR/>Yes, I AM a liberal, not just a card-carrying one, but a dyed-in-the-wool (do you know what the origin of that expression is? - probably not) proud liberal, who bemoans the liberal abandonment of that term, under assault from the neo-fascist Repugnican propaganda machine, for the silly term "Progressive."<BR/><BR/>And your making fun of the name Gulliver means less to me than your silly little opinions.

McCain may be losing brain cells, but Palin's circuitry is haywire. <BR/><BR/>The vapid vamp, the pit bull with lipstick, the barracuda, is only out for self-interest. Her rise to power with NO experience, except back-stabbing, book burning. A backwoods "good ole boy" mentality and lifestyle, under the glam. <BR/><BR/>What does she want for America needs to be rephrased, "What does she want for ALASKA!"<BR/><BR/>Answer: ((((OIL)))).<BR/><BR/>Her history shows no regard for the environment (Alaska's federally protected lands) and wildlife (wolves, grizzly bears, polar bears, whales). And I might add...ALL ANIMALS! Hey, take a look at the walls, her wardrobe, her couch throw! Omg! <BR/><BR/>She kills and butchers. Is strongly affiliated with the International Safari Hunt Club that joined her in suing GW Bush to take polar bears off the endangered list.<BR/><BR/>All for OIL and her very disordered brain. And here I am not being sarcastic. It is obvious she has clinical personality disorder(s). <BR/><BR/>Please. After so many years of a corrupt government and the "killing fields," please, some sanity in the Oval Office. A young United States Senator with intelligence and integrity, Obama. A seasoned and respected United States Senator, Biden.<BR/><BR/>Remember Young President Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs? He carefully analyzed the action to take, or NOT, and this was done in conference with his highly-educated, experienced "brain think tank.<BR/><BR/>Remember 9/11? Bush sat in a elementary school classroom for at least half an hour after learning the FIRST plane had hit the Twin Towers. No mobilization of U.S. forces at what a reasoned man would think was a great possibility of the beginning of an all-out, full-attack on the United States. <BR/><BR/>His reaction..."delayed?" I think not. WAR on Irag, institued by lies. Lies!<BR/><BR/>But maybe we were fortunate here, for if it were President Palin, the red hot mama would have pushed that red hot button. Then what? We all fried and vaporized like Hiroshima.<BR/><BR/>And there is no doubt in my mind that if McCain is elected, Palin will one day be Commander-in-Chief. <BR/><BR/>McCain is 72 years-old. Has a history of deadly skin cancer: melanoma. Although the full truth is not coming out, it is reported he does have a "mildly" advanced tumor on his face. Melanoma is a cancer that easily spreads to the internal organs. And with advanced age, increasingly more difficult to treat and stop progression. And although I honor and admire his courage and dedication to his country, he is campaigning solely on his laurels as a POW. <BR/><BR/>So the 2008 Presidential ticket is: Barack Obama (D) and Sarah Palin (R). <BR/><BR/>In no way will I not vote this November. NOTHING will keep me from that ballot box. I vote reason, sanity and humanity. I vote Democrat.<BR/><BR/>The alternative is a a return to the Dark Ages.

What the Russians have found in Georgia in the way of intelligence, codes, technical equipment, operational plans and so on was beyond price to them. But Lone Ranger Bush and his Tonto McCain are not content to slink off to skulk under the porch like the yellow curs that they are. They are determined to find someone's leg to bite.<BR/><BR/>(Bear with me, this is relevant to your blog.)<BR/><BR/>Well, Pat Buchanan (you probably know of him) says in part here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/distant_drums_at_sarahs_party/<BR/><BR/>the following:<BR/><BR/>==================================<BR/>"Arnaud de Borchgrave reports that Israel, having supplied Mikheil Saakashvili’s army with weapons and training prior to his invasion of South Ossetia, had hoped to use Georgian airfields to fly strikes against Iran. The Russians are said to be furious and considering new military aid to Syria. <BR/><BR/>"Now one reads of Dutch intelligence agents, who had infiltrated Iran’s nuclear program to sabotage it, being withdrawn, as the Dutch believe a U.S. strike on Iran may be imminent. <BR/><BR/>"Vice President Cheney is in Tbilisi promising $1 billion in new aid, as Prime Minister Putin of Russia is asking why, if this aid is humanitarian, it is being brought into the Black Sea in U.S. warships."<BR/>===================================<BR/><BR/>Dear Will, I can tell you this also: My source has told me that Mr. Putin has been biding his time these eight years, knowing that eventually George Bush will be gone from the halls of power in America, and expecting that sanity would return. He has been looking forward hopefully to dealing with Obama, who is intelligent and flexible.<BR/><BR/>However, if McCain and Sarah Palin are elected, his tolerance of American stupidity (He was astonished when Bush ran his boat, with Putin in it, onto a sandbar that stood at least 2 feet above the water - he regards Bush as a clownish buffoon,) will rapidly dwindle and vanish. Russia is tired of America attempting to steal Russia's resources, funding Russia's enemies, throwing its weight around, starting wars, assassinating heads of state, killing a United Nations Secretary General, attempting to kill the Pope, killing the sitting President of India, the President of Chile, and its own sitting President Kennedy, and a vast list of vile and bloody actions over decades, and with its vast money calling all the sheep-nations of Europe to heel.<BR/><BR/>He likes the American people, but if the American people are so incomprehensibly stupid as to elect McCain, after suffering eight years of Bush, he is going to write us off as beyond hope of dealing with in a civilized manner. The gloves will come off and the patience will end. What does this mean?<BR/><BR/>Russia does not have our sophisticated military complex, but that does not matter. Our Army has been utterly ruined by Bush in a needless war in Iraq. We can barely find another 5,000 troops to deploy. The Russian Army of 640,000 is fresh and ready to fight. Russia now has vastly more operational tanks, and better ones besides, than we do. We have literally square miles of ruined tanks and equipment sitting in Texas awaiting repair, which will take at least 12 years. We still have an intact Navy and Air Force. Alone in the world, America has 12 aircraft carrier groups.<BR/><BR/>But the Russians have developed shore-to-ship missiles, 27 feet long, capable of flying at Mach 5 - almost a mile per second, and which are programmable with the profile of a target, such as an aircraft carrier. This missile will ignore all the other ships and home in on the aircraft carrier, and also, for the last 50 miles it will zig-zag and take evasive action. There is nothing - at all - in the US arsenal to counter it. And it is deployed in numbers, with Russians manning them, in the mountains of Iran on the east shore of the Persian Gulf.<BR/><BR/>And Bush is preparing to send one-third of the United States Navy to deploy in the Persian Gulf. The Russians have indicated to my source they are flabbergasted that anyone could be so monumentally stupid. But if he cannot even pilot a small Chris Craft, how can Bush command the world's biggest Navy?<BR/><BR/>The Russians also have at least a dozen operational nuclear submarines, each of which can sit on the seabed off our continental shelf for months at a time, and in the event of war, they can deliver several hundred nuclear warheads on American cities within 5-10 minutes. No anti-missile-missile deployed in Poland or Czech Republic or Estonia will do the slightest good.<BR/><BR/>Because the United States has had great success attacking Grenada, Panama, and Iraq (at least the first time,) we have developed a vast hubris, and think we are so powerful nobody can resist us. Sorry to disillusion us all, but Russia is not Grenada.<BR/><BR/>You keep posting articles about belligerent and piggish police, federal agents, and other authority figures in this society. Well, they are a reflection of all of us. Rational discussion is foreign to the American character. All we know is to destroy anyone who does not see exactly eye to eye with us and submit docilely to our overbearing and arrogant bullying. We are all of us the world's State Trooper, Will. This country is more feared around the world for its warmongering potential than North Korea or Iran. <BR/><BR/>What I said above about Sarah Palin was only partly in jest. Yes, I cracked jokes about Miss Palin, but this is serious. It is life and death. Those fools among Democrats who are pissed that Hillary lost, and are preparing to stay home and not vote, or vote McCain because he has picked a vapid bimbo as his VP, are risking their own lives and those of their children. It is like you go to a restaurant and order sirloin, only to be told, "No sirloin. You have a choice: Hamburger or fried shit." So you say, "Well, I won't ever eat hamburger." Okay, then, jackass, you get the fried shit. Enjoy. I hope you gag on it, right before your ass goes up in nuclear flame. Or, if you are from Texas, "nucular".<BR/><BR/>I already read someone else - I do not recall where - wondering if Sarah Palin is the candidate in the movie "The Dead Zone." Here's the bad news, folks: Yes, she is. All that Momma and applie pie and bouncing babies masks a reality that is belligerent, stupid, provincial, utterly certain of its own righteousness, ignorant, alcoholic, bullying, and given to shooting first and asking questions later.<BR/><BR/>I sent tbrnews.org photos of Sarah Palin's family, which they are putting up tonight. You should go look at them tomorrow, and put them up for your readers to see too. This is soon to be the First Family of America.<BR/><BR/>McCain is on his way out. If melanoma does not get him, Alzheimer's will. If he wins, Sarah Palin will be the President of the United States within two years, commanding the world's most expensive military machine and 10,000 nuclear warheads. She cannot even keep her own family out of trouble - what will she do with that kind of power?<BR/><BR/>On August 26, Nikolai Sokov, senior research associate at James Martin Center for Non-proliferation Studies at Monterey Institute of International Studies, writes in Asia Times Online: "It is time to seriously contemplate World War III. The most important elements are already in place."<BR/><BR/>No shit, children. This is our destiny staring us in the face this November 4, 2008. The last time America faced a decision this momentous was July 4, 1776.<BR/><BR/>Sweet dreams to us all,<BR/>Lemuel Gulliver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-89580312698665520952008-09-05T22:16:00.000-06:002008-09-05T22:16:00.000-06:00Check out this Radio show on Sarah Palin.

He responded with a laundry list of policies. I then asked him why his definition never once mentioned the words "individual", "constitution", "freedom", or "liberty". He declined to answer. That pretty much sums up the state of the conservative movement. It's authoritarian nationalism coated with a thin veneer of "morning in America" sentimentalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-73805287715959770592008-09-05T16:43:00.000-06:002008-09-05T16:43:00.000-06:00All I can say is 'Wow'.
