Politics and religion.

[QUOTE=RICHARD;2058432] Women fight all the time about equal rights, pay, glass ceilings and job opportunties.

So why all the cattiness about SP's voice, her background, her eyes and family? Sometimes I think that the world needs more women in leader positions all across the planet, but you sabotage your own sister's chances.[QUOTE]


Don't tell me that you've actually bought into the "sisterhood" thing!?

I wear my flag on my sleeve and in my heart, I expect no less from some stupid 'brother'.

A well though out politician would have covered all the bases. I would expect him to lie to me about every little detail.

Stoop?
IDK, just as long as you don't get suckered into genuflecting at the foot of some dopey politician, you can do anything you want.

I was thinking about politics and religion, on their own and together.

Of course, we know of the community activists and governors and how they are being plucked from the bible and set in modern day Babylon.

The Left has this notion that BO is being crucified by the "governor".


Ponitus Pilate ended up washing his hands in the matter because he really didn't want to crucify Jesus Christ. PP was technically a prefect anyway.

IT was the Jews who were looking for their pound of flesh and moved PP into sentencing JC to death...

I saw Susan Sarandon aping the idea that BO is a communtiy activist and
Palin is a governor during a film clip.

Again, this shows how dumb people are when they make statements without researching the facts. LOOK IT UP.

The same people who are slamming the GOP for bringing religion into the presidential race have elevated their candidate to the position of a Jesus-like community activist and rightly so. JC was born, disappeared for 30 years then popped up on the scene, a relatively unknown entity, who rallied he masses with miracles and prayers. BO was born, showed up a few years later as a ..............a..........er.........Senator?

I have yet to see any modern day activist make people walk, give them their sight back or do the loaves and fishes thing at a rally.

As a matter of fact I tend to look at anyone with a promise of change with a rather jaundiced eye. And we all know they problems that Jesus had with the money changers at the temple.

This post is heavy into the Catholic religion so if you have any questions post them. I'll answer to the best of my ability..

------------------

Politics and religion can be discussed at any time with anyone, as long as they remain calm and don't take opinions as a personal slam. An opposing opinion will not make me think any less of a person. As a matter of fact, they make me think much harder about things.

I have shot myself in the foot many times and have no problem telling the 'doctor' how stupid I am.

Going back to the women in politics.

I was thinking about how many voters stood behind a woman as the madame secreatary of the "House of Representin'" and the single digit approval rating she managed to sink Congress into.

No one will rail against the job she is doing-ah, the bimbette from Cah Lee Fuh Nee ah- and the Dems will look at any critique of her or the job she is doing as an anti-feminist rant and a slam against any and all women.

It is fun to watch people call a woman political candidate names, lie about her past and try to edit her public persona into something else.

You've seen the black clad woman pedaling the bike, with Toto in her basket, around the halls of Congress. SP ain't no Dorothy, But she don't run a room full of flying monkeys.


That's friggin scary.

I saw a retraction from ABC and Charles Gibson about the Palin interview.
In part?

"The ABC News department wishes to apologize on behalf of Charles Gibson for his inaccurate definition of the Bush Doctorin'.

He He was merely inquiring about Palin's grooming and dipilatory practices.
Gibson was reprimanded for his stupidity and will no longer be participating in any political news stories. He will be allowed to cover and interview trees and plants in future stories."

Hummm, may we have a link to that? Can't find that anywhere Richard.

Time for theater of the mind.

Close your eyes and think.....Bush-Doctorin'. Bush Doctoring......Not Doctrine, DOCTORING!!!!

Got it?

I had to laugh about the Sara Palin email site getting hacked,

A woman news 'presenter' wanted to know if any of SP's emails were of the kind that would be harmful to the vice prez cnadidate.

Now, the same people who are so adamant about the government looking at THEIR EMAILS are having a field day looking into the SP inbox.

If that had happened to them they would be SCREAMING about privacy and looking toward the same government (the one they want to stay out of their emails) to enact some laws to keep their postings under wraps.

How dumb do you want to be?

You want to exchange chain emails, exchange pics of your ugly family, dirty racist jokes and stories to your friends about how you hate your SO, think the person that delivers the office mail is cute and the video clip of the stripper that pulls down a chest of drawers on her head.


You want the freedom to send it all across the planet but don't want anyone to laugh at the wrestling midget video you watch once a week? Then don't bother hitting the send button.

If it happens to you, you will cry for the sky to meet the earth and for a LAW TO BE PASSED to keep your boring Inbox outta sight.

but you sabotage your own sister's chances

So you think women are so sheep-like they should support a woman BECAUSE she is a woman.

Do I not remember you fussing (as best I could understand it) about blacks supporting Obama just because he is black?

But women should support Palin just because she is a woman?

In my career I have stood up a few times against putting a woman (including me) in a position because of gender. When a woman fails it is all to easy for people to say..."See? I told you a woman couldn't do it!" And it makes it that much harder for the next woman. People should get positions because they are the best qualified.

I too would like to see a woman as president of the United States - or even vice-president. However, not just any woman. And not Ms. Palin.

Apparently so. He's also not alone in thinking that way. It's
really sad isn't it?

Ahhhhhh....

1.) He just comes out and says they are wealth redistributing socialists.

2.) They are using the same tactics they decry. Goebbels and Goering both talk about using "patriotic" overtones to get the masses to do what they want.

3.) Do they really not understand the idea as to how the economy works? Can't they see what happens if you tax the wealthy and large companies more? or do they just not care, because they are looking for their moral equivilant of war. The thing they need to keep our eyes off the ball and looking instead at the evil <insert whatever here> that is to blame for our woes.

Of course, in THEIR context its a good thing, right?

If this was not so serious, it would be funny.

FWIW, I weep and yet rejoice when I see Biblical Prophecy being fulfilled.

On a similar note... Is Mrs. Clinton ignorant of history, or does she just see this as an opportunity for more government control of our lives?

http://wcbstv.com/politics/hillary.c....2.823496.html

The stock market crashed in 1929. But the Great Depression did not get going full tilt until the government got involved in 1933.

Those that do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.

I can just imagine our 'leaders' in Washington rejoicing about the economy. What better way to get he sheep more in line than the economy going to crap? The perfect "moral equivilant of war."
