Pat Roberts just said that the cease fire in Lebanon is pointless…POINTLESS!!!At Rev. Roberts’ Zionist intentions come to light. One question: how the hell did this nutjob become a respected minister?
Its the “special brownies” they serve at the meetings… ;-)
Remember, your not responsible for your actions when stoned…
Let’s not forget this little doozy.http://mediamatters.org/items/200508220006
Pat Robertson laments Mideast cease-fireAugust 14, 2006 15:51 EDT
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — The Reverend Pat Robertson, who prayed for victory last week with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, contends that the cease-fire with Hezbollah has rendered the entire bloody conflict pointless.
Back from Israel to resume hosting his “700 Club” broadcast, Robertson quoted a Bible passage from the prophet Isaiah: “We were with child. We writhed in pain, but we gave birth to wind.”
“In other words,” he said, “nothing came out of this at all. ‘We writhed in pain,’ but nothing was born from it.”
Suggesting that the invasion of Lebanon failed to achieve its objective, Robertson said, “Israel went in, but what have they done? Is the word of Isaiah true? — ‘We writhed in pain but we gave birth to wind’ — I’m afraid so.”

Pat Robertson logic:peace bad, war good.Religion of Peace!Religion of Peace!
DRAGONFORCE RULES!!!

Grace Moberly, you left the cheese sitting out on the counter again.
Will: In your first post above in this thread, you meant to say “Pat Robertson,” the preacher, not Pat Roberts, the U.S. Senator.
It’s always the nutjobs that get the press, like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other rightwing wackos, Pat Robertson find so much joy in hate and intolerance. He would love it if Israel would kill every last Palestinian. I’m always amused when he takes anything from the bible and interpets it to validate his twisted thinking.
I nominate him for asshole of the new millinium.
He must have a different bible.Mine says do not kill and love your neighbor.
Why so much hate against Israelis. Is that the new Democratic talking point?
Joe- I can take or leave Israel. If you really think they are such a good friend, google the U.S.S Liberty.
Will: Please tell us exactly what was accomplished. Even though Hezbollah agreed to disarm, they will not. So rather than living in relative safety, it is back to the status quo where war can break out at anytime (and it will). So the ceasefire actually costs lives in the long run.
No, if you choose to go down that road, you have to accomplish the goal. Otherwise the lives lost have been wasted.
OUTIE, we’ve heard this reasoning before:
“We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”….General Westmoreland(in VietNam)
Up is down and black is white?
Hezbollah has not agreed to disarm nor should they. Hezbollah’s work is caring for the needs of the needy in refugee camps. The EU knows that and refuses to call them a “terrorist” organisation as our ridiculus Secretary of States has tried to blackmail into doing by withholding foreign aid { even the food to the needy }.
The United States under Bush has become an ugly country.
NUKE ‘EM ALL! LET GOD SORT IT OUT!
Brilliant
The cease fire has thrown a monkey wrench into Iran’s plans according to the book I am reading. Iran want to ignite a arab/Isreal war with all Arab countries united against Israel and the U.S. of course.
I am not sure just how much truth there is in the book “The secret history of the Iraq war” If the author is telling the truth there were much better reasons to go after Iraq the Bush said. But so far if the book is the truth. BIG MISTAKE going after Iraq. Iran is who deserves to be warred against and is in league with Syria to bring about a all out war with the U.S. But using every other Arab country as a pawn to that end.
FYI, on the subject of the invasion. The Russians before the invasion had already started a plan to have a coup of many of Saddam higher officers. They had started to move support to the coup when they made a mistake. They told us! Wanting to allow the U.S. to secure our assets there and in the region. They told the CIA who informed Bush of the plan. Bush had the CIA tell Egyptian intelligence knowing that they would tell Saddam. Once Russia learned of this betrayal they scrapped the mission. Bush did not want anyone else to be the one that would bring Saddam down.
over a full year before the invasion it seems we and several other had been waging a secret war in Iraq. Daily bombing under the excuse of the “no fly zone” Military missions to spy and commit acts of sabotage.Also in a bit of the “cart before the horse” Yes Saddam was in contact with a number of terrorist groups, but only after it became clear that the U.S. was going to invade. Before that he had little contact and Iraqis intelligence only in passing planned anything that actually involved us. Saddam got play much like Iran played Bush’s desire to go after Saddam.
Also all the time we were planning to invade, the Iranians were moving long range missiles and rockets intoSouthern Lebanon. Through Hezbollah but manned by Iranians, with the thought of dragging Israel into a all out war that would suck in the other Arab countries. BTW the book was written before the current conflict.
If you get a chance you might want to check this book out, it is ever if not true a interesting read.
There are so many Democrats that are Jewish. I guess this isn’t the Party of Boxer, Shumur, and Feinstein anymore.
It’s now Howard Deans and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Party now.
Wow! What a change! Must be Bush’s fault.
Plame lawyer plans to force Cheney, Rove testimony16 Aug 2006 00:06:34 GMTSource: Reuters
By Gina Keating
LOS ANGELES, Aug 15 (Reuters) – A lawyer plans to use a legal precedent that allowed President Bill Clinton to be sued while in office to force Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove to testify in a lawsuit brought by former CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband.
California attorney Joseph Cotchett said he will ask a federal court to order Cheney, his ex-chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Rove to testify in depositions about their role in disclosing her classified status.
The civil lawsuit accuses them and others of conspiring to publicly identify Plame as a CIA agent to punish her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for writing in an op-ed piece that the Bush administration twisted intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the Iraq war.
Cotchett, who took over as trial counsel in Plame’s case on Tuesday, said legal precedent for whether Cheney and the others could claim legal immunity in the case comes, in part, from Paula Jones’ sexual harassment case against Clinton.
In 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a unanimous ruling that neither Clinton “or any other official has an immunity that extends beyond the scope of any action taken in an official capacity.”

C’mon, GMC, explain to us all how a Democratic president can get sued by a Republican Vice-president can’t.
I’m sure you can do it!
correction “BUT a Republican can’t”
Low blow-Joe.Did you have a point?Or just some stupid innuendo that the dems are allied with Iran?That’s about the dumbest thing on the blog so far this morning.
Good post Capn.Scooter and Shotgun Dick are goin’ down!!
No! Just Ahmadinejad sound just like Dean on 60 minutes.
You guys got duped by his propaganda. But that’s expected!
Gee, I guess brother ayatollah terry fox just COULDNT be bothered to pay his property taxes? A god fearing man like him doing a little more civil disobedience like his Operation Rescue Buddies?
He just REFUSES to pay his taxes? We already knew he was special under god’s law, but under civil law as well?
I guess when you are the supreme ayatollah of blurring the lines between church and state, it is EASY to forget that you owe $1238.64 in back property taxes.
heheheh
I see, on the Sedgewick County Treasurer’s website, that he hasnt paid his taxes for 2004 ($434.18) or for 2005($804.46).
So, do we now know the reason he extored an entire year’s worth of severance pay from his “church”?
He needed the money?
heheheheh ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where are all you right wing conservatives who hate paying your taxes? Do you think it is ok for taliban terry to just IGNORE his property taxes? Too high? Just dont pay them!
Laws are, well, just for the little people. And gays. But for the rest of the most self righteous citizens? “Eh…not so much?”
He didnt get ENOUGH tax breaks at the church? So he just doesnt pay his property taxes?
Or did he get too many tax breaks and draw the attention of the IRS?
heheheheheheheheheh
He does indeed, as kansassam pointed out yesterday, have GREAT difficulty rendering unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s.
Do you think he might have as much trouble rendering unto god what is god’s?
heheheh.
The devil wears a bracelet that says “what would terry, joe and phred do?”
I saw a very very old woman waking down a road covered with litter while crying. She had lost here family, her village and her house. Thank God Hezbollah will be there for her and see to her well being.
Joe – I have many friends who are of German, Italian and Japenese ancestry. That does not mean I would have to support Hitler, Mussolini or Hirohito.
Heh, yup, I saw that too, KSFG.
A man had two sons. One said, yes father I will obey you, but then he didn’t. The other said, no father, I won’t obey you, but then he did as the father commanded.
Which one was better?
IOKIYAR!!!
KFG..
I have seriously been considering applying for tax exempt status as a non-profit organization. The sole purpose is because that would be 7% or so less sales tax on items we buy to distribute on the streets. 7% more food and items we could provide for the same money.In your opinion, would that be an appropriate thing to do, or is that ripping off Caesar?
You know what else is bizarre about the Plame lawsuit.
Rove has hired a lawyer that represented CLINTON when he was impeached.
But . . . but . . . but . . . I thought Clinton DESERVED to get impeached and everything about him is evil.
Except for his winning attorney apparently.
KSSam–
It’s not a rip-off if it’s legal.
What the Very Reverend Pastor Fox did is illegal however.
Capn..
Perception is just as important as legality… being legal doesn’t always make it RIGHT!
(i.e. Marriage Amendment)
“tax exempt status as a non-profit organization”
Sam, nothing wrong with that. The tax breaks for 501(c)3’s are there for a purpose.
But in order to get those tax breaks you must refrain from certain overt political activities. That rule is for ALL of those groups. Not just the religious ones.
Fox is perhaps in trouble with the IRS because he didnt play by the rules. (He is above the law, remember?) He perhaps did too much politicing and too little preaching to avoid the IRS scrutiny? I wonder if we will ever know the truth given the code of silence amongst tax criminals.
Racketeering anyone? RICO?
And I dont know that the church or its member hands are clean either. I wonder why they felt compelled to pay off the ayatollah. Did he know too much about THEM? Just like they know too much about him?
Enquiring minds want to know….
So the moral of the story sam, is that if you use your 501(c)3 for political purposes, profit, or personal financial gain, the tax breaks are cut off.
If you are using your group to do charity, you have nothing to worry about. If you are using it for political purposes but calling it a church….
….you just might get a visit from some “observers” who might have the IRS toll free number…..
Well, I disagree with that.
Perception ISN’T as important as legality. I mean, maybe it is your fundie Christian circles, but not in my world.
Although that does explain the traction that people like the Swift Boaters and End Timers have with you people.
The “perception,” the effect is more important than the reality.
Cpn. Am -
I don’t have to explain what MAY be the difference. The quote you cited contains what may be the distinguisher between the two suits.
Can you see it? I knew you could.
We’ll see what happens as the suit winds it way through the system.
ksfarmgrrl
I think all churches should be “audited” to see what they are preaching… If politics are brought up, they should have their exemption yanked right then and there.
Gosh Tony, you dont mean like an arm of the Catholic church being the largest contributor $100,000) to the campaign in favor of making hate a kansas konstitutional value do ya?
Were they just afraid all their priests would leave the church and get married to their child lovers if gay marriage were legal?
heheheh. Sorry. They asked for that!
Or maybe you mean the catholic church in Hill City that, a few months ago, passed around PETITIONS going to congresscritters. The good congregants were to sign the petitions DURING THE SERVICE and then the priest or the chief political director, or someone, was going to send them to washington.
You mean THOSE things should be audited?
jesus wept
Okay, great, GMC.
So if the judge agrees that illegal revenge against the wife of a whistleblower is not an official duty of a sitting Vice-president, then you won’t have any problem with the lawsuit going forward.
Thanks for clarifying that.

KSSam wrote–
“These [the death of infants] are terrible things you mention, but not evil. They are caused by the degeneration of the world since it fell under the curse of sin.”
Okay, let’s run with that, KSSam. If terrible birth defects are not a choice or a result of anything more specific than “the degeneration of the world,” then why couldn’t people being born gay be just part of that same process?
In other words, you say “homosexuality is a choice, because God would never create a gay person.” Yet by that logic, you’d have to say that God CREATES born dead babies, that God CREATES babies born deaf, He CREATES babies born with their brains outside their bodies, He CREATES babies with no immune systems that die horribly from septacimia.
You can’t have it both ways–either God CREATES horrible lives and deaths for innocent babies (and also CREATES homosexuals) OR He isn’t directly responsible for these horrible tragedies nor is He responsible for whether someone is born gay.
Your zeal to condemn homosexuality has pinned you on the horns of a dilemma you can’t explain.

KFG…
we are not a church.. and nobody gets paid.. so I feel pretty OK with the idea.
Capn..
you missed my point.. sorry you think “we people” are all alike.. that is just your “perception”.
…and might I add…
WHERE IS CINDY DUCKETT?
Why is she not here posting to tell us about the “MOTIVATION” church attendees get every sunday morning?
heheh. I think she just confessed that churches are little more than republican political action committees that dont have to play by the same rules that legit organizations do.
I mean, how else could one define such ballot box “motivation”?
heheheh. HOW DID THAT WORK FOR YA CINDY???????????????????????????
Cap’n…I have NEVER said that homosexuality is just a choice.Your entire post is baseless….
I guess the sunday morning before election day the political speeches, er, I mean the sermons, werent sufficiently “motivational”.
Why else would the kansas taliban have LOST control of the kansas board of evangelicals?
Oh sts, whistle, whistle, whistle, here girl…. here girl…
wanna address that little defeat for the taliban?
I thought not. Let’s just talk about toady todd.
There’s a group of Kansas women that travels the state, attending church services to see if politics are being preached. If they see this is happening, they report it to the IRS.
At least someone is doing something.
Okay, so you agree that homosexuality has a biological-genetic basis and one does not choose to be gay.
And by extension, we should not as a society discriminate against gays because they can no more “choose” to be gay than I chose to be white, straight or to understand my native language.
“we are not a church.. and nobody gets paid.. so I feel pretty OK with the idea.”
Sam dear, I hope you didnt miss the point of my rant :)
It isnt whether or not you are a church or anyone is getting paid that is the question. Both are allowed by the IRS.
What is NOT ALLOWED by the IRS is for 501(c)3’s to engage in certain overt political activities.
So the question for your group is:
are you going to be political?
IF yes, then you may have trouble with the IRS. IF no, then you have nothing to worry about.
Will your group be political?
That’s what I thought Joe.Come on you’re better than that.That’s as bad as playing the Nazi card.I’m not calling spurious George a Nazi for trying to be a socialist dictator!!Should I do that in return for your low blow?Why no!I would never call spurious George a Nazi.I would never even bring up the fact that a lot of what he’s done in office can easily be compared to what Hitler did.Never. Hitler, Nazi, never.And may I just say this concerning spurious George’s mis-steps:Bill Clinton!Bill Clinton!
Damn farmgirl, I’m in rare form today.What do you think?
…and if you ARE going to be political, you should organize as a PAC under the 501(c)4 rules, not the (c)3 rules.
Almost all pacs are organized like that. If you do so, you may not get all the tax breaks and you WILL have to report your activities to both the Kansas Ethics Commission and the IRS. There are also limits on donations and gifts both to and from c4’s.
THAT is why churches hide behind their (c)3 status. To gain unfair advantage over the pac’s that play by the rules.
Sound familiar? The terry, joe and fred tricks? they cant just rely on GOD to help them, they have to game the laws and the political reporting system too. Such christian values.
I think you are better than that sam. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Dont disappoint me.
Hey Tracy are you gonna contact your friend Cindy and see where she is?
Cpn Am -
Basically, yes. However, you are assuming facts not in evidence as to the merits. Let’s let the court’s try the case, how ’bout?
“Damn farmgirl, I’m in rare form today.What do you think?”
Indeed, I bow today to the KING 0′ SNARK!
The queen is dead! Long live the king!
And might I add…”i’m not worthy….”
You go boy!
Julie, I think she admires me from afar.
That would be acceptable, since I’m probably old enough to be her daddy.Cindy:Who’s your daddy?Who’s your daddy?
hee hee hee hee
I am jealous julie that she doesnt send ME mash notes.
Sigh. Alas. I guess she is a straight girl. sigh.
although (ewg here) I do have a collection of toaster ovens that prove challenges such as her being straight can be overcome….
heheheh
Cinnamon toast anyone? Get it while it’s hot….
Alright, I’ll be king for a day, but you wait in the car in case I need some muscle here!
Cpn Am -
Basicly. Jones’ suit against Clinton was clearly NOT related to his acts as president. It remains to be seen where the alleged facts here fall. I suspect the courts will broadly apply the immunity principle; don’t be surprised if the suit is dismissed on those grounds. You will, of course, claim the usual conspiracy/collusion BS should that happen.
As to the merits, you are assuming facts not in evidence. Let’s let the courts try the case, how ’bout?
And sorry about the double post.
Of course you know I am joking here. I would lever lower my moral compass that way. I am in a loving and monogamous relationship. I would never do such a thing…
…at least not while the most wonderful woman in the world is asleep in the other room…..
heheheheheheheh. Hi honey!!!!

that was worth saying twice….]
WTF is wrong with this blog software?
Okay, KansasSam,
I got you confused with TM who wrote–
“God did not create you as homosexuals and lesbians, you have CHOSEN by your own FREE WILL to live this lifestyle.”
Still, you did call it “sin.”
As pointed out, if it can be shown that a predisposition for gay-ness is biological-genetic (as I believe it is from personal experience of interacting with a number of gay folks and the new research findings), then calling it “sin” and using the law to discriminate against gays is totally unjustified.
That’s not the only reason it is legally untenable, but it is probably the strongest argument.
KFG..Only thing political we might do is shame the city fathers into actually DOING something for the street people, rather than just forming a committee and patting each other on the back..
No.. I hate politics.
Yeah I want to know that too.Yours posted twice.Sometimes when I get potty-mouth,my posts will dissapear altogether!Damned blog software!
I dont go back and do a vanity stroll through my own posts, but if YOURS get deleted, mine must be burning in the cyberspace incinerator of HELL by now!
heheheheh
!@#$%^&*&^%$@#&&****!
THERE!
Capn..
I have always said that homosexuality is not a sin of “being”… only certain activities are sinful.. but no more so than say lying or cheating. I agree that the Amendment is unjustified and discriminatory..
If you do a bone dig.. my position has remained the same.
Oh My! KFG! GeoJane needs to wash out your mouth with soap!!!
heheheheh
soap wasnt exactly what I had in mind for my mouth…..
let’s see if THAT stands!
Damn girl. You are soooo popular.Even the open threads turn into one big debate about being g-a-y.It must be a really important thing to be gay.
If GeoJane is up there say hi to her for me and MM please.
KFG,
I dont just say the Catholics, but all the churches, Fox’s church, Phelps’s church, hell, even those little neighborhood churches… Remember, that’s how Fox got his start…
All Churches need to stay out of the political arena. Period. One thing i have noticed, at least here in Wichita, the west side catholic churches have started straying away from anything that has to do with politics…
The church should have no opinion on outside issues.
Tracy: Do you mean churches should give no moral guidance to it’s members on societal issues????
I think that is one of the main reasons they exist.
Hehehe I believe outlander would be speaking of “voter guides” passed around in tax exempt churches, or would it be that
MOTIVATION
cindy was speaking of?
heheh. Marching orders is more like it.
….and I STILL see how it worked for the kansas taliban and the board of evangelicals.
Now for some entertainment…
Go to http://www.google.com and type in the word ‘failure.’ Check out the first listing.
“…rather than just forming a committee and patting each other on the back.”
This very point has always been my biggest complaint, i.e. governmental bodies form committees wherein people who don’t know that much about the problem can sit around discussing what they don’t really care that much about and ultimately claim they are addressing the problem.
I have been on a suicide prevention comittee where inaction facilitates people dying. And I was almost as popular as a hair in a biscut for pointing out the problems with the approach described above by Sam.
And yeah, Capn, Sam is a rare fundie (I don’t think he’d object if I call him that) who at times seems to almost have secular humanist views (he probably WILL object to that – I mean it as a compliment, however).
Kansassam:
Have you read this Malcolm Gladwell “New Yorker” article:http://www.gladwell.com/2006/2006_02_13_a_murray.html ?
In it Gladwell indicates that homelessness amongst the vast majority of its victims is a very short term problem — a matter of days. Whereas the vast majority of management of homelessness resources go to a small group who are chonically homeless. These folks have multiple problems – psychiatric illness, drug/alcohol addictions, chronic health problems, etc.
The approach Gladwell recommends is giving this small group of people homes – wherein they are monitored by staff. He contends this would be a better utilization of resources than the current method of giving emergency short-term assistance to people who have chronic problems. He makes a convincing case. I have wondered if any of what he describes is anything like what you encounter in your work?
Thanks for posting…

Sorry about the double post… this POS software is acting up today…
Steven..
Yes, I have read the article and it is very accurate in it’s descriptions of life on the street. In fact, there is a very dear man in Wichita right now that I would equate to Murray. He has been out there 26 years and is dying of cancer. He is very special.
Housing these people is definately the correct solution, and I dream of having the funding necessary to implement a program like the one in New York:
http://www.pathwaystohousing.org/index.html
I do intend to pass this kind of information on to the new Committee, and I am hopeful, but I seriously doubt that anything this progressive will come to Wichita. After all.. we need money to put a dome over the tennis courts so the affluent can play their games. Sorry, I’m a bit cynical…..
The Eagle did a story regarding politicians lying. The very next day Sebellius comes out with a political ad about her leadership in the school financing debate. OMG, she should get the award for Best Lying Politician.
This ad was so sickening, I just about puked!
YOU DID PUKE.Kinda looks like writing though.Strange phenomena……….
outie, you’re partly correct.It is moral teaching.
It should not endorse candidates.
Red State Rabble:
Wednesday, August 16, 2006Sebelius: Teach Science in Science Class”I’ve always believed that science should be taught in science classrooms,” Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said following a rally Tuesday morning for Topeka public school employees, according to Chris Moon of the Topeka Capitol Journal.
“I think religion is taught in religion classes and humanities classes and science is taught in science classes,” Sebelius added.
Sebelius’ right-wing Republican opponent in the November election, Emporia Sen. Jim Barnett, apparently, is still pushing a failed talking point — that the science standards don’t mention either creationism or intelligent design.
“If creationism and intelligent design aren’t in there, let’s be factual about that.”
Right-wing Republicans like Barnett have successfully used code words to get their message across to the ranks so long that they seem to be in denial about the fact that we all have the decoder ring now.

I agree with andyee2, you need to have a widescreen video player. It would improve viewing for everyone. http://zadul.servik.com
hello YouTube Team, I like the different featured videos by countries but I cannot navigate if I switch to Japanese, Polish, etc. I would like to keep English language (or my mother tongue) even if I change the country. Any possibility of this in the future? Thank you.

We wanted to clear up a misconception about the nine localized sites we launched on June 19: the content has not been “broken down” by region. All of your videos are available to everyone, no matter which site you set as your default. So even if you choose a particular country as your preference, the content available to you is still the same.
Because of your work, I work with former soviet scientists to design and share online training schedules for athletes throughout the world. People are people regardless of where they are located; with dreams and the inner quest for knowledge. 20 years ago this would have been impossible. Even though the geopolitics would have still gone the way they had, the net has allowed us to be more than non combatants..we have become friends.
Word of Mouth is how people find my 300 classic entertainment variety videos- Youtube/ Google should pay more attention to producer’s who present quality entertainment and help to promote their channel or someday they may well find a better place to showcase their productions- Just a thought.. joelsamuelpresents
I’m pretty sure you know very well that the www is the greatest technological creation in modern history. Although I suppose somebody else would have invented it earlier or later if you hadn’t, I just wanted to say thank you for having done such incredible pioneer work on a sector that has changed the lives of us all.
