In my opinion, the “Part D prescription drug” program is the biggest government fraud yet to be perpetrated on senior citizens of America. Thank you Wal-Mart and now Dillons for simplfying prescription drug savings for everybody regardless of age.
This should have been on the Wal-Mart thread above.
Looks like Turkey has launched a land invasion into Iraq, involving thosands of troops. Guess they got tired of waiting on Iraq to address the insurgent PPk.
Oh boy… now what happens if we shoot at some of the Turkish troops??
An example of that quality free health care in the Great Britain…yeah…
Woman Injected With Cleaning Fluid During Childbirth to Get Nearly $10 Million
“A U.K. woman who was accidentally injected with cleaning fluid during childbirth has been awarded nearly $10 million, it is reported by the Daily Mail.
Angelique Sutcliffe, 47, suffered severe neurological damage that has left her in a wheelchair since receiving the botched epidural injection just before the birth of her daughter seven years ago, according to the report.
Sutcliffe received the epidural because she was having a painful time giving birth to her daughter Abigail at the University Hospital in Aintree, Liverpool.
The needle, however, was contaminated with chlorhexidine — a fluid used as a hospital antiseptic, according to the report.
Sutcliffe suffered a severe headache, confusion, restlessness and was seen thrashing around on her bed shortly after, the Daily Mail wrote.
Suftcliffe’s fight for compensation reached an appeals court, which awarded her 5 million pounds or about $9.8 million this week, it is reported.”

George W Bush Presidential Library
The George W Bush Presidential Library is now in the planning stages. You’ll want to be one of the first to make a contribution to this great man’s legacy
The Library will include:
* The Hurricane Katrina Room, which is still under construction.
* The Alberto Gonzales Room, where you can’t remember anything.
* The Texas Air National Guard Room, where you don’t have to even show up.
* The Walter Reed Hospital Room, where they don’t let you in.
* The Guantanamo Bay Room, where they don’t let you out.
* The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room (Which no one has been able to find).
* The Iraq War Room. After you complete your first tour, they make you to go back for second, third, fourth, and sometimes fifth tours.
* The Dick Cheney Room, in the famous undisclosed location, complete with shooting gallery.
* Plans also include: The K-Street Project Gift Shop – Where you can buy (or just steal) an election.
* The Airport Men’s Room, where you can meet some of your favorite Republican Senators
* To highlight the President’s accomplishments, the museum will have an electron microscope to help you locate them.
* Last, but not least, there will be an entire floor devoted to a 7/8 scale model of the President’s ego
State of the Union Address and Ground Hog Day
This is a year when both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur in the same week.
And as it has been pointed out, “It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.”
Hmmm, looks like plagiarism to me Chas – taking credit where none is deserved?
I told you so – spending other peoples money is just too easy for “Her Royal Thighness.”

“Nearly $100,000 went for party platters and groceries before the Iowa caucuses, even though the partying mood evaporated quickly. Rooms at the Bellagio luxury hotel in Las Vegas consumed more than $25,000; the Four Seasons, another $5,000. And top consultants collected about $5 million in January, a month of crucial expenses and tough fund-raising.” MSNBC

Of course, some have suspected that Anonymous was another Pen Name for Francis Bacon, possibly the greatest essayist ever, but that theory was unfortunately thwarted, when other scholars suggested Bacon could possibly have been the real Shakespeare; thus making it nearly impossible, time wise, for Bacon to have also been the widely traveled Greek pretender, Anonymous.
:-D
Awww gee, aint it just so sad that you have a link to something as mundane as that??? Hey, I got it from Anonymous… which is why I provided NO citation for it… Dont start on your crap this early!! Geez…
If it is so mundane, why did you post it?
Actually, you are WRONG on that… Your jgilliam got the thing the same way I did… in an Anonymous Email!! LOL
Doesn’t matter Chas, you yanked it from some Website and made it look like you were the author. Anonymous, source and date are easy enough to add.
I guess you cant read… I got it from the same place as the jgilliam person on that web site you linked… In an Anonymous Email!! Geez, get over yourself!!
Then you should have put Anonymous as the author and stated you got it in an email. Taking credit for something that isn’t yours is classically Leftist Liberal mantra.
Anybody hear about the guy who went outside yesterday morning to get his paper, and a big gust of wind blew his robe off of him??

Well, then, you better write to that web site you linked to, and inform jgilliam about doing that, since all that was listed there was that the poster, jgilliam, got it in an email… James, it aint a lib/con issue… So you wake up flaming?? Dont they have pills for that at the VA??? LOL Geez!!!

If Al-Quida really wants to shake things up, they’ll kill a buch of Kurds and make it look like the Turks did it.

Uh huh. Okay. And I have some oceanfront property in Kansas you might be interested in.
It is a sad state of affairs when companies like Chrysler buy out the good paying middle class jobs and replace them witl working poor wages. More people will have no choice except to shop at wal-mart.
Less nobles and more serfs is the direction we’re heading.
Yea Fleet… got a problem with that??
Phantom, I got to thinking… IF the car manufacturers would follow the example of “tax cuts increase revenue” then they should all drop their car prices, with the sure and certain knowledge that more volume will increase their profit margins!! LOL
If they sell below costs, the volume will surely make up the difference on the bottom line!
Well, see, thats what I was thinking too!!
And surely they would want to follow in their government’s footsteps of economic wisdom…
We seem to be standing in the crosshairs of a new era – where the power has to large extent shifted from the people to the government. To secure its dominance, the proponents of a large, liberal, increasingly socialist government are using every available means to take away individual freedom and responsibility, and therefore our dignity and self-respect, by the use of entitlement programs, the redistribution of wealth and earnings, and the taking of private property from the people.
Ours is rapidly becoming a radically different country than the one the Constitution established and the one I grew up in admiring and feeling so privileged to be born into.
One day, when what is passing is but a page in history, those reading will wonder what we were thinking to have let this happen.
Think long and carefully what the politicians are saying and promising. Are they offering freedom with equal opportunity, or equal outcomes where eventually no one will have much of anything. When they promise too much they will also take too much.
Max, you still dont have the right definition of Socialism… even using different names!! Go look it up, old man!!
Actually RD, Kansas is almost all ocean front property as it used to be under an ocean millions of years ago. check your local Geology book for details.
I am gonna say it one more time — Socialism does NOT demand that ALL have an equal share in the society!! Socialism is NOT a class-less Society… That would be a rough definition of Communism…
Bye all — appointment time now!! Later!! Have a great Griday!!
Ummm Friday that is!! LOL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;
“Socialism refers to a broad array of ideologies and political movements with the goal of a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community. This control may be either direct—exercised through popular collectives such as workers’ councils—or indirect—exercised on behalf of the people by the state. As an economic system, socialism is often characterized by state, worker, or community ownership of the means of production, goals which have been attributed to, and claimed by, a number of political parties and governments throughout history.”
I think I pretty well nailed it down.
Sounds a whole lot better than what we got.
Well, that is unless you are already a ward of the State. Such a person would be inclined to rail against broader socialism.
To protect their own “turf”.
I think I pretty well nailed him.
Actually RD, Kansas is almost all ocean front property as it used to be under an ocean millions of years ago. check your local Geology book for details.
No sh!it, Sherlock?
“Sounds a whole lot better than what we got.”
Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it. JR, socialism has failed everywhere it has been attempted, and for obvious reasons: it is contrary to the inherent nature of human beings. The more we go there, the less wealth there will be for anyone.
Of course, perhaps that is the goal – to make everyone equally poor. Remembering, of course, that some are more equal than others.
Some things never change: “Wherever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face there will be a well-heeled Western liberal to explain that the face does, after all, enjoy free health care and 100 percent literacy.”
Derbyshire was right in 2000: http://www.nationalreview.com/01may00/derbyshireprint050100.html
And CNN, today, follows in lockstep: http://www.babalublog.com/archives/007467.html
Well, Max, if thats the definition you want to run with, then stick with it… Cause that one doesnt talk about ALL people having the SAME income, and the SAME anything!! Cause, that isnst what Socialism is all about!!
At least you made an attempt at a definition…
It appears that Sen. McCain may have a more pressing and immediate problem apart from the NY Times article being discussed on another thread.
It seems that he wishes to withdraw from public financing of his campaign. FEC has indicated that there exists two problems with his request: one, the lack of a quorum, due to vacancies not filled on the FEC; two, a confusing (to me) loan agreement with a Bethesda, MD bank that involves the federal funding in some way.
As I understand the linked piece, there is a limit of $54 million that can be spent before the nomination, if a candidate accepts public funding; Sen. McCain has spent $49 million to date, and is raising money to spend more.
Contained in the linked piece are the responses of the campaign to the FEC, and some observations concerning the two questions from individuals not currently connected to either side of the discussion.

==============================
ROFL Hank!
That has to be the number one comment sizing up Chas ever written on this blog. :)
Well, see Hank, YOU are the one with the problem… I have stated NUMEROUS times that I am a Christian… There is nothing more to be said about that… I AM A CHRISTIAN… It doesnt matter if you agree with my denominational views or not… That doesnt change the FACT that I am a Christian…
Max, on the other hand, has a real problem with defining the kind of Socialism he is always ranting against — which in reality is NOT Socialism at all!!
GET IT, Dog man???
Regular — Hank —
PLEASE knock off your Trash posting related to my Profession… I have asked you that before… NOW, I am asking you that with some degree of backup… Just knock off your CRAP about my life’s Profession… It is not necessary!! If it doesnt stop, other measures will be taken!!
Hank and his butt-buddy Regular take offense whenever anyone but they claim to be Christian.
You can only really be a Christian in CON-World if you are a conservative.
Forget all that “blessed are the peacemakers and the poor” crap.
They know the mind of God better than God Himself.

Oooh!

Shall we go through all of the BS ‘professions’ you’ve claimed to have?
I’ve never given you a hard time about your profession or your faith. Not once.
Bring it on reverend!
I was merely making the point that you’re a little hypocritical demanding kind of definition or explaination from anyone on thei BLOG when you refuse to even define what you think being a Christian means.
Is one a Christian if one ignores this?:
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Hmmm, I never would have guessed from his remarks….wow
That can’t be true…
Good morning Capn!
What exactly is your definition of ‘harassment’?
Let’s ssee if you can come up with definition that doesn’t describe the good reverend’s daily harangue demanding a definition of socialism from Max.

I have no sympathy for you whatsoever any more. Anyone with a lick of sense would realize that requesting “…YET AGAIN that they cease…” is exactly the sort of thing that guarantees that they will continue.
Regular: “Fake minister.”
Hank/Nathan: “Non-Christian.”
Chas.: “Stop it!!! I AM a Christian!!”
Regular: “Pagan.”
Chas.: “I SAID STOP IT!!!!!!!! I’m WARNING you!!!!!”
Rinse. Repeat.
Posted with the realization that I am totally wasting bandwidth on this. I think I am trying to interrupt a symbiotic relationship.
Is it just me, or are all the libs a little touchy today?
Short answer, Fleettwood:
Yes.
The Christian’s responsibility is to live righteously. It is not to judge the righteousness of the non-believer.
Romans 10:9
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Good point, KSAgn.
Are Jews and buddist and all the others condemned?
“No one comes to the Father except through me.””
I haven’t written :Fake Minister: ksassgnostic. Please point out in this thread where I wrote that.
Dear ksagnostic,
“Hank/Nathan: “Non-Christian.””
Neither the boy nor I have ever said Chas. wasn’t a Christian. Not once, not ever.
Before this thread I have never challenged Chas. once concerning his faith or his profession. Not once.
I merely wonder what someone that obviously has so many personal problems thinks the definition of a Christian is.
My characterization of him running from it like a roach is spot on.
The boy aint right. Instead of merely answering or ignoring my question, he threatens me. Oooh! Where do I hide?
“I haven’t written :Fake Minister: ksassgnostic. Please point out in this thread where I wrote that.”
Translation: “Notice meeeeeeeeeeee! Taaaaaaake the baaaaaaait!”
Re: Regular
DNFTT
Wow, this is so clever of you, Fleet.
“Are the Jews and Buddhists and all the other condemned?”
Good question.
Ask God.
It’s not the Christian believer’s right to abrogate unto himself the responsibilty that only God can do: “For I judge not by appearances, but I judge with right judgement.”
I asked God. He said they should wear asbestos.
“I merely wonder what someone that obviously has so many personal problems thinks the definition of a Christian is. ”
This assumes YOU know what the “definition of a Christian” is and live it yourself.
My take is you don’t. But that’s just me.

http://tamino.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/giss-ncdc-hadcru/
Here Hecky Hecky,
Heckler’s post at top of yesterdays open thread, at 6:13 AM — “Between 1940 and 2000, solar activity…” is supposed to be based on Usoskin’s 2003 paper.
But here is what Usoskin’s 2005 paper says (emphasis added)
http://www.mps.mpg.de/dokumente/publikationen/solanki/c153.pdf
“The last 30 years [of data] are not considered however. In this time the climate and solar data diverge strongly from each other.
…
Note that the most recent warming, since around 1975, has not been considered in the above correlations. During these last 30 years the solar total irradiance, solar UV irradiance and cosmic ray flux has not shown any significant secular trend, so that at least this most recent warming trend must have another source“
There goes cosmos with that average temperature thing. Average temperature is about as useful as teats on a boar.
The optimum temperature has never been established for one and the other reasons that temperatures vary widely throughout the planet due to regional conditions.
So cosmos, explain the usefulness of averaging the temperature of Nome, Alaska and the Gobi Desert. Submit your paper on your results for peer review.
“Neither the boy nor I have ever said Chas. wasn’t a Christian. Not once, not ever.”
Actually, your son has questioned Chas. about his Christianity. Hank, I am quite aware that you and your son both probably have a pretty restrictive definition of Christianity that is not held by some more liberal denominations like UCC/Disciples of Christ/etc. I personally find such distinctions more revealing about the people who make them than about the definition issue itself. I do not consider you or your son trolls (although I have other very strong differences with you, and I do think that both of you, particularly Nathan, are not above taunting someone, particularly someone like Chas. who alternates between his own taunting and posting over the top reactions to the taunts of others-which of course does nothing to calm the level of discourse down. A professional troll like Regular is something else entirely.).
Just to make it clear with regards to my post in contention, I was paraphrasing my perception of a discussion that has occurred repeatedly and boringly over and over here. The paraphrasing was somewhat snarky with regards to all concerned. Being snarky, I wish to make it clear that I do not claim to have directly quoted ANY of the participants in this discussion. Regular did not say “fake minister”, you did not say “non-Christian”, and Chas. did not say “I SAID STOP IT!!!!!!!! I’m WARNING you!!!!!”
That being said, I think my snarky response does capture the spirit of what has been going on. Regular DID essentially say “fake minister” when he agreed with ANTI’s “It can’t be true” (BTW, I don’t claim to know, but I do suspect ANTI of being a sock puppet. I could be wrong.). You indicated that Chas. runs from defining Christian (I’ll take it at your word that this is your first discussion with Chas. on this subject, but it sure isn’t the first time that your son Nathan has brought this up along the lines of “you say you are a Christian minister but do you believe…”). As for my paraphrasing of Chas., I really don’t think I am anywhere far from the mark there.
And to be clear, I think Chas. assumes the bulk of responsibility for the continuation of this sort of exchange, which is why my criticism was directed towards him.
Thank you for that demonstration of side-stepping rationalization ksagnostic.
Hank.
BTW, I won’t be offended if you call non-Christian even if you never actually said it to Chas.

“Anomalies and Absolute Temperatures
Our analysis concerns only temperature anomalies, not absolute temperature. Temperature anomalies are computed relative to the base period 1951-1980. The reason to work with anomalies, rather than absolute temperature is that absolute temperature varies markedly in short distances, while monthly or annual temperature anomalies are representative of a much larger region.
Indeed, we have shown (Hansen and Lebedeff, 1987) that temperature anomalies are strongly correlated out to distances of the order of 1000 km.”

You know as well as I do, that nothing I say to Regular will be of any concern to him/her/it… BUT… it is part of the Blog Archive… AND, it could come in handy…
Many countries listed with the best standards of living could be called socialist. Participating in a free market economy with representative governments they somehow force the “trickle down” theory to work with taxation designed to benefit society as well as capital. Other socialist countries do not as well but maybe there is a right mix of government intervention and hands off, for seems what works in one place is panned elsewhere. All economics, like politics is local. Names do not a system make.

Just out of curiosity, if Christians believe that they will have an Eternal Life of peace and joy in a world far better than this one, why do they take medicines and get vaccines?
Hey Clark, I very, very seldom take medicines and I haven’t been vacinated for anything since 1975. I want to go to heaven, just not today!
I would imagine buzz might be a more accurate term, even though you are a major ding a ling…
Soo. . .Chas.,
Out of curiosity just what beliefs are you ’standing up for’?
LOL

Chas, I was just a little shocked is all. I do not know what faith you practice. I just didn’t picture you as a Rev. in the classical sense. What ever your field you are in, you obviously have very strong beliefs other wise you would have never went in to the clergy. I can respect that, and find it admiriable, even if I have personal disagreements with you.
Hey Dad,
You might have missed it, but I have in the past very clearly said that I don’t think Chas is a Christian.
Actually, the more he posts and evades answering questions, the more I belive that he is blaspheming God.
On several occasions now he has indicated that he belives it is just fine to think God is a Golden Calf. He has also introduced a blessing to people on behalf of a Golden Calf and thought nothing wrong with that.
I don’t care if Chas calls himself a Christian or a purple polka dotted monster. It doesn’t make it any more the truth that he is either, simply because he declares it so.
RE: Nathan: 3:09pm
I will second that.
Hank – WAY off topic – what do you know about chocolate labs?
;)
WS Clark,
You said you were a Christian that still goes to a Christian church, you just don’t like calling yourself one because of people like me…
So why do you take vaccines and medications?
Hey Boy!
Well, I guess I owe the good reverend an apology. As you know I haven’t paid a lot of attention to your and Chas. exchanges.
Call me at work if you aren’t working tonight. You’re needed at City Arts.
Love,
Your pa
If you’re lurking some where Cahs., I apologize!
Chas,
Playing the typical liberal victim…
Nevermind the fact that you regularly make fun of me for my beliefs.
How many times have you mocked me for believing in a literal creation now? I have lost count.
I’ll 3rd Nathan’s 3:09 post and 2nd Hud’s 3:12 post.
Nathan, you have those posts from the other night? Chas ran away when he couldn’t answer our questions on this.
Chas wants to keep bringing up his religious views, then he CRIES when people question what he posts about his religious views AS IF we were personally attacking him.
What you bring up on a blog is fair game for open debate.
IF you don’t want to talk about it Chas, then stop bringing it up.
But at least the Democrats gained another vote.

Illegal Immigrant Charged With Homicide in Deadly Minnesota School Bus Crash
MINNEAPOLIS — A woman who authorities say is in the country illegally and using an alias was charged Friday with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide and two lesser charges in a school bus crash that killed four children.
Max,
Chas loves to cry about us constantly bringing it up.
Yet how many nights has he trown around that agnostic prayer and closed with a blessing which is obviously not Christian?
Sorry Chas, if you don’t like having your faith questioned, you shouldn’t bring it up like you do.
As I have said, I have nothing to hide. Feel free to ask me questions. I believe Christ has called us to go out into the world and spread his word. Not hide from questions like you do Chas.
You can say that faith is personal, but keeping your faith in Christ personal is not what we as Christians have been called to do.

Nathan,
Chas says goodbye several times every night, and closes with his blasphemous religious chant – like a possessed demon.
Then he freaks out when someone comments about his freaky demonic chants.
Agnostic prayer. BS. Pure attack on Christianity.
Chas attacks Christians and then CRIES when we speak out.
A phony preacher, and imposter supposedly teaching about Christ, yet he doesn’t believe. The Devil in Disguise can do great harm to those who might believe him.
Doesn’t sound like he has a huge following, fortunately. 1 service on Sunday and that’s it. Blogging against God the rest of the time.
Are you working tonight boy?
Yes Dad, heading out the door now….

Regular — Hank —
PLEASE knock off your Trash posting related to my Profession… I have asked you that before… NOW, I am asking you that with some degree of backup… Just knock off your CRAP about my life’s Profession… It is not necessary!! If it doesnt stop, other measures will be taken!!
————————————————-
Other measures?
Like a satanic spell?
Max,
I always love how when Chas wants to be taken seriously on something about faith he wears that profession of his like a badge of honor.
When it comes to answering questions about his supposed Lord and Savior… Christ…. he runs and hides and demands we don’t question his profession.
“You said you were a Christian that still goes to a Christian church, you just don’t like calling yourself one because of people like me…”
I realize that you are a bit thicker than your average barnyard animal, Nathan, but I HAVE already told you that I will not discuss my religious or spiritual beliefs with you.
End of story.
And I didn’t say that I was a Christian – I said I follow some of the teachings of Christ.
Nitwit.

Takes a little prodding into his thin skin to bring that demon out.
He’s like a split personality bi-polar type. Throw off that white robe and there’s a devil inside.
Some say that demon doesn’t exist.
I know better. I’ve chased one down before. Stared it down, and survived it.
They exist allright.
An Oklahoma legislative committee has approved a bill that would actually require abortion mills to comply with FDA safety restrictions, inadequate as they are, on the RU-486 abortion drug, and enforce a follow-up exam, even after the abortion mill has already collected the hard cash in advance. Failure to comply, if actually ever prosecuted, would result in a felony charge.
At least 13 mothers have been killed by RU-486, and hundreds more injured by serious complications, some life-threatening. RU-486, used in over 13% of America’s contract killings in abortion mills, is 10 times more dangerous to mothers than first-trimester surgical abortion, and in 10% of cases, a follow-up surgical abortion is required because of incomplete RU-486 abortion.

It appears that Henry Morgentaler, Canada’s most notorious criminal abortionist quack, the one man most responsible for essentially no laws at all restricting Canadian abortions since 1988, is ill and will die soon, perhaps even before being awarded the Order of Canada, the highest civilian honor.
Mr. Morgentaler will have his final reward, soon enough, though it will not be a medal.

“I should never have had an abortion. I see now I would have been a good mum. I told everyone I didn’t want to do it, even at the hospital. I was frightened, now it is too late. I died when my babies died. I want to be with my babies – they need me, no-one else does.”
. . . from the suicide note left by British mother Emma Beck, who hung herself after being coerced into the abortion of her twin babies by her boyfriend and by uncaring quacks
Jeez Max. Completely over the top much?
Chas.’s blessing is “like demonic chanting” and “a pure attack on Christianity”.
Except for the blatant Stormfront type racists who occasionally slime their way through here, this is the nastiest crap I have seen on this blog.
RU-486 — Morning after pill?
That isnt an abortion!
Parkay is the quack here!
I copletely disagree with most of what Chas has to say, but I find nothing wrong or demonic with his nightly “God Bless” sign off.

Hey Ben!
Sorry I missed your post! What with dodging demons and all!
I know nothing about chocolate labs!
Why?
I do know that you have to be very, very careful if you are thinking about buying a Lab. They are a popular breed and there are some bloodlines outh there that are not as desirable to won for various reasons.
http://www.thelabradorclub.com/
Might be adopting one – 11 months old. Hopefully not too ‘pure’ bred if you know what I mean.
Looking for a big playful critter to play with my grandkids.
Thanks for the link – we’ll check it out.

I’m not as young as I use to be, fingers aren’t working!
Good on ya Ben! Where are you getting him? Make sure he’s not too annoyed by kids! They’re good dogs.
By the way, RU-486 is not the morning after pill. It is used to kill a baby of up to 7 weeks gestation, usually, then to induce labor to expel the dead baby, so that the mother gets a good look at what she has done with her own hand.
RU-486 is manufactured in China, by a company being investigated for paralyzing hundreds of victims with another drug manufactured at another Chinese facility.
The morning-after pill, also called Plan B, is used to prevent implantation of a living fertilized human embryo in the mother’s uterus, causing its death. It can be used up to 72 hours after coitus, but is really only reliable up to about 36 hours or so after. Conception can take place within 24 hours after coitus, making the morning-after pill, also erroneously called emergency contraception, a true abortifacient.
Chas
“Many will call out My name Lord, Lord, but I will know them not.”
May God bless you whatever you think your god is. Sounds a little unChristian to me.
Christians think God is a person not a thing. Anti that might be what Max and Nathan are saying.
Chas constantly calls others names. Makes totally wrong statements and never, never admits to being wrong. Throwing the blame on all other bloggers. He can question Max’s perception of socialism but no one can question his perception of Christianity even though he throws it up constantly.
Are you beginning to get the picture?
I’ve rarely heard of a Minister of any faith call what they do a profession. I’ve heard it called their calling, service or duty, but never profession.
Sounds cold and dead ended.
It would seem to me, as an observer, that questions regarding socio/economic matters that have well researched definitions, and an individual’s religious beliefs are at total opposite ends. Religious beliefs vary from person to person, from place to place, from continent to continent.
Thus, if someone should post a religious belief different from someone else’s views, that should be quite normal. If such a person is put down, or belittled, IMHO that person will likely attack back at someone who would attack their beliefs.
Therefore, I cannot see why there is such a string of vitriolic posts against another poster who has differing view points.
If those views dont match yours, so what? That person is entitled to those beliefs! It seems terribly narrow minded of some here to attempt to belittle another person with differing interpretations of religious faith and/or experience.
I have never seen such a demented mess!
“Might be adopting one – 11 months old…”
Hank– Too old to train properly? Those are not small dogs. Gentle as can be, but could accidentlly knock things/kids over.
They would need some room.
“Some say that demon doesn’t exist.
I know better. I’ve chased one down before. Stared it down, and survived it.
They exist allright.”
“Huge demonic frogs eating dinosaur eggs story:”
THESE are some of the people who vote Republican.
Party of those a few fries short of a happy meal!
Please note: The poster identified as Clergy has not made any statements on this thread regarding religious beliefs. As I read the thread, the Clergy poster challenged another poster’s wrong use of the concept of socialism, and challenged a definition. For that, the Clergy poster was almost immediately attacked regarding his refusal to post details of his religious beliefs. From there, the thread has deteriorated drastically.
As an observer, and as a non-believer in any organized religion, I will also challenge the poster referred to as Max, and say that Max is using the term, socialism, in a wrong manner, for what Max is describing.
I also note that Max claims to have stared down a “demnon”. I somehow think that says more than a thousand words.
Good night all! And have a good weekend!
“If those views dont match yours, so what? That person is entitled to those beliefs!”
“Everyone is entitled to their beliefs.” That has always seemed a pretty weak response to me.
That is not and never has been in dispute.
We do like to cuss & discuss.
Perhaps if Chas wasn’t so judgmental of other posters Mr. ::, then we would accept what he does.
I’ve seen less personnel bias from a redneck prison gang, than I have from Chas.
personnel=personal
Poster KsGrm : Can you provide any examples of where this “Chas” poster has “thrown up” his perceptions of Christianity recently?
If not, perhaps you should re-phrase your post?
Poster Regular : I do not believe I addressed you on this thread. Why would you feel a need to address me? And can you show any examples of personal bias, that would be un-provoked by the poster you call “Chas”?
If what I have read on this thread today is any indication, I would think you are just simply wrong.
Poster Regular : I see you are just all full of assumptions.
Warning Will Robinson!
A troll wonking for Chas is on the open thread!
Warning! Warning!
I see you have your own set of rules here. So, when a poster says something you dont like, you attack the poster, rather than the substance of what has been posted. Interesting set of Blog rules.
I will merely state what I already posted: This is the most demented mess I have seen on any Blog in recent months. I do not think I shall return here. There is nothing worth staying here for.
Do have a nice weekend!

Yep,
You nailed him. Chas has a obsessive compulsion to answer. ::=.=Chas.
“So, when a poster says something you dont like, you attack the poster, rather than the substance of what has been posted. Interesting set of Blog rules.

Hey fleettwood,
Depends on what you’re training them for. Labs are a little goofy until they are older. I wouldn’t start training them seriously as a gun dog/retriever until they were at least a year old.
However, a lot of socialization occurs as a puppy. They are pretty much hard wired by 6 months. That is why I told Ben to chieck him out with kids before he gets too committed. At 11 months, what you see is what you get with his social skills.
Labs are generally pretty good with children, a little boistrous, the kid needs to be able to take a hit!
Big dogs like Labs leave too large of yard apples. :)
Yep Taz has a brain malfunction. Your post above clearly has to be pure fabrication. That quote you use is in no way an attack on a poster. It is, however a pretty accurate description of whats been going on here today… Try again, Troll Taz… You wont get your Troll Merit Badge with junk like that!!
“In 1951, the Socialist International was refounded by the European social democratic parties. It declared: “Communism has split the International Labour Movement and has set back the realisation of Socialism in many countries for decades… Communism falsely claims a share in the Socialist tradition. In fact it has distorted that tradition beyond recognition. It has built up a rigid theology which is incompatible with the critical spirit of Marxism.”"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
Why Chas :: Sugar where have you been hiding. Trying to catch someone talking about you. Didn’t happen did it. Just the truth which is always painful for you. Have a great night.
Nite nite wrinkles!! ooops Granny
Granny, you seriously wouldnt recognize truth if it reached out and bit you!!
Chas you really should watch calling others names. :: might still be here, just hanging around you know and see you as you really are.
I would hope that would be the case.
Nobody is calling anybody names… at least not right now!!
and chas pretends to be a minister? Yeah..right. I believe that like I believe in the Easter Bunny. In the past few decades of knowing clergy, I have never seen a member of the clergy so nasty, mean, juvenile and insulting.
Maybe a new kind of “church” where you get your ordination from a website?
I think it came out of a Cracker Jacks box. Chas for your info my name isn’t Granny.
“Perhaps if Chas wasn’t so judgmental of other posters”
Now THAT has to be, without question, the most hypocritical statement ever made on this blog or any other.
That is flat out ridiculous.
Damn.
WS I know Chas is a friend of yours but I will bet that even you see Chas for what he is. Constantly being the resident expert even when he is proven wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just an observation. Remember the SS question. He says others judge his religion but doesn’t have a problem with calling our faith narrow minded and selfish. He deserves what he gets. Him and :: and Sugar too.
For all you trolls, attackers and various other hypocrites……………………
Chas is an ordained minister in a mainstream Protestant church – all your whining and insults will do nothing to change that.
I know Chas’ full name, his church and his address – all of you naysayers are full of shit.
Gotta disagree with you WS. How about capn telling posters to shut up and not post about the Democratic primary, when he posts non-story about the Republican primary? How is that for total hypocrisy?
“WS I know Chas is a friend of yours but I will bet that even you see Chas for what he is.”
I have never met Chas, but I will forward him the respect a minister deserves, regardless of the fact that I do not share his faith.
“How is that for total hypocrisy?”
Without ANY doubt, McCreepy is the most JUDGMENTAL blogger that I have ever had the misfortune of coming across.
He makes Jerry Falwell look positively open-minded.
respect is earned…not awarded. his insults, lies and juvenile behavior do not garner respect. He attacks others rather than deal with content of the post, he perpetuates lies with absolutely no proof other than his own prejudices.
This is a member of the clergy? bs.
The wonking continues…
Now thats just plain funny, Clark!! Oh, and thanks… But, I dont think they will stop with the demeaning, and derisive posts.. even though they have no idea about what they speak..
WS I was told many years ago and raised my children with the same knowledge that you aren’t awarded respect – it is earned and if you ever lose it it is much harder to get back the second time around.
I have differences of opinions with you but am usually able to have a half way reasonable discussion with you. Chas starts the name calling even before he makes his feeble points and then with his mistakes are pointed out he starts the personal attacks.
If I attended a church with a pastor like him I would feel shame for others to know I went to that church or had a minister like that.
And by the way, Taz, McCreepy has a fascination with the testicles of another poster, yet calls us homophobic because we find it creepy.
That is your buddy, REGULAR.
Wow, you’re not Granny??? Perhaps Grandma would be more appropriate!!
Chas my name is Ksgrm. I have never asked you to call me anything else although you do it repeatedly. When you start to act like a minister who deserves respect then I predict you will start to be treated like one.
lack of humility appears to be the missing grain…
Grm — If you came to my Church I would hope that you would not come back! Our churches dont believe in judgmental attitudes… And FYI, you keep throwing up that SS thing… As I have said MANY times… I was NOT wrong… Vaughn even told you people that… I did not have ALL of the information… Why?? Because I didnt know a change had been made… Did my advice hurt anybody?? NO!! Why?? Because I ALWAYS tell people to check with their Social Security agents for full answers… THAT is why I was not WRONG… AND why I dont have to worry about anybody being hurt by any advice I offered…
And yet, all these months later, you STILL keep harping and ranting on it!! Why dont you go do a bone dig, and actually READ what Vaughn had to say about it??? I know you have a hard time reading things, especially once you have your mind made up… But just DO IT… I am getting tired of your same old CRAP about Soc. Sec. all the time… It was a NON issue then, and still is now!!
Get over it!!
Man the harpoons, he’s going to surface!
“Chas starts the name calling even before he makes his feeble points and then with his mistakes are pointed out he starts the personal attacks.”
What could possibly be a more personal attack than to attack the faith of a minister.
Grandma, I dont NEED your respect… And I am not even sure I would WANT it… You have much hatred in you, that is quite scary… By the time we get to be grandparents, the things you go off on rants about should be all over the dam… gone… But NOOOO you have to get on here and take great pride in attacking me, because I disagree with you on almost everything!!
Do I have problems calling you what you are??
NO!! Why?? Because somebody needs to do it!!
Chas there you are again. Seventy times seven… Turn the other cheek. Not you. You tell me not to come to your church like it is an exclusive club. You have a more serious problem than I envisioned. I’ll pray for you.
:: sounds a lot like Chas.
Demon in a different form. Chamelion-like.
Anyone who hasn’t seen the demon has not been in real deep shit before. Good for you. You’ve been lucky.
Thar he blows!
Yep looks like a good time to stop communicating with him. It starts to get more vicious as the night goes on and I get embrassed for him.
WSClark can vouch for someone he’s never met…
KSagnostic,
I gave you a reply to your long post, and I never saw that you responded. Other then with your lame attack above.
I must have nailed your Redistribution of Income and Assets approach, and that must have been very embarrassing to you.
And yes Chas, Socialism is the redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. Go ahead and post more of your economic bullshit all you want, but you won’t carry any more credibility with economic theories, then you do with your phony religious philosophy.
Have a nice evening.
KsGrm I dont know what cheeks you have been turning lately, but certainly no evidence of it on this Blog!! All I see out of you is a bunch of vitriolic spewing forth and ranting about things that you dont know anything about!!
And furthermore, you have one messed up idea about what and who Clergy are!! For starters, WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS… VERY HUMAN… WE MAKE MISTAKES… WE DONT ALWAYS HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION WE NEED… THATS WHY WE KNOW HOW TO FIND THAT INFORMATION…
And when we CANT help somebody with a problem, we are some of the world’s greatest referral agents… We know where to send people to FIND answers…
Any Clergy person who thinks or acts as if they have all the answers… in my denomination that Clergy person will be facing malpractice charges very fast… It just isnt something that happens…
Now, when you can stop the ATTITUDE.. maybe we can actually have a discussion now and then… if not… just leave me the Hell alone!! I dont need your kind in my life… or in my church… Most of what I see of you on this Blog is that of a disruptor… NO congregation needs disruptors, and finger pointers, and opinionated yahoos, trying to tell others how to live their lives… I would hope you dont act like this in YOUR church…

Max,
When Chas is posting that stuff, doesn’t it make you wonder how he can call himself a Christian???
————————————————-
Absolutely.
To say that there are other Gods contradicts the Bible I know.
To post repeatedly that Agnostic trash is to at best question the existence of God, and at worst blaspheme His name.
Constantly mocking God would seem to indicate he has not accepted Jesus as his personal savior. I knew a former pastor once who quit preaching because of conflicts within himself. He thought Jesus was a prophet of sorts, but couldn’t accept him as Christ the Lord.
Sad situation.
But, what’s worse, is the potential for harm that is done when someone who supposedly is a Christian leader, misleads his flock.
There are many sheep who might beleive him.
“WSClark can vouch for someone he’s never met…”
Damn, you do it all the time, McCreepy, all the time.
What a HIPPO-crite.
Too many pastors are afraid to take a stand anymore.
They do whatever it takes to be accepted, to be popular, to keep church members coming and bringing cash on Sundays.
They don’t stand for anything. Their path is where the wind takes them.
Who have I vouched for?
The only thing I’ve said remotely like that, is that I would have Nathan watch my back. A marksman and combat tested Marine, who wouldn’t?
Max, man, what you keep calling Socialism isnt Socialism… its called Communism… Communism is a redistribution of the wealth… Communism is the development of the Class-less Society that you keep ranting about…
I have only met three or four such people in my whole life… And they arent very thrilling people…
Socialism is a very widespread Economic practice in much of the Free World… It is already very much in force… but NOT HERE!!
Please try to get it straight… it doesnt make you look good!! Call it what it is… Your FEAR is Communism… Hey, its mine too!!
“To say that there are other Gods contradicts the Bible I know.”
Really? Then why does the First Commandment say that “thou shall not have any gods before me?”
It does not say “I am the only god.”
It says that you should not have any gods before Him.
Eh?
Be on the look out for a six foot two, 260 pound balding Minister of a mainstream Protestant Church, named Charles, who likes to blog during Church normal times when Church services are held.
pass it on…
“Who have I vouched for?”
You do it all the time, McCreepy.
I am beginning to think that your real name is James Hypocrite McCluer.
Of course, there would be a bit of redundancy to that……………….
Chas I have two members of the clergy in my immediate family. They have my respect because they live their faith – all of the time. They don’t turn it off when it is inconvenient. They never call others names. They wouldn’t even consider telling someone to go to hell and some of the other things you have said in your posts.
You are to be pitied.
So who I have vouched for Heebie?
Name someone, make a link.
Show me.
Prove it.
Display the facts.
Be on the look out for a six foot four, 298 pound balding man with a full beard that likes to pretend that he is all knowing and all seeing, but is actually about 280 pounds of bullshit.
2 John (NLT)
9 For if you wander beyond the teaching of Christ, you will not have fellowship with God. But if you continue in the teaching of Christ, you will have fellowship with both the Father and the Son.
10 If someone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite him into your house or encourage him in any way. 11 Anyone who encourages him becomes a partner in his evil work.
2 Timothy chapter 3 (GWT)
13 Evil people and phony preachers will go from bad to worse as they mislead people and are themselves misled.
So who have I vouched for Heebie?
“Name someone, make a link.”
I am not going to go through the boneyard or even todays posts to satisfy your perverse sense of propriety, McCreepy.
You do it every day – anyone that agrees with you is your best buddy – anyone that disagrees with you is a Heebie, etc, etc, etc, etc ad nauseum.
Actually Heebie, I have a full head of hair. :)
Again, who have I vouched for WSClark?
“So who have I vouched for Heebie?”
Nathan, Hank, Rossell, Max, Taz, KSGrm, Outlander, GMC, Sol Dev VB, AmWay, and on and on and on and on and on.
Dumbass.
And, no, I am not going to copy and paste all of the examples – I have better things to do.
“Actually Heebie, I have a full head of hair.”
You’re still an ugly SOB that can’t get a woman.
Nope WSClark, I never vouched for any of those people, because we’ve never met and even more importantly; even if we did meet – I would only vouch for a person if I knew them very well.
I doubt any of those would vouch for me either, as they’ve never met me.
Vouching for strangers is stupid.
Max, and you other religiously bigoted zealots… I am going to say this just ONE MORE TIME — So read carefully….
NOWHERE can ANY of you find ANY post where I have said I believe in any other Gods… See, you all just dont READ!! Max, you obviously arent reading from a decent Bible if you havent read of other Gods (just like Clark pointed out – and that is only ONE of the references) –
What I have said, and will ALWAYS say, is a simple fact of reality — OTHER people believe in Other Gods!! I accept that fact… It is not my job to change them… Nor is it their job to change ME… I acknowledge their existence… And I ask a Blessing from God, whatever ANYBODY conceives God to be! That means OUR God, or anybody else’s God!!
Now why you folks cannot get a grip on that simple reality… I honestly dont know…
Jesus said to be peacemakers… Thats all I know… And so, I call for God to bless; whatever ANYBODY conceives God to be!!
And I will ALWAYS do that, because I believe that is one way for the world to live in Peace…
Nuff Said!! If you all cant handle that simple little fact of Reality, I feel sorry for you…
Just leave ME and MY faith alone!! I am not imposing anything on anybody else… Because the God I ask to Bless each night, is YOUR God as well as the Hindu Gods, for the Hindu, and even Nathan’s weird concept of the people of the Golden Calf… not MY Golden Calf, but those Golden Calf people!!
If that is their God, then they should also ask their God for blessing!!
Now, I am hoping that this matter can be put to rest… in the interest of furthering world peace…
WSClark – hired Wonker for Chas…
To translates Chas’s long-winded post, he encourages people to violate the Ten Commandments – odd for a Minister eh?
Do not have any other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol
And so Regular ignores everything I just posted, and keeps on beating a dead horse…
What more could one expect from one who is fascinated by the size of another man’s testicles??
I think that probably says it all!!
Clark — I’m done here… keep in touch over the weekend, guy!!
Good night; Good luck;
God bless; whatever you
Conceive God to be!!
Blessings all!!
I dunno Chas, you and WSClark appear to be the one fascinated with testicles. You’ve both brought it up ten times more than I have.
“I never vouched for any of those people”
You just said that you would vouch for N. Price, McCreepy, not more than a half an hour ago.
How do you KNOW that he is a Marine? How do you KNOW that he was stationed in Iraq? How do you know these things?
Or do you just take his word for it?
I am not denying that Price is what he says he is, but by your own admission, you have never met him and yet you would vouch for him.
So why can’t you take Chas’ word that he is a minister?
As I said, I KNOW that Chas is a minister, but I will not divulge the details to protect his privacy from people like you.
People do not feel guilt for values they do not hold… For those who do not believe in the Old Testament God, they have no interest in keeping the 10 Commandments, or the other 603 that follow them…
Regular, YOU dont pray to Mecca 5 times a day… To those people, YOU and the rest of the world, are infidels…
I will not practice that kind of religion…
But, hey, if thats your thing, then go for it… Just dont force it on anybody else who doesnt want it!! What is hard to understand about that??
“I dunno Chas, you and WSClark appear to be the one fascinated with testicles”
Actually, McCreepy, you are the one that was talking about another poster’s nut sack constantly – and you called us homophobic because we thought it was creepy of you.
And that is why we tagged you McCreepy.
Loser.
I never vouched for Nathan, I said I would have him watch my back because of his training.
I’ve seen pictures of Nathan and of Nathan in Iraq.
As for Chas, Minister of a laundromat Church most likely.
(chortles)
the ruse goes on…
Stay tuned for the next episode which Chas claims to have ascended…
Regular, the Preface in front of my name is as follows: The Rt. Rev. Chas. ___________ I would think you know what that means… And thats as much as you will get…
Well that’s a relief Chas.
At least you didn’t use Very, Most or Magnificent Reverend…
“I’ve seen pictures of Nathan and of Nathan in Iraq.”
I have seen pictures of Chas performing a baptism in (what is obviously) a church.
So phuck you, McCreepy.
So Chas is not a sprinkler – that narrows it down. :D
I have been waiting a LONG time to make this post on the WE Blog. I don’t see anyone who blogged before,but to those who justify the actions of those who call darkness to be light and evil to be good let us all read the findings of the Kansas Judicial Commission on the following matter:
“Inquiry Concerning a Judge – Rebecca Pilshaw
Docket No .987 filed 22 Feb 2008″
“Conclusions of Law The Panel unanimously finds that Respondent’s conduct by clear and convincing evidence,violated Canon 2A and Canon 3B,subsections (3)and (4).”
I guess those folks who made negative personal comments about anyone who would dare say that the SG County Judges and SG County is mired in wrongful acts under the color of law were not able to blog or blot out the recurring manifest injustice of the little demigods in Wichita.
We can all only hope that the day will come when wrongful officials in this county recognize THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW!

So Chas is not a sprinkler – that narrows it down.
==============================
And you reeached that conclusion, based on what assumption?? LOL
We need to start an over/under on how many times Chas. will return to a thread after he indicates that he is leaving for the night.
Returning as . , or :: or any other of his numerous nics will count.
It will be permissible to ask him reasonable questions to keep him stirred up but you must be civil.
We’ll pick a day next week for the wager/Chas. pool and come up with some rules. Anyone interested? Should it be a pool, over/under? you name it!
And I ask a Blessing from God, whatever ANYBODY conceives God to be! That means OUR God, or anybody else’s God!!
———————————————–
If I conceive God to be a Golden Calf, then God is a Golden Calf.
When did Jesus say God is whatever you think God is?
I’ll bet Chas. is a sprinkler. He corrupts every thing else, why not a Baptism?
Max, to somebody who does not believe in Jesus, your question is, of course, totally absurd… and irrelevant… Try again!!
Anybody attack YOUR baptism lately Hank??
Gee, we should find somebody to do that!!
One God:
Deuteronomy 4:35: “You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.”
Deuteronomy 4:39: “Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.”
Deuteronomy 32:39: “See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me.”
2 Kings 19:15-19: “Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: `O Lord, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God. It is true, O Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste these nations and their lands. They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by men’s hands. Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord, are God.’…
Isaiah 43:10, 13: “`You are my witnesses,’ declares the Lord, `and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior…. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?’”
Isaiah 45:5-6: “I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.”
Mark 12:32-34: “`Well said, teacher,’ the man replied. `You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.’ When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, `You are not far from the kingdom of God.’”
John 17:3: “This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”
Romans 3:29-30: “Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God.”
1 Timothy 1:17: “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
James 2:19: “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder.”: “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder.”
Jude 25: “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”
Max says >>>>
“If I conceive God to be a Golden Calf, then God is a Golden Calf.”
NOW you got it Max!! See, that wasnt so hard, now, was it?? By golly, Max finally gets it right!!
As I said, I KNOW that Chas is a minister, but I will not divulge the details to protect his privacy from people like you.
————————————————-
Chas has done nothing but bring peace and honor to this blog.
Why should he be afraid to let his congregation see his words here?
Max- OK, there is one God (I suppose). The question is– do Jews, Budhists etc. burn?
Yup.
Jews get that New Earth thing.
Buddhists get what Buddhists get which is nothing.
I’m not a Christian, but I don’t see any other way around it. He said, what He said.
WWJD
I got a feeling He would do what He said He would do.
Now you all know how Jesus will be treated when he returns.
A crusty old man walks into the local Lutheran church
and says to the secretary, “I would like to join this
damn church.”
The astonished woman replies, “I beg your pardon, sir.
I must have misunderstood you. What did you say?”
“Listen up, damn it. I said I want to join this damn
church!”
“I’m very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not
tolerated in this church.” The secretary leaves her
desk and goes into the pastor’s study to inform him of
her situation. The pastor agrees that the secretary
does not have to listen to that foul language.
They both return to her office and the pastor asks the
old geezer, “Sir, what seems to be the problem here?”
“There is no damn problem,” the man says. “I just won
$200 million bucks in the damn lottery and I want to
join this damn church to get rid of some of this damn
money.
“I see,” said the pastor. “And is this bitch giving
you a hard time?”
As the King of Kings RD?
Well what do we have over here?
Well we got chas and WS.
I’m disappointed in ya guys.
Can’t you see it?
The only con posters here are Hank, grm and the diseased James with a whole bunch of phony nics.
He’s not even good at hiding it anymore. Since when did “Max” quote scripture?
You’re being played and playing along. Your “worthy” adversaries are a mean old woman, a cranky old man, and a mental case.
Let them talk to themselves.
And you treat ALL of them as if they were real.
“Why should he be afraid to let his congregation see his words here?”
Ah, Max, would you want us to post EVERY ONE ofyour words at YOUR place of business?
I think not.
I see ‘fed’ people
Chas.

Just who will dress you in your heavenly wardrobe
(sniffle, sniffle, snort, snort)?
In your dreams, you dreamer.
Chas is not a doer.
MAX, ARE YOU REALLY THAT DENSE??
IF THAT IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE, THATS FOR YOU!!
BUT FOR THOSE WHO DONT; FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN GOD; ALL OF THOSE VERSES ARE ABSURD!!
WHAT IS THERE ABOUT THAT THAT YOU DONT GET???
THERE ARE MILLIONS ON THIS PLANET THAT SIMPLY DONT SHARE YOUR FAITH, OR MINE…. IF YOU CANT HANDLE THAT SIMPLE FACT, THEN I REALLY DO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!! YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THE TALIBAN, OR THE RADICAL MUSLIMS!!
THE ULTIMATE DECISION ON LIFE/DEATH BELONGS NOT TO US, BUT TO OUR GOD… FOR OUR RELIGION!!
TO SOMEBODY ELSE, IT IS THEIR GOD FOR THEIR RELIGION!!
WHAT IS IT ABOUT FREEDOM OF RELIGION THAT YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS ARE FAILING TO SEE HERE??
Hey Max!
How much dope do you suppose Clarkie has smoked tonight?
not enough kitrell, not enough…
Hey Chas baby!
You got your right hand on the bible and your other is where? Enjoying a little self stimulation?
Ya got nobody. You might vote twice or three times down in T e x a s, but it ain’t agonna help Billary.
I see all caps. You need a life man.
Now hurry up and email the blog editor, you crybaby.
So you can get your final, “Good Night! Satan Bless!” message out there.

“How much dope do you suppose Clarkie has smoked tonight?”
None, bozo, it’s been about eighteen months, but who’s counting?
Idiot.

As the Son of God, Regular? Whatever you want to believe and call it.
Y’all didn’t happen to play the role of Roman soldiers in Gibson’s Passion of Christ, did you? If you didn’t, you sure could have been typecast for it.
Regular – Kitrell – McCreepy – what do they ALL have in common?
“all laid out in all of the official robes, stoles, etc.”
Chas are dreaming? Do you think ANYone will care?
Better yet: Will anyone even notice?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
We got some potholes that need filling.
Kitrell You are just plain old unadulterated DUMB and STUPID… You obviously have NO idea what I was saying… But go on your little looney tune world… hope you have fun living in your own private fantasy land with all of your little make believe friends!!
18 months Clark?
Wow! That’s like a regular record or somfin, huh?
Once a dope always a dope.
Obviously, you have fried a few too many braincells.
You don’t get em back ya know.
What if you’re wrong, Kitrell? How will you weasel out of all that when you’re standing at the pearlie gates in front of St. Peter?

Chas: “make believe”
Hey Chas it ain’t ME with the make believe.
What idiot would post such a stupid thing? Never saw anyone ELSe post such stupid shi-.
All decked out in MY robes.
As if that makes you a saint or sumfin.
“What if you’re wrong, Kitrell?”
Wrong about what RD?
Hell, God doesn’t give a shi- about right or wrong.
Kitrell… you are so damned DUMB, and pathetic, You dont deserve an answer!!
Now you have the audacity to even make fun of DEATH!! A$$hole
Kitrell, you are truly and asshole – don’t let McCreepy find out about that – he is very interested in male body parts.
I think I know where Chas’s idea for his blessing came from. Correct me if I’m wrong, Chas, but it’s part of the Desiderata.
“Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.”
Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952
I should post the entire piece. It might be very enlightening for some.
And before Econ101 or anyone else jumps up to scream PLAGIARISM, not even close.
***NEWS FLASH****
Assholeiated Press:
This just in from a tiny town in Kansas: The great CHAS, known around the world has died. He is all decked out in his special divinity robes (blue light special purchase).
See him on our vidieo tape?
“daa-da-daa!” “daa-da-daa!” “da-dada da dada da dada!”
(Ain’t happenin’ – he aint a Vet.)
But dream on buddy Chas. Dream on.
Go to Disneyland before you go. Ride through the It’s a small world afterall presentation.
Realize: you are not even a tiny pebble in the stream of life.
THIS BLOG WILL BE YOUR MEMORY.
All the attacks, all your name calling, all your smart butt remarks.
That will be your final monument (I have saved them)
That is, if anyone even notices.
FYI Kitrell dip stick, Clergy are quite normally buried in full Robes and Stoles appropriate for the Season…
At least those of us who wear Vestments…
Yep, I suppose somebody with as low a view of life as you would get your jollies by keeping all of the posts that give your some sort of macho feel good thoughts… God only knows you have no redeeming social values…
Furthermore… Take all of your saved posts, and STUFF em all…. wherever it will give you the most thrill!!
“What if you’re wrong, Kitrell?”
RD, God hired me to reveal the satan and the false prophets.
Chas, was a small timer at the bottom of my list.
“That will be your final monument (I have saved them)”
Kitrell and McCreepy must be VERY closely related – McCreepy is the only other blogger that I know of that keeps files on each and every poster.
Creepy SOB, isn’t he?
Actually, both of them.
In your dreams, Kitrell. Or nightmares, as the case may be.
“FYI Kitrell dip stick, Clergy are quite normally buried in full Robes and Stoles appropriate for the Season… ”
Spoken like a true, “Man of God”.
name-calling and full of self pride.
God is watching Chas. He reads the blogs.
BTW, Idiot Kitrell… I dont live in a tiny town in Kansas… But what does it matter to you… you think you know everything… so think whatever you like… You are still scum!! And the sad part of it is, you KNOW you are scum, and you revel in it!!
“McCreepy is the only other blogger that I know of that keeps files on each and every poster.”
You forgot Capn America, JR, and even Chas.
“You forgot Capn America, JR, and even Chas.”
Nope, just McCreepy and now you, Kitrell.
Funny company you keep.
Creepy, too.
I knew it… Kitrell is an escapee from a mental ward… or else he is Pat Robertson in drag… NOBODY makes claims like that unless they are flat out CRAZY!! LOL
Kitrell says >>>>
“RD, God hired me to reveal the satan and the false prophets.”
What a true piece of pure Mental depravity!!
Makes one wonder how he got loose!! LOL
Clark, you are a drug abuser.
No one cares what you post in your purple haze.
Go back to the streets and your dealer.
At least they can post somfin that makes sen$e.
Maui Wowwie or Panama Red.
2 Peter chapter 2 (TEV)
9 And so the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the Day of Judgment, 10 especially those who follow their filthy bodily lusts and despise God’s authority.
These false teachers are bold and arrogant, and show no respect for the glorious beings above; instead, they insult them. 13 They will be paid with suffering for the suffering they have caused. Pleasure for them is to do anything in broad daylight that will satisfy their bodily appetites; they are a shame and a disgrace as they join you in your meals, all the while enjoying their deceitful ways!
Kitrell — I HOPE God reads the blogs!! He needs to know that there are some here who will stand up to your pure and utter Atheism!!
But, hey, you have freedom of religion… We wouldnt want you to feel deprived!! Go for it!!
WOW, Max…. did you just learn a new trick?? Copy and paste Bible Verses… must be a powerful hard drive you got there!!
Do have fun… time for Dr. House show now…
Bye fantsy freaks!!
Clark: Blessings!!
That’s right Chas.
But here is a message God has for you:
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John Blah-blah-blah.
God said it Chas. BELIEVE IT.
health = GOOD health.
Believing equals receiving as long as your needs and wants are parallel.
BELIEVE to be better.
“pure and utter Atheism!!
Chas, God doesn’t want anymore of your agnostic
crap either.
Clark/Chas: About time you CRY to the editor.
Go on now. Big babies.
“Maui Wowwie or Panama Red.”
Ah, shades of AmWay – using the exact same terminology, right down to the misspellings.
Eh, AmWay, how is that police investigation working out?
Eh, dumbass?
Don’t need to contact the editors – they don’t do anything anyway, but you have just outed yourself, AmWay.
And therefore, you have made a fool of yourself.
Just like McCreepy does everyday.
WSClark keeps wonking for Chas, you know that guy that WSClark vouches for – a person he’s never met.
Regular keeps wonking for the Capn’ testicles, you know that guy that Regular swoons for – a person he’s never met.
Lord lead us not into Temptation;
But deliver us from folks
Who think they’re You!
Again, WSClark brings up the “t” word. Evidently Heebie is obsessed with the concept and the visualization as he has brought it up more than anyone else on the blog in the entire history of the blog.
Some day the Editors will get tired of seeing these Trolls taking over their Blog, and then we will get a Sign-in… Some day!!
The “t” word should be brought up EVERY DAY to remind the Blog posters of the kind of depravity they will encounter by posting here.
The Eagle already knows how to do “sign-ins.”
They put this blog on a separate server, which has many possible explanations and interpretations of why there hasn’t been any sign-in forms made.
Preferably, the cut/paste post of what Regular actually said should be posted every day.. So people would be aware of the nature of some posters on this Blog. LOL

“Evidently Heebie is obsessed with the concept and the visualization”
Unfortunately, McCreepy, you were the one with the constant references to another posters nut sack, and when called on it, you accused everyone else of being homophobic……………….
Hence, McCreepy.
You truly are one weird SOB, McCluer.
How is your 3D blow up doll doing, McCreepy, do you have to “refill” her every night? When are you going to make an honest woman of her?
Dumbass.
Psssssst Clark… Its called “projection”
Such freshman level use of psychology terms.
It is funny that McCreepy called us “homophobic” when we thought it was rather weird that he had an obsession with another poster’s nut sack.
What do you think he meant by that?
That he was actually homosexual?
He wanted to be homosexual?
He had dreams?
What?
How could someone thinking you were being creepy be “homophobic?”
delusional thinking??? projection???
perhaps sexual perversion???
Wow House, MD is GOOD tonight!!
Rev. Chas, So how much money are you conning out of old ladies down at the church. What’s your take? You really are not it if because you believe the teachings, you show that to us everyday. So what is it, the little power trip, or the con?
Twice so far Hank.

Damn, prayer really DOES work – I guess McCreepy has another HOT Friday night date with his 3D blow up doll.
Practice safe sex, McCluer, don’t get her preggers!!!
That’s not very nice Anti.
Chas wouldn’t do such a thing for the money. He teaches us all about Jesus every day on this blog.
uh huh….by example..
And for free too.
Mass Psychosis!! Never seen anything like this since my residency at Larned State!!
Hank, 90% chance that Chas will return tonight.
He’s only said goodbye twice so far.
Chas, as a rev. how can you justify the things you say?
Hank, make that 100%
Ben, I’ve owned several predominantly black labs. They have been gentle, loving, loyal dogs with good dispositions. However they can get overly protective over time.
They also have a very natural retrieval instinct, are strong swimmers and love water.
My best one wa a lab shepard mix, very smart. They also are pretty bad about digging holes! I would inquire if that isn’t the reason the dog is up for adoption. Can be impossible to stop from escaping afte the get the urge to roam and taste freedom a couple times!
People react to you this way because you are suppose to be a Rev., man of god, you are looked at as a leader and held to a higher standard. But you say very hateful things and are incredibly hypocritical. That pisses people off ten fold.
ANTI — The truth can be painful, but somebody has to say it!! YOU ARE NUCKING FUTS!!
Man of God says “YOU ARE NUCKING FUTS!!”
Classy
Oh Chas, I’m shocked!
Ben, I have a chocolate lab. Very loving dog, full of energy, and mild in nature. The only problem I had with him was when he was a pup. He chewed on everything and it didn’t stop until he was about 2 years old. But I wouldn’t trade him for anything.
100% Chas will say goodnight, again.
Followed by a 85% chance that he will return within 1 hour after that.
I HAVENT SAID ANYTHING HATEFUL — YET… NOR HAVE I SAID ANYTHING HYPOCRITICAL…
The problem is, that YOU and others accuse me of NOT being what YOU have decided I should be… And by definition, that makes YOU the hypocrite!! By me NOT being what YOU think I should be, does not give you a right to call ME a hypocrite… It does however, make YOU the hypocrite…
I AM who I AM… I am NOT what you think I should be… YOU are the one confused… Not ME… If you werent mentally challenged you could clearly see that… There are many professionals who can help you with that problem… It would make your life much more sastisfying…
Church Lady — You havent been shocked since that Friday night in the back seat of your boyfriends car when you were 14!! Come on now, dont LIE!!! LOL
OK, you can ut your sock puppets back in their drawers now… Show’s over!! Ballet wasnt worth the price of admission!!
So what is your take?
“I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I yam”
Con-Man
???? ??? ????
Chas is the reason people look down at religion. Because they see people preaching standards of living and principles and yet the one doing the preaching has no principles…It is a real shame.
Amen!
Revised forecast, due to the diminishing chance of Chas:
90% chance that Chas will say goodnight again.
Only a 20% chance that he will return after that.
Storm spotters will be needed thru 3 am this morning.
100% chance future Chas BS
Jonathan Kalb – The Gospel According to Billy – Theater 31:3 Theater 31.3 (2001) 161-167 The Gospel According to Billy Jonathan Kalb [Figures] His pulpit, when he performs in theaters, is a red Village Voice distribution box stolen from a street corner, with his own picture displayed in the window.
He wears a clerical collar over a black shirt and a white dinner jacket, the bleached-blond tips of his Roy Orbison hairdo adding just the right touch to his uncannily accurate Jimmy Swaggart imitation. He rushes in, flashes a politician’s smile, and begins preaching to his typically hip downtown congregation of faithful nonbelievers:
“We believe in the God that people who don’t believe in God believe in. Hallelujah!”
This is Reverend Billy, a.k.a. Bill Talen, minister of the Church of Stop Shopping, and over the past few years his brand of mock evangelism poised on the border of real belief has risen to lucent prominence in the depressed landscape of radical theater in New York.
Talen is a self-sacrificial political gadfly, a theatrical species generally given up for dead in the United States — Alisa Solomon calls him “the Al Sharpton of the ultra-ironic yet politically committed downtown set”–and like his spiritual predecessors in the 1960s, he doesn’t confine himself to the controlled environments of auditoriums and playhouses.

So Chas….
If a person thinks they are god, shoudln’t you be ok with that and not ask that “your” God deliver you from them???
Since belief in any god is ok with you.
“If a person thinks they are god, shoudln’t you be ok with that and not ask that “your” God deliver you from them???”
Huh? English translation please.
WS Clark,
If you want me to respect your wishes to not ask you questions about your faith, you should start by not interjecting yourself into other peoples discussions of faith.
“If you want me to respect your wishes to not ask you questions about your faith, you should start by not interjecting yourself into other peoples discussions of faith.”
Well just excuse the phuck out of me, Price. Holy god damn shit – you stick your mothaforkin’ nose in everyone’s business, but I CAN’T ask you what the god damn Hell you are talking about?
Jeez, you are one touchy son of a bitch, aren’t you, Price.
In summary:
-Chas doesn’t like quoting scripture or using scripture unless it is what Christ said about making peace.
-Chas doesn’t believe that Jesus Christ is the only God.
-Chas doesn’t seem to believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.
And then Chas calls himself a Christian???
Yeah right, and I’m a Muslim. Just don’t ask me any questions about the Pillars of Islam because I don’t actually adhere to anything a Muslim would do, just like to call myself one…
WS Clark,
You are the one who cries about not wanting to talk about YOUR faith. Yet you love to discuss everyone elses and get involved in everyone else discussions about faith.
Sorry, I thought you were the touchy one.
“You are the one who cries about not wanting to talk about YOUR faith. Yet you love to discuss everyone elses and get involved in everyone else discussions about faith.”
I cry about it? No dumbass, I just do not choose to discuss my spiritual beliefs with a self-righteous SOB like you – my choice – I only was only referring to the fact that your post was gibberish – like most of what you post.
Or are you telling me that I can’t even READ your posts?
Damn, you really are an asshole, aren’t you Price?
“If you want me to respect your wishes.”
Like RESPECTING anyone else was ever something you intended to do, Price.
You seem to take great delight in doing just the opposite – you LOVE to piss people off by just showing up where you are not wanted.
Dumbass.
WS Clark,
You choose not to answer any pointed questions about your faith which would leave you open to the same judgement you cast on me about mine.
You have no problem talking about your faith when it suits you.
Just like Chas. It isn’t any wonder why you defend him so much.
WS Clark,
I wouldn’t want you to be confused, so let me break it down for you:
1. Chas routinely says “God Bless you, whatever you conceive of God to be”
2. Chas also posts a agnostic prayer saying “deliver us from those who think they’re you”
So…
What if someone conceives of themselves as God?
Sounds like Chas should be alright with that and the posting of something asking to be delivered from those that think themselves to be God is a bit judgemental on his part.
He really shouldn’t have a problem with someone thinking they are God if he actually believes all that crap he posts…
“You choose not to answer any pointed questions about your faith which would leave you open to the same judgement you cast on me about mine.”
Judgment – notice the spelling, dumbass.
The only time that I have EVER questioned your faith is in regards to SCIENCE and the treatment of gays.
That is it.
Nothing else.
When faced with overwhelming scientific evidence, to fall back on Biblical (evidence?) stories is just wrong.
There is more than enough room for science and faith, but physical evidence cannot be ignored.
As for gays – only the most die hard HATERS believe that homosexuality is a choice.
Why not ask gay people what they think – each and everyone will stated without equivocation that it IS NOT a choice.
Reread all your notes and copied pages that you have a file on me – those are the only two issues that I have challenged you on, Price.
And those two happen to be two issues that directly effect voters in Kansas.
Other than that, I could truly care less about how you handle your snake.
“I wouldn’t want you to be confused, so let me break it down for you:”
Phuck you, Price, you condescending little SOB.
WS Clark,
If that is all you care about, then why are you in the middle of these discussion with Chas about faith, when it is about Christ?
And that last post of yours is why I positively LOATH you, Price.
WS Clark,
And you are not being condescending to me by pointing out my spelling errors the way you do?
I suppose it would be wishful thinking on my part for you to ever realize that you are 10 times worse to me than you constantly cry about me being to you?
WS Clark,
I don’t loath you, I don’t hate you, I don’t even dislike you.
I simply disagree with you on certain issues on a public blog.
Why you emotionally wrap yourself up in this stuff is beyond me.
Do you remember the movie Broadcast News, Price?
(I know that you only see Mel Gibson movies, but bear with me.)
Do you remember when the producer ask the just fired news man “what he could do for him?”
What was the reply?
‘Cuz if you were to ask me the same question, I would give you the same answer.
“I don’t loath you, I don’t hate you, I don’t even dislike you.”
I loath you, I hate you and I DESPISE you, Price.
I wouldn’t let my dog take a milkbone from your hand.
WS Clark,
I am not sure what teachings of Christ you follow, since you said you do follow some of them…
But I would do far more than let my dog take a milkbone from your hand. I would help you out in any reasonable way I could.
I feel sorry for you that you would be so judgemental of someone based on disagreement about politics and religion on a blog.
I love how I am condemned for being so judgemental…
Yet Chas is the one who wouldn’t welcome people in his church and WS Clark is the one who wouldn’t let a dog take a milkbone from my hand.
So much hate from both of them.
“I feel sorry for you that you would be so judgemental of someone based on disagreement about politics and religion on a blog.”
Disagreement? That is what you call it?
You are EVERYTHING I am against. Discrimination. Self-righteousness. Religious bigotry. Self-serving denial of science. Self-serving interpretations of the teachings of Christ. Hatred for those that are different than you and less fortunate than you. Preaching violence over peace, violence over tolerance, violence over understanding. Valuing wealth over human values.
Disagreement?
How about seeing life in two totally and completely different ways?
I value people over anything else. I believe that Jesus was correct when He said “What you do to the least of these, you do also unto me.”
You, apparently, believe something totally different.
WS Clark,
Perhaps you really do have either a reading problem or a comprehension problem.
I do not preach violence over peace.
I do no not hate anyone.
I do not preach violence over tolerance.
I do not preach violence over understanding.
I do not value wealth over human values.
There is nothing I have ever said or done on this blog that would give you reason to make such distinct statements about what I do and do not believe.
WS Clark,
So is that the only saying from Christ you believe? Is seems to be the only one you can quote.
“Perhaps you really do have either a reading problem or a comprehension problem.”
Phuck you, you condescending little SOB.
“So is that the only saying from Christ you believe? Is seems to be the only one you can quote.”
Phuck you, you condescending little SOB.
Jesus H Christ, and you WONDER why I hate you, Price?
“There is nothing I have ever said or done on this blog that would give you reason to make such distinct statements about what I do and do not believe.”
Everything you say and everything you do proves my point.
The world would be a much better place without people like you.
LOL
The line from Broadcast News is……
“Well, you could die soon.”
And on that happy note, I am out of here.
Quote of the Day
“Observers say Castro will either be
replaced by his brother Raul, or by
his idiot son, Fidel W. Castro.”
— Letterman
WS Clark,
Beyond simple disagreement and getting you riled up sometimes, I would never say or hope anything upon you like you do me.
The difference between you and I:
You are more concerned about running and saving yourself and hoping bad things upon others while I would be concerned with saving others and wishing good things for them.
Character.
Something you obviously don’t have any of.
I may be more immature than you, but I have more character at my age than you have aspired to at yours.
And you’re so modest, too, “Nathan.” You forgot to mention that.

WS Clark,

I do not preach violence over peace.

I do not preach violence over understanding.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD SHOOT ANYONE THAT MESSED WITH YOUR DOGS.
I do not value wealth over human values.
OK GOT ME THERE —– BUT I DOUBT IT
There is nothing I have ever said or done on this blog that would give you reason to make such distinct statements about what I do and do not believe.
THATS BECAUSE YOU NEVER READ OR EDIT WHAT YOU WRITE — YOU ARE TIED FOR FIRST WITH BEING THE MOST JUDGEMENTAL, BIGOTED PERSON ON THE BLOG — YOU’VE AS MUCH AS SAID (AS WELL AS YOUR DAD) THAT YOU LIKE BEING IN KANSAS BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO SUPERIOR — REGULAR THINKS YOUR TYPE SHOULD LEAVE —- YOU’RE NOT FROM HERE …
Japan Launches High-Speed Communications Satellite Atop Rocket

Associated Press
TOKYO — “Japan’s space agency said Saturday it launched a communications satellite designed to enable super high-speed data transmission.
Kizuna, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and JAXA, is designed to enable super high-speed communications of up to 1.2 gigabit-per-second to allow low-cost, easy access to information across Japan and in other parts of the Asia-Pacific region.”
——————
Holy Moly! 1.2 gigabits-per-second!
To compare:
Dial UP: 2400 bits per second (bps)
DSL: 128 Kbps to 8 Mbps
8,000,000 bits per second
Cable: 512 to 20 mega bits per second (mbps)
20,000,000 bits per second
Wireless: 30 Mbps
30,000,000 bits per second
Intranets on large corporate computers: 155 Mbps
155,000,000 bits per second
New Kizuna Technology: 1,200,000,000,000 bits per second
That is some smoking hot speeds folks.
1,200,000,000,000 bits per second
should be
1,200,000,000 bits per second
It’s not up to tera bits per second yet. :D
Does NEPTUNE = Chas?
For the record, I never said I would shoot anyone because of my dogs.
As usual, the liberal lies get so twisted like a game of telephone to the point of absurdity.
I have never said any such thing about living in Kansas making me feel superior either.
I like living in Kansas because I feel like this is my home.
hank – fleettwood – we will check how she interacts with the kids. Not too worried about just knocking them down etc – they bounce pretty good. I would imagine at 11 months she will be pretty much full grown physically but still ’stupid’ – i.e. a teenager. We are told she is good with kids – don’t want one that will ‘react’ unduly to having a tail yanked etc. She will have a good-sized yard to run around in so should be happy that way.
My boys loved our old husky-mix mutt – they like big dogs they can play with and ‘abuse’ ;)
“If you ever shot any of my dogs, you would disappear.
“Your car would disappear.

MonkeyHawk,
Exactly. I never said one word about shooting anyone.
I suppose I should take lightly the threats of others to kill my dogs?
btw — My dog and I just returned from the park. She had some smell mail to check. If you have something to do outside now looks better than later. Really cold and the sleet has started.
One good side benefit of getting a dog is that maybe I will get at least a little exercise – chasing her etc. Probably be good for me – as I am sure both Linda and nathan can attest to. ;)
Yes, Ben. Most days when she turns those lovely caring brown eyes on me I give in and allow some time out of the fenced yard. And on the way back I try to remember to thank her for keeping me active for one more day.
Why is the Eagle, with this country struggling on issues of faith, presenting an article on St. John’s, a church belonging to a denomination that is on the verge of schism and fracturing, due the following issues:
Belief in the inerrancy of the Word of God (Yahweh).
Sanctioning of gays and lesbians, etc
The ordination of gays and lesbians to the ministry.
Making marraige covenants between those of the same sex.
Campaigning against the Boy Scouts of America and it’s stand against homosexuals in leadership.
Etc., etc.

Hey Chas,
Socialism is not communism?
Here is the definition of socialism for your update in renewed learning:
so·cial·ism /?so????l?z?m/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation[soh-shuh-liz-uhm] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
OK Chas, now say “soh-shuh-liz-uhm”.
sew shull liz um
Think there is a reptile with that name.
Hey Chas,
I got that from in case you think I made it up:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/socialism
OK — You found yours… Here is mine >>>
“WordNet – Cite This Source – Share This
socialism

_______________________________________________
Your definition says one thing… THIS definition says something different… So, based on that, you want to say I am wrong and you are right???
Doesnt look like that would be possible….
And so it goes!! LOL
Chas,
So you completely refute:
Marx
Stalin
the former USSR (United Soviet Socialist Republic, a communist state)
the Communist Red China of today (a socialist state)
Or the communism of Cuba (a socialist society based on the Soviet model)
Question:
What socialist state is working well today and would be your model of socialism?
The USA.
Sugar,
You are not too far from the truth there, in the fact that we are moving toward socialism, i.e. like Canada is now.
My question is who, other than the USA, which is still a democratic republic today, is a succesful model of socialism today?
Something tells me American, that it will be a long time before somebody can answer your question.
crickets – chirp chirp chirp
Sugar,
Should we move to what Russia is moving to today?
They essentially are socialistic in their leadership (with Putin, former KGB, as the powerbroker), but they are also trying to take control of big business through capitalism and also have more military power in the world.
I don’t here any answers out there………..
Chas, JR, WS, Sugar?
Care to give me an answer?
Ummmm Canada, England, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, Philippines..
Want more???
Socks must be getting musty in that drawer there, American LOL
Chas,
I said successful models of socialism.
I would question some of your answers above.
France? You’ve got to be kidding!
France is being overrun with muslims and they have been rioting in the streets. They are trying to take away all of the free benefits, because they can’t afford it anymore.
And you did not answer my questions above about refuting the governments I listed above.
