Even if I were to agree with your comparing the action to what America did, which I don’t, it still wouldn’t be a logical statement you just made.

One of the perks of the job.

And the best part? The cons wont look at it….

As Tracy used to say, pitiful. Just pitiful.

Russia Attacks Georgia

This might be a bigger deal that most of us think.

A European nation is invading another European nation.

If it matters, the US should be involved.

Except, George WMD Bush has depleted American military effectiveness. We’ve got hundreds of thousands of troops “working” the Surge. More and more Americans are getting killed in Afghanistan. And, with our military clout strained to the limit, Russia starts expanding.

We let it happen, and get Putin (who Shrub claimed was his soul-mate) in the habit to expand his empire.

Or we react.

But how?

All our troops are in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So what’s left?

Missiles?

Nukes? They’ve always been the weapon of last resort. Just how many “resorts” are available?

Are we at the next-to-the-last resort? The third-from-the-last resort? The fifth–?

George WMD Bush’s legacy is that his administration has screwed up foreign policy in every way imaginable.

Ol’ twice-born Shrub figures Jesus is returning soon and if it happens before January 20, 2009. he might get a photo-op with the Big Guy.

(That’s Dumbya’s nickname for Jesus: “Big Guy”)

I respect and admire your passion.

I used to be you, in many respects.

I’ve aged.

I’ve mellowed.

Maybe I’ve become soft.

Thing is,

I’ve come to realize that good is not the enemy of perfect.

And that the Ship of State takes a while to turn around.

I’d prefer a Bat-Turn. But it’s not gonna happen.

So I cope.

Well if you think you saw me that way on this occasion Monkeyhawk, you would be mistaken.

I was having fun.

“American way”, now THAT is overwrought.

A few of the other con faithful contributed their comedy stylings.

I suggested a thread that I thought would be lively and then quickly proved my case.

I AM passionate about the separation of church and State. For the greater good of both church and State.

I bring an example of a blur on that line and witness how quickly the faithful go on defense.

I have a higher standard for enemies and you don’t make the cut.

You’ve trained your “boy” the way you’ve trained your dogs. With just as much love. And just as much respect for their intellect.

Last night, as I was driving across Kansas, I tuned into one of those Bott stations and listened to that Aussie evangelist who, like you, believes in a young Earth and spins snippets of legitimate science with screwball biblical interpretation and it revealed to me how people who don’t think would think he makes sense.

The root of the word “ignorant” is “ignore.” You have to ignore a lot of stuff to come up with your mindset (as revealed in this forum). I don’t think you’re stupid and I doubt you are evil. And I think “BlueJay” gets overly passionate about injustices he sees and gets overwrought.

I won’t assume to figure out what you were trying to say to “BlueJay” when you posted:

“You should be happy you aren’t [your enemy.]

Sounds like you’re pissing in the corners and staking out some territory.

Sounds like, in your world, all others are dogs.

I would be surprised if SOCC gets in any trouble over their sign. They always have something controversial on it. They’ve even weathered an IRS investigation in the past.

Their minister may be a nut, but he’s willing to go to jail for what he believes in.

I invited debate. WHY are you disparaging that?

And yes Hank you are my enemy. You’d like me to think otherwise. You have your money and your power and you’d prefer to keep that unchallenged.

I know better.

Junior, you do take this blogging shit seriously, huh?

I have posted here ONLY what the sign on the church said and ASKED if this it at odds with their tax exempt status.

I have invited debate.

The sign does not invite debate. It assigns judgment.

Just as it is not for the state to dictate to the church so must it be that the church not dictate to the state.

I was merely pointing out what a clown you are. It’s not even a legal matter, they ‘crossed no line’.

Come, now:

“Dems won’t vote to allow drilling breaking 2nd commandment Earth worship!”

What the hell kind of goofiness is that sentiment trying to address in the first place?! It’s worthy of “RedWhiteNBlue’s” work.

“Earth worship?!”

Just what constitutes “Earth worship?” Respect for the planet? If you are a “true” christian, you’ll litter and set forest fires just to avoid suspicion you like Mother Nature just a little too much? And even worse, you’re not a true Republic Party partisan unless you show your disdain for the Earth.

Let’s bring back 1969’s Cuyahoga River fire in Cleveland! It’s a Bible Lesson! (”Lake of fire.” “River on fire!” Get it?)

I would expect most thinking Republicans (assuming there are some remaining) would just as soon not be associated with whatever theology prompted such a stupid message. Like the guys on Arlo Guthrie’s “Group W Bench,” they’re slowly moving away.

Hmmm. Group W?

All hail, the Prophet Arlo!

(chortles are in order here)

And here is he proving once again that he and all he believes is easily assailable and barely defensible.

I’ll learn from that.

“Waging battle against church signs is a little advanced for someone with your social skills.”

It is not a social matter. It is a legal matter.

Eagle editors? I think I have demonstrated conclusively that the marquee ads of Spirit One Christian Center merit a thread.

Because the Spirit One Christian Center didn’t specifically target a candidate or campaign, their sign doesn’t ‘cross any lines’.

You should stick with simple day to day activities, such as controlling your negative attitude long enough to be able to buy a taco at a drive through or maybe buy a fishing license at WalMart.

Waging battle against church signs is a little advanced for someone with your social skills.

It is important to keep in mind that tax exemptions are a matter of “legislative grace,” which means that no one is necessarily entitled to tax exemptions and that they are not protected by the Constitution. If a government doesn’t want to allow tax exemptions, it doesn’t have to. It is up to taxpayers to establish that they are entitled to get any exemptions which the government allows: if they fail to meet that burden, the exemptions can be denied.

They are a church. They are SUPPOSED to be trying to save everybody.

The population is split and bitterly so. By getting out of their role and playing at politics they only ADD to that.

Is it really so hard for some to believe that one could defend both church and state by keeping them separate?

And do support them, they’re an awesome group.

I do find it sad that the neocons on the board are spitting upon the laws of the US. Would jsut as soon burn that constitution wouldn’t you Amway, Box?

I wonder if it sucks as much as I think it must suck to be in Oliver Stone’s telescopic sights…er, film viewer.

Also, I wonder if Obama has in place, come October, some complementary ads in place linking Stone’s film to McCain. Stone did make Natural Born Killers, after all. :D

But. I am so there come just prior to election day. :wink:
