The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

The Republicans on the campaign trail are, apparently, “Moody,” according to a Leftwing writer. They’re moody because most of them just can’t, or won’t, answer the following question, which the writer says “stumps” them. The question is:

Phil Austin just died. He was a founder of the Firesign Theater who in 1971 produced “I think We’re All Bozo’s on this Bus”. Brilliant audio and the whole album can be heard on YouTube.
The central character asks the President (an animatronic character) the “Why does the porridge bird lay his eggs in the air?” question (a non rational supposition) to trip him up and access the power behind the facade.

Of course what I’d really ask is either “Do you believe in killing fetuses in the womb at any time?” or, “Would you faithfully adhere to the Constitution of the United States with allegiance to no other authority?”.

I’m also remembering some questions about Bosnia or Albania that were asked of a Republican candidate (can’t remember which) when Bosnia and Albania hadn’t been in the news for years… this is a typical way to get to Republicans ..questions a Dem will NEVER be asked.

First, the answer to their stupid question. “That’s easy, Chris. George Washington whose spirt and character of rectitude, self-restraint, executive excellence and sacrifice for his country lives on in our hearts to this day.”
I really need help to word this in a pithy way like Ed or it will never get asked! Ted Kennedy and Chuck Shumer introduced and Bill Clinton signed into law the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act of 1993 to strengthen our first amendment rights. Because it applies to the federal government only, many states have also passed those protections at the state level. Do you support strengthening these first amendment protections across the nation?

Baysider…ya, as much as we all like your answer, the interviewers (actually ‘drive by insulters with a microphone’) do stipulate “Alive” whether the pres is in our hearts to this day or not!
This is ALL about trapping any president who’d say George W……”GOTCHA!” It’ll only get much MUCH worse. Imagine if one actually said Clinton for the way he actually was able to pretty well play both sides of the aisle… “Republican picks DEMOCRAT..!” Oh, the fun they’d have.

Questions for Dems:
– Do you think LBJ’s creation of the welfare state by robbing social security funds was a success or not? Keep in mind that social security is not scheduled to be bankrupt by 2029 and the welfare state has turned into a gangbanger jungle environment accounting for well over 98% of all homicides in America.
– Do you think jimt carter’s creation of the federal department of education which is now infested with some good teachers, but mostly loser union incompetent sloths, has had a positive effect on education in public schools in America?
– Do you think jimmy carter’s shutdown of nuclear power alternatives has kept us breating pollutoin from coal plants for decades longer than it should have or not.
– Do you think jimmy carter’s immature meddling in the middle east has had a positive or negative effect on teh USA?
– Do you think the democrats constant lefgislation, such as Jim Crow laws, have had a positive or negative effect on race relations in the US ?
– Do you think clinton’s opening the flood gates to Chinese products in America that has put the vast majority of manufacturing jobs, commonly filled by unskilled workers who are now filling gang banger communities has had a positive or negative effect on America?
– Do you think that clinton’s refusal to accept bib laden into custory on 3 seperate occasions prior to 9-11 contributed or did not contribute to the massacre of innocent men, womnen and children on 9-11-2001?
– Do you think that clinton’s refusal to treat the attack on the WTC in 1993 and the attack and murder of 17 sailors of the USS Cole as military attacks by the moslems had a positive or negative effect on America, and do you think they contributed to the 9-11-2001 attack or not?
– Do you think that obama’s single minded attacks on American Christianity, while propping up moslem escalation on all levels in America will have a positive or negative effect o America?
– Do you think that obamacare which has already doubled the price of health insurance in America and hasn’t even yet begun to suck will be a good a bad thing for America?
Can you think of any life sucking problem facing America today that has not been created by the Democrat party members. ?

Aside from the amazing insight provided to us by Bro. Ed and Sis. Kid, which of course someone at the NSA is writing down right this minute and will no doubt, in the proper time and space, result in Sis Kid being invited to the next White House Rainbow Gay-La.
But as to the point of this post, I would like to ask of Hillary Clinton: have you always been lacking in integrity, or has this only been with you since 1972 when you realized how much money it is possible to make as a vapid communist?

Kid..here’s my fave “breating pollutoin” 🙂 I LOVE your questions, they are FABULOUS and I’m hoping against hope SOME Republican finds the sheer GUTS to actually ask those things of Democrats some day, somewhere…
EVERYBODY: I was talking to a friend tonight on the phone who told me she’s been hoping to start a business with her son but they had to put all the plans aside because the numbers didn’t work when considering the higher minimum wage; no deal. Also, they’re changing some tax laws which I didn’t understand but which are going to make it prohibitive …she told me but I didn’t quite catch it. Also, her company (SONY) had given her fabulous insurance after she left…but the $150 she had to pay a month suddenly went up to $350…when she called and asked “What the …?” they said “the mandates are getting too much…we have to raise everybody”
THanks, Obamacare….and he wonders why the Middle Class is suffering? IT’S HIM!!!
