https://tunnel2towers.org/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 SaroyanThe 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.

Well done, Ms. Fiorina–well done.
I enjoyed watching Couric’s facial responses to what Fiorina was saying. It was as if she was thinking, “Say, don’t confuse us with facts; just tell us what we want to hear.”

And “Let me ask you how you feel, I’m not asking what you think of the Obama administration’s …”

Two of the most stupidest things I’ve heard in the past 20 years: (1) a woman in California (Marin County, I think), said in a letter to her local newspaper “Why can’t people just go to the supermarket and buy their meat instead of hunting it with guns? That way no animals have to be killed.” And (2), “Look at all the fossil fuel that would never have to be burned if everybody drove electric cars.”

Heard another good one about electric cars:
On a radio call-in show, the DJ brought up the topic of disposing of the electric-car batteries. He had already mentioned the metals involved and how dangerous they could be in landfills or if left abandoned to simply decompose and wind up in the aquifer.
A caller said how stupid the question is because all they’d have to do is simply recharge the batteries.
Later that morning I mentioned the exchange while getting a cup of coffee in the faculty lounge. One of the adjunct instructors said, “I don’t see the problem.”

Carly appears to have burned a bunch of bridges with conservatives at Google+ … made a comment about how great Islamic civilizations were. This, of course, doesn’t sit well with people who do not even know who Ronald Reagan was, but if taken in context with the times (The Dark Ages), she might have a point if you completely discount Japan, China, India, and Texas. The question remains: does she think she can win with the Moslem vote? Seriously? Why even mention Islam at all?

I said earlier I’d like to see Trump for President and Carly for his VP. That way, she could capture the female voters, then be in line for Pres. after Donald. He is still our best bet for the mess that will be awaiting the next administration, and she could benefit from it, too. Did anyone hear Trump during an interview when he was asked if he might select a woman as his running mate, and his positive reply? And Carly is saying he is spot on with hi assessment of our problems. They now are being very civil toward one another for that reason, I believe.

Mustang, I’ve seen that, too…….the conservatives have gone NUTS over it….no surprise. One article about it said she had talked about being fearful for HP employees of Middle Eastern descent….perhaps this is why she went into this ridiculous diatribe.

After I did my 24 in the USN, I took my MA and began teaching at the local university (UWF). Taught several classes of dual enrollment and a few high-school AP classes, then did 14 years at the university, including Technical Writing, Poetry, Drama, Literature, and Comp 1101 & 1102.
Loved the job, but saw the signs of burnout approaching, so I retired before I became part of the problem instead of a factor in the solution. Don’t miss the administrivia and other frustrations, but I do miss watching those light bulbs go on when a concept or an association or a breakdown of ignorance occurred in students’ minds when I tied things together or led them to the light and they made the leap themselves.
The trick is to avoid convincing them of how profoundly YOU understand what you’re showing them and instead make THEM see the value of their culture, their heritage, their own intellectual potential. About as much fun as you can have with all your clothes on.
In truth, the most fun I ever had was an elderhostel semester seminar on creative writing. Class full of people who called ME “young man” (I was in my late 50s) and truly WANTED to be there listening to what I had to say. Some of them were pretty inventive, too. Good stories and poetry from several of ’em. Sharpest one of the bunch was a gal in her late 70s who had a well-developed naughty streak. Marvelous descriptive adjectives and other word choices, some of which were pure neologisms for the nonce and high-grade blush material for her grandchildren, I should imagine.

Z, You’re right. She did a good job handling the punk POS couric who IS totally focused on getting any republican to be a “global warming Denier”, which would immediately cancel them with the young retards who are hook line and sinker with the global warming scam. (Anyone still on board with that BS is certifiable.) She tried it with Cruz too and because Cruz is an admitted Christian, she kept pumping the idea that the Pope was on board with this scam Cruz didn’t bite. Cruz punked her too. Couric is such a POS. Frankly I hope when she interviews Trump, that he just stands up and puts one to her jaw, breaking it, causing a major concussion and turning her into a vegetable instead of an activist communist so she spends the rest of her days staring at a celing somewhere.
I have no problem getting rid of Coal. I do believe it causes health problems/cancers. But why are we not NOW building thorium/molten salt reactors which are 100% safe from meltdown (many other benefits) as we phase out the coal plants. I can live with people in W.Virgina having to migrate to new jobs and skills. The evolution of technology causes this to happen constantly in America. How many jobs did clinton send to Mexico and China !? And these Morons think repubs are the problem? It’s enough to make you laugh like a madman in a madhouse.
I was hoping Carly would have also mentioned that solar panel farms are also killing huge numbers of birds. Cooking them? Bliinding them? Don’t know but the birds are dying in large numbers.

bocopro….that’s why you write SO well in your comments. I wish I’d known I was a pretty darned good teacher before I’d done a completely different career…I sub now and LOVE IT and, believe it or not, the kids love ME and listen and we talk about the most fascinating stuff and one graduate last year said “mrs. Z, do you remember that conversation on illegals we had when you sub’d my Spanish class?…I still remember that and I was a freshman!” I didn’t remember at first, but finally did…this stuff is enough to be glad you lived for, you know? Four years later, she’s remembering 75 minutes talking with me and the small class on immigration. of course, you’ll laugh: the Spanish teacher said “we’re talking about immigration…don’t worry about not speaking Spanish…just get them talking about the subject” I said “are you sure you want ME to talk about THAT with these teens?” (the staff knew I was conservative) and he said “Go for it”. I was quite proud of myself; made some good points without getting too political…and, she apparently remembered.
I have even better stories than that. I LOVE TEACHING…. so nice to hear about your career..thanks!

Carly Fiorina’s conversion from Hillary Clinton fan to fervent critic:
… It was May 2008, close to the end of the long primary battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and we were discussing the two Democratic contenders.
At which point Fiorina, then a campaign surrogate for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, offered some unprompted praise for Clinton: If Fiorina hadn’t been backing McCain, she told me, she would have been for Clinton.
“That’s off the record,” Fiorina immediately added….

My response to the “perky” Katie Curic would have been: Climate Change, being blown completely out of proportion, is but a subset of a much larger problem; that being a population so bent on self-destruction that it chooses to be represented by one so, obviously, Hell-Bent on making that happen. And such concern is constantly being reinforced by the mere fact that this insanity could be continued, post the next General Election. That, Ms. Curic, is the “most pressing issue”!
