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

They type of country we DO NOT want anymore:

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

Re Carson:
This morning I took shelter from the overhang of the Commissary facade and listened in on a conversation amongst other shelterers. Focus was on Trump and Carson. Eventually one of the guys who happens to know me asked my opinion.
Told him that Trump has finally peaked and will likely decline in some polls unless some other big dogs drop out, specifically Cruz, Rubio, or Bush. Said that the good doctor is just that: a good doctor, and that he doesn’t feel comfortable in a position of power beyond his own milieu. Lacks that Je’n sais quoi of aura, authenticity, confidence.
At that moment, the squall line passed and the rain stopped, rather like an end-punctuation mark, and everybody left. Oh, well. The young black woman standing beside me smelled really good, so there’s that as a consolation.

We blog and publicize that Canada under the new PM is paying people to breed at 3 times the rate America is. All you have to do is get there and revoke your US citizenship at the borrder by destroyung your passport as soon as you cross over and leave a notorized letter saying as much with the border people at the AMerican and Canadian side. It should alos be noted that the Canadian border people are all Conservatives and will deny any such thing exists. That’s because like the American conservatives, they have no compassion and don’t want to pay more taxes so you can be comfortable. Ignore them.

Thank you SIR. Carson is, absolutely, a very accomplished surgeon and he says all of the good things that a lot of people want to hear. In a more perfect World/Country he would be, exactly, what we would need. However, that is not where we are. It may be a [gender] thing about him; my significant-other and I have continuing differences to that affect. But if it comes to him or any of the scum that the other party seems to offer, make no mistake , I’ll be in his corner.
