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.

Wrote this a week or so after the first GOP debate.
The Bard rethinks Richard III:
EVERYMAN
Now is the summer of our discontent
Made glorious pastime by this Don of Trump;
And all the fear that lurked within our speech
In the far corner of the dungeon banished.
Now are our brows lit with unspeakable truths;
Our battered goals recharged for argument,
Our buried dreams revived for contemplation,
Our old ideals their polish and luster freshed.
Smug unbought cheek hath stoked his cocky voice;
And now, instead of mealy-mouthing words
To satisfy norms of staid convention,
He disdains pledging his conformity
Whilst he funds his ride from naught but his own.
And he, not steeped in approved politics,
Nor apt to suffer bogus popinjays;
He, that to no PAC his allegiance owes
Nor bows to kings or entrenched lobbyists;
He, that disparaged the Foxy blonde Queen
Who used her beauty ‘gainst him as device
When ‘mongst his peers his habits she assailed,
In league with those who would him now expulse
As aggravation in stage performance
Of their refined practiced mantra chants;
No, he, in this sad declining time of slump,
Takes no delight in playing by their rules,
Except where law and circumstance dictate,
And returns two-fold the barb the question masks.
And therefore, since he cannot play a gop,
Or imitate the rehearsed well-drilled types,
He enjoys his role as provocateur
And says what we all think and they can’t say.

Which would win him MORE votes if only he’d not insult the handicapped journalist (again this week) or make idiotic insulting nicknames, or lie about knowing Putin … I can barely stand this man anymore. I’m so SO so turned off by FINALLY thinking “Well, he did that speech pretty well, maybe he’s turning a corner in behavior…” and having those hopes dashed EVERY SINGLE TIME and so profoundly. I had hopes Pence could help; instead, I’m starting to doubt Pence since he either can’t or isn’t 😦
Ed…WE know it doesn’t have to be true; it’s the huge amount of voters who don’t bother to think before voting, to seek the truth, which is more important…highly more important, sadly.

WHY can’t he just do speeches like the RNC great speech………talk like that, no insults, no name calling, no censorship of media, no insulting handicapped journalists (he did it again), etc…
He’s GOT the attention of Americans who WILL vote for him regardless.
Now he needs to get the attention of Americans who maybe COULD vote for him but are on the fence.
Without that, he’s toast. Someone needs to wake him up ….
And, please, I am NOT saying he shouldn’t stick to his beliefs and talk TOUGH…..just talk like a MAN, not a schoolyard bully whose vocabulary isn’t good and who gets ticked off at the slightest thing. PLEEEASE.

Bocopro, Trump can afford to be independent and even obnoxious ’cause without his vast wealth, he wouldn’t have made it. His wealth coupled with his celebrity image and lifestyle allowed him to rise above the other 16. I don’t know if Hillary can stand it. She knows he can’t be bought or intimidated like she has others. Deep inside she’s frustrated. Personally, I’m lovin’ it! It couldn’t happen to a more deserving woman.

No, I’m so weary of excuses for making fun of the handicapped, dumb little nicknames for adults who don’t agree with him…ugh.

Ah . . . racism! The “Get Out Of Jail Free” card for descendants of Africans whose ancestors were sold to Arabs and Europeans by other Africans and became voluntary victims for promotion of LBJ’s Great Friggin Society.
When I was growin up, we whitebreads tended to root for the underdog, the guy who’d been ignored or exploited or discriminated against by bigger, richer, more self-important assholes.
Then when I went to college in the late 50s I ran into people whom I found fascinating, guys so black they were downright purple, girls with shiny bits of geology stuck in their foreheads, kids with odd accents who spoke strange languages which fascinated me, Jews, Arabs, Chinese, Venezuelans, Greeks, Danes, Scots, Koreans, Turks . . . . . . .
And it was all quite educational, very stimulating, refreshingly exciting. I was a liberal, a romantic who’d been hooked on the allure of Maimiti in Mutiny On The Bounty, Anita (Rita Moreno) in West Side Story, Chelo (Katy Jurado) in The Bullfighter and the Lady, Suzie (Nancy Kwan) in The World of Suzie Wong, Bess (Dorothy Dandridge) in Porgy and Bess, Phaedra (Sophia Loren) in Boy On A Dolphin, and so on.
When I had the unusually good fortune to discover my dream girl in Southeast Asia, I also discovered the uncommonly good sense to marry and spend the rest of my life in partnership with her.
The Navy spent much time and effort in attempts to overcome my adolescent liberalism and turn me into what today is called a “white privileged” racist, what with its intense “multicultural” training and constant reminders that people of color had been treated horribly by Europeans throughout all of known history.
At first I resisted the Navy’s and society’s resolve to instill guilt and a sense of shame into me for being born Caucasian. But I’m now getting old, and after half a century of constant reminders, accusations, and condemnations, I’m ready to accept my white man’s burden and at least admit that I am indeed a racist.
I mean, once I look at the facts, my racist ideas become crystal clear. First of all, my standards for physical female beauty are firmly and permanently anchored in Southeast Asia and have been since I first set eyes on Dorothy Lamour in a sarong and all the other exotic oriental beauties in those darkened theaters back in the 50s.
African girls are measurably better athletes in the track and field events than Caucasians.
Korean girls are much better golfers than European girls.
Mexican girls make much better MMAs than Gringo girls.
Brazilian girls are infinitely better at Mardi Gras dancing than NorteAmericano girls.
Japanese girls consistently outperform American girls in school.
Filipinas are friendlier and more courteous than Murkan chicks.
Scandinavian girls always look better with a tan than with their natural tone.
Italian girls’ cooking is considerably tastier than their U.S. counterparts’.
Indian (subcontinent) girls are infinitely more mysterious than white girls.
Yep! I’m a racist. I appreciate women who are different, who are fiery, who are exotic, who have some color in their skin, who view the world from angles a few degrees oblique from mine. I admit it. I embrace it. I revel in it.
As for guys . . . ehh, who gives a sh– what color they are as long as they’re not setting stuff on fire or yelling “Allahu Akhbar!” or trying to mimic 3rd graders and calling it music?

I had hoped once Pence came on that Trump would stop the childishness..sad.

“Capitol HillAwry is a political satirical game where the objective is to collect as much money through email donations as possible while maintaining a decent approval rating in the polls.
Once you have booted up your server you will begin to receive various emails and spam. It is your objective to delete any confidential information off of the server by swiping the emails to the right. Removing confidential emails will improve your poll rating. You will also receive political donor emails, which will help earn you money through speeches and foundation donations. Be sure to swipe those to the left to respond. The more donations you take, the more your poll rating will go down and if you do nothing with the emails, they will eventually expire and have consequences. Good luck, and try not to get caught deleting your emails! After all, you would not want people to know that capitol hill has really gone awry.
All of the “Confidential” emails in this game have been populated using the officially declassified and released State Department Benghazi emails and all of the “Political Donor” emails and satire is based off foundation donations listed on the Clinton Foundation Donors page. All content is drafted, written, and edited by professional satirist and woody award winner David Ross.”
