in creating a victim class....or that they've been successful in playing to those who see themselves as victims....probably a little of each.

Yesterday there was some lively discussion about Hillary going to Rick Warren’s “church.” Couldn't get this out of my mind last night. Sometimes when things don’t make sense God will show you. Well this passage from II Timothy 4 kept running through my head so I read and reread and reread it.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Paul was writing to Timothy, a young minister. He warns Timothy as well as us about this time that will come “when they will not endure sound doctrine.” What is the doctrine of many so called preachers today? Health and wealth or the prosperity doctrine. This is dangerous. It plays out in many of these mega emerging churches. The Bible is no longer used. It comes down to you doing what you “feel” is right. Faith in what Jesus did at Calvary or His propitiation is no longer the only way to salvation. They have turned way from the truth and are following fables-false accounts.

 The Church, the Spirit filled body of believers, will withstand the gates of hell. The church , those groups meeting socially, will fail.

Change the rules & then threaten violence!! (IOW, I'm not all that impressed with the mental health of our esteemed "leadership" at the moment.)

No one had to do a poll to prove this to me. All our liberal
friends are truly nuts here in Austin. Austin is turning into the
San Francisco of Texas and its a shame. They all talk about how
much they HATE Bush???? I dont get it. But, we just say..."Know
you know how we felt for 8 years of Clinton". and that reallly
surprises them. They think everyone loved Billy boy. Its funny.
But we never let it get to us the way the mental liberal are today.

As well as being mentally stable, conservatives are also more generous than liberals.

Studies show that in all income brackets, conservatives donate far more to charity than liberals.  Both in time and in money.

So basically, I think this tells us that liberals are miserly nutcases. But we all knew that didn't we?

I normally get excited by the exercises carried out by those that enjoy the game of politics, and I would normally comment on the open thread starter question, but I have reached a point where I am losing interest in the day to day battles. Over the last couple of years I (and most of you) have seen small cracks in Conservatism that I thought I would never see. These cracks over time have turned into huge gaping holes and the only ones I blame at the moment are RINOS. 

So to all RINOS and RINO supporters, I say... shame on you! 

We have one more chance in the upcoming election. If you still consider your self a true Conservative do not help the other side by putting a knife through the heart of what Ronald Reagan started.

Even Rush understands who the real Conservative is in the present crop of contenders. If you can't trust Rush's judgement, who can you trust..... a RINO?

I'd prefer to see a poll on conservative and liberal, or even broken down issue by issue, even better.

I'm really a fiscal libertarian and social conservative.......AMERICAN......not Republican, not Democrat, not "of a political party."

I would like to be even happier than I am. One way would be to take me off the Social Security payroll deduction and let me keep that percentage, give me back all I've paid in (MY OH MY how much that money could have made me over the years if I had been able to invest it myself instead of having it seized against my will), and raise my salary by the percentage that my employer pays into it. Much more could be, but that's a good start!

Anyone want to bet that this was intentional? The school is now saying Christmas was "overlooked", and "inadvertently" left off. But here's what was included within the important dates: Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter and Kwanzaa.

No Christmas? "It was absolutely an error of omission," district spokeswoman Terren Roloff said. "In our efforts to be inclusive, we missed the obvious." Way to go, Spokane.

Now, I'm waiting for the ACLU to get into the act when Christmas is added back to the list. Takers on this bet, anyone?

AP- Venezuela's Chavez says no oil if U.S. tries to meddle in vote

President Hugo Chavez urged supporters to approve constitutional changes that he said could keep him in power for life and threatened to cut off oil exports to the United States if it tries to meddle in Sunday's vote. ...

Conservatives do not sit and watch such occurrences. Libs hope for disaster.

Sen Clinton: Distinguished Founder of Media Matters

sarcasmo's favorite Federal Judge Alex Kozinski (no, I don't agree with AK on everything, but he's awesome anyway) just got promoted. "One step left!" ;)

Seriously good facts in the article. He's Reagan's best appointment, I'm even-more convinced than before. The proof is in both his good humor and the number of his clerks who go-on to clerk for the Supremes (it's almost a flappin' minor-league in there, and I never knew it!). And for those who'd object to the idea of him corresponding with a death row inmate, I can tell you from personal experience that this Judge is willing to correspond with all sorts of people on all kinds of topics. Some of it will no doubt come up if/when he's nominated to the Supremes, and I'll be furious. He's a very good man, and a great libertarian legal intellect.

So SIXTY TWO percent of Democrats KNOW that they're NUTS???

Rush Limbaugh stated that of the top 5 Republicans running for the presidency, only one was a true conservative. http://www.fred08.com/ Rush then stated that the conservative was Fred Thompson.

[Quote] Is it speculation that drove the oil price above $90 last week, or is there something more fundamental happening..?

Well, as I have argued many times here before, I believe that the
oil price will rise over the medium term due to fundamental factors.
However, the major driver that has pushed WTI futures over $90 and gold
to a 28-year high is much more simple that supply and demand. It is a
basic human emotion. That emotion is fear…

Investors are scared.
They have been moving away from assets that are now seen as risky after
profligate and stupid lending in the US prompted a credit crunch.
Investors, both private and institutional have therefore been seeking
safety.

A Reuters' poll of 15 US-based fund management firms
showed that their allocation to alternative investments such as
commodities jumped from 1% percent in August to 3.2% in September. That
is a significant move. More >>
