Wanna Meet Rosie
April 6, 2007 - 16:44 ET by allanfHey Rosie, wanna come to a cabinet meeting?
Trh Trifecta
April 7, 2007 - 12:16 ET by BW222The perfect trifecta. What do these three people have in common? They have all been married three times. Wait until the opposition plays the video of Rudy informing wife #2 he was divorcing her (via a press conference).
There ya go! If you vote for
April 6, 2007 - 16:54 ET byThere ya go! If you vote for Rudy, you are really voting for his nobody adulteress wife! (And I say, adulteress, because she has yet to admit that it was wrong of her to date a married man and while she was still married too. And sorry, but the sweater over the shoulders, does not fool anyone, nor does such make a lady out of her.)
----Vote for Tom Tancredo in the Republican Primaries. Let's have a true Conservative to vote for in 2008!
Debra...
Debra...you have a problem with Vows being broken>?
April 6, 2007 - 17:06 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasMaybe you have a problem Debra, with vows being broken? Is that your problem. Tom Tancredo made a solemn vow...for term limits. Ooops...he broke that vow.
I realize you are off in King James Bible translation ONLYISM la la land which appears to have a road that leads to "Marriage and Divorce Determines Governing Capacity Retardo Valley" in which you obviously spend part of your time...but hon...one's sins aren't the sum total of their capacity to govern or else...you, me nor anyone else would be commissioned by God to serve their fellow man in such capacities ...fortunately the Lord hasn't made any such prohibition where you seem to want to institute one...maybe it was an oversight by God and you are stepping in to give GOD a helping hand? Sheeeeeesh.
Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!
Tom Tancredo is for term limi
April 6, 2007 - 18:01 ET byTom Tancredo is for term limits, Guy Arthur Thomas??? Seriously??? Wow! If that is true, then that is just one more GREAT thing about him. Please don't be offended, that I will look into this myself, to make sure that it is not missinformation.
As for your comment about divorce and sin, yada yada ---yes, everyone sins, but not everyone lives in sin, nor does everyone make a practice of such.
Debra...
Tell me you aren't serious....
April 6, 2007 - 18:09 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasPlease tell me you haven't begun promoting Tancredo without learning about the gross hypocrisy of his taking a VOW when initially running for office that he was for term limits and would keep his word and not go beyond the 3 term limit but magically announced that:
"He will no longer be bound by his pledge to limit himself to three
terms. Tancredo, who is seeking a third term this fall, made his
announcement in a letter to supporters that was posted on the Rocky Mountain News Web site and later obtained by The Associated Press"
While it is true he has not gone over the 3 terms he has abandoned HIS VOW of ONLY 3 terms. So Debra...the man BREAKS VOWS...let me guess...it is for a GOOD REASON and that makes it okay...so long as it isn't marriage and divorce....sheeeeesh!
P.S. Feel free to call me GAT...it is a bit easier.

April 6, 2007 - 18:48 ET byActually I think forced term
April 6, 2007 - 19:11 ET by Conservative VoiceActually I think forced term limits is a bad idea, I think the Executive Office has lost a lot of its power because of the two term limit. The people should be the ones who enforce any limit.
Can you imagine if Reagan was able to go 4 terms? There would not have been a 9-11, no Clinton, and possibly no wimpy President Bush Sr.
Glad to see Debra that you are at least consistent with Rudy.

April 6, 2007 - 20:15 ET bylol.., Conservative Voice. I am nothing if not consistent. :o)
ConVoi
April 7, 2007 - 08:38 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasI certainly agree that term limits are idealistic at best and highly impractical in reality and I certainly don't support them. It is interesting though, to watch TT make his solemn public vow and get votes based on his doctrine of term limits in such an absolute manner and then..."for the good of the country" he violates his own vow to his constituents. I notice that those who operate under a "Crusadership Mentality" (thank you R.B. Thieme Jr.) are always magically excused from their very points of crusadership.

Debra...
Reagan could not have made it
April 7, 2007 - 11:03 ET by MobiusStripReagan could not have made it through four terms, frankly, due to health problems. The two term limit was legislated- the voice of the people. Pure speculation as to what Reagan would've done or be able to do.

no respect for moderates
April 7, 2007 - 14:54 ET by Pragmatic-ManI have absolutely not one shred of respect for moderates. If they have not already noticed, the lines have been drawn. It is well past time to pick sides. The only excuse is being ignorant of your position, and we all have had to overcome our ignorance on the issues. But once the facts are on the table, where is a moderate but in the way?
I pick sides on issues....
April 7, 2007 - 16:01 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasIt is this very kind of overly simplistic elementary school level thinking that has brought the Republican Party to the level of Clowns like Sean Hannity who parrot true conservatives like Ronald Reagan and take his name in vain.
Though some issues are black and white, many are not. Each issue must be taken on its own merits. I gladly used the term Moderate. Yes I am quite Republican as well. But moderate for the very reason simpletons like Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and tiny internet discussion board crusaders like Debra "Bizzare King James Onlyism" Smith claim to be conservatives. Moderate means just what the Bible says, "let you moderation be known", tempered, not rashly picking sides without careful consideration.
I make no apology for thinking for myself. I do realize the inherent downfall in tagging myself a moderate is the fearful boos and hisses from a certain brand of sacred cow-worshipping conservatives but that is fine, I consider it akin to college aged hyper-idealistic libs booing anything in the role of authority.
Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!

Sarc used to have a great link to a test like we are talking about.
The following Scripture is in
April 7, 2007 - 21:26 ET byThe following Scripture is in no way saying that we should be in the middle on issues. If anything it proves what I am saying, that we are to 'stand fast' in the Lord. My 'moderation,' is that I do not go nuts with the things of this world, forgoing the things of God --instead I take the things of this world in moderation, and I remember the things of God and store up my treasures in heaven.
Philippians 4 : 1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I realize...
April 7, 2007 - 16:14 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasI realize you live in a world of absolutes on every single issue in your life, from the largest to the most minute, I don't. I am sure, as revealed by your Bizzare "King James Bible Translation Onlyism" beliefs that you are driven by some form of neurosis to believe every single issue, great or small, must be resolved and you must stand on the correct side of it...always...because in the world you have constructed in your mind it can only be that way...it is either right or wrong. Even toilet paper being hung is an issue with people like you. Something as simple as lacing a shoe has a "most correct" way. A form of neurosis.
It is the people like you in this world that constantly slam their head against a wall wondering why no one is paying attention to all the bleeding you are doing for your cause. Bang away. Long ago you chose to be an "absolutist" in life Ms. Smith, I expect little than a "Crusadership Mentality". Next please!

careful with bashing the crusades
April 7, 2007 - 16:34 ET by Pragmatic-ManCareful with bashing the crusades, Guy. They are responsible for the world as you know it today. Whtout them, the dark ages would have never transformed into the renaissance, and the new world would have been discovered by Muslims, not Christians. Dhimmis are not allowed such liberties as Columbus knew.
God may...
April 7, 2007 - 16:45 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasGod may use the evil of man to produce eventual good fruit but that in no way justifies the evil nor makes me sentimental toward it. As far as Muslims discovering the new world...I haven't the slightest inclination to believe it could have been so. They are nomads and not explorers, simpletons and intellectually inconsiderate, by and large, and they are not anglo-saxons whose history is demonstratively superior regarding discoveries and inventions and the increase of social structure and civilization. Had a few Muslims stumbled across this great land, I have no doubt a few of the migrants we call American Indians would have either killed them, or subdued them sufficiently to render them incapable of returning home to tell of their discovery.
Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!
crusades evil? think again!
April 7, 2007 - 17:15 ET by Pragmatic-ManGuy, the crusades were called in response to muslim aggression begun in 638 with the conquest of Jerusalem. Dhimmitude prevailed in the formerly Christian lands of the middle east until the Byzantines pushed back in the 960's and reclaimed Crete, Cilicia, Cyprus, Antioch, and parts of Syria, all originally Christian lands. But all of this was subsequently lost to muslim jihad again, as they slaughtered their way back to Constantinople. So in the late 11th century, the Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus appealed to Pope Urban II to help the eastern Church with defensive forces. Thus was the first crusade begun.
Regardless of any opinion that the crusades were ruthless, let me offer that after reclaiming previously Christian lands, muslims were allowed to live in peace within the lands, just not under islamic rule. Dhimmitude was not cast upon them. The status of dhimmi is strictly an islamic practice, subjugating non-muslims to a second-class citizenry, highly intolerant of any non-muslim practices, and extracting a heavy financial toll from the Christians and Jews.
You should read up on the crusades, Guy.
moderate: a cop-out
April 7, 2007 - 16:52 ET by Pragmatic-ManJust because I can decide where I stand on an issue, and follow conservatism does not make me an absolutist. I believe I am right, unequivocably, on all of my political issues. They follow a conservative agenda. Why should I respect you for being unable to decipher right from wrong? And since when is this anti-Christian tirade of yours become your mainstay? Why do you have a problem with the King James Bible, or the crusades?
I challenge you, Guy, to admit here, as a moderate (in your own words, someone who does not believe there is a right or wrong to every issue) that you are not right on some issues. List them please. If you are truly a moderate, then by your definition you must stand on the wrong side of at least one issue.
Man has the @ss Clown Virus hit you!
April 7, 2007 - 17:32 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasSeriously pal, you have a bad case of @ss Clown Virus. Are you really that stupid? First of all and least importantly is the King James issue. I never said I had a problem with it. I am referring to "King James Bible Translation Onlysims" which is a Cultic schism within Christian Fundamentalism and if you, before shooting off your mouth, did a bit of research, would know when referring to "King James Bible Translation Onlyism" one isn't referring to it because they have a problem with that transation but because of the issue itself which holds to some rather bizzare beliefs about the King James Bible Translation...but none of that is important to you...you know...things like researching the topic, learning about it before discussing it...just shooting off your mouth and trying to appear the Righteous Crusader rings your bell.
Secondly, your statement "I believe I am right, unequivocably, on all of my political issues" manifests a certain megalomaniacalism in your mentality. Again, a neurosis of sorts. But even more obvious is that you don't even know who you are by your own definition. You claim your ideology "does not make me an absolutist" but then immediately state your are right "unequivocably". Do you have any idea what unequivocably means? It means to be absolute..without any other possible consideration, yet you claim NOT to be an absolutist. DUH. Good lord buddy wake up and at least pay attention to what you are saying.
As far as the Crusades...yes I have a problem with them and if you are simply too stupid to realize their wrongfulness on many levels it isn't worth having a discussion and I will leave you there with your heretical theocratic doctrines.
As for being a moderate...the bible says, "Let your moderation be known to all men". I have applied this principle universally, which obviously includes my political philosophy. OR are you suggesting God is promoting "wrongsidedness" by teaching moderation. You @ss...being a Moderate means you temper your life so that it is reflective of consideration and not juvenille zealousness. And no I don't believe there is a RIGHT or WRONG on every issue...what an absolutely stupid idea.
Here is an issue, which is right, putting on your left shoe or right shoe first? Oh yes, it is an issue, a small one, a benign one but an issue nonetheless. Guess what, there is no RIGHT or WRONG. In fact, God has provided pretty clear boundaries in the Scriptures. They are pretty simple and decisive. However, within those boundaries his sheep live...his children are free...and expected to make decisions where there is no black or white.
Here is a brief story from Gary Friesen. Adam and Eve were in the Garden. God specifically said that they may eat from any tree in the Garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. One day Eve came to God and asked God which tree to eat of because she wanted to eat of the RIGHT tree. God made it clear again, it isn't which tree to eat OFF that I am using to set the boundary, it is the one NOT to eat of. Of the many to eat of...they are YOUR choice to make. Not such a black and white issue for Eve. Yes, God gives us choices to make based on principles and ever growing illumination (and it appears you have hit your zenith of illumination in life with your inequivocableness). We know where the boundaries are but within those boundaries are where we spend most of our time and where people like you bring cursing and damnation by trying to RE-DRAW lines for GOD and impose them on others in the name of God to suit you sense of absolutism. You would be suprised the number of things that I hold absolute for myself but I have not been given such liberty by God to impose upon others where God has not granted license for such crusading. I will leave the boundaries to God and enjoy the liberties he has given me for decision making. In the meantime, your bondage to absolutism will indeed make you a most miserable soul.
Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!
absolutism defined
April 7, 2007 - 17:57 ET by Pragmatic-ManAbsolutism: 1) the principle or the exercise of complete and unrestricted power in government. 2) any theory holding that values, principles, etc., are absolute and not relative, dependent, or changeable [dictionary.com]. So again, just be believing in my positions on issues does not (1) define me as having a principle or believe in the exercise of complete and unrestricted power in government, nor (2) define that my position is found from a non-relative, non-dependent, and non-changeable state of facts. It only means that I stand by my beliefs and will defend my position as right once I have reached a conclusion.
Secondly, your indignation, whether absolute or implied, against Christianity was not well received. It was, no matter how you spin it, disrepectful to Christians.
Thirdly, name calling is reserved for the juvenile among us, especially the vulgarities found in your comments. The rude language does not lend to your arguments.
Fourth, I will reiterate that your studies of the crusades are incomplete. Go back and brush up again. Read more than the book title. The cover opens, and knowledge is found therein.
Fifth, as for your moderate political stance, where is it written that you get an extra pass in politics, that just because you cannot make up your mind about conservativism, that I have to have some irrevocable level of respect for you? Hey, you are free to be a moderate, but I am also free to lose my respect for your political position. And in doing so, you call me names and bash my ability to hold fast to an idealism, to a politically partisan position, to conservativism. Why are you so intolerant? Just say you don't like conservativism and move on. Instead you poke me in the eye and call me nasty names. Why?
I'm not here to defend Debra'
April 7, 2007 - 08:48 ET by kathleenirishI'm not here to defend Debra's views but making a marital vow and making a vow to limit your time in office are not comparable.
I have a problem with serial marriages in this society, but I don't know if it really matters in getting the job of president. It looks like it's getting harder and harder to have any candidate who keeps any vow, though. Ironically, I think, Mitt Romney has had one real and true marriage and love in his life. His wife, Ann.
