Oral Roberts Dead: Televangelist Dies At 91
Commented Dec 15, 2009 at 19:17:57 in Home
“"Don't lay up treasures for yourself on earth," Jesus Christ unambiguously taught. Oral Roberts, and his family and followers, have done just the opposite of what Jesus Christ taught. Where's the Christianity in that?”

“BINGO!!! lay it on all the televangelist!”

“American Christianity for the most part has little to do with the Teachings of Chr!st!”

“You are correct. I think Oral Roberts legacy will probably not be a good one.”
Chris Brown Lashes Out At Stores That Won't Stock His CD
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 22:43:32 in Entertainment
“Oh, poor baby. As if Chris Brown's not rich enough already from making mediocre music. The hearts of millions of Americans who have to work *real* jobs -- or lost them and are struggling against foreclosure, hunger, homelessness and loss of health insurance (and thus health care) -- are bleeding for you. Boo-hoo.”
George H.W. Bush On Joe Wilson: 'How Low Have We Gotten Here?'
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 22:37:58 in Politics
“Ask yourself honestly, George H.W. Bush: "What have I and my family done to American politics to let things get to this gutter level on the part of the political party to which we belong, and what can I and my family do to repent of the damage we've done and repair it, for the common good of all Americans?"”

“Actually, he said "Change you can count *on*," not "*with*," gakabani. You either weren't paying attention or are intentionally distorting his words. No points for your poor attempt at being clever in your partisan propaganda.”
Bush E-mails Found: 22 Million Missing E-mails From George W. Bush White House Recovered
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 22:29:37 in Politics
“Twenty-two millions missing e-mails is not a "standard IT issue." It's an attempt to blockade and destroy information.”
AnotherAngle replied on Dec 14, 2009 at 22:47:36
“Why don't you read the entire story before regurgitating your thoughts.
"The tally of missing e-mails, the additional searches and the settlement are the latest development in a political controversy that stemmed from the Bush White House's failure to install a properly working electronic record keeping system."”

Obama Birther Joke Featured On North Dakota GOP Homepage
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 22:27:31 in Politics
“Ask yourself, North Dakota: is the GOP accomplishing as much good for your state's economy, educational system, public health and social services as it is in bringing up unsubstantiated "birther" conspiracy theories and other divisive rumor-mongering so much?”

Angry Driver Crashes Truck Into DMV

“Very funny, ghee99. I encounter plenty of attitude problems (not "attitude problem"), waste, inefficiency (not "inefficency"), inability to protest and general unpleasantness in health care now -- privately run and accountable to no one. Instead of sticking to the old GOP canard that "government ruins everything," consider how well it runs police departments, fire departments, paramedic squads and other public safety operations on which we all depend. And get some tutoring in English while you're at it.”

...have you ever had to deal with the police department bureaucracy?
not to mention the crooked cops, the rampant racism, the sense of entitlement, the "bully" mentality, the arrogance, the graft, and their propensity (at least where i live) to hang out in groups of 4-8 cops in front of 7-11 for hours on end.
Here in LA the last time i called them (about a drugged out crazy roaming the hallways of my building, trying peoples doors to get into their apartments at 3am) they took over two and a half hours to arrive, after i buzzed them in, they just looked around the lobby, didnt talk to anyone, and then left.
hardly a well run force.
as for me being GOP,
if you had bothered to read my post you wouldve seen that i voted for obama.
you are generally rude, and your condescending attitude is most unwelcome.
when you focus on spelling errors, instead of ideas, thats a good sign that you have a weak argument.”

“Being angry about something doesn't give you the right to break the law by damaging the property, harming the bodies or disrupting the lives of others, Averal.”
Averal replied on Dec 14, 2009 at 11:42:47
“Never said it did. Being angry causes some people to do stupid things.
As the anger level rises in America (there is ample cause) you can probably expect to see more of this kind of behavior. Maybe the question the author of this article should be raising is why the DMV is often cited as the most loathed division of government that most people have an opinion about?
While I personally agree with many opinions on Huffington Post, I will state that having conducted business with various government entities I have found that most (not all, but most) Civil Servants are neither servile nor civil. They give off an aura of self importance that is neither earned nor justified.”

Liz Cheney Accuses Obama Of Slandering CIA In Nobel Speech: 'Shameful'
Commented Dec 13, 2009 at 23:59:59 in Politics
“Ms. Cheney, now your vitriol is slipping into mere nonsense that nobody needs to hear. Quit your tiresome act. America is busy trying to regroup and recover from the damage it sustained under the Bush administration. Your father ought to be able to defend himself if he was so in the right. His children running interference for him is a sheer embarrassment.”

“Senator Lieberman, stop obstructing democracy. If you can't act on the will of the American people, step down and find another line of work more suited to your self-centered interests. Your turncoat act as a political weather vane grew tiresome long ago.”
Jim DeMint: 'I Need Some New Republicans' (VIDEO)
Commented Dec 10, 2009 at 10:47:23 in Politics
“How strange, Mr. DeMint -- you never spoke up for "constitutional government, a balanced budget and liberty" when the Bush administration was hacking all three of those principles to bits for eight years. You were mute as a fish then and went along with their dismantling. As for "the Republican Party having gone to the left," how much more to the right would you like it to go -- dressed in brown shirts and goose-stepping in formation, perhaps? Wake up to the smell of your own hypocrisy and stop the rhetoric, already. Humble yourself and serve the common good of America, rather than your self-serving partisan agenda.”
Hipsters, Hasidic Jews Fight Over Bike Lanes In Williamsburg
Commented Dec 09, 2009 at 16:55:51 in New York
“It would be much cheaper for everyone if Hasidic Jewish males afraid of spotting a "hottie" would just turn their God-given necks and avert their gaze, rather than expecting everyone else to spend money and labor on street alterations to cater to their own peculiar take on their non-Hasidic neighbors.”

“That is the problem with extreme religions. THEY are never responsible for avoiding sin. The rest of the world just has to conform to their 14th century ideas so that they are not tempted. That's what burkas are all about. It's women's fault if men can't control themselves. Never has made any sense to me.”

“And regardless of how much evidence believers are confronted with, GodIs, most will refuse "not to judge lest they be judged, nor condemn lest they be condemned" (Luke 6:37), just as Jesus taught. No, they will go right on pointing out the speck of sawdust in the eyes of others, while blithely ignoring the plank in their own (Matthew 7:3-5) -- some even making that the mission of their lifetime.”

“Too little, too late, Mr. Sullivan. Your hands are dirtied by the soles of the shoes of American neocons and right-wingers, to whom you have been giving an uncritical (and at times inane) boost lo these many years. Your credibility is shot, given how you turned a blind eye and didn't see the forest for the trees during the eight years of the previous presidential administration.”

“Because their strict sexual mores are utterly unreasonable and should be denounced as such, that's why.”
iPhone App For Worshipping Ronald Reagan

“Doesn't the conservative "religious right" know that worshiping anybody but God is idolatry? Reagan was a B actor in both Hollywood and the White House, a man of quips and sound bites, whose policies put this country in hock -- which we're paying for dearly now. Mortgaging the future as he did was never a good idea.”

“Cry us a river, Mr. Murdoch. For years now you've been buying up media outlets and squelching independent, professional, investigative journalism to force-feed the public your distorted, twisted and amateurish propaganda to advance an agenda of greed and exclusion. Do you really think you're entitled to own the whole world or have your (and only your) voice heard? Well, here's a scoop for you: you're not, so get real.”
Rick Warren Refuses To Condemn Proposed Ugandan Law To Execute Gays
Commented Nov 30, 2009 at 16:57:17 in Politics
“Rick Warren says "It is not my personal calling as a pastor in America to comment or interfere in the political process," yet he has made his livelihood by doing precisely that, whether in America or abroad, under the cover of religion. Imagine him making that statement back in the 1940s about Jews being sent to Nazi death camps. Wouldn't there have been public outrage and moral indignation over such a cop-out? In refusing to stand up for the right to life for any and every human being -- created in God's own image, according to the Bible -- Warren dishonors and disobeys the prime directive of Jesus Christ: "Treat others the way you want to be treated" (Matthew 7:12). His stance is thus anti-Christian.”
