The way this lightening fast operation was executed, and with the number of Russian troops and military equipment, it obvious that it took many months of planning. I would even say that this operation was being put together way back when President G. W. Bush was gazing adoringly into Putin’s eyes and seeing “a kind man and good friend.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Just the fact that the Russian military is still violating the cease-fire agreement that was brokered by France, and they continue to drive deeper into Georgian territory, the fact that they bombed the Georgian airport and sunk the entire fleet of the Georgian Coast Guard, should be an eye-opener as to Russia’s true plans, the total take back of all of the former Soviet Union satellite countries. Why do you think the Russian government is DEMANDING the removal of Georgian President Saakashvili? What right does &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; have to demand the removal of the democratically elected leader of another country?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;If anyone still has any doubts, ask yourselves why Putin was so adamant against the Polish/U.S. plan to have a missile defense system on Polish soil? This missile defense system would not have been aimed at &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;; its purpose was to be a defense in the event that &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; launched a missile attack on any European country. This of course would have had a detrimental effect against Putin’s plans of invading and re-annexing &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Poland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in the near future. Today it is &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Georgia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;; tomorrow it may well be the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Ukraine&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Ukraine&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has applied for admission to NATO, as did &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Georgia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Putin is dead set against NATO admitting any of the former Soviet Satellite countries into membership, which leads me to believe that the only way the U.S. and Europe can protect the Ukraine is to move ahead and make the Ukraine a full member of NATO right away, because according to the NATO pact agreement, an attack on any NATO member country is an attack on all NATO member nations, which would mean that if the Ukraine were a member of NATO and Russia were to make a move on the Ukraine, the rest of the NATO member nations would be obligated by treaty to come to the Ukraine’s defense, (&lt;i&gt;this is why members of the German Air Force helped patrol our skies for a few months following the 9/11 terror attack&lt;/i&gt;). This is the last thing that Putin wants, since it will prohibit him from attacking and taking control of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Ukraine&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Even though Putin is no-longer President of Russia, he manipulated the election process of Russia so that he would be made Prime Minister by the new Russian President, Dimitry Medvedev, so that in essence, Putin is still the one in control of the Russian government, and having been the head of the former KGB under the old Soviet Union, Putin is one leopard that cannot change his spots. Just look at the recent past with all of the murders and arresting of Russian journalists, including one right here in the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, while Putin was the President, and his clamping down on free enterprise in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and all dissent against him, one cannot deny Putin’s true intentions.

Kaine said: “&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in.

font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;For years I, along with many other Conservatives have been trying to warn people that it would be folly to grant concessions to evil people such as those who demanded the removal of prayer from school, those who advocated for women’s right to murder their unborn children and those who demanded all sorts of special legislation for gay rights. We tried to warn one and all that if you start granting these rights, it will not stop there, because once these groups won a little, they would start demanding more and more, putting this country on the slippery slope to complete moral decay.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Our legislatures and our Supreme Court caved in as the Conservatives were branded as liars and fear mongers. The atheists got their way and prayer was removed from our schools. &lt;b&gt;What was the result?&lt;/b&gt; All traditional Christmas carols and Christmas school plays are now banned from the schools. Christmas displays and music are no longer permitted in most public squares, and even the wishing of a “Merry Christmas” to fellow employees or customers in most work places is prohibited. The Courts and legislatures caved in to the abortion rights groups, who promised that abortions will only be allowed in the first trimester and only if the mother’s life would be in danger or in cases of rape or incest. &lt;b&gt;What was the result?&lt;/b&gt; Today, abortions can be performed at any stage of the pregnancy including right up to the actual birth of the child and for whatever reason the mother wishes. The courts and the legislatures caved in to the gay rights groups when they demanded special legislation to protect them from discrimination in housing and employment. &lt;b&gt;What was the result?&lt;/b&gt; Once they were granted those special laws, they then demanded and won the right to be foster-parents and to adopt children, and from there they have demanded and won to have their unnatural and disgusting life-style taught in our public schools as being something to be honored and esteemed the same as the heterosexual life-style, and they are demanding and in some cases winning the right to get legally married and to prance around in public half-naked (and in some case, completely naked) while putting on filthy displays of perverted sex acts during what they call “Gay Pride Parades”, like there is something to be proud of in their filthy perversions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Well, you would think that was all bad enough, but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;NOOOOOO!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt; Now the sodomite fags and lesbians in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; are demanding even more, and if they succeed in getting it there, you can be sure it will come to your home State as well.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Of what am I speaking? The legislators want to tell school children to celebrate homosexuality. Their plans will require “suitable commemorative exercises” to honor Harvey Milk, a gay sodomite. Exactly one year after outlawing all negative messages about homosexuality in public schools, the State of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California Legislature&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; is now demanding that school children celebrate “gay” life-style choices.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;If this filth is signed into law, Bill AB 2567 will mean that there must be an official day commemorating homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality in all &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; public schools. This will bring devastating moral harm to all children in &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;, as young as kindergarten. Every May 22, AB2567 will mean that teachers must positively portray to their students in all grades, homosexual experimentation, homosexual “marriages,” sex-change operations, and anything else pertaining to homosexuality.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Passage of this abomination by lawmakers will require all &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:State&gt; public schools to “conduct suitable commemorative exercises to honor the anti-religious, sexual-anarchy agenda of Harvey Milk, the late gay &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;San Francisco&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; supervisor who was a homosexual activist.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Already, this year, the California State School Board implemented SB 71 which requires public schools that provide sex education to promote unmarried sexual activity with no restraints other than mutual consent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Now, I want each of you to be totally honest with yourselves and your God and ask yourselves: “What will you do if this garbage comes to your State, and is enacted by your lawmakers? Will you be willing to finally rise up in armed revolt or would you just sit back and say; ‘Oh well, there is nothing I can do’, and wait for others to do something?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It is one thing to try and cope with all of the problems that have hit me all at once in a short span of time, but to make matters worse, today is the 48&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; straight day that my little town of Webster, NY has been hit with torrential down pours accompanied by sever thunder and lightening. These downpours start suddenly and last for at least two hours. They come either in the mornings, afternoons, evenings or late at night, often without warning. As I sit here and type this, we are experiencing just such a storm and if this keeps up, I fear we will experience flooding, which will be the icing on the cake.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 153, 255);"&gt;Poor Munchkin is close to suffering a heart attack because the thunder scares the be-jeepers out of her, since it is so loud and ear splitting, it literally rattles the windows.

While in a bar, a Native American Indian entered and sat on the empty stool next to the Norwegian and spoke to him in a friendly manner saying: &lt;i&gt;“Look, lets have a little game. I’ll ask you a riddle and if you can answer it, I’ll buy you a drink. But, if you can’t answer it, then you must buy me a drink.

It was Odinga’s (Odinga is a Muslim) protests following his political lose to the U.S.-backed Mwai Kibaki in the 2007 Kenyan presidential election that led to a horrific wave of tribal and religious violence that threatened to rip the country apart.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The violence that Obama’s friend Odinga was responsible for, included the wholesale slaughter of some 50 Pentecostal Christians.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;During Obama’s first visit to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Kenya&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; as a U.S. Senator, Barack openly campaigned for Odinga, to the point that spokesman for the Kenyan government, Alfred Mutua, loudly accused Obama of inappropriate meddeling in Kenyan presidential politics. There have been assertions that Obama and Odinga are cousins, and it is known that Barack’s father and Odinga’s family belong to the same Luo tribe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Odinga made the unsubstantiated claim that he lost the election due to voter fraud by Kibaki. Odinga’s accusation led to widespread fighting that resulted in the death of more than 1,000 people and leaving more than 350,000 Kenyans homeless. In one horrifying incident, at 50 people including women and children were slaughtered by an angry mob of Muslims who forced the Kikuyu Christians into an Assemblies of God Pentecostal Church, locked them in and set the church on fire, hacking with machetes any of the Christian victims who tried to escape the flames. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;During the final days of the New Hampshire Democrat primary, following the post-election violence in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Kenya&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, Obama told news reporters that he had telephoned Odinga, and he sided with Odinga saying: “Obviously he [Odinga] believes that the votes were not tallied properly.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Further evidence of Obama’s Muslim connections is a video that shows Obama’s direct involvement in Kenyan politics to support Odinga, but there is also a second video which shows a press conference held by the Muslims who signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Odinga. There is absolutely nothing on record or otherwise to indicate that Obama ever withdrew his support of Odinga, even after Odinga signed the agreement with the Muslims in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Kenya&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;In this agreement, Odinga who claimed to be an Anglican Christian promises to pursue an undeclared radical Islamic political agenda, should he become president.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Do you need more proof, there is this? Palestinian brothers, Monir Edwan and Hasom Edwan, inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack’s presidential campaign. Donations of this sort are a violation of our election laws, including the prohibition on receiving contributions from foreigners as well as guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;In an on line form on Obama’s campaign site, the Edwan brothers listed their street as “Tal Esaltan,” which they claimed was located in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Rafah&lt;/st1:City&gt;, &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;GA.&lt;/st1:State&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; There is no city named Rafah in the State of &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Georgia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.

Then of course, the next question should be; “If Obama is elected, just how much of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will be left after four years?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJo-NTDNLiI/AAAAAAAAF1s/yIKRqdtxQ9E/s1600-h/D_Children+of+the+World+B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJo-NTDNLiI/AAAAAAAAF1s/yIKRqdtxQ9E/s320/D_Children+of+the+World+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231562315317194274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Brush Script MT&amp;quot;; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;      Pretty as a picture&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067789544889946103-5107693034065491188?l=fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/feeds/5107693034065491188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8067789544889946103&amp;postID=5107693034065491188&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/5107693034065491188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/5107693034065491188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/2008/08/thursday-stuff-27.html' title='THURSDAY STUFF - #27'/><author><name>Abouna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10492976686803243121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/163/402228367_901cbdf54e.jpg?v=0'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJo_4nfL8JI/AAAAAAAAF2M/raj7NjiwemI/s72-c/E_Thursday.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067789544889946103.post-3585361244704078595</id><published>2008-08-01T20:49:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T21:22:43.677-05:00</updated><title type='text'>MUNCHKIN'S SATURDAY CORNER - #67</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJO94VXt5VI/AAAAAAAAF1k/E8k7K5Y40eg/s1600-h/blogtop.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJO94VXt5VI/AAAAAAAAF1k/E8k7K5Y40eg/s320/blogtop.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229732367814223186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJO9puWLMxI/AAAAAAAAF1c/N5CpJkMe7RE/s1600-h/Wishful+Thinking.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJO9puWLMxI/AAAAAAAAF1c/N5CpJkMe7RE/s320/Wishful+Thinking.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229732116820603666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18pt; color: rgb(204, 51, 153);"&gt;Munchkin Discovers Secret to Muslim Violence!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(255, 51, 153);"&gt;Hey peeps, you read that correct, little ol’ ME, your friendly neighborhood pint-sized Toy Fox Terrier has single pawedly discovered what makes Muslims so damn violent. It is all due to their being sexually oppressed and frustrated, and that is also why they hate Western culture so much. Read on for the details.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I know, some of you are thinking that I have been hanging around my Daddy too long and have lost my mind, but hear me out and see if the pieces don’t fall into place. Now let me explain and educate you along the way.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;In Muslim countries that are under Sharia Law, women are not allowed to fraternize with members of the opposite sex if that person(s) are not related, such as their brother, father, husband, son, etc. To violate this law could result in severe punishment that may range from being lashed to death by stoning. Now, for those of you who may have received your education in the public school system, to fraternize could mean sitting together in a coffee shop, riding together in a car or just standing and chatting on a street corner.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Also, under Sharia Law, when a woman appears in public, she MUST wear a head scarf, or if the country is really strict, she must wear a burka which looks like a glorified gunny sack, that covers the poor women from head to foot. This makes it rather difficult for one to flirt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;But, as bad as this is for the females, what sort of effect do you think this has on the males, the poor horney twerps? These poor guys grow up with no idea of what a woman looks like, other then their mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters, if they are lucky.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Now, if a man in a Muslim country fraternizes with an unrelated woman, he isn’t treated as harshly as the woman (I guess because the law feels that the sexual frustration the man goes through is punishment enough) and that sure can put a damper on picking your future wife, if you don’t know what she looks like ahead of time, and all of your prospects are being lashed and stoned. If she is stoned, of course she dies and you can’t marry a corpse, at least not if you are in your right mind, but if the one you had your eye on is just lashed, that leaves some pretty ugly scars and that sort of thing will turn a lot men off.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;So, the result of all this is a whole population of horney and sexually frustrated men who, from the time they enter puberty until Allah calls them home, spend most of their time alone with Miss Palmina and her five sisters, getting angrier by the minute as they seek ways to vent their anger and frustration, voila! Suicide bombings and beheadings, yea, that’s the ticket.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Now, the religious police in Saudi Arabia have decided that they must ratchet up the sexual frustration a notch or two for their own perverse pleasure (the little sadist bastards). Normally, these religious cops just concern themselves with bullying women into covering up and making sure that men get their butts to the mosques on time for the prayers, but now they have decided to go after dogs and cats. NO! NOT TO MAKE THEM WEAR BURKAS! But rather to frustrate the human population even more.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;How, you ask? Here is how: The holy schmucks called religious police have issued a decree banning the sale of pets, which they claim is a sign of Western influence. Now wait, stick with me, because this gets better.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The Muslim ban on dogs is really not much of a surprise, because conservative Muslims hate us dogs and view us as being unclean, geeze, look who is calling the kettle black, have you ever smelled a sweaty Muslim, especially after they have scarfed down a mess of garlic? Peeeew!! But the ban on cats (ban as many of them as you want) is kinda puzzling when one considers that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon his pea brain) supposedly loved cats.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;You see, the religious police, known as Muttawa, (that’s the sound a camel makes when it up-chucks) besides having the duty to enforce Saudi Arabia’s strict Islamic code, by prowling the streets and malls to ensure that unmarried men and women do not fraternize, the government also gives them free reign to come up with and enforce whatever laws they deem necessary to maintain social order, so they figure that owning a cat or dog is a threat to social order, but why? Well, it appears that one of the reasons, besides the Islamists feeling that just like fast food joints, shorts, jeans and pop music, pet ownership smacked of Western influence, but they claim that men have been walking their pet dogs and cats in public to entice women into conversation and flirting with them, and that has got to stop.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;So, think about it, if you weren’t allowed to flirt and pick your own mate, wouldn’t you want to blow things up and cut people’s heads off? That is why they hate the West so much; it isn’t because we don’t worship Allah. It is because people here get to do all the things they cannot. The only thing is they have been so screwed up in their heads, that instead of blowing up their Mullahs (another sound made by a camel when it farts) and Mosques, and throwing off the yoke of their oppression and frustration, they want to force us to be as oppressed and frustrated as they are instead. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJO9fnLGzII/AAAAAAAAF1U/EI-A2kzw1jw/s1600-h/Munchkin+B.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SJO9fnLGzII/AAAAAAAAF1U/EI-A2kzw1jw/s320/Munchkin+B.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229731943096437890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;There you have it in a nutshell.

Americans should send a strong message to both the Democrat and Republican parties that we will not vote for any candidate who refuses to honor and uphold the principles of the Constitution and to honor the national sovereignty of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; If a large majority of Americans were willing to send such a message, this could very well become a history-making year in the politics of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;If we continue to accept the failed, mediocre candidates that are foisted upon us by the two major political parties, we will continue to elect candidates that represent lowest common denominator of acceptability, which is what the idea of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ means, and it leads to a continued decline of standards of leadership. This is why we end up with morons like Pelosi, Reid, Hillary, and the utter disappointment that G.W. Bush turned out to be.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Neither McCain nor Obama are any where near qualified for the office of President, and both of them will lead this nation down the wrong path, further from our uniquely American concepts of self-government, personal responsibility, national sovereignty and individual rights.

But, McCain is really not much better since many of his views on major issues actually mirror those of Obama, and McCain has already stated that if he is elected, he will &lt;b&gt;“work with Nancy Pelosi.”&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;When Gerald Ford was president, the only thing he stood for was business as usual. Being sick of the corruption in &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;, the people elected Jimmy Carter and stuck with a Democrat dominated Congress. After four years, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;ns realized their mistake. Our prestige was in the crapper, our economy was a total mess and Americans were being held hostage in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; while the Soviets were on the march all over the world. Jimmy Carter himself realized that there was a deep “malaise” that was affecting the whole country; the only problem was that he didn’t even have a clue that he was the one who caused it. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The Americans wised up and knew who to blame, which is why they elected Ronald Reagan in a landslide victory, which would never have happened if they hadn’t gone through the pain and shame of Carter’s failed policy and leadership.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Now, let us suppose that McCain is elected in 2008 and as a foregone conclusion; the Democrats maintain control of both Houses of Congress, we won’t really know who to blame for the resulting failed policies that will be the result. Of course, we all know that the Democrats will place the blame squarely on McCain so that in 2012, we either have a President Hillary Clinton or President Obama. So, in reality, a McCain victory in 2008, just delays the day of reckoning.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Also, if McCain wins in 2008, he will make sure that the Republican Party morphs ever closer into the Democrat Party as McCain forces it to become ever more bi-partisan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Actually, I feel more and more every day that McCain really doesn’t seem to want to win the election, because his campaign has all of the oomph and spirit as a pair of my dirty socks lying on my bathroom floor, and he seems to be going out of his way to disrespect the conservative base of the Republican Party.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Therein lays the rub, because that leaves us with Obama and we all know that he totally lacks experience, and the very short time he spent in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, along with the quick visits to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Germany&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;France&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;England&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, does not count as foreign policy experience. Also, with his ideas for domestic policy, he will tax us into oblivion and turn us into the Socialist States of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and there may be no coming back.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

running the asylum. Morons and complete idiots have taken over every aspect of governmental control of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, from the local and State level all the way to the upper echelons of the federal government. If you doubt this, just take a look at some of the laws, statutes, regulations and official policies that have already been enacted and those that are awaiting to be voted on in city councils, town boards, State and national legislatures, then ask yourselves, “Would normal intelligent individuals vote for such crap?” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is being steered down the path of destruction by a bunch of insane dweeps that put all together, don’t have the mental I.Q. of an amoeba. I have to concur with Dr. Lyle Rossiter, an eminent psychiatrist, who states; “Liberal ideology is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=56494" target="_top"&gt;&lt;span class="klink"&gt;mental disorder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;” Rossiter says; “Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled angry children, they stomp their feet and rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a ‘nanny state’ government meet all their needs from cradle to grave.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Do you honestly think that if our ‘esteemed’ legislators really understood human nature and had even a modicum of common sense, would create a society with rules and laws that over-regulates and over taxes the nation’s citizens, and morally and ethically corrupts their character and reduces them to nothing more than wards of the state – the way the liberals do?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Here are a few examples of what I mean:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;A.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt; As the cost of a barrel of oil kept climbing, those in charge said, “We need to look toward renewable energy resources, such as bio-fuels,” thus, farmers started selling the bulk of their corn and wheat crops to be used to make bio-fuels.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;Result:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt; The cost of all food products started climbing through the roof, especially meats, butter, milk, cheese, etc., why? Because there were less feed grains to feed livestock, so live stock feed prices rose, which affected the price of meats and other products.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;B.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;What caused crude oil prices to rise in the first place? Well, those in charge said that there was an increased demand for oil by developing nations, such as &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;India&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, which caused the increase in price for oil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;Yes, but who was it that demanded that we help other nations, such as &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;India&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, to become developing nations? &lt;b&gt;OUR GOVERNMENT!&lt;/b&gt; Why didn’t they stop to think that if &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;India&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, along with other third world countries became “developed”, that it would put an added strain on the world’s energy resources?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;C.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;With every “free trade” agreement that the imbeciles in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:City&gt;, &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;D.C.&lt;/st1:State&gt; signed, they kept telling us that free trade and competition was good for &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s economy and good for business. Now please forgive my stupidity, but doesn’t free trade mean that we import goods from other countries without levying high import taxes on their goods, and they import goods from us without levying high import taxes on our goods? Well, apparently I am wrong; it means that our manufacturing companies move to the country that we signed the free trade agreement with, to take advantage of cheap labor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;Result:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;More and more American citizens lose good paying jobs, while the lower paying service oriented jobs are given to illegal immigrants, and the standard of living for all Americans goes down.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;D.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;This one is rich. As the price of gasoline climbed to over $4.00 a gallon due to the&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;rise in crude oil prices, those in the know and in charge, informed us that in order to bring gasoline prices down, we all needed to cut way back in our driving to reduce the demand for gasoline, so, like dutiful citizens, we complied. According to recent statistics on Fox News, Americans have driven several billion miles less over the past month, which has caused gasoline prices to start coming down.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;Result:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Our government now says that “Since people are filling up their gas tanks fewer times, we aren’t getting enough money in gas tax revenues to repair roads and infrastructure.” So what is their brilliant solution? Raise the gasoline tax which will bring the price of gasoline back up, putting us right back where we were, &lt;b&gt;“high gas prices.”&lt;/b&gt; What is the matter; they can’t cut all of the useless ‘pork barrel’ spending instead and use that money toward road and infrastructure repair? Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot, that would require thinking to reach that conclusion.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;E.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;Now here is a scary one for you, especially in light of the fact that the liberals are pushing for &lt;b&gt;“UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE”&lt;/b&gt;. This is from the State of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;. &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; has a State subsidized health care system. They also are the only State that has legalized ‘doctor assisted suicide’. A man who is a citizen of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; has a deadly form of cancer, which requires ‘chemo-therapy’. The man’s doctor says the patient “may have a chance of living five-years” if he has the chemo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;After submitting an application for the State funded insurance help for the chemo, the man received a letter from the health insurance system, telling him: “Chemo-therapy” is far too expensive for us to pay for it considering that you ‘may only have a five-year life expectancy, so therefore, we cannot pay for it. However, we will be more than happy to cover the cost of your doctor-assisted suicide, if you wish.” This is not made up folks; it was on Fox News this morning.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 65.25pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;The State of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:State&gt; is now contemplating enacting a similar system and both &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:State&gt; and &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:State&gt; are trying to influence the State of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; to do likewise, so as to “add legitimacy” to their systems of health care.

Now, before any one starts to call me cold hearted or whatever epitaph they choose, let me make it clear that I DO NOT condone the shooting in anyway, shape or form, and my prayers go out to the families and friends of those who were slain, but let me also say that I am not surprised, and I believe that we will see many more of these.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I am also fully aware that here in America, we have freedom of religion, which I am absolutely in favor of, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;BUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;, it is my deep belief that NO church has the RIGHT to call themselves “Christian”, when they have a total and absolute disregard for the teachings of Holy Scripture or that feels that they can treat the Bible as a smorgasbord by picking and choosing what they will accept to believe and still call themselves Christian.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;According to reports today, on Fox News, Jim D. Adkisson, the accused shooter, purposefully targeted this particular “church” because of his professed hatred of the liberal agenda, homosexuals, etc.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;We have a Unitarian Universalist church about five miles from where I live, and I can assure you that even though they often claim to be Christian, and they have Christian hymnals, copies of the New Testament, and their “ministers” wear Christian style stoles, they are far from being a Christian Church.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They perform ‘same-sex’ marriages, they support a woman’s right to murder their unborn children, they support the practice of ‘euthanasia’ (doctor assisted suicide) and they very often co-mingle various religious practices, such as witchcraft (Wicca), nature worship, Buddhism, etc. They even have condom dispensers in their restrooms. This so-called church has a lot in common with the type of One World Religion that the UN would like to set up.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;As I said, I do not condone this shooting for whatever reason, but as I have stated in a previous blog posting, with the constant pushing for the forced acceptance of homosexuality and other forms of immorality, we will be seeing a lot more of this type of violence, as people are getting fed up with watching our once beautiful country being destroyed by liberals and their filthy and immoral agenda, and as they force their agenda onto every one, and if it continues, there may also be an escalation of the violence, as decent people snap and fight back in the only way they know how, because we certainly are not winning through the ballot box.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;It is not something I want to see happen, but when liberals and their various demon possessed organizations (such as ACLU, Planned Parenthood and Gay rights organizations, just to name a few) manage to get all sorts of laws passed to keep Conservatives from ever winning a single battle, and we are unable to win at the polls, then it is just a question of either submitting or fighting back in whatever way one can.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SI6CdwilLEI/AAAAAAAAFx8/D6KwKvjqa4g/s1600-h/button_unchanging.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SI6CdwilLEI/AAAAAAAAFx8/D6KwKvjqa4g/s320/button_unchanging.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228259665181486146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067789544889946103-4939296014821957542?l=fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/feeds/4939296014821957542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8067789544889946103&amp;postID=4939296014821957542&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/4939296014821957542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/4939296014821957542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/2008/07/tuesday-lesson-in-civics-53.html' title='TUESDAY-LESSON IN CIVICS #53'/><author><name>Abouna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10492976686803243121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/163/402228367_901cbdf54e.jpg?v=0'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SI6DL30wIPI/AAAAAAAAFyM/3ROBau9qWVc/s72-c/Lesson+in+Civics.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067789544889946103.post-599499269652426956</id><published>2008-07-27T20:29:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T20:38:40.682-05:00</updated><title type='text'>MONDAY MADNESS - #51</title><content type='html'>&lt;a title="Click here to get cool comments, glitter graphics, funny photos and more cool MySpace stuff!" href="http://www.zingerbug.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 178px; height: 51px;" src="http://www.comments.zingerbugimages.com/Days/Monday/3d_monday_gold.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Lucida Calligraphy&amp;quot;; color: rgb(255, 0, 102);"&gt;Just to take a much needed break from all of the bad stuff in the world today, Munchkin and I have decided to dedicate today’s posting to my special blogger friend, “the local malcontent”, who recently got engaged, and to his&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;fiancé Ms. Leti.

This proposal &lt;b&gt;DEMANDS&lt;/b&gt; that the president develop and “implement” a policy to cut extreme global poverty by half through aid, trade, and debt relief by the year 2015.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Even though the Global Poverty Act sounds warm and fuzzy on its face, if it is implemented, it could result in the imposition of a global tax on the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and we would become subservient to the dictates of the U.N., concerning the levels of our foreign aid spending. Implementation of this bill will not only sap our national sovereignty concerning how much we must spend on foreign aid, but it would further weaken not only our national sovereignty, but also our Constitutional rights, as it will force the United States to adopt ALL of the United Nations Millennium Goals, which includes a plethora of treaties and protocols being pushed by the U.N., and one of these is a global ban on all small arms, meaning an end to our Second Amendment Right.

I couldn’t figure out if he is running for president of the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; or Leader of the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Also, he failed to pay a visit to our sick and injured troops in the military hospital at nearby Rammstein and Landstuhl, preferring the roar of his adoring German public instead.

According to their survey, 75% of Americans believe that homosexuals who are open about their sexual orientation should be allowed to serve in the military, a figure that is up from 62% in 2001.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The president for the Center for Military Readiness, Elaine Donnelly, states that there are several flaws in the poll. She says, “One of the biggest flaws assumes the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;validity&lt;/span&gt; of Bill Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which is not the 1993 law passed by Congress that strictly forbids homosexuals from military service.” Ms. Donnelly says the poll should have been worded: “Should the military require as a matter of policy forced co-habitation between homosexuals and heterosexuals in all military units?” “If they had asked the question that way, I believe they would have gotten a different answer.” Donnelly also said that the poll should only have been given to members of the military – not to the civilian population as a whole.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;My opinion on this is, if the homosexuals are so adamant about serving in the military, then put them in a unit of their own and place them on the front lines. Perhaps they can be called the Pansy Brigade or the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(204, 153, 255);"&gt;Lavender Chargers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SIfdc71h-TI/AAAAAAAAFv0/VtgsFDOId_0/s1600-h/amused.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SIfdc71h-TI/AAAAAAAAFv0/VtgsFDOId_0/s320/amused.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226389381755042098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067789544889946103-3611581631724431653?l=fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/feeds/3611581631724431653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8067789544889946103&amp;postID=3611581631724431653&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/3611581631724431653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/3611581631724431653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/2008/07/thursday-stuff-25.html' title='THURSDAY STUFF - #25'/><author><name>Abouna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10492976686803243121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/163/402228367_901cbdf54e.jpg?v=0'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SIfeZ63HbwI/AAAAAAAAFwE/ZAzyrPgSVfE/s72-c/Thursday+Stuff.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067789544889946103.post-1172378932047449418</id><published>2008-07-23T00:24:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-23T00:35:50.759-05:00</updated><title type='text'>WEDNESDAY MUSINGS - #27</title><content type='html'>&lt;a title="Click here to get cool comments, glitter graphics, funny photos and more cool MySpace stuff!" href="http://www.zingerbug.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 201px; height: 292px;" src="http://www.comments.zingerbugimages.com/Days/Wednesday/blessed_wednesday_angel_reflection.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SIbBfnIKnYI/AAAAAAAAFvs/j93kNCAxOl4/s1600-h/FMA+Breaking+News.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SIbBfnIKnYI/AAAAAAAAFvs/j93kNCAxOl4/s200/FMA+Breaking+News.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226077166433377666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;COULD IT POSSIBLY BE TRUE?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;Document forensic expert claims: “OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS A HORRIBLE FORGERY.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Could it be possible that technically, Barrack Obama is not eligible to hold the office of President of the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The birth certificate in question was published by the Daily KOS, a far left liberal website, on June 12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; in response to some unconfirmed reports that Obama was not born in the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;United   States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.

The things that this boy was doing, how he was dressing, etc., were never dealt with properly, not by his teachers, not by the school administrators, not by any of the counselors who saw him, and most certainly not by child welfare services. This young boy needed some real drastic help, but what he got instead was liberal affirmation of his abhorrent behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;After reading the article, please back click to return to this blog to read my commentary on the article.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Please click here for the article:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                             &lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/147790&amp;amp;GT1=43002"&gt;http://www.newsweek.com/id/147790&amp;amp;GT1=43002&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;MY COMMENTARY:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;You all know my view on homosexuality by now. As an Orthodox Catholic priest, I believe God’s Word, when He says; “If a man lies with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination in the eyes of God,” and all of the other references in Holy Scripture that says homosexuality is a sin, but I do not condone the cold blooded murder of anyone.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Larry was a truly troubled boy who came from a very troubled background, and I believe that if the school officials and other authorities had given him the psychiatric help he needed, instead of operating under “politically correct” rules and mandates, perhaps Larry would be alive today.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I’m sorry, but homosexuality is a disorder and even if one does not believe in God or a religion, commonsense tells you that homosexuality is not natural. The very concept of two males or two females boinking each other is too disgusting and vile to even contemplate. Being gay is not something to be proud of, nor is it something to be upheld as a wonderful alternative life style. Despite all of the political correct pressure being put on society, forcing us to accept homosexuality and to be tolerant of it, I am afraid that even though a vast number of heterosexuals will say that homosexuality should be accept and that they see nothing wrong with “same-sex” marriages or that they support same-sex unions, I can assure you that deep down in side, that is NOT how they really feel. They are just as disgusted by it as I am, but they refuse to say so out of fear of being branded a bigot or homophobe, and the possibility of facing hate-crimes charges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;If even young children feel revolted by having a same-sex playmate coming “on” to them, despite the fact that they are being taught in school that they must accept homosexuals, should tell you something. No amount of liberal politically correct laws enacted, can force anyone into accepting and tolerating that which goes against nature and morality.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Pass all the laws you want, but I guarantee that you will see many, many more deaths like Larry King’s, because deep down inside, people are disgusted and revolted by all of the “in your face” flamboyant homosexual behavior. Why do you think Matthew Shepherd was so brutally murdered? It wasn’t so much because he was gay; as it was that he was out in a bar and trying to hit on guys in the bar. Any normal heterosexual male who is hit on by a gay male, especially in a public place and in front of his friends, would find the action to be so repugnant and embarrassing to the point that they react violently, and this goes for teens and pre-teens. It may not be right, but it is a fact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I honestly believe that it is time for society to start re-thinking how we should react toward homosexuals. When it comes to pedophiles, society treats them like criminals, tossing them into prison and forcing psychiatric help on them and going so far as to harass them in society, even though many of them “were born that way”, yet when it comes to homosexuals, they say “We were born that way”, so society is then forced to pass laws giving them all sorts of special “rights”. This has got to stop or I can guarantee that society will start to see more and more murders of homosexuals, both kids and adults.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The blood of young Larry King is not only on the hands of fourteen year-old Brandon McInerney, but also on the hands of all those who remained silent in the face of liberal political correct madness.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 47.25pt; margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;Remember, the Bible does say;

Each time one person says something stupid, the rest of the guests and the host sit there and giggle like a bunch of moronic imbeciles.

text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;House Speaker Nancy Botoxi claims that liberal democrats aren’t getting a fair shake, because Conservative talk-radio shows have such a wide listening audience, so she wants to bring back the “fairness doctrine” which will force conservative radio talk-show hosts to give ‘equal’ time to liberals. Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, just who do you and your side kick Reid think you are kidding? You know, we all weren’t born yesterday and thank goodness, a large portion of us didn’t get our brains fried while in the public school system. We know darn well that what you really want is to trample on the free speech rights of conservatives, by shutting them up.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;If you were so concerned about fairness, how come you don’t go after the MSM; ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and the Print media? They are so blatantly biased toward the liberals and that bias is getting worse by the day. Even Fox News, which started out being ‘fair and balanced’, seems to be leaning toward the left lately. A case in point concerning Fox News, whenever Barack Obama gives a speech, Fox news covers it in its entirety, whereas, whenever John McCain gives a speech, Fox only covers small portions of it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;As for the MSM, when McCain makes a trip to Iraq or Afghanistan, there is little to no coverage, but now, when Obama Messiah makes his trip to Iraq and Europe, all of the anchors of the ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., news shows are all clamoring to travel with him. Where is your fair and balanced?

Several of the panelists claimed that if the employer was paying for part or all of the employees’ health insurance, that the employer had the right to fire overweight employees and to dictate what an employee does off the job.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Okay, then how come employers don’t fire employees who engage in the homosexual life-style? After all, homosexuality is an extremely risky and dangerous life-style that more often then not, leads to HIV/AIDS, and the health care costs for the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS patients is astronomical. It is even more costly then the health care costs for obesity and those who smoke.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;

I also posted an article about a homosexual sodomite who is in the process of suing two Bible Publishers for a total of $70,000,000.00, claiming that they deliberately misinterpreted the Bible to make homosexuality a sin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Now, it is evident that there is a much bigger push going on here in the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; to ban the Bible and in essence, outlaw Christianity. A major &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; city has officially condemned the Catholic Church, but those of you who belong to various traditional Protestant and Baptist churches, better not think it won’t happen to you. This is how it started in Nazi Germany. Adolph Hitler and his henchmen started blaming the Jews for all of their ills. This condemnation of the Jews started out a little here and a little there, slowly spreading into a holocaust that claimed the lives of 6,000,000 Jews in the “death camps”. In the beginning, the Jewish people remained silent, dismissing Hitler’s words as of being no big deal, until it was too late. I pray that Christians of all denominations will not make the same mistake. Do not let political correctness and a false Christianity cow you into silence.

So, as you can plainly see, the majority of citizens around the world are being stomped on by a small minority of the world’s population (gays only make up 10% of the world population).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;We constantly hear the fags complain how Christians are intolerant and hateful, but I ask you, who are the real intolerant and hateful ones? If these attacks on Christians keeps up, I am afraid that there WILL be a backlash against the gays and lesbians that will lead to gay bashing like this world has never seen, and they will have only themselves to blame. As the Bible says, homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God, but the various churches and our courts have bent over backwards to placate the queers which, I believe, has brought condemnation on our nation. It was bad enough when our highest court legalized the whole sale murder of millions of innocent unborn children, but now we have city after city, state after state giving their legal approval to a sick, disgusting, vulgar, and totally unnatural life-style. Why do you think &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt; is slowly being reduced to ashes, while many other parts of the country are being destroyed through more and more violent tornadoes, hurricanes and floods? Why do you think the economy of this nation is going down the crapper? Scoff and deny all you want, but it will not change the fact that this country is facing a warning and if we allow the continued forced acceptance of homosexual filth to permeate our society, and as long as we continue to allow the wholesale destruction of our future citizens, things WILL continue to get worse until we either turn back to those moral values, the laws of Almighty God, upon which this nation was founded, or until we are completely destroyed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;But it gets even worse:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;It is bad enough when we have the Islamists and the sodomite fags attacking Christianity and attempting to have Christianity declared illegal, but it is worse yet when we have Church leaders themselves attacking the very religion and church that they are leaders of.

If the TRUE Christians do not have the moral and spiritual backbone to stand up and fight back, even if it means having to throw your priests and ministers, who insist on preaching false and feel good gospels, out on their collective asses, do you honestly think Jesus Christ will accept you?

&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;We hear a lot, especially around election time, about &lt;b&gt;PATRIOTISM&lt;/b&gt;. Everyone claims to be a patriot, but what exactly is a patriot?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;To put it in simple terms, a patriot is someone who loves his/her country, supports his/her country, and someone who is willing to serve his/her country. In short, patriotism is love and loyalty to one’s country.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;On a deeper level, patriotism is much more then just a love for one’s country. Patriotism also includes a love for your country’s customs, traditions and having pride in its history, and a devotion to the welfare of the people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;On the other hand, patriotism is &lt;b&gt;not &lt;/b&gt;having a blind devotion to the government, whereby one obeys everything that the government tells you to do, no matter how bad or immoral. Those who deliberately set about to destroy, change or do-away with the moral values upon which we were founded, such as enacting laws to make same-sex marriages legal, are not patriots. Those who deliberately set about to dumb down our children in our public school system through the re-writing of our history and the forcing of “politically correct” thought control on our children and society are not patriots. Those who sacrifice their unborn children on the altars of abortion clinics, depriving our country of future citizens and workers, are not patriots. Patriots do not burn or trample on their nations flag just because they do not agree with a particular policy of the government.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Men and women who have been appointed to don a black robe and sit on the bench of the highest court in the land are not patriots when they give approval to laws that grant rights and freedoms to those who participate in immoral acts and life-styles.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Politicians and elected officials who violate the Constitution of America on a routine basis are not patriots. Any politician and/or elected officials who served in the armed forces, even if they earned medals and citations for bravery and heroism, have sold out their patriotism when they push for laws and advocate policies that do more to aid foreign countries and illegal immigrants then they do for the legal citizens of this country. They are not patriots when they sign trade agreements that end up costing American citizens their jobs or that lower the standard of living of Americans. They are not patriots when they propose higher taxes so that they can “give” benefits to those who haven’t earned them. They are not patriots when the sign treaties and agreements that diminish or do-away with the national sovereignty of our country. Any politician who plans on changing our form of government from a &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Constitutional&lt;/st1:PlaceName&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Republic&lt;/st1:PlaceType&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; with a democratic form of government into a socialist/communist form is not a patriot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;A politician running for the highest office in the land, who lies to the American people about securing our national borders, and who then ignores the will of the people and speaks before an organization of radical racists, promising them that he will go ahead with pushing for “comprehensive immigration” laws that will include amnesty for illegals and increasing the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country, at the cost of legal American citizens, is not a patriot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;It speaks volumes about the lack of patriotism of a politician running for the highest office in the land, who refuse to place his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance, or (even though in itself is not a sign of patriotism) who finds he has to make lame excuses for not wearing a lapel flag pin.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt;

   &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 47.25pt 5pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;During the early years of the Church, Christians were viewed as criminals and faced persecution on a daily basis. They were tortured and executed by the thousands. Those who escaped execution were forced into slave labor for the rest of their natural and short lives.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 47.25pt 5pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;This sorry state of affairs lasted until the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. In the year 313 A.D., &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Constantine&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; along with his co-Emperor removed all onuses from Christianity by the Edict of Milan. Christians were now free to worship openly. And by taking the personal step to convoke the first Ecumenical Synod (&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the Council of Nicea&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) in 325 A.D. he began the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Roman Empire&lt;/st1:place&gt;’s unofficial sponsorship of Christianity, which played a major role in the spread of the Christian faith.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 47.25pt 5pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Over the centuries, with the exception of some scattered countries, Christians enjoyed freedom of religion in relative safety. But there is a very good possibility that this could shortly come to an end, should certain elements within the United Nations have their way.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 47.25pt 5pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;There are dozens of nations dominated by Islam that are pressing the U.N. to adopt an anti-“defamation” plan that would make Christians criminals under international law.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 47.25pt 12pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Christians around the world are being increasingly targeted and persecuted, for their religious beliefs, and one of the largest organizations within the U.N. is pushing to make the situation even worse by promoting anti-Christian bigotry. This anti-Christian discrimination is being camouflaged under the guise of a U.N. resolution called ‘&lt;b&gt;Combating defamation of Religions&lt;/b&gt;’.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 47.25pt 12pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;This sham of a plan has been submitted repeatedly to the U.N. since about 1999. It started out as a plan to ban “defamation” of Islam, but was later changed to refer to “religions”. It is now being pushed by the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference nations, which have adopted the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, which states, &lt;b&gt;“All rights are subject to Sharia law, and makes Sharia law the only source of reference for human rights.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 47.25pt 12pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;What is interesting is that in those nations that follow Islam, the practice today is to use such laws to protect and further Islam while giving justification to attacking religious minorities with severe penalties up to and including execution.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 47.25pt 12pt 27pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;What should be most worrisome to Christians around the world is the fact that laws which are based on the idea of “defamation of religion” actually help to create an atmosphere of violence.

First of all, there is no Constitutional right to commit vile unnatural acts, and second, the publishers did not misinterpret the Bible. The Bible is the WORD of God and it states very plainly that if a man lies with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination in the eyes of God. In the Old Testament, the penalty for such a vile act was death. So just because we don’t take your reamed out butt out to a field and stone you to death, does not mean that it is ok to do what you are doing. Even if our courts pass laws making it legal, it is STILL an abomination and therefore a sin in God’s eyes. To those of you that think that Jesus has made homosexuality all right are sadly mistaken, because even &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;St. Paul&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, in the New Testament condemns homos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Fowler’s two separate suits against the publishers claim the intent of the Bible &lt;b&gt;‘revisions’&lt;/b&gt; that refer to homosexuals as sinners reflect and individual opinion or a group’s conclusion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;(&lt;b&gt;Hey faggot, did you ever stop to think that your interpretation reflects your individual opinion or just the conclusion of a group of fags?&lt;/b&gt;).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Fowler says the &lt;b&gt;deliberate&lt;/b&gt; changes made to first Corinthians, chapter six, verse nine caused him “or anyone who is homosexual to endure verbal abuse, discrimination, episodes of hate, and physical violence … including murder. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;(&lt;b&gt;Fowler, you morally bankrupt sodomites are the ones who are deliberately changing the verses of the Bible to fit your despicable and unnatural life style.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Fowler, who is acting as his own lawyer, claims that the publishers are misinterpreting the Bible by specifically using the word “homosexuals”, which made him an outcast from his family and contributed to physical discomfort and periods of demoralization, chaos and bewilderment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;(&lt;b&gt;Perhaps you are an outcast from your family because they are not proud to have a sodomite as a son, and the physical discomfort, periods of demoralization, chaos and bewilderment was due to your own guilty conscience because of your sinful life.&lt;/b&gt;)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(0, 204, 255);"&gt;I do not feel the least bit sorry for you, as long as you choose to live such a filthy, vile and unnatural life style.

All that the majority of the American people knew about Obama is that he talked a good game and that he was for “CHANGE.” To the brain dead liberals, this was enough for them to elect him to be the Democrat nominee for the highest office in the land. But now, slowly, the real Obama is beginning to emerge from the dark-side into the light of day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;We are beginning to see the true Obama and no thanks to the MSM. We are getting it straight from “the horse’s mouth”, so-to-speak. We can get a glimpse of the real Obama through his own words in his books, and stuff he says in his speeches just by checking out &lt;b&gt;YOU TUBE&lt;/b&gt;, and his latest “foot-in-mouth” gaff is really the ‘cat’s meow’. Forget the fact that the rest of the world is learning to speak English, Obama wants our children to learn Spanish! Our citizens have already been dumbed down by our screwed up education system with all of the liberal ‘warm fuzzy’ feel good programs, now Obama wants us to forget about our culture and be prepared to be assimilated into the Hispanic culture which is headed toward a community near you because the liberals are more than happy to turn a blind eye to the millions of illegal immigrants who keep pouring across our border. Rather then take steps to rectify the situation by enforcing the immigration laws which already exist on the books (heaven forbid, if we did that, we would be branded as racists), the liberals would rather that we just simply learn the language of those who will conquer us just by their sheer numbers. Check this out:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BZprtPat1Vk&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BZprtPat1Vk&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Tell me that wasn’t just one hell of an asinine speech. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Yes sireee, Obama has one foot in his mouth and his head up his ass. As far as I am concerned, Obama is proving that he is NOT ready to be president of the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;U.S.&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is not ready for him. Our kids do not need to be told that they must learn Spanish, hell, most of them today, are unable to speak, read or write proper English, and unless they learn to do so, they cannot become contributing citizens of our American society.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;When one stops to consider that English has become the “universal” language of international business, one can see why those in other nations learn English. Only in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, a nation that was founded on English would a left-wing nut case like Barrack Obama tell Americans that their children should learn Spanish.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Oh, I know why, Obama is just looking out for our well-being.

The guidelines are designed to draw attention to potentially-racist attitudes in youngsters from an early age. Child care workers must be alerted that even babies cannot be ignored in the drive to push for all inclusiveness and toleration while rooting out prejudice, since infants can “recognize different people in their lives.” It appears that the bad teeth of the Brits have affected their brains.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The NCB warns that failing to pick up on the racist attitudes among their little charges could instill prejudice, and that no racist incident should be ignored. It is necessary to be specific in condemning the action. Nurseries and play centers are encouraged to report as many incidents as possible to their local council. There you have it, if the little bastards don’t eat their curry or hot chili peppers, report them to the council and have their little butts shipped off to a re-education camp.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SHK6DP0mUiI/AAAAAAAAFj4/X3gl4Qtx9yI/s1600-h/stupidity+B.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SHK6DP0mUiI/AAAAAAAAFj4/X3gl4Qtx9yI/s200/stupidity+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220439483025347106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20pt; font-family: Verdana; color: red;"&gt;More Stupidity from &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;England&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(204, 153, 0);"&gt;TWO BOYS PUNISHED FOR REFUSING TO PRAY TO ALLAH!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Two seventh-grade school boys were punished with detention and their classmates were forced to miss their scheduled refreshment break, because the two boys refused to kneel and pray to Allah during a religious study class.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Outraged parents called the punishment a breach of human rights.

I understand that they have to learn about other religions, I can live with that, but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn’t join in Muslim pray. Making them pray to Allah, who isn’t who they worship, is wrong and what got me was that they were told that they were being disrespectful.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Could you imagine what would happen if Muslim students were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion?

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SHFnpelkjzI/AAAAAAAAFjY/6D8R48QYl8Q/s1600-h/man_with_empty_pockets_lg_clr.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

 &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;It all began at 9:00 am on Thursday morning. I drove to my bank to make a small withdrawal of my meager funds, and then hit the expressway to make the 12 mile drive to my son’s home to pick up my grandkids. Munchkin assumed her usual position in my lap with her head sticking out the window, enjoying the sights and smells.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I was driving along at roughly 55 mph, when suddenly; the front of my car began to shake violently, making it almost impossible to control the steering. Then I began to hear an unusual noise coming from the driver’s side front wheel, and at the same time, the steering problem became worse. As I looked for a safe spot to pull over, I was able to reduce my speed to 10 -15 mph, which made the noise coming from the wheel even louder.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;The next thing I knew, a car pulled up alongside me, matching my speed and the woman in the passenger side frantically pointed to my wheel and shouted for me to pull off the road right away. I finally managed to do so, and as I shut off the engine, I began to smell a very strong odor of gasoline.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;When I stepped out of the car, I saw the front driver’s side wheel cocked at a slightly unnatural angle and a huge puddle of gasoline forming under my car under the gas tank. The folks who warned me, called a tow truck for me and I had the vehicle towed to my son’s shop. He discovered that someone removed two lug nuts from the wheel and loosened the rest of them. The wheel was barely hanging on when I pulled off the road, but that wasn’t all, there were two holes punched into my gas tank. So, even though I can’t really afford it, I have to spend much of Monday searching for a used gas tank, in good condition so that my son can install it for me. He also has to replace the rim on the car because there was a good bit of damage done to the original one.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I ended up having to borrow a car from my son in order not to disappoint my grandkids. I made out a police report, but it is highly doubtful that they will find the culprit(s). They do know that it was done at the apartment complex where I live (saw gasoline on the ground beneath where I park, but none of my neighbors saw anything, which leads us to believe that it was done sometime between 2:30 am and 6:30 am on Thursday, as I usually go to bed around 2:15 am and don’t get up until 7:45 am.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;I have to thank the Lord for riding with Munchkin and I, and I am thankful that my grandkids weren’t in the car at the time.

WHEN IT RAINS, THAT OIL RUNS INTO RIVERS AND CREEKS. YET A CUP OF OIL ON THE GROUND AT OUR WELL-HEAD IS A $50,000 EPA FINE PLUS ADDITIONAL FINES FROM STATE REGULATING AGENCIES.

font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Either he lost his frigging mind, or John McCain is nothing more than a bold faced liar. After his little conspiracy with Ted Kennedy to shove amnesty for illegal immigrants, down our throats and we rose up against it, McCain tried to tell us that he has seen the light. While campaigning in &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;South Carolina&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:State&gt;, the “born again” McCain said, “I got the message. We will secure the borders first then go on to other issues.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;In essence, McCain thumbed his nose at the American people as he engaged in behavior that can only be described as “kissing up” to illegal immigrants and Hispanic voters.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;In one hell of a flip-flop in an effort to outdo Barack Obama, when it comes to trolling for Hispanic votes, McCain once again promised that he would make Immigration Reform, which includes a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, his “top priority” if elected president. His ideas on immigration reform are a carbon copy of Obama’s.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Earlier this month, McCain met behind closed doors in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Chicago&lt;/st1:City&gt; to meet with Hispanic leaders to discuss &lt;b&gt;RECONQUESTA &lt;/b&gt;and the peaceful surrender of the American southwest back to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Mexico&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Click here to read the story:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.phxnews.com/fullstory.php?article=60011"&gt;http://www.phxnews.com/fullstory.php?article=60011&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;That wasn’t McCain’s only sell out event. He gave speeches before Hispanic racist groups such as &lt;b&gt;LA RAZA&lt;/b&gt;, which should be cause for him to be tried for treason instead of being measured for his inaugural tuxedo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;What I don’t understand, is why would a courageous man who almost gave his life for &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Vietnam&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, now be fighting so damn hard for &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;’s destruction?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;Is McCain a downright liar or is he suffering from Dementia?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 5pt 38.25pt 5pt 0.25in; text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SGmStBZaE0I/AAAAAAAAFiY/77VTgPbnyRU/s1600-h/amused.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SGmStBZaE0I/AAAAAAAAFiY/77VTgPbnyRU/s320/amused.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217862945452200770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067789544889946103-809046076452831185?l=fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/feeds/809046076452831185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8067789544889946103&amp;postID=809046076452831185&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/809046076452831185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8067789544889946103/posts/default/809046076452831185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fromthemindofabouna.blogspot.com/2008/06/tuesday-lesson-in-civics-49.html' title='TUESDAY-LESSON IN CIVICS #49'/><author><name>Abouna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10492976686803243121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/163/402228367_901cbdf54e.jpg?v=0'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_tYsDEAhPnXw/SGmT8X2d2vI/AAAAAAAAFio/pz2DNTrNalY/s72-c/Lesson+in+Civics.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067789544889946103.post-7625239158006217078</id><published>2008-06-29T20:29:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2008-06-29T20:52:43.042-05:00</updated><title type='tex
