I rarely mention politics because it can get ugly fast and rarely makes any friends. However, if you can step out of your opinions/convictions for just a second and just laugh at some of the truths in this blog, I think you'll enjoy it...don't agree or disagree, just be amused...

And my fave comment...
I'm somewhat more conservative than liberal, although I certainly listen to NPR (except Ira Glass, his voice is like a freshman at a college radio station) and am sick of the culture war politics and right-wing talk radio is only rivaled in annoyingness by Sojo ;)
Still, here's a few things I noticed Liberal Evangelicals like (and I like some of these too, I'll happily admit). ... See More
- Saying "God is not a Republican," conceding to add "nor a Democrat" if pushed.
- Begrudgingly admitting that Bush did a stellar job with his AIDS initiatives in Africa.
- Jim Wallis
- Watching Fox News, Complaining about Fox News
- Derek Webb
- Social Justice, endlessly arguing about exactly what "Social Justice" is.
- Begrudgingly admitting that Rick Warren's got a good sense of missions and social justice
- Thinking about being Catholic up until the point they talk about celibacy and birth control.
- Billy Graham (because he's a Democrat, and he seems to like all the Presidents equally)
- Portraying Mormon Glen Beck, Catholic Sean Hannity, and lapsed mainliner Rush Limbaugh as representatives of conservative Evangelicalism.
- Bono
- Francis Collins (me, too -- he rocks! Yay for Obama for nominating him.)

ReplyDelete"I find no fault with the introductory clause which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that EVERY HUMAN BEING BORN within the jurisdiction of the United States OF PARENTS NOT OWING ALLEGIANCE TO ANY FOREIGN SOVEREIGNTY IS, in the language of your Constitution itself, A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN"
THE USURPER'S CLAIMED FATHER WAS MERELY A VISITOR TO , SOJOURNER IN THE UNITED STATES-LITTLE MORE THAN A TOURIST THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER( UNTIL NOW?) BEEN IN THE BUSINESS OF DENYING CHILDREN THEIR NATURAL RIGHTS
B.O. JR INHERITS HIS FATHER'S STATUS; IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NATURE
THE USURPER MAY BE A STATUTORY U.S. CITIZEN THROUGH HIS U.S. CITIZEN MOTHER & THE NATIVE SOIL(IF, INDEED, IT CAN BE SHOWN HE WAS BORN WITHIN U.S. TERRITORIAL LIMITS)
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, HE IS NOT....I REPEAT..NOT AN ARTICLE II NATURAL BORN CITIZEN --FOR HE RELIES ON POSITIVE LAW IE MAN-MADE LAW TO SEVER THE FOREIGN LIGAMENT. THIS GIVES HIM A FORM OR CULTURED OR CULTIVATED CITIZENSHIP ERGO NOT NATURAL
