I've deleted two posts thus far, one that noted "declining religion" and another that noted the "new testament". If you've got a post that contains statements about religion, take it to the religion forum(without the politics).

If these guys don't agree with their Republican senators, then the payroll taxes will go up and it could hit the economy hard:

The tea party types in the house plus their minions are going to hurt us severely if this deal doesn't get done. What, they want us to pay more taxes come Jan 1st? Do you want to pay more taxes come Jan 1st? That tells you how nuts they really are...

Some religious folks and historians...Have concluded that 2012 will be a significant year as significant as any ever could be. Some religions point to a cataclysm event....Nostradamus predicted catastrophe..the Mians cyclic calendar runs our and some NEO folks think an asteroid or major solar flair will be the world demise......

What are your thoughts?

I'm not so sure......after seeing this picture.

Do Jews baptize? I was wondering because of the story of John baptizing Jesus and others in the Jordon River.

Jeffrey Counsil said:

He called on “every State to require that all students stay in high school until they graduate or turn eighteen.�

Rather than addressing broken families and why poor kids don’t care about learning, our president thinks he’ll solve this problem by turning our failing public schools into prisons.

"According to a report in The Hill, the Energy and Commerce Health subcommittee voted 17-5 in favor of repealing the IPAB.

Obamacare puts in place a new bureaucracy called Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) which will consist of 15 unelected officials. They will make decisions regarding YOUR care. In fact, they would set limits on the coverage each individual gets hence they are often coined as a "death panel".

For a little bit of background information on this issue, you may also check out our article on one of Obamacare's unfortunate side effects: "coverage to be denied to seniors over 70".

According to Life News, the National Right to Life had this to say:

"[t]he Obama law directs the Board to issue recommendations to limit what ordinary citizens and their health insurance coverage can pay for medical treatment..."

to "implement these recommendations, the Department of Health and Human Services is empowered to impose so-called 'quality' and 'efficiency' measures on health care providers. Doctors who violate a 'quality' standard by prescribing more life-saving medical treatment than it permits will be disqualified..."

"Simply put, the IPAB is bad medicine..It is outrageous that a government entity would be allowed to dictate and limit what Americans could spend - of their own money - to save their own lives."
