good controversy!

I will let you gentleman start this dichotomy.... This is a spin off from my last post. The Creator (Father God) being the intelligence of the Universe, designer of all creatures, including you...

Here it is: MOTHER NATURE vs. FATHER GOD. I will put in my $.02 after each reply. "Put your thinking caps on!" (as my anthropology teacher used to say)

The reason I am posing this duality conflict on the "Religion" Forum is because of the resent resurgence of tornado activity in the mid-west has given rise to this juxtaposition (abstract concept) of these titles. Lets take first "Mother Nature" the often coined term for disasters such as Tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.

Watching CNN last week I listened to woman being interviewed after the Kansas Storm completely destroyed her home. "Thank God, my life was saved, although my neighbors were not so fortunate."

So I put forth to you, "Does not God the Father control all what goes on in the world?" Or is it a crap shoot?" JHM IV

Answer: Yes, God is in control of all that goes on in the world.

When everything you do is negative, the press can be nothing but negative! Hence, Obama's negative press...!!!

The piece is pure speculation.

I doubt it would ever happen unless obummer care is allowed to be enacted.

Number of Unemployed Reaches All-Time High

Dave Snope said:

Now over 88 million souls trying to live off of borrowed money and government handouts. The steepness of the slope since 2008 is scary. The amount of debt these people have has also skyrocketed. The prospects of paying that off look bleak. The banks are getting collateral calls. No good news on the horizon.

Our contry's economic policies and leadership needs a major shakeup.

[COLOR="Red"]I hope everyone remembers this in November. No more liberalism, no more democrats, vote the bums out!!!![/COLOR]

and concerned at the same time. Many people have lamented the failings of democracy before, like Hitler, Stalin and Castro.


You can thank the public educational system for this change in sentiment.

Barack Obama, The First African-American President

...of the Harvard Law Review...

... a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.�

The booklet, which was distributed to “business colleagues� in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.

It also promotes Obama’s anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White–which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.




H/T Gateway Pundit

Here is the original story at Breitbart with details and background on the literary agent's book, with a big disclaimer that they are not birthers, but, rather, this is more evidence that the media has made no effort to vet Obama's background:

Just tolerate it! We don't need no stinkin' constitution! The only vetting we need is a corvette(ing) wink

Even Rove thinks Romney is ahead now:

BLOWOUT, BLOWOUT, BLOWOUT. It will not be close. I can't believe there are so few that see the can of whoop ass that is coming.

I sure hope so, but I am no so confident. Seems more and more people like government enslavement plus the media and the public education system had done such a good job of brain washing, it is kinda scary talking with some highschool grads!

Krugman Demonstrates The Liberal Mind

Posted By Doug Matulis

Dave Snope said:

Once again, the great liberal icon, the Nobel Prize winning economist, the leading thinker for the NY Times and it's followers, Paul Krugman, reveals the inner workings of the liberal mind:

PAUL KRUGMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: This is hard to get people to do, much better, obviously, to build bridges and roads and healthcare clinics and schools. But my proposed, I actually have a serious proposal which is that we have to get a bunch of scientists to tell us that we’re facing a threatened alien invasion, and in order to be prepared for that alien invasion we have to do things like build high-speed rail. And the, once we’ve recovered, we can say, “Look, there were no aliens.�

But look, I mean, whatever it takes because right now we need somebody to spend, and that somebody has to be the U.S. government.


Now, mind you, he is serious and he has said this kind of thing before. The idea that it's OK to lie to the people for their own good is strong among the liberal elites (see Algore). In their mind, everyone is too stupid to understand their own economic decisions so these must be made for them for the greater good.

Liberalism can only be defined as a mental disorder.

Which side of the fence?

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!


If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.


If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.


If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.


If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.


If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.


If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.


If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.


If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

This is so true, its sad!

Worst Rated Living President...

Here's a new and interesting CNN Poll. No surprise here, but I'll bet some of you disagree.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/george-w-bush-favorable-rating-lowest-living-president-100010623.html

Its not because of Bush himself, the media hated him and so spun everything negative about him. Even when he done did good!
