Before you know it we’ll accuse Saudi Arabia of not honoring women properly. Now that’d be a hoot.
While we’re at it we could ask them nicely not to fly into any more of our buildings…but of course both things are pure fantasy, neither will happen whilst we need their oil…

Not quite a fetus but George was on the right track…
KABUL (Reuters) - An Afghan who has spent over six years at the U.S. military’s Guantanamo Bay prison was only around 12-years-old when he was detained, not 16 or 17 as his official record says, an Afghan rights group said on Tuesday.
With enough waterboarding he’s probably have given up his mother who was/is almost certaianly plotting the deaths of millions from her mud hut in Afghanistan…I doubt she even much cares which millions just so it’s somebody.
Tell you what, let’s say he turned in his mom and arrest her just to be on the safe side. After all if we’re holding these folks for the duration of the war then they’ll never be freed so we’ll never have to answer for anything which means we aren’t guilty which means we must be safe because this kid turned in his mother…after a turn in the comfy chair…
Ever hear the term “rendition”. Does anyone believe that it’s only Gitmo that holds “prisoners”? that it’s the omly place that torture happens on your behalf? I’ve got a bridge I’m willing to part with…fairly cheap.
Death to foreign children! Kill them and there can’t be any terrorists…can there?

Someone needs to fit blabberinyetagain and his mommy, yapping@ewe’s for their straight jackets very soon before they are offered jobs in the “Usurper’s” administration.
How about some proof of your “claim” on a previous thread that there were more than 3 terrorists that were waterboarded. Just know in advance, we won’t accept Nancy (deceived by the CIA), Pelocchio’s “word” as evidence. She has pretty much the same believability rating as you or yapping@ankles.

Grey reveals how the agency’s program, known by the euphemism ‘extraordinary rendition’, has transported hundreds of prisoners to foreign jails and its own secret facilities in the full knowledge they will face harsh torture. ‘Of course we do torture’, one former senior CIA operative told Grey. ‘Imagine putting President Bush’s head under water and telling him to raise his hand when he thinks he’s being tortured. Give him the water-board treatment, and he’d be raising his hand straightaway.’

ObaMarx strenuously opposed the nomination of Samuel Alito even though his judicial record was above reproach. Here are the comments made by lawyers which were then a part of the public record who had brought cases before Justice Alito:
“He is exceptional.”
“He has brilliant ability.”
“He is even more exceptional than Becker. He is a brilliant jurist.”
“To say he is outstanding is to use understatement. He’s the best judge on the circuit, maybe the country.”
“His ability is very, very, very good. Very seriously, he’s very bright.”
“He is very smart.”
“He is brilliant and of unquestioned intelligence.”
“He has a fine, nice demeanor-he couldn’t have keener demeanor.”
“He is demanding, but always courteous. He may occasionally demonstrate a little bit of impatience with lawyers that aren’t quite getting it-this can be directed at either side; it’s just a sign that his mind is working more efficiently than yours. He is never discourteous and never abusive.”
“He has an excellent demeanor-very measured.”
“He is somewhat reserved. He’s not hostile, negative or mean. He is pleasant and courte-ous.”
“He is extremely polite and genteel.”
“He is fairly active and asks penetrating questions. Questions can be factual or hypothetical in nature.”
“He is active. He asks intricate questions, both factual and legal. His legal questions often grasp upon the intricacies of the law that you haven’t grasped; it’s often in your favor.”
“He is conservative, but reaches honest decisions as he sees them. There is a conservative bent to his thinking.”
“By reputation, he is known to be one of the more conservative judges on the court, but he is forthright and fair. He tries to decide the cases in front of him in the right way.”
Yet when it came time for the all knowing, all wise ObaMarx to appoint someone, in this case Sonia Sotomayor, to fill a vacancy on SCOTUS, who does his majesty appoint:
“She is a good judge.”
“She is very smart.”
“She is a good judge, but not quite as smart as she thinks she is.”
“She is smart. She is not as intellectual as some.”
“It is fair to say she has done better than many people predicted. I’d say she is in the bottom of this court -but, the competition is pretty stiff.”
“When you argue before her you have the sense that she is waiting for you to give her a reason to win. If you don’t give it, she will rule against you.”
“I am not too impressed with her. She is bright, but doesn’t always get the facts.”
“She is a terror on the bench.”
“She is very outspoken.”
“She can be difficult.”
“She is temperamental and excitable. She seems angry.”
“She is overly aggressive -not very judicial. She does not have a very good temperament.”
“She abuses lawyers.”
“She really lacks judicial temperament. She behaves in an out of control manner. She makes inappropriate outbursts.”
“She is nasty to lawyers. She doesn’t understand their role in the system -as adversaries who have to argue one side or the other. She will attack lawyers for making an argument she does not like.”
“She participates actively in oral argument. She is extremely hard working and always prepared.”
“She dominates oral argument. She will cut you off … .”
“She is active in oral argument. There are times when she asks questions to hear herself talk.”
“She can be a bit of a bully. She is an active questioner.”
“She asks questions to see you squirm. She is very active in oral argument. She takes over in oral argument, sometimes at the expense of her colleagues.”
“She can be very aggressive in her questioning.”
“She can get harsh in oral argument.”
“She can become exasperated in oral argument. You can see the impatience.”
“Her opinions are O.K, by and large.”
“Her opinions are generally well-reasoned and well-argued.”
“Her writing is not distinguished, but is perfectly competent.”
So you see, liberals will feel Sotomayor is a perfectly fair, acceptable, judicially-minded and qualified candidate to sit on the highest court in the land. However, by contrast, Samuel Alito was and is a right-wing ideologue and scumbag. Such is the bizarro world of kool-aid swilling moonbats.

Why does Pelosi want a Dodge when she could have a Ford?
Hey Bober, why don’t you Google: “Obama continues with Bush policies”. Why are you more concerned about yesteryear when it comes to “executive abuses” instead of the stuff happening right now under your nose?
Here are some sample headlines:
Obama Continues Bush’s Policies of Torture and Secrecy
Obama Adopts Bush View of the Powers of the Presidency
Obama Adopts Bush’s View of State Secrets
Despite Rhetoric, Obama Continues Bush’s Guantanomo Policies
Detainee: Guantanomo Worse Under Obama
Obama Embraces Bush’s Terrorism Policies
Obama Continues Bush Policy on Afghanistan Detainees
Obama Continues Bush’s Policy of “Extraordinary Rendition”
Obama’s Polices on Civil Liberties: Bush Lite?
See, what makes this all so reprehensible is that Mr. ObaMarx promised “change”. Why do you on the one hand give ObaMarx a pass for violating his own promises about change on these very issues, yet get your ideological panties all in a bunch about Bush being Bush? At least Bush was being honest and consistent with respect to his embrace of controversial policies (policies that were far less radical than the liberal Demoncrat’s own iconic war president, FDR, mind you) and understanding of serving and protecting this country from all enemy threats at home and abroad.
If you want to legitimize your criticisms, why don’t you spend the rest of your time railing against disengenuous ObaMarx and the Democrat-controlled Congress who are plainly trying to erect a new collectivist state - Amerika.
15 Darthmeister // May 26, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Liberals said if I voted for McCain, American forces would still be in Iraq for at least another ten years — and they were right.
I’m sure ObaMarx is very cognizant of the fact that he really doesn’t want to run the risk of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in both Iraq and Afghanistan with the kind of precipitious withdrawal his moonbat supporters were demanding of President Bush.
Of course ObaMarx has lied to the American people from the beginning about “ending the war in Iraq” and removing all American troops “within 16 months”, but don’t look to Obamabots to hold him accountable for his politically-motivated mendacity. This is what liberals do, they can tell any lie to get elected, their supporters believe the ends (getting elected) justifies the means, and then ignore the fact THEY’VE BEEN LIED TO. Which goes to prove once again, liberal Democrats really don’t have problems with politicians lying just so long it’s their lying politicians who get elected.

Hank, are you finally admitting that George had it wrong? That can be the only explanation for finding fault with Obiwan when he continues a policy.
Took 8 1/2 years but it was worth the wait.
For me, I did not find everything George did to be wrong (won’t be finding everything this one does right either) because, for the 4,549th time I’m an independant…sooner or later you’ll “get it”. I have no “knee jerk” political reaction to any action or policy, I prefer to judge each on it’s merits or lack thereof.
This pres seems willing to admit that there are things George did right, he’s willing to learn, he’s willing to admit mistakes and actually change to adapt…3 things that separate him from many in his position, surely from George.
Still, good to see you’re coming around, I knew you had it in you!

“At least Bush was being honest and consistent with respect to his embrace of controversial policies”…to imprison many innocents and torture all of them

18 Darthmeister // May 27, 2009 at 8:19 am
With today’s “open-minded” liberals one man’s religious freedom is becoming another man’s “ridiculous prejudice.”
Consider. One government official fumed that Catholic doctors were refusing to perform abortions—abortions that were perfectly legal. He wrote in a memo: “After all, these scruples are in most cases nothing but ridiculous prejudices . . . One is tempted to ask: where does state authority come in these cases, or else, is the state, perhaps, not anxious to assert its authority in this particular instance?”
The historical fact is that even Nazi Germany was seldom hesitant to assert its authority, even over religion and individual conscience. And here comes the surprise … as described in the June/July issue of First Things, the government official I just quoted was a Nazi bureaucrat who was none-too-happy that doctors in Italy’s Lake District—a heavily Catholic region—wouldn’t perform legal abortions. The Nazis, you see, had legalized abortions “in countries occupied by the Germany army.” Refusal to participate in government-sanctioned procedures drew his ire. I bet you won’t find that inconvenient historical fact being taught in the hollow-headed halls of whackademia today.
This historical reality proves once again Obamabots and liberal Democrats today are acting more and more like a bunch of Nazi fascists by demonizing conservative Christians with a conscience as well as the fact these same Amerikan liberals are trying to establish an unwittingly parallel national socialist velvet gulag!
The question now becomes, after having twisted the Constitution in the past to further their fascist agenda - their politically-correct thought police agenda being the cornerstone of this emerging “progressive” despotism - how far will liberal elites go in protecting the warped political foundations of their emerging collectivist state?
19 Darthmeister // May 27, 2009 at 8:36 am
Boberin, it’s kind of convenient for you to co-opt the definition of “torture” in order to impose your personal opinion as irrefutable law. Where in American law does it say waterboarding is a crime much less a “torture”?
BTW, isn’t it interesting that these people who take it upon themselves to be waterboarded to “prove” it is torture don’t also submit themselves to real torture like having their genitals mutilated or removed, having garden hoses thrust into their stomachs which then burst, having their eyes plucked out with spoons, having holes drilled in their heads/brains, having their bones broken by being run over by vehicles, being slowly dismembered, having hands, fingers or toes crushed in vices, being continuously shocked with a 1000 volts, etc.
You’re unwillingness to admit the possibility that waterboarding may indeed fall into a grey area (a grey area that panty-waisted liberals like you are always claiming to exist with respect to every argument) called enhanced interrogation techniques demonstrates the very same “rigid thinking” that you condemn conservatives of having with respect to controversial techniques like, mmmm … ABORTION INFANTICIDE!
Interestingly these enhanced interrogation have indeed extract useful information from those who are very real illegal enemy combatants under the Geneva Convention/Hague Protocols. Remember how you people were telling us how “torture doesn’t work”? I sure do. Well if that is really true and waterboarding did yield useful information, then by you own past arguments waterboarding is NOT “torture” … since it works. Oh what a tangled web we weave, eh?
Its fine and dandy for self-righteous fingerpointers like you to be partisan critics of techniques which may have indeed kept this country from another 9/11 the last seven years, but what alternative techniques are you and ObaMarx willing to use to extract information from terrorists bent on death and mayhem? [sounds of crickets chirping] If you don’t have a viable alternative then you’re simply peeing in the wind, my trollish friend.

Well, my stand on abortion can best be demonstrated by the fact that I’be been working continuously to empty, scrape and paint the nursery for my about to be born granddaughter since my unwed, barely employed 20 y/o daughter was forced by her abusive BF to move back home about a month ago.
Abortion would have been a fine idea for her, a far better one for me. At 53 I was revelling in the fact that the last child had flown the coop (some 6-8 months ago), the wife and I were enjoying our privacy and freedom quite a bit.
So much for that.
Torture, as auth by George was done repeatedly, to many, all over the planet. We will never hear the worst of it but Google “extraordinary rendition” and follow one of the hundreds of links…but do it before you eat. You think waterboarding is the worst of it? You starry eyed dreamer.
And, I still want to see what we “learned” that could not have been learned any other way…trot it out.
And, in any case…Cheney should shut up already…he’s breaking many perhaps unspoken “deals”
Please sapre me the “other guy did it first, did it worse” argument as it’s just plain not justification. It’s not! WE (as I hope “we” are) are BETTER than the “other guy”. At least we were prior to “preemptive” invasions of random (happen to produce oil) countrys (and then started torturing people). THAT’S when we “lost it”. “It” being the high moral ground that we had enjoyed as a nation for hundreds of years…now gone.
Because the nightly news doesn’t report on those renditions does not mean that the rest of the world is unaware…far from it. They hear and see things we never do…and it made more enemies for us…was/is a recruiting tool…and you danged well know it or your not the man I thought you were.
It is indeed time to stop, to apologize, to change course…and apologize some more…wait for it…BECAUSE WE SCREWED UP!
and you know it (and so does the world, which believe it or not, we have to live in/with)
God help our troops when they get captured…and again, not a peep from you when they get tortured.

the “trouble with the law” one that’s thankfully gotten straight on that score, turned out to be a pretty good kid these days.
How could you misuderstand the other part…doubtful a grandchild would be coming if I felt abortion was an option for me and mine…but the child is coming…my point was that, personally, I’m against it and I’m willing to “walk the walk, talk the talk” unlike many that postulate what they’d do knowing full well they’ll never face the “piper” so to speak, won’t need to make a choice and won’t adopt or foster care any of the un-aborted parentless children in their town…they’ll just be happy to tell others how to live. Absolute hypocrites, every one.
I do, however, believe in choice, believe that children born to folks that don’t want them, can’t care for them are not likely to contribute so much as drain…unless Godly folks like yourself would step up and there were no parentless children…when that is true, get back to me…
I don’t have any need to defend my neutrality but I am free to comment on morons insulting my children/grandchildren. There’s way less excuse for that than there is for insulting me…and if you don’t condemn that sort of thing then I have no respect for you either (and for what it’s worth, I did)

33 boberinyetagain // May 27, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Who’s judging who? Pot calling kettle, come in kettle…
My sister the saint was a foster mom to many children for many years. There were plenty she couldn’t help. If there are so many opposed to abortion that are willing and able to care for these unwanted children, why were there so many more?
If you have adopted or are foster parenting, sleep well. But, have some of your allies in the pro life movement step up, put their time/effort/money where their mouths are. When no child lacks parental attention then…and only then…will you get me to consider telling others what they should or should not do. If anyone is not doing these things but continues to rail against abortion then they are flat out hypocrites.
If the shoe fits…wear it. If it doesn’t then God bless you and yours.
Nope, the “option” of abortion was bandied about but I made it known that it could not/would not be my choice, that I objected. And I’m willing to alter literally the rest of my life to live with that decision but again, I can’t tell others that it’s best for them…how could I know that?

My friend, I fully understand the facetious nature of your post, but can you be certain the Wingnuts here do?
I can just see you quoted on some Wingnut blog as an unknown liberal who admitted that “global domination” is Obama’s goal!
Hank, might know better, but still, he wouldn’t hesitate to use it if he did.
Many others here, who believe they understand our true nature, will take it at face value, and for RAM it will be as though it is hard wired.

boberin states: “I do, however, believe in choice, believe that children born to folks that don’t want them, can’t care for them are not likely to contribute so much as drain”
Exactly who are those children borerin? Would it have been the unwanted black girl child born into crushing poverty in 1950’s Mississippi- not likely to contribute much, she was phsically and sexually abused by uncaring relatives- better off aborted right? Her name is Oprah Winfrey and while she is not much of a drain, statistically speaking she qualified in your test of what parts of the herd to cull. Abortion is just another liberal method of thinning the swarms of undesirables who infest the cities most libs congregate in.

“Abortion is just another liberal method of thinning the swarms of undesirables who infest the cities most libs congregate in.”
If abortion is removed from this premise are there still “the swarms of undesirables who infest the cities most libs congregate in.“.
How can this Christian writer be speaking of children in this way? Can he be referring to black children as “undesirables” and their presence as an infestation?

The other personality has a family of “war hero’s” that have saved America and now we need to let them lead us to the promise land of Socialism. BTW, Your boy is not by chance the “baby daddy” is he? I had to ask. You keep calling blabber your friend.

From the Borowitz Report. How ObaMarx intends to intimate America’s enemies with adjectives of disapproval:
One day after North Korea launched a successful test of a nuclear weapon, President Obama said that the United States was prepared to respond to the threat with “the strongest possible adjectives.”
In remarks to reporters at the White House, Mr. Obama said that North Korea should fear the “full force and might of the United States’ arsenal of adjectives” and called the missile test “reckless, reprehensible, objectionable, senseless, egregious and condemnable.”
Standing at the President’s side, Vice President Joseph Biden weighed in with some tough adjectives of his own, branding North Korean President Kim Jong-Il “totally wack and illin’.”
Later in the day, Defense Secretary Robert Gates called the North Korean nuclear test “supercilious and jejune,” leading some in diplomatic circles to worry that the U.S. might be running out of appropriate adjectives with which to craft its response.
But President Obama attempted to calm those fears, saying that the United States was prepared to “scour the thesaurus” to come up with additional adjectives and was “prepared to use adverbs” if necessary.
“Let’s be clear: we are not taking adverbs off the table,” Mr. Obama said. “If the need arises, we will use them forcefully, aggressively, swiftly, overwhelmingly and commandingly.”
Coming soon will be Obama and his Obamabots explaining how they will get terrorists to spill their guts with application of harsh words and disapproving glares … with maybe promises of going to Disney World and being intimidated by roller coaster rides and subjected to bad entertainment skits. The Runaway Mine Ride could break many a resistant terrorist seeking to visit another spectacular 911 on American infidels.

“I, __________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as (name of position) under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

Why I bet ALL of those abortion doctors took an Oath to protect and save lives in the beginning of their careers before they caught that same brain rot disease that “Yapping” and “blabber” have.

No one here has ever “caught” me in a lie and they never will. There’s a reason for that. Mostly it’s because you put words in my mouth constantly (so none of that counts a whit). Secondly it’s because your reading comprehension/retention seems below normal, you don’t know what I’m saying and if you do you don’t acknowledge it nor remember it accurately if at all. Most importantly, I’ve never lied…go figure.
So, that “problem” if you want to call it that…lies with you.

RAM, the “fault” (I did not use that word, you did) that I find with you and your ilks proclaiming that all children should be born is that you
a) Won’t help raise/care for those children
b) Will loudly complain should they end up on welfare or other public assistance which they are nearly guaranteed to need
c) you’ll happily send them and even wanted/loved children into battle at the drop of an oil…
So, their parents admitted they were not up for the job, couldn’t handle it/would do it poorly if at all and you refuse to help, get mad if asked…but…you still want them born.
That’s not rational… period
The abortion “option” was bandied about for a moment by my wife, never by me. Setting up the nursery is hardly the challenge (I’m betting the next 18 years will be the challenge given that I’m 53 now), it’s merely what I spend all of my current efforts on, I’ve said so, you know I said so (all of this) but you attack what I suppose you wish I’d said because you enjoy the idea of hating me.
Why that would be I can’t imagine but trust me, the “reasons” are all in your head, swimming in what must be a terrible void because you are incapable of reading my posts, understanding anything I’m saying and responding in an intelligent manner.

But then please don’t rail against welfare/medicare and other social services that these unwanted children will eventually need.

OLA, re 87, why is Obama so roundly criticized (notably by Hank here) for following Bush policies?
Yes, he said he’d “change them all” but that was surely a bit brash, even George couldn’t have everything wrong…and it turns out that perhaps he didn’t (have everything wrong)…
So, you spent 8 years defending Bush/his policys (some defense continues even now) but make fun of Obamalama when he decides (on one or more particular issues) that George was right.
Would you prefer that Obama “keep his word” and change the policies you defended so vigorously, even when they were correct or would you prefer a thoughtful man in charge, one who will actually take the time to look at something, even if it were already “decided’ in his mind…and admit that he was wrong, change his course?
I know that I’d prefer the thoughtful man, one willing and able to admit mistakes, to change/grow.
Sadly, for 8 years we lacked that. George had many strengths but rethinking/admitting mistakes/changing course were not among them and I think those are actually really, really desirable qualities for the person in charge (of anything)

92 onlineanalyst // May 29, 2009 at 3:51 pm
boberin: I only point out the similarities between the two administrations because (a) Obama continues to campaign with snide attacks (even though he won) by belittling Bush, whose policies he is maintaining, making only cosmetic name changes and (b) Obama’s fictions are at the heart of his hypocrisy.
I question how “thoughtful” Obama is when I recall one of his first acts, a big production about his executive order to close Gitmo. He had to ask the attorneys what exactly he was signing- he little understood the details, he had no plan in place to address what to do with the detainees, and he had no funding nor agreements with other nations in order to effect his plan. Management skills demand a more considered opinion and a plan of action, not just photo ops.
Off the top of my head, I can think of two areas where Bush ate humble pie and admitted mistakes. He regretted his use of the machismo phrase, “Bring it on” in relation to threats by the jihadists. His implication was that we are ready to fight to the finish, but the wording turned against him.
The other was his accepting blame for the federal government’s slowness in responding to the Katrina hurricane devastation. In my opinion, that taking the blame was wrong on his part because the governors in the affected area were offered federal emergency support and warning several days before the event, support which the local governments refused. The first line of defense in federal disasters falls to local governments; only after an interim does FEMA step in to assist the locals. (I would contrasst Bush’s later flight to the area and evaluation of the damage to the absolute neglect that Obama showed with the Kentucky ice storms and the flooding in North Dakota.) Having Bush fly immediately to New Orleans would have exacerbated an already dicey situation with security problems. It would have served no purpose other than photo op “concern,” something that Obama has perfected with his phony town halls featuring preselected people with sob stories. BTW Does Henrietta have a job yet…or a home of her own paid for out of her own pocketbook?
I could go on, but that is all for now.

Cheyney has crossed a few formerly distinct barriers himself…and offered little/nothing to back up his accusations.
Apologizing for antagonizing/energizing an enemy should NEVER have been required as it should NEVER have happened but you’re right…he did so.
Katrina was a mess, George didn’t cause or aggravate that situation, no one could have made that “right” so I agree that no apology was needed…but it was still a nice gesture.
Perhaps you could “go on” but I’m betting not too far. He was asked point blank about regrets he may have had from 8 years and he came up blank.
This new guy has admitted more mistakes in 6 months (but no, he has made a similar amount, just “mans up” better) than George. People that are 100% sure…all of the time…make me very, very nervous.
Has Obama screwed up? Yep
Will he continue? Yep.
Going next week to “surprise” Saudi Arabia with another visit to assure our support when we should have invaded them…not Iraq…to “get revenge” for 9/11 is one glaring mistake that’s about to happen and won’t be apologized for. But there is much (too much) precedent for this course that Obama can’t erase/change now…the charade must (I suppose) continue

no thought asked,
“Are there only two states, righteous and unrighteous?”
Are there only two eternal destinations? Is there another spiritual battle other than God vs. Satan? When it comes to our conduct, is there only that which pleases the Lord, and that which does not? Is there only good or evil? Spiritually speaking is there naught but light or darkness? Is there any other option than to receive, or to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?
No. But leave it to someone with a moderate heart to try to find neutrality.
During the time of the old covenant, God called a few men to deliver his message, some were well received, others were rejected and hated. Those men were called prophets.
Ever since the gospel was delivered we have been under the new covenant. God no longer needs a prophet to deliver his message, in its stead we have the written Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. (The two work in conjunction, BTW.)
IN MY OPINION, a person would have to be spiritually deaf, dumb, and blind, to believe that God is not pleased with America because she is socially embracing everything he has declared to be wickedness, abominable, and evil. If his grace permitted such things without consequence, why would he ever determine that one day it was time to judge it worthy of destruction?

There is also a fourth state of spiritual being. It is the state of Innocence, all who are innocent return to the Bosom of The Father of us all.

Projecting again, Laughing Gasbag? Must be a guilty conscience.
BTW, you abuse Scripture just as your father Lucifer is so quick to do. There are none righteous and there are none who are innocent. The only righteousness a believer has is that righteousness he/she has as a result of faithing in the Lord of Creation.
The only innocent person who ever lived was Messiah Jesus. Therefore, there is no “innocent” person who will “return to the Bosom of the Father of all.” There is no fourth state of being, that apparently being a “state of innocence” as you claim. Your own ignorance of eternal truth is truly appalling.
The best man can hope for is to be saved by grace (unmerited favor) through faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross - our debts (sin) having been nailed to the Cross (Colossians 2:13-14). We are not reconciled to God through some kind of innocence - an innocence we humans never had (except for Adam and Eve) and never will have until the perishable puts on the imperishable.
I John 1: 8-10 - Everyone sins and continues to sin. An innocent person cannot sin and does not sin - therefore, there is no such thing as a truly innocent person. In fact, anyone who says they (or anyone else) are/is innocent and will “return to the Bosom of God” is a liar and the truth is not in them.
Man’s justification is by grace through faith in the redemptive work of Messiah Jesus. The Greek word for “redemption” was a legal term to denote the action of a buyer purchasing a slave at the slave market. It literally means the release obtained by paying a price or ransom without regard to the kind of slave being purchased. Our redemption released us from guilt and its judgment but it did not make us sinless or “innocent”. Our redemption is the deliverance from the slavery of sin because the ransom was paid in Christ’s death.
God decreed before the foundations of the world that Messiah Jesus would be propitiation for all by means of Jesus’ spilt blood. “Propitiation” means a sacrifice of atonement which satisfies the righteous wrath of God. Though the work of Messiah on the Cross is the propitiation for all sin, it is not sufficient to cause everyone to be born again unto eternal life. It’s no different than a million dollars being deposited in ones account, yet what does it avail any man who refuses to make a withdrawal? Nothing. And it is precisely that efficacious faith in both the completed work of Messiah on the Cross and the literal resurrection of Messiah from the dead - faith in the former releases us from the debt of our sins (and sin nature), faith in the latter imputes to us the promise of eternal life. That is, our sins are put to death in Messiah on the Cross and we are made alive by His resurrection. True believers are merely sinners saved by grace. There are only two kinds of people in the world, those who believe in Messiah and those unwilling to be saved by faith and that faith alone.
The true believer is:
Justified by His blood – Romans 5:9
Justified by faith through our Lord Jesus Christ – Romans 5:1
Justified freely by His grace – Romans 3:24
Is not by works – Romans 8:3
It is by God – Romans 8:33
And is obtained by the resurrection of Jesus – Romans 4:25
In a literal sense, believers aren’t “righteous” but rather the righteousness of Messiah has been imputed to the believer by the mercy and justice of God the Father. When God looks upon a believer He only sees Christ since he/she is “in Christ.” Even when the believer sins, he/she has an advocate with the Father, Messiah Jesus. Sin can affect a believer’s fellowship with God but sin cannot break a believer’s personal relationship with God. But in the final analysis, not even the most pious and humble true believer is “innocent”.

What of the newborn? If you do not believe that such a one is innocent, then we have yet another fundamental disagreement.

I now say:
If you disagree you will have set yourself against the majority of Protestant believers in America, and the majority of our founding families, which, as I have previously pointed out, includes my own.

No offense, and I certainty hope this doesn’t come across as cruel; but RAM, I’m sure I speak for my boberin persona, when I say you have no sense of propriety or decency, and your remarks are entirely too juvenile to be responded to by us. We do note, however, the decline in smiley faces, please try to focus now on a reduction of ALL CAPS statements.
However, I will respond to just one of your goofy accusation/statements where you say:
“Wrong question blabber, why do YOU keep defending Obama for doing the same things you railed against Bush for 8 years, (and continue to do)?”
President Obama, The President of The United States, The Democrat President who was elected without the help of Diebold, his daddy’s friends, or the Supreme Court, did not come into the office unencumbered by a huge budget shortfall, an economy in collapse, or the major corruption of our financial institutions and insurance companies.
Nor did he come to office free of the problem of widespread unemployment, home foreclosures and homelessness. These, together with a failing health insurance system which has left a third of our people uninsured, and another third UNDER INSURED. He inherited two wars (one of which we had been lied into)in which thousands of innocents were killed and maimed. And in addition to all this, a nation held in contempt around the world because of his predecessors arrogant wrongheaded screw ups, and an opposition party of “NO”.
I’m sure you will agree he has been very busy from day one, but you can’t turn the ship of state too quickly, or stop it on a dime.
All the Bush policies still in effect have been modified to reduce the harm, before we are able to eliminate them all together.
In four years the American People will overwhelm the remaining Neanderthal lunkheads and religious fanatic Ba’al worshipers, eliminating the ignorant Republican obstructionism that has held America in what has seemed a “Death Grip” for so long!
Of course, boberin might wish to say this differently, but I believe he will generally agree, won’t you boberin?

A child is born under the curse of sin, thanks to Adam. Therefore a child is born condemned because it is their nature to sin. They are also born spiritually ignorant. Until the time they gain knowledge sufficient to be held accountable for their sin, if they should die prior to understanding their need to make reconciliation with God they will not be subjected to the consequences of rejecting Christ. That does not however, make them innocent. The bible speaks of our names being “blotted out” of the book of life, personally it is my belief that every name was written in the book before time began, and it remains until we reach the “age of accountability”. A lot of folks seem to think it is written in the book when we accept Christ, but I don’t think that is the case.

I can be dogmatic on the certainty of eternal punishment for those who reject Christ and offer opinion on things that are not “written in stone”, in the end only what is done to further His kingdom will matter. I saw a headline about home bible studies being closed down in California, for all that I know of it they could have been teaching heresy through them, but the reason we have such freedoms here in America is to preach and teach Christ, when politicians and law enforcement officials stifle the spreading of the Word, America is going down the path that leads to destruction, she may still exist in name, but perhaps it will be under Sharia law.

Here is another twist the bible has for us believers: http://tinyurl.com/nurvt8
Indeed, we are to be holy. Are we righteous or unrighteous when we are holy, ever thoughtful ?
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but I awoke this morning with that verse on my mind…could it be the prompting of the Holy Spirit? I thought I was hungry and was thinking of food when the verse popped into my head.

“Not trying to beat a dead horse, ..”
Oh, you have gone well beyond that!
“You know MNK, I really don’t care what you think! It only concerns me when you use your religious beliefs to denigrate those with whose politics you disagree.”
You are judgmental and narrow-minded, and you are arrogant to believe that your views represent a complete understanding of all things Godly.
You insist on calling unclean, what God has declared clean. In so doing, you deny the redemption of Christ Jesus.
You grossly misunderstand the calling of an evangelist, a roll you are wholly unprepared to fill.
You have a limited understanding of the things you wish to teach, you speak without thought, or recognizable love.
You lack patience, and the wisdom that should follow.

Boo! I see you. Bet you thought I disappeared

P.S.
If you want to buy my Reagan political badge go search e-bay
Reagan-Bush Badge 1980 Detroit Convention
I need to raise $750 to buy a new computer to go into the photo restoration business. I already raised the $712 dollars for a new scanner. I am running out of material stuff to sell. My computer is hanging in there but is nearly 5 years old.
It isn’t cheap to be a capitalist. That is why nobody has seen me in weeks, I have been trying to make a new beginning for myself so I can get back to writing and shooting.
Now, back into the shadows. Sorry Scott, didn’t want to come toot my horn (though I did) But isn’t that what makes us who we are by refusing to wallow in poverty.

Blessings upon blessings upon your endeavors Ms RightWing. Other than bidding on your ebay sales, is there anything we can do to assist your efforts? And don’t be too proud or shy to let us know, I’m poverty stricken too, but I know someone who owns the cattle on a thousand hills!

funny guy - You said, “you are arrogant to believe that your views represent a complete understanding of all things Godly.” I take that as you are boasting of having a complete understanding of all things Godly.

I think you pretty well sumed it up. It is tough out there, but that is sometimes when God can shine the most. The new Epson 750 Pro scanner was purchased cash, hands down. That is something I was surprised I was able to do, but it all came from cleaning out my rare books and photos.
Now all I have is things that will bring a few dollars here and there. On June 15th I will put my original Mickey Mouse watch and an antique Chocolate Pot on e-bay again. It didn’t bring my price the first time around.
Funny though, I haven’t missed a thing I have sold yet. Guess it paid to be a one time capitalist pig. My junk was money in the bank.
Just keep praying, I only have $600 more to go. I have managed to save a bit. You know, this is really short of miraculous because a year ago I couldn’t even afford to get my cat to the doctor.
I’m just holding on for the ride. But I do think I can do enough work under the table when this gets set up so I won’t have to eat dirt again. Life is still frugal, but not having a car with all the repairs and insurance helps a bit.
If you let me ramble on just a bit more, the truth is I had enough dough to take a trip that has been in my wish book for years. A vacation would be a flash in the pan. With this set-up I can invest for now. A vacation, as nice as it is, is not an investment.
‘Nuff said. Thanks for giving me a couple of minutes of your time. Just pray God will make a way. That is my game plan

I was talking to my Pastor during church today and he asked a question that I cannot even remember the slightest detail of, however I answered his question by saying that the problem most of us have in our Christian lives is a lack of faith. But it is not that we do not believe that God can do whatever we are desiring him to do, it is that we aren’t sure that he will do a particular thing for us. For instance, at this time I have a very urgent need, it is something that is beyond my ability to handle unless God moves, however, if this urgent need is not met as I believe it needs to be, perhaps in the aftermath God wants to do something that I cannot even imagine that would be better, or cause him to receive greater glory. So in the meanwhile, when things really get hard, do I keep my faith and remain strong, or do I feel as though I am forsaken and give up?
Knowing the right answer and living the right answer are two different things. We know he is trustworthy, therefore if we fail to trust it is sin. How genuine is faith that has never been tried? Praise God for the trials that strengthen our faith! And never, ever take your eyes off of Christ, let your communication with him be continual, knowing that he truly cares for you.
Then again, you might want to get a secong opinion on things from et, aka Mr. Know-it-all.

PS - I wish I had said continuous, rather than continual. Or I could have said, as the Word says, “pray without ceasing.”

BTW et - Remember when you asked, “are you righteous?” You said, “only God is righteous.”
According to 1 Corinthians 1:30, everyone who is in Christ has been made righteous. If I’m not mistaken you’ll find that statement in Romans 3 also. But naturally, I do not think of myself as being anything near to it. But you see, in another passage God uses a present tense verse saying that I am at present seated with Christ. Can you believe it?!

Is that an echo I’m hearing here, or are you still trying to convince yourself, funny thinker?
141 mindknumbed kid // Jun 1, 2009 at 10:06 pm
et - May I ask of you the same question that you asked of me? Are you righteous? Perhaps someone here does care what you think.
