I for one think that Ron Paul will fair better in the 2012 primaries than he did in the 2008 primaries. He will be 76 in 2012, so it still is in question if he would run or not.

Obama Reaffirms Support for Homosexual Agenda WASHINGTON -- Countering criticism that he's done little on gay rights, President Barack Obama commemorated the 40th anniversary of the birth of the modern movement by welcoming its leaders to the White House and reaffirming his commitment to their top priorities. "I want you to know: You have our support," Obama told members of the core Democrat constituency as he and first lady Michelle Obama hosted a cocktail-and-appetizer reception in the East Room for gay pride month. It's been some four decades since the police raid on New York City's gay Stonewall Inn that spurred gay rights activism across the country. Click Here F…

You know...they impeached Bill Clinton for much less traitorous activity than Obama has done already. Yet nobody has even breathed the idea of impeachment. Is everyone too afraid? Rush Limbaugh even thinks Obama is going to try to somehow get rid of term limits and stay on indefinitely. If Rush says it, we know its bad. Why is nobody standing up against this man?

Bachmann brings flair, tea party clout to GOP race By BRIAN BAKST - Associated Press | AP – 4 hrs ago... ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — One hand clutches a crisply folded U.S. flag with a concealed weapons certification protruding; the other slides discreetly into a denim coat pocket. Behind the beaming state lawmaker, a silhouette target with bullet holes square in the chest. Next to her nameplate, a "No New Taxes!" sticker. The photo taken during Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann's initial run for Congress in 2006 captures her essence. In Bachmann's quick rise from state lawmaker to unofficial tea party ambassador in Washington, her brazen style has kept Republican …

This man & his wife both sell real estate for a living. Although, I doubt she sells much as she also home schools all the kids!! What a job. Notice how neat their house is kept. The folks on the Today Show said that when this family left the green room (the place they go before they are on the show) it was cleaner than it was when they came. Just proves it can be done with organization. They also built their own home. [size=150][color=#000080][b]Family of 17 KIDS +1 She just announced Friday that she's expecting her 18th!!!!!![/b][/color][/size] (((((((continued))))))))))

How many have heard about the Gosnell abortion case currently on trial? There's virtually a blackout in the mainstream media about this. I'm telling you...this just makes me ill. What evil.

Chick-fil-A will no longer give money to anti-gay groups (RNN) – Chick-fil-A will no longer give money to anti-gay organizations, according to an organization championing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. The move comes as part of a real estate deal in Chicago. So he caves in! Even though the Christian community gave him wonderful support.

I wanted to put this up here. Your good Christians. You didn't want this to happen of course. We have a flood of porn. Television filled with sin among other things. Just remember God hands people over to a reprobate mind. The floodgates are open now. I assume they are going to move to make this very acceptable to people I don't know. This could get really rough on a lot of people including the young people. What's good is we still have freedom of speech and we can preach the GOOD NEWS all day day long. The Gospel saves no other way. Time to get to work.

That is a sad state of affairs as almost all the deaths between now and then are preventable.

Hypothetical situation. Israel attacks the U.S. And you are commander in chief. Do you respond by attacking Israel in defense of the U.S.? Will God curse you for attacking them in this situation?

Only one of five people killed during bin Laden raid was armed And most are praising the Navy Seals for doing a perfect job. That will generate even more hate for America. So sad, 4 unarmed people killed. And many Americans are celebrating.

VERMONT CONSIDERS LEGALIZING TEEN 'SEXTING' http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,514875,00.html I personally believe the parents should be held accountable. Children, particularly within unsaved families will be involved in sin-sex behavior. Children under 18 would not be allowed to possess devices capable of this transmission. Anyone over the age of 18 should be prosecuted as a sex offender. How would you write the law to avoid this sin?

Some may say it was God's judgement and some may even blame God for the death and destruction in Oklahoma... "but the LORD was not in the wind:" 1 Kings 19:11 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Pray for those suffering from the devastation and sorrow of this recent storm.

Here's another nation that America helped destroy by meddling in their affairs. South Africa. Once one of the safest nations in the world now is ten times more violent than American and also has the highest rate of rape in the world. Once was one of the largest exporters now virtually produces nothing. Especially since all the farms has been stolen from the white landowners. Apparently they are going to follow the lead of other south African nations in wiping out the evil whitey. http://www.wnd.com/2012/08/genocide-looms-for-white-farmers/

The Patriot Act under George Bush may authorize certain things, but the current occupant of the White House is taking his power several steps too far, and he's preparing a coup d'etat. As for those Christian's who supported Patriot Acts 1 and II, shame on you. I never did and neither did most of our congregation. We understand human nature (s-i-n) and it's consequences for granting human government too much power just because they sell us a bill of goods that sounds good (hence feels good). Feelings have always taken precedence over fact and logic, even among believers. Feelings: can you trust them? _________________________________________________…

For the first time, the planet's top scientists said in a monumental report released on Monday they have definitively linked greenhouse gas emissions to the type of disasters driven by a warmer climate that have touched every corner of the globe this year: extreme rainfall in Germany and China, brutal droughts in the western U.S., a record cyclone in the Philippines and compound events like the wildfires and heat waves from the Pacific Northwest to Siberia to Greece and Turkey. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/09/climate-change-scientists-report-disastrous-502799

http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/futures-plummet-ugly-day-street-expected/ If your one of those "market optimists" and still have your money in a 401k or anything else involved in the stock market then I feel sorry for you. The market is crashing and you will never be able to retire since you are in the process of losing your life savings. I hate to say it, but I told you so! 1 Timothy 1:17 - Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
