Did you see the Houston (SugarLand) story about the Obama supporter attacking the McKain's? I put it up on my blog. Unfortunately this form of idiocy is becoming all too popular in our area. I hesitate to put any form of political statement on my car. My mini would end up crushed.

It was guaranteed to the state when Texas was annexed by the United States. In addition TX continues to have the right to divide itself into five individual states. Now that isn't such a bad proposition.... Texas would then have 10 senators...... Homeschooling is the only way to go in my book. But then it was my life for 17 years.

In fact, while a number of people were horrified when Obama said he would send troops into Pakistan to get Osama (or I hope to target al Qaeda) that removed some of my fears about him. I had been afraid he was one of those folks who think war never solves anything and would simply bring everybody home. On the other hand, though I would regard myself as center-left, I'm pretty annoyed with many of the same folks referenced in your quote. There's a substantial difference between "Iraq was the wrong way to use our resources at the time, we should use them ____ (other strategic goal here)" and "we shouldn't send troops to Iraq because we shouldn't send troops anywhere."

And I would like to know how the hell they proved 1 million dollars in "damages" in the first place. The appeals court in Texas will probably have a say about this. And it's the principle of the thing we're fighting for. If we can't even mention God in public -- which is what the ACLU wants -- then no, I doubt the Holy Spirit will be saving a whole lot of people in America. I'm really not sure I buy the nonsense about persecution growing the church. If it adheres to the truth, the church will grow regardless, and it will grow faster the more people hear its message.

In an attempt to "reach" others Christians have often isolated themselves from the ones that really need to be reached. I would have to strongly agree with your last paragraph.

Just look at how they recently discussed Obama's 20-tear spiritual journey and never mentioned Rev. Wright. I wonder if Pravda simply sprang up on it's own without Lenin having to start it.

Thanks to the milblogs, we now can find the truth if we look. What really terrifies me is the totally over-the-top shilling for Obama. He's touring Baghdad like General McLellan would have toured Atlanta in 1864, but he's getting all the adulation as if he's the one who personally secured the place. A press in love with a leader is a very dangerous thing. This kind of stuff has been happening forever. Thanks to the milblogs, we now can find the truth if we look.
