ah, I long for judges who would simply enforce laws against bribes...

Just to be on topic, what Hume said was true. No other religion offers forgiveness of sin.

Many religions talk of sin. Many religions offer suggestions for ridding oneself of the effects of sin, usually some offering or sacrifice or punitive action to oneself. Christianity alone has offered one sacrifice, Jesus himself, completely erasing the sin that keeps us from relationship with God Almighty.

If I were given the choice of which place to live... the beach in Cuba, or a small town in often snowy Illinois... what a choice. Prisons? We should be building hotels in Cuba!

The Day Global Warming Ended.
"Its done. It's over. Get a life."

I love it. Well, I'll miss the jokes. I will no longer be able to wait for Seattle to have San Francisco's weather.

Thank you, Senator Snowe, for upholding the will of the people.
Now... Read the Constitution!

I've been thinking. Suburban/rural hunters do not have the same attitude about guns that innercity gangs do. So, I've been thinking.

Maybe.... some of our official Hunter Safety Class Teachers could go on sort of a "Missions Trip" to the inner city. They could teach gun safety. They could teach gun law. They could teach Respect to law enforcement. They could teach that when you're hunting you wear orange!

Just a thought.
I've got friends to whom I really may suggest this. Do you suppose the gangs would let them teach?

and we conservatives think fox is way too middle of the road. we think no one speaks for us.

The Bible talks a lot about finances. Both the Torah and Jesus spoke more about finances than most other topics. The Bible expects Honesty, Integrity and Generosity.

The book of Proverbs is full of advice for finances and also for politicians.

That's why it has always been the most read book in the world. Try it.

I am a Faith Based American. I've done years of anti-abortion work, spent my life homeschooling my little flock of children, and taught years and years of children's religious classes. I qualify as "one of Them".

Two comments.
1. If a person has so few morals that he will murder babies, there's not much hope that he will deal morally with money. Financial conservative morals look flakey to a Moral Conservative. We don't trust you.

2. In my teaching of homeschool teenagers, I once taught a class on 20th century American History. I discovered Socialism. We're in deep trouble, fellow Faithers. Socialism not only controls our money, but our Religion.
Pay attention to the Money Talking Conservatives!

Bribes: Money. Things. Positions of authority.

Enforce the Law, judges.
