Of course, these junkets only take place during the winter here in the north.

And NATO and Amnesty International support the ICC in its findings. But Frank was against the ICC issuing those warrants because he thought that the next guy in charge could be worse.

You would never hear this sort of horsepockey emanating from Billy Graham's mouth, and Graham himself often found himself confounded by the tricky shoals of politics. But he responded and recanted or reclarified in honest fashion.<br /><br />As a Christian, it feeds my heart to the brim to read all of the comments on this blog because I feel them to be spot on. And yes, even when Gryph goes postal on the Christians, his basis is much the same as Jesus's. (You won't mind me saying that, will you Gryph?) The hypocrisy, the posing, the manipulation to serve human, financial, political and social power by means religious. It's disgusting. <br /><br />It's disgusting enough if you are an atheist. Believe me, it hurts double if you are a Christian, or any other person of faith.<br /><br />Just sayin' - you don't have to believe in Christ to at least ponder this notion - this was the exact message this guy dedicated his whole life and death to exposing, trying to lift and empower the human spirit beyond such political, financial and self serving garbage.<br /><br />It seems the Pharisees will ever be among us.

It's all about money and power for them and if Jesus himself told them he supported universal healthcare these "Christians" would crucify him again. The problem is not true Christianity. The problem is extremists bastardizing it for their own ends. <br /><br />To all of my fellow Christians who are also saddened by this, read Psalms 37 and also visit www.sojo.net. There are many Christian progressives out there who get it right. And to the atheists,including Gryphen, there is a big difference between the life, character and teachings of Jesus and the cruel lies these wolves in sheeps clothing have been spouting.

More than what Santorum did when one of his voters said Obama is a Muslim. <br /><br />Another point that came up (& no I didn't listen to all of it) is Santorum saying Obama has a different "Theocracy" over the weekend. I'll give Santorum benefit of the doubt he MEANT Philosophy. To me - that is one of the credits I give to Obama - he wasn't raised on Lake Ave. in Chicago or Hampton beach front property, he lived in other countries, other cultures / religions, - he experienced life outside the US. So, of course, his "world view" is going to be different than someone who only vacationed in the Rosa Zones in another country. <br /><br />Another, highly visible plus (IMHO) for Obama was being raised by a hard working educated loving mother & grandparents. Obviously, Santorum was not and his beliefs reflect his low opinion & lack of respect of women.Enjay in E MTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-15495173592622796052012-02-21T15:07:32.781-09:002012-02-21T15:07:32.781-09:001:36 -
