I would be happy to actually see some substantial criticism.





"If a sheerly linguistic version of the gospel could be concocted, it would merely so be no longer the gospel. In the Lutheran Reformation’s understanding, which we believe in this matter to be correct, the sacraments make the inalienable externality of the gospel message and therefore are necessary to the authenticity of that message." (Christian Dogmatics [1984], II:302-303 as cited in Pontifications)

Obama Will Win

Posted by Michael S. Rozeff on August 16, 2012 05:36 AM


Intrade has Obama at 56.7%, down from about 59%. Romney's more pointed attacks and choice of Ryan have coincided with this decline. Nevertheless, I feel (based on no research except general reading and knowledge) Obama will win. Meanwhile, an excellent case of insider trading can be brought against Paul Ryan. He had what is called "material nonpublic information" and acted upon it. Will the SEC do that? Ha-ha-ha.

Ron Paul was the strongest candidate for the nomination, but the Republicans chose to die instead, wedded to their habits of thought and their ingrained channels of power, influence and money. Paul could have hit Obama very hard by melding the negatives of deficits (and looming breaking of social promises) with useless foreign wars and spending into a positive program of reducing government spending while cutting taxes and taking steps to restructure the social programs and eliminate whole departments. He could have attacked Obama on the TSA and on the FED.

Don't vote.





I hate to break it to the peeps, but your chances of being killed or wounded in a terrorist incident are so close to zero that they might as well be zero. Worry far more about slipping in the tub.

You are going to hell. What makes you think I care? You can stop pretending that Romney is an enemy. You know he isn't. You know he will win. You know he will not repeal his own socialized medicine law. You know he will allow people like you to murder babies if they are inconvenient to you.

I don't think he will. Not that it matters either way. Obama gets 40-45% of the vote. Splitting the difference between Carter and Mondale. Carter got 45% in 1980. That should scare the hell out of non communists Americas, which is 75% of the populace.

Do you make an effort to be an unpleasant turd or does it come naturally?





Theocrats are Social Darwinists.



Christianity has nothing applicable, appropriate, or worthwhile to offer the 21st century.
