Matthew 19: 11-12

Eunuchs who are born eunuchs.

Some scholars agree that this refers to homosexual men (as the event of a man born without testicles is too rare for Jesus to have mentioned). Your thoughts?

WOOT! Powerful.

Lawsuit?

Can I sue FOXnews for using scare tactics? Seriously. Luckily, I am now convinced FOXNews will be little more than a tabloid newspaper by 2020. Piece of crap opinion-rama.

Things Aren't Worth What They Used To Be

I like the cynical end of this story. :)

This is why I'm keeping an eye on Jim. These people are crazy, and are quickly becoming a legitimate threat to our national security. Just like President Obama (or any president) can use any excuse to shove us under martial law (cause that's the power they wield, right?), these groups can use any excuse to begin attacking innocent lives. The second they feel threatened, they will react.

This is sick. Oh, and the CIA isn't the organization following him. It's most likely CID and FBI. I also love the quality of citizens the army is accepting nowadays. Very honorable of them to allow crazy people to be cannon fodder.

Augh.\

What being a liberal means to me

And now, of course, a retort:

I look for solutions instead of letting the problems stop me in my tracks. I don't stop looking for solutions due to the superficial excuses of tradition, culture, belief, "that's how it's always been", etc. I am progressive.

I don't let the beliefs of others hamper my abilities to find new and better ways of living. I would not stop chopping a tree for firewood just because I live in a community of Wiccans, par exemple.

I value life. I value freedom from pain, anger, suffering, hunger, torture, etc. I believe everybody has a right to life, liberty, happiness and comfort. Anyway I can help bring that happiness and comfort, I'll do it.

I believe in the benefit of doubt. I will never know a complete story. I will never know enough to judge anyone. Therefore, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.

I believe in letting the punishment fit the crime. I do not believe in torture in any sense.

I believe that the ends justify the means. This belief can easily be taken to the extreme, but so can being stubborn.

That is what being a liberal means to me. That is why I'm proud to be a liberal. That's why I am proud to call myself progressive. I firmly believe that Jesus and Muhammad (blessings be upon them) would be classified as liberals today.

What being a conservative means to me

So, i recently became a "fan of being conservative" on facebook and bry asked if I know what it means to be "conservative". Well, here's were I stand:

I want to be able to purchase firearms and ammo without excessive taxes on my right to bear arms. I want to hoard those guns and shoot animals for sport. Overpopulation of a species is bad for the environment. No amnesty for illegals, bring back prayer into schools and the promise of hell in the afterlife as punishment for immoral living; stop affirmative action, kick the goverment out of private business decisions, reward hardworking AMericans with tax breaks and punish those who mooch off the system by establishing stricter guidelines on government support...am I missing anything? Now, to make things interesting, I do believe in equal rights - civil unions, etc for the sake of creating and supporting strong families, whether gay or straight...strong family values are what will make this nation great and our future brighter. I don't believe the govt has any business determining how healthcare should be distributed. As a server, making less than $25K a year, I purchased my own health insurance. I didn't go without and I certainly did not expect the govt to take care of me. I'm pro-life--if you make a grown up decision to engage in procreation activities but don't want children, you have a responsbilty to keep that from happening so that an innocent life is not cut short--don't believe in birthcontrol? Don't have sex. Biology is amazing, women can figure out when to say no. I believe in corporal punishment under the law...hypocritical, I know as a Prolifer, but if some bastard hurts my family he/she will pay for their actions and it will be painful. Lethal injection stuff is ridiculous, it should be scary and it should hurt. The victims were scared and hurting without mercy given to them... So, yeah, that's what I stand for.

Optimism

I am so fucking optimistic right now. Everything will be fine as long as DADT is taken away by the end of the year.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too far, but...tears are coming to my eyes as I think about my future.

Thank God for Obama. Thank God for Gates. Let's get this done.
