Has anyone asked why she was "homeless"?
More importantly, I wonder how long until the place given to her ends up looking like a rundown shack.
Maybe the media should go over her with a fine-tooth comb the way they did Joe the Plumber.

Has anyone asked why she was "homeless"?
More importantly, I wonder how long until the place given to her ends up looking like a rundown shack.
Maybe the media should go over her with a fine-tooth comb the way they did Joe the Plumber.
And will our glorious overlord issue a proclaimation ordering us to observe White Hisotry Month as well?
According to Mohler, if someone leaves the ministry, it likely means they never had a calling to it to begin with.
This is more a medieval Catholic viewpoint seeing those in ministry somehow superior to the average Christian.
According to Protestantism, if all work is equally called by God whether it is secular or ecclesiastical and if people change jobs all the time, why can't someone be called into professional ministry for a portion of their lives and then be called elsewhere like any other occupation.
Or if Mohler is pressed further on this issue, will he also say that --- like marriage and church memebership in the eyes of the crowd Mohler often aligns himself with --- once someone has decided on a job, they are stuck with it for life.

But so long as they are not White males, Robert Reich should be happy.
Of course daddy is nothing but a sperm donor when you can suckle off the welfare teet.
According to a Washington Times story titled "Obama Now In Combat Mode", the President is headed to a posh Williamsburg resort where he and the politburo will wallow in luxury ringing their hands about the deteriorating economy.
It is estimated that the trip will cost at least $80,000 with this tabulation arrived at by factoring in the $70,000 it will cost Democratic leaders to charter an Amtrak train to the event and the $11,000 for food and the $7,000 spent on entertainment at this leftist orgy back in 2003.
If these frauds were really interested in addressing the nation's problems, they'd drive there themselves, pack their own snacks, and go outlet shopping on their own dime like the rest of us when on break.
Better yet, they don't need to go there at all because what are they going to do over the course of a single weekend that they don't get done the rest of the week while they are in Washington?
Readers need to be reminded that the President going to this event was the candidate who at one time lamented about the American people eating what we wanted, driving SUV's, and keeping our homes at 72 degrees.
Real leadership consists of not placing a set of expectations upon those following you that you yourself are not willing to abide by.
If President Obama was anything more than a poser, he would refuse to participate in this ostentatious consumption at taxpayer expense.

Guess he'll be this rounds token queer.
When I heard during the NCIS marathon on USA Network during one of those "Characters Welcome" segements that the individual coloring that creepy Communist-looking Obama "Hope" poster was a "street artist", I figured that was just an euphemism for graffitti vandal.
It has now been reported that the artist has been arrested on charges likely related to that particular form of urban mischief.
Ironically, some praising this hoodlum would applaud him as more of an artist than Norman Rockwell or Thomas Kincaid who actually drew and painted things that actually looked like things rather than toss a dab of color on something and claim it was theirs.
Rather fitting the artist heralded as embodying the spirit and values of the Obama administration would be someone with almost no respect for private property whatsoever.
Wonder if his opulent benefactors would be as enthusiastic if it was their property being spray painted?

Yet he places on the public take "children" that are 30 years-old and parents making nearly $80,000.
Sounds like she may have been sampling the employer's accounts.
Since she is not married and no father in sight, she should not get a single public penny.
At one point in its history, one could argue that the West was too sure of itself as the foremost of civilizations. However, such is no longer the case today.
In theory, pluralists and multiculturalists contend that no way of life or culture is better than any other. Thus, one would think that Western and American perspectives and traditions would be welcomed into this expanded showcase of human achievement.
Yet unless one wants to bash the West for its past short comings, they had better think again. If anything, one is expected to feel the same kind of shame in regards to the most innocuous of traditions that was once reserved for more carnal subjects during exceedingly Victorian times.
As an endearing symbol of all that is good and beautiful in the world, one would think there would be no reason whatsoever to get all flustered over a Christmas tree. However, liberals in media and education who any other time believe next to nothing should be hidden even for the sake of propriety and decorum can't even seem interestingly to speak this festive decoration's name nor even that of the celebration in which this symbol has come to play an integral part.
Plastered across the front page of the Gazette papers of the Washington, DC Metropolitan for the week of 12/25/08 in bold oversized typeface was an otherwise bland "Happy Holidays".
Above that and below a photo of an illuminated Christmas evergreen was a caption reading, "Crowds gather around the 60-foot tree for the lighting ceremony and fireworks show to kick off the holiday season on Nov. 28 at National Harbor." What holiday is this editor referring to --- Arbor Day?
Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month are just around the corner. Will this same paper tiptoe around these celebrations as well?
If not, why not? Christmas is probably celebrated by nearly 90% of the American population so we are basically forced to go out of our way to avoid stepping on the toes of a very miniscule demographic.
By default, there is probably a higher percentage than that among the White community who have thought to themselves (even if they lacked the backbone to vocalize their ruminations for fear of repercussions at the hand of the fanatically tolerant) that Black History Month is inherently racist since there is no officially designated counterpart for White folks to be applauded for simply being White folks. But then again, since those raising such concerns are usually conservative, their sensibilities will not be addressed.
Martin Luther is believed to have said that man is like a drunk reeling his head from one wall to the next. This can be interpreted as an analogy of how society careens back and forth between deleterious extremes.
In response to the efforts to expunge Christmas from American culture, some have not simply responded by declaring more than "Merry Christmas" irrespective of the consequences but rather by wearing to work what ostensively amounts to a Jesus costume consisting of a robe and a replica of a crown of thorns. Of this, I am reminded of a quote from King of the Hill where the titular character responds to a longhaired, tattooed preacher, “I’m sure Jesus is plenty of places he doesn’t want to be.”
While nothing should be done to employees that exercise their right of conscience by saying “Merry Christmas” rather than “Happy Holidays”, supervisors should not put up with subordinates showing up to work like this especially if the position deals with the public. It is, after all, the workplace under consideration and not a costume party.
Chesterton said, "It's the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense." From how many respond to Christmas in either censoring it entirely or becoming so consumed by it they end up looking like fools, it seems America may be tottering along the abyss of total lunacy.

See what happens to you if you don't pay the state what you owe it.
Shouldn't something similar happen to the state that does the same to you?
Regarding the condemnation of being concerned about the financial aspect of having children, perhaps parents ought to skimp on what goes into the offering plate when times are tight since the children ought to be your priority of ministry to begin with.
Frankly, so long as one is not fornicating or abusing one's spouse, somethings are just not the church's business.
The drunk that use to live next to my parents thought a light in the backyard was the devil.
It might be cut from the stimulus package, but don't expect this to go away as it is part of the socialistic mindset now running the government.
If you can't afford to pay, don't play.
If what you do in the bedroom is no one else's businesses, don't expect anyone else to provide for these recreations and luxuries.
Is because of attitudes like this that America's economy is on the brink of collapse and we no longer win our wars.
At least is good to see this mindset extends to athletics now and not just academics where I use to be told in class to put my hand down for knowing more answers than most and that "we already know what you are going to say".
Those extracting this fine are those our New Lord thinks no longer belong on the Axis of Evil and worthy of sitting down in a negotiations between civilzed nations.
Thought such tragedies did not transpire in utopian social democracies.
Portents of the Obama administration's opinion of the average American?
Yet another chance for liberals to tell you how wonderful they are and superior to we working slobs.
Wonder if they would have done the same to the ensigns defiled by the image of their false god?
About left the Mall the way most of their neighborhoods look.
Guess His Highness would admonish how individual litter bugs shouldn't be held responsible and how it is the obligation of those of us already employed nine to five to go out and pick up after the slobs.
Need to remember that during the campagin, Obama lamented about Americans having too much freedom to eat what we want.
So much for the White separatists we've been hearing on and on about for days now.

These dupes can do as they please, however, the real question is what will they do to you when you do not take a loyalty oath to the New Lord?
It is understandable that most would take an interest in the peaceful transitions of power that take place in the United States between one administration to the next as it is a skill less civilized countries have failed to master; however, what is taking place right now in relation to Barack Obama is downright frightening and almost idolatrous in its implications
About the most disgraceful piece of commemorative inaugural memorabilia I've seen is a flag with Obama's visage emblazoned across it.
The flag is a symbol of the United States that ought to remain above the holders of the office sworn to protect it.
To defile it in this manner is an act as almost disgusting as burning it.
It has been my contention that if Obama is not the Anti-Christ, he is certainly a stand in for the dress rehearsal as Satan works out the kinks.
A plot element central to the narrative of the Book of Revelation is something known as the "Mark of the Beast" that all dwelling upon the earth must receive as a sign of loyalty to this tyrannical regime.
Interestingly, Obama worshipers are not without their own version as a story on Fox and Friends on 1/18/09 chronicled someone disfiguring their body with an Obama tattoo.
One might respond that Obama cannot be held responsible for the devotion of his followers and should not be perceived as an aspiring dictator because of it.
Frankly though, he has done next to nothing to discourage it and in fact seems to be encouraging these ostentatious trappings of power.
For example, if Obama is the epochal figure of Hegelian proportions he is made out to be, shouldn't he be putting a stop to all these worshipful inaugural ceremonies, especially in light of the financial crisis the country faces?
So I guess when he says we will all be called upon to sacrifice, that does not include the accolades he will have heaped upon himself.
More concrete proposals being considered just about come straight from Hitler's playbook.
For starters, there is the Obama tribute film reminiscent of Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph Of The Will."
Ironically, this cinematic glorification of the Fuehrer is actually less audacious in its titling than the one about the new President called "Believe" as if he is somehow deserving of our prayerful adoration.
Even more frightening are a couple of administrative initiatives being bandied about by Obama's supporters.
One hopes to turn his vast army of volunteers and online minions into a "service" organization existing apart from the government (can anyone say SA or SS).
Another seeks to establish a position within the White House that would basically amount to a secretary of art and culture that would establish an "artists corps" at the beck and control of the government, no doubt to paint massive portraits of Obama himself on the sides of public buildings before it's all over with.
So in these hard economic times where we are told how it is imperative that we all cut back with Obama at one time lamenting how Americans should not be able to eat what we want, drive SUV's, or keep our homes at a constant 70 degrees, we are to be financing new financial outlays in support of what amounts to unnecessary aesthetic debaucheries.
Truthful historians of the 80's and 90's will recall that government funded art was usually a euphemism for crosses submerged in urine, dung smeared portraits of the Virgin Mary, and floors painted to look like the America flag so you could not get through a room without having to trample across Old Glory.
With all the fanatical behavior being exhibited, one must stop to ask would this devotion reach such a fever pitch if Obama was White or, even more importantly, conservative?
Makes you wonder if they are wrapped up in the man or the undeserved handouts he plans to give them.

While on the surface it sounds like a good idea to go after the assets of violent gang leaders, one has to ask will these actions confine themselves to actual street gangs?
For example, in the late 80's or early 90's, the RICO Act, a piece of legislation designed to attack the mafia was invoked against pro-life organizations.
Likewise, will gangs come to be defined as any organization at odds with prevailing government policy.
Furthermore, what is to stop the government from declaring that a particular area is so infected by pervasive gang activity that it can just move in and seize every single property or to manufacture false charges against the owner of a particular envied holding?

Interesting examinations of how certain religious thinkers believe this technology can be applied to eliminate the physical effects of original sin.
With as much animus as they already have against them, fanatics in the homeschool movement really ought to be cautious about alienating conservatives who would otherwise side with them.
If homeschoolers are going to chant the mantra of the state minding its own business over matters none of its concern, shouldn't the same apply to the church as well?
