It is claimed that the Constitution forces elected officials to be paid their salaries during the government shutdown. So apparently there are provisions of the federal charter that the President and Congress are principled enough not to violate. Why can't an amendment be set into motion to correct this oversight?
On the 10/1/13 episode of Crossfire, Senator Debbie Stabenow claimed that on the first day of Obamacare availability five times as many attempted to access the program's website than any day on the Medicare website. That's because Medicare is targeted towards the elderly adverse to spilling their guts online whereas Obamacare appeals to youthful deadbeats so hooked on the web that they have to post a status update every time they take a bowel movement.
Will Jewish Meddlers Conspire To Derail Chesterton's Canonization?
From the way they sound, you would have thought he was a guard at Aushwitz or Dr. Mengele's lab assistant.

Is Rick Santorum A Crypto-Luddite?
Santorum shared that the electric light central to the storyline symbolizes man's over-reliance on technology and lack of reliance on God.
But without the electric light, isn't it doubtful that the cinematic tools would have been developed whereby the artists working under Santorum would be able to share this narrative vision with a wider audience?
More importantly, weren't the candles he lionizes as a beatifically superior conveyance of illumination at one time the cutting edge of technology?
As such, would the holier thing to do have been to simply sit in the dark waiting for the sun to rise the next morning in compliance with God's timetable rather than man's?

Theocrats Equate Enunciating Meteorological Preferences With Blaspheming God
So where does degree of nitpicking end?
Taking this idea to its logical conclusion, is it murmuring against God to express dislike for a certain food that He has created?
It is an accepted postulate of Christian historiography that empires and potentates cannot rise without God allowing them to in the sense of at least not doing anything to block the ascension of these onto the world stage.
Thus, is one spitting in the face of the Almighty each time one expresses dissatisfaction with an elected or government official?
Often, those holding to this strict of a view regarding the sovereignty of God also believe in the idea of theocracy or theonomy where the Bible does not merely serve as a source inspiring the moral principles enacted into law but rather in its totality serves in its totality as the non-negotiable legal code.
So in such an idealized regime, would those verbalizing otherwise innocuous preferences about the prevailing atmospheric conditions be arrested for further interrogation?
If believers are to be so pent up and stifled that they can't even mention how they really feel about the weather, they are going to end up with stress ulcers and mental depression.
But I guess the upshot of that is that the clergy will be provided with additional fodder to heap condemnation up the congregation for the purposes of sewing the seeds for further spiritual manipulation.
If this is how and to the extent to which a pastor should control a church, the minister should not be dumbfounded when hardly sticks around the parish for very long.

In a homily, Pope Francis has suggested that God be sought through Mary. While she is of impeccable moral character for an individual stained by sin needing a Savior like the remainder of humanity, if you really want to have an encounter with God beyond the literary or historical, you are going to have to go through His only begotten son. As in the case with her Son, the Virgin Mary is no doubt embarrassed at times by what some of her well intended by errant followers have to say about her.
Pope Francis wishes good will and peace to the people of Egypt. Wonder if he will direct the same kind sentiments to Protestants which, unless he's going to cave in regards to this issue as he seems on the verge of doing in regard to so many others, he doesn't even view as real Christians as part of a real church.
If a child can be punished by a school over a recreational activity the student participates in during the student's own time on the parents' property, what is to prevent educational authorities from punishing students that attend a house of worship violating the school's diversity and inclusion policy?
A fanatic homeschooler threw a tizzy about a growing trend of people being buried alongside their pets. So long as the animal's life is not prematurely ended, does it really matter? It is claimed that this practice undermines the preeminence of human relationships. So I guess you are also a heathen now of your family doesn't feed those assembled to gawk at your corpse that wouldn't pass gas in your face when you were alive.
Those calling for more of an emphasis on the Old Testament, in all likelihood, won't be satisfied with increased doses of Psalms, Proverbs, or the Messianic prophecies. In a manner similar to the way these same theologians enunciate the lamentation that no Christian candidates are running in a particular election as code that no candidate embraces their particular brand of theocratic extremism, this call is for a renewed emphasis on the Old Testament is actually a longing to see many of the obscure laws and customs intended specifically for ancient Israel to be imposed upon the world of the early mid twenty-first century.

SE Cupp Attacked Not So Much For Being A Pro-Gay Atheist Buth Rather For Not Having Ever Been Married Nor Spawned
In the 14th issue of the 2013 edition of the Accuracy In Media newsletter, SE Cupp’s conservative credentials are called into question because she is a woman that has never married nor spawned. Yet nothing is said about Gingrich’s three marriages, during two of which he was already holding tryouts for replacements in the sack before these unions were legally dissolved.
