Banned by the BASTARDS at FreeRepublic.com. If you really believed in FREEDOM, wouldn't you offer people an explanation why you have summarily banned someone? They are not really CONSERVATIVES, especially if they will not allow one to post links to articles on Transhumanism and another to conservative columnist Rachel Alexander's insightful piece regarding the strings of the Occupy movement being pulled by a transexual activist.
Parents Demand Right To Treat Kids' Classmates Like Excrement On Valentine's Day
Foodie Beatniks Sustain Themselves By Inserting Their Noses Into Their Backsides
The cover of the March 2014 issue of Mother Jones Magazine reads, “Kidnapped By Iran: One minute we were hiking up a mountain. The next we were pawns in the nuclear chess game.” Are we to believe that there is some kind of spatial displacement anomaly in Yellowstone that whisks the unsuspecting to the other side of the world? What did these listless beatniks think was going to happen vacationing in these parts of the world? If nothing else, hopefully these deadbeats will be disimbued of the notion about all cultures being equal.

McGruff The Crime Dog Tossed In Slammer For 16 Years For Drugs & Weapons Charges
If we can’t believe in a God capable of creating the universe in seven days, why ought we to believe in a God that can pull off other things like the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection? If we are to view the opening account of the Book of Genesis as literary and figurative, why not these other essential doctrines the faith would be pointless to follow without?

Why shouldn’t a Catholic school be allowed to fire a teacher that got pregnant outside of marriage? Though the Catholic schools usually aren’t as fanatical, from my own first hand occupational research I know that there are some Christian schools with a moral clause so ironclad that it equates going to the movies with joining a secret society. Thus, in such eyes, watching Star Wars is as bad as lighting a cross as a member of the Ku Klux Klan or prancing around naked in some Free Mason ritual.

In a Facebook update in reference to a blizzard, Glenn Beck writes, “In the middle of the country we don't complain, we shovel.” Technically, that is a veiled complaint. First, it is complaining about complaining. Secondly, it is vocalizing in a roundabout way how dissatisfied one is with the conditions one is referencing.
What About Male Heart Disease?
As one must do repeatedly in this politically correct culture, one must ask are men that die less dead than WOMENNNNNN that do so?
And if, statistically, women live longer than men and men are having fewer years of life, then why aren’t those deaths just as deserving of a targeted propaganda campaign?
Furthermore, shouldn’t WOMENNNNN so wrapped up in what is between their legs so as to ignore health warnings that do not directly address individuals on the basis of what is between their legs be condemned for failing to embrace the comprehensive range of gender identities displayed by the human species?
Does Southern Baptist Functionary Limit Reasons Over Which One May Leave A Church?
That is the idea, to phrase it bluntly, often referred to as “Name It, Claim It” where it is believed the Christian can through the power of God in general and the Holy Spirit in particular speak into existence physical health and material prosperity.
Mohler’s position was in the end correct, assuring the caller that this doctrinal aberration was sufficient grounds to leave a church.
However, a few of the assumptions used along his chain of ratiocination ought to give one pause.
According to Mohler, one may only leave a church over explicit violations Biblical doctrine.
One may never depart over secondary matters or more intangible concerns where if not addressed won’t result in overwhelming physical or spiritual harm but would very well prevent an individual from living life to the fullest.
So why then is a pastor permitted to pull up stakes and head for pastures where he can obtain a fatter salary or more satisfying opportunities?
Why shouldn’t they be stuck there like the saps in the seats?
If There Is Nothing Wrong With Pot, Why Can't It Be Consumed Openly?
But if there is nothing inherently questionable about this pharmacological compound and its preferred form of combustible vaporized conveyance, why shouldn't one be able to use it out in the open?
Should a diabetic be fined if they need to use an insulin pen on a public street?
Should an asthmatic be detained by police if they need a puff from their inhaler while walking down the sidewalk?
WMAL morning host Brian Wilson astutely remarked that this issue focuses around what kind of image Washington, DC wants to project to the world.
But if marijuana is to be considered as no different than anything else an individual wants to take into their body, what is to prevent legislation from being enacted forbidding the consumption of junk food in a public picnic area or even in front of children as part of a campaign to encourage healthy eating and nutrition?

Preach Even If They Won't Let You
Right off the bat, the Presbyterian pastor delivering the message concluded from Matthew 10:1-16 that one should not attempt to do so unless called to do so by Christ.
That is all well and good because nothing without Jesus at the center will endure.
The thing of it is is that Jesus is not exactly here right now in the physical, objective sense to tap the individual on the shoulder to convey these intentions.
This pastor warned that the believer must not pronounce religious or doctrinal exhortation without permission granted by established ecclesiastical authorities.
But what if one lives in an era or milieu where one is not likely to be extended such a blessing by nearly any organized authority? Does that mean we are to remain silent?
If we are to dig around in the New Testament for examples upon which to model our actions, it seems to me many of the founding Evangelists continued to speak out despite the overwhelming opposition of religious elites.
When commanded to stop the proclamation of the Gospel, Peter and the other Apostles responded in Acts 5:29, “We are to obey God rather than man.”
You might not be welcomed in a church building, but these days the electronic pulpit is nearly everywhere and available to anyone willing to step forward.
