SrWoodchuck Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 does this mean Republicans have to get all touchy feely and give everyone what they want, it's fine if Susie and Billy want tol live together but not work so give them money or Sally has 4 kids without marriage or job so we have to support the children and so on and so on, because we can't let anyone do without if they aren't willing to work for it. @cudjo! No. It's only going to be fun for the gimme's until there's no money left. We can live our belief. Let the others camp out in Mom's basement. I'm luckier than most, though......I don't have anything left to give...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 West campaign to contest razor-thin loss in Florida David Eldridge 11/7/12 The campaign of Rep. Allen B. West, a Florida Republican freshman and tea party favorite who trails Democrat Patrick Murphy by 2,456 votes with 100 percent of the votes counted, said Wednesday the controversial lawmaker will seek a recount in a race that is “far from decided.” West campaign manager Tim Edson, in a statement released Wednesday, said that “there is no rush to declare an outcome.” “Ensuring a fair and accurate counting of all ballots is of the utmost importance,” he added. “There are still tens of thousands of absentee ballots to be counted in Palm Beach County and potential provisional ballots across the district… . Given the hostility and demonstrated incompetence of the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, we believe it is critical that a full hand recount of the ballots take place in St. Lucie County. We will continue to fight to ensure every vote is counted properly and fairly, and accordingly will pursue all legal means necessary.” (Snip) Allen West Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrWoodchuck Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 America goes into the darkness http://melaniephilli...to-the-darkness The greatest satisfaction today over the re-election of Obama is not being felt in the Democratic Party. It is not being felt among the media, who are no longer objective observers but have turned instead into corrupt partisans who ruthlessly censored the truth about Obama and helped peddle his demonising propaganda about his opponent. It is not being felt among the gloating, drooling decadents of the western left who now scent a great blood-letting of all who dare defy their secular inquisition. No, the greatest satisfaction is surely being felt in Iran. Romney lost because he refused to provide an alternative to any of this for fear of being labelled a warmonger, flint-heart or social reactionary. He refused to engage with any of the issues that made this Presidential election so truly momentous. Up against the bullying of the totalitarian left, he ran for cover. He played safe, and as a result only advertised his own weakness and dishonesty. Well, voters can smell inconsistency from a mile away; they call it untrustworthiness, and they are right. Romney lost because, like Britain’s Conservative Party, the Republicans just don’t understand that America and the west are being consumed by a culture war. In their cowardice and moral confusion, they all attempt to appease the enemies within. And from without, the Islamic enemies of civilisation stand poised to occupy the void.

(WaPo.com’s front-page headline: “A quick pivot after election.”) But … isn’t this always what Boehner says when asked about a grand bargain?

SrWoodchuck Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 From an e-mail today: + A 2,500-Year-Old Letter Written for Today I want to share with you a letter that, although 2,500 years old, it could have been written this morning. For us. For faithful patriots who feel like they just discovered they will have to live at least the next four years in exile. This letter was written to Jewish exiles who had been pushed out of Jerusalem and forced to live under a tyrannical ruler named Nebuchadnezzar. The exiles wanted one thing: they wanted to be re-established back in Israel. They even had a prophet named Hananiah come to them and tell them that their time of exile would only last two years. You can read about it in Jeremiah 28. Hananiah was a false prophet. He died. And so Jeremiah wrote a letter to the exiles. You've probably heard a part of that letter recited many times. It's one of the most commonly quoted passages in the entire Bible. Unfortunately, this passage is mostly taken out of its proper context and delivered as a "feel good" word that everything is going to be O.K. One of my friends was quoting this verse yesterday morning: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Those words sound so good. The future is bright. God has a plan for prosperity, for a real hope and a real future. On the eve of the election, it must have meant a Romney win, the GOP takes the Senate and we start the rollback of the Obama regime, right? Not exactly. + + The Plan Was Exile Here's the shocking context of Jeremiah 29 (and I offer to you, the context for November 6, 2012): the plan was exile. That was the "plan" Jeremiah's letter was talking about. I encourage you to go read all of Jeremiah 29. Here is the immediate context: This is what the Lord says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you ..." The plan was 70 years of exile. Keep that in mind the next time someone quotes Jeremiah 29:11 to encourage you that your time of trouble will soon end. Not only was the exile going to last 70 years, the exile WAS the plan! If you don't believe me, go back and read the beginning of the letter, from Jeremiah 29:4. Here you'll see the Lord (through Jeremiah) giving the Jewish exiles specific instructions on how to conduct themselves in exile: --Build houses and settle down. --Plan gardens and eat what they produce. --Marry and have sons and daughters. --Marry off your sons and daughters so they can have children. --Increase in number; do not decrease. Again, remember the context. A false prophet had just come and said the time of exile would only last two years. That prophet died. The truth is, the people will be in exile for 70 years. And the directive is to build families, grow businesses, think trans-generationally and increase. + + Seek the Welfare of the Land It gets better. Because Jeremiah's letter makes it clear that building and marrying is not enough. People in exile must do something else -- they must be a blessing to the land. "Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." So let's review. First, the plan is exile. Second, build. Third, bless. Simple, clear instructions. But why was this important? Why a "plan" for exile with specific instructions on how to act in exile? Historians tell us it was during the Babylonian captivity that the Israelites moved from a Temple/Jerusalem focused society to a synagogue and community focused society. Simply put ...It was the lessons learned during their time in exile which enabled the Jews to survive 2,500 years in exile. But not just survive -- but to thrive and become the most prosperous, most successful and most innovative people group in the history of civilization. Exile was the plan. So that's why, today, I'm going to build. And I'm going to plant. I'm going to bless. And I'm going to pray. For that is the final piece to the puzzle ... "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." So let's get building. Let's get planting. And let's get praying. And let's bless this land. There are lessons to be learned in exile. Steve Elliott, Grassfire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokke Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Fortunately, they aren't our future leaders. They are the typical, know nothing, going to college on daddy's dime college kids who have existed in our country for decades. They graduate, take middle income jobs, accomplish nothing, and retire. If they're lucky, at some point they become less ignorant and their political ideology reverses. But that doesn't happen until their 40's or later. They are condemned to a life of mediocraty, and through their ignorance, just guaranteed themselves a life of debt. My heart bleeds for them. Snort.

SrWoodchuck Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Found this at: http://themellowjihadi.com/2012/11/07/navy-guy-election/ There is a sadness, somewhat, not in the winners of the offices, but in the choices of celebrities who have outed themselves as rabidly against my chosen candidates, propositions, or measures. So with that in mind, I’ve decided to never again spend a dollar in support of any project they are involved. Yes, we live in capitalistic society and yes, I am voting with my dollar. I’ve turned a blind eye at times to go to a movie featuring an actor or actress outspoken in his or her beliefs. No longer will that be the case. The public made you rich and the opposite can be true. You want to graphitti the internet with how you view the world, I support withholding the very dollars that bought you that venomous spraypaint. I agree with it in principle.....exercise capitalism! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 October Revolution: This Time We Can Make It Work! http://thepeoplescub...work-t9969.html Comment from the link [some great posted pics, too]: MarkCuban 11/7/2012, 9:32 pm •How better to improve the lives of the downtrodden by changing the rules of living Comrades, this is simple. First we shout revolutionary slogans from the window of our apartment. I suggest as a warm up some charming quotes from Hitler's Mein Kampf. As Comrade Adolph once said, “All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt to the perception of the least intelligent of those whom it intends to direct itself.” Thus it only makes sense to use Barbara Streisand lyrics in our fiery rhetoric. This behavior will further enable the masses to believe that anything is possible under the guise of Dear Leader's care for all peoples and mammals. Once we have drawn large crowd's similar to the "One's" near filling of the first row in movie theaters during his tireless campaigning, we then subtley begin our collective effort to transform the lives of the evil 53% by parroting Maher'isms until they submit to the utopia which Dear Leader promises. After a few mindless hours, those who surround us will have been transformed from hypocrite, liar, and capital terrorist, to everyone is now equal, no owners, no rich, and no poor. Oh how changing the rules of living through artistic purpose brings a single tear to one eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Republican ahead in race for Giffords’ former seat Paul Mirengoff 11/8/12 Republican Martha McSally holds a very fragile 400 vote lead over Democrat Ron Barber in the race for Arizona’s Second Congressional District, formerly held by Gabrielle Giffords. McSally is a retired United States Air Force colonel. She was the first American woman to fly in combat following the 1991 lifting of the prohibition of women in combat, and the first woman to command a USAF fighter squadron. Barber was a career bureaucrat and a congressional staffer for Gabrielle Gifford whom he succeeded in Congress. More than 228,000 votes have been counted. However, it appears that more than 70,000 have not. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
