  1. And then, when you are in the recovery stage you realize you were a complete fuck-up. At least it's true in my case. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  2. I look at the extreme end result of BHO's presidency. If he gets everything he wants; if the Republicans simply roll over and a budget is approved; if the progressive agenda is fully implemented, how is America going to be better off?

  3. I assume you are aware of the tax increases within Obamacare. Those are pretty scary for me. Everywhere you look within the BHO plan is tax debate. He wants the federal government to control your and my life. I don't like that. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  4. By picking away at the individual points you detract from the concept of increasing government size and aiming toward more socialism. You ask me why I was worried and I told you. Some of the points are certainly debatable and some have not occurred. That $4/gal of gas was a quote from his lips way back in the beginning. Another quote from BHO was that fossil fuel energy plants would be taxed out of existence. His direction is not good for the strength of the country. Think conceptually.

  5. I retired in 2/2009. As I recall the official terminology changed in early 2008. Our executive director informed us that we were no longer a drug treatment program. We, the industry, was focusing on dual diagnosis treatment. My reasoning is that the change made for a more viable phraseology for funding. For example, client/patient has a psychiatric Axis I disorder and an Axis I substance use disorder. It also obfuscates the difference between alcohol and drugs. Alcoholics tend to reject the notion of being addicts. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  6. What has he accomplished so far that has you so worried? Is it just the healthcare law, or are there other things, too?

  7. In the last substance use disorder treatment program where I was employed had a frequent mantra. Namely, God is not fair, life is not fair, be grateful. In other words, be thankful for what you have and the implication, be thankful you don't get what you deserve. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  8. What has he accomplished so far that has you so worried? Is it just the healthcare law, or are there other things, too? Keystone XL Pipeline Gas @ $4.00 +/gal, desired Abolishing fossil fuels through EPA Sympathetic towards factions of Islam Increasing government through taxation Gun control Appointment of liberals to the SCOTUS, probable Increased division within America Increasing welfare citizens for sustained power Healthcare managed by independent third parties, pending BHO's staff, friends, associates and mentors are rife with socialists/communists. Those are the first thoughts that came to mind. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  9. I admit you have frequently aimed at the high road with me. However, I also see you as a victim from the tone of your posts. That is to say you personalize non-personal replies. Just my opinion, it don't mean squat. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  10. Race, abortion or homosexuality. It's what's for news. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  11. Well, we all know what your tribe leaders say he will do. According to them he will create tyranny, communism, and economic ruin. They can't explain how he will do any of that, but trust them, he will. We have nearly four years of evidence. We know what he has accomplished so far. Based on that record, we know where he is headed. I am very worried. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  12. Priceless! I might add, there is not a liquor advertisement that would cause me to start drinking again. Albeit, some are intriguing. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  13. It seems he likes all the consumer-friendly bits, which is to say the expensive bits (such as covering pre-existing conditions). He just doesn't like the parts that have to do with how to pay for it (such as the individual mandate). However, he has offered nothing about how to pay for the parts he likes. Maybe he thinks the moonbeam fairy will pay for it? Same old political ploy, making big promises without a word on how to make it work financially. I guess it's not too surprising, coming from a guy who thinks that cutting taxes even more will somehow create a huge increase in revenue. "Double down on trickle down" indeed. Don We know what BHO will do to America by 2016. With Romney we have a modicum of hope because he understands business principles. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  14. The same as liberals only accepting "facts" that support their liberal agenda. Reality is dramatically influenced by the person in it. We are all biased. I am more honest about it. I am conservative. There is no fact available that will cause me to change back and become liberal again. Liberalism leads you away from God and glorifies man. Therefore, it has the potential of dire evil built within. Solutions to problems are not on a sound foundation because they are of man's faulty thinking. Conservatism proclaims individual achievement with direction from God. It also has the potential for evil. However, with God in the picture there is a foundation for correction that is sound. You can trust God's word. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  15. Thanks for sharing. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  16. Keep in mind, one of the main characteristics of a liberal is the refusal to accept personal responsibility when cornered. That is when discussion, dialogue yes, even argument starts going in all sorts of directions. "When you become mature enough to accept what liberalism is the rest is easy." ~Rush Limbaugh Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  17. You responded to the second paragraph as condescension not the first. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  18. WOW! I just reread you post. I am somewhat at a loss that you would consider an explanation as condescension. I dare not say more. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  19. And now the condescension. How about trying some Christ once in a while, and not just when it meshes with your carnal desires? I did, in my previous response to you.

  21. You liberal New Yorkers are funny. Do you know my great niece, Erika McCleod? She is in the entertainment industry as well. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  22. He's a LIAR. His very first statement about tax rates is untrue. Raising the TOP MARGINAL RATE by 5% doesn't increase the tax on a couple earning $250k by $12.5k. How much does it increase?

  23. That is an example of not understanding human development and psychology. What you are taught by your parents is ingrained forever. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman and never forces individual choices. He provides a check and His direction is always towards a greater relationship with Jesus Christ. There are choices of individual spirit, natural desire or flesh. There are choices of sin. They are similar but not the same. Paul lamented as sinning daily. All Christians sin daily. You have to make specific decisions to put Christ first in all directions of life. Impulse and common sense generally rise in your consciousness first. Therefore, continued repentance is required and it usually is in direct opposition to immediate feelings or emotions. It is always an act of free will which direction is chosen, Christ or self.
