  1. What is Fascism? Some General Ideological Features by Matthew N. Lyons I am skeptical of efforts to produce a "definition" of fascism. As a dynamic historical current, fascism has taken many different forms, and has evolved dramatically in some ways. To understand what fascism has encompassed as a movement and a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development--as a form of counter-revolutionary politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. http://www.publiceye.org/eyes/whatfasc.html Fascism or Socialism, is that our choice?

  2. If you have not heard of it before, you owe it to yourself to take about 15 minutes to become familiar with it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subj: Agenda 21 for Public Officials | myBrainshark http://my.brainshark.com/Agenda-21-for-Public-Officials-472185383?mid=5560 Great tutorial on Agenda 21. If you haven’t heard of it, you will because it is currently being implemented by all nations including ours. In short, it is the redistribution of wealth and the death knell of the open and free market system Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  3. Before you applaud those who serve, keep in mind that Muslims and Jews serve as well as other religions to keep your Christian beliefs sacred. Don't "bless" us in Uniform with this crap. Your blessing is not accepted. This is our country, not your country. I am sorry you were offended by my veteran brothers words. For the record, I support Israel, its people and its faith. The Muslims, not so much. God causes the rain to fall on the good and the bad. I pray that you too can grow sustenance from it. I still remain with the closing, God bless you.

  4. Oh dear, you just don't know about Jewish Law and the fulfillment of the Law in Christ. Or about God's grace in the New Testament. I would strongly suggest you take your concerns to your local pastor for clarification. This forum is just not an applicable medium for such a lengthy and comprehensive study.

  6. And as I just said in a subsequent post, I'm sick of "defense" being used as a deceptive, enabling, guilt-evoking euphemism for "everything military". Ah, I must confess, I love "everything military." Things that go boom in the night give me a warm fuzzy, especially, when it is SpecOps. I cried at the end of the movie "Act of Valor."

  8. lolwut? Could you elaborate a bit here? I'm not familiar with the teachings of what ever religious cult it is where you picked up these words of wisdom. PS: If they offer you Cool-Aid Flavor-Aid, it's best to politely decline the offer, btw. Based on our previous communications, I don't think it would help your understanding. However, I will venture on to the stage of the theatre of the absurd once again. It is one of those deep concepts, like the sound of one hand clapping. Basically, you can't think your way to spiritual life. It is antithetical to the concept of faith. The latter requires surrender to a higher power and a supernatural communication, through prayer and or meditation, with that power. That communication provides direction and power in life that goes above and beyond all levels of conscious learning. Listen to the still small voice within and stop the internal dialogue.

  9. The vote, my vote, will be cast for POTUS, not savior. America tried to elect one of those the last term. It didn't work out well for the country. 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.

  12. Reference my post to Andy9o8 above, I am a hawk. Given a choice of funding for defense and anything else, I am most likely to choose defense. I believe we are going to enter a long dark night of winter in the near future regardless of the November outcome. I believe the terrorist movement, regardless of the ideological names placed on it, will escalate. I believe my safety and the safety of my family will a require an adequately supplied personal, community and national defense. But, above all political decisions, BHO must go.

  14. Jesus is proud of people like you - NOT. Jesus said He preferred people who were hot or cold. I believe I fall into the hot category. Whereas, you and some others fall into the cold category. Take heart, you are still in a preferred category for His love. There is still hope, not in BHO, for you. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  15. You are going tangential. I was just trying to help you out. You were making statements about Dr. Luke that were foolish because they were based on ignorance. Obviously, you don't need my help. You are just too smart for me. 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.

  17. God is not flip-flopping. His followers are having the difficulty. http://www.npr.org/2012/05/11/152466134/same-bible-different-verdict-on-gay-marriage?ft=1&f=1001 As I stated above, BHO's decision is going to cost him dearly in the Black community, middle class mothers and seniors. His loss of support among Blacks, et al., cannot be overcome by the liberal democrats and LGBT folks. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  18. Guess how many battlefield casualties there are you you don't go into unnecessary wars? My point exactly, with a large enough defense budget all wars become unnecessary. I disagree. With a large enough military budget ("defense" is an advertising euphimism), wars become virtually guaranteed, for the military must flex, justify and perpetuate itself; and the civilians who command it will be all the more tempted to use it imprudently. The classic economic question, guns or butter? I'm a hawk. I vote for guns. Go churn your own butter. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  19. Oh, and there are those given over to a reprobate mind. The mind is a useful tool only. When you make it your master you head down the path to destruction and spiritual death.

  22. Helping Veterans is more than just caring for the wounded in battle. Correct, imagine the extent of long term benefits available to our veterans when the funds would not have to be expended on PTSD, TBI and SCI treatment.

  24. While in uniform when everyone else was bravely in combat during WWII, Reagan was a coward, making movies. Reagan didn't have a thimbleful of the guts his dweeby vice president, George HW Bush, had flying combat missions over the Solomons and getting his plane shot out from under him. More like Bush's "son", Shrub, another duty-shirker, bravely skipping class protecting the coast of Texas from the Vietcong. Couple-a little faggots. On my next trip to California, I will piss on Reagan's grave. Are you going to stop by Clinton's museum trailer in Arkansas on the way out?

  25. As you know, and therefore you are asking a redundant question, I have a problem with Muslims. The problem being that their worship actively includes my death, the deaths of my family and the destruction of everything I hold dear. So, NO, I don't think the Muslims should be welcomed here with a blanket acceptance. I have worked with some Muslims without incident in a very cooperative and friendly spirit. I knew a Muslim who converted to Christianity and was disowned and threatened by his father. I am wary very wary. Do I profile a mideasterner? Are you a turtle?
