Aw c'mon, you know that is not where I am coming from. I'm afraid I would find myself in a situation where I would shoot my mouth off. I have a tendency to do that ya' know.

Too bad you think American culture is based on bad ideas. Now you know that is just adolescent mind games. You can do much better. Can't you? 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.

I am going to go way out on a limb and make a guess here but, I think billvon, quade, DanG and some others think this action is justified in the name of sound socialist principles. I lived in CA for 2 years, never again. I fear visiting relatives and friends out there. I'm afraid I'd end up in jail. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

It is not a question of word redefinition. It is a reaction against the dismantling of the American culture in the name of good ideas. As I stated in the above reply to Stevebabin, the group that I hang with is reactionary against socialist principles. Why? Because we have made decisions about our lives that we agree upon. It is what binds us together and we have no reason to change. Play word and mind games all you want. I remain convicted in my beliefs. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

There are plenty who served from your era who didn't volunteer. You are correct. I am a member of the Air Commando Association, Combat Control Association, Vietnam Veterans of America and the Patriot Guard Riders. The VVA is the only group that voices liberal socialist values. The VVA grew out of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War somewhat led by John Kerry. Both of these groups, in my opinion, are/were comprised of draftees. Even so, when VVA members post liberal positions on the VVA Talklist they are confronted with opposition from the conservative members participating. My peers in the other groups are solid right wing conservatives of the Christian faith. That is who I hang with. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

It's only insulting if you have a Pavlovian response to the word "socialized" not related to any knowledge of its meaning. No, you dead wrong. It is insulting because no one voluntarily joins our military to uphold a socialist form of government. Obviously, you never stepped up to the plate to serve your country in that manner.

Your are using the wrong term. It is called "Veterans Benefits." To refer to veterans benefits as socialized medicine is beyond stupid; it is an insult. 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.

Jclalor is not going to like that one either. 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.

You are not being too logical. It is a difference in concepts. The NT instructs us to submit to our government and not be in rebellion. We are to trust God for the blessings of our lives. However, since this country was founded on an ideal of freedom for the individual, socialism is repugnant and unacceptable to patriotic Americans. Socialism becomes evil when the oppressed people suffer. We, the patriots, do not see how making America a socialist country is going to enhance freedom and reduce suffering.

No where to run to, no where to hide. Looks like the VA will be primary. But, I have a plan. 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.

You need to seriously reconsider this one. Why? I like to be amused. Oh, I forgot. There is no humor on the liberal side. 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.

I only read the 10 points not the commentary. I found it insightful and consider it a good post. 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.

Yes you did. Reread the thread if you don't remember. I stand by my initial post this thread, #3. The first Christian reference was an attack. 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.

HUH!!? The concept was/is questionable banking policies. I did not tie it to Christian teachings. Please understand, I believe in being a law abiding citizen. However, I do not agree with all laws. You guys are trying so hard to create an argumentative put down you are looking silly. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

No, I would handle the chore myself. The trick is to make it look like the consequence of unforeseen circumstances. That way people won't call you a coward after you're gone. Usually, the suicidal individual is not concerned with that legacy. As a Christian, I believe the moment of death should be determined by God's will for the individual. The exception is when the moment of death has been determined by government order. Since all governments are established by God's will for mankind in general, then it is still His will for the individual. Everyone dies at exactly the right time for their circumstances. Obamacare has physician assisted suicide built in as a form of social ordering and expense management. It will be accomplished by withholding appropriate medical care. Or, as the VA does it, (1) by prescribing contraindicated drugs creating system breakdowns within the body, (2) physician incompetence from hiring physicians in training. I am in the age bracket where I might fall prey to such a health management decision. My peer group realizes the truth of these policies and we generally accept it. We have come to understand long life ain't what it is cracked up to be. However, we strongly oppose socialism as a form of government. The key concepts are freedom of the individual and accepting personal responsibility. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Christians are permitted to have personal opinions. Are you not able to see the difference in the subjects of the two statements? Now, carefully refocus, the subject of this thread is how BoA got caught attempting an illegal procedure, namely, stealing someone's home.

Billvon, you are starting to act like that other twit. I disagree with the law that allows for legal abortions. 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.

I do disagree. That's all I can do, except exercise my right to vote. 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.

What a marvelous example of "Christian" values. Cutting "illegal immigrants" off from access to banking services is helpful in what way? How does this racist and morally bankrupt way of thinking square with the teachings of true Christainity. You know, help the poor, the downtrodden, the weak and the powerless? False "Christians" spew a load of tripe about god and the bible, then come back with racist crap like this. It would be really amusing to be present when they move on to the afterlife and are held accountable for their hypocrisy and their perversion of "morality". God will administer harsh punishment, in an evenhanded and morally consistent way. Well, that didn't take long to turn it into Christian bashing. Christian values uphold the law of the land. The key word in my position is illegal. Please do not bore me and the other readers with examples of Christians who run afoul of the law. Yeah, we know that happens just as we know that BoA will continue to support the socialist agenda the same as you do. Have a nice day comrade. It will get worse.

Definitely a prototype system. The Fulton system was a bit different, utilized a helium balloon. I thought I saw the first live pick-up with the Fulton at HRT in 1962-63. I was surprised to see it was an operational tool ten years earlier. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.
