Let's introduce "ecumenism" as a Pro-Life strategy

"Ecumenism" is a word that means churches of many faiths --some opposed to others--work together to achieve a common goal that helps them all. It always includes common strategies that create, increase and keep tithers. Undeniably and historically, the Roman Catholic Church leads Ban-Abortion political action that made it a possessor of fantastically huge wealth--vast MATERIAL assets. Ecumenically, Jews,

Baptists, Evangelicals, Catholics, etc. take turns at invocations, inaugurations, etc. They're paid and pensioned at officer grade. Ecumenically, they demand and get tax exemptions, vouchers and other unpatriotic privileges. They're a tremendous tax burden. They repeat the Lord's Prayer. "Give us this day our daily bread at taxpayer expense. Forgive us for greedily doing this. Lead us not into the temptation of asking for more than the ten per cent tithe." Standing together, they get away with this because we have no godless lawmakers guarding the public purse.

Does Obama's Christianity make him give gov. a pass?

My view of Obama, not as a private citizen, but as Chief Executive, is that he must be a Creationist or he wouldn't refer to Scripture as if all its misinformation--lies--are true. Ours is a kingless republic but he wants us all to be UNDER God--SUBJECT to HIm as if we're serfs--BENEATH His royal feet even though he isn't supposed to have a body. There is no God. There is a money-making industry based on the enormous ten per cent tithe collected from believers. There is no "soul." it was invented so preachers--for a price-- can "save it from being burned in Hell." Obama can reduce taxes by ending laws that let churches sneak away from paying taxes. They invest money they keep from escaping taxation-- then they scold godless nations that make believers pay all their "costs of worship." Sanford emphasized his Christianity and it seems the President is "giving him a pass."

Obama is clueless, but talks alot of sh$T!

The man of transparency has no comment? of course not! This man is more corrupt and a bigger cheat and liar as anyone who ever lived! He is a smooth talkin' unqualified FOOL!!! With a houses entire square footage of closet space full of skeletons in his closet........

Thanks to "thebob.bob of OK

Thanks, Bob, for your list of harmful acts by Bush, the GOP and Congress. I study not only holy books but laws made by churches to boss believers around. They're church laws and must never be enforced by the civil power. The Code of Canon Law is the collection of church laws that tells subjects of the pope what to do. They must not abort conceptions nor kill themselves by suicide or being unplugged. What's the reason for those church laws? They decrease income from people who would otherwise pay the ten per cent tithe. We don't see gays with big families of tithers. That's why anti-gay, tithe-dependent clerics attack gays and lesbians. All for money. Often, an unwed teen mom who "gives her baby for adoption," has parents who pay ten per cent of their lifetime income to a Ban-Abortion church. The girl has a nervous breakdown and the preacher has steak for dinner. Is this really deniable?

Just Fix the Teleprompter

Cute BB real cute.Petards can" hoist" not just the grenadier but rubberneckers as well.You probably know that the potential VP nominees for the McCain ticket ( Sanford) & Obama(Edwards) were in danger of being outed by operatives if they had commited.This was just a delayed charge going off now that the campaign is history.What else ya' got?.How about Breaking News-" Man Bites Dog" ?

his own petard

There's nothing to say. They're busy trying to solve the mess Republicans made of the country and the world while they were so busy instructing everyone else about how to embrace the 'Real' America and live the pious life that only evangelical anti-government types can live. If Republicans had spent less time telling everyone how and when to have sex and when and when not to use birth control or have abortions or when to pull the life support plug or how to stop gays from getting married or why evolution is a fraud or global warming is a hoax, then we wouldn't be in this mess.

Obama's busy fixing things.
