Out of context...?

I'm not quite sure why my comments were copied straight across from Dbvid Lohr's blog.discovery.

The 2 comments above (re vision) were definitely not posted by me in this forum!

Since it seems so out of context in this forum, on behalf of the joker and myself - kindly accept our apologies for this faux pas.

Kind regards

As I prayed for Caylee Anthony - I saw in a vision ...

I'm defintely not psychic but merely an ordinary born-again christian. As I prayed for Caylee Anthony this is the vision that I saw – found at http://causa.faithweb.com.

So many times God gives us visions, and/or wisdom to guide us (or for us to help others) when we are faced with problems – and not for us to look righteous, or smart. I am an ordinary, average South African who has been so deeply moved by Caylee Anthony’s case that often I sit, and discuss her with God. During one of these “Caylee” conversations with God in early August, I saw such a clear vision that I thought I would share it with you. This image may be found at http://causa.faithweb.com Kindly note - I do not claim this image to be accurate in any way.

Unfortunately I have never visited your beautiful country, so it's virtually impossible for me to even try and identify the area, or to tell you what I actually saw - whether it's somewhere at a camping site, or if it's a pool, part of a drainage culvert, canal, or whatever. The best I can do is try and sketch the image, and hopefully you might be able to identify it. What struck me was the fact that the grass, and stone steps looked so different to anything here in SA. Yet these unusual steps I identified in a (googled) photo taken of some or other "waterworks" somewhere in Florida - or was it ...?

Kind Regards

Ann Coulter in general

This presidential election has got me checking facts, watching carefully and determined to cast my vote. I won't try going into deep detail on that process, but I will instead speak generally about it. I've carefully listened too and researched two things about each pair in the presidential race. The first being their opinions and reasoning and related policies for solutions to the financial realities, the war, and energy.

The second the accuracy and honesty of what they're trying to make the public believe about both themselves and just as importantly the accuracy or lack of it about what they want us too believe about their competition. I've always been more impressed with people that judge themselves more harshly than they judge others, so I imagine most reading this already know where I'm going with this. The fear mongering sent us to Iraq, when the real fear was about terrorism. The two were in reality unrelated. This is the one place we will get more of the same as the Bush administration more than any other concern, probably second will be continuing to send this country into a two class system, namely us the middle class,we're leaning towards the downtrodden surfdom at this rate. Ann Coulter is the near perfect example of someone who twists the minds and the facts towards hate, I especially find her general claims that the liberals quote scripture, she claims always out of context to act like they believe in God. Her whole hater demeaner marks her too me as about as Christian as Hitler himself, or maybe Satan. I'm confused though as to whether she's a deep double agent for liberalism or simply insane. Because can she really believe her hate and misdirection of the facts actually helps the republicans or the conservatives? Or is she secretly and knowingly just pissing everyone off and driving them to the very far left on purpose? Well it worked on me Thanks Ann, mark up one for Obama on you

Not the same

Do all Republicans think the same? Do all Democrats think the same? I didn't realize we were all either Type A1 or B2 robots. Also, how dare you use Caylee Anthony's name, a dear precious innocent little baby who is missing, and "white trash" in the same sentence. Aren't democrats suppose to the ones who cry for peace amongst humans. Please, some democrats hide behind their "we're the only ones who care" like Beauty Queens hide behind "World Peace", just to get the vote. Being President of the United States is not a popularity contest. This isn't high school. The President of the United Sates should have answers and experience, not fairy tales. There is a reason why some actors flock to the democratic side, because they want to stick with what they know...acting. Vote McCain, November 4, 2008.

Missing links

Why is anyone reading screed from that hyper-reactionary hypocrite, anyway? Reviewing Ann Coulter, even for the purposes of denigrating her, lends respectability and credence to the hate she propagates. Want to beat Ann Coulter? Ignore the attention-mongering shill and she may wander to a place where she can find a more suitable audience (based on her ideology, I would think a fundamentalist Middle Eastern country would suit her just fine).

waste...

What a total waste of DNA (Casey Anthony and John Farrell), and electrons (posting this article on-line).

Bust Administration

And our Democrat congress is not to blame for any of the screw-ups you idiots like to blame on Bush? Exactly why electing a Democrat is so scarey. You cannot take responsibility. Can't wait to see what you all have to say if Obama is elected and you don't (gasp)see all this wonderful change he's promising. No wait. You'll continue to blame it on the Bush Administration. Silly me . . .

Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter is a bigoted pig who seethes anger and ignorant vitriol. She needs some serious therapy to cure her of her issues.

Man Coulter shut up

Ann ( or should I say Man Coulter) will do anything for attention. What a bottom feeder. Thank God she's sterile. Every time she opens her ugly mouth and says something like this in a "I'm just kidding" way I have to go puke. Coulter and Palin are NOT what women should aspire to be like.
