Deep. Clearly .... many haven't ..... Is a picture, a painting, or an illustration a lie .... simply because it is not the exact thing it portrays ? I would hesitate to say anything that enables understanding is necessarily a lie.

Well, yeah ... of course .... I mean it's not like he ever used metaphors or parables or symbolism or anything like that .... :rolleyes:

There's an interesting part of this story that bears paying attention to, IMO. Prior to going to the Garden, Jesus had his disciples obtain weapons (swords) and arm themselves - but to what end ? Luke 22: 35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked...

See if this does anything for ya: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The Ninth Amendment If that doesn't get it, then try this: Basic Rights Not Spelled Out in the Constitution

He didn't ? That's for you yourself to determine. It's close. Those words were spoken to the disciples after He had arisen and appeared to them (John Chapter 20) .... and to me, appear to be in specific reference to charging them with the work they were about to undertake in their ministries...

No - if you go back to the original Hebrew what you get is ratsach .... Murder is about as close as one can come in English, in a single word definition/translation - but as the word (murder) is commonly understood today in contemporary society, it is woefully inadequate. For example, if one...

Indeed. Clearly that's not true - since the example you reference below (the right to free speech) as being explicit, is not absolute and has been open to interpretation. Actually, it does .... just not an explicit one. Like I said: it is not an absolute (or unqualified and unconditional)...

I'm afraid I'd have to disagree .... it is implicit, since a citizen's right to vote is mentioned in multiple places in the Constitution: Suffrage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is not an absolute, unrestricted right however, and certainly is subject to restriction in some cases, for...

Heheheh .... ya gotta love it when the real criminals have the stupidity to call the police on those who are actually trying to get them to follow the rules. These guys must be taking lessons from someone on self-delivered footbullets: Missouri Caucus Anecdotes: Arguments, Arrests, and a Good...

No, actually what is cute is continued attempts at using logical fallacies to tar those you oppose (or despise) politically .... I'm half expecting to open a dictionary to "logical fallacy" and see your avatar there ... So, let me see if I have this straight: is it your premise that because...

Ari, Thank you for your insights on that - your college experiences differ somewhat from mine (.... actually quite a bit apparently ..... ;)) ... there was not much bribery involved .... but then I did attend a private college rather than a public one .... BTW - do the professors also provide...

I'm sorry I just nearly busted a gut reading this .... particularly considering the Wikipedia entry concerning JBS: "The John Birch Society is an American political advocacy group that supports anti-communism, limited government, a Constitutional Republic, and personal freedom." Now who...

Paul event at at The University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana: Gingrich "rally" in Rosemont, IL:

..... and with late-breaking news from The Most Holy Shrine Of The Perpetual Continuing Footbullet (aka Campaign Santorum) this just in: Santorum stands by English condition for Puerto Rico statehood With such a masterful move to sew up the Hispanic vote just prior to the Puerto Rico primary...

The good Dr. Paul speaks to thousands yesterday at the University of Missouri campus:

Ari, As a little food for thought with respect to all the fascination and attention you seem to have stuck on the whole "party" thing, I offer the following for contemplation (..... just in case you get bored after responding to T'Hawk): "COLLECTIVISM: Collectivism is defined as the theory and...

No, that Ron Paul doesn't exist .... he's but one figment (among many apparently) of your imagination .... a mere hallucination .... The Ron Paul I'm talking about actually voted to go after Bin Laden .... I think he was disappointed that we did not actually apprehend Bin Laden and place him...

Well, if you sit back and contemplate on that for just a bit, you may find it ... revelatory ... Here's another one for ya: Tonight, while I was sitting here working with the TV on, I caught something of interest - the results of some polling - of Republican voters. Now I didn't hear who had...

Oh my lord .... (facepalm) I don't think Ive ever seen such a glutton for punishment .... If one didn't know better, one might think we have a devoted reader of Pravda here ....

Please .... don't be so wordy ..... :rolleyes: "If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called...
