    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    Whoa there horsey. I never attacked you until you invited it with defending and justifying your post. "Oh Yeah, That Dog does Hunt as That's the way I Do It!" goes to irresponsibility. "I Don't Bother to check if It's true or not..." goes to recklessness. "As been previously Stated by me...

    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    That's pretty funny considering you're the one who started it by trying to invent a literal distinction between "on refurbishing" and "to refurbish." Simple sentence diagramming was the only way to show how ridiculous that attempt was. I agree, yet you're the one who focused on what Poorboy...

    Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim

    Perhaps we're moving too fast. Have you ever actually read the Bible? I don't think he's a Christian, either, but just because he's not a Christian doesn't therefore make him some other specific religion.

    Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim

    Not that attending church and sitting in a pew is the litmus test for being a Christian, but he's not even a pew filler. Anyone know how many times he's gone to church since being sworn in a president? Once, on the first Easter Sunday of his presidency. Reagan attended a church service in...

    Dick Armey on John Stewart

    Ignorance is bliss. :D From the Thomas Gray poem: Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College (1742) To each his sufferings: all are men, Condemned alike to groan, The tender for another's pain; The unfeeling for his own. Yet ah! why should they know their fate? Since...

    Vacation #-6 for this year!

    No matter who is the president, the opposition party delights in criticizing him for taking time off, billing it as insensitive to the problems of struggling Americans, demonstrating aristocratic excess, an astounding waste of taxpayer's money, or betraying some hedonistic character flaw...

    Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim

    Because he doesn't treat Christians they way they think he should, and because he doesn't treat Muslims they way they think he should, they think he favors Islam over Christianity. If he was a true Christian he'd act like one. If he was a true Muslim he'd act like one. But he acts like...

    ObamaGov Establishing Islam as Official USA State Religion?

    I've spent the better part of my life studying various religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam being the ones I've spent the most time on. I think a course in comparative religions should be a required course in school, because it is the study of human societal history and of human nature...

    ObamaGov Establishing Islam as Official USA State Religion?

    Part of the problem in this case is that religion itself discourages learning. "Don't associate with non-believers" and such. An open mind is a direct threat to established religious beliefs. The Dark Ages didn't just happen all by themselves. In addition, studies have shown that when someone...

    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    No, it's absolutely with merit. He's claiming a falsehood, since the Obama administration is not, in fact, spending taxpayer money on refurbishing mosques overseas. Previous administrations didn't do it, either. It was and in Congress that is doing it. The State Department is doing it, but under...

    ObamaGov Establishing Islam as Official USA State Religion?

    The thing is, what Hannity states is more or less true, but in our western minds we think that things like stoning is applied on all applicable cases, like it would be under English law that uses established precedents for both conviction and penalty. Sharia law is about as foreign to us as...

    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    When someone comes on any forum and claims to have had a career that requires a high degree of intelligence and excellent communications skills, and then proceeds to routinely display an astounding lack of both, they're gonna get called on it.

    ObamaGov Establishing Islam as Official USA State Religion?

    "As Islam is first and foremost a governmental/political system..." That is absolutely incorrect. "Why do I make these claims?" Because you (the author of the piece) are ignorant and a moron (as evidenced by this piece, and several others of hers that I have read). The people who think...

    "Another" Waste of Our Money!

    Yes I am. You can't assure me of anything. You're reckless, irresponsible and not to be trusted, remember? That's nothing. I got three citations in one day from the Tennessee State Police.

    Yeah, I don't know why I typed Georgia. Brain fart. Rock House is not all that far from Ft Payne, maybe 15 miles west of there, and maybe 20 miles north of Albertville. I remember we worked for 2 days a church in Boaz (where there is also a small church run out of someone's home that also...

    Move Those Transponders and Stickers

    2000 is high. At 65 MPH it's around 2300. But if 2000 is what it takes to keep the oil pressure and the EGR open, so be it, I guess. I have no idea what the redline is. Don't have an actual red line on the RMP-o-meter. The dial goes to 7000. It won't go that high, tho. The speed-o-meter goes...

    Move Those Transponders and Stickers

    Yeah, but it's the same as the aluminum wheel option. You want aluminum wheels, you got aluminum wheels. You want steel wheels, you got steel wheels. Not all that easy to go back and forth on a whim. The high idle option is one that gets programmed into the ECU. It's one or the other, all the...

    It's the Charismatics that you have to watch out for. They're so, well, charismatic. Actually, it's those snake-handling Pentecostals from up in Aristotle's neck of the woods that you've got to watch out for. Those people are crazy. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend that you...
