  1. Yes, very true. I wonder if the extremely intelligent right wing and NRA would support an amendment forbidding Muslims from owning guns? Stupid lefties would probably object though, so I guess you better arm up and keep your eyes open for middle eastern looking men. Right wingers, as call them, would support that But apparently they won't support a ban on people who are on the threat/no fly list getting weapons. Something about due process and such. Maybe you support the bacon eating test instead? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. I said in another thread that an amendment is needed to deny gun rights to Muslims, but the left would object. It seems maybe the left would support such a thing now. Oy vey, I can't get it straight or keep up. It's so confusing. Just to be clear here, the comment about denying guns to Muslims was tongue-in-cheek. No need to flame me for discrimination, save it for the Trumpeteers. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

  4. Like Wuffos who want to legislate what type of canopy you can jump. Sort of. Except the type of canopy I jump is never ever going to be used in a mass murder. That is one small difference. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

  6. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VY05fJRFL1Y http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/firing-ar-15-horrifying-dangerous-loud-article-1.2673201 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9rGpykAX1fo Yup, I just made the whole thing up. And you are so clever. Baiting your trap just so, giving just a little teaser info. You are probably a great hunter as well. It must be a thrill for you when you spring your little "trap". I'm very impressed. This article has been going around FB for a couple days with NRA supporters poking fun at the NY writer for over dramatizing his experience with the big bad gun. There is some humour in it. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. It is a tough read. I got about 5 minutes into it and stopped when I realized that this is a religious scholar giving a lawyerish take on whether or not it is required that Muslims murder gays. According to their scripture. Apparently he believes it is not. That's good, but it is not nearly enough. I don't care what the scholars think. I want Muslims and all others to reject murder because murder is both illegal and wrong under man's laws. I will not settle for any less. As usual RushMC is .....well, PA's are discouraged here and it's hard to react to him in a way that is not personal. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  8. All things that I'm well aware of. Terrorists are criminals, criminals are for the most part stupid. Pretending you can fight a "war on terror" like fighting a war against a nation state is also stupid. Well worth emphasizing from the article is this: "In comparison to homicides in America, deaths from terrorism are statistical noise, barely a blip on a graph compared to the 13,700 homicides a year.

  11. The article is missing one key point, and that is colouring Harsani's whole analysis. That point is the fact that Obama has not rejected radical Islam as a factor. He has not ever denied that radical Islam is a factor. He has merely chosen to emphasize different aspects of the problem because he sees no point in emphasizing the religious aspects of the conflict. The conflict is about far more than religion. It's real heart is in the regional politics of the Middle East and a struggle for power. Obama is keeping his eye focused on the ball and encouraging everyone else to do so as well. It's important to identify your enemy with clarity. It allows you to avoid wasting your resources. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. There are two glaring errors in this statement. Firstly, the 2nd amendment was not really a mistake. The mistake was been made later in history by the courts interpreting it. It's never good to insult the Holy Founding Fathers of America. They are completely without flaws, and possibly immaculately conceived. Along with Betsy Ross. Don't go there. Secondly. America is far from incredibly violent. I've been there lots, and it is mostly very peaceful and law abiding. And I would even say friendly, even in the urban places full of the sort of people that Ron and his ilk fear. It's just the very high number of firearms that make it appear so violent. The problem is that too many people will use their guns in anger when they feel offended, or by accident as in five year olds shooting family members.

  13. Correct, you have been paying attention. It is what a responsible Christian does. That is express anger in a socially acceptable manner. Scripture says don't sin when you are angry but don't go to bed angry. I used to drink beer when I got angry, whiskey if I was really pissed. Then I would often do something to make matters worse. Hmm, so that makes us your therapist. I hadn't thought of it that way but I can go with that. I'm happy to be of service to you then. Really.

  14. Nevermind that. What do Americans do on July 1st? This year both Canada and America get a long weekend out of our national days. The 1st is a Friday, and the 4th is a Monday. Hurray! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. But neither of the attributed quotes are accurate. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. So did it sicken you when GWB denied what you 'just understood', denied that you were at war with Islam and said that "Islam is peace"? Did George Bush make you sick with those quotes? To people like Ron GWB is white and Republican, and therefore to be believed and respected. BHO is black, and a Democrat. And therefore not be be believed or respected. Emotion, it's all about emotion. That's why he comes here, to unload his emotions. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Whadda ya mean John? It's in da book ya know. Dontcha read books? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. It does not really matter in the end. The laws of God were written by the hand of man. And therefore subject to the flaws that man will inevitably introduce to them. As you say, no man can know another man's soul. Everyone must decide what to believe for themselves. The priests don't really know any more than you do. For as hard as they study, they are only learning what was written by other men. If there is God, surely She is within you and everywhere. You will find God within, if you are to find Her. (I only use the feminine pronoun to distinguish my God from that of the written word of man. In truth God is neither man nor woman and has no need of gender.) I am not trying to lead you away from your beliefs, they are yours and they work for you. I am only pointing out that they are not be the only valid beliefs.

  19. ...or unless the law has been fulfilled and everything had been accomplished - which Christ Did. All that's left then is to place your faith in Him - no renouncement needed. That doesn't jive with any of the other translations provided on the last page. There is quite clearly no 'or' provision in any of them. As written in english the meaning is definitely that the 'all being finished / fulfilled / accomplished' is everything that will happen until the end of time. I guess they must all be bad translations and you got the good one. You have to read the New Testament. It's like a Constitutional Amendment. It modifies the meaning of the original law by updating and replacing it. No need to modify the original. You actually still need the original to understand where it all comes from. It's just like dealing with lawyers. As in "let's kill all the lawyers tonight". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. No Bill, Jesus did not repeal and replace man's laws. Only God's laws. You still must render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. I've edited that to show a little humility. Don't feel too bad, BHO is a far better man than most of us can be. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. And he continues to be a far better man, and a far better Christian than you, or I could ever hope to be. (edited to soften the blow to Ron) Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. Yes, a good number of them by force. Sort of like Islamist sometimes do. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. So the unconverted Jews, God's chosen people, are now condemned unless they convert. Correct? Convert? All they have to do is believe on the Messiah that they've been waiting for - and many already have. So, the answer to my question, that you are evading, is yes then? God's chosen people are condemned to hell unless they convert? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
