And they’ll be the ones getting the tax cut. So, anyone want to bet how low Obama will go? I’m betting $30,000.We can’t complain when our taxes are raised, Obama and his surrogates have been warning us that the definition of rich is fluid.(via)

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.
A man known in the cyber world as The Internet Monk, has died. Michael Spencer lost his battle with cancer tonight. My prayers go out for his family and for all those who loved and will miss him. :(

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

Sigh. Keep going for the pathetic 3rd person gotcha, but Obama’s message has not changed one bit. Even Neil Cavuto came out today to attack McCain for having no economic convictions. You are getting desperate.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is Richardson on the ticket? Has Obama already won the election and appointed him Secretary of the Treasury? Why on earth is this a story?

Since you keep bleating about the economy, Michele, let’s talk about your fellow Christians who went to Wall Street and prayed around the large golden bull in front of the NYSE:

And yes, it’s real:
http://www.cbn.com/700club/guests/bios/cindy_jacobs102008.aspx
For these and other reasons Cindy is calling for a Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies on Wednesday, October 29, 2008. They are calling for prayer for the stock markets, banks, and financial institutions of the world on the date the stock market crashed in 1929. They are meeting at the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, and its 12 principal branches around the US that day.
“We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control over the economic systems,” she said. “While we do not have the full revelation of all this will entail, we do know that without intercession, economies will crumble.”

Last I checked, praying at a golden calf is a bad thing in the Bible, yet these Christians did just that in order to boost the economy.

Minnie, prayingto an idol is a bad thing.
We have an annual gathering around the flag pole in front of public schools to pray. We are not praying to the flag.
Is the bull symbolic of what they are praying about? Certainly. Are they praying to the bull? I’ll let you answer.

They may not be praying to the bull, but praying around a golden calf? Seriously? Did none of these people consider the irony that such an image would show?
Also, think about it for a moment: those photos show a bunch of Christians praying around a golden bull so that the economy will improve. I’d *really* like to know what parts of the Bible they’re reading where any of that makes any reasonable amount of sense.

It’s went from $250,000 to $120,000 and we haven’t even had the election yet. In order to pay for his trillion dollars in new spending, “fix” global warming, and start paying down our 4 trillion debt, NOBODY is going to get a tax cut and everybody’s taxes are going to go up. Anybody believing otherwise is a fool. And Obama believes in doing a TON for the poor and lower-middle income, so taxes are going to go through the roof.

Um, Eric, the CBO has shown that McCain’s plans end in more than $4 trillion of debt, compared to a little over $3 trillion for Obama. They’ll BOTH spend, but Barack comes out on top. Read up.
That aside, I’d love for you to explain how we’ll get out of our enormous national debt by abolishing taxes. Shall we invade small countries and rob their banks? The sum of our public debt, accrued civilian and military retirement benefits, unfunded, promised Social Security and Medicare benefits, and other financial obligations amounts to about $53 trillion. Who’s going to pay for this?

What do you know… the non-partisan Tax Policy Center estimates that McCain’s proposals would actually add $5 trillion. So how’s John more fiscally conservative?

MzEllen, Guy Arthur, Eric, Michele, et al:
PALIN IS A MARXIST. She opposes redistribution of wealth… except in Alaska. There, every citizen gets an annual stipend from oil production.
You ruthlessly dishonest hypocrites like to grab quotes and throw them around as though nothing else matters, so print this one:
Sarah Palin (to the New Yorker): “…we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of those resources occurs.”
Won’t you post an entry? Or are you truly just a lot of partisan hacks?

Ludwig von Mises: “A new social ideal long ago supplanted the naive fanaticism for equality of the distributors, and now not distribution but common ownership is the slogan of Socialism. To abolish private property in the means of production, to make the means of production the property of the community, that is the whole aim of Socialism.”
