running attitude stupid
Republicans should save the clip of Jonathan Gruber and run it over and over again in the run-up to the 2016 election. This attitude that government is better at making decisions than you are because you are too stupid to know what is good for you is a hallmark of patronizing, arrogant and condescending liberalism.
running adversity water
People, like water, will run downhill, seeking their lowest level unless something interdicts them.
christian running religious
In America most orthodox Christians become defensive or testy when they are asked even to break into a sweat. Most of our efforts up until now have been more symbolic than anything else. We are great at holding conventions, gathering for strategy meetings and seminars, holding congresses on evangelism. But where are the people to run our own antidefamation league?
running fighting gun
The more we come to rely on government, the fewer freedoms we will enjoy. Government will start dictating what we can own, eat and drive, how much of our money they will let us keep, how we run our businesses, how many - if any - guns we can own, and what we may and may not say. Oh, wait! They are already doing that. To preserve freedom we must fight for it.
again error false offered opportunity previous prophets reminded ways
When these false prophets again appear, they can be reminded of the error of their previous ways and at least be offered an opportunity to recant and repent.
book years lists
The measure of a great writer is not how many weeks his books spend on the best-seller lists, but how many years his books remain in print after his death.
law vampire difficult
Once a federal law or policy is in place it is more difficult to kill than a vampire.
dollars poor taxpayers
In business, poor performance leads to bankruptcy or, at a minimum, a restructuring of the company. In American education, failure entitles the bankrupt system to even more taxpayer dollars.
letting-go real mean
When the Forbidden Fruit was handed to Adam and Eve, they were allowed the moral choice to accept or decline. I know people who have refused to feast on the money tree. They live simply, within their means, and seem far more content than those who are trying to horde their wealth while clinging to the ladder of 'success,' terrified to let go. That isn't real living. The Puritans rightly saw that as covetousness.
teacher children acceptance
No child is taught to kill, but he has to be taught to love, respect, honor and value, not only his own life, but the lives of his classmates, parents and teachers. He has to experience love and acceptance. He has to know his life has purpose and meaning. No amount of money can do that.
heart soul prosperity
But prosperity without a soul is like a corpse whose heart has stopped beating. There is no life, only consumption.
country thinking diversity
No nation can survive without passing its heritage, language and, yes, faith to the next generation. A country must be built on something substantial and if the cultural elitists think it can be built on 'diversity,' that is a foundation of shifting sand.
mean trying doe
As with most things governmental, failure does not mean having to try something else. It means spending more money.
views speech should
Homo-sexuals should not be censored, but neither should those who oppose their point of view. That's called free speech.
