    Prediction Comes True

    I believe both ITL and Rev are correct. It's a bubble that the current Fed executives have no plans of stopping. To be honest, I quite expected a stock market fluctuation last week with the announcement that Obama was going to require the insurance industry to re-instate all those cancelled...

    Emerging from Fundamentalism

    Possibly an over-generalization on my part ... but "fundamentalism" has become synonymous with "legalism" in the minds of many folks. When we say, "coming out of fundamentalism," seems to me most people actually mean "coming out of legalism." Now, that's not to say that fundamentalists don't...

    Description of the Current Presidency

    Ah, curds. Forgot that FT prefers people to pay for a subscription rather than just make articles available.... The synopsis of the article basically says that, starting with the anti-gun legislation after Newtown that failed, to the current healthcare and international situations, Obama is...

    Thirty-nine Democrats joint in passing Upton's "Keep your plan" fix

    Don't forget--because it goes farther than his own plan, the president has already stated he'll veto this....

    Monitor Your Baby with their Sock

    http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/11/14/monitor-your-babys-health-with-just-sock/?intcmp=features I saw this, and my first thought was: Yeah, that's it, get 'em used to wearing an ankle monitor from an early age....

    Great Pretender offers "solution" to the "keep your plan" fiasco

    THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. At a time when everyone else will be finding any possible negative point to sling at you, I just want you to know that I'm grateful. At a time that military retirees are finding out that their Tricare health insurance meets the minimum ACA requirements, but cuts their...

    A Flawed Approach to Romans 13?

    The problem with that response? “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

    Bad Month for the Administration?

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/13/boehner-house-wont-negotiate-senate-immigration/ I found the bolded statement amusing; since that's exactly what the House did in passing the ACA. However, I have to wonder how the Administration is feeling right now; healthcare.gov is a...

    Gun Permits Surge in Newtown

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/13/gun-permits-skyrocket-newtown-following-sandy-hook/ So -- they somehow think that being able to own/carry guns will be more protective than not owning/carrying guns? Haven't they been listening to the mainstream media and the liberal...

    Secret Globalist Treaty Threatens Internet Freedom

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Congress has to ratify any such treaty. The president signing it is just a gesture--one that we've come to expect from the sitting president.

    It's a Sin to Disrespect the President and to not Submit to his Authority

    And there you have it, folks. We've gone from sinning because of our disrespect for the president, to somehow disobeying things that have nothing to do with God's laws. Remember: if you want to argue something in such a way that your opponent can't win, always argue with ambiguities. Zaac...

    In answer to somebody's rant re Romans 13

    I agree with you; but I also offer a different example of Saul. The people wanted a king; God gave them Saul. Do we think God didn't know that Saul would allow the power and authority to corrupt him? I think God knew all along; and intended Saul to be a lesson for/to the people.

    It's a Sin to Disrespect the President and to not Submit to his Authority

    Are you silly-stupid?!? His politics are a direct result of his ungodliness!!! Everything he "politics" about is based on his beliefs; the two are inseparable. Thus, you again prove that you are either immature and don't actually understand what you're talking about; or you're actually just here...

    Veterans'\Rememberance Day

    According to my uncle-in-law (haven't had a chance to look this up for myself), Veterans Day is actually an extension of Remembrance Day/Armistice Day. Other countries also celebrate Remembrance Day, or they call it Armistice Day. So if the US is "war loving" for having such a day, let us not...

    It's a Sin to Disrespect the President and to not Submit to his Authority

    Love Scarlett's thread. Look, folks, here's the straight poop on this thread: Zaac doesn't like y'all calling our president names (and yes, he's "our" president, whether you voted for him or not, whether you disagree with him or not; just as military members are required to obey and follow...

    Stocks Rise 108% during Obama Presidency

    Thanks, CTB; I use trend lines in Excel based on time periods. I'll compare the two methods when I get some time.

    Stocks Rise 108% during Obama Presidency

    CTB - your trend chart is meaningless without the division of time over which the increase occurred.

    Stocks Rise 108% during Obama Presidency

    Oh, please. The whole article starts out with a "cautionary" note (see bolded). Further, the same article goes on to say: This isn't a "negative" report, or a "negative" reply. This article was written to show the positives of what's been happening; but also as a caution to expect...
