Who is this 'he'? This is about a 'they' and, specifically, torture allegations and other human rights violations made against CIA operatives.

Er...I've been posting on the BB for over 7 years now so I'm hardly a 'Johnny-Come-Lately'. It is of course convenient for you to state that the subject has been covered already since that absolves you from having to answer the questions posed here which are, after all, pretty simple. Not...

I agree that prosecutions might be going too far (although that point is moot), but certainly the placing of the worst abuses of the Bush Administration into the public domain is a timely move and means that Americans can hold their heads high and proud to the rest of the world once again. Now...

You can quote all you like, but if the author of the quote is wrong, as he is in this case, that makes the quote wrong. Nonsequitur, no-one who has asserted that Obama is a Marxist has yet to adduce any concrete evidence that he is one, as opposed to a liberal or social democrat, nor has...

But Alive in Christ made a general point, not specific to the title of this thread.

Not all of it; 'only' (ha!) the earnings over around £40kpa are taxed at that rate.

In that case, I'm obviously poor! "Spare some cash for a poor lawyer, guv'nor!"

Yes he does. But before we get too smug, we all do; there but for the grace of God etc...

What a hateful little toad of a man! Glad the Admins banned him.

I was challenging Alive in Christ's general ie: not limited to Marianism and Mariolatry statement that we should all stick to the Scriptures alone.

OK, then, Rev Mitchell: please supply evidence that Obama is a Marxist as distinct from a social democrat or liberal.

$100,000pa (£60,000pa or 68,500 euros pa) is pretty well-off. It's more than I earn as a lawyer.

Yes, you are indeed being dismissive. Suspicion confirmed.

That's precisely my suspicion, too, and one which is borne out by the dismissive attitude towards the posts of those who disagree with him. I read The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital when I was a teenager as part of my history course at school; I've also lived under Labour governments of...

There's no agenda, just observation and in particular the observation that terms such as 'socialist' and 'communist' are bandied about here in such a way as to render them almost devoid of meaning other than that to which I alluded in my last post and with little or no attempt to understand the...

Agenda? What agenda? I have no more an agenda than the next poster...:confused:

Oh, but that's an easy topic for evangelicals to agree on; you might as well pose the question, "is the Catholic Church the One True Church?" and you'll get a uniform 'no' from evos. But here's a more difficult one for y'all as your 'starter for ten': did Christ die for the elect only or for all?

I agree with Spear - Obama is a long, long way from Marxism. I'm not sure whether anyone here has actually lived in or visited a genuinely Marxist country for more than a week or two. I have: my first wife was from the Soviet Union and we used to go and stay with her parents in Yaroslavl...

Er...you did - when you said that families and churches could never do enough. And your Constitution can be and has been amended - right? [Cross post with Spear, who makes an excellent point]

So by your own admission you need a mixture of all three - which is what we have in Europe and indeed what I understand you to have in the US, the only difference being one of the degree to which government is a player out of the three. [cross-posted with Johnv; yes, charitable giving is more...
