How would you feel about a Sarah Palin Presidency?

[Major B]

Now that was fuuuny...

Huh! About 15 of them (all guys) are living in a house catty-cornered across the street from me. They play that mariachi-oompah music all the time. (I counter with Lynard Skynard)

1. I would feel more comfortable with Palin than Biden. It's more about the people that surround you.
2. You(and many others) give way too much power to the President. He/She has virtually no power without the House and Senate---it's not a Monarch position.
3. As usual---your fallback, ludicrous response is in reaction to the Dems stance on the war and poverty. 2 things you need to educate yourself on:

A. There is no place in the Bible that says the Government is responsible for taking on the poor. It is up to us as individuals and as a Church----period!
B. Regarding your war comments:http://www.gotquestions.org/war-Bible.html:tonofbricks:

Under Bush the power of the Presidency has increased tremendously. That was one thing I didn't like that has been going on. As I've said here many times, I would far prefer that individuals and the church take care of poor people. It hasn't happened in my life time. I believe it was more common 1900-1959. I think going farther away from that. Do you actually believe the church will step in and do that? I don't. So, it's equivalent to saying that you don't think it's your responsibility to help the poor (not one or two but large numbers) when you say that the church should do that.

I'm sure the other neighbors find it refreshing to be in such a multi cultural area.

Well, I know my church has/does provide for the poor--from food pantries, to charities, to clothes and other items, to mission work for food and shelter as well as personally helping out(as well as most people in my church I know do). There will always be poor and there will always be people who abuse charity. I would rather take the Republican stance of teach them to fish(for most) but sometimes you need to feed them as well. Overall it is not the responsibility of the Government---if enough isn't being done then Christians should feel the shame and step up.
And regarding the info on the link for the Bible and war? I see you left no comment on that.:wavey:

Our church has a very active social welfare program, including construction work, food, help with utilities, etc.

As for presidential power, it has always waxed and waned. Andrew Jackson and his successors were a lot like Putin and his boys, but by 1856, you had a president with little power, then followed by one who ran a virtual dictatorship (Lincoln). It can go from powerful (Nixon) to weak (Ford, Carter) to strong again (Reagan), in no time at all.

Oh come on BB...Howard Dean and the powers that be in the DNC took away the delegates from Michigan and Florida because they didnt want Hillary to win..Obama didnt win the nomination....he was placed there, handed to him by the DNC.

AJ

Not to mention the cover up by the media of the Edwards affair until Obama got the nomination given to him by the DNC...

How did Obama get votes in Michigan when his name wasn't on the ticket?
The DNC and their crooks gave them to him...

And they cried foul in 2000... over idiots in FL that are not smart enough to know how to vote correctly!

Thank you.

This is my second family. His older brother is 28 and has a daughter, and his older sister is 25 and has a son.

Most days Joshua is a wonderful child but today he is being a brat....:BangHead:

He would look even better in a Red Sox hat.

He loves sports, but right now he only follows the Arkansas Razorbacks and NASCAR. He just fell asleep on the living room floor watching the NASCAR race....thank goodness. He was wound up today.

Yeah, we get our grand kids, and it's amazing how they wear you out. The best part about it is when they leave, and you can enjoy the memories of the activities you did, in peace.

I will turn 49 next week, and I have grand kids AND a 3 year old son. I dont have anybody to send him back to....LOL

49 ? Very good. I've been 47 for a few months. I have a 16 year old daughter, and my marriage gave me 2 grandsons, 8 & 5, and one on the way.

I know this is off topic so this will be my last post on this, but I just have to tell you how the Lord has blessed us.

My wife was 38 and I was 44 when we got married. She had been married for 15 years until her husband decided to leave her and go become a Wiccan. Up until she was 33 she had tried to have children, surgeries, pills, the whole fertility treatment thing. Finally, at age 33 she was told that she just couldnt conceive and she quit trying. At age 35 she got divorced and at age 38 we got married, her thinking that she could never get pregnant.

Well, we were married for only two months when she called me from the doctor's office and said "I'm pregnant".

Joshua is our little miracle baby and a true gift from God.

Ok, I wont go off topic again.

AJ

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Yeah, I gotcha. Both Phyllis and I had a lot in our pasts that we had to be scared about. We look forward.

 

[billwald]

I'd buy land in Canada or Australia if she became president.

I put him as a write in on most of the ballots I mailed to Michigan. I assume others did also.

And they cried foul in 2000... over idiots in FL that are not smart enough to know how to vote correctly!

The instructions were in English, now how was that fair?

I'm laughing, but not sure if you meant it as a joke. But even if you didn't, that's some funny stuff.

Yes, it's a spin off Major and his neighbors.

Todd would be great conversation but Michelle is better looking.

I guess it depends on if the wife will be there or now. :laugh: :wavey:

Todd is WAY better looking than Michelle and I think he knows a lot more about life than she does. I'd have a ball with him around.
