Actually it has been completely debunked. It is just rhetoric to soothe the conscience for supporting a pro-abortion President.

I don't hate conservatives. I hate their twisted ideas and the harm they are doing not only to the country but also to the church. Jesus would support my beliefs because He said "Love thy enemies." Do you love your enemies?Pastor Larry said:You just can't help yourself can you. Bush is not in office, and the last trillion dollar spending bill has nothing to do with Bush. That is on Obama.
I don't see many people defending Bush's spending and condemning Obama's. Most of us thinking people oppose both.
Why do you hate conservatives so much? Does Jesus approve of this behavior?
That's not really credible, but whatever.I don't hate conservatives.
First, you don't hate what they do to the church more than I do. However, you have yet to show that the ideas are twisted. I think if we compare ideas side by side, the conservative ideas are far more viable and far more helpful to people than liberal ideas.I hate their twisted ideas and the harm they are doing not only to the country but also to the church.
I don't think loving your enemies is what you are doing here.Jesus would support my beliefs because He said "Love thy enemies."
Of course.Do you love your enemies?
LeBuick said:That sizes it up just about right... According to this article, Republican's will need to focus more because the Dems are out spending them. Of course, the Republican has more earmarks for less money so I guess we can call him conservative...
The Senate leaders, however, did not rank at the top of the chamber in terms of earmarks in the omnibus. The two Republican senators from Mississippi, Thad Cochran , a member of the Appropriations Committee, and Roger Wicker , had the most Senate earmarks. They were followed by Democrats Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana and Tom Harkin of Iowa.
The top House earmark recipient was Mazie K. Hirono , D-Hawaii, who secured $128.7 million in earmarks, most of them in coordination with, Inouye whose chairmanship gave him clout to win the projects.
Ron Paul , R-Texas, who touted his fiscal conservatism in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination last year, was the top House Republican earmark recipient in the omnibus. Paul, who routinely votes against spending measures, got $73.7 million in earmarks, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense.
Steve Ellis, the vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, cautioned that lawmakers such as House Defense Appropriations Chairman John P. Murtha , D-Pa., who usually get the most earmarks did not rank as high on the omnibus because it does not include the Defense appropriations measure that Congress passed last year.

I don't hate liberals. I just hate what they stand for (or sometimes what they won't take a stand for). There's a big difference. I can disagree with what someone says & hate what they do. That doesn't mean I hate that person.
Just so you know, I'll tell you exactly what I hate: Gun Control, Abortion, Homosexuality, Being dependant on the government, Taxes, The U.N., Illegal Immigration, & Big Government where they control every aspect of your life. I don't think Jesus would have a problem with that.
I have never claimed sole possession of God's will. Please show me where I did that?Bro. Curtis said:Do you love the unborn ? Does Jesus support your habit of disappearing when challenged ? You say some pretty silly things on this board, but claiming sole possession of God's will is really abhorrent.
And I do believe you hate conservatives, if you didn't, you wouldn't lie about them.
You certainly don't show it here.Pastor Larry said:That's not really credible, but whatever.

Of course.

Don't show what? That I hate what politics is doing to the church? I have taken a lot of heat for that over the years because I refuse to entangle the church in politics.You certainly don't show it here.

BigBossman said:Last night, I was watching Hannity & he played numerous excerpts with Obama stating that he would go "line by line" to eliminate earmarks. Why he's not planning to do it this time, I don't know.
My question is, why are these earmarks being put into this bill anyways? Why do they have to put all of those pet projects into it? Surely, the Senate & House know that we are up against tough times. Why would they go & spend more money like this?

LadyEagle said:09/22/2008 Obama was against earmarks.
There are quite a few of Obama's campaign statements where he promised to go through budgets line by line against earmarks. Hannity just played some video clips. Obama's campaign promises about earmarks certainly ring hollow.
But of course, some of us knew he was saying anyting to get elected. And it worked.
Revmitchell said:President Barack Obama will break a campaign pledge and sign a budget bill laden with millions in lawmakers' pet projects, administration officials said.
Administration budget chief Peter Orszag and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel both downplayed the $410 billion spending bill and signaled Obama would hold his nose and sign it. Orszag said: "We want to just move on. Let's get this bill done, get it into law and move forward.
Said Emanuel: "That's last year's business."
The House last week passed the measure that would keep the government running through Sept. 30, when the federal budget year ends. Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group, identified almost 8,600 specially sponsored projects totaling $7.7 billion; Democrats say the number is $3.8 billion.
