S.E. Cupp vs. Liberal Nun: A Clip You’ll Probably Want to See

November 16, 2012 at 4:26pm

I despair trying to get pinheaded people to see through the fallacy of government mandated poverty cures such as the minimum wage. 00100111 got it just right and without delving deeper and thereby turning off many by the process. If the minimum wage was the panacea for poverty as the nun seems to believe, why not make it $50 an hour or $100 an hour? Viewed in those terms takes it right to the logical conclusion and that is if it isn’t a market friendly solution someone else has to pay the difference or the business will go out of business.

The opposite of the statist Left is not conservatism but anarchism. The extreme Left is wall-to-wall government, the extreme Right no government at all, or anarchy. The Left is all totalitarian government systems, Communism, Nazism, Fascism.

As Rahm Emmanuel said about crises in general we should not let it go to waste. Applied here by Hizzoner, Da Mare can cash in and rescue those young skulls full of mush from the ignorance and epic failure of current dumbed down teaching and curricula.
Fellow SEAL’s Strong Message for ‘Benedict Arnold’ Behind OBL Raid Book

It has been said, Øbama would not qualify for access to certain classified information or to be anywhere in the chain of command except, unfortunately the top spot achieved by virtue of the stupidity of voters. General McChrystal’s stance is commendable as the author points out but in the case of McChrystal he was an Øbama supporter and that alone removes him from the blessings of true patriots – or should.
Here Are 5 People Mitt Romney Should Not Pick as VP

August 10, 2012 at 12:12am

“John Ellis “Jeb” Bush’s name has been thrown around a lot as a possible VP nominee and some think he’d be a solid candidate for the job. But wasn’t he the same guy who once said George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan would have a hard time working with today’s GOP (i.e. the Tea Party)? Yes, he was.”

Indeed! In Olympic terms it takes a triple jump to conclude that the GOP did this on their own. To use a phrase from our truth-challenged president “Republicans, you didn’t build this movement, the Tea Party did.”
Teenager Who Once Wowed Conservatives with CPAC Speech Admits: No Longer Conservative

The little **** has reversed the process of “If you are a conservative before you are 30 you have no heart if you are a liberal after 30 you have no brains.” The heartless one has until his 30th birthday to get a brain. Rush has well said, “liberalism is not an intellectual pursuit. Liberalism is basically the most gutless choice you can make. It’s nothing but emotion and feeling. They see a homeless person, ‘Oh, I feel so bad. Oh, look, I feel so bad, because I have sympathy I’m a good person.” Conservative sees a homeless person, “What are we going to do about that, that’s not good, this is not good for the country. We need to find a way to make that person productive.” ‘Ah,’ the liberals say that’s not compassion. But conservatism is an intellectual pursuit and people that are turned on and inspired by conservatism will be active, intellectually involved in the program and liberals just cannot ascertain this active participation, active audience participation because there’s no intellect involved in liberalism, it’s purely emotion based.”
Exclusive: Actor Jay Mohr Talks About His ‘Calling’ to Faith & Laments Atheists’ ‘Child-Like’ Rejection of God

What convinced the cerebral G Gordon Liddy to switch from atheism to belief in a creator was the dilemma of uncaused first cause. No other explanation can possibly explain the universe only a creator who preexisted before eternity and will exist throughout eternity.

I recall some wag at the Smithsonian universe exhibition commenting to a visitor that the magnificent production was the result of a terrible thunderstorm causing the visitor to exclaim, my goodness you cannot be serious. Well, of course not, but you, if you don’t believe in a creator accept that the even more preposterous proposition that the very creation this miniature production is but a poor replica of, has come about by mere happenstance.

Far better for children to reject Darwin’s theory of evolution because they can’t believe we came from monkeys than to teach them to repeat the theory by rote as if we were descended from parrots.

Creation or what?

Posted to Laura Ingraham 365 Topic of the Day 8/27/11:

There are just 4 possible explanations for the universe:

1. The universe eternally existed
2. The universe just sprang into existence on its own
3. The universe doesn’t exist at all, it is just a figment of our imagination
4. The universe created by a creator

The first explanation is refuted by the Second Law of Thermodynamics or entropy:

The Second law is a straightforward law of physics with the consequence that, in a closed system, you can’t finish any real physical process with as much useful energy as you had to start with — some is always wasted. So if the universe eternally existed it would by definition have been run down and would no longer exist. I think of this along the lines of saying, what if I told you that this ice cream cone I am holding has been in my hand now for 30 days. On the face of it, you would know I had to be lying because if I did hold it that long, it would have melted by now.

The second explanation is absurd on its face

The third is equally absurd although believed by certain Eastern religions

The fourth explanation is the only one that make sense and is consistent with the known facts, i.e. the universe does exist and could not have become what it is unless created by a designer.

I’m underwhelmed by his cafeteria Catholicism; doesn’t believe in a literal hell, can’t answer without flinching or apology who Jesus is when asked if he is God’s son.
“When I asked Mohr if Jesus is God’s son, he paused briefly. “I think we‘re all God’s sons, because in John 3:16, he says ‘you’re the son of God,‘ but earlier in John he says ’you’re the son of man,’” he claimed.

Sounds like the Øbama copout on the question does he believe in American Exceptionalism. Some rotgut answer, well yeah we are exceptional but so is Greece and other countries.
Has Former Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro ‘Rediscovered Jesus?’

In reply to Mister July.

Forgiveness is a tenet of the Christian religion. It is altogether possible that the follower of the Beast could be redeemed and that is a matter between him and God but we do know this, evidence of a true inner redemption will manifest itself in life changing ways. If he is a true convert, massive amounts of political prisoners will be released and a sincere act of contrition would result in returning the billions stolen from the Cuban people and the businesses seized without compensation.
