• Former Volleyball Star Gabrielle Reece Ignites Controversy With Marriage Advice: Being ‘Submissive’ Is a Sign of Strength

  April 15, 2013 at 9:41am

  In reply to Eliza59.

  Writing G-d instead of God is a Jewish practice that shows reverence for His name.

  I am another one of those “backwards” women who believe in submission to her husband. I get chided by the feminists when I mention it. The bible tells us to be submissive, but it also tells the men to love their wives life Christ loved the church. It is a symbiotic, God-focused relationship. When we finally put Christ at the top of the relationship instead of our own selves, and he began to treat me the way the bible describes and I began to submit to him, our marriage started to thrive. Things don’t always make sense in the bible when viewed through the lenses of our “worldly” view. But when we have faith that God’s way is best, and when we are obedient to His plan, He blesses us. Being submissive is not synonymous with becoming a doormat, or being less than men, or having no opinion, or no authority in the home. That is the worldly definition.

• Joe Biden Rolls Out New Domestic Violence Prevention Program with Odd Comment: Not ‘Your Garden-Variety Slap Across the Face’

  March 13, 2013 at 9:18pm

  It’s wrong for a man to slap a woman. However, I will say that it kind of ticks me off that a woman can’t slap a man anymore. There have been less than a handful of times in my life that a man (if you could call them that) has gotten fresh with me to the point of making sexual advances, and I would have LOVED to haul off and slap him across the face. I wouldn’t have called it assault either. And no, I’m not a feminist who thinks men and women are always equal in everything…I think God made men and women for different purposes and I’ve got old-fashioned ideas about that. Anyway, you can get verbally assaulted and have a man get right in your face and in your space and can’t do anything about it (even walking away doesn’t work sometimes, especially when they just follow you or corner you). Yet if you even TOUCH someone, you can be charged with assault. A poke to the chest with a finger results in cries of, “You just touched me, you physically assaulted me!” I think the laws are very ambiguous with little or no room for someone to use their judgment when trying a case like that.

  ***I will say that females who don’t act like ladies who try to beat up on men and curse at them and spit on them DESERVE to have reasonable force used against them. They are assaulting men and the men should have a right to defend themselves. If a female wants to act like a man and get scrappy, she made her bed and she can lie in it.***

• Ted Nugent Says He Killed 455 Hogs With a Machine Gun From a Helicopter for Bill Maher

  When there are that many and they are that big of a menace, costing who knows how many dollars worth of damage to property, they don’t need a sporting chance. They just need to be eliminated. They breed way to quickly and don’t really have any natural enemies in the wild. It’s not the same as deer hunting. These hogs are in need of some serious population control!

  This is a perfect reason to have a machine gun! Do y’all know how hard it is to kill a lot of those suckers? They’re tearing up everything and they are a menace. Just one more unintended consequence of government regulations. I’m with Ted, “The second amendment IS my concealed carry license.” Also, I believe the second amendment was put in place to protect us from tyrants, and that means we should have similar firepower. I see nothing wrong with law abiding citizens having automatic rifles.

• Indoctrination? Houston Public School Assembly Slams Bush and Heaps Praise on Obama (Update: District Apologizes)

  In reply to Leslie Anne.

  Yes, but don’t disengage. Most of the people I know who home school (myself included) are protesting and writing congressmen and spreading the word all over facebook about the problems in the public school system. The goal here isn’t just to save our own kids and leave the rest be, it’s to fix the broken system so that in a generation we don’t have a liberal run state. Can you imagine what would happen? More laws that make it harder to home school, take away our freedom to live the way we want to, eat the foods we want, teach our kids the religion of our choosing. Home school, by all means, please! Just don’t be an isolationist. Fight for our schools and children. They are our future, and there are a whole lot more of them in public school than home schooled (or private or Christian school). They are being indoctrinated daily, and we need to make it stop.

  Redfish, of ALL places in Texas you could choose, Austin is one of the worst! (In my humble opinion) Stay away from Austin, San Antonio, Houston, El Paso, Dallas county, and the border. There are plenty of conservative places in Texas, but is seems like more and more liberals are moving into the big cities and turning them blue. West Texas is one of the most conservative areas. Abilene, Lubbock, Amarillo. I live 70 miles north of Dallas and it’s super conservative here. There’s even a huge difference between Dallas and Ft. Worth. We’re trying with all our might to get rid of this CSCOPE curriculum. I don’t know how the libs in Austin ever got it passed (well, because we refused the Common Core, then they put a new name on it and disguised it a bit and fooled people). Anyway, we need as many conservatives in Texas as we can get. I’m about ready to close our borders to everyone coming from the east and west coasts. They fled from progressive states for lower taxes and a better economy, then they want to vote for liberals who are going to turn Texas into what they left. Where’s the sense in that? Sorry, rant over!!! I just don’t want to see my state turn purple or blue.

• 13-Year-Old Dressed as Batman Villian Shoots Himself Dead in Front of Horrified Classmates

  I don’t know about their school, but ours is a couple hours south, down in Texas, and we had See You At The Pole this morning. Students gather at the school flagpole for a student led prayer event. It’s an annual event. We’ve been having them for a long time…I can remember having them in middle school, so that’s been at least 20 years.

• Did You Know It’s Illegal to Preach the Gospel on Bourbon Street After Dark? This Pastor Is Suing

  September 22, 2012 at 11:44am

  In reply to floridareader.

  @DEAVONRAYE He or she was not calling people names. It’s a reference to the bible. Matthew 7:6 says, “Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.” I don’t think I could explain this better than my HCSB study bible, so I’ll just paraphrase from there:

  Pearls: symbolically to speak of insightful and valuable teaching. Here, symbolize Jesus’ teachings given by the disciples.

  Pigs: ritually unclean; eat spoiled food but have no appreciation for pearls, just as the wicked consume wicked pleasures but disregard the gospel; this contempt for the gospel is pictured by the pig trampling the pearls underfoot. That pigs may turn against the one offering the pearls shows that contempt for the gospel message can become contempt fot the gospel messenger, as has often happened in history.

• Here’s Our Obligatory Post on a French Paper Publishing Topless Pics of Kate Middleton (Poll)

  September 14, 2012 at 10:13am

  I think the video sums this up quite nicely. This was a gross invasion of privacy, snapping pictures with a telescopic lens while they were in a remote private house with the expectation of privacy. She’s right…there’s really nothing that the royal family can do about it. I think it just paints a sad picture of how rude our society is today. We have no respect for one another. These tabloids only care to exploit. I like the analogy she gave at the end of the video about the pressure on public figures, whether the royals, or politicians, or celebrities. They are constantly being scrutinized. Too fat, too thin, are they pregnant, etc. Just take a look at the so called “news” website, even FoxNews. They have an entertainment section that daily has stories and photo slide shows, such as: “Pregnant or Ham Sandwich, Hot or Not Bikini Photos, Stars Who Lost Their Mojo, Stars Who Don’t Dress Their Age, Wardrobe Malfunctions” et al.

  I know people will say, “Well, she shouldn’t be naked.” I just don’t agree with that. I have sunbathed in my backyard with a privacy fence. I don’t go topless, but I usually pull my top down as much as possible to avoid an unflattering tan line. here are moments when I’m exposed (granted, I’m “supposed” to be alone and private). Can you imagine if nosy neighbors started climbing second story houses a couple blocks away with a long lens? Or peeking over a fence? I don’t see how this is different because she’s a public figure. She

• ‘Prophecy Fulfilled’: Artwork Seemingly Likens Obama to Jesus Christ

  September 5, 2012 at 11:09am

  In reply to everyone thinking Obama is the antichrist:
  Obama is not the antichrist. The bible tells us that the rapture occurs before the antichrist is revealed. I don’t see Obama’s characteristics matching those of the antichrist. Besides, so many people are too disillusioned with him already. The timeline is all wrong. http://www.raptureready.com/faq/faq234.html

  The Holy Spirit is holding the antichrist back, and the Holy Spirit lives in us. It’s not until we are raptured that the antichrist will be released. I don’t believe any large public figure today is the antichrist.

  In regards to the article:
  These people basically “worshipped” Obama in 2008 as well. The think he’s their “savior.” They are delusional. This is so blatantly false and blasphemous. Any Christian should know better, even democratic Christians.
