Baseball Star Details Post-Retirement Plans to Spread the Christian Faith (Plus: His Views on the Bible and Homosexuality)

In reply to love the kids.

@BROTHAJOE – Obviously you think yourself a witty writer and a person of a keen intelligence based on your numerous posts. Unfortunately you are a bore. You lack all substance in your observations. Identifying a specific topic in the comment of others and then disagreeing with them or taking an opposite position. Attacking the author of a post has been a common theme for you as well as ad hominem drivel which adds nothing to advancing the debate.
Finally, the anonymity you possess here allows you to stoop to cowardly statements you would never say face to face with others in public. You repeated comments and vitriolic tone lead me to believe you have anger demons as well as self-esteem issues.
I pray for G*d to banish your demons and then to shine the light of knowledge and wisdom upon you. By His grace, may He use you to promote healthy and civil debate for the purpose of enlightening a larger audience. Amen.
Chrysler Rejects U.S. Request to Recall Millions of Vehicles At Risk of Fuel Tank Fire

It is a 0.00001888888% fatality rate. And the NHTSA say the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Liberty is nearly double compared with the Chevrolet S10 Blazer, Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, Isuzu Rodeo, Isuzu Trooper, Mitsubishi Montero, Suzuki Sidekick and Suzuki XL-7? WTF!
Chrysler Rejects U.S. Request to Recall Millions of Vehicles At Risk of Fuel Tank Fire

Fourteen years of manufacturing 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee’s and Jeep Liberty’s with a total of 37 crashes with 51 deaths (NHTSA found at least 32 rear-impact crashes and fires in Grand Cherokees that caused 44 deaths. It also found at least five rear crashes in Libertys, causing seven deaths.) While we can all recognize that every life lost is one life too many, I think we can recognize there are between 29,757-39,252 traffic fatalities every year in the United States (NHTSA
FATALITY ANALYSIS REPORTING SYSTEM (FARS) ENCYCLOPEDIA) over the last 20 years. Bottom line, the NHTSA is wanting a recall of 2.7 million vehicles at a cost of at least $400 million over a fatality rate that is not even a blip on a rounding error.
Military Veteran’s AR-15 Confiscated by Police – But the Reason Why Is the Real Story

Towards the end of my last tour in Iraq, the order was to Shout, Show, Shove, Shoot! Obviously, depending upon the level of threat, our ROEs allowed an immediate escalation to lethal force. For us, the show part was to point your weapon in the direction of the suspected threat while the shove part normally involved a shot into their radiator or windshield. That was normally enough to get an approaching vehicle to stop or to slam into reverse to speed away.

My point is that I do believe the account of this soldier’s combat ROEs.

However, he is not deployed anymore and he should understand that his civilian ROEs must be changed to account for legal ramifications. I agree with @Monk and would have given no warning, waited for the criminal to enter my house, and then shoot him multiple times until all his movements ceased.

I also recommend that you say absolutely nothing until you speak to your lawyer if you discharge your weapon in self defense. Know your attorney ahead of time and how your interactions need to play out. You want to survive the post-event dangers safely, just as you did during the event. ALWAYS CALL YOUR LAWYER IMMEDIATELY AND DO NOT SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE LAW INLESS YOUR LAWYER SAYS YOU CAN!!!
Is This One of the Best or Strangest Acceptance Speeches You’ve Seen?

It’s just plain funny! Not taking yourself too seriously while making fun of the “award show” hoop-la fits perfectly with the character of Rush. Thank you.
CBO: Obamacare in its First Decade Will Cost Double What the President Promised

@uradbcon

Of course you are ok with the cost!

There is no personal investment of time and effort by you in the well being of others. You’re just happy to pay double what was promised when the the ACA was voted on and passed by only democrats. Now the nation is saddled with an enormous debt ($900 million more than promised) which you could care less about. I think you need to read your bible again because the topic most talked about is financial responsibility, and there is none with the ACA.

Additionally, you are using this passage from the bible horribly out of context. It refers to the heart of the individual to treat others in a loving and caring manner, not to absolve yourself of any effort. The government is not responsible for making sure you receive salvation. That is a personal matter between you and God.
Worst Stunt Ever? Terrified Moviegoers Call 911 After Theater Sends Fake Armed Gunman Into ‘Iron Man 3′ Screening

@ FEDUP
I am sure your assesment in more correct than I care to admit. However, I stand by my statement of action. The headline might be radically different but I must believe that justice would be done.
I will reflect that I erred in my previous comment. A better response in engaging this actor character would be to yell and only shoot if his weapon was moved in an upward manner, leading me to believe he intended to shoot.
Hmmm…..? Nah, I would have still shot him on sight. I’m not going to risk the safety of my children and the innocent around me just to fit a PC narrative. BANG! Your dead!
Worst Stunt Ever? Terrified Moviegoers Call 911 After Theater Sends Fake Armed Gunman Into ‘Iron Man 3′ Screening

I’m a single father with two kids, ages 9 and 12. I’m also a veteran with a concealed carry permit. I carry at all times, period! There is nothing more important to me than the safety of my children and that of innocent people around me. I rarely go to movie theaters (too expensive). Yesterday I took my kids to the $3.00 movie theater in my town. Had this stunt been pulled with me in the theater, you’d be reading a story about how a movie goer shot and killed an actor dressed up in tactical gear to include props resembling a M4 and M9 military styled weapons.
The manager, Bob Wilkins, should have been wise enough to realize that sending an actor into that theater dressed in full tactical gear could have resulted in the accidental death of the actor by one of his patrons. This is beyond irresponsible! I’m sure that this action could even criminal if the people of Jefferson, Missouri where to demand an investigation.
By the way, how freakin’ stupid is this bozo actor who willingly put on tactical gear and walked into a theater? BANG! You’re dead!
Do You Think What This GOP Rep. Said Will Hurt Him?

April 16, 2013 at 3:33pm

I don’t think this will have much of a negative impact, if any at all, to him if he chooses to run for office again.

The reason is that, unlike Romney, Woodall had an immediate, clear, and reasoned response to the “47%” comment. Romney failed at a coherant explaination for the majority of the people he was referencing. Had he done so, I believe we would have Mitt Romney as the president now.

Side bar: Did any of you hear the the audio of Obama responding to the Boston attack compared to his response to the Benghazi attack? I’m refering to the “…any individual or group…will feel the full effect of swift justice…”,(paraphrased) portion of his statements. They are nearly IDENTICAL, as if he were reading the same canned remarks.
Lesbian Couple Wins Discrimination Lawsuit Against Religious Bed and Breakfast Owner Who Denied Them a Room

In reply to WTFHappenedToTheUSA.

@encinom

I’ve seen you make this claim before. Where do you get your data from? Do you have a link that proves this claim as a fact? To be clear, I’m not saying you are incorrect or correct. I have searched the internet and can’t find anything factual that backs up your claim. I’m sure you have a source to validate your claims of the number of wars and deaths attributed to a religion -vs- to a non-religion.

I also see that you seem to quickly and consistently empathise with LGBTO causes and rarely, if ever, with those who do not believe in the validity or cause of LGBTO. I can understand the feelings of frustration, anger, embarassment, and hurt one might feel by being rejected from renting a room in a bed and breakfast. I can also understand the fear of being exposed to LGBTO activities happening in your home when your religion tells you it is a sin. Why do you appear hateful and bigoted (based on your definitions, not mine) towards anyone who expresses their religious views, even when you don’t agree with them? Where’s you empathy towards religious civil liberties?

I am searching for honest and intellectual answers from you. I will not name call, nor engage you in any name calling, as I will consider any such action to mean you do not take my questions seriously.
