Umm... correct me if I am wrong, but evolution is supposedly a mindless directionless process, it is not guided by someone purposefully deselecting anything. Hoe do you "deselect" homosexuality? Perhaps you mean something else? You make it appear as something you will intentionally do to our current population. Bewildered, C Seems she means "deselect" as in "dismiss or reject". I looked it up on Merriam-Webster dictionary. In other words, if I understand her premise- she sees no reason within evolution to reject it. I don't think many people actually use that term anyway. (deselect) Btw- you, Old Shep, and Cobalt are doing great, IMO. I'm just reading along but thought I'd comment on the vocabulary. Yes and no: I meant natural de-selection, when a certain genetical or biological characteristic is not part of the gene pool anymore. Maybe "extinction" would be more appropriate... sorry for my English. There is no intentionality in extinction (de-selection) as there is no intentionality in success (selection). For instance, according to evolution theory, our far ancestors had a tail which has been almost totally eradicated from our genes pool since no more useful. I say "almost" because sometimes babies can be born with a tail, still. Ciao - viole Well, I am an English major. Maybe you meant that, however, the way you wrote your sentence does have an inherent logic based on supporting or not supporting a premise. That's why I looked up the word and the meaning of that word. Since this subject isn't geared to evolution so I won't go there.

Good question, Nebula! I believe it is so to a certain extent. In any case, it is Jesus who is the real Head of the Body.

Agreed. Too bad we don't have someone in the White House like that.

Lol, Mizzdy!

I read about this. I think it stems from their inability to "control" Bibi Netanyahu and I also think it ties to anti-semitism. I'm not in the least bit surprised at the exchange. To me, it is the pot calling the kettle black.

Actually, no, the real lesson is that the Left, and our main-stream media are blatant racists. The reason Herman Cain is being lynched by the media is because he is Conservative, Black, and leading in the polls, and that scares them even worse than Sarah Palin did. Because if Herman Cain wins the primaries, he renders every single pat defense that the Left uses to negate a conservative candidate moot, and useless. They can't play the race card after that and it is the one tactic they rely on time after time. Since the Left, and the media is constantly hinting that there is still so much closet racism in our society and blaming absolutely every problem in society on racism, you would think they would be over-joyed that Herman Cain is doing so well. Strangely, that's not what we see. Because what they say, and how they actually feel are two different things. They do not like Herman Cain doing well at all, because he is conservative and that stands everything they are always carping about a racist country on it's head. So they have to find a way to get rid of him, and there are few options, because they can't play the race card at all. A woman cropping up here and there to make claims, most of them anonomous is supposed to be a trail of bread crumbs. But we aren't biting, Cain isn't going down, and the left is getting frustrated. Were Herman Cain a cronic sexual harrassment junkie, victims would be coming out of the wood work. The fact that they are having to turn over rocks to find someone willing to say he sexually harrassed them and they don't want anyone to know who they are says a great deal. It says the allegations are bogus. That part is not hard to figure out and it is actually helping him because a great many people see it for exactly what it is. The media is going to have to re-think their strategy because the same tired tricks they've used for decades just don't work anymore. Agreed, Cobalt. If that happened to a real victim, she would not be backing off and the whole procedure seems fishy to me.... kind of strained, if you ask me. Clinton was a whole 'nother matter. I knew from the get-go that he was no good and I was only in the 5th grade at the time. No one discussed him to me. I was just sitting with Papa watching the debate and I knew something was "off" with that man. I even understood what was going on in the debate and I turned to my Papa and said, 'That does not make any (logical) sense" and he was dumbfounded a 5th grade girl could see through all of that smoke screen. Added to say, Papa was a registered Democrat who lived in Arkansas at the time of CLinton's governship and he never really "cottoned" to the guy. I even said to a liberal speech teacher of mine who was "arguing" with me that he was going to embarrass himself and sure enough, I was right later on. She was a supporter of his. That said- I didn't get the same vibe with Cain so far. I'm not "voting" for him but I'm watching as it unfolds- some things I think he say is excellent..

Fox News had some more information on this issue. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/11/04/obama-administration-opposes-fdr-prayer-at-wwii-memorial/

It is not just irony; it is hypocrisy. They don't like freeloaders any more than the rest of us, yet they want to create a nation full of freeloaders, yet complain when people freeload off of them, particularly when it is the kind of people they are supposedly fighting for in the streets. You could cut the hypocrisy with a knife. To quote one person in the article: “We need to limit the amount of food we’re putting out to curb the influx of derelicts,” The protesters themselves are derelicts. And they are there by choice. A good many of the homeless are not homeless by choice, but we can't help them. Protesters whining about Wall Street and squating in a public park, them we can help. Yet another blatant example of liberal "tolerance" but no one notices, or says a word. Yup.

Good.

Mmmm.... verrrry interesting.

I like it! I would like to share that on my Facebook page but wanted to ask first if that was ok with you?

Yes, Stephen is. I've had the pleasure to read his autobiography and also "listened" to his testimony several times on TBN. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a battle for Alec. I do pray that he does come to Christ. I'm surprised Alec went to the bat against those. I vaguely read something about some Hollywood folks who are supporting this ridiculous behavior at OWS.

Agreed. I do not care for Halloween but I do think schools have become so politicially correct that they lose sight of what schools are really all about: EDUCATION. Get back to teaching children what is absolutely necessary. Sometimes I wonder if we have allowed so much into the schools with celebrating every thing in the first place. Shouldn't it be done in the home/community/neighborhood? All of this political correctness is gone amok. We can't please everyone at all times and we shouldn't apologize for it either. They have to understand it doesn't always go THEIR way. I could understand if schools have a celebration for the 4th of July holiday because I believe that would be a good way to have kids connect the holiday and how it is relevant to American History.

I remember this site. I think this guy supposedly was an insider who worked at one time in the WH admin or somehow knew what was going on BEFORE some events transpired : read the fallout on the who /what/ how regarding Osama Bin Laden's death and there was an internal struggle at least some time BEFORE it actually happened. And then I believe there were some mainstream articles that mentioned the issue between Obama and Leon Panetta (worked under Clinton admin, btw) after OBL's death hit the news.... If it was concidential- it sure was very well done! I remember at the time, I was basically "hmmm-humm" with the whole thing until the OBL incident transpired.

That just tells me how they disregard the issue.

Wonderful to hear these news.

So sad. We need to remember our brethren in other places of the world who are being persecuted and forced to stand strong in their faith against extreme opposition. The Gospel is indeed an "offense" to those who do not believe.
