Who said this country isn't going to hell in a hand basket? We are already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest man Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 because despite what this nation claims, it is NOT a godly nation. The last presidential election proved that. Mccain was god's coice, was he? If McCain was God's choice, he'd be sitting in the Oval Office. Hitler was God's choice? By your logic, he must have been. In theology, there is the "perfect" and the "permissive" will of God. Because God permits something, does not mean that was His ideal plan. What are the consequenses of Hitlers actions? Israel became a nation in 1948. You don't think God had a hand in that?

Was every wicked king over Israel and over Judah "God's choice"? (Think about that one before answering) Was Jezebel God's choice? (Co-rulers are as much leaders as the big cheese.) Now apply this to Pelosi and Boxer and the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's what the people wanted. Like today's politicians the world over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is NOT a national holiday - it is a month of recognition. U.S. law provides for the declaration of selected public observances by the President of the United States as designated by Congress or by the discretion of the President. Generally the President will provide a statement about the purpose and significance of the observance, and call on the people of the United States to observe the day "with appropriate ceremonies and activities". These events are typically to honor or commorate a public issue or social cause, ethnic group, historic event or noted individual. However, (with several exceptions) there is no requirement that government or business close on these days, and many members of the general public may not be aware that such holidays even exist. Former sitting POTUS have also declared for recognition the following: * American Heart Month (February) * Black History Month (February) * American Red Cross Month (March) * Women's History Month (March) * Irish-American Heritage Month (March) * Cancer Control Month (April) * National Donate Life Month (April) * Prevent Child Abuse Month (April) * Older Americans Month (May) * Jewish American Heritage Month (May) [9] * Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (May) [10] * Mental Health Awareness Month (May) * Gay and Lesbian Pride Month (June) * Caribbean-American Heritage Month (June) [1], [2], [3] * Great Outdoors Month (June) * Black Music Month (June) * National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (September) * National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month (September) * National Preparedness Month (September) * National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) [11] * National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) * National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) * National Disability Employment Awareness Month (October) * National Hospice Month (November) * National Adoption Month (November) * National Family Caregivers Month (November) * National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month (November) * National Diabetes Month (November) * National American Indian Heritage Month (November) * National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month (December) No one is required to observe any of these days or holidays or federal holidays if you do not wish to. If a President wants to make an observance of Pancake Spatula Awareness month - it can be done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
