Ha ha. I peeked in and thought I saw an ONT up by 8:30 Middle-of-America time.

But that can't be real.

The Mrs must've put more of just one shot of Amaretto over that ice cream.

Privately put them up at a 5star with a luxury budget under house arrest, pubicly claim they're in prison and claim you'll torture them until our guy is returned.

Really, just forget the deserter. Don't call it a swap. Call the crime what it is: the rogue terrorist President of the United States is releasing hardened terrorists to kill again. The five worse-than-Osamas are just the tip.

Traitorous to the USA. Inimical to civilization. Co-conspirator with our declared enemies. Enabler of terrorists. The President himself and every person who continues to support him are complicit in mass murder, even potentially instigating war.

The whole terrorist-supporing traitorous party of Democrats should be outlawed if they do not deny and denounce this tyrant and his ilk, but they have proven repeatedly without question that they are his ilk, so...

Having come full circle in my comments on this thread, I'm off to so-called real life for a while. Have a day!

Wife just managed to shut the screen before Little Gray got in with her catch of the day, a squeaking field mouse. No cartoon chaos inside this morning.

Last night, we heard a guy doing Arlo's "Stealin'." Guess I'm not the only other person to cover that.

wow

I just got caught up in last night's ONT theology jam. Took me back to the heady days of Religion Forum on CompuServe. Almost started to reply to some comment when I read someone say "off to bed" (who wasn't Australian) and remembered "when" I was.

"...what we're waiting for is... a change in the electorate." --S. Muldoon
"Obama could line women and children up in the street and have them shot...." --LoneStarHeeb

That's going to have too be one big change in the electorate, then, eh?

The real question is, since we now live under a Democratic Theocracy, subject to the whims of a rabble majority of True Believers, how do the minority of Constitutional Republicans best exercise "the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness"?

Better to pray that Gaylord gets a clue or resigns.

This brings to mind the old argument, can God make a rock bigger than he can lift? Because gets a clue or resigns ain't likely on the menu.

That's so sad and so wonderful all at once. Condolences, grammie, to you & the families.

>>We don't. --What someone thinks the Word says

Yeah? Did you tell that to the folks after Pearl Harbor?

Sorry, not to demean your possibly faith-strengthening intent, but the proffered ameliorations do not seem to me to answer the question. They eventually self-immolate so we only need wait patiently for that? Let me think... No. The robber in my house may ultimately end up in Hell, but he could kill my children now.

Trust absolutely, as if everything were in the hands of the Almighty, yes, indeedy.

Act, however, as if the Almighty had delegated full responsibility to you.

It's how I was raised. Eagerly expect the miracle, but don't sit around waiting for it. Something about all that's necessary is for good people to do nothing.

(which in turn I suppose depends on what the meaning of 'good' is ... ack! MOAR COFFEE ... LONG WALK BEFORE IT RAINS....)

The Sabbath, for Christians and fellow Sunday worshippers... on this holy day of the week, what thought drove me from my bed and to full wakefulness?

That traitor in the White House is not just the enemy of America. He is the enemy of civilization.

We really can't wait for tedious normal legal processes to remove this threat to human life from power, before he releases more of his mass-murdering terrorist pals. But who will act? Our Justice Dept? Congress? The military?

DEAR GOD, HOW DO WE STOP THIS MONSTER AND ALL HIS SUPPORTERS?

Morning, Glories. Guess I'll make coffee and start writing letters to congressmen. That'll change things!

"Disagree.

Fine, fine.

If you disagree with theological reasoning, it might be less stressful, though.

Whatever praise you may offer regarding the fidelity and friendship of our four-footed family members will get no argument from me. Likewise we would have to define terms like personality, soul, &c. It's complicated. We might be in more agreement than you infer.

However, at root, animals are not people. If you think otherwise, we would lack a basis for further discussion on this.

I trust we'll know the truth, ultimately, and I look forward to that.

Dear as our dearest pets are to us, they do not have personality nor develop souls as we do. They cannot know and love God as we may, nor aspire to a life of service to God and fellowkind.

Disagree.

Vehemently.

A two-fer for my too-long for to-day.

Whilst composing previous comment, Fuzzy Yellow Guy waltzes in the house with a field mouse. Drops it, of course. Poor thing was crawling in frantic circles, its back legs out of commission. Mercy would dictate I crush its little head, but I just tossed it and Fuzzy Yellow, back outside to play.

Just as I sit back down, I hear a pitiful squeaking. At first, I presumed the mouse was back, but, no, Little Gray brings a bunny. Looks like the bunny I let go yesterday. Except now, instead of hopping away, to paraphrase one of Edith Bunker's classic lines, he don't hop so good no more. Just like the mouse.

Again, mercy, plus economy, suggest I kill it, and prep it for parsing out at feeding times, but alas skinning &c. are outside my Manly Skills set, so I just tossed the carcass out for Nature to deal with.

But if one of them drags in a fawn, by Heaven, I'm-a call the neighbors who run a deer butchery for help.

Dear as our dearest pets are to us, they do not have personality nor develop souls as we do. They cannot know and love God as we may, nor aspire to a life of service to God and fellowkind. The pets who live in our heart may, however, be "reconstitutable" as recognizable patterns, however. Animal minds are easy compared to reconstituting an actual personality.

A mortal cannot survive death. The soul which is our means of escape happens because the mortal mind associates with the Spirit.

I suspect something of a similar nature may happen to higher mammals who have a lot of association with the gods we are to them, and so they may be found in the afterlife, because of us. Like bringing an object out of our "bag" in virtual games, the pets are within us, and on high they can become reality again.

But, philosophically, is that our actual pet or just an "amazing facsimile"? One might ask the same of human survivors! (And I'm pretty sure Lucifer did ask that one.) Is it really Fido or is it Memorex? On high, the distinction becomes irrelevant.

But, cats in heaven won't kill bunnies.

Oddly, I've been perfectly clear about Benghazi since that night.

I also know what difference it makes.

Just checked the archives under Benghazi for my own earliest. hmmm

The whole Benghazi thing was an attempt to "do Carter right" by staging a hostage situation and TFG got shafted, someone says. I think that's the message here. Sad how likely this sounds, isn't it!

And the scandalous video nobody ever saw was part of a conspiracy of Islaminazis. To, you know, show how despicable the West is and enrage rageboys, I guess.

Then there's the "'large number' of shoulder-fired, heat-seeking missiles and "2,000 semiautomatic rifles and ammunition" missing in Libya.
The War News Updates guy remarks, "ominous."

"The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living."

Will had the "I'm owed" attitude pegged, only now they dont even want the job, just give with the money.

But it's not education per se, of course. "It's that so much of what they do know is wrong." (RR)

I'm caught up to 8:24 anyway.

Apparently, the traitor is still in chief. Hmm. You'd think releasing five of the worst enemies of civilization this side of George Soros would stir some reaction.

Has Boener not discovered the mighty power of #hashtags?

Seriously, impeachment takes too long. This administration presents a clear and present danger to us all.

I know! Sheriff Joe can have him arrested.

I'm making the ha-ha's but I'm not laughing.

THE ENEMY IS OBAMA and all his carneyval of cohorts.
