  Debunking the Reagan Myth

  debunking the reagan mythby paul krugmanpublished: january 21, 2008historical narratives matter.

  thats why conservatives are still writing books denouncing f.d.r.

  and the new deal; they understand that the way americans perceive bygone eras, even eras from the seemingly distant past, affects politics today.. and its also why the furor over barack obamas praise for ronald reagan is not, as some think, overblown.

  Suffering from right wing ideology?

  Then talk to your doctor about PeopleMeds™ - The #1 prescribed anticonservative.
  If you have symptoms of conservatism, PeopleMeds™ is proven to provide powerful relief of a wide range of symptoms including ideas of lower tax rates spurring the economy, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, rights of the individual, private property rights, aggressive approach to GWOT, life is scared, and free markets.

  Tired of medications making you thick-headed?
  Many other anticonservative medicines come with warnings that they may cause mind numbness, so patients taking them should be cautious when talking politics, writing legislation, or operating machinery. PeopleMeds™ doesn't have this precaution because it is non sedating, so it won't make you feel mentally handicapped.

  Did/Does God really love people?

  by buffalosrfree in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  at john 3:16 god says he loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believed in him will have everlasting life.

  yet in revelation satan and the demons were kicked out of heaven and hurled to the earth.

  how is that loving, what could possibly be the reason he would do that if he really loved us.

  Satan and his devils being thrown out of heaven is described in one of John's visions in Revelation 12. The importance of this particular vision is to describe the conflict between Satan (evil) and the promise of a Jewish Messiah sent to deliver mankind from sin (good). Therein lies God's love in that there is a plan to do away with Satan FOREVER. Revelation 12:12 remarks that "Satan is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."

  God must certainly love us becasue be provied a way to bridge the relationship that was destroyed by sin, between Him and those that love Him. We are not left "on our own".

  The two scriptures and events that you use to determine that God does not love mankind (Revelation 12 and John 3:16) are connected, but in no way demonstrate a lack of love.

  A German's View on Islam

  dr. emanual tanay is a well known and well respected psychiastrist who has written the following which i think merits wide circulation.

  when asked how many german people were true nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

  'very few people were true nazis 'he said,' but many enjoyed the return of german pride, and many more were too busy to care.

  Preventing the “systematic slaughter” of “Christian or tribal groups” will require more than “speaking up”, those slaughters mentioned were stopped by people who were willing to take action. As with today, this was done in the face of opposition to their action.

  Dr. Tanay stopped, imo, before reaching the logical conclusion.

  The Army says they're not sure how this happened, but the bonuses will not be expected to be repaid.

  just a few questions.

  if some of you base your moral standards on the bible, how do you know what is right and wrong?

  i ask because the morals in the bible change a lot.

  Void -- I agree with you, and know and am friends with the kind of atheists that you describe. The subject though, being morals, supposes that Judeo-Christian morals in particular should be cast off in favor of "the light of humanistic morality". (this can be clearly seen in the article posted by Nvr) This "light of humanistic morality" has been tried, and it went down as a total failure, the French Revolution.

  The successes, which produce social order that makes prosperity possible for the greatest number of people, have been the gov'ts founded on Judeo-Christian principles of morality.

  John Adams was responding to a popular book of his time that touted the "light of humanistic morality".

  In truth, what awaits beyond this imposing black slab is the light of humanistic morality - a future where the equality of all people is recognized and the senseless bloodshed over race, religion, and country will stop

  What awaits...this has been seen before nvr. Read about the French Revolution.

  I agree with John Adams who wrote of "the light of humanistic morality", "...you and yours, have become the dupes of your own atheism and profligacy, your nonsensical notions of liberty, equality, and fraternity....Your philosophy, has waged a more cruel war on truth than was ever attempted by king or priest...There is no such thing [as morality] without the supposition of a God."

  Not my thread, emy.

  It's always a pleasure to see you.

  Sorry nvr, just wanted to hear what you think after reading the article you posted. Would we all be 'free' if biblical morality was cast aside, as full of "contradictions" as it is?

  This question has raged for a long time, I wanted to hear your thoughts.

  Even the one, uber-strict, head-slapping "pay attention Johnny" family was letting their kids zone out. Get this. They had their huge stack of magazines sitting on the floor that they had obtained prior to the meeting. Uber Dad goes "psst" to his kid who was sitting next to the pile of mags. He motions for the kid to hand him the latest Awake! so he doesn't have to listen to the monotone drivel anymore.
