What are your favorite Bible passages?
by BurnTheShips ini'll excerpt this bit from 1 samuel 7. always has given me goosebumps.
32 david said to saul, "let no one lose heart on account of this philistine; your servant will go and fight him.".
33 saul replied, "you are not able to go out against this philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has been a fighting man from his youth.".

Health Care Reform Bill Passes - Now What?
Repeel!
There will be a lot written today about Missouri voters’ overwhelming approval of Proposition C, a repudiation of Obamacare’s individual mandate. But the results may be even more devastating for the Democrats than initially thought.
According to preliminary results, just under 668,000 Missourians voted in favor of Proposition C. Only 578,000 Republicans voted in their party’s primaries. Another 40,000 voters appear to have cast votes on Proposition C without voting in either the Republican or Democratic primaries. So, even if you assume that every single Republican voted for the initiative and every person who didn’t vote in a primary voted for it, at least 40,000 Democrats — more than one in every eight Democratic primary voters — voted against the centerpiece of President Obama’s health-care plan. And these aren’t just any registered Democrats; these are the party activists, the Democratic base.
Do we need any more evidence of how unpopular this bill is?
The Left continues to believe that the more Americans learn about the legislation, and the further away we get from its controversial enactment, the more public support will grow. I doubt it. In the past few weeks alone, voters in many states have been hearing about plans for significant premium increases for 2011 by both private insurers and state employee health plans. In every case, insurance officials have cited Obamacare as the chief cause of rising costs. In Arizona, for example, state officials project that state employees will see their health care costs rise by as much as a third next year, due largely to the implementation of the initial stages of Obamacare. And in Kentucky, hospital officials project that the Medicaid expansion at the heart of Obamacare will cost the state’s hospitals more than a $1 billion over the next decade.While in a few cases these might be exaggerations or self-serving claims, for the most part the explanation is valid — and voters will tend to believe it.

By February 2006, businessman and political fixer Tony Rezko was already politically radioactive, caught up in a federal investigation that would see him criminally charged by the end of that year.
News reports had linked Rezko, a key adviser and campaign fund-raiser for then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, to shady deals involving state pension funds -- among the crimes that ultimately would send him to prison.
This was the Tony Rezko who, looking for millions of dollars for a massive South Loop development, turned to Broadway Bank, owned by the family of Alexi Giannoulias. Giannoulias, the Democrat now running for U.S. Senate, had left his post as a senior loan officer at the Chicago bank in late 2005 to mount a successful campaign for Illinois state treasurer, though he still held an ownership stake in the bank.
Rezko's company asked. And Broadway Bank came through.
On Feb. 14, 2006, newly obtained records show, the bank made a $22.75 million loan to a company called Riverside District Development LLC, whose owners, it turns out, included Rezko.
Later this week, Obama will host a fundraiser for Giannoulias in Chicago.

For Perry: There was no global flood, so stop looking for Noah's Ark
by BurnTheShips inforget about noahs ark; there was no worldwide flood.
many people have contacted me about the recent claims by a group called noahs ark ministries international.1 the evangelical organization claims to have discovered noahs ark.2 i have responded on several occasions to these dubious claims on my blog.3 and still, this group has stood behind their claim,4 insisting that what they have found is real based largely on the belief that because the bible says the flood and the ark are historical, it must be so.
so, instead of addressing their spurious claims yet again, i thought i would approach the issue from a different angle: forget about noahs ark; there was no world-wide flood.. the worldwide flood described in genesis 6-9 is not historical, but rather a combination of at least two flood stories, both of which descended from earlier mesopotamian flood narratives.

Actually this "plunging approval rate" meme has been addressed several times recently and none of you who start these threads bother to respond to the fact that Obama's ratings are the same as Reagan's were at the same time in his presidency.
Obama STARTED at 70 points on his first day in office. Reagan started at 50. Regan lost maybe 8 percent from hist starting approval by this point in his presdency. Obama has lost 25 percent. If Reagan had lost that much he would have hit 25 percent approval. Obama has fallen much farther faster.
