I am teaching the teen bible study at our church again after a four year break. I am excited about it. There are less kids in this study, but it appears that there are more leaders, and God knows that the next generation needs leadership. After all, they are not going to get it from those that we elect.

God's Global Warming sense of humor
.....................
GLOBAL WARMING PROTEST FROSTED WITH SNOW
from:
It snowed, but they still came. A heavy snowfall blanketed a global warming protest outside the State House in Annapolis this morning, but it did not dampen the shouts of about 400 activists who urged lawmakers to pass the nation's toughest greenhouse gas control law.
As supporters waved signs, chanted and banged drums, 18 legislators walked down a symbolic green carpet to sign up as co-sporsors to a bill that would mandate that all businesses in Maryland cut emissions of global warming pollution by 25 percent by 2020 and 90 percent by 2050.
"We are going to pass this bill this year," said State Sen. Paul Pinsky, a Democrat from Prince
George's County and chairman of the senate's environmental matters subcommittee. "We are
not going to rest, we are not going to stop....We are going to keep going until we pass this
bill."

"So when this woman, this really kind woman, said to me, 'Well, how are you doing?' it was so touching to me," she said. "I'm so other-oriented. You know I'm not good about talking about myself. I don't get up and think about how I'm going to present myself. I think about, 'What am I going to do today to actually make a difference in someone's life?'"

Billary Clinton
we had Brangelina...
Why haven't we had "Billary" Clinton yet?
Fair is fair.
We can only hope.
Oh, she may leave the trail, but like Bill Murry in "What About Bob?", she will never truly leave. The Clinton enterprise will be a mainstay in America for years to come. Like a festering boil, the Clinton's will always be behind the scenes, just waiting for another opportunity to rear their ugly heads, and stink things up on the political scene.
Hillary Clinton is very unlikeable - she is used to people not liking her, and she isn't phased by it.
I doubt she will leave the race, but that is the talk on the "trail".

TALK OF HILLARY EXIT ENGULFS CAMPAIGNS
Mon Jan 07 2008 09:46:28 ET
Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!
"She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."
MORE
Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state. But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

This is a joke, right?
This is the year of the death of the Reagan Conservative - at least in the greater public arena, and our country can't afford it.
What just happened in Iowa is this; the American people were given a bowl of rotten fruit, and asked which one they liked better, the rotten peach or the rotten apple. The truth is, we don't like any of them.
They all stink in their own particular way.

What thinking people are saying about Ron Paul
.................................................
I do not laugh at Ron Paul as loudly as you do.
The fact that the absurdities he espouses have resonance with a sizable group of illogical people from both ends of the political spectrum is troubling in itself, as it shows the level to which political discussion has been degraded. Overt Nazis, such as Stormfront, will always marginalize themselves. But normal-seeming people who have completely lost the ability to distinguish between fact and opinion, and who--worse--believe that their opinion trumps fact, like the Truthers, are extremely dangerous. People who believe nothing will believe anything--for example, will believe that it is possible to cure America's ills by "going back" to a mythical Constitutional Golden Age, as defined by a single drab little man.
The energy with which Paul supporters engage in the filthiest of political dirty tricks--disruptions, poll-spamming, fake websites--and the acceptance of these things by their supposedly righteous and upstanding candidate as he attempts to maintain his deniability, are an unmitigated ugliness stalking the land. That this ugliness has not been expunged from the Republican Party, and that it blends seamlessly into the leftist dementia which characterizes the extreme wing of the Democrats and which determines the agenda of the "mainstream" Democrats, is also cause for concern.
Ron Paul the man is little more than a nothing, but so was a failed Austrian painter once upon a time. The failed Austrian painter learned how to focus and crystallize the anger, envy and hatred of enough people to be able to seize power with the help of a gang of unscrupulous thugs, some of whom were very savvy in the media of his day--and he plunged the world into darkness.
Ron Paul has shown himself adept at focusing and crystallizing the anger, envy and hatred of many people. He has a gang of unscrupulous thugs backing him, some of whom are very savvy in the media of our day. He has not yet, fortunately, been able to reach enough people to be able to gain the power he seeks, and I pray that he never will.
But he is not a joke.
Somebody got it right.
Is it just me, or does it seem like the American Left owe this man an apology?

IN MOST YEARS, SEVERAL PEOPLE COULD REASONABLY BE SELECTED FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE’S MAN OF THE YEAR. This year, one candidate distinguished himself beyond all others: General David Howell Petraeus. In commanding the U.S. Surge in Iraq, Petraeus has not merely arrested an explosive and deteriorating security situation but has reversed terrorist initiatives, driving al-Qaeda out of a province it once governed and denying it the ability to reconstitute a Salafist safe haven. No one has more significantly advanced the welfare of the United States and the cause of freedom in 2007 as Gen. Petraeus, and none has been as harassed as a result – not merely harassed unduly but harassed precisely because he aided liberty’s cause in a time when so many seek to benefit politically from its diminution. In his selection, FrontPage Magazine maintains its tradition – expressed by honoring Col. Allen B. West, John O’Neill, and Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean in years past – of especially praising those who have been maligned, derided, and belittled (or worse) for merely doing their duty.Read it all here.

Via Freedom.
a Hispanic gang that recently defaced the Vietnam War Memorial. Notice that it says, "Kill whites".
Is there any more reasons to kick out illegals?
The very freedom that allowed these scum-bags to go to the local Wal-Mart and buy the spray paint they used to do this with was paid for by the men honored by the wall they defaced.
We aren't going to remedy this by electing any of the people who are running for office in '08. Each one of the candidates is weak on "immigration reform", with the exception of Fred Thompson, and the media won't run a single story on any of his five daily stops.
Thanks Worldnetdaily, for being the only big news source with the sense to cover this............................................................
"Kill whites MS 13" were among the threatening words spray-painted on the Vietnam War Memorial at Long Wharf, Conn., reported WTNH-TV in New Haven.
"This irks me. This hurts me deep to my heart," Vietnam Army veteran Emery Linton Sr. told the station.
Linton, who served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1972, noted he lost friends there and called the mess on the memorial a slap in the face to veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
"People here respect these names. They gave their lives for everything, for the freedoms they have," Linton said.
Police are investigating whether the vandalism is the work of the violent MS-13 gang.

"You were my wife"
A very close friend of one of my friends, recently went to a wedding in
Before the ceremony, both families were on the stage or bima. The parents of the bride and groom had previously met, but the grandparents who were all alive and in their 80's had never met before the wedding. The grandfather of the bride kept looking and looking at the grandmother of groom. He finally said to her, "You were my wife." There was dead silence and he repeated, "You were my wife."
After talking to each other, they confirmed that they had indeed been married when they were very young. They'd had no children and were taken to the concentration camps where they were separated. Both looked for each other after the war ended but not finding each other, each one presumed the other dead. Since most of their relatives were wiped out, they had no one to check with and records were almost non-existent.
Fast forward sixty years plus - Both had moved to the

Everything causes global warming
I heard about this on Rush Limbaugh, and found it this week in the Patriot Post newsletter.
Everything is Caused by Global Warming (600+ links)
Christopher Alleva
November 29, 2007
Dr. John Brignell, a British engineering professor, runs a website called numberwatch. He has compiled what has to be the most complete collection of links to media stories ascribing the cause of everything under the sun to global warming. He has already posted more than six-hundred links.
The site's stated mission is to expose all the "scares, scams, junk, panics and flummery cooked up by the media, politicians, bureaucrats and so-called scientists and others that try to confuse the public with wrong numbers" Professor Brignell's motto is "Working to Combat Math Hysteria."
This exercise is not merely a lark to show the abject absurdity of this global warming nonsense. Brignell wrote a great book titled Sorry Wrong Number, The Abuse of Measurement on this very subject.
Dr. Brignell is accepting additions to the list so if you have any send them along.
