Baptized in the Water(slide) of Christ

Rethinking the civil war, and thinking of telling Kentucky to GTFO... btw didn't jesus throw a shit fit when people were selling things outside the temple? i wonder what he would have said about this. maybe "you can't sell goats in god's name, but water slides are the shit so i'll allow it" ?

Very interesting articles... some good to be taken from them

And one extra:

A very, very heartfelt piece. This is on the mark.

And another, to illustrate how sad this is:

Get ready for some serious stream of thought...

Yep. I believe you Republicans. Obama is bad for business. Real bad. The fucking worst. He HATES business. He is a socialisthitlersecretkenyanmuslim and all those scary dark skinned things that threaten your southern bell daughter and democracy and NASCAR. Wait, you know what. He isn't. The left isn't out to steal your well earned money, because you didn't well earn it, and they understand that people need health care. Business under a Democratic president has turned the worst baking system collapses into profit in a blink of an eye. The avarice of your most ardent supporters, the banking industry, has disgusted the American population. This group's lack of moral understanding has been a shame to America for decades, they made money in the banking collapse, and yet asked to be saved, which of course you supported. You wage war on the middle and lower class through the dismemberment of social programs in the name of 'defense' and 'business', because the burden that society demands on them is just too much for them to bear. Even though 'society' is mothers and children, education and health care. When these people stand up for themselves you call them bad for business. You call them anti-American. I'm not buying that argument anymore. It is a lie. You know it, I know it. Let's be honest. You use this rhetoric to protect white, established citizens in this country, because, as you know, they are a well organized, motivated, and funded constituency. Yet this is a shrinking portion of the population. You widen the gap between rich and poor. You call American citizens un-American. You call socially conscious people "anti-business". You believe in the market because you have control over the marketplace. You refuse act as a Christian, in a country that you continually assert is founded on Christian values. Yes, I agree the Democrats are bad. They wrongfully believe that government programs are sometimes the best solution to some problems. But the way you go about doing battle is insanity. You give conservatism a bad name. A real bad name. One that I doubt I can associate with.

The deeper one explores into the self, without any transcendental frame of reference, the clearer it becomes that nothing it there. If nothingness is the ultimate reality, those somethings called books, or poems, or paintings or music are mere evasions of truth rather than expressions of it.

Russ Feingold was EXACTLY what the founding fathers had in mind when they gave the vote to the American People. And, surprisingly, just as they foresaw, we are not nearly worthy enough to determine what a good elector looks like. A man of principle, a man who stood up for American Liberty, a man who understood the grand responsibility of office. Washington D.C. is less one honest man, and is much poorer for it.
