Reminds me of the law firm: Dewey, Cheatham, & Howe

It's not required in Georgia either. Sometimes, notifying an officer who has pulled you over that you are carrying can add a bit of unintended stress to the stop. Not that it should, but human nature being what it is can cause someone to jump to the worst immediate conclusion and a simple statement can be interpreted as a threat.

I reckon I am now officially old. I'm drooling over that Chris-Craft boat more than the skiers at the moment.

Once more we are reminded that there is simply no good reason to ever leave your home unarmed.

If you keep separate bank accounts as a married couple, you've got some serious issues at the root. Never marry someone with whom you would not share a bank account or who would not share an account with you. That's a trust issue (or lack thereof) that will wreck what is supposed to be the deepest, most sincere, and most sacred relationship on this earth.

Dropping the F-bomb is coarse, vulgar, and profane. It's a sign of a weak mind with a limited vocabulary trying to express itself. However, it is a far cry from blatant promotion of deviant sexual behavior for simple shock value in order to gain attention for a message that lacks the credentials to stand on its own merit.

The dildo chuckers need to be beaten until they are bruised and on the verge of unconsciousness with the objects they seem to adore so greatly.

Apparently there's a lot of sympathy from Protestants to support Israel and their ambitions...

The term Christian zionist makes absolutely no sense to us.

You're not wrong. I am neither Catholic nor protestant - simply Christian - no more no less.

There are many in the denominational world (Protestants) who have the misguided belief that Jews whose physical ancestry ties them to historical Israel have a special dispensation that is different from that of Christians of a gentile heritage. This is not taught anywhere in scripture. It is completely made up and supported by some serious twisting of the scriptures.

In Romans 1 where Paul states that salvation is brought first to the Jews and then to the Greek, he isn't saying that there are two different rules, or that the Jews may continue under Mosaic law. He is stating that salvation was brought first to the Jews on that day of Pentecost when the church was established in Jerusalem, and from there it spread to the Greek (or Gentile) world. Of particular note are the records of the Ethiopian eunuch being taught by Philip and of the Roman centurion, Cornelius, to whom Peter was sent.

There is but one church, the one established on the day of Pentecost. The body of whom Christ is the head. The bride of Christ. And Jesus stated very clearly in John 14:6 "No man comes to the Father except by me."

Jews who follow Mosaic law and deny that Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, and the propitiation for our sins have no hope of salvation. Those who claim to be Christians and state that the Jews have a different legitimate path to God do not speak the truth and are not acting in a very Christian-like manner when they allow those who are lost to believe that everything is just hunky-dory. So yeah, you're absolutely correct that the idea of a "Christian Zionist" makes no sense.

When American males turn 18 they would be automatically registered for the draft rather than having to be sure that they didn't omit doing something required by law when they are probably graduating high school and entering college, the work force, or both. It is less worrisome than the "Motor-Voter" laws that many states have that automatically registers new drivers of the age of 18 and over to vote.

I have no issue with this automatic draft registration at all.

What about it, exactly, that causes you concern?

Any notions of peace in the middle east are just pure delusions at this point.

The only time there is any semblance of rest from war and aggression over there is when everyone is held in check by desert sheiks and tribal warlords instead of any attempt at a Western style of government. The region still has the mentality of camel-riding goat herders that have hit the lottery and have no idea how to spend the money on real improvements.

There will never be peace in that region of the world. It's built on turmoil like a dysfunctional family at Thanksgiving dinner. Hopefully, once we get done with our involvement in the latest episode of violence over there we can take a step back and re-assess what our national policy should be going forward in regard to the region.
