It just took some deeper thinking to realize this is really a better stance.

No pro-life people are aborting their kids... just the libs and undesirables.

This reasoning is perplexing.
Presumably you were pro-life because abortion is an issue of justice and morality concerning the industrialized murder of innocent infants.

You seem to be personally pro-life but now wholeheartedly support abortion for others for utilitarian reasons and social engineering?

Put another way-you’d never have an abortion yourself but the unborn children of “libs and undesirables” are fair game for the abortion abattoirs to hasten the attrition of those undesirables.

This slaughter of innocents is not only acceptable to you now, but desirable as well?

Coming from you that’s hard to believe.

It seems more frustration and anger at the current successes of the enemy talking rather than deep thought.

If we go down that road the enemy wins. We will have become little better than them. Molech and his undesirables don’t care if we’re pro-life conservatives or not. They just want our votes. Absent our active support of abortion, our silence will do.

I pray you rethink the matter. Stand fast.

The poet’s words seem appropriate-
quote:


Things fall apart;
the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,
and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

you gotta say something like "Douglas MacArthur was the greatest general America ever produced"

Something like that could have really ginned up the discussions

Vis a vis MacArthur. I believe he and his Dad are the only father/son MOH awardees.
quote:

before the civil rights act in 1964 2/3's of black children grew up in an intact 2 parent married household today it's 1/4 is that because of slavery?

You’re right.
FEIW
That’ was only one of a number of telling progressively positive statistics highlighting the stability, productivity, and health of black families in the pre-civil rights act era.

Lyndon Johnson and his crew introduced a more effective and more insidious slavery destroying black families by intentionally and cynically detaching black fathers from their responsibilities and replacing them with the state.


AT&T.
Nothing is comparable or even a close second.
Their logo doesn’t look like The Death Star by accident.
Not me. I question what goes to marketing and into the wallets of upper management. I suspect more than to freezing, starving aged Jewish survivors of the camps huddled in hovels in Beersheba or Nazareth.

Pretty decent 70’s Jesus People tune though.

“When the One who left us here
Returns for us again…”

Maranatha!
Should be no conflict or tensions here.
These are warnings.
Family is always first and you’re making decent money now with potential for a lucrative business of one’s own.

Life is being good to you.

Stand Fast.

It’s Always been the radical left. But even the radical left of that time look like nuns compared to today’s version.

Pathogenic viruses mutate. In this case they became virulent and more deadly but unbelievably stupid. They’re willing to eradicate the host and die with it. This is, as R. Lee Ermey put it, “ a deep shite situation”.

Technically correct words that you find annoying.
That’s the question at hand.

There are none.

Why quibble though?

If I to pick one I’d go with anxious or anxiety.

Or pedantic.

Condominium HOA celebration at 11:00 then to son’s home to hang out and watch Jaws and The Great Escape for burgers, hotdogs, ribs, baked beans and…





Happy Independence Day!

Blues with Rusty Young’s peddle steel played through a Leslie speaker sounding a lot like Jimmy Smith’s Hammond B3.

but I think Tommy Lee Jones beating out Fiennes is a far more egregious error.

I had completely forgotten that. I agree.
quote:

He was overly aggressive at Gettysburg, but it was probably his last chance.

Good summary. He was probably struggling and worn out with heart issues, was genuinely committed to “the enemy is there, we are going to destroy them there now” and had succumbed to personal hubris that he hid behind the notion of God’s “Providence.”

Longstreet was probably right. Pick good ground interposed between Meade and Washington/Baltimore and the Federal armies would have dashed themselves to pieces trying to destroy Lee’s army. A second Fredericksburg. As it was while Pickett’s men were being blasted with massed rifles and artillery rounds and grapeshot, the Federals yelled Fredericksburg! Fredericksburg! Fredericksburg!

All because Lee didn’t take Pete’s counsel to heart.

He’s an Anglican minister and we are reformed Baptist so there’s some weird little theological things we have quirks about

We’re Anglican and I find myself constantly defending that by saying “not those Anglicans” that ordain women, lesbians, homosexual men, and have abandoned anything resembling orthodox Christianity. Technically we are The Reformed Episcopal Church with emphasis on Reformed. My Evangelical friends say we’re Baptists with a Prayer Book.:Casty:
My pastor started out Baptist preaching when he was 16, went to Southern Baptist Seminary in New Orleans, pastored in that denomination for years and jumped ship and became a hard core Presbyterian, and for the last 24 years has been a faithful Anglican priest.

All that to say I believe I have a fair sense of some of what “quirks” entails.:Lol:
Mrs M and I met there in a French class overlooking Lake Pontchartrain and a couple of Quonset huts, one of which, at the time,?was the Fine Arts studio.

We were in the first “UNO” graduation class.

It was LSUNO when I first enrolled having to carry computer punch cards from department to department to get classes before they filled up.

They subsequently moved to folding tables in the Chamber of Horrors. Not fun, but better than running form building to building in August heat.
Congratulations on 58 years with 60 just around the corner. Mrs M and I bow before marriage royalty.

Good Sons and Daughters-in-laws,

Honestly this was a huge concern for us and we’ve been richly blessed. All our kids married the kind of spouses we prayed they’d find.
Beautiful wife of 47 years. Good sons and daughter. Nine grandchildren. God’s been good to me.
