Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[SwedishMeatball]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but pls look at Chicago Sun Times article about Eric Holder. I would post link, but only have computer for a minute. Appears he forgot to mention his ties w/ Blago/Rezko in his AG application. Hmmm...

Actually its quite the opposite in my opinion. In our youth we often turn up our noses at the conventional wisdom our parents tried to give us, then we grow up and suddenly those things become much more important to us.

I'll also add that many of the posters on the dis are a breed of democrats/liberals that aren't a one size fits all. I know just as many Christians who may espouse the politics of some of our not so favorite disers, but not the rest of their beliefs. Not even close. Which is a good thing in my opinion.

I feel sad because to them, we are just as offensive and sad as they are to us.

That's certainly true in my case. I was a BAD kid. My parents are good Christians, raised my sister and I in the church, paid xtra for Christian schools-the whole thing. I started rebelling at 12-smoking, drinking, cutting school...you name it. They forced me to go to a Christian camp at 14-and I was ANGRY about it. Snuck smokes and booze up there with me and I was the meanest person there. Over time though, God wore me down and I grew up enough to realize that the things I were doing were causing me harm and causing hurt to my parents. When I accepted Christ I became adult enough to know that discipline = Love and that being selfish and doing whatever I wanted was only going to lead me into trouble.

Sitting on top of the world-- by Garrison Keillor

Be happy, dear hearts, and allow yourselves a few more weeks of quiet exultation.

It isn't gloating, it's satisfaction at a job well done. He was a superb candidate, serious, professorial but with a flashing grin and a buoyancy that comes from working out in the gym every morning.

He spoke in a genuine voice, not senatorial at all. He relished campaigning. He accepted adulation gracefully. He brandished his sword against his opponents without mocking or belittling them. He was elegant, unaffected, utterly American, and now (Wow) suddenly America is cool.

We threw the dice and we won the jackpot and elected a black guy with a Harvard degree, the middle name Hussein and a sense of humor - he said, "I've got relatives who look like Bernie Mac, and I've got relatives who look like Margaret Thatcher."

The French junior minister for human rights said, "On this morning, we all want to be American so we can take a bite of this dream unfolding before our eyes." When was the last time you heard someone from France say they wanted to be American and take a bite of something of ours? Ponder that for a moment.

The world expects us to elect pompous yahoos and instead we have us a 47-year-old prince from the prairie who cheerfully ran the race, and when his opponents threw sand at him, he just smiled back.

He'll be the first president in history to look really good making a jump shot. He loves his classy wife and his sweet little daughters. He looks good in the kitchen. He can cook Indian or Chinese but for his girls he will do mac and cheese. At the same time, he knows pop music, American lit and constitutional law.

I just can't imagine anybody cooler. Look at a photo of the latest pooh-bah conference - the hausfrau Merkel, the big glum Scotsman, that goofball Berlusconi, Putin with his B-movie bad-boy scowl, and Sarkozy, who looks like a district manager for Avis - you put Barack in that bunch and he will shine.

It feels good to be cool and all of us can share in that, even sour old right-wingers and embittered blottoheads. Next time you fly to Heathrow and hand your passport to the man with the badge, he's going to see "United States of America" and look up and grin.

Even if you worship in the church of Fox, everyone you meet overseas is going to ask you about Obama and you may as well say you voted for him because, my friends, he is your line of credit over there.

No need anymore to try to look Canadian.

I've respected the boundaries of the Liberal thread because I thought that both sides needed a place to be among friends. I thought that was the polite thing to do.

 

[wonderlanne]

What I find interesting is that some of the people who are anti-religion claim that it is the pious Christian attitude which turns them off, yet they are guilty of their own superior expression of a different set of views.

i agree.

You mean gloating isn't polite?

[mrsdon]

Yet another problem is just how fond I am of my con thread buds. And blestmom [Debbie #3], mrsdon [Debbie #4], and Soarin and now you will be at WDW the same time I will be. I probably won't get to bug Soarin and Mrsdon as much as I'd like, being that they will be working but blestmom and her kids better watch out! You'll be able to spot them pretty easily - they'll be the ones who are hiding behind anything they can find to avoid me and I'll be the one yelling, 'DDDDEEEEEEBBBBBBIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE, where are you? Don't you want to go on Expedition Everest again? You're not avoiding me, are you?!?!?!?'

And, now, I'll know to look for the single rider 40something at the Haunted Mansion - ZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPP, is that you?!?!?!?!?!?!?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
Debbie and Debbie and Soarn'
I am so excited to be meeting you
I work until 130 3 days a week, so all I need is a change of clothes.
Im also off on Sat/Sun
I'll PM my cell also

My Mom sent me this in an email.

A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.

When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.

He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?' And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

This is my mom's favorite joke ever! She shares it with everyone she can think of at Christmastime! Gotta love her!

What I find interesting is that some of the people who are anti-religion claim that it is the pious Christian attitude which turns them off, yet they are guilty of their own superior expression of a different set of views.

There is perhaps nothing more wretched or pathetic than oblivious sanctimony, and the anti-Christian leftists have made it an art form.

Obama should have known about his ties with these people....since they're the same "friends" that he has.....but I guess since he didn't know what kind of people he was associating with all this time, he might not realize how many other people can't see the forest for the trees in Chicago politics. Simply pathetic.
