Evidence for God from Science

But how could anyone who already knew what Obama was all about ever be surprised at him going after the nation's guns? He never fails to exploit a crisis or tragedy. But so few voters appear to be critical thinkers, that they just keep drinking whatever cool-aid he's selling.

It is disheartening to watch your nation go downhill. Two years ago, I bought a bank-repo US-registered motorhome sight-unseen over the internet because the price was so ridiculously low. Last evening, my wife showed me a bank-repo Florida trailer-park home - completely furnished and landscaped - for the fire-sale price of $35K. ''If you want it, we'll buy it'' I told her.

FL, here's a picture of the trailer park home you had me look at for you. You better buy it quickly.
Good landscaped homes at that price are rare. Take special note of the beautiful landscsaping and the rare Florida mountain views. Here's the little gem:

Hummm...I've been to Florida many times but I've yet to see a mountain there... you are one GREAT realtor! You are amazing! Now...if I can only get my wife to say yes to my Rolls Royce fantasy, we could have that spectacular Florida mountainview trailer home with a swanky ride parked outside!

That's Klass!

In the American Articles of Confederation, * article 11 reads as follows:

Canada, acceding to this Confederation, and joining in the measures of the United States, shall be admitted into and entitled to all the advantages of this Union; but no other colony shall be admitted into the same, unless such admission be agreed to by nine States.

So, Canada could have become part of the USA had she chosen to. Too bad Canada declined: I would love to give you guys Toronto.

Anyway, there is still no serious answer to my question,

Terrorism Center at West Point Warns Against Danger of American Limited-Government Activists and ‘Far Right’
Blaze Article

The West Point professor said anti-federalists “espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights. Finally, they support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government...

According to the Washington Times, the report also draws correlation between mainstream conservatism and what it dubs the violent “far right.” The study then goes on to laud liberals as forward-thinking while maintaining that conservatives harbor a more archaic mindset.

“While liberal worldviews are future- or progressive -oriented, conservative perspectives are more past-oriented, and in general, are interested in preserving the status quo,” the report states.

“The far right represents a more extreme version of conservatism, as its political vision is usually justified by the aspiration to restore or preserve values and practices that are part of the idealized historical heritage of the nation or ethnic community.”

Citing a reported 350 “attacks initiated by far-right groups/individuals” in 2011, the analysis characterizes the liberal-democratic system as inclusive and “designed to emphasize civil rights” while far-right ideology inherently “excludes” minorities.

Perlinger’s study, however, has not gone without meeting a degree of criticism. Speaking to the Times, a Republican congressional staffer slammed: “If [the Defense Department] is looking for places to cut spending, this junk study is ground zero.”

He added that the Combating Terrorism Center should be focused on radical Islam and, at the least, publish a companion report underlying the dangers of left-wing terror groups like “the Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and the Weather Underground.” (And I would add ...or Occupy Wall Street and Anarchist who destroyed public property, defecated on Police cars)

By spending more than we have. By borrowing more than we can pay back. It's not rocket surgery.

RickD wrote: The people of the U. S. may be the most generous in the world. Just look at what happens after natural disasters around the world. Which country's people consistently give the most to help. Without looking at the stats if there are any, I would guess the U. S. is at the top.
