Nick Griffin says he is a Christian... his followers though are more interested in building walls (actual ones) and living in only white areas. Something about "vital bodily fluids" n' losing what it means to be British.... Apparently according to the BNP immigrants cause the indigenous UK population to be at risk.
This past weekend, the lawn of the Lincoln Memorial played host to the biggest tea party Washington D.C. has ever seen. And what a Wonderland it was, with the Mad Hatter – conservative commentator Glenn Beck – and the Queen of Hearts – former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin – exhorting the crowd to forget politics and focus on a higher power. According to Mr. Beck, “Something beyond imagination is happening … America today begins to turn back to God.”.............
Tuesday: I'am for Obama I think he will be the best leader the USA has ever had .He is down to earth with anyone. You have to realize what he is up against because the Bush people got the USA in one big mess.& he can only do one thing at time my dear to fix it
Tuesday: If they were a 'fan'... yes. Beck has been open about his Mormonism for a few years now.. especially on his radio show from what I've heard
... He's not afraid to use God in all three forms to 'draw' people into his thinking. Yet it feels icky when he does it. God n' politics in one hit... that's a no no, ya not allowed to use God.. it's in the Gospels. Not even Jesus was allowed to do that.
Tuesday: I remember quite a few Conservative 'Christians' who said anyone who did not believe as they did ... then they were in league with the devil. Yes.. I imagine many of them who would like Beck.
It's that thing he does when Beck starts acting like he's from the "ministry of truth".
N' last I heard.. Conservative Christianity and Mormons didn't mix.. One 'born again' Conservative type use to go on and on and on about how The Mormon prophet was a big fat liar and his followers were deluded and on the road to hell.
Subject: Re:How so? YOu must mean by exercising his Constitutional right to free speech and assembly. I forgot that you libs were against that part of the Constitution when it comes to those with opposing views.
Artful Dodger: Sooooo.. everyone is allowed to have an opinion... true. Then anyone who isn't .. as it were.. 'in your camp' is allowed to disagree as per free speech. But you seem to be against that!!
The Col: Your side stopped making sense long ago and that's why the country is turning against the libs. A huge majority of Americans of all stripes are turning (and have turned) away from the liberal agenda. It's not what the people want for the country.
The tea party has ideas. Liberal have lies and name calling.
Tuesday: And you're sure of this because??? BTW, isn't your son in the military? There were many ex military in attendance. You have something against the military?
And what's all this nonsense about tolerance? Where's yours?
Glen Beck rally drew thousands. How many thousands? Some estimates have it as several hundred thousand. By contrast, Al Sharpton's counter-rally drew only 3,000. Even left wing critics had to concede that the rally was a "huge success." But the left won't stay quiet about Beck's success. As one blogger put it, "The many on the left who hate and fear Beck already, just got a jolt of fear-based adrenalin from this event. Their loathing and inner turmoil can only increase.."

Artful Dodger: Sharon Angle, Rand Paul, Ken Buck, etc. I don't blame their handlers for keeping them out of the press. They all have bad cases of foot-in-mouth disease. Then there is Nikki Haley in SC. Our illustrious GOP nominee for Gov. She calls for accountability in state gov't, but she hasn't paid taxes in 6 year, and released her emails 3 mos. after rumors spread about affairs via email. She is just sitting around waiting for Sarah Palin's "coat tails" to kick in for the General Election.
The Republicans are so self righteous & arrogant about taking over the House & Senate that they could be overplaying their hand. I'd be carefull about putting out such lofty expectations. You could be disappointed on election night. But, unlike the GOP, I don't have a crystal ball, so, I'm not making any grandiose pronouncements.
Artful Dodger: Does the article include all the costs involved in Iraq, or are they just (as it seems) using the war related defence budget spending figures.
.. there is also the contractors costs, the cost of all the equipment the US Military want serviced, withdrawal costs
Artful Dodger: That's true right now, but we have 2 mos left. Plenty of time for the radical "Tea Party" favorites who are taking over your party to ruin it for ya.
