One should be asking "What is Obama Hiding?" Especially with the Fast and Furious scandal that had the justice dept. under Eric Holder walking guns across the Mexican border without tracking them. How many of these guns have killed people? One of the guns ended up killing a US border patrol agent, and now that there is a Congressional investigation, Holder has stone-walled at every turn and Obama added his Executive Privilege to it so the facts won't come out. Why? Because Obama was probably the ring-leader and Holder the instigator. Rather than worrying about Romney's taxes, shouldn't we be worrying about re-electing an accomplice to murder?
Gosh, you liberals must be really smart too, to be able to read my mind that I want all those who question my beliefs to burn in hell. Tell me, can you look in your crystal ball and tell me what I'm going to say or feel next? Just another name-calling liberal side-stepping the issues by trying to paint good Christians as hate-filled, intolerant, etc. A good Christian wants everyone to stay out of hell by telling them the truth. How sad there are some who don't want help. Maybe there's still hope. Paulk is still fighting his conscience. If he wasn't, he would care less. Let's hope his conscience finally wins.
Sorry Sylvia. Once again you've been duped by distortions. When liberals accused Rick Santorum of "loving torture" they took his words completely out of context. Not unusual at all for left-wingers of the lame-stream media. The poor liberals think news companies have the final word on truth. If a newscaster says it, it has to be true. And if they just happen to be wrong once in a while it's just an innocent mistake. Yeah, right! Secondly, Sylvia does not take the time to let us know the definition of torture or decide what exactly is meant by torture. The concept of torture is so vague no one seems to be absolutely sure how to classify each method. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2297) says, "Torture which uses physical or moral violence to extract confessions, punish the guilty, frighten opponents, or satisfy hatred is contrary to respect for the person and for human dignity." The 1984 United Nations Convention on Torture called it "the intentional infliction of severe pain." The words violence and severe are themselves somewhat vague. Who draws the line - and where? We all know that burning, breaking limbs, drawing and quartering are real torture. But what about less extreme interrogation techniques like sleep deprivation, being kept under harsh temperatures, or water-boarding (causes a brief panic-induced sensation of drowning but does not physically harm or injure)? Putting someone in solitary confinement might be torture to one person and a peaceful retreat to someone else. The point is, if you're trying to show that someone is a hypocrite, get your facts straight. Rick Santorum is not a sadist. Nor is he contradicting his faith. He knows the power of persuasion can be a useful tool to save lives. If someone, using sleep deprivation on a terrorist, had been able to extract information about the attacks on 9/11 before they happened would that person be wrong to save over 2,000 lives just by making the terrorist uncomfortable? Listen to your friends and family, Sylvia. Let it go. Being your brother/sister's keeper is more complicated than you think.
I am sorry that Leon did not appreciate my sarcasm. A lot of people thought it was an amusing way of revealing the truth about the illogic and inconsistencies in liberal arguments. Leon's latest letter proves my point that illogic and inconsistency is endemic in the liberal fantasy world. Schizophrenia also appears rampant in Leon's world. He apologizes, then he trashes. He calls someone a "worthy adversary," then says they are ridiculous. He accuses me of being full of venom and hatred yet never addresses the points I made. Leon attacks the messenger because he can't attack the sound message. Perhaps he objected to my use of the term "evil." A true Christian believes there is evil in the world. It's called sin. We all sin. A believer also knows that you cannot hate anyone, but you can hate the sin they do. A Christian knows, after reading the Bible, that homosexual acts are sinful. If you use Leon's illogic then you have to admit that Jesus, St. Paul, early Christians, and all the Old Testament prophets were hateful homophobes.
I suppose Leon thinks it is funny when he asks if I cruise around the homosexual community collecting unknown facts. Go ahead and laugh while you allow your homosexual brothers and sisters to get sick and die at an alarming rate and then have the gall to say you are welcoming. All one has to do is search the web with the words "Statistics, Diseases, Homosexual, Community" and you will be inundated by the sad truth. There are even homosexuals who admit that their life expectancy is much lower than the general population because they are so full of sickness and disease. That doesn't include the psychiatric agony endured by their promiscuous lifestyle.
Leon loves them all right. He literally loves them to death. Here are some facts: According to the CDC, the Aids rate among homosexuals is 50 times higher then the general population. One study shows gay life expectancy is 20 years less than the general population. A partial list of diseases devastating the homosexual communities are anal cancer, syphilis, gonorrhea, viral hepatitis A and B, herpes simplex, chlamydia trachomatis, giardia lamblia, etc. Medical science named the high rate of parasitic and other intestinal infections as "The Gay Bowel Syndrome." Women also suffer from bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, HPV, trichomoniasis, and anogenital warts. Many diseases are at the epidemic stage and some are found almost exclusively in the homosexual communities. Still laughing, Leon?
A true Christian feels compassion for these lost souls. He would try to bring these poor misguided folks out of the living hell they are in. If Leon was a caring human being, a Christian, he would recognize the truth when it hits him square in the face. He would stop attacking the very people who are trying to help and spread the word that the homosexual lifestyle is indeed deadly to fellow human beings. That would be true love. That would definitely be tough love.
