		<description>The statement, &quot;Do some warfare over him,&quot; refers to &lt;i&gt;spiritual warfare&lt;/i&gt; - prayer.  The woman &amp; the children were praying for Pres. Bush.  What&#039;s so wrong with that?</description>

		<description>NJLawyer: Regardless of Ayers&#039;s past, he&#039;s a force in Chicago politics. Any politician who comes out of Chicago will have to have, by necessity, had some dealings with him. 

I&#039;ll even agree that he and Obama are more likely to share some political goals than he and a conservative would. 

BUT: There is NO evidence at all that Obama endorses, embraces or excuses Ayers&#039; past violence. And when you and Victoria and others try to imply THAT sort of a connection, you are bearing false witness. I really do not understand how self-proclaimed Christians can so comfortably engage in deceptive innuendo and guilt by association, and see no moral problem with it. 

And yes, I did call you a bigot, when you cheerfully described how you go out of your way to avoid interacting with shoe salesmen you assume (don&#039;t even know for sure, just assume) to be gay. Sorry if you don&#039;t like being called on that behavior, but if the shoe fits ...</description>

		<description>Okay, it&#039;s late, Alaska time, so make that really late for all you Eastie&#039;s.  So what are the chances anyone will read this anyway right?  

In part following the example of some fearless leaders, but mostly because I need to bring some moderation back to my internet habits, I am taking a &quot;news&quot; fast on the internet.  Starting today till oh, about a week after the election.  Well, maybe just a few days after, but at least till Nov. 8.  I am going to set a different homepage so Drudge isn&#039;t the first thing I see when I go online.  I have told my daughters, they will hold me accountable.

this does include WMB.  I need to spend more time immersing myself in prayer and the Word and not the World :) at least for a season.  

Soooo.  Random, you can&#039;t eliminate me - I&#039;m eliminating myself.  Keep taking your meds.

HRW and RPN, I agree with your assessment (#109) of that clip.  

Scary as it is, it doesn&#039;t scare me more than the large ubiquitous pictures of the Democratic Candidate.  No wonder he is compared to Messiah - his image is everywhere.  It may not be intentional propaganda on his part personally, but it sure looks, smells and quacks like a duck.  The first time I noticed it was on a newspiece that included a picture of a campaign worker with a wall-sized photo of Senator Obama behind her.  Unfortunately, I can&#039;t see enormous pictures of political leaders without thinking Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao.  

I&#039;m not doing a complete news fast - will still listen to the radio and read the weekend edition of the paper when it comes to the house.  But staying away for the computer for all but the necessary research will be so good for a time.  Especially this critical time.  

I&#039;m sure, as has been mentioned, the state of things will get worse before they get better.  After the election, I expect it will still get worse; the only variable is the amount of acceleration to America&#039;s decline depending on who is in charge for the next four years.  

So, see you next month! Right now, I&#039;m joining the rest of my family for our current favorite viewing pick &quot;Keeping up Appearances&quot;.

&#039;night all.

		<description>Indeed, the &quot;cult like behavior&quot; is coming from the CCR&#039;s who have made Sarah Palin the &quot;4th Member of the Trinity&quot; and will not abide any criticism or questioning of her.  Look how they rage on here whenever she&#039;s even mildly criticized or questioned.  They&#039;re trying to pull a fast one on the American people and put an idiot fundamentalist Christian in the White House.  Yes, she is an idiot when it comes to anything related to running this nation.  Winking and cooing at the American people are not the actions of a responsible, national leader.</description>

		<description>cult like behavior is exhibited by people who exhibit some of the following behavior

- compliance with the group
- dependence on a leader
- avoidance of dissent
- devaluation of outsiders.

In worshiping a cardboard cutout of Bush, I&#039;d say cult like behavior is being exhibited. 

If you did not find my link of worship and blessing a cardboard cutout of Bush to be scarier than some children singing a cheesy song about hope and Obama, then you have a skewered perspective on life. &quot;do some warfare over him&quot; is a scary quote. The militant air of that clip and others from the same film demonstrated a great preponderance to cult like behavior that exuded violence over hope. I grew up Dutch Reformed and the film Jesus Camp scared the     out of me.</description>
