Burt - you left out two fanatics, the klintons. As for the one who wears the pants, or is it the other way around, it was "The Ten Suggestions". BTW, if I did what Bill did I would be lying in a pool of my own blood with my wife standing over me saying, where is the rest of the .45 ACP ammunition." (I copied this from a former senator, I forgot which one. So don't accuse me of plagiarisim. I will leave that for Biden.) I have been to several Tea Party meetings and have yet to see Nazis, fascists, racists, homophobes, yokels and/or hostage-taking terrorists. I am glad you did not include liberal Jews in with the devout Catholic, the most fervent Evangelical, the most orthodox Jew. Liberal Jews have a bible and a god. Their bible is the NY Slimes (oops Times) and their god is FDR. We resided in the Peoples Republik of Great Neck, NY before we relocated to God's Country (Wyoming) and had to put up with the liberal Jews. BTW, my background is Jewish so they shouldn't call me a Nazi or anti-Semitic (but they have). They also called Jews for the Preservation of Firearms (JPFO.org) anti-Semitic. Figure that out if you have time to waste.

Howard: As we both know, left-wing Jews have only one religion. And it's not Judaism, it's Liberalism.

God asked the ancient Jews a profound question...recorded in Jeremiah 2: "has a nation changed its gods?"

The US was attacked by pantheism in the 60's...where the person became God or at least latent, in search of that eye opening experience. There was no consequence for sin, for there was no sin, WE being the final judge of what was right and what was wrong---it was all relative and subjective.

It was bitter fruit.

The crowing effect of that is a rise of elitism, those who figure that though we are all god, they have begun to realize it and thus see better how to lead us to the "kingdom"...

It was called The New Age Movement back then...today, its called standard education, entertainment, law, religion, etc...main stream.

Not a good thing.

But, its where the problem is...and it indicates the answer..."Return to Me, and I will return to you."

God bless

Thanks, Burt. You have it. Too many have missed how to prioritize the importance of God, family, and whatever comes next in their listing. It happens to all of us, but it seems we are re-finding the correct order.

Burt, FYI, QueensJudyG, posted the same comment on Mona Charens NYTimes piece as she did on yours, it is still on Monas, the date is 9/2.

Thinking of things religous, it is to bad we cannot reincarnate people from the past. We could just go out there and find the bones of Moses and bring him back to life. Moses as most probably know separated the waters for the Jews of the Exodus.

Once brought back to life he could simply use his God given talent to separate the water, to separate out our country, the liberals to the left, the conservatives to the right. Now that would be a miracle. Not only would I finaly experience liberty, I would enjoy watching the liberals kill themselves off with their insane position on everything.

I`m talking about liberalism that states to protect polar bears capitalists cannot drill for oil, but the same liberalism that then states it is a right to pull an 8 month old developing human in the womb, out of the womb, crack its skull open and suck out its brains. I`m talking about these same liberals not allowing the execution of muderers because it is a sanctity of life issue. I`m talking about preventing the drilling for oil to save the polar bears, the murder of innocent life in the womb, and the lifelong support of convicted murderers all with my, and others, tax dollars.

Bill Maher could be the poster boy for liberals. He has an uncanny likeness to a rat faced wiessel. A couple of long hairs protruding from each side of his nose and I could not tell the difference between his face and the real rat faced wiessel. If ever liberals wanted a symbolic mascot for their ideology a rat faced wiessel would be it.

The liberal dementia of Americas immature is killing America and dumping pain and suffering on my life. I wish they would just leave, just secede, I`d help them move. Thank you.

Burt et al:

Judges are lawyers who got lucky; and I know a couple of lawyers who were/are judges. One is my own lawyer and the other is a good buddy in my JWV post (patron member). I'm a Life Member of JWV and an Airborne Ranger of the Field Artillery persuasion.

Department of Justice, what an oxymoron. As if anything born of the D.C. political system has anything to do with true justice. "Supreme Court Justice." What a crock. The despotic branch for sure.

Having been screwed in court a couple of times because of bias and/or laziness, I have no faith in our "justice" system.

Liberals have poisoned America and we're dying because of it.

Really good article that shows the hypocrisy on the left regarding who is worshipping what. This has always been a source of frustration, but by breaking it down so concisely it will surely help in future 'discussions' about liberal worship of big government at the total expense of the one true God.

Re: Moses

one good thing about Moses...he left us some guideline for recognizing these folks...called The Ten Commandments...

They especially don't like #1...believing the lie "You shall be as God."

I am constantly amazed at how these miscreants, which the Bible refers to as as "the lawless" a literally cringe at the thought of an objective standard or limit....

Want to weed them out fast...insist on honesty.

God speed

"Where the principle of difference [between political parties] is as substantial and as strongly pronounced as between the republicans and the monocrats of our country, I hold it as honorable to take a firm and decided part and as immoral to pursue a middle line, as between the parties of honest men and rogues, into which every country is divided." --Thomas Jefferson to William Branch Giles, 1795. ME 9:317

PDK: Can we assume you mean weasel? Guessing at how to spell a word shouldn't be necessary in this day and age of the internet.

SJVet: I am confident that PDK meant "weasel," because when I last checked my dictionary, the word was illustrated with a picture of Bill Maher.

PDK: I will try to track down Mona Charen's piece and figure out why QueensJudyG thought her comment was equally appropriate to both articles.

Burt

Burt,

Well, as far as I'm concerned you've done it now. I NEVER even suspected that you would do it, but you did!!!

Being a forester and wood technologist, I am utterly disappointed that you used a tree and the forest as a parallel to liberals and their pursuits!

(But since you started it I will finish it.)

Conservatives, and especially the tea party are as well-rooted as the mighty oak. Their strength is like the great hickory, and their resillience is as the bending ash. Finally, their beauty is like the graceful magnolia and their aroma fills the air like the fragrant bloom of the locust.

Whereas liberals, and, forgive me for this is no insult to the following, are like the aspen, going this way and that in the slightest breeze, and as shallow-rooted as the lowly pine. Their strength is like a wind-blown beech, brash and giving way at the slightest pressure. The personality of a liberal is unlike the graceful dogwood, but more like the stinking ailanthus.

How about that for a string of metaphors?

Keep it up and Semper Paratus!

SJ, glag you liked the comment, yes I meant weasel. I came to computers about year or so ago, someday I`ll figure out how , or where that word spell mechanisim is. I know there is one on my email page but I use the comment board, it otherwise works well for me. Thanks though.

Burt did you find QueensJudyGs comment, just curious.

@SJvet PDK went to a lot of trouble to compose his post and your only comment is about a spelling error?

I fined thet too bee not two pulight on you´re part.

Burt: As usual and as expected, a stunningly cogent and on point column. Having returned to God myself in recent years, after wandering in the wilderness for nearly forty, I have a sincere hope and belief that we as a nation can turn this around. One soul at a time, one person at a time, we can build to a mighty river of righteousness and redeem the legacy left to us by the generations that labored for us in the past.

PDK: I understand you dilemma with spell check. When you have written your response, and are satisfied with what it says, highlight it, copy it, paste it into a new email page, run your email spell check, then highlight and copy the result, and paste it over the original in your response. Nearly instant spell check for the slightly computer challenged, and for a site like Patriot Post that does not provide spell check!!

I do it all the time myself!

Just did it again for this message!

Best, RJA

Any Liberal should ONLY pick out my neckties. As to Liberal mascots, the one they alrerady use, JACKASS, does just fine.

Burt

Thank you for yet another insightful read. It does my heart, soul and spirit well to see you hammer home words as few others can.

Boy you really hit the hard ones Burt---I myself have a hard time with religion. I think its nothing more than a belief. Its like a cult, and I know there will be a ton of scriptures about something from a book written by somebody, usually king james. Then theres the old and new testament and who knows what else. I have no problem with people who believe in abook. How about the greek mysthology? Theres another book. I guess it comes down to the chicken or the egg theory. I was raised in a religious family, yet have never seen anyone who went to heaven or hell. I guess it comes down to whatever makes you feel good. I haven't seen any miracles either or any actual facts pertaining to god. Science is great but, that can be proven. I remember praying when I was young, but because I was told I should. I remember the Chaplain praying that we would be victorious in the coming battle, but it came down to doing what I was trained to do. I didn't see god as a factor. I guess I put my faith in myself and my ability to do whatever is necessary to survive. I don't rely on other people or spirits. If religion gives people the drive to do the right thing, then I guess I can accept that, but I don't think god has anything to do with that. All I know is there have been a lot of wars fought over religion and alot of people have died. Was it because their god was stronger or was it because they wanted to win?

DaneChile: SJVet was not being rude in pointing out PDK's spelling mistake. Having one's mistakes pointed out is a good way to avoid making them in the future. Although I happen to be a very good speller, I always send my pieces to my wife and a few friends before posting them, hoping they will spot any goof I missed. (I find it is very difficult to proof one's own copy.) As for SpellCheck, the problem is that it doesn't consider context. If you misspell a word, but what you type is an actual word, it won't call it to your attention.

MARINE: I have just written a piece that will soon be posted here in which I once again state my position when it comes to religion. I am not religious, but I respect those who are, just so long as they are neither followers of Islam nor those Christian fanatics who insist that the earth is a mere 6,000 years old...thus placing themselves in direct conflict with carbon dating, fossils, science and, yes, common sense.

Burt

If there is one God, many gods, or no gods, it matters not. Man has free will to choose and, in effect, determine his own destiny.

BP and all:

Didja ever think that man created God in his own image? And he did this in an effort to explain what he didn't understand. Ancient polytheistic religions had a god or goddess for aspects of everyday life that couldn't be explained at the time. As knowledge increased, the number of gods diminished. The God of the Christians, Jews and Muslims is one and the same and represents the last aspects of the universe for which there is as yet no explanation.

That said, I believe religion or religious belief is a personal thing, not requiring a particular place or ritual or day of the week for its proper expression. God is personal and doesn't ask of us what we cannot otherwise give.
