    Moving to bc

    Horseshoe bay is a nice area! However, I think you'll quickly discover the economy isn't nearly as vibrant as in Alberta (especially the Calgary-Edmonton corridor). Your income will certainly take a hit, and if I'm not mistaken, the cost of living is VERY high in that area (and in western BC in...

    What is your weather like?

    I was in Calgary earlier this week. It was surprisingly green, I thought. Have you guys been getting more rain than usual?

    "I love you"

    This is the wise approach.

    Rick Warren

    I'd say Warren is more damaging than Spong. Why? All true Christians will recognize that Spong is an exceptionally deluded apostate. However, many true Christians have been fooled into believing Warren's purpose-driven lies. He is leading multitudes to destruction. :(

    Rick Warren

    Is anyone else utterly disturbed by the teachings of this man? Or perhaps it isn't so much what he teaches, but rather, what he doesn't teach. What he doesn't teach is the sole sufficiency of Christ and the Bible, and the necessity of repentance. I'm convinced he is a globalist, ecumenical...

    2008 Presidential Election

    I did vote for Michael Peroutka in '08, and might vote for Baldwin this time around. Or Barr. But it is unlikely that I'll vote for McCain.

    2008 Presidential Election

    The problem with the Constitution Party is they are merely a vehicle for a Presidential candidate. Between presidential elections, you'd think the party dropped off the face of the earth.

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    Still, people who think there's something "new and refreshing" about Obama make me chuckle.

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    Yes, well... If Democrats have done better on that issue, it's purely luck. We haven't had a balanced budget for decades. In the late 90s, the Republicrats and Slick Willy only filled the deficit with a Social Security surplus, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is supposed to be entirely...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    Oh yeah? Well LBJ started it. ;) Sadly, it is true that all Presidents since LBJ have supported "Great Society" Socialism. That is true even for Ronald Reagan, to an extent, although you must confess his hands were tied by Congress.

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    Yeah, the economy was BOOMING during the Carter administration, interest rates were at an all-time low, and we had a balanced budget. Right. Well...maybe in an alternate universe. Where exactly do you get your information?

    Obama pro/con (5)

    Obama has been clear that he opposes a ban on partial-birth abortion - that it should be legal for any reason whatsoever. Supposedly there are circumstances in which it is medically necessary to butcher a baby as he or she is delivered. Rather than being received with love, they receive a pair...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    It's the highest disapproval rating in the history of the U.S. Congress. You honestly don't think Democrats and Republicans should both be concerned about that? Americans are looking for change, but due to our two-party system, they assume the only place to get it is the Democrat Party. The...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    'Moderate' and 'Obama' don't belong in the same sentence. Obama is the most liberal candidate since George McGovern. This will occur with a McCain administration as well. The difference is, McCain would handle it in a way that honors the sacrifice of those fallen. Guantanamo? Those terrorists...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    Oh, really? Then perhaps you could explain why the approval rating for our current Congress is the lowest in, well, the entire history of the Congress. It is currently hovering at around 13%, substantially below that of President Bush. http://www.pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm The average for...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    A disarmed America is what I call a nightmare.

    What are your thoughts on atheists?

    I believe in Hell exists because the Bible says so. Jesus preached often and loudly of Hell. I think it's safe to say He considered it a matter of utmost importance. Hell is as eternal as heaven. In the Greek of Matthew 25:46 we find the phrases 'aionios kolasis' (everlasting punishment) and...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    Sadly, I don't think McSame offers much better. I like McCain on a personal level, and his talk about fiscal restraint sounds great, but would he follow through on his promises? Bush, too, claimed to be a small-government conservative opposed to nation-building. And look at what we got. :doh...

    Jimmy Carter's Second Term

    If Barack Obama does manage to win the presidency, he will be a one-term President. Obamanomics, complements of a Democrat-controlled House and Senate, will drive this country into deeper recession. Interest rates and inflation will be sky-high. By 2013, when Obama leaves office following an...
