    Those 95% of scientists who claim to be Atheists are often lying because they know that their career is on the line. Probably half of them would more accurately term themselves Agnostics.

    Back in 1965 Helen Wambach Ph. D. set out to disprove the idea of reincarnation by hypnotizing people and regressing them in time. She figured that she would get a whole bunch of famous people that her volunteers had read about but....... the actual results shocked her.

    I'm not actually trying to get you to believe in the type of God preached in most churches...... but it could do you good to know that there is some sort of soul - spirit or higher dimensional hard drive inside of you that survives your death........ and existed long before you were born.

    A trend that I have noticed in my 56 years is that often, what is clearly an error, can work out to produce tremendous good.......... which tends to increase my tendency to become even more "liberal."

    ..................
    Here is one of the discussions that I got going that led to it being suggested that I should write directly to Rabbi Hollander.

    A lot can be accomplished with 128 TRILLION Volunteerism Hour notes if they are marketed to Christian and Jewish volunteers in a wise and professional manner.



    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=419320&page=8&p=1065450051#post1065450051


    Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander is, if I am not mistaken, arguing with his fellow Rabbi's on the Sanhedrin that they have no jurisdiction over the Vatican State and specifically over you Pope Francis.

    His approach is wise indeed but......… … there is a level of inspiration in what his fellow Rabbi's are doing........ All of this sets up the stage for 2017 as a Jubilee year as identified by Rabbi Judah ben Samuel.

    If liberals are smarter than conservatives, why do they intentionally subject themselves to outrage by cancelling events that celebrate excellence, on the basis that it will lead others to feeling left out?

    In one sense this is true.... and sure helps to explain statements made by President Obama that illustrate that he is on a very different wave length than most Americans..... and yet he was still chosen as national leader of the Democratic Party?????!


    http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...things-can-you-say-about-president-obama.html

    What positive things can you say about President Obama?



    For one thing....... the situation could be much much worse and President Obama has performed much better than many of my conservative friends felt that he might do.

    I haven't read articles yet about thousand of Christian leaders being rounded up and put in concentration camps....... as many people expected to occur?!

    I got an interesting analysis of President Obama a few moments ago.

    Yup.... that is certainly a valid point!

    "Liberals" tend to care a little too much about what others think of them. They often try a little too hard to be politically correct.

    Yes..... I just got back an interesting writing that illustrates one of in which a segment of the population on the right feel confident in their superiority....... but let's face it..... there is a segment on the political left who are every bit as confident that they are correct....... pretty much right across the spectrum of issues.

    I am not sure yet if this was written by the famous actor - comedian Jimmy Stewart.... or if this is just somebody else with the same name?

    Very good and thanks. I hate wine. I got drunk on it one night and spent the next 3 days trying to recover. I never drank wine since and that has to be close to 40 years. I like beer, but not the American pee kind. Singha from Thailand is my favorite, probably because I spent 6 years there. Then almost any German beer.

    But every now and then, like tonight to celebrate New Years, I will have a shot or two of Old Crow Bourbon. That is a once a year thing.

    I have never heard of Singha before. Will keep an eye out for it! Beer is certainly my favorite drink but I don't treat myself all that often. I didn't even bother buying any for tonight!

    A young girl was sent home from school because her Wonder Woman lunchbox violated the school ban on depictions of "violent characters".

    An Oregon eighth-grader whose brother served in Iraq was suspended for wearing a t-shirt that depicted an empty pair of boots representing soldiers killed in action because it was "not appropriate".

    I could go on, but I think most of you can see the many examples of infantile stupidity that become rampant in our country.

    These stupidities are the result of liberals, not conservatives.

    Liberals tend to rely on feelings rather than common sense and facts, they certainly are not more intelligent.

    Why is it PC to say -

    - Conservatives are dumb

    When you can basically be sued for saying the same about gays, blacks/mexicans/pick'a'race, homeless, handicapped or anything else in the world a bad name.

    Besides white people, and of course conservatives. I have noticed us Libertarians are being now throwin in the mix but I blame BS Libertarians like Rand Paul.

    By the way, I find one of the answers very annoying.

    The conservative movement is based on "dont work, dont eat".

    Why is that bad? Besides the handicapped, which are taken care of, why should we let people do absolutely nothing and pay for them? I have tons of 30 year old friends who have abused unemplopyment and proved to me how muich of a joke it is.

    I am willing to bet only 20-40% of the people on welfare are incapable of caring for themselves. Most are just flat out lazy.

    I didn't either. I drink about a six pack a year. My shot of bourbon comes at midnight and then it is wait until next year. Now when I was young and stationed overseas, I drank and drank. Tonight I am just sitting here with a glass of ice coffee enjoying some quiet time watching some old movies and playing around with the computer time to time.

    Nothing exciting, but enjoyable to me.

    Tell me about it. I was lucky enough to be stationed in Bangkok from 1967-69 and again 1973-76. Its what I call heaven for a young GI at the time.

    Wrong. Conservatives have no problem with people who don't work getting millions of dollars a year in income (via privileges).

    Liberals who self-congratulate themselves remind me of middle-schoolers with their group-tinking mentality. Are you a skater or a jock? A surfer or a mod? A hard or a frat?

    As a registered Democrat, I'm positively green with envy with the variety and spectrum of personalities the Republicans have provided for candidates. I only get to choose between two old white guys and a felon.

    Those that believe liberals are more intelligent than conservatives may wish to view the following video.

    [video=youtube;2LZa6pNFCC4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LZa6pNFCC4[/video]

    Counting only those that ignited themselves, over seventy six percent of those setting themselves on fire for the sake of amusing others are black. The black community largely tends to support liberal policies, and liberal politicians, thus making them liberals as well. From this we can conclude that liberals believe it is a good idea to set themselves on fire for no legitimate reason.
