I really getting to the point that I'm sick and tired of "people of the cloth" who impose their views on others. Where did their divine intelligence come from?
I'm way more spiritual than to follow some religious dogma. I have seen how "religion" is used to control people and destroy them if they don't go by the word of one individual by what they believe is the truth, etc. Christiandom with all of its "flavors" a bit like Baskin Robbins...it all comes down to necessarily to goodness but marketing....seeing how one sect tries to lure the sheep from one to another. Just because someone puts on a dark robe with colorful scarves and perhaps sings perhaps a little less out of tune doesn't make them more Godly.
Because of "religion" so many people have to hide who they really are to so many because of the "fear" of "judgement" and reprisal from others which has been inculcated with a certain belief from others.
My relationship with God is a personal one... I live life by the Ten Commandments and my conscience...and that is fine by me.

Oh man, this is sure to get people to watch that STUPID, IDIOTIC ABC-TV new series "Commander In Chief." Again, this is a case of the Hollywood elite thinking the millions of minions who are not boozed up and drugged up really care what they think..... Ah yes, the world according to whacked out Cindy Sheehan, pigged out Barbra Streisand, and now...drugged and drunk over-the-hill actor Donald Sutherland.
'COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF' SUTHERLAND: BUSH WILL DESTROY OUR LIVES
Choking back tears, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF star Donald Sutherland warned this week: President Bush "will destroy our lives!"
The star of the new ABC drama, which follows the first woman President of the United States, lashed out at the real White House during a dramatic sit down interview with the BBC.
Sutherland ripped Bush and his administration for the war and Hurricane Katrina fallout.
"They were inept. The were inadequate to the task, and they lied," Sutherland charged.
"And they were insulting, and they were vindictive. And they were heartless. They did not care. They do not care. They do not care about Iraqi people. They do not care about the families of dead soldiers. They only care about profit."
At one point during the session, Sutherland started crying: "We stolen our children's future... We have children. We have children. How dare we take their legacy from them. How dare we. It's shameful. What we are doing to our world."
Sutherland went on rip Karl Rove's "methods and means" against people like Cindy Sheehan.
"We're back to burning books in Germany," Sutherland said of NBC's editing out of Kanye West's comment on Bush during a hurricane relief telethon.

Notwithstanding that I'm soooooo Hurricane Katrina'd and Rita'd out, I'm really coming to my own conclusion that it will NEVER rise again.
The time has come that we should simply fill it in and start a new city somewhere else that doesn't take Billions of $'s to create the same mess... Not only that, I see all of the bickering between all of the politicians both Republican and Democrats...and that by itself is going to impede any progress towards a rebuild.

| Your Birthdate: September 2 |
 Your birth on the 2nd day of the month adds a degree of emotion, sensitivity, and intuition to your life. The 2 is a very social number allowing you to make friends easily and quickly. Yet you are apt to have a rather nervous air in the company of a large group. You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection. You are more prone than most to become depressed and moody, as emotions can turn inward and cause anxiety and mental turmoil. It can be hard for you to bounce back to reality when depression sets in. |

I really thought better of Bette Midler....and this is why I will NEVER be a Democrat... I do not want to be associated with a party that has no class or sense of modicum in expressing its dissent:
Rolling Stone Magazine website
Phoooey!

Political chatter was kept to a minimum at both events, with performers mostly sticking to the program: championing aid for New Orleans. But a few artists angrily denounced government officials for their slow response to Katrina's devastation. "I Wish New Orleans was dry and Washington was underwater," said Tom Waits. Bette Midler had even stronger words: "I got a letter from the Republican Party the other day. I wrote back, 'Go fuck yourself.'" She then added, "George Bush is a fan of mine -- he came to see me in the Seventies. His coke dealer brought him."

Gov. Schwarzenegger will not sign a measure legalizing gay marriage....and I agree with him. If he would approve of it, he would be going against Prop 22 where the people have already given their vote several years ago.
Secondly, this "marriage" would not be worth the paper it is printed on because the other states would not be recognizing it. Until questions about finances, adoption, alimony, property rights are answered when a couple divorces are answered...then we can talk about "marriage." Right now, gays and lesbians think they can have one right but not the responsibilities which are tantamount to a true "marriage."

Upfront I will say that I have not had the biggest regard for the loud breast clubbing chanteuse Celine Dion. I commend her for making a generous contribution to the Hurricane Katrina relief...but after that she should just f***** shut up and sing "My Heart Will Go On" while being dragged mid-air about the Celine Dion Theater in Las Vegas:
07/09/2005 - 08:52:09
Canadian singer Celine Dion has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush's Iraq policy, while criticising his country's slow response to the southern states devastated by last week's Hurricane Katrina.
Dion, who has donated $1m (€7.99m) to victims of the storm, grew visibly emotional as she told of her frustration watching tens of thousands of survivors wait days for aid on CNN's Larry King Live TV show on Saturday.
The Think Twice hitmaker fumed: "I open (sic) the television, there's people still there, waiting to be rescued, and for me it's not acceptable.
"I know there's reasons for it, I'm sorry to say, I'm being rude, but I don't want to hear those reasons."
Dion criticised authorities for arresting looters in New Orleans, Louisiana, saying they should make rescuing the stranded victims a priority.
She said: "Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once."
Dion referred to Bush's controversial war in Iraq, saying: "How come it's so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second, to destroy lives? We need to be there right now to rescue the rest of the people."

If the horrific pictures from New Orleans aren't bad enough, you know have the politicians trying to make themselves self important. A case in point are the most irrelevant Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson grandstanding and trying to incite hatred by saying the delay in Federal help to rescue the residents of New Orleans was because President Bush hates black people, yada, yada, yada.
What about someone calling them on their THEIR racism towards white people?

OOPS! DRUGSTORE CONFUSES SUPER GLUE WITH HEMORRHOID CREAM!
Tuesday August 30, 2005
TURNER JENSEN, a pharmacist in Skyfine, Wyo., got into a sticky spot after he confused Super Glue with hemorrhoid cream, says an E.R. physician who treated several victims.
"All over town, people were sealing their anuses shut, while school kids were crying because they couldn't make their projects stick together," says Dr. Ryan Seasee.
Delroy Montgomery, a 45-year-old rodeo rider, was one victim of the mistake.
"My 'roids were burning, and I was scheduled to ride the bucking bull," says Montgomery. "Dr. Jensen gave me the tube and I took it home and applied it liberally, hoping for that soothing relief."
When it came time for his turn at the rodeo, Montgomery mounted the bull, but quickly blacked out from anal pain. An ambulance rushed him to Our Lady Of Dripping Blood Hospital, where he joined the crowd of perplexed patients.
Mrs. Edna Dalloway was one of them. "I suffer from chronic diarrhea," says the 65-year-old librarian. "After I used the lotion Mr. Jensen gave me, I couldn't even break wind! Before I could get to the hospital my stomach blew up so big it looked like I was nine months pregnant."
Dr. Seasee examined the patients and immediately discovered the problem. He easily dissolved the glue with solvent.
The red-faced pharmacist apologized to the residents.
"I have to keep the glue behind the counter because of the kids huffing it," explains Jensen. "I'm so sorry for the mix-up."

43% Republican. | "Congratulations, you're a swing voter. When they say 'Soccer Mom', they mean you. Every Democratic ad on the TV set was made just for your viewing enjoyment. Don't you feel special?" |
It has been painful for me to watch the coverage about Cindy Sheehan -- the mother who is publicly grieving the death of her soldier son in Iraq. She is now publishing a blog on Ariana Huffington's left-wing gadfly website. They invited comments and I provided the following:
Cindy, it so sad to see you being castigated by the right wingers and manipulated by the leftwingers while you are grieving for the death of your son. You, nor is anyone in a position to say whether the Iraq war was justified, a lie, or whatever. History is 50 years will be the judge. You have no right to demand to meet with President Bush nor to dictate world policy "in a world according to Cindy Sheehan."
The bottom line is that your son was a patriot who heard the calling of his country not once...but twice. Would Casey be happy that you are acting as you are? I think not. In fact, I think he would be very embarrased and hurt. Rather than openly venting your grief, you need to work with a therapist and work through your obvious psychological issues.
Cindy, while you have been in the media spotlight on our TV sets for the past weeks, the fact is that you have reached the 14th minute of your 15 minutes of fame. The press is getting tired of you. The American public is getting tired of you screaming and yelling. In six months you will be an item on a CNN Year In Review program and a mere memory in the back of the public's collective mind. You need to deal with your grief. You will never get over the death of your son. A professional psychologist/psychiatrist with an emphasis in grief counseling will help you deal with your demons.
That's the way Casey would hope that you would remember him.

I'm coming to realize that there are a lot more people upset about the political correctness (read: lack of honesty) when it comes to tolerance about other cultures and their idiosyncrasies. It would almost seem that we are having to respect and kowtow to other cultures while they are allowed not to respect OUR cultures. I received this following e-mail from a friend of mine in England via Australia:
Not very PC, but . . . . . !
This is quite sensible for an Australian, don't you think? What a shame that this sort of thing isn't said in the UK too
Subject: The Right to Leave
Australia - The Right to Leave
Our Country - YOU have the right - the right to leave !
After hearing that the State of South Australia changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered, this prompted an editorial written by an Australian citizen published in an Australian newspaper.
Quote:
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia.
However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our National Motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, Because God is part of our culture.
If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, And we really don't care how you did things where you came from.
This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE". If you aren't happy here then f#@* off! We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted. Pretty easy really, when you think about it. I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies), it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers, lets all try, please
No matter how many times you receive it... please forward it to all you know.

Frist Subject of Anti-Stem Cell TV Ads
By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer2 hours, 30 minutes ago
An evangelical group has begun a weeklong advertising campaign in Iowa criticizing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist for backing expanded embryonic stem cell research.
"We know Iowa is a way to get everybody's attention," said Gary Cass, head of the Florida-based Center for Reclaiming America. "Our hope is Senator Frist will hear from Iowans and they are kind of a bellwether state in the heartland."
Iowa is a critical state in the presidential nominating process and Frist is considered a potential candidate for the Republican nomination in 2008.
In the ad, which shows a photo of a smiling baby, an announcer says: "Senator Frist: we cannot save innocent lives by destroying them. Tell Senator Frist to stand with President Bush and oppose research that destroys human embryos."
Cass said the ads began airing Thursday on television stations in the Des Moines area and local radio stations around the state. The group is spending about $50,000 but could expand the campaign if more money is raised. It also sent e-mails to a national listing of 500,000 social conservatives.
Nick Smith, a spokesman for the Tennessee senator, said Frist "understands that there are many opinions on this issue and he respects those opinions. However, after long thought, he has made his decision based on principle and believes it holds great promise in helping many people."
Frist angered many social conservatives when he endorsed legislation that would provide federal funds for expanded stem cell research.
"Senator Frist made a tragic and grave error in endorsing public funding of research that destroys human life," Cass said.
It is news reports and seeing viscious diabtribe coming from the mouths of so-called "liberals" which give liberal-minded folks a bad name....

Turkman president bans recorded music
Aug. 23, 2005 at 4:17PM
Turkmenistan President Saparmurat Niyazov has deemed recorded music a negative influence on society and banned it from public events, TV and weddings. Niyazov has already banned opera and ballet from the former Soviet state, saying they were unnecessary, the BBC reported."Unfortunately, one can see on television old voiceless singers lip-synching their old songs, Niyazov told his cabinet regarding music on TV. "Don't kill talents by using lip-synching ... create our new culture." In 2001, Niyazov, the country's president for life, banned gold tooth caps, long hair and beards on young men. He has also banned car radios, closed all hospitals except those in the capital and renamed calendar months after his relatives, the BBC said.
