Grayson held a special little place in my heart after letting Bernenke have it. Here is a wonderful clip of that moment. In this thread we ask why do we have Matthews... well, here's a bigger question... why do we have the Fed! Anyway, enjoy this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRlYx48PDRU I was crushed when I learned of Grayson’s comments regarding Republicans and healthcare.

It's evidenced by the force conscription of elementary school kids to sing songs of praise to Obama the god. Or is it politics that's religious to them? Who knows, but I don't think they've set foot in a real church in 20 years. You are forgetting that for liberals, socialism and government functions are their religion.

Mr. Grayson, just a brief word about pride. The distance between the boastful pride that you demonstrate and a fall flat on you face can be a very short distance.

On the other hand, if people think their cause is just, praying in a group for its success is not wrong per se... And you're right, I had meant to point out that Luther did NOT know he would be successful or even survive his taking a stand. I was just carried away by the sheer folly and ridiculousness of the rest of their conversation. Good post! Hope to hear from you again.

They have also posted the script for the "bidding prayer" used in that liturgy. I think the prayer itself is objectionable. If you would like to know how Martin Luther "knew he could stand against the church," the truth will be found in history. Many before him had been burned at the stake. Look up John Hus. Luther was convinced he would meet the same fate. Here is his testimony: "Unless I am convicted [convinced] of error by the testimony of Scripture or (since I put no trust in the unsupported authority of Pope or councils, since it is plain that they have often erred and often contradicted themselves) by manifest reasoning, I stand convicted [convinced] by the Scriptures to which I have appealed, and my conscience is taken captive by God's word, I cannot and will not recant anything, for to act against our conscience is neither safe for us, nor open to us. On this I take my stand. I can do no other. God help me." http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~lyman/english233/Luther-Diet_of_Worms.htm Have we any heroes, ready to stand for conscience? http://www.gamaliel.org/default.htm

The first few are muddled with too many syllables as the crowd isn't in sync, but after about 3 times, it's not even arguable. Listen to it instead of reading the subtitles and let's try to stay away from being infected with ODS. Oh, man, the longer that tape goes on, the more obvious it is they are saying Oh God, not Obama.

Ha he not been called the Obamessiah? The One? Mostly in jest but... Consider the recent video of those imploring Obama to save them in a prayerful manner, with one leading and others repeating the chorus,"Deliver us Obama." http://vodpod.com/watch/2257967-i-never-believed-obama-was-the-antichrist-but-this-is-scary I doan know about the anti-Christ thing but...this is sick as can be. Of all religious related groups out there, Obama is most popular with...atheists. And Communists are??? I just know owe thing for sure. The majority of the members of the MSM are guilty of treason. If Jill and Joe America had known that Obamas parents were both Communists and all the rest of the radical crap this creep brings with him, they might have taken a closer look at the man instead of the packaging.
