Fox News is ANYTHING but "fair and balanced".

That's why Fox News REPEATS and REPEATS and REPEATS and REPEATS and REPEATS "fair and balanced". They need to convince their viewers into believing they really are, in spite of everything they do that isn't.

So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain is "proud" and "honored" to have received the endorsement of Reverend John Hagee who claimed that Hurricane Katrina was God's judgement against homosexuality

All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are — were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment. And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.

McCain wasn't just proud to receive Hagee's endorsement, McCain actively sought the endorsement of anti-gay Hagee.

In an interview that will appear in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, controversial televangelist Rev. John Hagee declares, "It's true that [John] McCain's campaign sought my endorsement."

And John Hagee hates more than just the gays. Hagee had this to say about women:

Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist.

And this to say about the Catholic Church:

Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews.

Hagee ain't afraid to tell us how he really feels.

Now it is time for John McCain to do the same. Does John McCain believe that Hurricane Katrina was God's judgement against homosexuality and that the Catholic Church is "a false cult system?"

Let's hope that the traditional media gets over its love affair with the "straight talking" McCain to find out.

Thank you very much for raising this issue. I've given it a LOT of thought myself.

I've often wondered why the U.S. has been the way it has since the turn of the century. These issues include - but are not limited to - the endless war in Iraq, people dying prematurely because of inadequate health care, and the increasing level of hatred and intolerance. And of course Hurricane Katrina, as you mentioned.

I have become increasingly convinced that the United States of America is collectively being punished for its unrepentant sins. Under the "leadership" of an individual who repeatedly claims to be following the will of God, but is instead most certainly the "wolf in sheep's clothing" mentioned in Matthew 7:15, the U.S. has followed a direction that has been MOST CERTAINLY the opposite of what God's will is for all of us.



The only question that remains is this: how much longer will the U.S. continue to be punished for its ongoing sinfulness in the 21st century?

Do you really believe there is more or do we just hear about it more because weather is now a major news headline? There are also more people in the world, so violent weather effects more people. I think weather runs in patterns and we have only analyzed a very short time period to begin to have a clue about weather and it's long term patterns.

Of course I don't agree with everything above...................... but I have have seen the following scenarios in my second wife.... except she didn't need the PMS.......Therefore, I am single till I croak !!!

Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."

I don't get into religeous squabbles but trust me on this.......WE HAVEN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO ENCOUNTERING THE "WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING" !!!

It hasn't reared it's ugly head yet, but you will know when it does !!!

What you've seen so far, is just a "tip of the pin" taste of what is to come.

Doesn't it seem strange to you that there are more and more floods every year ?

More and more violent storms and tornadoes, as time progresses?

More earthquakes in more places than ever before? Or have you been hibernating with Octorara Orphie for the last twenty or so years???

There has been more devastation in the world in the last thirty to forty years than the first half of the twentieth century. More mass murders, more crime and the perpetrators are getting more and more brazen and creative. Use to be you heard about someone being mudered two or three times a year. Now you hear about several a day. We are watching the world crumble around us and not doing a

GOD BLESSED thing about it. And once the wolf shows up... there'll be no stopping it !!!

Does anybody believe their are left leaning news channels?

NPR is not even close to being liberal.

PMS = Putting up with Men's Sh*t.

Until you learn to understand and accept that women, in addition to men, have unique bodily differences you will remain single. 'tis better to attract flies with honey than vinegar. lol



Armageddon??

Do you really believe there is more or do we just hear about it more because weather is now a major news headline? There are also more people in the world, so violent weather effects more people. I think weather runs in patterns and we have only analyzed a very short time period to begin to have a clue about weather and it's long term patterns.

You are correct ! Weather does run in patterns and the patterns become more plentiful as well as more violent all the time.

But I wasn't just talking about weather. Please re-read my last post. Earthquakes in places where they have never been recorded before. Mass murders, criminals running rampant. More home invasions than ever before. Even small towns are beefing up their police force.

I've been alive for 62 years and have been all over the world as a career soldier. I have seen alot of changes in the world. The news reels are much more violent and depressing than when I was a young man .

To answer your question; Yes, I truly believe there is alot more to come.

I believe the world is coming apart at the seams because people no longer know how to nor have the inclination to join forces and help each other's cause.

And when I say "cause", I'm talking about famine, homelessness, dictatorships and repression, etc.

Yes, the media machine has brought alot more of it to the forefront but there is also more to bring to our attention than ever before.

If you think 9/11 was devastating, you're all in for major surprises in the future.

What is coming will make Osama "Yo mama" look like a guardian angel.

The shame of is that we can do something about it but our lackadaisical approach to everyday life has left us either complacent or just plain oblivious to it. So there are no plans to quell the dangers.

All of this is written in the bible. These are not deep dark secrets that are being witheld from us.

I could go on but no one's listening anyway. Let's just say we've been warned !!

Yes, partially. Armageddon.



Oh, and Kate; I'm VERY aware of the physical and physiological differences between men and women. I'm single by my choice because I got tired of having them drilled into my noggin five days out of every month, for 28 years. I have been very good to three women in my life and have no regrets to my decision to remain unattached. I've been having the time of my life.

Dating in Florida is a total blast !!

Becuase NPR ussually bring in representative from both sides of an issue left and right rather than Fox News and Link TV method of only bringing in one side of the arguement left or right. NPR is considered leftest only becuase they are left of the right but for a leftest NPR is actually slightly to the right of me

sure we have. Long term patters are called "climate" and the climate is changing at an alarming rate!

Sorry, had that beat into my head in meteorology class. (the weather vs climate thing)







In other words "Armageddon" ?

It has to have crossed the minds of every Christ believing person in the world by now. If not, it should have.

It's crossed mine too and even though I don't consider myself much of a bible thumper (actually very opposed to those), I can't help but see what is too blatant to dismiss.















Now that you're geriatric, you may as well go ahead and marry. After menopause, women mellow out real well. Men go (more) senile, women mellow out, that's what a good (heterosexual) marriage is made of LOL

I guess the good homosexual marriage would be both men going senile or both women mellowing out.

Just to keep it fair game.

menopause, menstration, menace, seems like most of the worst things start with men

And just what do Neilson's have to do with media bias?
