Thanks for posting about Phil Donahue. I have not followed him, except sm
Posted By: Democrat on 2005-09-25
In Reply to: It might help if you actually read my post before so inaccurately - Hmmmmmmmmmmm
way back when when he had his talk show I loved to watch.
I agree with you, the site posted does not prove he is an atheist. I would have to hear it from his mouth to believe it.

Phil Donahue is the man. Had Bill O'Reilly shaking in his boots.nm
He makes good points and the only thing you get from his stance is that he doesn't want to fight the taliban, which is unfortunate for you NOT true.
Give a quote where he says the US should not fight the taliban.
So if Donahue had a best selling book he would be credible?sm
That's the right-wing way, get loud and obnoxious (Ann Coulter)and write a book and make $$$$ trashing liberals.
This is the site you fraudulently tried to pass off as the *truth* about Donahue. Sheesh!

ABOUT US
Our Mission
Our mission is to lead people to Jesus and help them grow in their relationship with Him. We strive to deliver compelling evidence for the Christian faith to seekers, believers, and a skeptical world. We seek to be non-threatening, practical and informative, using the technology of the Internet to answer tough questions about God, Jesus Christ, the Bible and Christianity.
Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV
Our Faith Statement
Although our ministry style often caters to wary skeptics, our group's foundation is based on solid, fundamental Christian doctrine.
Therefore, We Believe
The Bible is the only inspired Word of God – a supernaturally integrated set of 66 books, written by 40 authors, over nearly 2,000 years.
God created all things – from the massive cosmos to the microscopic cell.
We were created in God’s image, yet we were all corrupted and estranged from God after Adam fell into sin. The sin of Adam was the entry point of all sin, as well as physical and spiritual death on Earth.
God exists as three distinct personalities, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God who fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies when he took on human flesh, through the miracle of the virgin birth, and came to Earth as the promised Messiah.
Jesus died a physical death on the cross as the ultimate love sacrifice and act of grace, which allows all who believe in Him to be cleansed of sin by His blood and have a renewed, eternal relationship with God.
Jesus rose from the dead as the ultimate sign of his deity. He ascended to heaven, with the ultimate promise of his return to Earth as our just and mighty Lord. We constantly strive to be a Spirit-filled ministry, regularly praying and seeking God's guidance for our activities. We remind each other daily that this is God's work, not ours.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 KJV

Thank you, Dr. Phil. :-) nm

Who said anything about Dr. Phil?
For starters, I did not author the original "classical psychopath" post, which Backwards Typist (BT) automatically assumed applied to her instead of the governor (who, by the way, IS a classic psychopath). But I did find the knee-jerk paranoid reaction rather intriguing, so I decided to respond, as is customary on this forum, while exercising 1st amendment rights.
Now here you come along to defend BT and, as is your usual style, you have conflated the situation way beyond the original context, to now include "whatever opinions expressed on this board that don't agree with" mine. Since I was not the original poster and my reply was a response to BT's own paranoid conclusion (and not an original premise of mine), the connections you are trying to make here are, shall we say, rather void of logic.
It does not take a Dr. Phil to look up a simple definition and apply it to a given context. There is nothing particularly judgmental in doing so, especially in light of the fact that I never claimed to be any sort of expert. It is merely an exercise in intellect and logic, concepts which, on more than one occasion, have seemed to cause you to go ballistic, as you are now demonstrating.
If you are so tired of my alleged "holier-than-thou" attitude (your perception, yet not my intent) and condescension, you could always opt to skip my posts and save yourself some aggravation, since you seem to think they are identifiable by my yellow-bellied choice to use sentence form in the name and subject box instead of the more "regular" habit of employing a consistent moniker. You seem to be pretty good at identifying your least favorite poster on this forum, despite the fact that I am not the only one who fails to meet your strict standards of always using a "regular name." I have my reasons for posting in this fashion, but do not necessarily feel compelled to defend or explain myself to you, other than to say that I've BTDT and did not enjoy being stalked by sam night and day for weeks on end when I did use a nick-name. I certainly do not think the tired, worn-out right-wing fringe mantra of "do you have something to hide?" merits further comment.
By the way, as long as we are nitpicking over apostrophe placement, you might want to run spell check on your posts next time, unless you think "been" is spelled "bene". Having a built-in editing tool comes in handy and only takes a few seconds. Wish we had that back in the dark ages in 1974 when I first started transcribing.
Things tend to get a bit murky at this point. When trying to admonish me for having a "lot of nerve speaking for anyone but" myself, you probably should eliminate the part where you are "so sure there are others" who think I am heavy-handed and rude, MS sm......m, or whatever your regular name is. I have no difficulty "owning" my opinions, but am not really interested in engaging with posters who use raw emotions and juvenile catch phrases as a substitute for thoughtful, well researched political debate. If you are ever in the mood to actually confront a real political issue head-on, back up claims with fact and express intelligent conclusions in place of whining, blowing things out of proportion and taking things WAY too personally, I would be more than happy to accommodate.
Well, thank you, Dr. Phil.........sm
Whatever opinions expressed on this board that don't agree with yours are now considered psychopathic and have markers of antisocial behavior and lack of conscience. What gives you the right to pass such judgment on anyone?
Personally, I am a little tired of your holier-than-thou attitude and condescending mannerisms that you have displayed consistently since you have bene posting here without having the intestinal fortitude to sign your posts with a consistent moniker. I'm sure there are others who think your brand of criticism is rather heavy-handed and rude. Now, let's (and it is spelled with an apostrophe, which you would know if you were an MT) think about what that says about your personality type.
Most regular posters on this board use a regular name in posting so we can tell who we are conversing with. You, on the other hand, choose not to. Do you have something to hide? Are you afraid to "own" your own opinions because subconsciously you know you are somehow deficient or inconsistent in your opinions and afraid that you will be called on it? You seem to gain a great deal of satisfaction in elevating yourself to a position of false piety and have no conscience in doing so. And don't bother saying that no sarcasm is intended because each and every one of your posts literally drip with sarcasm. You have a lot of nerve speaking for anyone but yourself.
Hey, Dr. Phil......(sm)
Not even close....LOL.
Like Dr. Phil Says...and it's true:
"Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing." It matters not what y'all think of Dr. Phil.
If you had the truth on your side, wouldn't you produce it?
Enough said.
That's funny - on Dr. Phil?
You would think he would be able to help her!!! LOL!!!
Phil Berg for Hillary?
Philip Berg is/was an avid Hillary Clinton supporter and filed his motions before the Democratic Convention, didn't he? Besides, the court has not made any demands on Obama to produce anything. He released his birth certificate and the Hawaiian birth announcement, nothing more is required.
Also if you check Obama's official website, you'll see that Michelle Obama has a busy campaigning schedule while her husband is in Hawaii. I don't know, but I don't think it's too strange to think that she may have felt it was important to continue campaigning during his absence at such a crucial time.
I think Dr. Phil is kind of a bully.
Oprah and Ellen, and Dr. Phil
are not in a position to force the rest of us to share our wealth, punish us if we do not, while keeping their wealth for themselves. Not a good comparison at all.
Oprah is on record saying that (even with her multi-millions) she does not just hand money to individuals who tell her they need it. Why should she think that would help someone who obviously failed to take care of their own money? They want money? They can go make it the hard way, as she has. (Then she supports Obama. Go figure!)
Obama is more like the minister who preaches fidelity, while having affairs with his parishioners. He's someone who says that to help public schools, all children should have to attend them (except his own.) Lectures on the evils of tobacco, raises taxes on it, while sneaking cigarettes. Gets his own sweet deal on a mortgage, supports the bailout of deadbeats, yet penalizes those who have been responsible with their money. Criticizes company executives for use of corporate jets, then flies on his own jet to Arizona just to sign a bill.
Get the picture? ''Do as I say, not as I do.''
This proves that Phil Berg is a hardhead who
twice failed legal action. So you still have presented nothing that back up your claim that this is still on the docket. By the way, ever heard of frivolous lawsuits. They are not confined to medical malpractice, dontcha know?
Did you ever wonder why most Democrats in politics don't embrace people like Phil.
or should I cally him Phillie. There are some far leftist Democrats that no Democrat worth their salt wants to be hooked up with. Phil is one of them. He has a long list of hates, some of which include cops. He hates them. If you remember his shows from eons ago, he had several shows about them. No politician worth his salt has someone like that on his ticket. Think about it. When was the last time you saw Phil with a politician?
why are you posting here?
I believe in personal responsibility. I dont believe you or the govt have a right to tell anyone what to do with their body. If my choices are wrong, I will stand in judgment when I meet my maker. I also dont follow in lock step with an administration that lies to the people about Iraq. Supporting our troops and not falling for lies about this illegal war are two different things. Yes, it is an illegal war. The world realizes this. The International Court of Justice realizes this. Of course, I support our troops and want them home. Believing in God is a personal decision and should not be shoved down others throats. I believe in separation of church and state, do not mix religion and politics. I dont believe we should have the state and/or president intervening when a spouse wants to let someone pass whose brain is half the size of a normal brain, living only due to rudimentary reflexes and I certainly do not think they should waste my tax dollars on trying to tie the hands of the spouse. These republicans/conservatives are way out of control in so many ways. It would be quite laughable if it wasnt so pitiful. I believe this is not a Christian country but a country with many religions and beliefs and I respect the people enough to let them choose what to believe. Seems to me nowadays democrats are acting like the way republicans used to, i.e., keep govt at a minimum and out of personal business, keep the budget balanced or as close to balance as possible. Republicans/conservatives are so off course right now. They are trying to invade into the states rights and personal rights. They have waged an immoral illegal war, my children and my childrens children will be paying to reduce this massive deficit, caused by republicans. Yes I oppose **liberating** other countries who dont ask us to help. Who the heck do we think we are, invading a soverign country and pushing our beliefs and religion and morals down their throats? Iraq is worse off today than it was under Saddam. Under Saddam, they had jobs, food, electricity, a life of certainty and definitely not lawlessness in the streets. We have killed tens of thousands of Iraqis with the excuse of liberating them. We have created a terrorist breeding ground and it will continue. The minute we kill off terrorists, their sons and daughters will rise up and fight back. We are just as bad as Saddam with our sickening war machine.
Thanks for posting this.
that's what it's all about.

In an odd sense of.....oh...whatever, please continue to post here. No one wants you not to (gosh, it must be the green tea Im drinking this morning). *note to me, get rid of that darn republican green tea*..
Not posting here
What is it about this issue that makes you people think that anyone finds YOU to be a threat to the point where you are all suddenly retreating and saying you won't post here any more???????????
The problem is with the breach of security on this site. Unless you're the owner/moderator/administrator, this does not apply to you personally.
This issue should have been brought to the forefront on the company board a week ago when this incident happened, but I guess too many people were shocked by the blatant lack of ethics and the not so subliminal message that if anyone says anything negative about this company, your ISP will be tracked, and at that point, I, along with probable others, was afraid to post anything further.
why do they keep posting here?
For the life of me, I dont understand why these same bitter so angry conservatives come over to the liberal board and post. They are not wanted here. I guess the anger just builds up as they try to live their obviously unhappy lives and when they cant stand it any more, they come over here to start trouble. It just bugs the heck out of them that we are patriotic, love the troops and want them home alive. Some of these radical neocons actually say the troops are fighting for our freedom and freedom of speech? What? The war in Iraq has nothing to do with our freedom or freedom of speech. They will just throw anything out there to try to justify Bush's war. They sound so silly, just makes me shake my head and laugh. A bunch of fools.
Wow, thanks for posting

Thanks for posting.
I really like Paul Krugman.
Thank you for posting this.
And thanks Lurker for writing it. Lurker brought up many, many valid issues and good points. I wonder why nobody on that other board even bothered to address those issues.
There was someone posting here sm
In fact several, and I thought one of them was you, who were listing lots of links that Bush engineered 9/11. I guess I was mistaken, but someone was posting it here.
Thank you for posting this!
My heart was really heavy...was I was not aware of this stance until this thread began. It is indeed heartening to know this. Thanks again!
Thanks for posting
I think you made my point better than I did when I was discussing this. I don't think it was always clear exactly how the program worked. From what I had read, the basics of the program were staying essentially the same - that the states had the control over who they covered. The only things, at least from what I saw, that the expansion did was allow the federal government to raise their limit (which states do not have to necessarily comply with, it just gives the states more options), collect more income for the states' programs, and allow more agencies to help decide eligibility. Everything would still essentially be in the states' hands.
Thanks for posting that
That's the sort of stuff I was looking for. The article I read was obviously skewed the other direction. In a way, I think it makes me like him more. There are so many people in this country who are completely turned off by politics. They see it as a bunch of rich white men controlling their lives. Because he is so candid about his past, I think there will be a large number of people who feel that they can relate to him better than any other candidate.
It sounds a little crazy to say, but I think his honesty will help him.
Thanks for posting!

Hey sam....thanks so much for posting....sm
I knew you could explain it much more succinctly than I could.
Thank you for posting that. sm
Loved it!
Thanks for posting! nm

Thanks for posting
I'm not meaning to start a riot either but my opinion, this nation was founded on the principal that "In God we Trust." We are no longer a Christian nation. God blessed this nation for 200+ years, then we allowed Him to be kicked out and look where we are today. Again, this is MY opinion.
Thanks for posting this, Sam.

Thank you for posting this!
I am a Christian and have been struggling this past month, maybe the economy, maybe just myself feeling that I've not been doing all He wants me to. There is no ridicule from me; I agree with you totally and I am so glad you posted this. I've noticed a couple of posts where there is this misconception that Christians think we are better or something.
Christians - By Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
Thank you for posting...
Unfortunately, there are too many people who do not seem to want peace and tolerance. The next leader has to be able to rise above this, but I think your 11-year-old son is very insightful. Lets hope he is wrong, huh?
Take care...and God protect us all
thank you for posting this ---
I have already voted, so this could not change my decision one way or another, but I was interested in knowing what was said first hand and not just reading about it second hand.
After watching this video, it is clear to me that he was not saying that he was Muslim - it was not a slip of tongue - he meant to say that questioning whether or not he was Muslim had not ever came out of John McCain's mouth. He even corrected GS when he tried to correct him...
I for one do not believe that Obama is a Muslim, practicing or nonpracticing, but at the same time, this country is built on diversity, being free to practice what religion you choose - as long as the President is not pushing his faith down your throat, mandating that it is the only right religion, what should it matter anyway what his/her faith might be? Why is it even an issue?
I am a Christian, but everyday I report to a boss that is not a Christian and I have no problem with that - she does not tell us in her employ that we have to practice her faith, and she does not keep us from practicing ours. When Bush got elected, he did not say that we all have to start being Methodist, but I don't see the Baptist protesting him because he is not Baptist, and the Church of God protesting because he was not Church of God, or the church of Christ protesting becaue he was not church of Christ.
Thank you for posting this.
I will be sending this to everyone I know and posting it on my myspace page. I want to get the word out to anyone and everyone about how big of a joke Obama really is. Nothing is for free and all his supporters are mesmerized by his preaching of hope and change and getting something for nothing......they are so mistaken. Nothing is for free! This is nothing bot socialism and giving money to people who don't work for it. Makes me sick!
Thank you for posting this -- sm
I'm going to share this with my DH tonight. We have discussing this election over and over and haven't been able to come up with a clear choice. Our biggest concern is the economy. Yes, I care about national security, but I think there are enough advisors on either campaign to handle that. What affects me most is money. Up until this point, we (DH and I) have been leaning to the left because it sounds like O's plans would be more beneficial to us. However, after reading this, I'm not so sure anymore. My husband and I work very hard to support our 3 kids and afford a nice home, vehicles and extras. The last thing I want is someone taking that away from me and giving it to the welfare group. They get enough breaks as it is.
I've said this numerous times -- McCain should be raising these issues in a better light, not counting on his supporters to find it. It's sad because I fear it may be too late already. Sometimes I think MC doesn't want to win this election.
Thanks for posting this :)

Wow! Thanks so much for posting that! nm

Thank you for posting
It is informative. I learned some things.
Thank you for posting this.
I have the same feelings about it and I just hope come election day, Americans will think about all of those things when voting. I had tears in my eyes yesterday worrying about it and I just can't for it to be over. I pray about it everyday.
So many are hateful with Bush and the last 8 years. He was by no means perfect but we didn't get attacked again and I am grateful for that. He imposed tax cuts which helped me greatly. I am so sick of Obama tying McCain to Bush. They are 2 different people. People are craving change so much, but at what price??? They will get change for sure. It will be the beginning of the end of democracy as we know it.
Don't forget, Kerry was ahead in the polls in 2004 and didn't win.
Thanks again for your post. Glad to know I am not alone in my feelings about this whole thing.
Yes - thank you for posting
this is a very important election and there are fears regardless of who gets in but my fear is much more when I think about Obama winning. I was thinking last night how sad it is that our country is so divided, some say I'm just paranoid, but I fear a civil war here in the US after election day.
I agree that Obama is mesmerizing. He tells us all what we want to hear. When I watched his 30-minute ad, I actually found myself thinking "wow"... that ad was brilliant on his part but scares me how many people actually bought into it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :)
Keep posting
Bots gotta wake up. This lady is from inside the camp herself. She saying what we all knew was going on. It's all phony and deceitful. Hope? Hope nobody will find out. Change? Change for the worst.
Listen to the people in campaigns. Obama never fooled me (well actually he did when he was running against Hillary and I voted for him), but glad I'm among the ones who have awoken.
why are u posting?
No one on here has infringed on your right to disbelieve. We are not calling you out on your disbelief. We are stating what we know to be the truth in our lives. That is a statement, not an infringement. So far as I know, no one has yet taken away our Christian rights to go tell it on the mountain. If I want to yell it from the roof tops that Jesus is real and he saves, if I want to write it all over this internet, if I want to scream it out on the streets all over the US, I have that right. It is my freedom to say what I believe, what I think on here. If you dont like the posts then it is your right not to read them. Dont come on here and insinuate that someone is infringing on your rights. I am sick and tired of everytime someone posts something about Jesus, someone else gets on here and starts whinning about how their rights were stepped on. So society tries to make us shut up, but in turn you are stepping all over our rights.

I never even thought about this. That's a really good idea to be prepared, and I'm actually going to start stocking up on stuff like this. I'll have to read about the depression more to learn how they got through it and follow suit.
Thanks again!
Thanks for posting this.........sm
I had been looking for that quote but could not find it as I could not remember who said it.
Thanks for posting this
The question of McCain's qualification to run for president was no more of an issue to me than that of Obama. Why presumably intelligent people on this board would keep it going is far beyond my comprehension.
Thanks for posting this, Dee. ............nm
How do you know she isn't posting under a different name?

Thanks for posting that.
I looked on Congress.org and they listed all the yeahs and nays, but didn't say where they were from except those that shared the same last name.
