He's still...out looking...I guess his staff are still doing background checks on all churches in the area! He might accidentally find a church with the leader who is the cousin of the infamous Rev. Wright...or Wrong! I think it's all mostly for show....need those votes!

O all right, Buster. the thoughts were connected.
I admire James so much for the grace with which he handles difficult interactions and that remark really was addressed specifically to him. I frequently lack that grace myself. all the same, I'm really really glad you spoke up and got the moderators moving in on a really really tiresome situation. Again, thank you.

I hadn't seen that story, but I was researching biofuels and came across a biodiesel blog that discussed the Diesel Particulate Filter.
Now the question is, will Government Motors build vehicles that are biodiesel compatible?

Well, my goodness. Why do you want to silence someone if they say something that you personally disagree with? That is a bad attribute for a moderator to have.

Today is the first time I've been here and glanced over some of the previous posts.
First of all Lady is not trying to 'Silence' anyone - and disagreements are unavoidable. What Lady is 'stressing' is that WE - even if our views are wholly different in regards to Obama, Christianity, and all the other manners by which we as a civilization can find God and become an extention of the Spirit of Grace and Peace and Love - whatever the NAME of that religion may be.
THAT we should be able to communicate with one another regardless of our beliefs (or even a total lack of belief) without pointing fingers and throwing stones at one another.
James pointed out how he views Obama and the way Obama himself has identified himself with Christ.
If we respond by saying: 'How many times has he been to church' and the multitude of endless questions any of us can ask - in efforts to 'create stones' to throw at him - or one another -
It is only because some individuals are bent on stirring up problems; or some essentially live 'for conflcit'.
LADY is simply saying - 'Is it not possible for us to have FUN with one another and discuss any topic - no matter how widely our views may vary - WITHOUT ALL THE GARBAGE.
I believe that is possible - so let's show everyone how easy it can be.

... conceding that he has "fallen off the wagon sometimes."
"Am I a daily, a constant smoker? No," he said. "I don't do it in front of my kids. i don't do it in front of my family."
Obama said he was "95% cured" and compared himself to a recovering alcoholic
James,
Some questions about this:
1. Is there such thing as a 95% cured alcoholic? I thought alcoholics can't take a few drinks every once in a while and be OK.
2. Is the lesson here that it is OK if no one sees you do it?

If there is a way to tax it the government will build it.

I really think I should keep out of this, but I cannot do it! Just like I cannot quit smoking.
Birtch: good rumor, run with it!
McDuck: Anyone who smokes or has smoked knows that either you quit or you didn't. Obama hasn't quit. So moot point. It ain't easy and all of us will lie about it when asked. Five a day when he was smoking? I doubt it. Maybe five a day now. Being hypocritical? Yes he is, you smoke or you don't. When asked you say "yes" or "not since (insert day).
Now, if you want to raise issues about this I have some suggestions.
Dear James48843,
Since all federal facilities are now non smoking, and federal vehicles are also non smoking, where does the President go to smoke his cigarettes?
Many facilities, the one I work in included, have special areas for smokers commonly called "leper's colonies" by the ones using them. They are usually near HVAC equipment where it its hot, unshaded and noisy. But of course at least 50 feet from an air intake.
Some facilities, the one I work in included, also have "special" areas built in to them. The regional manager's office at this facility has a special outside door that goes to a small, fenced outside area. The incumbent doesn't smoke but past RMs did and most importantly, the one who approved the building plans did.
Does the white house have smoking areas for employees and does it have a special smoking area for the President? Does being president allow you to ignore the federal regulations about smoking in facilities? Does he smoke in government vehicles?
Bottom line: how much does a smoking area for the President cost the taxpayers?

Bottom line for me on this issue: I don't care if he smokes. He should respect the White House and not do it inside, but other than that, smoke 'em if you got 'em Barry!

It's been so many years since I smoked that now it's hard for me to even imagine letting that stuff in my lungs or in my mouth.
The one after sex is monumental - and few could ever compare. My wife of close to 27 years has never even taken a puff so the sex cigarette was quite awhile back.
When I did smoke I doubt anyone could have enjoyed them more than me. The very best for me was at the end of the meal - no matter what I had to eat or how good the meal was - it was that cigarette at the end that made the meal complete.
Ahhhh ... those were the days.
Good night allSimilar threads
