Remember 1 if by land&2 if by sea. Tom Jefferson was correct, and if he was here he would be shot on the capitol steps.
Read my signature line.

Just one more thought before I get to work why are Christians so persecuted? We support the Jews and get hammered for it. We support removing vermin from the gene pool we get hammered for it. We support stamping out terrorism we get hammered for it. We support the traditional American family we get hammered for it, ect. ect., ect.
I could go on for hours, but I won't. Apologies to the Westboro Baptist church you need to read your Bible, God does not hate fags I'm on a rip now I'll come back later after I've used up my mad.

You're not persecuted. You're being treated like everyone else. So sorry if you don't like it.

This is a hate and violence filled post, IMHO. Doesn't sound Christian to me.

Just an example of two common problems with school administrators - not understanding shades of gray (student-led prayer is OK, school-led prayer is not), and kowtowing to loud parents. Luckily for you, your parents were louder. And, for that matter, correct on the first point as well.

The idea of those justices contemplating bong hits just . . . bongles me.

I'm going to get a t-shirt that says it. They didn't take away my right to proclaim it.

A slight diminishment if your special status must be so unpleasant...

We support the Jews and get hammered for it.

Support which Jews doing what? You can't "support the Jews". They aren't a hive mind with a single purpose.

We support removing vermin from the gene pool we get hammered for it.

You've found someone that Jesus wants you to kill, but the government won't let you?

We support stamping out terrorism we get hammered for it.

"stamping out terrorism" is fine, as long as the terms remain hazy. But it isn't a catchall excuse for any and all immoral and illegal activities.

We support the traditional American family we get hammered for it,

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and translate "support the traditional American family" as "make things difficult for gay families". I know that the two concepts are completely unrelated, but I gotta say, I don't think you do.

What? Didn't you get my thank you note? Support for Israel by Christians is not 'support for the Jews'. It is an attempt to fulfill prophesy. It's foreign policy's version of creationism. If Israel didn't happen to be sitting on top of the JLZ (Jesus Landing Zone) it would probably be as popular as Darfur.

Christians so persecuted?
