The long-winded drunk has been on a religious kick the last few mindless threads she's produced of which I have read. Seems it bothers her to have her exaulted leader called exactly what he is.
In this case, I'm going to answer her silly questions. Will she be able to comprehend it? Probably not. But at least she can't say she hadn't heard the truth from me.

Explain It Again - BUT ... REAL ... S-L-O-W ...
… ‘cause I’m having a R-E-A-L problem understanding the concept.
And that leads me to believe that one of two things is going on here: (1) I am extremely slow on the up-take, or (2) you are not making any sense.
I appreciate the whole our guy lost thing – a circumstance that, by its very nature, is bound to incite anger, encourage a desire for revenge, and lead otherwise decent and intelligent people to glut themselves on sour grapes to the point of losing all common sense – along with their sense of perspective.
But what I am still struggling to understand is this whole anti-Christ thingy that’s been attributed to Democrats and liberals for decades, an epithet now squarely aimed at our president-elect, Barack Obama, with a vengeance that I seem to remember – and please, correct me if I am wrong – was once His and His alone – or so sayeth, or speaketh, or whatevereth the Lord God Almighty (who some pseudo-Christians might still vaguely recall from some sermon they heard in a land long ago and faraway, in the time before Jesus and his teachings became available in the Xtreme DVD edition, complete with extras, out-takes, and behind-the-scenes footage never before aired in the churches of the nation) might have said, at one time or another, when the MSM wasn't there to report it.
The correct answer is #1.
Oh, and no anger here or with conservatives in general. Outrage and irrational anger is exclusively owned by liberals. And no reason for revenge from me. Just living my life normally and being happy everyday is enough to drive you Democrats/liberals crazy.
I can't speak for others, but that Dems/libs are in favor of abortion and homosexuality (among other issues of which the Lord has specifically identified as sin), which are a violation of God's Word, is enough for you to label yourselves as being against Christ. If BHO fits into that category, then he's the one who placed himself against God, not me.
Yep, still strugglin’ here – struggling to understand how speaking up for middle-class workers and their right to a decent wage is an affront to the Sermon on the Mount (and if you haven’t checked it out lately, it’s worth a second read).
Still struggling to understand how promoting affordable healthcare for every American is a direct slap-in-the-face to the Nazarene, who pointed out that we are our brother’s keeper – and whether we’d applied for the job or not, it was expected that we’d at least give the idea some serious thought – and maybe even a little bit of effort.
Still strugglin’ here – trying to comprehend how the same people who claim to love The Man (ya know, the one who admonished His followers that as they do to the least among them, so they do unto Him) can’t get their heads around the concept of feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless as something good Christians do and not as something you can slap the label of socialism on and dismiss out-of-hand, just because you’re looking for a loophole to crawl through without parting with a dime (and I’ll be damned if the right-wingers aren’t danglin’ that loophole – which has a strong resemblance to a noose – in front of every last greedy soul still lookin’ for a legal argument to present on Judgment Day.)
Still tryin’ – and not without a lot of effort – to comprehend how talking about diplomacy as a means to avert war, putting social safety-nets in place to catch the least among us, ensuring that an honest day’s work equals an honest day’s pay, encouraging dialogue rather than fingers-in-your-ears silence/ignorance, and promoting peace and understanding is anti-Christ behavior – but I am trying.
NG does her own version of
Mein Kampf. Let me help you with your struggle.
Taking care of your fellow-man, feeding the hungry, helping those who are ill, sheltering the homeless, seeking peace, etc... are all commandments from God for the
individual. Extending these commands to gov't is not even part of the equation. The teaching of Jesus Christ was not in view of gov't at all, he was not a political figure. His teachings are spiritual.
God isn't about the price of healthcare, or what minimum wage should be, or a social safety net. If you went your whole life not having any of these things, that still doesn't relieve you of the obligation God has set forth to help others as an
individual.
In other words, it doesn't matter what economy one might live under, whether it be democracy, socialism, a republic, communism, or even anarchy. It is my responsibility as an
individual to take care of my fellow-man, to feed the hungry, to help the sick, to shelter the homeless, and to seek peace. If in the end you stand before God and say that you did these things because "I paid my taxes to a gov't that did these things," you won't like the answer you receive in return from Him.
Maybe I’m the one who’s got it all wrong – and I am humble enough to accept that possibility. But it seems to me that putting our trust in the guy who is willing to encourage an entire nation – if not the entire world – to walk in the other guy’s shoes, and truly appreciate what he needs, is a step in the right direction.
It’s kind of like walking in the Shoes of the Fisherman – who some (but apparently not all) will recall from a previously-viewed videotape that is crying out for rewinding these days.
So just walk it – and stop talkin’ it down. Because what you’re talking is nonsense, and the way you walk is what is ultimately going to count.
And deep down inside, you know it.
No "maybe" about it, you definately got it wrong........... again.
Maybe to you BHO has "encourage(d) an entire nation – if not the entire world – to walk in the other guy’s shoes," but I've lived by that motto long before I ever heard of him, which is one reason I'm opposed to his positions politically. What I hear from him is the typical liberal motto of "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine." That's not really something I believe the world should be encouraged to do.
So to you DU lurkers, PM NG and direct her this way. And I invite her to come here and try and discuss this with me, because I'll hold her feet to the fire. And she knows it. And that's the very reason she won't leave the safe confines of the DUmp.
