  1. "Barack, Sarah, and the Bible"

     

    by Jim Bramlett

     

    Dear friends:

     

    Barack Hussein Obama has taken the nation by storm. From obscurity, with zero executive experience, or much of any kind, he has vaulted into the position of Presidential frontrunner. It is stunning. On the surface, it appears attributable only to his eloquent oratory and his race. But an invisible factor may be a strong spiritual force behind him, causing some people to actually swoon in his presence.

     

    I have been very concerned that he has publicly said that he does not believe Jesus is the only way to heaven. This makes both the Bible and Jesus a liar, and it means that Christ has died in vain. A person cannot be a true Christian who believes that there are other ways of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life with God. Only Jesus has paid the price for that.

     

    Therefore, there is, indeed, another spirit involved. And this spirit has come into our national life like a flood. Last week at Obamas acceptance speech, that spirit exalted itself in front of a Greek temple-like stage, and to a huge audience like in a Roman arena. Obama was portrayed as god-like. His voice thundered as a god's voice.

     

    At the end, Democratic sympathizer Pastor Joel Hunter gave the benediction and shockingly invited everyone to close the prayer to their own (false) gods. This was surely an abomination, but it was compatible with Obamas expressed theology, and Hunter's leftist leanings.

     

    God was not pleased.

     

    And God says, When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. (Isaiah 59:19)

     

    Enter Governor Sarah Palin. With incredible timing, the very next day, Sarah Palin also appeared out of nowhere. Her shocking selection as John McCains running mate stunned the world and suddenly took all the wind out of Obamas sails.

     

    We quickly learned that Sarah is a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian, attends church, and has been a ministry worker.

     

    Sarah is that standard God has raised up to stop the flood. She has the anointing. You can tell by how the dogs are already viciously attacking her. But they will not be successful. She knows the One she serves and will not be intimidated.

     

    Back in the 1980s, I sensed that Israel s little-known Benjamin Netanyahu was chosen by God for an important end-time role. I still believe that. I now have that same sense about Sarah Palin.

     

    Today I did some checking and discovered that both her first and last names are biblical words, one in Hebrew the other in Greek:

     

    Sarah. Wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. In Hebrew, Sarah means noble woman (Strongs 8283).

     

    Palin. In Greek, the word means renewal. (Strongs 3825).

     

    Only God knows the future and how she may be used by Him, but may this noble woman serve to bring renewal in the land, and inspiration.

    BAH BAH BAH........

  2. If we would have stayed in Vietnam long enough we could have killed enough people to win the war. Same as Iraq however in order for us to to win that war Pakistan is going to have to crack down on the Taliban and Al Qaeda which I don't see happening anytime soon.

     

    Although the Vietnam War did not achieve it's overall goal it did have some accomplishments. The military of North Vietnam had been improved, enabling it to defend itself against neighboring countries such as Cambodia and Red China. The war also introduced Eastern Culture to Western ways, laws, and trade practices that helped it to enter the world of trade and commercialism in the 21st Century.

     

    You apparently know little about war, either historically or in its present incarnation. From your postings, you know particularly little about the Vietnam War; which means you know even less about our present wars, as the philosophies that caused them were spawned by our defeat in Vietnam.

     

    War is a tool of foreign policy; to 'win' one you must achieve a desired political goal. "Killing enough people", even if that were remotely possible during the Vietnam War, which it was not for a variety of reasons (although we certainly killed plenty), is not a political end and therefore does not constitute winning unless it is a war of extermination. Now, you may be in favor of the U.S. committing genocide; most of the rest of us are not.

     

    Nearly all serious historians agree that we could not have 'won' the war in Vietnam under any military circumstances. The war was politically unpopular from early on and became more so as it dragged on. It probably could have been conducted differently had we not been a democracy, but then again giant spaceships could have landed and taken us all to the Forbidden Planet, too. The U.S. fundamentally misunderstood the situation from the beginning, mistaking a civil and anti-colonial war for a communist insurgence, so it's mission was unclear at best and non-existent during the worst phases. The only way the U.S. could have 'won' in Vietnam would have been to heed Ho Chi Min's plea for independence in 1946 (communicated through several letters to Truman) and help them negotiate it with the French at that time. Instead we actually forced the French to hand their failed colonial war over to us so that we could re-shape it into a struggle against communism. At the time, less than 20% of Ho Chi Min's movement was communist, but that % grew, of course, as America's Cold War rivals began to support the Viet Min. It just got worse from there.

     

    By the time the 60s rolled around, Vietnam was already an unsolveable clusterfuck for the U.S. It was a human tragedy of immense proportion that we did not recognize and act on that realization until the mid 70s.

  3. According to a storm of media reports, Palin's first interview has already fired a torpedo amidships into McCain's campaign. It's energized the Dems, and conservatives who have half a brain are seriously questioning his judgement, and rightfully so.

     

    The woman's a joke. I predict, as I have for quite some time now, that McCain will go down in a landslide. Palin's the boat anchor that will ensure his place in Davey Jones' Locker.

    I was in shock when Bush won a secoin trem,lost $20.00 to a Bush lover,who now is a Bush-basher for Ron Paul!! "McCain will go down in a landslide? I'm not putting money down for or against!!

    But hope your right!

  6. i don't think it did, it's just a question that you didn't answer.

     

    Then why did your original message say, " America Deserved What It Got" from 7:51 pm until 12:45 am?

     

    yeh, i actually think the individuals deserved it. give me a frickin break. this wasn't a full on troll. this shit could and proly will happen again in some form or another. and i didn't post "America deserved what it got" you block head. is was in the form of a question jerk wadd. i changed the wording because i didn't want anyone to think i thought we did. so scott get your quotes right big boi. funny what strikes nerves around this place and what doesn't.

     

     

     

    i apologize if i offended anyone, it was not my intention. just wanted some honest answers from the board.

    I think your question was good and not offending,the fact that we

    the USA Gave Iraq 8 billion in arms to fight Iran and 2+ billion to

    the freedom fighters to drive the Russians out of afghanistan,its

    like we used them when it was favorable to us,and can't understand
