"I'm ashamed of my country"

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said Sunday that the U.S. handling of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine represents a "shameful" chapter of American history.

"I'm ashamed of my country, I'm ashamed of my president and I'm ashamed of myself that I haven't done more to help these people," McCain said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Well, I remember the drama queen, hissy-fit reaction by the right when Michelle Obama made the comment "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country" during the 2008 campaign.

http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000164722/polls_2008_02_19MSNBCMJMichelleO_4629_70657_poll_x large.jpeg

She later had to clarify her remarks by saying "What I was clearly talking about was that I'm proud in how Americans are engaging in the political process,"

Aamof, McCain's cheap floozy wife Cindy, was one of the first to jump all over Michelle's comments, by releasing a public statement saying "I have, and always will be, proud of my country."

Guess they'll all ignore this much worse anti-American comment by McCain.

Wrong. Because you see all of those items come from taxpayer dollars. And the Majority of taxpayers are not rich, they're not wealthy. Therefore, it is not the 1-2% who would open up their heart to willingly fund those programs, it would be the common taxpayer.

And since when would the rich be interested in funding Social Security for the elderly, poor and needy, and the retired, for one?

So your idea is to rob middle class working people to pay for deadbeat Obama voters who are too lazy to work?

The majority of taxes, as it relates to this conversation 'ARE' paid by the 'RICH' and 'Higher Income"!!! Well the top 10% that is, 68%. the top 1% pay 24% of all taxes!

So just the top 1% then. Do the math and consider the business I mentioned... 13%.

Those who pay 0...yeap. If you are talking of those who receive welfare, etc...yeap. But for average people that work & pay taxes...proportionally? If I pay $5.00 out of a very limited income, its more of hardship than someone who pays $500 out of a larger income.

http://images.sodahead.com/polls/000164722/polls_2008_02_19MSNBCMJMichelleO_4629_70657_poll_x large.jpeg

She later had to clarify her remarks by saying "What I was clearly talking about was that I'm proud in how Americans are engaging in the political process,"

Aamof, McCain's cheap floozy wife Cindy, was one of the first to jump all over Michelle's comments, by releasing a public statement saying "I have, and always will be, proud of my country."

Guess they'll all ignore this much worse anti-American comment by McCain.

Wonder if Cindy McCain will release another public comment letting us all know that, unlike her America-hating husband, she has & always will be, proud of her country.

John McCain is such an ass. Don't forget that Glenn Beckerwood threatened to burn the American flag to show how ashamed he was of President Obama.

The Ukraine has never been a country before and won't be one much longer. Their defenseless that Hanoi John is whining about is entirely their own fault. They never fought for their independence, so they don't deserve it.

That whole area has been dominated by Russia for 300 years, ever since Czar Peter the Great. Putin is trying to emulate him so Russia won't be a second-rate nation, which is why the Romanoffs expanded the Russian eminent domain in all directions in the first place.

Of course, but AA opened the door for her. Many "average" students never get the chance to grow and develop as she did. The point is, this great nation allowed her to have a great life and career long before her husband became president.

I had merely mentioned "thorn". That was it. But when you began talking "The kings crown .... " in reference to 'thorn', any good Christian would make an immediate connection in that it was being highly disrespectful of Jesus Christ as it was He, who as our King, was made to wear a crown of thorns. To respond with those terms would be blasphemous to many of us. Do you now understand why I took great offense to that? Of course if you are not a Christian you would not understand but I hope you do.

As a way of a little history on Christianity, a "crown of thorns" was placed upon the head of our King, Jesus Christ, as He was being taken by the Jews to His crucifixion at Calvary ready to die for our sins, taking all of them in our place. He bled profusely from the prickling crown of thorns. And He very much continues to be Our Heavenly King.

And Bob, even the subsequent posting party said you could have worded that better. You can say whatever you want about me but please do not make direct or indirect references to Jesus Christ as we Christians are highly sensitive about that. I just got very upset upon reading it. Thank you for your understanding.

Wrong! But you're right about one thing. Obama and the Dems do care about foreigners (and what they do to our economy), in fact, so much so that they are against exporting our American jobs overseas whereas that very prospect is eye candy for Republicans. Just look at Romney, for one, and there are plenty of Republican others.

Then why would they want people that came to America illegally to be able to stay and take jobs law abiding citizens?

Can't you at least see how Jesus could bleed to death given the Soldier nailed him with his spear? Plus you suffocate on a cross the way Romans did it. You think the tips of thorns caused you to bleed from the skin over the skull and you died from that? But the large spear did not cause bleeding? I believe in one of the gospels it says he was bleeding from the spear wound. How many times have you seen people with prickly wounds to the head bleed to death? I have never heard of that happening.

Bob, you're not listening to what I've been saying. First of all, the soldier could not have been able to nail Him with his spear. They used a hammer to crucify Him. The soldier did pierce Jesus' side with his spear and He bled but that did not cause His death in and of itself.

I never once intimated that Jesus died from the piercing of His crown of thorns. I mentioned the crown of thorns in context to what you had originally said that started this whole discussion. I would know better since I have studied that subject matter for many years and have doctorates in Divinity and in Religious Education.

Jesus died after being crucified and being on the cross in extreme agony for hours not because of the crown of thorns or the piercing on His side. He resurrected on the third day and remained on earth for a period of 40 additional days where He spoke with, walked with and ate with His apostles and other disciples who knew Him before He ascended into Heaven.

Understand this, and you will have a better appreciation for DiLorenzo's approach to capitalism and its cleansing powers.

People and markets proposer because we act in our own self-interest. Adam Smith was right and some label him 'liberal'. 'Liberal' means something quite different outside the United States. Those who equate Oliver Stone's "greed is good" mantra for capitalism are missing the point. "Greed" is "reprehensible acquisitiveness" and the beauty of capitalism is that the market speaks louder than government dictates or "greedy capitalists".

DiLorenzo writes with a clear, accessible style. While he is an accomplished researcher and academic, he discovers and disseminates knowledge for a much larger public than other academics. And he is brave enough to take on well-entrenched conventional wisdom, be it the nanny state or worshipful devotees of Abraham Lincoln.

DiLorenzo is part of the solution to the excessive political correctness rampant on many college campuses. Read this and open your eyes and mind. This is a nice companion piece to David Landes' "The wealth and poverty of nations: Why some nations are so rich and others so poor."

Interesting theory, Mac's pretty persistent though and you would think they'd slip up at least every once in a while.

all work & no play makes everyone bored. Besides, I remember a very successful diet program several (?) years ago called the Rotation Diet. The theory was that you tricked your metabolism ...you would diet a few days and then up your calorie intake a few days. Supposed to keep the body from adjusting the weight maintenance requirements. I remember it worked too.

result: Have a beer Mister D!

McCain flew combat jets in Vietnam, and was a POW, so no one doubts his patriotism.

So, this fail thread is fail.

But I don't even think you are dumb. Misguided, under-educated, slightly brain-washed,and a victim of the RWNM but not dumb.

Thank you for that rousing endorsement - sort of.

I believe you are smarter than the average Obama voter too.

its true we are both opinionated, you from the left and me from the right.

but the beauty of America is that everyone is entitled to an opinion.

They do a version of that in bodybuilding still. You use carbs to trick your body. Highs and lows over a specific cycle.

For all of his patriotism he sure has had poor luck getting elected each time he runs for president hasn't he? His just reward must be due to how much the American public believes in and appreciates this patriot and his policies. :)

That is a weak rebuttal when you allege I don't read your posts.

Frankly I wonder why you wonder off the reservation to lecture me on the 4 gospels.

Do you recall this?

http://biblehub.com/john/19-34.htm

I am not even trying to prove his death was due to the spear but a spear sure can cause you to die. It did a lot back in those days.

As to your education, I don't even try to dispute yours.

As you said, you went after me over my speaking of the crown in context of your man Obama.

You said you believed he died by the spear, but you need to look at the context of the verse you posted. Verse 33 of the same chapter said that He was already dead. This is before the piercing with the spear. This is why his legs were not broken.

Since we are just BS'ing, this is time for the Dale Emery story. Dale worked with me in piledriving. Dale was maybe 6-1 and you could see through him. He was strong though. Dale came to work daily with the largest grocery bag as his lunch tote. Dale ate all day long. I have gone to dinner with him and he ate a huge steak meal as I did. I was so full i could not hardly move. Dale said, time to eat. I was flummoxed.

I mention Dale by name since he once drove some very fast Dragsters. Dale owned one at a time. Last I heard, he was in TX and had suffered a heart attack. If somebody hears from Dale, let him know I am wanting to chat with him.

Is that how I phrased it? It is my recall that i said the thorns did not kill him, and that I believe is her claim. That two things could have killed him. The spear over the loss of blood and water. The suffocation due to the way the Romans mounted them on crosses.

Yes, you phrased it that way in post #151. I didn't notice anyone saying that the thorns killed Him, just that they caused bleeding. There are a number of theories as to what it was exactly that killed Him, but researchers are uncertain. In all likelihood, it was a combination of factors, in which the thorn crown did play a part.

Sorry but I believe he bled to death from the spear in his side. As to him bleeding heavily from the thorn crown is in dispute.

We Christians LOL

I am a Christian.

Because you did. I just bolded your own words. Scripture clearly says he was dead before the spear.

Medical examiner, Dr. Frederick Zugibe, believes Christ died from shock due to loss of blood and fluid, plus traumatic shock from his injuries, plus cardiogenic shock causing Christ’s heart to fail.

And your point? Nothing on that site agrees with what you said about believing he bled to death from the spear... In fact...


The spear released a sudden flow of blood (http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/blood.html) and water (John 19:34 (http://www.christiananswers.net/bible/john19.html#34)). Not only does this prove that Jesus was already dead when pierced, but Thompson believes it is also evidence of cardiac rupture.
