An edlerly lady said, "I have lived all my life as a good Baptist lady and I strive to live a christian life. "But all of our rightousness is as filty rags and but for the rightousnous of the blood of Jesurus and the grace we would have sinned and thus could never see heaven." "That is true." "What do you think about the DON"T ASK DON"T TELL" law imposed on the gays who are trying to protect us with their lives and some of them have given ALL? Can we deny them their Constitutional right to free speech on a morality issue when there are adulters, fornicators, men who look at women with lust in their eyes which Jesus said was adultry, liars, and most importantly those who do not treat their neighbors as themselves, yet they are not kicked out of the military?" " Yes, but I am not in the catagory of them (gays)." "Do you love your neighbour as yourself?" "No, I try but it is hard." "But you are saved and you have the rightousness of Christ's blood so all of your sins are forgiven , past, present and future." "but the gays continue in their sins and we are supposed to turn from our sins and try to live a sinless life." " Do you know anyone who do not break the commandment that says that we are to love our neighbors as our selves?" "No. You are right, it is hard to treat your neighbor as yourself, and I think noone ever does really keep that commandment so I quess the only way we will get to heaven is not by works but by grace and we all have the rightousness of Christ and gays will live next to us in heaven!" Do not violate the constitutional right of free speech to the gays who are serving in our military and do not be like the scribes and pharasees and look down on your nose at them. I am so proud of First Lady Hillary Clinton who is the epitimy of unconditional love and stand firmly with the gays as she understands that we are to love our neighbors and leave the judging to God. But we all who accept the blood of Jesus have the Rightousness of Christ and all of our sins are forgiven past, present and future. "He that is without sin cast the first stone," said Jesus as he wrote in the sand when the self rightous people wanted to stone the lady with seven husbands and living with one that was not her husband in adultry.
Dear Senator Boxer:
I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan not only for your stance on issues impacting women and girls, but also because you're courageous and know how to handle your colleagues and the press with sechel! (I hope I've spelled that correctly.) I used to live in the Bay Area but am now retired in Phoenix. I am a longtime feminist now getting very vocal in "cyberfeminism." Although there are many capable leaders in women's movement, none of them have the moxie you do, or the leverage. I'm writing to tell you that YOU'RE IT! Yes, dear Senator, You Are It. You are the obvious person to step forward and speak for women when current events focus worldwide attention on issues that disproportionately affect women and girls. In my review of the landscape, there is no one else who can take the podium or the microphone or the spotlight and do it as skillfully, as eloquently, and as powerfully as you can.I'm going to mount a campaign to put this idea out to online feminists, and I'll update you on where I'm posting and who else is weighing in on the issue. If you think that other members of Congress should take the podium with you, like Maxine Waters or another woman of color, I hope you will recruit them. If you think that there are men in Congress who should stand with you, please recruit them. Speak for women, Senator Boxer. You're it.
Like many of you, I am outraged that AIG is paying bonuses to employees that helped get them into trouble in the first place. In my mind, bonuses should be paid for work above and beyond expectation. That is why as I sign petitions and send letters to the editor about AIG, I am including this sentiment:
I believe the AIG bonuses should be returned, either by AIG itself, or by the individual recipients. If they do not feel the money should be returned to the federal government, then perhaps they would be willing to reward those soldiers, marines, and airmen who have deployed two or more times to Afghanistan and/or Iraq. Those are the individuals who have truly gone above and beyond their expected performance.
