Re: Two US Cardinals Condemn Trump’s Assault on Refugees and Immigrants

Lee Potts — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:59:37 -0000

Uh, yes, inaccurate. Obama's OE was for one country, responding to one specific and plausible threat, it only impacted one type of visa (and refugees don't use visas anyway), didn't cherry pick counties that he didn't have business interests in, and was well vetted and not done unilaterally. It wasn't even a ban, it was a slow down while the vetting procedure was reviewed. Oh, and it wasn't also meant to be a demonstration of raw power and dominance. I think I was actually being pretty charitable when I used the word "mischaracterization."

To say the actions Obama took are similar to Trump's in this matter is a mischaracterization to say the least.

Can you provide a link to this story? I live in the Philadelphia area and haven't heard a peep about this and can't find a mention of it anywhere. I did find this on the local ABC affiliate's news site: "But police say interactions were largely peaceful. No arrests were made and only one person was cited with disorderly conduct."

That started for me on election night and hasn't gone away.

Been thinking about subscribing since the election and this was the final push I needed. Attempting to silence and control a critical press is not something you want to see from the new leader of a democratic nation.

That one makes my head hurt.

Re: An Open Letter to Pro-Life Catholics

Lee Potts — Sat, 27 Aug 2016 18:57:40 -0000

It seems to me that pro-life Trump supporters are hoping Trump might actually keep a campaign promise that he might have been sincere about and nominate a justice who might be approved by a senate that will most likely be hostile to him. And if the justice he nominates is confirmed, the hope is he or she might rule on the pro-life side. There's no guarantee of that as we have seen in the past. It seems like a lot to ask us non-Trump supporters to use these mights as the sugar to help the medicine go down. Disclaimer: I will not support Clinton either.

Sometimes I think people confuse being charitable with being nice.

Re: One Third Party Evangelicals Should Look at Seriously: The American Solidarity Party

There are two Facebook pages for the ASP. One is for folks who
formally joined the party. It was used extensively during the online
convention and is where party organizational activities continue to
happen. The other is a public information page open to
all: https://www.facebook.com/Am... .

Whoops, maybe I shouldn't have left a comment saying that they were mischaracterizing Mark. Personally, I can't find it in my heart to vote for either of them but there is no way that Mark is actively supporting Clinton by saying she could be considered (barely) the lesser of two evils and there certainly isn't any way he is for abortion.

Wow, I just stopped by that Facebook page. Having serious trouble wrapping my head around what I saw there.

Re: Joe Carter is More Optimistic Than I Am

Reading and believing in Rand (more Fountainhead than Atlas Shrugged because I was artsy) as an adolescent American male was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I was warned by a very wise professor but didn't listen. I'm convinced it set back my moral and spiritual development by years if not decades.

Wow, I'm not sure of some of these nasty comments are tongue-in-cheek or are just proving your point. Thanks for all you do Mark.

Here's another vote for Mint 16. I set up a dual boot with Windows 7 but hardly every find myself using it going back to the dark side.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

"If you want these low prices, then you go buy your products from Wal-Mart. But what does that actually do for this country? It's putting people out of work, that's what it's doing. And it's lowering our standard of living. That's the bottom line." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pag...

Small world, I read it for Lent every year. The John Cleese audiobook version is very, very good. He hits just the right tone.

Sorry, I actually think that's a spam comment that I didn't notice.

What do you do when you lose the only copy your paper to do list??

Not interested in hearing how impossible that is (since I live in reality, where people are forgetful, stuff gets left in hotel rooms, dropped, misplaced, stolen and eventual loss is guaranteed to happen) but honestly interested in how a businessman deals with the inevitable disruption caused by inability to retrieve records.

I'd been using RTM Pro for two years and tried Toodledo after reading this post. I really prefer the way Toodle works and switched over to it completely.

Hi Richard,

ZAP!!! is right. When I was in high school I worked as an assistant wedding photographer and I spend many a Saturday following the actual photographer around holding the slaved flash and I remember those cord well. I can easily see how what you described could happen.

Thanks for stopping by and for the comment.

Absolutely, the high ceiling and those window really open it up and make it very pleasant. We were lucky the sun came out yesterday.
