I just have to say, this site is so damn much fun. There's always something interesting going on, in addition to the river of information inside. It's impossible to look at CBN for just a few…Continue

Thanks for the invite, I'll just make myself ta home.

Rant follows: What has happened to the traditional Christmas TV? I mean, I meen, I mean . . . I got cable with like over 100 channels and not once, that I could find, did any show "The Christmas Carol" w/Alister Simms, ya know, the English version. Not only that but the old MGM version was only shown once. "Miracle on 34th St" w/ Maureen O'Hara was only on once. Only on Nativity movie and one showing of each of the 2 versions of "3 Godfathers".

And I had to hunt for these. Use to be that these were all showen at least a couple of times during the week leading up to Christmas.

And horrors upon horrors, not even once was "Silent Night, Deadly Night" shown.

Go figure!

As far is the US Military is concerned...

You might as well call a butcher knife a "weapon". It isn't the tool, it's the one who wields it..... IF you have a beef, it's not with the soldier, sailor, marine or airman.... it's with the policy makers who direct them...

Either case, be glad that they are the best...... or, move to Memphis.....

the best,

Sam

Hey,

Isn't it Stan Musial is more important? (Die hard ST. Louis Cardinals BB fan).....

also, the fastest way to make folkies upset is to tell them that bob dylan is over-rated and that stan rogers was much more important.

also, maybe people wouldn't have felt the need to crash a plane into a building if not for global us imperialism, perpetrated in part by the us military?

that, and as long as one person controls another person, by any means, we're not free.
Comment by matt carroll on December 22, 2008 at 11:46am
"Freedom AIN'T free. God Bless the United States Military! It's only because of them that we have the luxury to spend our time thinking about things like music and building instruments for our own enjoyment . . . . or for that matter to be able to pass the time on the internet."

so if freedom isn't free, why are we spying on our own citizens? why do security guards get in my face when i take pictures from public property? why do law enforcement officials cyber-stalk my friends? why is a group that works to reclaim wasted food and feed the homeless considered a terrorist group? why does almost everyone i know have an arrest record?

Yes I am a miniswter of the gospel, but I don't push myself on them if I know they are hurting and I can send them a private e-mail to help in any way I will do so. They greatest power we have on this earth that Jesus left us is prayer. But not all prayers get answered when we want them they are answered according to how God/Jesus sees fit. And thats why so many get upset when they pray thinking thier prayers will get answered right away. Sorry it doesn't work that way. Want to know more private e-mail me rmorin@twcny.rr.com
Since everyone now knows that I am a minister of the gospel.
God Bless
