Wasn't it two Lawyers for the Justice Department quit and spoke out against the White House telling his boss to do nothing? I believe, this was on a Coast-to-Coast show and in the newspaper last month.
I wonder what the Justice Department would have done if two Klansmen, in full white sheets, had stood at a voting booth and threatened black voters. And if one of the KKK guys had said something about killing black babies if the networks would have reported it.

A tape has now turned up where New Black Panther Minister King Samir Shabazz, one of the two charged with voter intimidation, rants before a small crowd: “You want freedom. You’re gonna have to kill some crackers. You’re going have to kill some of their babies.”

Why is this man not being charged with a hate crime? Why is this man allowed to encourage violence? I thought the Bill of Rights allowed free speech but not when one urged people to commit horrible crimes.

Never heard of it.
If the mother is a member, and the father is not, can he deny the mother the right to take the kids to church? I cannot remember where I heard it. I did hear that either parent can stop the other from taking minor kids to church. If divorced that is different.

I heard that a non-member mother can deny the member father the right to take the kids to church with him. Is that true?

Don't do anything you would not do if her parents were setting with you in the living room.

We need to see our wards as extended families. Lonliness hurts and I bet there are a lot of lonely people in all our wards right now.

You never know just how lonely people may be around you.

You have to be a little careful about Alex Jones. He sounds great, but fairly often his information is not well-researched, and he's always crying that the sky is falling.
And Noah...?
Here is a good argument that The Law of Consecration is superior to any other system.
I believe the future is coming fast.

With God, nothing is impossible. The adversary wants you not to believe you can grow and develop, while our Heavenly Father offers hope. When you are doubting the ability to follow the path of God remember, those doubts are not from God. Fear and faith cannot occupy the same space.

I am hoping that wards and stakes can pull together in this capacity to help those in the Church family out, should a major sustained disaster occur. I do have some trepidations that rugged individualism may kick in and people will adopt an every man or family for themselves attitude, in which the principle of dog eats dog occurs. What a test this would be of those who are really on the path of Jesus.
I have a testimony of the restored Gospel and believe that we, as a body of believers, will come together. It will not be overnight. this is not a Hollywood disaster movie. People are already hurting in almost every ward in the USA. Maybe this is the issue for us to reach out first to our less active family members. We then need to reach out to our commmunities. Can we avoid another depression? I do not know. It is best to prepare just in case. The warnings on the wall give little to justify optomism for the national economy. What does count most I believe is what happens with us and if we can weather this.

Well not exactly. Polygamy was done away with in the first and second manifestos, along with not allowing polygamists to enter the Temple in the mid-1920s.
Don't know the exact status of Vampirism. However these would not be regular Mormon Vampires. They would be Fundamentalist Vampires.
They would need to sleep on the native soil of Provovania, even if they were to relocate to Caldwell, Idaho.
Try writing a book :)
Here is an odd take in your plot. If they had been LDS polygamists in the late 1800s, and then tuned by a vampire, then why would they have to be fundamentalists? They would be under the pre-manifesto rules and could even hold callings I think.

I am a little more motivated to get food storage now. In priesthood the subject came up for a few minutes because a shipment of wheat is coming in next week. Poople can can it and it will last for years. then I came home and someone had sent me this video.
I do not know much about this man but he makes sense. The state I am in is closing things down daily and shortening the school year to save money. Unemployment is going higher and higher and the sate has no clue where to get money. And no, I do not live in California.
When 9-11 took place the economy took a huge hit. We were relatively healthy then. What happens if something hits now (look at the oil spill). We are vulnerable. And then what about President Packer's warnings last year?
I think it is time to take inventory and come together as families and extended families and form an emergency plan just in case. We need to pull together.

With all the talk of conservatism and liberalism, I wonder...what was Theodore Roosevelt? I think if anything he was a nationalist, which has a nasty connotation with corporations and the elite today. When Roosevelt looked at a policy he asked who it helped and who it hurt. He wanted the greatest good for the greatest number of people. If alive today he would not support a lavish welfare system nor would he support predatory capitalism. He would not think that letting jobs flow to sweatshops overseas was justified yet he still supported government policies that encouraged marriage and family and supported national health care.
It would be nice to have someone who looked at every policy in the USA and asked, "Will this help the little guy?" I do not think many in either party think that way today.

My passion for my husband is for who he is. He is a good, kind, wise, intelligent, decent man.
Write down all the things you love about your wife, take away the pictures. Tell them to yourself. And go from there
Like is way more important than love, love is what keeps the marriage together when you don't like each other very much.
The other possibiity is you are gay.
I like the way you present the Christian view of love. Love is for the person, not what they can do for you. I fear modern society has made love something that is earned. Once we make love something you have to earn (based on looks, money, popularity) you build your marriage on a foundation of sand. Once someone's looks go, or someone loses their job, then the marriage will be doomed. I fear this happens in LDS temple marriages too.

Abe Lincoln once said we are about as happy as we decide to be. I think that applies to marriage too. If we take inventory of how blessed we are, rather than think about the one that got away, we will be much happier.
I have seen families where a couple marries just out of high school The man is basically a nerd, but once he hits his thirties he suddenly looks handsome. Maybe his wife by then just looks like a 30-something nerd. Then the guy feels the temptation to take advantage of his looks. It does not turn out happy when this occurs and the man feels entitled to feel like he is in high school again.
Remember what happened to David due to his longings. The Prophet Nathan chastized him for taking another man's wife even though God had blessed him with six wives already. Maybe Bathsheeba was more stunning than David's other six wives? Be caeful brother.

This is part of a problem mankind has faced since Adam and Eve entered the Lone and Dreary World.
One wonders if Lilith would add Adam to her "Friends" on Facebook and if Eve would object.

The answer is simple then. Invade mexico, make it a State, and all their citizens US citizens. No more illegal immigrants, as they are all Americans now. Instantly makes the problem of mexican illegal immigrants go away.
We did that in the 1800s, invade and occupy all of Mexico. The reason we gave it back was that Lincoln and other Republicans did not want Mexico to become a bunch of slave states. They were below the Mason-Dixon Line. It would have given the south an advantage in the senate. The reason there are so many Germans in the mid-west is because the Republicans gave them free land to settle there. They were against slavery. They would elect anti-slavery senators. So the only way we could have made everyone happy would have been to conquer Canada and keep Mexico. It would have changed world history to be sure.

Get rid of the anchor baby thing. It is time we amend the constitution and require one parent of a child born in the USA to be a citizen or have permanent residency. There are illegals here sho have given birth to 7 or 8 kids that are now officially American. Take that away.
And by the way, there are people in my ward in their 50s and 60s who have been out of a job for 2 years. And their unemployment is running out this summer. They are willing to do any work at all to keep mortgage payments. Many have applied at places their children have worked for but been turned down. Why on the earth do we need any guest workers excpet maybe in agriculture? We need to get to 0 unemployment here in the US of A and then we can talk about guest workers.

Anyone read that terrorists might try to hide chemical explosives in women's breasts? Same principle as the jell stuff, just that it would be explosives that could be drained and used for destroying a plane.

Okay, my take. If I flew an American flag and a Scottish flag together on the 4th. to me that would show patriotism plus connection to my roots. The same would be true for a Danish flag and an American flag. So no problem with an Italian flag if it flies with an American. A Mexican flag WITH an American flag would be okay. A Mexican flag alone sounds like reconquista.

I suspect the Gubernator has cut his own pay - he has money...now for others of the same office, they should receive the same pay scale.
I agree though, Calif is sinking...just as fast as the Titanic did. It is matter of time to declare the obvious - bankruptcy. I wonder when the feds will do the same?
Any idea when interest on the national debt will exceede the level of money taken in by taxes?

If you want to count Stake Presidents that are not yours, my stake pres and my brother in Tennessee's stake pres have both given talks in Stake Conference advising against using Facebook. First of all, it can be a large waste of time, and 2nd, it has caused marital problems and divorces in many couples in both stakes.
I can see how that would happen. People who you may have known in some context are now able to communicate with you in secret. I read somewhere that when Facebook went from college students to high school students the rate of STDs went up as well. Not sure it is all the cause but lots of people meet and date on Facebook. I think it is a good resource, but like anything else people must be wise with it. I was talking with someone who said his wife posts everything on Facebook. She even posts when she is angry with her husband. He said a mutual Facebook single female friend has become really flirty with him recently. Be carefull what you post, your friends may use it to THEIR advantage against you in the future.

My friend sent me this; he likes to keep me updated on the positive health benefits of coffee, tea, and alcohol.
It is the caffeine that seems to have positive health benefits. In tea, yes there are antioxidants and so every one of my inlaws drink green tea. Alcohol is only good for some incredients you can get from grapes, green veggies and grape juice instead.

My wife and her friends were watching some TV show that had a guy who built houses for low income people through his church. It seemed like the show was mocking Jimmy Carter because the guy who headed the organization killed people and put them in concrete under the houses. Guess nothing is sacred anymore.
Back to reality. With the economy looking worse and worse every day do you people think that eventually our church will start doing the Amish thing? A couple could buy all the building materials and then the ward could all chip in and raise a house for them. It would save families a lot of money.
Best home teacher dad.

Two boys were playing vidoe games one day and one said, "My dad is the best home teacher in the ward, he goes out and meets with his families the first day of the month." The other boy rolled his eyes and responded, "My dad has your dad beat, he goes out the day before your dad."
