America: What do you think of her?

america! i love this country

many americans are offended at being 'prayed for'

I am not one of them, Im just participating in the thread...lol


as for me, I pray for people all over the world, not just americans
I have no sense of 'allegiance' to any land , necessarily

..at least not spiritually speaking

I LOVE my Country,,and ALL OF ITS PEOPLE..

But to be real here, WE AS A NATION OF PEOPLE,,have fallen MILES apart in the way WE SEE EACH OTHER,,and ACT OR SHOW OUR PERSON,,TO EACH OF THEM...
Even the Christian Community has MORE,,,NONE CARING within it as Society has within it....
Its NOT JUST ONE AREA,,,ITS EVERYWHERE....and I will NEVER change who I am,,as a man toward others,,,,BUT MANY HAVE,,,
because of getting so rapped up in their own lives and families and habits of their everyday lives,,,,THEY DON'T FEEL THEY HAVE TIME FOR ANYONE ELSE'S ISSUES,,,,

So in THAT,,,WE FAIL as an over-all picture of WHO WE USE TO BE AS A NATION,,
Just look at our talk radio channels,,,ALL THE HATE,,ALL THE ONE SIDED BASHINGS,,,,all brought forth through MONEY IN ANOTHER'S POCKET TO PROMOTE,,,not really ANYTHING that person might truly feel,,,just what THEIR paid to promote,,,and within every bashed word,,THIS COUNTRY LEARNS TO FEEL THAT ANGER AND RAGE,,and CHANGE into,,,,people who are one-sided,,callused, abusive,,and ANGRY at ALL THAT THEY SAY IS GOING ON,,,,,when in fact,,,,MUCH OF IT IS JUST LIES TO MIS-LEAD US TO FOLLOW THEIR WAY OF THINKING,,,it really SAD,,,,and there is nothing more that we can do from one seat HERE,,except,,to watch the insanity happen,,and wish and Pray for it to not be like THIS here anymore?
I was a Church photographer for a year once,,about 1990,,and in that year I went to many different denominational Churches,,,in ALL of them I heard and seen SOME of their members separated views of ANOTHER MEMBER or FAMILY that attended their same Church...
It was VERY DEPRESSING TO WITNESS,,,
They would put down an unwed Mother,,put down a mixed-race, marriage
they would put down one who had nothing and was poorer than THEM,,it made me really think and see ALL people as being so different from each other,,,yet so MANY with that same LACK of having an open compassion for ALL OF GOD'S CHILDRENS...

kewl observations

must have been cool as a church photographer, my cousin is actually about to do photography on an expedition to jerusalem and several sites jesus is thought to have stood upon,,,,

she is psyched,,lol

Trust me,,going from a truck driver forever over into a photographer was REALLY one large step over,,,,from grease and rough look to suit and tie,,,and THAT all came about because of my portfolio I had made quickly of many diff. shots I had taken,,and their hiring mang. loved my pic's of a litter of kittens I had taken,,many in my macro settings so they were large,,,,lol..He went on to teach me their studio set up and showed me how he worked the photo shoots and staged the kids and families,,,He used a rubber frog to make his kids smile,,I quickly started using a rubber duck,,,and I would place it on my head,,as I then spoke to the families,,and the kids eyes got big and they'd laugh,,saying,,,YOU GOT A DUCK ON YOUR HEAD,,,,lol,,and I'd act like I had no idea what they were talking about,,and it was really fun,,,Meeting the Ministers and his family and then all of their congregation,,,I was not truly a Christian then,,and everything there,,was new to my eyes..So I learned much,,,and seen much...MY BEST story,,,I photographed this one woman who was 102 and SHE DROVE to the Church STILL,,,she was truly a blessing as a human being,,,she was so sweet and held back no comments as to me or my professionalism,,we hit it off very well,,and she told me,,whhen I asked her,,to what would you give your blessed health to IF it were one thing?,,She said,,I DRINK ONE BEER A DAY,,NO MORE,,NO LESS,,EVERYDAY,,,I had to smile and laugh much on that on,,as I repeated her,,not one more or none less huh?....So thats how you live to be 102 and still great health,,,lol,,
I would love to be doing what your cousin is doing,,as that has to be much MORE fulfilling and exciting,,,,,

Pray for America!
“If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." - Ronald Reagan



In 2 Chronicles 7:14 God promises that if Christians will humble themselves and pray and repent from their sins, He will heal our land:


“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

we can hope

it seems like our 'intelligence' has inflated our ego though, to become our own Gods

I see any political references or aknowledgement of God slowly being ACLU'd away for 'equality' sake to be 'fair' to atheists,,,,,

Id love togoto america. Iwonder if i would find work there. Im a software trainer and a good manager.

an immigrant with an in demand profession,, you would be first in line,,,,,

ACLU fulfilling communist agenda
World Net Daily ^ | December 3, 2004 | Devvy Kidd

Posted on Friday, December 03, 2004 8:32:31 AM by Mikey

Every day, the headlines scream with some new threat from the American Civil Liberties Union. I believe it's important to look behind the curtain and discover the origins of groups and organizations to better understand their activities.


The ACLU was founded in the 1920s by Roger Baldwin and Crystal Eastman, described as a "progressive" and "the perfect feminist."


Earl Browder was general secretary of the Communist Party of the United States from 1930 through its dissolution in 1944. When the party was reconstituted as the Communist Political Association later that year, Browder was chosen as its president. Browder proudly proclaimed that the ACLU functioned as "a transmission belt" for the party. To deny the ACLU's founding was attached at the hip to communist organizations is to deny what can easily be proven as truth.


For the past few decades, the ACLU has been on a major crusade to destroy Christianity in America, promote filth under "freedom of speech and expression," and of course, vigorously defend the homosexual culture of death. On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr., D-Fla., read a list of 45 communist goals into the Congressional Record. Below are the communist goals being implemented by the ACLU in their quest to destroy America's culture and traditions:


* Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.


* Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.


* Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.


* Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."


* Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.


* Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and television.


* Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."


* Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."


* Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."


* Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the communists took over. Obliterating the American past, with its antecedents in principles of freedom, liberty and private ownership is a major goal of the communists then and now.


* Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.


* Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.


Anyone who has been following the destructive path of the ACLU can easily see how effective these communist goals have been implemented to "promote democracy" and protect your "civil rights." Lenin stated: "Communism alone is capable of providing really complete democracy." (See Tucker, "The Lenin Anthology"). James Madison, known as the "Father of the Constitution" had something different to say about a democracy:


Democracy is the most vile form of government ... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention, have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.


Perhaps it's time to recognize the ACLU as the American Communist Lawyers Union instead of their disingenuous "civil rights" stage name.


No organization can exist without memberships and funding. It is inconceivable to me how anyone who claims to be a Christian, lawyer or layman, could belong to such an anti-American organization as the ACLU. Burn your card and get out. Organizations like Working Assets, tobacco companies and big corporations all donate to the ACLU, which in turn uses that money to buy the favors of those who serve in Congress – who vote to unconstitutionally fund the activities of the ACLU under the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Awards Act of 1976.


If Americans really want to put the ACLU out of business, remove yourself as a member of their organization, boycott companies that donate to them and demand these public servants in Congress repeal the unconstitutional funding of this subversive organization.


There is no justification under Art. 1, Sec. 8, to steal from the people's treasury to give money to the ACLU or any other organization for "civil rights" lawsuits. Your Congress critter will be in your district during the month of December – make the most of it.
