Cornelius Julius Sebastian" Some folk seemed to have legitimate spiritual ecstasies, but many seemed to be compensating for some painful psychological issue. " I have only my testimony to offer. Raised as an agnostic I developed a belief in God in my 20's, becoming a Christian in my early 30's. At the height of despair regarding whether my kids would be killed by a drug addict I asked God to do something for me for the first and so far only time. A comfort came over me like a drug and I attribute this to the Holy Spirit. A painful psychological time indeed and one that made me a better person, for I've never felt alone since.

Rachel Lu, good point. Obama is soft and pampered. He'd probably start speaking for a Marlboro Light after a day without nicotine.

If you get a Super Black Eagle 2, 12 guage it will hunt anything you want and shoot like mad with minimal maintenance. A good clays/skeet gun. You'll never regret that weapon but over/unders are pretty. Glad to see you're happy. The recent schadenfreude has lifted my spirits. OKC was doomed once RW went down. This could have been the year too. As far as Ricochet, the gang of interesting intellectuals has grown in number. Regarding your conversion, I congratulate you on following the path Christ has led you. You have done right by your family as well.

Gus McCrae: Lorie darlin', life in San Francisco, you see, is still just life. If you want any one thing too badly, it's likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things, like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman like myself.

Word.

We have met the enemy and he is our lust and apathy.

Just today I wanted to have some bonding with my ten year old so I dialed up some German midget porn. The kid told me that was so 2011 and yawned. I should have paid attention when his Santa letter asked for ecstasy and Viagra.

By the way viruscop, I have five kids and every reason to fear the future. I watched the Nixon hearings and our country rightly demonized him. Obama is his equal in arrogance and paranoia and his sins are equal yet you sit oblivious. Do you know why? Within the answer lies the very reason I fear the future.

Alas viruscop, your kids or grand kids shall be serfs. The very progressives that have inflamed your cerebral cortex with obamavine spongiform encephalopathy preclude from grokking the insight provided.

I have it on good authority we get deflation first. Be ready.

Jimmy, he needs his spine too, I think that's in a formaldehyde jar on her mantle. So is Hilary like a Hydra or a terminator? As Gump says,"Sometimes there just aren't enough rocks".

Kahn was the best part of the show. Now on to what every one of you has failed to discuss. The pacifist loser federation policies and the Klingon menace. The admiral had it right yet they had to make him evil like Gen Jack D Ripper. Somehow the same rules of engagement we inflict our soldiers( Extortion 17 anyone) with are writ large on the screen for people to applaud. War is brutal and Klingons/Islam cannot be met in battle by panty waisted fools. Nice graphics, decent acting, director/writer/producer...liberal PC wimps.

Mauritius, I like it. Carney gets eaten first. Then it's a question if Obama and Clinton side together or if she's eaten next. Either way, Obama is eaten third at the very least. Did you mean a survivor game where they don't have to cannibalize one another? Probably.

Percival, I had a running battle with his psychotic loose niece about his mediocrity. She worshipped his "talent" and I pointed out it was merely the connection.

Dear leader deserves some water in the nose.

I'd like to add Dan to my waterboarding list. For his sins and his wicked ways.
