I don't believe in any gods and that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I'd never try to change your mind because belief or lack thereof is a very personal thing. Please extend me the same courtesy and not try to change my mind. If I want to be preached at I will attend church.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-27698537669853169082009-09-28T11:33:36.193-05:002009-09-28T11:33:36.193-05:00Yes, God is real, and he sent his son to die for y...Yes, God is real, and he sent his son to die for you and forgive your sins so you may have enternal life in heaven with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-42521251685510603332009-09-24T14:34:00.900-05:002009-09-24T14:34:00.900-05:00Anon...

There is evidence of him all around us. <br /> *John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."<br /> *John 3:36 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."<br /> * Psalm 139:14 says "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”<br />The bible tells us that God is our creator and eternal heavenly father. We are to praiase him because we are wonderfully made. After all, we should praise and thank him for our freedom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-78335076526348011062009-09-13T08:48:25.933-05:002009-09-13T08:48:25.933-05:00I agree that most people do not know what is in th...I agree that most people do not know what is in the constitution.<br />Even experts, who understand what it says, disagree about what it means in many areas.<br />The meaning of the constitution is what the majority of 9 people say it is. And many times they disagree. And the meaning changes with public attitudes. It was once constitutional to intern Japanese Americans simply because of their ethnicity. Separate but equal was once constitutional.<br />Why did it take a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol but only statutes to outlaw pot?<br />The original intent of limiting federal government seems to be long gone. The commerce clause has been used to expand government into almost all aspects of our lives.sixstringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990051566697010428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-41416985885996990392009-09-12T14:39:32.342-05:002009-09-12T14:39:32.342-05:00Lord don't get me started on those butts in of...Lord don't get me started on those butts in office...They don't have a clue about our Constitution. The Constitution is the best thing that could have ever happened to "we the people." It is the one thing in my life that I will always stand by; the rights our founding fathers establised for us. I believe they knew what the future was actually going to hold for each of us. They knew what they had to do and they did it. Now we get to tell it like we see it, push every button we can to get it heard, and we owe it all to our founding fathers for establishing one hell of a document that would protect us from government officials long after they were gone. God Bless the makers of our Constitution. Fabulous Blog!!

They damn sure don't act like they understand it once they get in office. <br /><br />To help rectify that problem among the students at CACC I have ordered 50 pocket Constitutions and will hand them out on Constitution Day at the flag pole gathering.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-65930415155827796832009-09-12T08:19:13.730-05:002009-09-12T08:19:13.730-05:00Loretta, I’m in total agreement with most of what ...Loretta, I’m in total agreement with most of what you posted although I’m not an atheist and I believe that there is a God, while at the same time recognizing the right of you and others to not believe that.<br /><br />I especially agree that the coach you wrote about is a dimwit of the first order, and with your statements about what should be done on Constitution Day to enlighten people about what the constitution says and what it means.<br /><br />When I was in K-12 back in the late 30s through the early 50s “Civics” was still a required subject, If that were still the case the coach might not be so uninformed. That’s one of the many problems with “government” schools today.<br /><br />I wish every young adult today were required to take the oath I took several times, and which all members of Congress take when assuming office (even though they almost never live up to it), and that they would understand the meaning of the oath. That oath reads as follows:<br />“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” <br /><br />Of course, everyone who takes that oath and intends to follow it must first understand what our constitution says and how it limits the powers of our federal government and reserves all other powers to the various states or to the people. I wonder how many who take the oath actually understand what is in our constitution.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799732509238959026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-21416749619187266842009-09-11T12:40:57.437-05:002009-09-11T12:40:57.437-05:00NicJor...A friend of mine from SSDP gave me my fir...NicJor...A friend of mine from <a href="http://www.ssdp.org" rel="nofollow">SSDP</a> gave me my first shirt in 2003. Another friend gave me a new one in 2007. I was searching the internet last night for a source to purchase more and couldn't find any like the one pictured above. i emailed my friend who I got the second one from and he is sending me more. He said he is about to print some up as well. I can have him send one for you if you want. I'll get it to you when they get here.<br /><br />And Nick...I've worn these shirts for 6 years and never had a problem with the cops.
