You Might be a Leftist If . . .
By Marc Levin

-You believe John Ashcroft poses a greater danger to America than
Osama bin Laden
-You think President Bush lied to the nation but his predecessor did
not.
-You believe President Bush is too dumb to be President and Arnold
Schwarzenegger is too dumb to be Governor of California, but the Dixie
Chicks, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Eddie Vedder and
Jeanine Garofalo are qualified to discourse at length on foreign
policy.
-You believe all conservatives are racist, but do not think minorities
can ever succeed without Affirmative Action.
-You can't decide which is worse: the Patriot Act or the Patriot
Missile.
-You believe Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and Yasser Arafat were
fairly and democratically elected, but President Bush was not.
-You root for prisoners when they escape from our oppressive prisons,
but oppose allowing poor children to escape from failing public
schools.
-You support every kind of "diversity" on campus, except political
orientation.
-You support banning the smoking of tobacco and legalizing marijuana.
-You are enraged by the so-called mistreatment of Muslim prisoners
(who have gained weight while dining on their specially prepared
Koran-approved meals) at Guantanamo Bay, but believe the world should
have stood idly by while Saddam Hussein filled mass graves.
-You have found where the right to an abortion is written in the
Constitution but cannot find where the Constitution provides for a
right to keep and bear arms.
-You support campus speech codes that ban pick-up lines and amorous
gazes, but never spoke out against President Clinton's physical sexual
harassment in the White House.
-You applauded Jimmy Carter for talking about human rights in foreign
policy but opposed George W. Bush for doing something about human
rights.
-You believe that trial lawyers taking 33 to 40 percent of a
plaintiff's recovery in lawsuits is just about right, but the federal
government taking this amount of our income in taxes is not nearly
enough.
-You believe the former Governor of a New England state with 608,827
people is more than adequately experienced to be President in 2004,
but the Governor of a Southwestern state with 21,325,018 people was
completely unprepared in 2000.
-You agree with Toni Morrison that President Clinton was "the first
black President," but didn't criticize Al Sharpton for recently
labeling President Bush a "gang leader."
-You believe we could get more truth out of the Pentagon if only Don
Rumsfeld were replaced by Mohammed Al-Sahhaf.
-You believe evangelical Christians are destroying America but don't
feel threatened by the radical Wahabbi sect of Islam.
-When it comes to violent crime, you believe in hating the crime but
loving the criminal.
-You support unlimited appeals for convicted criminals, but believed
it was undemocratic for Californians to reverse their earlier mistake
of electing Gray Davis.
-You believe U.S. exports of genetically modified foods pose a greater
threat to African nations than corrupt dictators like Zimbabwe's
Mugabe.
-You believe welfare is a fundamental human right and workfare is a
human rights violation.
-You believe religion is a scourge on our society, but becoming one
with Mother Nature by merging with the universal consciousness and
harmonizing with lunar reverberations will save us.
-You believe President Bush is an environmental criminal for poisoning
the water with arsenic, but have never complained about Saddam
Hussein's devastating Iraq and Kuwait's environment by setting
intentional oil well fires and committing genocide against the Marsh
Arabs by draining their wetlands.
-Your car sports the bumper sticker saying that "it will be a great
day when our schools have all the money they need and the military has
to hold bake sales," but oppose allowing the U.S. military to
volunteer recruitment tables on college campuses because of their
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
If the above has successfully profiled you, congratulations! You have
won a one-way ticket to Paris aboard the massive cruise ship, "The
U.S.S.R. Michael Moore." Your ticket will be held at the nearest
Dennis Kucinich for President rally. Matricular consular ID cards
issued by foreign governments will be gladly accepted as
identification.

-You believe there can be more than one threat at a time.
-You know "President" Bush lied to the nation and the world.
-You remember how Bush lost to Al Gore by more than half
a million votes, and that's without even counting the 50,000
black (and likely Democratic) voters who were "Accidentially"
thrown off of Florida's voter rolls.
-You notice that racists overwhelmingly vote Republican,
and the Republicans appear to try and take every advantage
of this situation (Bob Jones University, the CCC, the 2000
campaign "Too much diversity" ad....).
-You can't decide which is worse: the Patriot Act or the fact that
it doesn't address a single factor in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
-You notice how Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and George Bush
never won a national election.
-You recognize the fact that school vouchers are not capable of
correcting a single issue in public education, and want our tax
dollars to go to solving problems instead of making it easier
for the chosen few to ignore them.
-You support every kind of "diversity" on campus, and can tell
the difference between "My religion is great" and "Your religion
sucks out loud, and you are a moist pile of dung for not casting
it aside in favor of my personal beliefs."
-You support banning products which, if used as intended, will
result in death.
-You are enraged by your own government violating the U.S.
constitution and international law, even as it plays "International
policeman."
-You wonder why the right-wing keeps pretending that they're
pro-gun, even though they haven't so much as proposed undoing
a single gun law, not even after a 10 years of control of
congress.
-You understand that "sexual harrassment" is defined by the
person being harrassed, not partisan Republicans.
-You're disgusted by the way George W. Bush is pretending
that he's concerned with human rights... but only after the
WMD excuse fell through.
-You wonder why the Republicans always ***** about "Trial
lawyers" and "lawsuits," when the vast majority of lawsuits
are filed by businesses and the only lawsuits they want to stop
are the ones filed by private citizens.
-You believe an accomplished, self-made man is better suited
to be President than a cronic under-achiever who had already
demonstrated that he's clearly out of his league.
-You wonder why the Republicans are always trying to make
race an issue, yet insist that they're not racist.
-You believe that the people who created the problem aren't
the best people to fix it, especially when they insist that they
never screwed up in the first place. Example: Iraq.
-You notice that evangelical Christians are destroying America,
and how the right-wing insist we should be more concerned
with what's happening 6,000 miles away than what's happening
next door to us.
-When it comes to violent crime, you know about the enormous
drop that took place during the Clinton years, and how it's on
the upswing again with Bush in the Whitehouse.
-You believe that there's no such thing as a "small injustice."
-You wonder why partisan Republicans harp on imaginary "issues."
-You understand that people without enough food, clothing or
shelter will rarely if ever choose to lie down & die, and they'll
resort to any means necessary for survival. For this reason you
can't even pretend to care about crime unless you're addressing
the nations poor.
-Even if someone isn't shouting their religious beliefs, or just
doesn't seem interested in listening to you as your preach your's,
you don't assume that they're some kind of radical new-ager
or Satanist.
-You're more concerned with the health & safety of your
family, your loved ones & your neighbors than Bush's
"Reason du jour" for invading Iraq.
-You don't think the government should violate anti-discrimination
laws.
If the above has successfully profiled you, congratulations! If not,
you're a Bush supporter.

You Might be a Liberal Leftist If............
You Might be a Leftist If . . .
By Marc Levin
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 8, 2003
-You believe John Ashcroft poses a greater danger to America than
Osama bin Laden
Osama and Ashcroft ar eboth dangerous to America, but in very different
ways. Osama is a danger to American lives. Ashcroft is a danger to American
freedom.
-You think President Bush lied to the nation but his predecessor did
not.
Clinton lied about a *****. Dubya lied about a war (among a myriad other
things).
-You believe President Bush is too dumb to be President and Arnold
Schwarzenegger is too dumb to be Governor of California, but the Dixie
Chicks, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Eddie Vedder and
Jeanine Garofalo are qualified to discourse at length on foreign
policy.
Those actors are not in power. I wouldn't want any one of them running the
government. They are American citizens and as such ARE qualified to speak on
any subject they choose.
The problem is that we have idiots in power.
-You believe all conservatives are racist, but do not think minorities
can ever succeed without Affirmative Action.
That is a lie. Some conservatives are racists, and conservative policy is
inherently racist. But affirmative action is necessary so that qualified
black people are given the opportunity to prove their worth, when otherwise
a racist system would prevent many of them from achieving success.
-You can't decide which is worse: the Patriot Act or the Patriot
Missile.
The Patriot Act is definitely worse.
-You believe Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and Yasser Arafat were
fairly and democratically elected, but President Bush was not.
No liberal believes that any of these 4 people were fairly elected.
-You root for prisoners when they escape from our oppressive prisons,
When has ANY liberal cheered the escape of a prisoner from prison (other
than one who was innocent and wrongfuully convicted)?
but oppose allowing poor children to escape from failing public
schools.
We want to make failing public schools into successful public schools.
Public schools fail due to lack of funding.
-You support every kind of "diversity" on campus, except political
orientation.
Wrong. We liberals cherish free speech to the highest possible degree. That
includes the right to rebut arguments made by right-wing nuts.
-You support banning the smoking of tobacco and legalizing marijuana.
Most of us support the banning of smoking in indoor areas that are shared by
non-smokers. We do not support the outright ban of tobacco products, though
we do believe that tobacco companies should be held accountable for any
unethical activity.
And yes, marijuana should be legalized.
-You are enraged by the so-called mistreatment of Muslim prisoners
(who have gained weight while dining on their specially prepared
Koran-approved meals) at Guantanamo Bay,
We are enraged whenever anyone is denied their rights, including when people
are being held prisoner without charge or legal counsel.
but believe the world should
have stood idly by while Saddam Hussein filled mass graves.
No. We do not believe in standing idly by. There are things the world
community can do without gaoing to war on false pretenses.
What is Bush doing about the other two-dozen-odd brutal dictatorships around
the world? China is executing people left and right. North Korea keeps
prisoners as slaves for the most minor infractions. Burma is horribly
oppressing its people. Not to mention Turkmenistan, Equatorial Guinea, Cuba,
Swaziland and many , many other countries Bush has not decided to invade.
-You have found where the right to an abortion is written in the
Constitution but cannot find where the Constitution provides for a
right to keep and bear arms.
Try reading the 2nd Amendment in its entirety.
-You support campus speech codes that ban pick-up lines and amorous
gazes,
No, we do not. That would be the prudish right.
but never spoke out against President Clinton's physical sexual
harassment in the White House.
What "sexual harrassment"? Monica willingly initiated the *****.
-You applauded Jimmy Carter for talking about human rights in foreign
policy but opposed George W. Bush for doing something about human
rights.
What's Dubya doing about human rights? Lying to invade a foreign coutnry
that was not a threat? Hell, he's hell-bent on taking away rights here in
America. Look at the anti-abortion bills he signed, as well as siccing
Ashcroft on Oregon trying to prevent people from choosing to die with
dignity. Not to mention the Patriot Act, TIA, TIPS, and prying into what
people read in libraries.
-You believe that trial lawyers taking 33 to 40 percent of a
plaintiff's recovery in lawsuits is just about right,
Nope. I strongly disagree with this.
but the federal
government taking this amount of our income in taxes is not nearly
enough.
....if you're RICH.
-You believe the former Governor of a New England state with 608,827
people is more than adequately experienced to be President in 2004,
but the Governor of a Southwestern state with 21,325,018 people was
completely unprepared in 2000.
Anyone who espouses right-wing lies is NOT qualified to be president. And
Dean is far, far smarter than Bush would ever hope to be.
-You agree with Toni Morrison that President Clinton was "the first
black President," but didn't criticize Al Sharpton for recently
labeling President Bush a "gang leader."
Yes (Wow, you got one right!)
-You believe we could get more truth out of the Pentagon if only Don
Rumsfeld were replaced by Mohammed Al-Sahhaf.
No, but we would get about the same. Both lie through their teeth, though
one is a better liar than the other.
-You believe evangelical Christians are destroying America but don't
feel threatened by the radical Wahabbi sect of Islam.
The fundamentalist Christians are running our govbernmet, and are therefore
destroying America, which is their goal. If the Wahhabis were runnin the US
government, I would consider them a threat to our freedoms. But they are not
in office.
-When it comes to violent crime, you believe in hating the crime but
loving the criminal.
Nope.
-You support unlimited appeals for convicted criminals,
No. Only en ough to ensure that the innocent are not wrongfully convicted.
but believed
it was undemocratic for Californians to reverse their earlier mistake
of electing Gray Davis.
They did not make a mistake in electing him. If they didn't want him, they
could have waited until 4 years later. It IS anti-democratic to allow a
small minority of voters to overturn a election.
-You believe U.S. exports of genetically modified foods pose a greater
threat to African nations than corrupt dictators like Zimbabwe's
Mugabe.
We oppose both dictators AND GMO foods. You phrase the question as if we
must have one or the other.
It happens to be far simpler to stop producing GMO foods than it is to oust
a dictator. Look at Iraq.
-You believe welfare is a fundamental human right and workfare is a
human rights violation.
Nope.
-You believe religion is a scourge on our society, but becoming one
with Mother Nature by merging with the universal consciousness and
harmonizing with lunar reverberations will save us.
All superstition is bad, whether Christian or New Ageor any other religion
or mystioc belief.
-You believe President Bush is an environmental criminal for poisoning
the water with arsenic, but have never complained about Saddam
Hussein's devastating Iraq and Kuwait's environment by setting
intentional oil well fires and committing genocide against the Marsh
Arabs by draining their wetlands.
You are absolutely wrong. We considered Hussein's activities to be
horrendous crimes, and openly condemned them.
-Your car sports the bumper sticker saying that "it will be a great
day when our schools have all the money they need and the military has
to hold bake sales," but oppose allowing the U.S. military to
volunteer recruitment tables on college campuses because of their
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
The military has no business on non-military-academy campuses.
If the above has successfully profiled you, congratulations!
Nobody can be successfully profiled by the above *****. Strawman liberals
like this simply do not exist outside the minds of Limbaugh, Hannity and
other right-wing nuts like you.

-You believe John Ashcroft poses a greater danger to America than

There is something to this. All Osama bin Laden can do is kill people.
John Ashcroft can destroy our freedoms and the foundations of this
country. Both are hard at work. One hundred years from now, this
country will have recovered from the effects of bin Laden, but will it
have recovered from the effects of John Ashcroft?

InYou might be a "Liberal Leftists" if you think that anyoone calling
themselves Christian should really try to obey the commandments and
teaching of Jesus.
=========================================================================
(This article is based/was inspired on an article I read almost two years
ago in the newsgroups (usenet).)
Which Law should Christians follow?
It is suprising the number of Christians who do not seem to understand the
difference between the Commadments given to the nation of Israrel as part
of the Old Covenant, and the Commandments given to Christians, between the
Law (including the Levitical Code) given to a race/nation set apart, that
which Law Jesus preached, and taught, and asks that those believe in Him
live by.
Jesus said:
" If ye love me, keep my commandments. " (John 14:15 KJV)
What were these commandments that Jesus was referrring to? Was He, as a
large number of Fundamentalist Christians claim, telling His followers to
keep the Laws of the Old Testament except those involving aninal
sacrifice?
Not according to Paul!!
The Paul of the Bible summarizes God's law for mankind in one verse:
"For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your neighbor
as yourself." (Galatians 5:14 RSV)
This has become known as the "Royal Law".
If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall
love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. (James 2:8 RSV)
Jesus Himself went into more detail about what He wants us to do and not
to do. Although we are Òsaved by grace, not by worksÓ if we follow only
the Royal Law we demonstrate our love for what God through Jesus Christ as
done for us.
It is even better if we can also keep all of the Commandments of Jesus,
since is thew way in which we can accomplish two very important things:
1) Demonstrate to non-Christians that we truly are followeres of
Christ.
These Commandments of Jesus have a very special place of high priority
for all Christians because The Lord said, "If ye love Me, keep My
commandments." (John 14:15 KJV). (Emphasis mine)
2) Help bring about God's dominion/kingdom/realm , the same
dominion/kingdom/realm we pray for every time we say the Prayer That
Jesus Taught Us. "Your dominion/jingdom/realm come, Your will be on
earth as it is in heaven."
Jesus also gave the following instructions regarding His Commandments . . .
" Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world." (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)
By these words, Jesus tells us that we are to obey all of the Commandments
He gave to His disciples, and that these Commandments apply until the end
of the world and GodÕs domion is fully realized.
Here, then, is a fairly complete list of all the Commandments which Jesus
taught His disciples (us) to observe, obey, and live by. I found these in
an article posted to usenet, where someone had taken the time to do a
study of all four Gospels. They are organized into two groups: the
Universal Moral Law, and the Other Commandments Of Jesus.
A summary of His commandments is given first, then a detailed explanation
of each one (where necessary), with Scriptural references.
It is always possible that a commandment or two may have been overlooked.
So in order to make sure for yourself, please buy or borrow a Bible with
the words of Jesus written in red. Then read the red words first, and see
for yourself! As Jesus said, "the words I speak to you, they are spirit
and they are life." (John 6:63b KJV)

Details Of The Commandments Of Jesus
The Universal Moral Law
This is the Universal Moral Law regarding your relationship with your
Creator and with all other people on Earth. This law now applies to all
people in all situations, regardless of whatever name they vall God by .
There are three parts to the Universal Moral Law . . .
1. The Law Of Love
2. The Ten Commandments
3. The Golden Rule
THE LAW OF LOVE
"First, love God your Creator more than anything else. Then, love all
other people the same as you love yourself."
(Based on Matthew 22:35-40, restated in Mark 12:28-31 and Luke 10:25-28.
The idea of all people as neighbors is explained in Luke 10:29-37)
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment." (Matthew 22:37-38 KJV)
"And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew
22:39-40 KJV)
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Throughout the Old Testament, there are hundreds of "commandments,"
covering all parts of life. Collectively, these make up "the Law" of the
Old Covenant.
However, one group of commandments is very special, and it is known as
"the 10 Commandments." The Book of Exodus records that the Ten
Commandments were given directky to Moses by God, written io tablets
stone, and given to all people forever. The people of Israel placed The
Ten Commandments first, separate and distinct above all others.
Most of The Law of the Old Covenant no longer applies to Christians under
the New Covenant (See Hebrews 8:13, etc.) However, the Ten Commandments
still apply, because they were ratified by Jesus in Mark 10:19 and Luke
18:20 when He said, "You know the Commandments."
The Ten Commandments are given in two different places in the Bible, once
in Exodus 20:1-17 and once in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. The content is the
basically same in both places.
Here is the modern restatement of The Ten Commandments. After this is the
translation of the original text.
The Ten Commandments: Modern Restatement
1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
2. "Do not make or worship idols."
3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
4. "Take one day of complete rest each week, in honor of God."
5. "Honor your father and your mother."
6. "Do not commit murder."
7. "Do not commit adultery."
8. "Do not steal."
9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
(Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. Jesus did not
specifically restate commandments 2, 3, 4 or 10, but it was understood
that He endorsed and followed all of the Ten Commandments.)
EXODUS 20:1-17 (KJV)
The Ten Commandments
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth
.
NOTE: "Graven images" here means idols, that is things which wee not such
the representations of the Deity, but the Deity Himself/Herself. It
certainly did not/does not mean all drawings or statues, as some have
mistakenly believed. If statues were prohibited, then the two angel
statues on the Ark Of The Covenant would have been prohibited. (See Exodus
25:18-20)
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD
will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: 11
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
NOTE: This clearly was a prohibition against private killing, not against
killing in war, in self defense, or as punishment for breaking the law.
God specifically authorized killing in war (see Deuteronomy 7:2, etc.) and
killing as punishment for certain crimes (see Deuteronomy 13:9, etc.
Today meany Christians and Jews agree that at the very least, this command
forbids murder, but there is a wide variety of opinion regarding war,
capitial punishment, and/or self defense.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor
his *****, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
THE GOLDEN RULE
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
(Based on Matthew 7:12, restated in Luke 6:31)
" "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do
ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12
KJV)
The Other Commandments Of Jesus
1. "FORGIVE EVERYBODY OF ALL THEIR OFFENSES AGAINST YOU." (Forgive, and be
forgiven.)
As you forgive other people, God will forgive you.
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12 KJV)
"And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that
your Father also which in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." "But if
ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive
your trespasses." (Mark 11:25-26 KJV)
2. "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN."
Simply put, accepting Christ as Savior, and being baptized is being born
again. It can also mean, that if you were baptized as a child, raised as a
Christian, but only when you became an adult did you make a choice to be a
Christian, well then you've been born again.
"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." (John 3:7 KJV)
3. "ABIDE IN ME, AND LET ME ABIDE IN YOU."
When you accept Jesus and the grace of God into your life, and you committ
to living you life in partnership with Christ, then Jesus abides in you.
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." (John
15:4 KJV)
4. "LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS." (Do not hide your light under a basket.)
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 KJV; see
also Matthew 5:15)
5. "END DISPUTES QUICKLY."
This important!!! Failure to end "disputes quickly can not only get you in
trouble (legal or otherwise). Failure to end disputes, clear the air,
resolve problems can let feelings fester, making forgiveness and healing
impossible.
"Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that
thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the
altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come
and offer thy gift.Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in
the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the
judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into
prison." (Matthew 5:23-25 KJV)
6. "WHATEVER CAUSES YOU TO SIN, GET RID OF IT."
"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. "And if thy right hand
offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for
thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body
should be cast into hell." (Matthew 5:29-30 KJV)
7. "DO NOT SWEAR OATHS AT ALL."
"But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
"Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it
is the city of the great King.
"Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one
hair white or black.
"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil."
(Matthew 5:34-37 KJV)
8. "DO NOT RETURN OFFENSE FOR OFFENSE." (Turn the other cheek.)
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for
a tooth: "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matthew
5:38-39 KJV)
9. "GIVE WHAT PEOPLE ASK OF YOU, AND GIVE MORE THAN IS REQUIRED." (Go the
extra mile.)
"And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also. "And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go
with him twain. "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
borrow of thee turn not thou away." (Matthew 5:40-42 KJV)
10. "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND THOSE WHO WORK AGAINST YOU."
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he
maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on
the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:43-45 KJV)
11. "GIVE TO THE POOR TO PLEASE GOD, NOT TO GAIN APPROVAL FROM OTHER PEOPLE."
"Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew
6:1 KJV)
12. "PRAY PRIVATELY AND SIMPLY, NOT TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLE."
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward.
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast
shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which
seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." (Matthew 6:5-7
KJV)
13. "MAKE YOUR PRAYERS BE LIKE THE LORD'S PRAYER."
" After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power,
And the glory,
For ever.
Amen."
(Matthew 6:9-15 KJV)
Note that that the major elements of praye are covered in this model Jesus
left for us: Adoration, Confession. Thanksgiving, and Supplication!!!
14. "WHEN YOU FAST, DO IT SECRETLY, NOT FOR SHOW."
" Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance:
for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." (Matthew 6:16)
15. "STORE UP YOUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH."
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)
16. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL NEEDS."
"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?" (Matthew 6:25-26 KJV)
17. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE."
That may seem strange, but considering the level of stress that Americans
live under, this certainly makes sense.
This doesn't mean that one shouldn't budget, plan for a vacation.....but
simply that one should not be caught up in such things to the exclusion of
the NOW.
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof." (Matthew 6:34 KJV)
18. "MAKE GOD YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY, AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR NEEDS."
" But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33 KJV)
19. "DO NOT JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE." (Judge not, lest ye be judged.)
"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." (Matthew 7:1-2 KJV)
20. "DO NOT GIVE HOLY THINGS TO DOGS OR CAST YOUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE."
This is an example of what this means to me:
There are some people who just won't hear the Good News that's God's love
is inclusive. No matter what you say, or how you live, they will insist on
being bigots. (Some say Fred Phelps may change someday for example)
Stop wasting your time on them!!!
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and
rend you." (Matthew 7:6 KJV)
21. "ASK GOD FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE." (Seek, and ye shall find.)
Keep in mind tho, that sometimes God says no. When its not in God's will,
when it will hurt you, when what you ask could harm someone else, God will
say no.
But...if you don't ask, you can't get ANY answer!!
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7 KJV)
22. "FEED THE HUNGRY, CLOTHE THE NAKED, SHELTER THE HOMELESS, COMFORT
THOSE IN DISTRESS."
"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world:
"For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me
drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
"Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison,
and ye came unto me."
(Matthew 25:34-36 KJV)
23. "FOLLOW THE NARROW PATH TO LIFE." (Enter by the narrow gate.)
The wide gate is the gate you simply stumble through, when you are not
paying attention.
Accepting or engaging in homophobia, racism,classism, ageism, nationalism,
homophobia, and sexism is the way "the wide gate". Being apathetic is also
the way of the "wide gate"...
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14 KJV)
24. "BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS."
Can we say Exodus International? World Church of the Creator? Christian
Identity?
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Matthew 7:15 KJV)
25. "EXERCISE POWER OVER UNCLEAN SPIRITS."
Do something to comfort people, help people, get then the help they need....
"And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power
against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease." (Matthew 10:1 KJV)
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:
freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8 KJV)
26. "LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN, DO NOT DESPISE THEM."
"Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto
you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father
which is in heaven." (Matthew 18:10 KJV)
27. "DO NOT TAKE THE TITLES 'MASTER' OR 'FATHER' FOR YOURSELF."
"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one
is your Father, which is in heaven.
"Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
even Christ.
"But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant.
"And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
(Matthew 23:8-12 KJV)
28. "RESOLVE DISPUTES IN AN ORDERLY WAY, LIKE THIS . . . "
"Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
"But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one
or two more, that in the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be established.
"And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto
the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let
him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."
(Matthew 18:15-17 KJV)
29. "DO NOT OPPOSE OTHER BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE NOT IN YOUR GROUP."
......that is stop "denomination" bashing!!!
"And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in
thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth
not us.
"But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a
miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
"For he that is not against us is on our part." (Mark 9:38-40 KJV)
30. "HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN GOD FOR EVERYTHING."
"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:22-24 KJV)
31. "BE LIKE THE GOOD SAMARITAN." (Go, and do likewise.)
"Then Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise." (Luke 10:37b KJV)
This was in reference to the Parable Of The Good Samaritan, who helped and
took care of a man who had been attacked by robbers. (See Luke 10:30-35)
His hearers considered Samaritans worse than Gentiles, unlean and unworthy
of God's love.
32. "LOVE OTHER PEOPLE AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you."
(John 15:12 KJV)
33. "EAT BREAD AND DRINK WINE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME."
"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them,
saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of
me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new
testament in my blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:19-20 KJV)
34. "WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET."
The full meaning of this dramatic command is for us to care for each
other's needs as if they were our own. He also wants us literally to wash
each other's feet.
"If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one another's feet." (John 13:14 KJV)
35. "BE MERCIFUL."
"Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful." (Luke 6:36
KJV) " . . . for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil." (Luke
6:35b KJV)
36. "GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS."
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world." (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)
37. "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
"If you love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15 KJV)
38. "BE PREPARED FOR YOUR MASTER TO RETURN."
"Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye
think not." (Luke 12:40 KJV)
The Law of Moses or the Law of Jesus?
To a very large extent, the choice is up to each and every person:
One can decide that's God's grace is too easy, that the way Jesus is
insufficent fo salvation, and try to live under the Law, which the Gospels
record even Jesus did not do.
OR
One can accept the fact that:
"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any person should boast.....13 But
now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the
blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished
in his flesh the enmity, even the Law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:" Ephesians 2:8-9, 13-16 KJV)

You Might be a Liberal Leftist If............
You Might be a Leftist If . . .
By Marc Levin
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 8, 2003
-You believe John Ashcroft poses a greater danger to America than
Osama bin Laden
-You think President Bush lied to the nation but his predecessor did
not.
-You believe President Bush is too dumb to be President and Arnold
Schwarzenegger is too dumb to be Governor of California, but the Dixie
Chicks, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Eddie Vedder and
Jeanine Garofalo are qualified to discourse at length on foreign
policy.
-You believe all conservatives are racist, but do not think minorities
can ever succeed without Affirmative Action.
-You can't decide which is worse: the Patriot Act or the Patriot
Missile.
-You believe Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and Yasser Arafat were
fairly and democratically elected, but President Bush was not.
-You root for prisoners when they escape from our oppressive prisons,
but oppose allowing poor children to escape from failing public
schools.
-You support every kind of "diversity" on campus, except political
orientation.
-You support banning the smoking of tobacco and legalizing marijuana.
-You are enraged by the so-called mistreatment of Muslim prisoners
(who have gained weight while dining on their specially prepared
Koran-approved meals) at Guantanamo Bay, but believe the world should
have stood idly by while Saddam Hussein filled mass graves.
-You have found where the right to an abortion is written in the
Constitution but cannot find where the Constitution provides for a
right to keep and bear arms.
-You support campus speech codes that ban pick-up lines and amorous
gazes, but never spoke out against President Clinton's physical sexual
harassment in the White House.
-You applauded Jimmy Carter for talking about human rights in foreign
policy but opposed George W. Bush for doing something about human
rights.
-You believe that trial lawyers taking 33 to 40 percent of a
plaintiff's recovery in lawsuits is just about right, but the federal
government taking this amount of our income in taxes is not nearly
enough.
-You believe the former Governor of a New England state with 608,827
people is more than adequately experienced to be President in 2004,
but the Governor of a Southwestern state with 21,325,018 people was
completely unprepared in 2000.
-You agree with Toni Morrison that President Clinton was "the first
black President," but didn't criticize Al Sharpton for recently
labeling President Bush a "gang leader."
-You believe we could get more truth out of the Pentagon if only Don
Rumsfeld were replaced by Mohammed Al-Sahhaf.
-You believe evangelical Christians are destroying America but don't
feel threatened by the radical Wahabbi sect of Islam.
-When it comes to violent crime, you believe in hating the crime but
loving the criminal.
-You support unlimited appeals for convicted criminals, but believed
it was undemocratic for Californians to reverse their earlier mistake
of electing Gray Davis.
-You believe U.S. exports of genetically modified foods pose a greater
threat to African nations than corrupt dictators like Zimbabwe's
Mugabe.
-You believe welfare is a fundamental human right and workfare is a
human rights violation.
-You believe religion is a scourge on our society, but becoming one
with Mother Nature by merging with the universal consciousness and
harmonizing with lunar reverberations will save us.
-You believe President Bush is an environmental criminal for poisoning
the water with arsenic, but have never complained about Saddam
Hussein's devastating Iraq and Kuwait's environment by setting
intentional oil well fires and committing genocide against the Marsh
Arabs by draining their wetlands.
-Your car sports the bumper sticker saying that "it will be a great
day when our schools have all the money they need and the military has
to hold bake sales," but oppose allowing the U.S. military to
volunteer recruitment tables on college campuses because of their
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
If the above has successfully profiled you, congratulations! You have
won a one-way ticket to Paris aboard the massive cruise ship, "The
U.S.S.R. Michael Moore." Your ticket will be held at the nearest
Dennis Kucinich for President rally. Matricular consular ID cards
issued by foreign governments will be gladly accepted as

Why, 'ehat' is simply the late-night form of the word 'what', as in:
"My, what a big, grownup boy you are!"
Sorry about that,

AliciaS, I am the last person in the world to do a spelling or grammar
flame. I do a lot more that my share of those. That being said in all
honesty What word did you mean when you typed "ehat" ? I am at a
complete
lost of what you where saying.
My apology for my ignorance.

You Might be a Liberal Leftist If............
You Might be a Leftist If . . .
By Marc Levin
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 8, 2003
-You believe John Ashcroft poses a greater danger to America than
Osama bin Laden
-You think President Bush lied to the nation but his predecessor did
not.
-You believe President Bush is too dumb to be President and Arnold
Schwarzenegger is too dumb to be Governor of California, but the
Dixie
Chicks, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Eddie Vedder
and
Jeanine Garofalo are qualified to discourse at length on foreign
policy.
-You believe all conservatives are racist, but do not think
minorities
can ever succeed without Affirmative Action.
-You can't decide which is worse: the Patriot Act or the Patriot
Missile.
-You believe Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and Yasser Arafat were
fairly and democratically elected, but President Bush was not.
-You root for prisoners when they escape from our oppressive
prisons,
but oppose allowing poor children to escape from failing public
schools.
-You support every kind of "diversity" on campus, except political
orientation.
-You support banning the smoking of tobacco and legalizing
marijuana.
-You are enraged by the so-called mistreatment of Muslim prisoners
(who have gained weight while dining on their specially prepared
Koran-approved meals) at Guantanamo Bay, but believe the world
should
have stood idly by while Saddam Hussein filled mass graves.
-You have found where the right to an abortion is written in the
Constitution but cannot find where the Constitution provides for a
right to keep and bear arms.
-You support campus speech codes that ban pick-up lines and amorous
gazes, but never spoke out against President Clinton's physical
sexual
harassment in the White House.
-You applauded Jimmy Carter for talking about human rights in
foreign
policy but opposed George W. Bush for doing something about human
rights.
-You believe that trial lawyers taking 33 to 40 percent of a
plaintiff's recovery in lawsuits is just about right, but the
federal
government taking this amount of our income in taxes is not nearly
enough.
-You believe the former Governor of a New England state with 608,827
people is more than adequately experienced to be President in 2004,
but the Governor of a Southwestern state with 21,325,018 people was
completely unprepared in 2000.
-You agree with Toni Morrison that President Clinton was "the first
black President," but didn't criticize Al Sharpton for recently
labeling President Bush a "gang leader."
-You believe we could get more truth out of the Pentagon if only Don
Rumsfeld were replaced by Mohammed Al-Sahhaf.
-You believe evangelical Christians are destroying America but don't
feel threatened by the radical Wahabbi sect of Islam.
-When it comes to violent crime, you believe in hating the crime but
loving the criminal.
-You support unlimited appeals for convicted criminals, but believed
it was undemocratic for Californians to reverse their earlier
mistake
of electing Gray Davis.
-You believe U.S. exports of genetically modified foods pose a
greater
threat to African nations than corrupt dictators like Zimbabwe's
Mugabe.
-You believe welfare is a fundamental human right and workfare is a
human rights violation.
-You believe religion is a scourge on our society, but becoming one
with Mother Nature by merging with the universal consciousness and
harmonizing with lunar reverberations will save us.
-You believe President Bush is an environmental criminal for
poisoning
the water with arsenic, but have never complained about Saddam
Hussein's devastating Iraq and Kuwait's environment by setting
intentional oil well fires and committing genocide against the Marsh
Arabs by draining their wetlands.
-Your car sports the bumper sticker saying that "it will be a great
day when our schools have all the money they need and the military
has
to hold bake sales," but oppose allowing the U.S. military to
volunteer recruitment tables on college campuses because of their
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
If the above has successfully profiled you, congratulations! You
have
won a one-way ticket to Paris aboard the massive cruise ship, "The
U.S.S.R. Michael Moore." Your ticket will be held at the nearest
Dennis Kucinich for President rally. Matricular consular ID cards
issued by foreign governments will be gladly accepted as
identification.
