Illinois Governor Arrested

Inna - I thought profanity and obscenity was forbidden on here.  I am extremely offended that you have taken the word HOLY and used it with such an ugly word...Make fun of me all you want.  Guys I'm tired of playing the ugly game...YOU GUYS WIN!  I'M OUT!

If the moderators don't take comments like that off, AR will be ruined.

Jeff and Lisa Sellers - actually, profanity is forbidden in some other groups you must be hanging out in...

Personally, I am offended by the sentiments you've expressed thoughout your comments on these posts.  The human being in me is offended that in this day and age there are people like you in the world, and that we are sharing the same country.  I disagree with everything you have said, and find it beyond distastful, and yet it would not occur to me to ask anyone on here to "moderate" your comments.  I suppose that makes me a crazy liberal.

PS: If I said Holy Cow and told you I was a buddhist, would your still be offended, or would you assume I just called you fat?

Inna, Great to share comments with you once again it is always an Honor. Merry Christmas and Happy (prosperous) New Year to you and your loving family. YOU ROCK GIRL!

Hugh and Sellers, My question to you both:

84% of Black church attending  EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS voted for Obama

68% of Hispanic church attending EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS voted for Obama

39% of  White church attending EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS voted for Obama.

Do You believe we are all on the path to hell for voting for and supporting our President-Elect?

That is millions of CHRITIANS YOU are judging.

Not that you asked me, Linda.. but I havent heard them say that.  Have they said those exact words?  That People who voted and support Obama are on the path to hell?  I seriously dont see that comment anywhere from them but if  its true we are all going to hell.. I am pretty sure that Hugh and the Sellers are the kind of people who would support Obama even if he didnt vote for him.  I didnt vote for Obama, yet I will support our President, as we all should.

 The President should be respected for his position, this goes for OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT BUSH, ALL PAST AND FUTURE PRESIDENTS.  This is just common courtesy.

I know my coment will make some people mad but please realize that I am just being respectful of the position of the President.. I dont care about statistics and copied and pasted stuff off the internet..

As I told Noqui recently.. I just don't understand why we cant move forward and think positive.  Not that YOU arent I am just re reading all the comments and these are my thoughts...

I hope you are having a good day!!!!

No, Linda, that is not what I ever said at all!  I have some Christian friends and relatives who voted for Obama.  I HAPPEN TO DISAGREE WITH THEIR JUDGMENT AND PREFERENCE FOR PRESIDENT...NOT THEIR SALVATION!!!  IN MY OPINION...OBAMA WAS NOT THE BEST CHOICE...THAT IS ONLY MY OPINION!!!  OPINION!!!

ABORTION AND HOMOSEXUALITY ARE AN ABOMINATION OF THE LORD!  HOWEVER, THOSE ARE ONLY 2 ISSUES THE PRESIDENT ELECT AND MANY DEMOCRATS BELIEVE IN.  I NEVER SAID THAT ANYONE WAS GOING TO HELL FOR VOTING FOR OBAMA!!!  THAT'S RIDICULOUS.  I JUST DON'T THINK OBAMA MATCHES CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES AND VALUES VERY WELL.  I think there are Christians who overlooked his beliefs on these issues when they voted.  I'm sure there were things about the Republican ticket I overlooked, because I believe so strongly in the SANCTITY OF LIFE AND MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN ONLY! I think there were other things about Obama that must have led them to vote for him in spite of his stance on these things.  I don't believe the polls too much, but they don't surprise me much either.  It is sad to say, but I also believe....HERE I GO AND I KNOW I'LL PROBABLY BE CALLED A RACIST HERE AND EVERYTHING ELSE...I ALSO BELIEVE there were many blacks and even hispanics that voted for him on the basis of race alone.  I'm sure "blacks" were thrilled to see a candidate from their race and that is fine.  They should be proud, but not proud enough to vote on race alone.  If John McCain was black and Obama white, I WOULD STILL HAVE VOTED FOR MCCAIN!  IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR FOR ME!!!  HOWEVER, i DO BELIEVE THERE WERE MANY ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT VOTED FOR OBAMA ON RACE ALONE.

If Michael Steele or Cond.Rice were running, I'd vote for them.  Their skin color is black by the way.  It's not about race for me...I'm a values voter.  My good Christian friends that voted for Obama just so happen to believe that Roe vs.Wade, all the abortion stuff, homo marriage,etc. will not be reversed anyway, that it is all too far along and they believe in the MAJORITY of Obama's other views more strongly than McCain's.  NO, I WOULD NEVER TELL THEM THEY WERE GOING TO HELL...YOU WERE REALLY REACHING WITH THAT COMMENT.

Inna and Linda, you all are being really ridiculous!

Beware of false, blind patriots. If history has shown us anything, is that we need to speak up when we think our leaders had failed us. That is not un-American or unpatriotic. I'm reminded of the story of "when they came for the Jews", but the storyteller wasn't Jewish so he didn't speak up. And when they came for him, there was no one left to speak for him.

Point is, yes the President deserves our support and respect- but this is not a monarchy. When he screws up, we have to make sure he's accountable. Or else why bother with a democracy if you can't voice your displeasure at elected leaders.

Why is it the moonbats always yelling blasphemous comments about the Messiah and then get offended by holy shit? Jolly winkers, Batman, I think my knickers are in a twist!

Tana, your right, the time has come for us to move forward. Although, I think I will tone my comments down about the outgoing POS leadership we have now. Can't wait for this Epic Fail to be over.

Jeff and Lisa - I have no problem with any of your reasons for voting the way you did. I do have a fundamental issue with your choice of descriptives and tone when you speak of those whose lifestyles or beliefs you disagree with.  If you want a government that mandates tastes, manners, lifestyles and beliefs, I think you are in the wrong country. We do have a separation for a reason.

Lastly, to both, you and Tana, it never ceases to amaze me that you choose to display your bigotry and hatred in an open real estate forum, where last I checked, most of what you despise belongs to one protect class or another.... 

Inna Hardison - the gay-loving, get your freaking noses out of my PRIVATE LIFE liberals.  Funny how that whole PRIVACY thing was supposed to be a conservative agenda...

I wonder how many Black people said "I'm voting for Obama just to stick it to the man" Though, I would believe that you would believe that Sellers. You probably don't mix with the other races very much, do you?

Obama ran a strong campaign on issues that many people cared about. Like ending the disastrous war in Iraq. Like investing in Green Technology, the new economic boom in this country. Like strengthing education. A single payer health system. These are all things that Americans overwhelmingly voted for.

McCain ran a horrible campaign, basically recycling GWB's failed policies on the war. He was clueless on the economy and his VP- let's not get into that.

Sellers,

Thank you for clarifying your beliefs about POLITICS and RELIGION. I agree totally with you. I apologize for assuming you also believed as Hugh and his friend do.

They believe that ANYONE who voted for  Obama who is Pro-Choice and Pro-gay is deceived, un-christian and unless they REPENT for voting for Obama before they meet their maker they are INDEED GOING TO HELL!

I have ATTEMTED to NO AVAIL to make them realize that we Christians who Voted for Obama have Nothing to Repent for REGARDIND OUR VOTE AND SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT ELECT. I voted for him because I believed him the SMARTEST choice. IMOHO!

While I wish there were No Abortion I do believe it is NOT the government's job to make laws regarding a woman's body. She will stand alone before God. I also do not believe the Taxpayer's should pay for abortions.

My vote was based on the economy, terroist threats, the war, health care, education and many issues I felt more comfortable with Obama. I DO NOT BELIEVE voting for Obama makes me the Horrible person Hugh and Nick say I and others are because we have consistently supported Obama.

You are new here. I can assure you if you go back to political posts and comments in my posts and others you will KNOW just how, in no UNCERTAIN TERMS these men have attacked Christians who voted for OBAMA.

They certainly have a right to believe that way and I certainly have a right to disagree with them and Represent those of us who KNOW we are Christian and voting for Obama most certainly does not need Repenting of any more than voting for Bush (and I did 2 times) because he did not make abortion illegal in the eight years time he had to at least TRY to do so.

Again, Thank you for your reply. YOU ARE 100% correct.

Jay,

Just saw Blagojevich give is latest news brief. HE MUST BE CRAZY! He stood there saying he has done nothing wrong and will prove it. Good Luck and Bless his heart.

Linda - Thanks for humbling yourself and actually trying to understand what I have been saying. I really appreciate that.  Most of us are probably closer on things than we realize, but BOTH sides are guilty of POLARIZATION in an attempt to be "right" or to win an argument.  I'm also relieved to know you don't favor abortion.  I realize it is a personal choice and maybe at this point it will never be illegal. You know it just struck me that murder of a human outside the womb is also a personal choice and we give people the death penalty for that.  Anyway, that's another discussion.  You also said you don't believe in taxpayer $ funding abortions.  I'm afraid the democratic agenda is headed that way if not doing it already.

I'm tired of trying to win arguments.  I just want to be real and see this great country preserved.

I do love people of all races, religions or no religions.  However, when this Noqui and Inna and Mike D. try to start describing Christianity for something it isn't, I'm going to call them on it.  Hugh was right with his comment to "hate the sin" and "love the sinner".  All sins are horrible in the sight of God.  A heterosexual sin is just as bad as a homosexual one.  Adultery is just as bad as homosexuality.  I think there are those whose convictions are so strong against abortion and gay marriage that they would never vote for a candidate who condoned either one.  That doesn't necessarily mean they think everyone else who voted for him is going to hell!  By the way, what is IMOHO?  I'm sorry I don't understand what that stands for.

NOQUI AND INNA - You all are just downright hateful!  Btw, I have many friends of different races and religions. Most of my life I have been apart of multicultural churches and visited foreign countries for missionary work.  My wife and I are very active in heading up the benevolence ministry at our church that helps poor people of all races,religions,sexes,etc.  In fact, I grew up in an innercity church in downtown Houston where my dad was a minister.  I learned how to be compassionate to people of all socioeconomic, racial backgrounds.  I have been around the homeless, the convicts, all the way up to the multi-millionaires.  I've learned to respect people of all backgrounds.  However, that doesn't mean that I am not allowed my personal opinions and preferences.  It doesn't mean that I can't hold strong convictions.  I've seen the poor enabled and crippled by the welfare system.  I've seen the criminals who carry guns and  then wondered why the government would want to take away guns of the honest citizens who would use them for hunting and selfdefense.  Please Read Psalm 18:2-7 in the Old Testament of the Bible.  I'm through discussing with you guys.  It is doing no good.  I sincerely hope and pray you all will find peace that passes all understanding in the Lord Jesus Christ and that we will some day be able to embrace as brothers and sisters in Christ in heaven b/c this world is not my home, I'm just passing through.  It just breaks my heart when Satan infiltrates the hearts and minds and turns them evil.

Noqui-Sorry one last thing.  Please remember "to hold accountable" the next President who screws up as you have talked about. Bill Clinton was really never held accountable and I wonder if Obama will be.  I can't believe you are talking about accountability with all the crooked Pelosis, Franks, Kerrys, Clintons, Blagojeviches and other radicals out there that you seem to so quickly support. 

Noqui~What gets me is how you guys bought all of Obama's lines, hook line and sinker. He is not even in yet and already backpeddling. The majority of politicians lie and a great many are corrupt. Your man obama came out of a history of corruptin. Maybe the Governor is not nervopusbecause he knows things that aren't being released yet. I think Barrack means well ands will try to do his best but  coming through on all the things he promised is just not possible. G.W. your enemy came through with loansfor the auto makers today. Congress didn't and if he was as evil as you make out he could have just said, go ahead fail let the next president  sort it out. I don't trust any politicians but I surely don't trust the ones that promise the moon. To me it doesn't matter I will never vote for a Pro-Abortion candidate. In my mind all the other issues combined do not equal that one.

 I believe that nothing that happens in this world can affect me as long as I stay faithful.  But I have always hated hypocrisy and  our man Barrack does noy seem to have that strong of convictions to me. Before we can judge a man as a politician we need to judge him by his character.

Just my opinion 

Mike~Withdrawal in 16 months has now become go along with the present plan of 30 months

       Raising taxes on those makeing over 250,000 has become, just let the Bush tax cuts run out in 2010

For one of the most Liberal senators(which helped him win) he has a decidedly center right cabinet~Praise the Lord.

We shall see after he is actually in office and I do agree with all those positions but they are not the positions he was elected on.

I predict that by the end of four years he will do a decent job but the left will hate him as much as they currently hate Bush. Hate is what they do well anyway.

When will hard working Americans stand up and throw all these bums out. We talk and blog which amounts to doing nothing. But I think this country is headed to a revolution. I wish a newspaper reporter would take a look at all of em and disclose the truth and the other politicians need to turn the crooks in as well.

Hi Jay

It appears that many of our public officials have lost prospective and place themselves above the people who vote for them. In this case the governor if convicted needs to spend time in jail.

Good luck and success

Lou Ludwig

Jay- After reviewing your blog and reading the comments that have & the number I have decided to feature it at:

EXPRESS WITH WORDS AT ACTIVERAIN

Jay - I wasn't able to feature your blog because it may be to old or deleted!

Every now and again I like to stop here to read how ridiculous the far left and far right can be.  Both extremes can be very dangerous.  Read the comment thread folks... freaking amazing.  Even though a lot of this commentary is downright sad, it literally does make me LOL.
