No it doesn't, except to the paranoid. Two groups mentioned here, both get "in the kingdom", but only one is held in esteem;)
It is also worth noting that this is the passage that gives Most Christians huge theological problems, specifically because they are Jesus' words and he is telling them to keep the law (Torah), which they obviously don't.
You're just silly. There is no Constitution left. They've all but killed it with various legislation from long ago to Patriot Act under Bush to the NDAA under Obama. They've taken First Amendment, Second Amendment,... away. And people are still fighting over who is less evil, (D) or (R).
Mat 5:18 KJV - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Mat 5:19 KJV - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
And the opposite is also true, in that socialists and communists think that every last minutia of life should be regulated "for the greater good". They are so bold as to even ban Happy Meal Toys. But it is only "evil republicans and big oil" that are evil, while the nanny state promoters are "just doing it for the children".
The whole thing is ridiculous and doesn't help anyone.
As for the banking industry, all the regulations and controls didn't and couldn't prevent the collapse, because they simply couldn't keep up with man's ability to skirt the rules to screw people. In this case, credi default swaps and derivative financial instruments.
I was using Solyndra as comparative example of government waste, so it is extremely applicable to the original post I was responding to, which made the case for 300+ million spread over almost a decade was somehow wasteful. And Solyndra is STILL making news, destroying perfectly good inventory instead of paying back its debts.
And no, the roll of government is not to prop up failing commercial enterprises with unsecured loans. This goes beyond "green" energy and goes right to the heart of political corruption. Solyndra could not get a commercial loan at any interest, the company was NOT viable, and yet Obama give 500 million to a campaign contributor's company only to have it go bankrupt months later.
Talk about government inefficiency. IF you want to support government propping up non-commercially viable technology, then give a grant to a university under the guise that any technology developed under the grant is in the public domain, or repay the grant plus interest and a higher tax rate on future profits.
The point being, you are mixing goals with actions and outcomes. The goal is green energy, my objection to Solyndra is not green energy but rather the political corruption and waste. 500 million in MONTHS is nothing short of robbery of the public treasury. And the fact that your excusing this because it is "green energy" is just simple minded tunnel vision.
I agree, we don't need military... gut it, bring the troops home from everywhere. We can't be the worlds police men. At the same time, lets gut Social Programs that can't prove they are worth anything. And for every "but" you give to gutting social programs, I get one "but" on military budget, and see how that goes.
Which, is the heart of the problem, nobody want to cut THAT program because it servers THAT constituency. So it doesn't get cut, and neither does the other thing. Which proves my point.
You realize you changed the subject of the anti Bush rant of the AC, who was pointing to Bush and Co raiding treasury on behalf of his cronies, while ignoring the exact same thing going on by Obama and his cronies? From where I stand (Libertarian) Obama is no different than Bush, and quite possibly worse. NDAA makes Patriot Act look tame by comparison. I mean have you LISTENED to Obama's explanation? You guys are starting to make Hannity look brilliant.
356 Million over how many years is chump change to both (D) and (R) parties. Hell, even your revered Obama managed to send 500 Million to Solyndra only to have it go bankrupt MONTHS later. BOTH parties are raiding the public treasure chest for their own goals.
To blame Bush only, as you have, is simply ignoring the other 1/2 the problem, and short sighted on your part. Bush and crew are exactly Obama and crew, only you like Obama and will ignore his malfeasance. Both parties are responsible for where we are right now, 15 TRILLION in debt, and will be MUCH closer to 20 by the time we have elections with no slowing down in sight. We are unsustainable economically, something GREEN liberals should understand. And no, taxing 100% of the income of the top 20% of earners won't solve the problem either, it won't even put a dent in it.
If you want my opinion, the solution would be to find several midwestern citys of similar size and give each contractor a set budget and time limit to build out competing infrastructure of their complete choosing. The one contractor that meets the goals of the project in the budget and time constraints gets the specs to build out the rest of the country. In addition, those specs become OPEN in ten years (or whatever) for interoperability and competition, meaning the buildout needs to be complete by then by the awarded contract or tough shit. Lets use COMPETITION, real competition, to accelerate innovation.
THAT kind of approach will put America back to work. We're Americans, stop the whining and get to building shit and kicking ass.
Doesn't mean they aren't there. FAT is still pervasive enough that you can't get away from 8.3. All you have to do is look at Movie and Music/Sound files, they all are.m4v and.mp3 and.wma and so on.
Here's one, how do you tell the difference between avatar.m4v and avatar.m4v and which one is the crappy action adaption of a cartoon and which one was the crappy cartoon masking as an action flick?
Wrong answer to my post. People who talk like you end up giving more value to the criminals than to victims.I expect such from someone like you though to write a response like you did, and you fell for it.
I would KILL, perhaps even in a painful and gruesome manner, someone raping my wife or daughters, which is NOT humane to them, but is humane to my wife or daughters. You are confusing not being humane with being inhuman. There is a distinct difference.
I live in California, and by the time the primaries come here, the race is already over. I don't get to vote for (D) or (R) Candidates for President, at least I don't have a vote that counts in any meaningful way.
Primaries do matter, but only for those "early" states. The reason we have a choice between Imbecile and Turd Sandwich is because we don't have meaningful elections.
Better yet, use the Microphone to pick up the Ambient noise, and generate a counter wave / noise cancellation in the stereo output to create a sound proof bubble around the cabin, making the ride even quieter than naturally occurring.
I don't know about you, but I've actually lit "iron" on fire. Quite easy if you have the right kind. Go get some Steel Wool and use a battery pack attach positive to one side, and negative to another and start chanting "Burn Baby Burn"...
I live in a city, which surrounds some unincorporated bits here and there. If my city had a city Sales tax, how would you distinguish between the the two sides of the street (literally) differently? Zip Code won't do it.
Granted this is hypothetical, since my city doesn't have a sales tax, but it easily could.

Where does the Bible state this? Exactly?
On the other hand, Jesus (Moped type) said ...
Mat 5:18 KJV - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

I reserve my humanity for people who act humanely. Is that bad?
On the other hand, not everyone in prison did something inhumane.
Romney vs Obama .. nuff said ... except ... I suppose it could be worse, it could have been Bachman

It isn't just this, it happens in Politics all the time. Typical Double standard.

Thanks, but ... no thanks.
Thanks, Fixed that already
