And so many doing this, ordering this, supporting and cheering this claim to be 'born again Christians.'

To any one in a church or denomination one of these christianists belongs to---run don't walk out of there before you too 'lose your immortal soul!'

Lots of charismatic churches pray in this sort of fashion --- 'Devil, get out of here now! Devil, take your hands off these people!' Like my brother said, these people address the devil much more often than they do God.

And now it's clear why--- the devil is their master and ruler--- telling them to eliminate health care, food stamps, CHIP , tear children from their parents, add infinitem.

The more problems they have and successfully solve the better.

Science fiction - Bujold's series about Miles. His and his planet's problems are horrendous, but by cunning, wit, and courage he overcomes and wins.

Historical romance - books by Roberta Gellis. Women deal with deadly threats to themseles and their families and win out in the end. Most of her books are set in the time of King Stephen (followed by Henry and Eleanor of Acquitaine) or the reign of their son King John. The problems are deadly, the dangers are real. But they are far removed from our lives and problems.

And we can vicariously participate in their struggles and victories. And sometimes be encouraged to take up our struggle with renewed hope.

I realize this doesn't work for everyone, perhaps only for a very few. But it might be something you haven't considered, and maybe it might help a bit.

Were these stops for the primary, and he's coming back for the general?

Reason DOJ gave for deporting her? 'Her labor supported terrorists'!!

Judge ruled she could stay, but DOJ ignored that judge's ruling.

This was reported on Chris Hayes program. Apparently DOJ bragged about their handling of the case. IOW another win in the war against 'terra'. (Indeed!)

20 or so yrs ago I heard MSavage say many times on his radio show that other countries were of zero importance to US. He often referred to 'Euro trash'.

A conservative christian college student in the mid 90s said what I think many Evangelicals/Fundamentalists believe today. She said we shouldn't pay any attention to people living in Europe because most of them have not accepted Jesus as their 'Lord and Savior'. The US should shun them to avoid following them down the path to hell.

He is also on the Southwestern faculty.
