My question for all of you arguing and bickering about this is a simple one. 100 years from now will the arguments posted on this blog matter as much as how you lived your life in public displaying Christ's love toward others and showing the unsaved world that we as Christians do not have to agree on everything, but we can agree that without Jesus we all are going to hell?

It's also not "getting someone back" or viciously attacking someone to simply reveal with evidence that someone is not being truthful, are acting vindictively, abusing their position and just plain not up to the job they have undertaken.
As I have stated many times before when you put your name on a claim and supply the evidence it's no longer gossip but something that can be examined, and either proven or disproved. An anonymous claim without any evidence is nothing more that gossip from a gossip.

So is it ok to post the names of those you know to be caught up in adultery (just an example) if you have the absolute facts about the situation? Would you run to one of the spouses and tell all? Can you see anything akin to troublemaking and being a busybody there? What does your Bible teach about such things?

10:04, I'm afraid your analogy has no place here. Adultery is between the parties involved, while the names Mr. B names are our elected officials, and that is all of our business. Huge difference in the two.

10:13, some things B posts are fact, some are opinion. He makes it pretty clear which is which, IMHO. You would be hard-pressed to show where he has lied on any of his topics or posts. A lot of you seem to let your personal feelings dictate the responses you make on here.

Whether you call it wasting or stealing when the situation exist that a public official has misspent tax payer money it amounts to the same thing. Look at the situation in Bell, California.
Closer to home Mr Speer has personally benefited for taxpayer money through the songwriters event where he was recognized as a $1,000.00 donor, given special personal recognition and privileges as a result. Certainly Commissioner Harwell has personally benefited by double dipping as an employee of the county and as a county commissioner, this without even being able to fully represent the 7th district.
Anytime a full measure is not given for a full day's pay is stealing or misspending taxpayer money. I could give other examples but the beach is just too pretty right now.

While you are busy "yo'ing, may I suggest a radio talk show that's worthy of your attention? The program is hosted by a Black American by the name of Carl Boyd Jr, and it airs on Sunday afternoons at just after 3 p.m. on FM 99.7. Tune it in if you dare. Someone told me about it yesterday, and i tuned in. I was totally impressed with this Great American.
Carl Boyd is a Black American Conservative who warns black people about the Democrat party and urges them to stop allowing the DNC to keep them in chains of dependency by way of throwing them entitlements. He begs blacks to stop allowing Democrats to presume that they are stupid. That's EXACTLY what Democrats think!They are NOT a friend of Black Americans! Furthermore, Boyd is pleading with ALL Christians to leave the Democrat party. They SHOULD!
A caller reported that Blacks MUST vote for Obama because he is their brother. This election is not about skin color! Boyd replied by telling the caller that Obama is NOT his brother and that blacks need to wake up and stop being led around like sheep. He is so ashamed of them. But then again, so are great Black Americans like Allen Keyes and Michael Steele. Just like Boyd, they have the same message for their people. Stop playing dumb for the Democrats. Here is a subtle difference between the Democrat and Republican parties. Democrats will keep giving you fish to eat so that you will depend on them to keep from going hungry. The Republicans will NOT keep giving you fish and promote dependency but rather will give you a fishing pole and teach you how to catch your own. I believe we used to call that personal responsibility. On a positive note, Boyd said that there are a lot more conservative Blasck Americans out there than we might think. He explained by saying that those who are conservative keep quiet about it out of fear of being called names such as Uncle Toms. What a disgusting shame.
Yes, Obama may win a second term, and I know that God's will must be done. I just hope and pray that God's will is the same as that of conservative America. We must send the community organizer back home to Chicago and get on with the business of rstoring what's left of our country. Heaven help us if Obama goes back in!
I truly believe censorship and gun control will be next. As Red Neckerson once said, "Wake up America"!

For all you who are whining because free speech isn't going your way at the present time, get over it.
As an American I have both the God given right and Constitutional right to exercise free speech.

Sometimes that means people say things that are untrue, stupid and incredibly insensitive at times.
I have to believe that intelligent people are well aware that not all blacks are any one thing, any more than all whites are any one thing.
Trying to make crime or child abandonment a racial thing is destructive to the idea of requiring all people to be responsible and act right. The problem isn't racial as much as it is ungodly and selfish.

Bill of Rights From The U.S. Constitution Amendment I

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Right now our government is attempting to prohibit free speech by defining parts as hate speech. There is no hate speech toward Christians only against other selected groups and very selectively enforced. Recently the man who made the so called movie that criticized Mohammad, was arrested by our federal government and a TV news reporter celebrated the arrest. Free speech is not only under attack by this administration it is under a severe assault.
The lose of free speech will be the loss of our nation.
Now as to the matter of my deleting posts, the guidelines have been posted and followed completely. There have been no deletions of post that were personally offensive to me nor has there been any wholesale deletions, period. Anyone that says there has been wholesale deletions is a liar of the lowest degree and I challenge them to offer any meaningful evidence that there has been such a deletion at any time.

Black people have to thank white people that they are not sitting in huts and spearing animals????????

Dear Google, if that is not hate speech, then there is no such thing.

I told you barrett would not delete that with which he agreed. Please send your letters to Mr. Lake and contact Google at the link above.

Well, actually black people should thank the Spaniards. We aquired the blacks when we defeated the Spanish Armada. Africans were slaves to the Spaniards before we got them. Wait, I guess that is another reason we should be thanked. We defeated the Spaniards. I think living in America as a slave for awhile and now having freedom and all the government handouts you want is much better than living with the tribes in Africa. Do you ever read National Geographic or watch NatGeo? Northern Africa isn't the most pleasant place to try and raise a family. Don't blame the society today for what happened in the past. We have a black president for God's sake. Even though he is a major failure, it should let blacks know that racism is only in their minds and kept alive because of them.

You, as well as some white folks, should take a lesson from the Mexicans and appreciate the freedom you have in this country. They work hard and hold family in high regard. The Mexicans I know think blacks are lazy and are a burden. I really am not trying to be mean, but just stating History and what I see and hear.

Where were you 8:17 when Terry Harwell was out in the streets calling a citizen a faggot and verbally attacking Barrett even though he was not even there? Where was your letter to the editor in the local paper condemning Harwell's hate speech? Is it only certain types of hate speech you do not like.
It is obvious that our county government supports hate speech by the way Harwell was slid into a job that he, in my opinion, is not at all qualified to have.

I would define myself as a Realist. Telling the truth about a large portion of a race of people doesn't make me racist.

The pathetic part is that you can call names but you can't dispute what I said. You are clearly ignorant, or not very smart. I would guess a lot of both.

8:33 Every thing you have stated has been disputed. A majority of the white people in Giles County are lazy uneducated bigots and get just as much or more government help as any other race. Look at the farmers taking our tax dollars for dead animal removal. Most of the farmers are white but still expect hand outs. The majority of hate crimes, violent crimes, crystal meth production, etc., are performed by white people. Look at the large marijuana grow houses that were busted on Sunset Drive in Pulaski; those people were white.
Other races just do not have relatives or buddies in government positions or positions of law enforcement that can sweep it under the rug. But we all know the reason you are called names is because you are one of if not the dumbest bigot in Giles County, maybe the state, and you can not dispute that.

There is a major difference in a welfare check one given for nothing and a check sent from a real disability, social security which we paid for, Medicare which we pay for and food stamps which are sending people on vacations and buying big screen TV's.

obummer hasn't rescinded those Acts via an executive order yet has he? It's hard to tell when he's issued 923 of them in the last 40 months.

Sorry 7:54, but you need to read you resource page in its entirety. Obama only issued 138 E.O.s, compared to 291 issued by W and and 381 by Reagan. As a matter of fact, he issued less than any of the other 13 presidents listed on the page you linked to. So, what exactly is your point?
