Where I give you my slightly quirky opinion, and you can give me yours, as long as you're man or woman enough to be civil and control your language.
Time (EST)
About Me
- Joe
- I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.
There Are But A Few Rules To Follow
1. Absolutely no foul language (including the use of asterisks). If you are not man or woman enough to control your language, you are not welcome here...go somewhere else.
2. I am not looking for strings of commenters arguing with each other, so confine your comments to the topic at hand and address your comments to me, unless you can be exceptionally gracious and polite.
3. Since this is my blog, I am the sole arbiter of what can be placed on this blog. My decisions are final and without recourse. All anonymous comments, unsigned, will be deleted, as will ad hominem attacks against me or others.
4. Within the scope of those rules, you may feel free to have fun here (I sure will). Sarcasm, wit, half-wit, nit-wit, parody, satire, puns (especially puns), etc. are encouraged.
FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.

Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

WHY I CALL HIM "PRESIDENT BO"
I call him "President" out of respect for the office. I call him "BO" (as in Body Odor) because his agenda stinks.
I also refer to him as our "Acting President."

It is a sin to tell a lie?
You are at home, alone, and your best friend comes to your door pleading for you to let him in and hide him from several 'Bad' men who are chasing him.
You abide his wishes.
The 'Bad' men come to your door. They have no quarrel with you, but ask you if you are hiding the person, your friend, whom they are seeking. If you say 'no' they will go away.
Do you lie to protect your friend?
Joe - Re the 'It's a sin to tell a Lie Video - I hate Liars - Joe.
And if Our Really Cool Guy Prez is lying to us Big Time - well then by gosh - Joe - I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.
That is a lot of Broken Promises - and a Huge amount of money for ANYONE to be spending - Joe.
Now this is Super Tuesday - so let's check out the Really Cool Republican Candiates for President - and while we are doing that - try to detect Which Of These Candidates Is Least Likely To Lie To Us For The Next Four Years.
I guess that eliminates Newt Gingrich - with the shifty lying eyes.
Thank You - Joe.
Have a Pleasant Day.
Joe.
Joe - How delightful that was.
And ya can be sure I sang along - Joe.
And my thanks goes out to
Somethin' Smith
and The Banjoes.
Thanks Joe - from the bottom of my Heart.
oh - and The Redheads.
Thanks to The Redheads.
No way Sue, at first I thought it was the Red Headed Fiddlers doing some old timey but Joe tricked me.
Dearest Bojangles Drakelet's here,
Although I cannot view the video, I am pretty sure the frailing gingers involved arpeggiatingly pluck banjos to render their old-timey tunes rather than draw bows upon fiddles for same.
Perhaps it is your reading comprehesion skill that has tricked you.
Though Joe be a Double Thumbing trickster of note.
Sheesh Joe, ya got me doin' puns now. I'm so ashamed.
Yes - Aquarina.
You lie to protect your Friend.
And you lay down your Life - to protect someone you Love.
Ducky - What do you mean?
How did Joe trick us.
I don't get it - ducky.
Ms. Hanes,
So?
Sometimes lying is not a sin then?
What if the 'Bad' men are instead Police Officers and your friend may, or my not be, guilty of some transgression.
Do you still lie?
Aquarius, buy a vowel you dunce.
How about an anal probe to find your sense of humor.
Aquarina - There is Really only one Person - at least at this point in Time - that I would lay down my life for - and that Person is not Capable of any sort of
Transgression.
And I never said that lying for That Person would not be a Sin.
I just said that It Would Be The Right Thing To Do - but would the Right Thing To Do - be a Sin?
Only the One In Charge can decide that - and He's not tellin'.
Joe - Ducky said anal probe.
Aren' ya gonna delete him - Joe?
You would if it was me - Joe.
Not fair at all.

So if I'm married and my wife asks "Do these pants make me look fat?", and I say anything other than "You ARE fat. Don't blame the pants." then I've committed a sin?
Every woman I've ever known (and that's A LOT) would rather be married to a sinner (on sooo many levels).
XO: I have no doubt that the women you know would rather be married to a sinner.
No doubt at all.
Birds of a feather...
XO - Yes.
I'd rather be married to a Sinner.
In fact - that's my Primary Goal.
Sinners are way better in, um certain important marital areas.
Way. Better.
Experience counts.
No, Aquarian. You do not lie to protect your friend. You tell the bad men who are chasing him to go away. If they do not and try to enter your home to find him, you shoot them. Liberals make life SO complicated!
Yeah, XO, the rumor is that sinners ARE better in certain important marital areas. Bill Clinton certainly proved that, Didn't he?
ALTC: "Do you lie to protect your friend?"
The old relativity conundrum.
Answer: No.
Now go figure that one out.
XO: "Sinners are way better in, um certain important marital areas.
Way. Better."
Not a surprising response, but wrong.
We live in a time of rationalisation, a time where there are no moral absolutes, no transcendent universals in our society.
The answer is indeed 'no' if you wish to return to a time of moral absolutes and transcendent universals.
ALTC: "The answer is indeed 'no' if you wish to return to a time of moral absolutes and transcendent universals."
I kinda liked those times.
Especially the transcendent universals.
Those times never existed Joe. Our history, or more correctly; our consideration of the past, is affected by hedonic editing - the good times remembered, the bad times forgotten.
The future ain't what it used to be and the past wasn't as good as we thought
ALTC: The past is much better than it used to be. It's gone.
Sheesh Joe, remind me never to take you along when I stroll down the memory lane on-ramp to nostagia highway.
