Religious Lawmaker Wants To Ban Sports On Sundays
WSBTV ^ | 9-23-2005

Posted on 09/23/2005 9:39:35 PM EDT by Cagey

WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. -- Play ball! As long as it's not Sunday morning.

Alderman Darrel Leftwich is proposing that the city establish new Sunday hours for White House Municipal Park so sporting events could only be held in the afternoon.

"I am concerned that we are not sending the right message to the community by having tournaments and league play during worship hours," Leftwich said.

Leftwich said that he drove by the park Sunday morning on his way to services at Temple Baptist Church and saw that it was full of people at a soccer tournament.

"God our Father intended the seventh day to be one of rest and worship," Leftwich said during this week's city board meeting. He asked the city manager to draft an ordinance that would restrict Sunday hours at parks in the town, about 20 miles north of Nashville.

Alderman Farris Bibb Jr. said the city should go slow before enacting a change. "With all due respect to Alderman Leftwich, the seventh day of the week is Saturday," Bibb said.

Gathas: Song 14.1

Translated Text:



Now, Wise One, Bendva always obstructs me the most,

I, who wish to satisfy the badly protected through righteousness.

Come to me with good reward and support.

I am seeking illumination for him through good mind.

(Gathas: Song 14.1)



Summary Substance: After declaring his plan, Zarathushtra turns to an arch enemy, Bendva (Vedic Bandhu, a composer of the Rig Veda). He is the main obstruction in Zarathushtra's way. Zarathushtra wants to attend, in a rightful way, to the people who face the dangers of opposition. They have to be saved. He is praying for divine guidance and seeking solution through good mind.

Jimmy Carter.... kooking out

Proof the democratic party knows how to win elections.

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter delivered a shocker at an American University panel in Washington Monday: RAW STORY has learned he told the crowd he was certain Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election.

There is "no doubt in my mind that Gore won the election," the erstwhile President declared, saying the 2000 election process "failed abysmally."

He also snubbed the Supreme Court for getting involved, saying it was "highly partisan."

add this to Al Gore running in 08... and this will be really super.

Only down side I don't know How Jimmy Carter has no doubt in his mind when he said at least 3 elections were fair that every other election agency in the world said were corrupt

Howard The Dean : Not as stupid as most in his party

Democratic Party has a jewish problem

here is Howard's solution

Dean traveled with Steven Grossman, a pro-Israel activist and former DNC chairman, and with the Democratic state chairs of Arizona, Florida and Ohio. The travelers recorded their impressions on a blog at www.njdc.org.

He also praised Sharon... and didn't make good comments about Hamas.

It is sad when Howard Dean is the smart one

Ya know what......

I am in favor of a "two state solution" because any one state solution would destroy Israel.

But the psychosis of the people like Hamas is nauseating. And we now see why Israel destroyed many synagouges in the areas they left

WASHINGTON - Emboldened by Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and part of the West Bank, Hamas yesterday announced its plan to turn a synagogue in Netzarim into a museum that would display weapons employed by the terrorist group's members against Israeli civilians.A statement issued yesterday by Hamas said, "Qassam rockets and other locally made arms will be exposed, since it is the legal weapon that evicted the occupation forces."

And does anyone think Hamas will ever disarm with talk like that?

Deborah Orin: Al Gore May Challenge Hillary Clinton in '08

Al Gore is poised to make a comeback and could pose a serious challenge to Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential race.

That’s the surprising news from "Inside Washington” columnist Deborah Orin of the New York Post, who writes that the former vice president "is suddenly re-emerging as a vocal and visible Bush-basher.”

A Democratic insider told Orin that Gore – who is slated to star at a Democratic National Committee fund-raiser next week – is "keeping a very strong public profile.

"He was the first major Democrat to oppose the Iraq war. He’s keeping in touch around the country and doing a lot of speeches. You don’t do all that if your goal is to play celebrity golf.” Why should Hillary worry?

Iraq is the hot-button issue for the staunchly left-wing Democrats who have a major impact on the presidential primaries, and while Gore was loudly anti-war from the start, Clinton voted for the war.

Orin writes: "It’s one thing for Clinton to contemplate a 2008 anti-war foe like little-known Sen. Russ Feingold (Wis.). It’s quite another to face the MoveOn darling who won the popular vote against George W. Bush.”

A top Democratic strategist told Orin: "Americans love comebacks. "He could come back as the new Nixon – somebody who went into the wilderness and found himself.”

A good friend of mine and I had a discussion about where the heart and soul of the Democratic party really is. I think this, along with Clinton embracing raging kook sheehan makes it pretty clear

Once again.. be quiet hippies

Many MANY dirty hippies and allied Nanny scientists have blamed global warming for the hurricanes. But here is some more realistic science to put things in to perspective.

"The Sun is in a changed state. It is brighter than it was a few hundred years ago and this brightening started relatively recently - in the last 100 to 150 years."

Dr Solanki said that the brighter Sun and higher levels of "greenhouse gases", such as carbon dioxide, both contributed to the change in the Earth's temperature but it was impossible to say which had the greater impact.

Now.... We have warming on mars which we can't blame on SUVs... hmmm I wonder.... which has the greater impact

hmmm

Now we can of course drag out how the hockey stick model doesn't work... and other flaws with global warming science. But here is another big slap in the face to the theory that evil white male christian buisnessmen are destroying the planet

Editors Note: The Scientists mentioned in the article don't draw the conclusion I did. I drew this conclusion based on the fact the warming on mars is producing serious impact on martian ice caps.... and then I used logic. Scientists who want to control your life because they know better then you do not use logic when it conflicts with their desire to administer your life

Just when I thought these people were utter tools

-They surprise me-

bare in mind this *IS* a newsmax article so it may be a tad truth-enhanced.

Cindy Sheehan is scum. The woman is using her sons death to advance her extremist politics. Advocating people not pay taxes, saying America is worse then NAZI germany..the woman is a tin hat level flake.

here is her gag me reel

"America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for..."

• "We have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a 5-week vacation in a time of war."

• "When I was growing up, it was Communists. Now it's Terrorists. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything."

• "You get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine and you'll stop the terrorism."

• "Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."

• "George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans."

• "They’re not waging a War on Terror but a War of Terror. The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush."

Sane political leaders have avoided her.

Johnny Mac... he's not known for wise political choices when Unwise ones let him hog camera time

but Hildy girl... come on now. You'd think she had more sense.

But what I want to know is where is Chuck Hagel... this seems like the kind of thing he likes to do to talk to the people at CNN

so Larry's rule of the road

Don't talk to nuts.. especially if you want to seem presidential and not a whackaloon your own self

Air America: this is just sad

From the Radioequalizer

This isn't about politics, this is about sense.

Rush and people who are radio people in talk radio called for Air America to bringing it on because they were going to lose badly must be snickering.

Air America's ownership group which had to know that one of their members stole from a boys and girls club is now begging people to help keep them afloat.

what did Air America send you for my personal favorite nation in the world (donation)

For $50, they'll send three "official" bumper stickers, while $100 gets a "stylish" tote bag thrown in. The sucker who has everything might choose the $250 version, including the above and an on-air thanks from one of Air America's talk hosts.

or as some one on radio-info points out

Talk about cheap! Public radio has better offers than that. This sounds like a desperation move. How hard up for cash flow could they be? They are running spots but a lot of them sound like bottom-feeder PI (per inquiry) spots (no cash, they get a commission if anybody orders).

The least they could do is offer stock, then if the thing ever does take off people could see some return. Keep in mind folks, donations to a for-profit business are NOT deductible.

but in the end folks... if any of you out there are Air America fans I want you to think about this real hard. Lets assume Air America finally gets its head out of its behind. Air America's share holders sell the company and make a profit.

thats right people If your donations save Air America, you are making them rich

and when air america's board is supported by multi-millionares and multibillionares that makes me kind of ill

Gas Price Rant

Ok Children lets review M'kay?

The gas in the tanks right now, and over the weekend when we will be soaked with another gas spike wasn't brought to your gas station the day before.

Ergo from a strict supply/demand scenario front loading all the cost of any supply loss ( which may not even happen) in the begining... and keeping it when their may be a supply surge is.....

Price gouging thank you very much

Still more Deep thoughts

For those of you who know me, and those of you who don't, I've had something big going on in my life of late that has made me feel a tad awkward. My ex who... Lets just say during the period between our talking I've not always been as charitable towards as I would like to be in my heart...has started talking with me again on a regular basis.

She's had some bad stuff going on in her life, like really really bad stuff ( those of you who know me... you know of what I speak. Those of you who don't.... well I'm not telling). And things between us have gotten a whole lot closer. We've talked, we've listened.... and a whole lot of stuff has happened that really reminded me of the good in our past.

I've had some thoughts of "what if" and some serious whimsy in my heart... and I've had to temper it with some stone cold reason.

Well last night she reminded me of just how upset she could get me. What she did.... If some one else did it I would have been far more tolerant. But because of our past and because of how she used to do this sort of thing before it felt like a big slap in the face.

and as Charlie Murphy taught us in the "Hollywood story" segment of the chapelle show you don't slap a man in the face.

I probably should have kept my cool about it, but their was something that rung my head back to clarity.

I'm not anything -but- a friend right now to her. The stuff I let pass when we were a whole lot closer.... I really don't have to let pass. And If I do I am going to get walked over again. Its not to say she has designs of making me a floor mat, but what it is saying is that I'm wanting to lay out the road map of respect between us again.

I love and care for her as a friend, and if what was wrong between us before has really changed maybe more then that... But In our relationship in the past I let her do and say things that hurt me because I was in love with her. If we are really going to be friends *I* have to affirm my own value as a person.... thats something I didn't do before.

I wait the results of her setting me off.... frankly it aint real good, and I wouldn't be surprised if she stops talking to me all togther for a while.

I do love you bright lady, But I'm not going to tolerate what happened before. I'm going to say something now when it is a small thing before it becomes a huge thing.

I am sorry I had to put my foot down in the middle of what is going on in your life. But you and I have been togther when our lives were respectively deep in a septic tank.... so their are some things that have to be kept in check.

You say your starting to trust me, you say your starting to respect me.... Well the proof is in the pudding.... and lets just hope i got a nasty lump of pudding mix

Dear Ken; ( yeah I know what I said)

I'll update both your blog link and put up a post about your secret squirrel project a little later today

Deep thoughts.

You ever have a goal in your head, a direction and motivation for your life and watch it slip away from you. Thats something that has happened to me over the last few days. Part of it is motivated by my bombing a quiz in arabic because i was in a pannic about it, but it owes a whole lot more to the situation with Able danger.

I don't think I could ever get into something so technical with minutae like that but what I have rapidly been seeing is that even if i get the job of my dreams and I am there on the inside fighting the good fight.... Politics is more important then people's lives. Not only was able danger being ignored, but now a full court assault has been going on with all the people who had the courage to come forward. I am not sure I can do what I want to be when I grow up any more.

I could fight the good fight, I could try to get the powers that be to do things differently and nothing could happen.... nothing could happen. I am not sure I could live with knowing that kind of stuff. Knowing that I saw the bullet coming and my government let people die. I'd rather be a lawyer then be in that position. While being a lawyer would eat me up emotionally inside... I at least know some one might be responsible. No one seems to be responsible for their critical failures.

So..... I am in deep thinking mode

Kayne SHUT UP

Some people just don't learn

And he isn't finished yet - appearing on ELLEN DeGENERES' US television chat show this morning (09SEP05), West insisted Bush and other politicians knew America's Gulf Coast couldn't withstand a hurricane a year before Katrina hit.

"A year ago I was on tour with USHER and we had a hurricane hit Florida and everybody was saying, 'If this hurricane went to Louisiana, if it went to Mississippi, they wouldn't be able to handle it.' (That was) a year ago - and there was nothing done about it."

So USHER is the government now?

And while Mississippi is a horrid mess right now, and the effected areas of Alabama they aren't as bad as New Orleans

that had everything to do with the unique nature of New Orleans which was a probable outcome.

Now ... Had this been all the stuff mentioned int he article I could have let this slide

however...

He said, "Back in the days when it was time to clean the kitchen I would try to sweep the dust under the kitchen sink instead of really taking care of it, and if you spilled something on that floor all that dust came right up in front of your face. That's basically what the flood did.

"They have been trying to sweep us (African-Americans) under the kitchen sink and it was so in people's faces and so on TV... that they couldn't even hide it any more.

"Down there, people are living below the poverty level to start off with, before this happened.

Newsflash: People in New Orleans have been bellow the poverty level for decades now.

the fact you try to bring this up as race when not only has the "black" party dominated the city so have black -people-

go back to cleaning the kitchen Kanye maybe the dust will come out of your ears
