"Cowardice, and lack of common sense and integrity is to blame. You can't BUY courage or common sense or integrity... either you've got it or you don't."
Is this the way all Liberals think in your mind.. even the ones who serve in the armed forces?
"No, I didn't say that."
"I assume you are asking me where did I learn about mysticism. My first encounter with mysticism is experience with it. When I started believing in God I went to various churches and meeting places. I wasn't aware of how many different denominations and cults there were claiming to be Christ centered, or included Christ in their philosophy. One time I talked to someone who started off claiming to have an IQ of 170. That should have been my first clue that something wasn't right with him. He told me the Bible was one of five books (representing five major religions) he reads, because they all (collectively) represented what he believed."
Nope, still can't find it. I didn't say he was a mystic. If you had asked me about it, I would have told you the guy appeared to regard himself as a mystic. That doesn't mean he was... I didn't believe anything he was saying OR implying about himself. If you told me (or implied) you were a mystic, I wouldn't believe that either.
Clear?
"Is this the way all Liberals think in your mind.."
Liberals don't think in my mind. They think in their own minds.
"even the ones who serve in the armed forces?"
They think in their own minds too. Why would liberals in the armed forces be any different?
By the way, the Wizard of Oz gave Dorothy's three friends a heart and brains and courage. He didn't demand payment for it.
Temo: Re:If you had asked me about it, I would have told you the guy appeared to regard himself as a mystic.
Iamon lyme: Yes... but it's hardly a good example of 'mysticism', and the original telling of the event made it look like you met him in some 'mystic Christian' church lol
"By the way, the Wizard of Oz gave Dorothy's three friends a heart and brains and courage. He didn't demand payment for it."
He didn't give them, he just showed them they already had it in them. In some respects an analogy of someone who's confused about how to interpret their emotions and feelings correctly and of the over coming of the likes of panic attacks and other fear/flight driven feelings.
"Liberals don't think in my mind. They think in their own minds."
Your mind is wrong then, as everyone thinks... or, everyone 'is' and sees their thoughts. Depending on your philosophical standing!!
"No one needs to be a so called 'Washington insider' to see which way the wind is blowing."
Your a tornado conspirator? Obama caused it in your mind???

I was stating a fact of life.... unless you believe there are hosts of liberals who've taken up residence in your mind, and are doing all their thinking in there. I don't rent out space in my mind to liberals OR conservatives.
Iamon lyme: That liberals don't think... Or just in your mind they don't.
... Conservatives don't think in your mind also...
Fascinating... Your mind is completely free, unless those damn liberals take away that liberty or the conservatives make it smaller.
"He gave the tin man a clock (a ticker) the scarecrow a diploma and the lion a medal of honor for courage. So yes, he did give them the secular equivalents of a heart and brains and courage."
Secular humans don't think in my mind. Neither do feminists.
"Secular humanists haven't learned anything from watching the Wizard of Oz, because they act like you don't have a brain unless you go to college and get a degree. No degree, no brains."
Isn't that stereotyping? Stereotypes don't live in my mind!!
(V): Really? I was trying to follow yours... so I guess this means we are both walking around in the same circle, and following each others footprints.
By the way, thanks for not answering that last question. I'd appreciate it if you just sat on it and didn't say anything about that. Mums the word, okay?
Iamon lyme: It's ok... I've adopted the standard of not answering as laid out in "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister". Also with contributions from 'Prime Ministers question time' and Saturday and Sunday politics shows where saying nothing is the norm...
.. also, it seems to be the standard here.
It'd be nice if that changed... a Common principle.

(V): "Is this the way all Liberals think in your mind.."
I know what you meant, but it was an odd question. So I answered in much the same way you've been answering my questions.
The straight answer to your question is, I don't sit around imagining what liberals do or how they think. Over the years I've watched how they form committees for drafting bills, letting a few republicans onto those committees (to make it appear non partisan) and then ignoring their input. They'll load bills with outrageous pork (like money for studies to prove men are no different than women) and MAYBE throw in a few budget cuts. Maybe. But the so called budget "cuts" are a joke. They aren't actual cuts, but are freezes on increases. If the budget stays the same and the projected increases are not included, THAT is what they will call a budget cut.
No one needs to be a so called 'Washington insider' to see which way the wind is blowing. And you don't need to only read or listen to Fox news to get this information. You can get enough of it from main stream media sources to see what's happening. When Bush senior said no more new taxes, the left eventually convinced him to go along with a small increase. After that they claimed he lied, and they laughed at him for going along with THEM. I'll wager you went along with the choir on that one, and were singing that song too. Am I wrong?
