Summary: First lady Michelle Obama Saturday visited the Florida megachurch where one of President Obama's spiritual advisers is the pastor. She encouraged faith-based groups to join her campaign against obesity, saying "your bodies are temples given to you by God."
Comments:
Her husband is attacking my Church and she is speaking about her body being a temple of God.
back in Florida again at our expense.
Does the plane ever sit still long enough to change the tires?
*
A far easier solution is to modify the SNAP / food stamp rules to limit purchases to healthy foods, such as what WIC permits today plus a few other healthy things like potatoes. Instead, she wants to tell those who feed the hungry to watch what they eat.
*
“Did she pass out contraceptives and coupons for free abortions?”
I wish her mother had availed herself of such.
*
She went there to pray her butt doesn’t get any fatter.
*
Her husband is attacking ALL of our churches and religious freedoms of the USA.
*
Perhaps she is a Hottentot, a real African tribe known for big butts.
*
Gee, which is a bigger threat to the United States of America, obesity or government intrusion into areas of life for which it has absolutely no Constitutional warrant?
*
SOME women (not mentioning any names) would look better in a burka.
*
When she loses forty pounds I’ll start laughing. Until then WE EAT!
*
I would not listen to a preacher who is a “spiritual” advisor to obama.
*
The Nazis took over the German Lutheran and Catholic churches and installed their own leadership. History surely repeats itself.
*
Paula Deen: "Michelle Obama loves fried food and ate more than any other guest I’ve had on my show."
--- Since this statement was made all the way back in October, I don't know why I've seen an influx in mentioning it. Maybe it's so Freepers could have enough time to forget Deen's followup comment: "it was easy to see by her buff arms she follows a healthy lifestyle, but it didn't stop her from enjoying the food. Everything in moderation!”
*
I just can't get over this women. She is such a loser. Who is her adviser and who makes these stupid decisions for her. She is so embarrassing.

Reconciling Ayn Rand with the Gospel
Requested by Anon
Article from American Thinker
Summary: It's fine that Ayn Rand was an atheist because Pope John Paul II probably dug her stuff.
"I know that many Christians read Rand and want to stand up and cheer, but at the same time are racked with guilt because of her atheism and decidedly anti-church professions."
Anti-church? Hardly. Anti-organized, dogmatic institutions, regardless of origin? Absolutely.
*
I don't know that much about Ayn Rand. Did she proclaim herself an atheist or was she branded an atheist like Thomas Paine?
I know Paine believed in God but didn't believe that Jesus was the literal Son of God or God in the flesh.
It sounds like Rand may be in that category. But I don't know.
*
Everything great in Western Civilization -- the Rights of Man, modern science, free markets -- all stem from the Christian religion.
That's why the leftists hate it so much.
(Of course, a lot stems from Islam too: pedophilia, rape, murder, subjugation of women, jihad, boys humping boys... got to give credit where credit is due.)
*
Ayn Rand’s philosophy is interesting but evil. Either God is on the throne of your heart or you are. If you are, then you are serving the Devil himself. Enjoy the ride.
*
I love how she flees an atheistic nation to a Christian nation and realizes how good it is but says, “Too bad its not atheistic enough.”
This is a typical liberal problem: after they completely ruin a state with liberalism, they move to a conservative state and think, “Hmm, its so nice here, but it needs to be more liberal!”
*
It is interesting that this article if featured at this time of year when Christians commemorate the resurrection. Ayn Rand the objectivist yet she rejects the most objective religious fact, the resurrection. The resurrection actually happened.
Rand was right on her stand against collectivism, I’ll give her that, but as a Christian conservative when you leave out the “Christian” part you can count me out. No wonder she is such a darling of the Libertarians. Rand is an atheist, that’s all I need to know. Her so called objectivism is just so much blah, blah.
*
>> “ To argue that the work of atheists be dismissed is to argue for the dismissal of a large percentage of the advances and breakthroughs in mathematics, physics, and biomedical science that have been achieved over the last several centuries.” <<
.
Sorry, but that is false.
Until the age of government financing of “research” few atheists produced anything at all.
*
Payne sure sounds like an atheist.
"The bottom line is that Paine did believe in God, just not the God of The Bible.
There is no other."
There is no other.
*
[argument between two Freepers:]
1: "Apparently you believe one should love his neighbor more than himself. Any liberal would agree with that. Thanks to people like you we have a collectivist society."
2: "Everyone already loves himself. When there’s a fire in a building, who stays in to fry?
Jesus is obviously saying - “You already love and take care of yourselves. So, now you should care about others the way you already care about yourselves.”
But his first commandment is to love God. The second part, which is based upon the first, is to also care about others.
This is not sectarian, but univerally applicable.
And your accusation that caring about others is collectivism is insanely laughable. You will not find less of a collectivist than myself."
1: "Your simplistic interpretation misses the point.
God loves himself first of all yet shows mercy to insolent humans.
Besides, aren’t you the Hindu who promotes wanting the government to dictate to people what they can or cannot do in their private lives"
2: "God’s position and conciousness cannot be imitate by human beings.
Moral absolutes are essentially the same in every religion, that is why they are absolutes.
Private life activities like abortion? Porn? Rest stop sodomy?
Libertarianism is the kook anarchy ultra fringe element of the left."
1: "I'm not familiar with all the terminology or intricacies of your pagan religion but isn't it basically pantheistic? ya know... we all have a spark of divinity or some such? God is in everything... yada yada. What exactly is God's "position" and what is it about his consciousness that cannot be imitated? Moralists of any stripe are all the same. They always contradict themselves claiming they want what's best for their neighbor when in reality they only want to impose their own selfish interests."
2: "Makes no sense. You are basically saying anyone who promites morality is bad; ie - immoral. You sound like a libertarian who wants no holds barred porn, dope, prostitution and homo-agenda everything.
IOW, an immoralitst. People wither promote morality or immorality. Your choice. I make my choice clear. I guess you do too, since you fault me for not supporting dope, porn, prostitution and the homo-agenda."
1: "One of my absolute morals is that anyone who worships a false god deserves death.
Should I have the government enforce that?"

"Was Obama Chewing Gum During Joplin Memorial Service?"
Article (and video) from RealClearPolitics
Prolly The coke he was snortin gave him chewys
*
..of course, got to hide that tobacco smell
*
He should have worn the patch for the ceremony, instead he made the unwise choice of Nicorette.
*
Nicorette? Jonesin’ for a Kool menthol?
*
I am surprised anyone still watches this man, I don't have the stomach for it.
*
It sure looks like it, that worthless, disrespectful pile of maggot infested OOZE.
*
He was just mouthing his favorite Reverend’s favorite qoute, “The Chickens are coming home......to ROOST!” in regards to the tornado killing those privileged white folk.
*
I don’t care what he was chewing. But it Disgusts me that he was allowed to sit in the front row.
*
Do we really need to ask questions like this? 130 people died in the twister, and he spent a week in Europe, partying his ass off.
He spent two nights at Buckingham Palace, drinking $1000 wine and playing ping pong.
He is an insensitive, aloof, chump. And the MEDIA fights over who gets to blow him. Get used to it, this is the “up is down” world we inhabit.
*
Michelle loaned him her cud.
*
I still feel very, very sorry for the people that he uses as photo ops. Someone needs to turn down his attendance requests/demands.
*
also note his ‘applause’
it was the equivalent of ‘yea, yea, whatever’
