the South Carolina Code of Laws requires that, "Every member of a subversive organization, or an organization subject to foreign control, every foreign agent and every person who advocates, teaches, advises or practices the duty, necessity or propriety of controlling, conducting, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States, of this State or of any political subdivision thereof by force or violence or other unlawful means, who resides, transacts any business or attempts to influence political action in this State, shall register with the Secretary of State on the forms and at the times prescribed by him."
Anybody can bring notes to a speech, no crime in that, no disgrace. But if you're going to mock President Obama for using a TelePrompTer, you sort of can't let a Huffington Post blogger see "Energy" and "Tax Cuts" and "Lift American Spirits" written on the palm of your left hand, no matter how hard it is to remember tricky concepts like those.
Now Sarah Palin comes right out and says it, that she really is thinking about running for President in 2012. She says it in the same starry-eyed way kids talk about growing up to be astronauts, but actually seems to believe it, that somehow she can go from being this kind of pinup girl for her Tea Party friends to the White House.
Kim Burrell took the stage in a couture gown by Carolina Herrera and diamonds by Gucci. Whitney Houston stood at the front of the stage during Kim’s entire performance, and the crowd’s awe and praises for Kim’s voice and her new look cemented the night as a rebirth for Ms. Burrell.
It's crazy. So, like everyone has heard of before - there as been a One Child Policy in China for the last 30 years. Obviously for many couple they'd prefer to have a boy - to carry on the family name, to take care of them in their old age. I agree with attempting to control the population of an out-of-control population, but the policy should be two children. That way, each couple could have a boy to carry on the family name and a girl to take care of them as they age, or two boys for family name, whatever - as it stands, families are aborting after the sex can be determined.
I can't fathom the morning sickness, telling everyone 'we have a baby on the way' to find out it's a girl and having to abort it. I am very pro-choice. Every woman should be responsible with respect to reproduction, but if still you become pregnant and the situation isn't right in which to raise your child that there are alternatives to turn to. This is off point but I just wanted to share that.
So yeah, the Chinese have several abortion clinics in ever small town and hundreds in the cities. They have stiff penalties for those that have a second child and even force sterilization of the women RIGHT after they have given birth. Thank God for America.
I just think they are devaluing women and forcing children to grow up spoiled, not grasping how to share, how to think freely. I'd move....just to feel freedom as it should be.
Another thing. Did you know that the aborted girls can be sold as food - get quite a pretty penny for her as well. The cook will prepare her with vegetables and serve her up in a pretty bowl for a patron to eat. Seriously. In China you can get soup with a little aborted girl in it. Go search for yourself, can't stomach that again. But I read some later claims that it was hoax - that it never did happen. Pictures can be airbrushed, but how can you airbrush a little boiled fetus into some soup with herbs and vegetables around her? Someone ate her.
I say they need to get rid of the policy altogether.
We all have a gift. I'm glad for mine. I can sing, play the flute, I think I can write well, a few other things - and I have insightful awareness. So, with that awareness I still can't say for sure if I believe it. I did a little research on speaking in tongues and found out some very interesting things from a non-biased perspective. Some believe it, some dimply don't, lol. I'm somewhere nearest the tongue speakers. I want to believe it becuase I have experienced the Holy Spirit. My prayers are fruitful, I am blessed by any man's measure. I desire spiritual gifts. I'd like to speak to God directly, be filled with the spirit, to prophesieth:) I'm clear.
1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
It is that desire that draws me nearer, becuase I want to be closer to God, to Christ. I do know though that without speaking in tongues my thoughts and ways can still be edified, I can be straightened and be stronger in Christ. I struggle, yes. But I can still serve God with a curious mind rather than serve with a condemning spirit.
I saw this video, where this woman videos her disbeliefs with being slain with the spirit and speaking in tongues.
I applaud her for being open, and I pray that God graces her and forgives her.
This is how you respond when someone not only thinks they know you, but also when you are insulted. It takes a great deal of time to master the Art of Ebonics - don't take a stab at it on prime time tv.
