I tried googling "Obama's new world order", but I only got 1 option on the right side (The sponsored links listing, correct?), and it's entitled "The Obama Deception". I'm not sure if the one that you mentioned has been removed, or if it's because I ran the google query while at work (We have automatic SafeSearch filtering there), but I'll keep looking for it and try googling it when I get home this afternoon. Please let me know if you find any other links to it.

There are bad apples in every group. Too many are quick to pass judgment on all of religion because of a minority of extreme fundamentalists. However, there are secular fundamentalists as well. Therefore, the problem is not religion or secularism, but rather fundamentalism itself. People just need to accept that others are entitled to opinions and beliefs that differ from their own and need to tolerate those opinions (Providing that those beliefs do not inflict harm upon others). I am deeply sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My own mother experienced a similar premonition at the time of my grandmother's death.

I would be interested in hearing from any participants that work for an airline on this, that has knowledge on booking rates for wheelchair-bound passengers.

Please try not to take offense, because that's not my intention, but while childrens' body mass may not spill over into the adjacent seats, they can be an equal or even greater inconvenience to the other passengers, and therefore the airline, in terms of noise, and the inability to adhere to the etiquette of airline travel. Look, I'm the father of two small children myself, and I realize that 2+ hours of sitting in a small, confined seat can be quite difficult for kids, because well, they're kids. My wife and I have decided against flying with our children until they are a bit older for exactly that reason. Your children might be very well behaved on a plane, but adults aren't given a "good behavior" discount on flights either.

If your body takes up more space than the single seat allows, then you should pay for an additional seat. It's just that easy and it's not an outrageous concept. It's not as if you're being forced to fly. You also have the choice to try and find an airline that offers more accomodating seat space. If such an airline doesn't exist, then it's your tough luck. You're not entitled to the perfect airline experience. If you don't care for the service that you receive, then you don't patronize that carrier any more and you spread the word to your friends. Trust me, the airlines are feeling the effects of their sliding quality of service right in their back pockets and have been for some time.

I see your point. It stands to reason that the ones who have had their faith twisted would fall in with the Antichrist. I think that the Antichrist will deceive a lot of people by a myriad of means. I think we share quite a few of the same beliefs, so I don't see it as you pushing beliefs on me. I think we're past the point of that particular worry, you and I. :-) I'll take a look at the website you've mentioned.

If I said something that gave you the impression that I dislike black people, I would be interested to know what it was, as this was not my intent at all. I believe that the Antichrist is going to be a very real part of the sequence of end-time events, but I am not prepared to identify President Obama as the antichrist, although I have compared him to the biblical description of the Antichrist, just as I have Ex-President Bush, and various other people of influence. Please don't think that I am calling you a liar, or trying to make light of your gift. I simply don't have enough evidence to discern whether the Antichrist walks among us, or to his/her identity. I am also not prepared to condemn Muslims as the followers of the Antichrist, although I am certain that the religious fundamentalists that carry out violence in the name of God have had their faith twisted and corrupted by Satan. I would be highly interested in hearing about the research that you have done to reach these conclusions. I promise not to be offended.

I would be interested in hearing the story of your experiences with the Word of Knowledge. I found the Wikipedia article that you mentioned, and I will continue to analyze it, as I find it to be deeply interesting.

I think that he is very charismatic, and I believe that he has the good intention of changing the country for the better, but I also think that he is naive and out-of touch with reality, in his stances on various issues (as many leftists are), and lacks the experience to handle the daunting challenges that his administration needs to address in the coming years. I don't believe that he is an evil man, or intends to do America harm, but I am concerned that he will inadvertently cause harm by way of his chosen policies, possibly to an irrepairable degree. One thing about President Obama that I couldn't care less about is his race. Don't get me wrong, the election of America's first African-American is a very noteworthy event. However, aside from a few unwanted, fringe, screw-loose, racist groups that choose to associate themselves with the right, I am convinced that the left places far more unhealthy emphasis on race than the right does.

I consider myself to be a person of deep faith. I also feel things coming to a head. I'm uncertain of whether or not they are the actual biblical end-times, as I had always imagined that there would be far less cognizance of religious prophecy even than in the world today. There are so many specific signs in Revelation that must come to pass, that could be avoided if people of influence were aware of them. Take the mark of the beast, for example. How could anyone who has ever read Revelation not associate a mark that would be placed on the left hand or the forehead as a sign? However, I am seeing things come to pass that are making this feasible. I see the rising wave in the identity theft, and I see the FDA approving ID chip implants. As someone who works in the field of data security, I can tell you that the security protocols are not good enough for successful implementation...yet. The perfection of quantum encryption is being worked on as we type. The advent of this recently developed technology brings the realization of the end times a little more feasible, than during other times in history that predictions have been made.

I pray every day that you and I are both dead wrong.

Yes, the gays face criticism and even hate-speech here. That's the down-side to free speech. But they are tolerated here. Violence against gays is not held as acceptable here in America. It is in many parts of the Middle East. And yes, war is hell. The politicians tell us lovely stories about our reasons for getting involved militarily in these nations, because it's easier for us to accept that we are "spreading democracy" or "bringing liberty to nations", but that's not the real reason that we're over there. The short and ugly fact is that we are over there because we need to have someone in power other than a genocidal zealot, and the people of these countries are unable to facilitate this on their own. Rare (if not non-existant) is the war in which non-combatants are not caught in the cross-fire. Especially when they willingly harbor the targets in their midst.

What will be, will be. I have a feeling that if the Fundamentalists don't directly cause Armeggeddon, that they will be an indirect cause, as their zealotry fuels the athiestic hatred of all religion, Fundamentalist or otherwise. Even if Fundamentalism (Of any religion, not just Islam), is defeated, we will have to deal with the Richard Dawkinses of the world, who look at religious belief as a form of brainwashing, or a mental deficiency that must be eradicated. As far as America's standing, yes, as it now stands we are in the way of the New World Order, but the Socialist leanings of our current President may change all that. He craves the approval of the rest of the world and will do everything in his power to bend the nation to that end. If the yielding trend that the majority of America has decided to take continues, our nation may very well simply fold into the New World Order. I hope beyond hope that I am wrong... "And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved." ~ Mark 13:13 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:56:31 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/04/12/some-arab-leaders-worry-about-what-happens-when-america-leaves-iraq/#IDComment18719360 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/04/12/some-arab-leaders-worry-about-what-happens-when-america-leaves-iraq/#IDComment18718769 Look at it this way: The rest of the world is moving toward trying to break our dependence on fossil fuels, which will eventually force the Arab world to find another export. Hopefully, a few more of these countries will do something smart like Dubai and start a tourism trade. In order to make this viable, they are going to have to deal with the chuckle-heads over there themselves (As I don't think they will do very well if tourists are regularly being abducted and then shown having their heads sawed off on the major news networks). I'm really trying to be an optomist and find a silver lining about the whole thing, since my gut reaction to the whole middle-east situation would probably make me sound like a tinfoil-hat-wearing crack-monkey. Just trying to make the best of being dragged through the mud, kicking and screaming, by the Socialism-loving majority that has taken over the country...

Are you listening to yourself, News? This reminds me of all the comparisons made between the actions of Ex-President Bush and the Sith Lords in Star Wars, Episode 3, which of course, was intentionally written to be a politcal commentary by Mr. Lucas. I personally encountered multiple libs who were certain that President Bush would somehow find a way to extend his administration under the premise of "finishing the difficult tasks he faces". These same libs will now tell you that these events were only narrowly avoided by the American public coming to its collective senses in the election. Even if you aren't a Star Wars fan, hear me out. Emperor Palpatine tricked the Old Republic into extending his administration, under the premise of needing more time "to finish the difficult tasks he faces". Now, don't make the mistake of thinking that I'm comparing President Obama to Old Palpy (Maybe he's just poor old Chancellor Valorum), but repealing term limits most certainly opens the door and puts out the welcome mat to such a evil despot.

I would hope that President Obama and the current Congress (Or any administration, regardless of party, for that matter), wouldn't be fool enough to repeal the 22nd amendment. It would be the starting pistol to the Second American Civil War, guaranteed. America will not go quietly into the hands of such a thinly-veiled dictatorship. For those of you who think that a repeal would be a good idea, have you gotten yourselves on the brain transplant list yet? Don't fool yourselves, attempts at voter fraud (of varying degrees) are made during most elections, and in all probability, more are successful than anyone would care to admit. Repealing the 22nd amendment would do nothing except encourage more of these attempts.

I would bet good money that the vast majority of us have engaged a Liberal over the last eight years and found the engine driving their undying hatred of Ex-President Bush is that "Bush is an idiot". I call these folks "Left-tards". I know, I'm so inpolitically correct. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Bush-fanatic (I think that he was a mediocre President - meaning he didn't solve the problems in our government, but he didn't run around showing his weinie to clerks either), but I require a better explanation of such vehement dislike and disrespect, than "He doesn't speak elequently". What surprises me is that the You're-a-poopyhead-stupidface tactics that the overwhelmingly leftist media has been utilizing is working! Personally, I'd like to think that people are smarter than that. The left has really figured out how to shape and harness the mentality of the MTV/Comedy Central/Entertainment Tonight generation. This is their ace in the hole. Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:24:29 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=10#IDComment17914608
