“So Obama wants to bankrupt the coal industry knowing it will raise the cost of electricity which will then be passed on to the consumer. Now tell me how this helps the hard working middle American who is already paying upwards of $150 a month on electricty?”

Tim Keller writes about his new book, The Prodigal God. "What’s the book about? It’s about being ‘prodigal.’ The word ‘prodigal’ is an English word that means recklessly extravagant, spending to the point of poverty.

"Sen. Barack Obama's views on life issues ranging from abortion to embryonic stem cell research mark him as not merely a pro-choice politician, but rather as the most extreme pro-abortion candidate to have ever run on a major party ticket." - Larry Huffman
I think the phrase "...punished with a baby..." sums it up rather nicely. - Forrest Cox
From the page: "the question whether years from now Americans will have to wrestle with collective shame, just as I have had to deal with collective shame over what has happened in Germany in my childhood for my entire life." - Renee Ann
“I have been evernote user for over a year using the 2.0 ver. I am excited to be able to use the 3.0 ver but have hundreds of note in the older version. Anybody figured a way to move these into the newer version?”
