Delicious!


I suppose it is a start, but I'm not sure what putting "sanctions"
on a
bunch of Russian oligarchs is supposed to accomplish. We'd have a lot
more impact on Russia by severely limiting U.S. investment in Russia,
encouraging U.S. companies with investments in Russia to broker
them off
to corporations in other countries, to more severely limit exports of
any sort of high technology to Russia, and to sharply cut back on the
number of Russian diplomats allowed back into the United States.


Al Gore Sr. would have been penniless if not for Russian
investments.* Then
where would Al Jr. be?

Al Jr has his own scam going selling carbon credits on trees he
actually has no way to protect. It is not that much different than the
scams the TV preachers have. They prey on the faithful in the church
of environmentalism.


Oh...you differentiate between TV preachers and other preachers.
How...accommodating of you.

The brick and mortar churches are a major source of charitable work.
That is just part of your denial.




Some of them do decent charitable work, but they are still selling the
same religious bull****.

It is OK. Harry figures all charity should come from the government. Is
free. And they may need a speech writer to tell the people that the gifts
are free. I bet Harry doesn’t do a speech for free. My wife’s Catholic
faith sharing group provides several meals a year for a homeless shelter in
Oakland. All the meals for the year are supplied by volunteers. Extra
food is contributed by local merchants with a surplus. This along with
helping a couple of legal immigrant families. How much charity did
Atheists Inc. provide over the years? How many of those trips Harry
claimed to go overseas on to help the downtrodden did Harry pay for?
