The eternal crosses infinitely all the way over to us on the finite cross. Even against the definitional and lethal disagreements within and between the Abrahamic faiths on instantiations of eternity, or finitizations of infinity, or mortalities of the immortal, the structure of the central question, as a dichotomy to be resolved into a unity, from incarnation to crucifixion to resurrection, survives all answering exclusions. We can even begin with the atheistic or heretical counter-narratives that insist that indispensable parts of the greatest story were merely story, that the humanly fallible texts amount to a pre-capitalist commodification for “franchising” purposes. Even the falsehood of the tale would precisely on its own level magnify it, as the greatest lie ever believed, in this the only world the closest a disenchanted perspective can approach to miracle.

only fluffing the robot because the robot was fluffing you, Tsar, you've been sounding like a fair fluffing would do wonders in getting your head up.

hey narc, as the second and third albums by the Sarah Palin Experience have gotten played, it's become a lot easier to recognize that it's all derivative drivel from an airhead guitarist.

you would be on pretty safe ground in saying that it's faulty. reading no more than what's here to read, and not the decision, I would hope that the judge's words reflect nothing beyond a single point of consideration in sentencing, because "he didn't think it was a bad idea" ain't an excuse.
if the judge used it as grounds for finding the defendant not guilty, it's an outrageous error and a Tsar tip-toeing around that is a Tsar infringing on the rights of the people and the law of the realm.

you mean that there was something wrong in returning the Gonzalez child?

@ CK MacLeod:
he can't help it. Cubanist communist fellow-travelers such as narc (and anyone who ever gave him a lollypop) all adhere to a strict Stalinist line and regard Maoists with typical Cuban hatred and loathing, often looking to steal hair, fingernail parings or menstrual blood for their semi-traditional Stalinist/West African ritual enchantments/purges, (and personal enjoyment).

@ narciso:
narc, you don't get to call them officials .... when they aren't.
were they officials or employees.?
when did McGovern or Madsen last hold employment in the gov't?

so sure he’s lying.

@ CK MacLeod:
if you read what I've said, I've not agreed with calling him a troofer. I go as far as " fool what rendered himself unsuitable for employment fool".
"
@ CK MacLeod: Nonsense. It's quite easy to speak of annihilating members of the organization until such time as the remaining members cease speaking the language of annihilation and ask for talks.
"
@ CK MacLeod:My position is that he's probably FOS but it doesn't matter whether he willingly signed that thing or was duped into signing.
Either is sufficient to render him an unwholesome addition to the executive branch of the federal government given that the petition demands that the previous administration be investigated because it was guilty of treason and the administration hosting Jones denies the truth of the charge and refuses to undertake such an investigation.
Bluntly, no damned lawyer could sign that thing and still serve.

yes, you can, quite legitimately. it's a suitable reply to people speaking that language.

Van Jones was correct in resigning. The petition was a major error.

narc, Is it much 'mudgeonly to flog the expired draypulller and ask you read comments 1 & 2 and then read the conclusion of the post

@ narciso:narc, read the post again and respond to the main point and I promise to stop pulling your tail.
Matter of fact, I'll go easy regardless. I still think you're cute.
But I would sure appreciate an occasional lapse into logic, just for the reassurance of it.
