Conservative Outpost has Republican presidential survey on their
website.
Along with picking candidates of choice - first and second candidate
preferences - it asks least favorite, most likely to win, your issue
priorities, as well asks important demographics for conservative
voters.
The results are going to be released prior to Super Tuesday's
primaries.
Have your say...

I'm sure everybody has heard of the Westboro Baptist Church in the
news. Yeah, that group. The ones who protest funerals and proclaim God
hates ____ and ____ and ____and fill in the blank.
Well Popzara.com got brave and decided to interview prominent church
representative Shirley Phelps-Roper to her explain the philosophy
behind the church.
http://www.popzara.com/page.php?id=204
Religion's bad rap in some people's eyes is caused by people who hold
views like her church. Maybe upon reading the interview readers can
get better understanding about the motivations of those views. Or it
can simply function as a deterrent to behaving in those ways or
holding those views. Maybe it can allow people to define themselves in
comparison to her religious views and strengthen their beliefs through
the comparison. Strengthened by disassociation, perhaps.
In either event check out this interview. It can expose the church in
more ways than one.

"Believe me," the snake said, "when push comes to shove you can always be
sure that an animal will vote for his
own species: a rat will always vote for a rat, a skunk for a skunk, an
eagle for an eagle, and so on. That's just the way it is "
"But I'm the only ass in this forest," the ass said.
"Yes, but you can always make the other animals think that you consider
them like your own
kind. Just remember: whenever you're talking to a group of animals,
make them think you
regard them as the most important animals in the forest, in fact the best
animals in the whole
world! Just tell them what a great contribution they've made to this
forest and how all the other
animals ought to be happy they're here--even though the odds are that
most of the other animals
really can't stand them. Compliment them, flatter them, tell them how
important they are; in
short, make them believe you really, really like them and that all the
other animals ought to do

MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY
I do believe in Martin Luther King.
It is everyone else that I don't believe in.
I do believe in non-violence.
Not one single bomb, not one bullet more than whatever
is made necessary by our oppressors, in order to get across the
message that our kind will not be degraded, dehumanized,
ignored, or exploited for political purposes.
This day ought to be uplifting, but it has become little more
than a glaring reminder of America's hypocrisy.
Every sweet-talking, sleazy used-car salesman of a politician
wants a piece of Martin Luther King.
It isn't just Mitt Romney, bragging that his Dad marched
with Martin.
It is people like former Congressman "B-1 Bob" Dornan,
who, when he wasn't busy battling with "lesbian spear-chuckers",
was bragging how he had marched with Martin Luther King, before
it was fashionable.

South Africa church programme steers ex-combatants from violence
By Kerry Swift
Johannesburg, 16 January (ENI)--A South African church-backed
group that helps former combatants involved in violence during the
apartheid era to play a peaceful role says its life skills programme is
needed in a country where those who have not found a place in the
system often resort to violent crime.
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the final days of apartheid. At
the time, the apartheid government used surrogate forces to unleash
violence in numerous black areas. Entire communities were
attacked, and there were high death rates as a result as well as
considerable attendant psychological trauma. As a result of the
violence, communities were militarised.

miserable. Ego vir videns.63
400. The greatness of man.--We have so great an idea of the soul of man that
we cannot endure being despised, or not being esteemed by any soul; and all
the happiness of men consists in this esteem.
401. Glory.--The brutes do not admire each other. A horse does not admire
his companion. Not that there is no rivalry between them in a race, but that
is of no consequence; for, when in the stable, the heaviest and most
ill-formed does not give up his oats to another, as men would have others do
to them. Their virtue is satisfied with itself.
402. The greatness of man even in his lust, to have known how to extract
from it a wonderful code, and to have drawn from it a picture of
benevolence.
403. Greatness.--The reasons of effects indicate the greatness of man, in
having extracted so fair an order from lust.
