​I tell you whose loving this new ruling...divorce lawyers. 

​No problem...I didn't take it that way.
I think too often many have a problem and automatically look to the fed gov for a fix, when they are causing / worsening the problem in the first place.
We are very capable of deciding who gets married and which flags to fly here in Texas (as are all other states) without meddling from the fed gov.
 

​My main point on most subjects like this is that neither gay marriage or the Confederate Flag or a million other things should be decided at the federal level...it's a state decision.
Each state can decided it's own solutions and if you don't like it, work to change it or move to one of the other 49 (or 56 if you're Obama).

Hope it doesn't crack. 

​It's coming...waiting for the first church to be sued for not allowing a gay marriage.
They don't want our beliefs forced on them, (which we don't, simply find a willing church or start your own with like-minded folks) but don't mind forcing theirs on us.
 

Atta boy, Mike.  This ought to give the Anti-Christian bigots a cardiac arrest!

Churches/pastors should not have to marry anyone they wish not to marry I thought they sometimes refuse to marry straight couples if they wasn't feeling it.

​Stop listening to the clowns that talk about Fox...most likely because they are on networks that are being clobbered by Fox.

I can't speak for Sarah Palin but she may just view things the way I do. I have two daughters whom conceived out of wedlock. I was disappointed but loved them no less and support them in everything they do. We've been blessed with grandkids. However, it has not changed my premarital beliefs one bit. Does this make me a hypocrite? 

If this is true, he should receive a medal, not be arrested.  Let someone hit my momma and see what kind of "battery" ensues...

​they will win 5. 6 maybe. Lumberton will spoil someones playoff hopes I think. 

The fed gov should have nothing to say about marriage (like so many other things, leave it to the states) if you don't like your state's stance on marriage, work to change it or move.

Gotta love Texas... unless you're a criminal.

Everybody loses at some point...we can't sustain this.

​Jerry Lewis meeting with Albert Einstein...that's good stuff.

Color TV Day
 
An early color TV, circa 1951. No widescreen, but if your reception was bad, you received an extra ghost of the televised image with every show!
 
Today in 1951, the CBS network broadcast the first color television show. The variety show included Arthur Godfrey, Ed Sullivan, Garry Moore and Robert Alda with several others, and featured appearances by the chairman of the FCC and the chairman and president of CBS. Only special color-ready TVs could pick up the broadcast, which was sent out to Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore from the network’s New York studio; black-and-white sets couldn’t see the telecast at all.
 
While this was the first commercial broadcast with 16 sponsors, color television had been in development for a decade. CBS first demonstrated a color system in August 1940, and NBC was secretly developing their own color broadcasts. In fact, NBC supposedly set up a color broadcast from 30 Rockefeller Plaza in 1943 to Princeton, New Jersey. The show featured a young Jerry Lewis, famed dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and Arlene Woods. The telecast went out to a single viewer, but he held more scientific clout than anyone else: Albert Einstein. After the show, the cast was driven to New Jersey to meet their lone audience member. Forget Twitter: this was the first immediate feedback for a television program.
 
While we don’t know what his reaction was, we do know that he and Lewis discussed the theory of relativity. That moment should have been the first color broadcast!
 
 

​What flag a state flies has nothing to do with the national forefront...it's the business of those in THAT state.
 

Are we in danger of losing "Dukes of Hazzard" reruns?

Personally, if someone killed a member of my family, I wouldn't care if they hated them or not.  The crime should dictate the penalty, not an emotion.

A few years ago when I was in detectives we were called out to a brutal murder. A guy broke into a home and then raped and murdered a young woman. In the terms of the street, he “lawyered up” and demanded his right to remain silent. So he sat there while we booked him and completed some of the paperwork. He was complaining of being hungry so my partner and I, without telling him, went and got him a Quarter Pounder with cheese meal deal. After he ate it and after he finished, he started crying. He started saying how nice we were to him after what he was accused of. He then recanted his request to remain silent. We had to record him saying that it was he that re-initiated conversation because once a person invokes a right, the police cannot even ask him again to reconsider. After a guy says that he wants to remain silent or a lawyer we cannot go back in an hour later and ask if he has changed his mind. Once invoked, the right stands unless “he” changes his mind without prompting. So he then made a voluntary statement of the entire murder or basically a full confession. What if we had social media 20 years ago or 24 hour media that is running out of stories and the headlines screamed, "LOCAL OFFICERS BUY BRUTAL KILLER A HAMBURGER". Would the family be mad that we treated this killer nicely in our custody after he very brutally killed a relative? Maybe. Looking at the results, would they be mad that without any abuse or violating any person’s rights that we were able to get a full confession? It is easy for those on the outside of an investigation to point fingers when in reality they have absolutely no knowledge is what is being done or why. Just like the ongoing investigation of the two escapees in NY, I am sure the woman co-conspirator is cooperating and not because the cops are being mean and abusive toward her. The old saying goes that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar and sometimes that applies to very serious police investigations. It is like taking a confession from a child molester (what I did for two years) and telling him/her that you understand where he/she is coming from. So while it is easy to yell, “OH MY GOD the police bought this despicable person a hamburger!!!”… is it because they felt sorry for him or were simply trying to solve a despicable crime with that honey?My partner and I were able to help solve a fairly heinous crime doing just what you accuse these officers of not being very bright for doing. 

An evil person set out to damage the black race and do further damage to race relations in this country. A terrible tragedy, but there was no rioting in the streets, simply people of all races gathering together to mourn, cry, pray and forgive. The result was passionate heartfelt church services across this country and hand in hand peaceful walks of all races. The result is millions praying to our Lord almighty for peace and healing which may improve race relations. Out Lord can take a tragedy like this and use it for good.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
