Mighty Mike turns into Major Mike. Denver's crooks get new digs. The legislature rushes to adjournment. Even though there's no Friday Face Off (the Colorado Pols Facial Hair Desk is off getting a shave today), there's still plenty to discuss.
Fire away...
did anyone else see this over at daily kos? (repubs exempt):
a baptist church in north carolina kicked out all of it's democratic members.

"one of the local women who was excommunicated said on TV that it was like a cult. another man said that the rest of the congregation stood up and applauded as the democrats were told to leave."

this should be titled:
"at least they're not your ministers." otherwise, i'm speechless...

Problem is, with FoF in our backyard, I'm not sure our "ministers" are much better sometimes...

I have got to give Mike Coffman credit for this. Yes, me a raging liberal. He is putting his hands where his beliefs are. I wish him well and a safe return.

I imagine they got tired of having church members who are with a political group that is for abortion, homosexual marriage, and unbiblical priciples. It is not really different then the Catholic Church refusing Salazar and Kerry communion for their beliefs in abortion on demand. It is contrary to biblical teaching. A note to alfafa- we are a lot stronger with a group like FOF in our backyard that stregnthens the traditional Family and doesn't back off from the criticism.

I'd recommend that Arnold check out this week's episode of "Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t" on Showtime for a nice deconstruction of what a "traditional Family" really is. Granted, it will probably scare the bejesus out of the FoF crowd. The facts presented in opposition to the myths surrounding just what a "traditional Family" is and has been throughout history are pretty interesting.
Then again, damn the facts. It's probably all just Hollywood liberal claptrap.

Amazes me that those church going faith based folk can't seem to get that judge not lest ye be judged part down.
Oh well, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
