But, fortunately, we have a volutary military, otherwise, we would be miltarizing the Stae, which we see in Communist China, or other tolataliarian regimes.<br /><br />In regards to personal life choices, then these must be freely chosen too. We, in America, do not believe that another can subvert the rule of law in demanding allegience "to Jesus". Otherwise, we have totaltarian regimes, as the Taliban...<br /><br />Liberty costs, in regards to those who believe in it and want to do what it takes to defend it's principles. This is where ethics determines where one's ultimate commitmints lie and where one will "die for the right of freedom and free choice".Angie Van De Merwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617299120618867829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-34427274209939376932009-11-14T14:41:20.872-05:002009-11-14T14:41:20.872-05:00Free.

That is rarely the case.<br /><br />King David often comes to my mind when I hear about getting something for free (I Chronicles 21). I know I have taken this story out of context, but it still comes to mind.<br /><br />Freedom and free things always come at a price. Somebody, somewhere had to pay. Money, time or even loss of life. That is the paradox of "free." "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." That freedom was a high price. It cost Jesus His life and it costs me everything to follow.Alan and Aimee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971811445876335210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-37486368309495552442009-11-11T14:00:11.804-05:002009-11-11T14:00:11.804-05:00Well, if you consider yourself a moderate you sure...Well, if you consider yourself a moderate you sure got conned by a radical Marxist like Obama. I tried to warn you, but you went ahead and "drink the juice." I would think that a trained philosopher would be able to identify the "hope and change" con that went on last November. Now we will suffer the results for years to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-67390145811046950822009-11-10T20:05:15.076-05:002009-11-10T20:05:15.076-05:00Science News Friday is such a liberal rag :)Science News Friday is such a liberal rag :)::athada::https://www.blogger.com/profile/09046982982270546995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-71592502267497821762009-11-09T21:20:57.813-05:002009-11-09T21:20:57.813-05:00I have always found the hosts of Talk of the Natio...I have always found the hosts of Talk of the Nation and Morning Edition paragons of objectivity. I truly could not tell you how they vote given the discussions I have heard over the years. They really try to be fair to both sides. There are of course other shows on NPR that clearly lean more to the left.Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-47230536944999923142009-11-09T21:02:43.224-05:002009-11-09T21:02:43.224-05:00Yes, The Berlin Wall.
