Ron Paul questions Bernanke about world currency
>> ^volumptuous:
Ron Paul: "blah blah blah for 9/10ths of my time, then I'll ask you 100 questions at the end you'll not have time to answer, then I'll finally get to my point, which is the conspiracy of the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.. IS THERE ONE??"
Ben: "No."
Paul: "Are you sure?"
Ben: "Yep."
fin
You've missed the point - As far as Ron Paul is concerned - he gave Bernanke an inch - but it was enough for him to indite (hang?) himself.
I mean, Ron Paul is just getting Bernake on record - thats functionally useful for all sorts of reasons.
And this conspiracy of one world government tosh is not at all representative of what was said in any sensible way. I think you have largely misunderstood the content of that dialogue. Or you are just very loose with your opinions.

Latest Terrorism / Fear Campian Ad from McCain
Its sort of a clever idea for advertising, but I can't see it washing. Its ludicrous to think McCain will magic away the troubles vectoring in on the US.

Was Jesus just another sun god
But all that aside:
From 7:43 onwards I was gripped by the logic, and utter persuasiveness.
So in the end who cares about the loose research. The pure and perfect parrallel with the path of the the sun is totally compelling to the open mind.
The discussion is transformed from
"is there a pagan precursor to the story of jesus?", to
"Did god made Jesus follow the script of the pagan cultures' sun god story just to screw with our heads? or is it just a continuation of a mega-cultural tradition?"
Was Jesus just another sun god
Ok I found this very very interesting and a bit dubious. So I went on a little mini mission - what I was most interested in was the birth day of Horus, which I could not find.


What I did find was this rebuttal (and a few others closely modelled after it)
http://www.kingdavid8.com/Copycat/JesusHorus.html
So what I became interested in was this statement:
"Horus’ mother was not a virgin. She was married to Osiris, and there is no reason to suppose she was abstinent after marriage. Horus was, per the story, miraculously conceived. Seth had killed and dismembered Osiris, then Isis put her husband's dead body back together and had intercourse with it. In some versions, she used a hand-made phallus since she wasn't able to find that part of her husband. So while it was a miraculous conception, it was not a virgin birth."
I went to what is probably only one of MANY versions of the Horus story, the famed "Book of the dead"
And of Horus' conception it reads:
"[Isis] sought him untiringly, she wandered round and round about this earth in sorrow, and she alighted not without finding him. She made light with her feathers, she created air with her wings, and she uttered the death wail for her brother. She raised up the inactive members of whose heart was still, she drew from him his essence, she made an heir, she reared the child in loneliness, and the place where he was not known, and he grew in strength and stature, and his hand was mighty in the House of Keb."

Which sounds like an immaculate birth to me.
What I haven't done - is look through the rest of the document to find out if it mentions Isis having sex. And if it does, then I need to find out if the Book of the Dead is an amalgam of older fables (which I suspect it is). And if it is, does one of these fables, in its discrete form, portray Isis as a virgin? thereby proving there was a view/tale which pronounced the Sun-god of a virgins birth.
And if it does, the same treatment should be given to the rest of the claimed parrallels.
It seems to me that allot of the rebuttals (though im sure they dont claim to do this) find one, or even multiple accounts that do NOT gel with the tale of Jesus.
I'd like to go through the sources on by one, I wouldn't be surprised if some/most are not legitimate. But the fact that the book of the Dead can be INTERPRETED as correlating with one keystone aspect of the birth of Jesus makes me mildly interested. Im sure its way less water tight than portrayed, the entire religion debate would be totally moot if it was that easy.
I've got more important things to do, so Im hoping someone has already done this for me

Palin on Abortion Clinic Bombers - Not Terrorists
>> ^gorillaman:
You people draw your morality in crayon.
The idiots who bomb abortion clinics are animals, and they should be executed, but their tactics would be perfectly legitimate if their cause was legitimate.
wha-ha-ot?
So its someones cause, which is in essence personal opinion which defines whether something is legitimate (in what? in America? To you? To Inuit's?)
