FBI says that the mass murderer in Orlando this a.m. was possible jihadist (leanings toward). Look for Trump to use this for political purposes soon on Twitter. These are the types of incidents where he gloats and says "I told you so".....and he'll reiterate that these types of situations could have been avoided if we don't allow just any religion across our borders. They're chopping off peoples heads after-all........all tweets without knowing all the details.

Any killings by extremism should be called out at all times.

And what do you think Obama will do? I bet he blames it on the guns and will not say a word about the man's religion.

We bought 5 cases of beer and then found out at the border that only 4 cases were allowed. So we had to leave one case with the border guards. I always thought they had a good scam going.
Now if you purchased beer/alcohol in Ontario you buy it the same as in the U.S. Either pick it up off the shelf, or if it is a smaller beer location you tell the employee what you want and it comes out on a conveyor (no names taken). In larger cities beer/wine can be purchased with your groceries though not so in the smaller places as of yet (but soon).

Also they didn't track what your alcohol consumption, you put your name on the slip so they knew which name to call when the order was filled.

Finally the 5 cases / 4 cases issue would have been re-entering the U.S. That has nothing to do with Ontario's liquor laws.

If you post any more lies on this subject, you will be held accountable for that. Consider yourself warned.

Also, keep in mind that the New Testament (the New Covenant) teaches that:

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

and

Romans 6:23 -
For the wages of sin is death

Pastors remind people that they death is the penalty for sin all the time. We are sinners and we are all going to die as a result. But a substitute has been provided for you, if you can accept that. His name is Jesus Christ, who came to take away the sins of the world, for those who believe in him and what he did.


#1: There is no such thing as "sin." Sin is a bogus concept that pre-supposes you should or should not do something solely because a higher being has deemed it bad.

People with developed sense of morality don't need the concept of sin in order to regulate their lives.

#2: There is no functional difference between quoting Bible passages calling for the death of gays, and actually calling for the death of gays. Unless you're actually trying to explain to people how it shouldn't be taken literally, is superceded by New religious law, or is an academic discussion of the Bible.


"There are instances in which both the Old and New Testament speak to the matter with unbelievable clarity," Swanson told his audience of evangelical Christians... "There's not to be any debate about it. You know what that sin is – it’s the sin of homosexuality."

"In fact in Romans 1 Paul affirms that this particular sin is worthy of death," Swanson says. "The Old and New Testament, I believe both speak with authority and we outta receive it."




So, literally, f___ any Christian, Muslim, Jew or anybody else who thinks those passages should be "received" or "speak with authority."

No doubt that is what the (Thank God) lame duck will do.

Maybe instead of some people hoping the killer is Muslim, and some hoping it's a Christian, we should all hope for "Never Again in America."
