WHAT IF 'BOSTON' HAPPENED WITH PRESIDENT ROMNEY THERE IN POWER RIGHT NOW ???? I WONDER,....

Just try to imagine this.

Think from this angle,..

What if the Boston Bombing happened just the same,..

Except that instead of President Barry O Douchebag there, We had President Mittens the Wily Rat,...

Hillary Clinton would be crawing out of her ever-lovin' hole of a warren,... ya know ,.. her retirement shadowy place,..

Chris Mathews wouldn't exactly have the ol' proverbial thrill up his leg,..

Matt Laure would be echoing Hill the Thrill rather quick with almost daily quips of "What Did Mittens Know ? ,... and "WHEN" Did he know it ???",..

Bill Maher right now ?? ,..why, he'd just be going insane as he would be screaming at how shallow and poor our Homeland Insecurity is now with 'ol Massachusetts Mitty !!

Oprah and the View / Wendy type shows would just be goin' fuckin' Nuts,... 'Women just so threatened by the Feeble and un-protective Mitt man ,..

Michael Moorov The Fat Soviet Fuck would basically be out picketing in the streets with his silly signs ,..demanding that Mitt steps down ,..as he preaches of his new movie about Poor Mitt "Bowling for Boston" ,..or some other worthless shit like that,.. and he'd be loudly bitching about how "Now TWO terrorist Attacks have happened on our soil with Bush and now Mitt ,..and how this is just such great proof that Repubs are weak and can't lead,..."

Dianne Sawyer would be saying that Mitt's failures as commander in chief make ol' Bhengazi look like frickin' child's play,..

Anderson Cooper might stay calm and objective,... maybe even slightly classy at CNN ,..but he would be quite irritated as he insists: "Where was Mitt the day of the Boston attacks ???" 

All the newspapers right now from USA-TODAY ( if it still exists ) to the New York Slimes would be running big headlines about the poor economy and Boston and how the two hurt Mitt ,..oh ,..and those Gas Prices of April 2013 that are 5 bucks per g ?? ,..why ,..they are all Mitt's fault ,..and "Polls" back it all up ,..

And ya know what else too .,... ??

It's all true because the average douche-fuck on our streets would be eating this all up and believin' it ,.. yeah ,..Because Sharon Osbourne on the Talk says so !!!

Ya know all the yahoos out there whose nose blows where-ever its told to ,..

Oh but do you hear that deafening silence right now,.. ??

Yeah ,..it's that media of ours with their hands off kid gloves approach to Barack the Schlock !

They're busy throwing lovin's for Boston everywhere right now ,... ya know,...advisin' all you'se what YOU CAN DO ,...Community-wise ,..for Boston ,.. when, where, and how you can send money to the United Way and the Red Cross n' all that,..

Yeah ,..you don't hear a Dicky Bird bit of even slightly bad about ol' Barry right now,.... do ya ??

And why should you ??

Because nothing is ever Barry's fault to David Letterman and Howard Stern and George Schlup-all-over-us ,....

And all the other Look the other way Puke Liberals,..

Right now, Boston would just be like this amazing media Scandal frenzy that would just be eating President Willard alive,..

He would practically have to frickin resign as he performs one mea culpa at the White House microphone day after fucking day !!

But not ol' Barry the Weasel,..

Nahh

it's all good there dog,...

he sends a thrill up legs still ,...

Willard and those mean old Flat-Earth Repubs just don't ,..

They need a glass of water,..

============

Note; Gop and Christian people are classy and nice: We don't blame Democrats when shit like this happens ,... but check them out ,... and look yourself in the mirror if you vote for these fucking scumbags ,..

They're on the wrong side of Life !!

Muslim Terrorists Bomb Boston - And with Our Weak President and his Apathetic Weak Voters too ,... I'm very worried ,...

Barack Obama is a Weak President,..

And his voters are Wendy-Show-Watching RHOA Types who ain't the brightest - or strongest - bulbs on the Proverbial Christmas Tree ,..

Oh sure,.. We all always hear how Liberal and Democrat type people are so 'educated' n all ,..

So enlightened and cultured,..

Sure they are !!

We always hear about how those Oklahoma and Texas backwoods knuckle-dragger types are just too boorish , brutish, and mean ,..and how we shouldn't elect them anymore,..

We should just pull the voting lever for Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer type Politicians,..

Colluders and appeasers,..

Gay-Friendly and Green-thinking "Progress-i-v-ists" ,...

Madonna For Attorney General !!!!!!!!!!

Ya know ,... We should be more "Open-minded" and Vote for Perez Hilton for Senator and No-Joy Beyhar for Governor ,..

And maybe Kathy Griffin for Congress,..

Or how about one of the Judds ??

Ya see how great they always turn out to be,..

Just Look at that Genius Al Franken that the Dimwits in Minnesota Elected,..

Nahh - In the Shark's humble opinion here,.. I'd rather elect Clint Eastwood ( Not the Creepy one from today but the guy from the Dirty Harry era Long ago circa 70's ) ,.. or maybe Chuck Norris !!

Electing weak Liberals ( Like Obama ) is a Green Light signal to Bad guys around the world that America really is a buncha Douchebags,..

Who can't defend themselves,..

And you can sit there and whine all you want about how Obama got Osama ,..and maybe he did ,..and maybe that's the real only reason that the jerk was re-elected ,..but I say the way America is now is very wimpy ,..and the way we now are ,..is an invite to terror - NOT A DETERRENT  ,..and from terrorists all over the world,.. and ,..who 'immigrate' here oh so humbly,.. and meekly ,..

Terrorists are attracted to weakness ,...

Not strength ,..

And hear me completely out;

Weak politicians ( Like Obama ) come with all this other horrible baggage too ,..

Democrat / Socialist / Appeaser types are government growers. They worry about dumb things,..

They waste money on stupidity ,..

They rack up massive debt,..

They rack up massive spending,..

They throw stupid parades ,..

Hiking up the Welfare State,...

They are busy looking one way when BAM !!

The bad guys strike from the other direction !!

Having Democrats in power will eventually result in more bad stuff like this I think,..

Not less,..

And I highly doubt this would have happened at all with President Romney or President McCain or The Post-911-Bush,.. 

But it's definitely gonna happen with a clown like Douchebag Obama !

North Korea would not be nearly as aggressive if some Republican was in there now,..

Neither would China, Russia, or other Muslim Morons ,..or any of that ,..

We made a mistake when we re-elected President dufus ,...

And Boston paid the price !

If those Russian Jerk offs or what-ever-they are/were,.. bombed us with Romney there, there would be hell to pay,..

If they bombed Boston with Bush in the White House,..they know that would be a very unwise move,..

But with Obama there,... He is gonna have to sit and 'study it for a while' ,..before he decides what to do next ,...

Barry O will turn this into a "Law Enforcement" issue ( Lol ),..

,...or maybe we all can sit around and argue some more about 'weapons of mass-destruction' and all that crap !! 

And the Code-Pink creeps can march around ( Yeah - Like they really care about our troops or anything,..) { Nahh,...these cowards won't when Obama is in there - They will for Bush though ,.. }...

Yeah - Go fucking argue with Larry King and Oprah some more you fucking American Moron !!

I'll keep pulling the lever for the guy with the "R" next to his name ,..

Think about it next time Dipshit !!

============

==========

By the Way ,..in other news, Jobless claims rocketed back up again for the fourth month in a row since Hawaii Barry got in for four again ,..

( Disclaimer Note: Romney is a weak Schmuck too ,...but he's way better than the Grief Goon we have now ,..) 

FINAL NOTE; ARNOLD SURE TURNED OUT TO BE A FUCKING JERK NOW DIDN'T HE ??,....

Final Note Part Deux :

Weakness and Toughness are way two different thangs !! Democrat Types are Good Street Fighters who can maybe beat you up and punch you out but they are weak-minded thinkers ,..who create a bigger WORSE SITUATION ,...By being idiots in the beginning ! IN THE FIRST PLACE - GET IT ?? !

Differences Between The Catholic Faith and the Lutheran Faith.

What are some similarities and differences between Catholic and Lutheran churches?

Answer:

Differences between Catholics and Lutherans.

The Catholic Church is a sacramental Church and always have been. There are seven Sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church; Baptism, Reconciliation, Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Sacrament of the Sick. The Lutheran Church is also sacramental and observes Baptism and Holy Communion as sacraments and the others as "sacramental in nature." Confession/Absolution (or Reconciliation) is sometimes referred to as the "third sacrament" in the Lutheran Church.

The Catholic Church believes in Transubstantiation. That is when a priest consecrates the bread and wine changing them into the actual Body and Blood of Christ while they remain under the appearance of bread and wine. This is a mystery of faith and follows Christs command "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have life within you." Catholics do not believe it is symbolic. They believe this because when Christ revealed this teaching (see all of John 6) His audience took it as literal and many of His own disciples left Him, yet Christ did not qualify this teaching. Instead , He left the literal interpretation to stand and only sought that His listeners have faith in Him as to how it was to be done.

Lutherans believe in that the body and blood are truly present in the Eucharist, but avoid trying to explain the mystery. Lutherans also reject a symbolic view of the sacrament. A Lutheran, when asked, would answer: Is it body and blood? -Yes. Is it bread and wine? -Yes. How? -It is a mystery. Why? -Because Jesus said, "This bread is my body. This wine is my blood."

The Catholic Church understands itself as the one, holy, and apostolic Church. The Lutheran Church follows the same creed and understands that one holy and apostolic church to be only known by God across denominational lines. The true Church is wherever "the word is rightly proclaimed and the sacraments rightly administered" according to official Lutheran doctrine. A famous Lutheran once answered the question, do you believe you have the one, true religion? "Yes, but we are not the only ones who have it."
Answer
Catholics believe that the baptism and being in the state of union with God by practicing the virtues of faith, hope and charity, etc. are what give us eternal life, however, Lutherans believe that you only need faith as given by God, and that the other virtues are the fruits of salvation, which are also given by God. Also Lutherans believe that Christ is the only authority in the church and Catholics believe the pope is, although only acting in a temporal capacity and as Christ's vicar. Everything else is basically the same.
Another view: It is not correct to suggest that Catholics believe that the pope is the 'only' authority, or that the pope's position is above that of Christ. The Catholic church considers the pope to be Christ's earthly representative only, and in fact the 'first among equals' regarding his position among the church's bishops.
Answer
The Catholic and Lutheran Churches have different views on the eucharistic rite.
Catholics believe that the body of christ is revealed to us by the method of transubstantiation. This term refers to the bread and wine changing from one substance into another- bread to body and blood to wine.
Lutherans rejects such teachings while still believing that Christ's body and blood are nonetheless truly present.  

Answer

Catholics were the first Christians, the first followers of Christ. Jesus charged Peter to be the rock on which He will build his Church, a mere mortal man to head His Church here on earth. He was followed by those we would call Pope. It is true that some authorities in the Catholic Church prostituted themselves by selling indulgences for money much needed for the Church. Also, Popes began to involve themselves in politics instead of just with souls. Martin Luther took great exception to the workings of the Church at the time of his era and chose to enact reforms with his fellow discontented followers. They did hold to many of the Catholic ways but adjusted to their thinking those which they disagreed. They grew as more converts disgruntled with the Catholic Church joined their ranks. I am Catholic and not very proud of those many dark years of the Church, yet I remain Catholic. I have attended Lutheran services on several occasions and was surprised at the similarities between the two.  

Answer

The term catholic (lower case 'c') simply means universal. Because Rome was in power during the time of Christ and Constantine later converted to Christianity and named it the state religion, the term Roman Catholic came about. However the first Christians were certainly not Romans nor known as Catholics. In fact the early Christians faced sever persecution from the Romans until the time of Constantine.
Now regarding Luther: He did take exception to the selling of indulgences and the proclamation of the pope that he could release souls from purgatory (which in itself has no Scriptural standing), but he had no intention of "breaking away" from the Church. When Luther wrote his 95 thesis and posted them on the door of the church in Wittenberg, his hope was to engage in a debate with the church leaders so that the church may be reformed--hence the term "Reformation". Because Luther's stance was rejected by the church, and his life threatened, Luther did break from the church.
There are many more differences than what are listed here and in the other responses. Lutherans have only 2 sacraments, not 4 or 7: Holy Communion and Baptism. Lutherans hold Christ as the head of the Church and confess that we are under the authority of Scripture. We are saved by grace alone through faith in Christ. Our works are a result of our salvation , not a means by which we attain it. We believe that Jesus in the only intercessor and mediator between God and man and that praying to Mary or the saints is not Biblically based and is not pleasing to God. I could continue writing on this subject, but I would suggest doing a search for the "Book of Concord" which contains the Lutheran confessions and Catechisms.  

Answer

There isn't really much difference. Luther didn't think the selling of indulgences was right, and wanted everyone to be able to read the Bible. Other than that, he was pretty mainstream.  

Answer

When I was Lutheran, as my family raised me, they believed that you were saved when you were baptized as a baby (sprinkled with water). Now that I am nondenominational, I believe in salvation through understanding and believing Christ, and I was baptized by being immersed in water which is not necessary for salvation, but God asks this of you, which symbolizes the new birth.  

Answer

Catholic is written with a capital "C" based in a devotional code, not precisely in a grammatical rule, as other sacraments are also written with a capital letter at the beginning of the word. This applies to English as well as to other languages within the Catholic church.
To the notion that the Pope cannot release souls from purgatory: Please let me clarify that the authority conferred to all Popes, including such to release souls from Purgatory DOES have Scriptural standing. Although, many Christian denominations separated from the Catholic Church, do not recognize the true meaning of Jesus words to Peter: "Over this rock I build my Church", which irrefutably places the Catholic religion as the original and true Church of God and Jesus on earth, there were also other powerful commands given to Peter that are similarly neglected by many Christians, including Lutherans: (Matt 16:19) "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven." I would like to specify that the power given to Peter to release souls from Purgatory is explicit in Matt 16:19, as when Jesus refers to "Heaven" is also talking about everything that implies the spiritual world, which includes the release of souls within the spiritual 

spheres of Purgatory. Peter, as the first vicar of the Church of Christ on earth, was also given the power and responsibility to transfer such authority and power to his successors later to reside in the Vatican: all Popes; therefore, they also do have such authority. 

As a matter of fact, the Catholic Church promotes and sponsors many ministries on which individuals can join in prayer and in many other devotions to gain indulgencies and the liberation of relatives and loved ones that have died and that for whatever reason is believed they could have gone to the Purgatory instead of going straight to Heaven. There are also groups that practice prayer for the consolation and reduction of the penance and sentence of all the souls in the Purgatory. The release of souls in purgatory in this case, would be granted by the mercy of God, thru the power of group prayer, as it is opposed to the authority the Pope has to do so, by the power of Jesus and God, conferred into him.
To the notion of reformation: History has registered the many atrocities committed by the Catholic Church as it has done it with countless numbers of religions and sects. Despite the negative perception provoked by many of those events, the Catholic Church rejects any reform in its principles as they are conceived as original and Divine by virtue of God, who established them through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Although Luther intentions were good and based in observation of corruption, Catholics understand, that the separation of many Christians is due to the works of Satan (through deception), which since the beginning of times have had the intention to scorn, divide and destroy the true Church of God on earth. 
.
Saved By Grace Only: Lutherans believe that the individual is saved by Grace alone/Faith alone. This is the doctrine by which the Lutheran Church stands or falls. By this, it is said is that since the Fall, man's will is bound to sin--completely. Other Protestants believe that one must choose in order to be saved. (This is referred by Lutherans as "decisional theology".) Lutherans, however, hold that man's will is not free to choose. There is no neutral ground from which man can stand to make a so-called objective evaluation to choose between God and the Evil One. Under the bondage of sin, man cannot choose and, even he could, he would not choose God. In order to break this slavery, God Himself must reach and grasp the individual to Himself. It is for this Christ came into the world and suffered on the Cross.
Why faith alone? One must begin with the total holiness of God. God only allows purity to come into His presence before His throne. Thus, if even a holy man were to come before Him, for the littlest trace of sin man would die.
How does man come before the Father? Man must be covered by Christ's own righteousness much like a child is covered by the cloak of the parent against the harsh wind. Lutherans speak of this as Christ's righteousness imputed to those who are saved. Christ's righteous covering is total and no amount of man's goodness can serve as his justification--even in the smallest measure. This represents the major difference between Lutherans and Catholics. Catholics also believe in Christ's saving work but they also believed man can earn merit salvation in part by his good works as well.
Other Christians claim "saved by faith alone" but are largely allergic to its actual meaning. Any provision where "choosing" and/or "being good" are necessary for salvation debases "saved by faith alone" into meaninglessness. Faith is not chosen. Faith is given. Good works are responses to God's saving work and are necessary in the life of the Christian. But good works are not channels of Grace.
Many will object and tell their stories of how they asked Jesus into their lives. Many of these stories are quite dramatic and all are heartfelt. The Lutheran does not disbelieve these accounts. But these accounts are not the last word as to what really happened. We don't know we are saved and bound for heaven because we can point to our 

choices and our personal holiness in following Christ. The devil knows how to make quick work of that and plunge we into doubt. We know because God tells us we are saved--that is our assurance.

=========================

I am not completely Sure How accurate this is but I copied it tonight from another Website ,...

I was in conversation with people the other day discussing the various differences between Christian Faiths such as Babtist, Anglican / Episcopalian , Lutheran , Four Square, etc,..

And I have often said that 'the closest' Faiths to the Catholic Church are Lutheran ( There is really very little difference - very nuance and minor here ) and Anglican ( also fairly similar ),... The Lutheran Church is rather Large in America to this day in 2013 even ,..I feel mainly because of the influence of all of the German immigrants to America and those they have spread their word to ,..dating back into the 1800's and beyond ,...

Martin Luther was originally a Catholic ,..who broke with the Church in the 16th Century as one of the earliest ( though not the first ) "Protestant" reformers ,..though I will often tell people that basically Lutherans ( Like Anglicans ) aren't really Protestants ,..at least in the same way as "American" Chirstian Protestant faith offshoots like the Babtists and the Seventh Day Adventists,..

Martin Luther was a really good guy - who many of us Catholics really revere and respect ,.. even though there are many who call him and (his German flock) a Heretic ,... and also , the Lutherans were Deeply hated and persecuted in Europe for their beliefs ,... He was the first guy to really break away on a Large organized level ,..and yes, it was much more than just "translating the Bible into German",..

But Lutheran Beliefs remain virtually similar in all ways to Catholic ,..of course a main one being ,..that they do not accept Rome as the leadership council with any authority ,..

But much like Eastern Orthodox Faiths and Anglicans,.. their belief system and rituals are almost identical to the Catholic Faith,..

I Pray for Martin Luther and hope he went to a Good place ,... and I still say ,..even if you don't agree with The Church,.. and even if they begin to accept and even promote wacky stuff,.. You still need to go to church ,..and look out ahead : Wacky stuff may be coming down the Pike !!

It doesn't mean to go join the Evangelicals next week ,..

The weird Good News; Lutherans don't use the King James ,...they read the Catholic Bible Only ?? Yeah - it's true ,..the 'ONLY' Protestants that do !!

'Couple of new ideas I put up at Huffpost this evening:

" Liberal / Democrat / Left Wing Type People's Goal is to balkanize Our country and break it up and eventually get states to peel away in secession : First will come Texas ,..and then will come others ,.. and soon,..it will be the end of America ,... Most Christian People Don't want things Like Abortion, Gay Marriage, Legal Weed, illegal immigration ( And Voters ), High taxes, RED Tape, More Forms to fill out, More Tests to take to satisfy the 'smarter than thou" Lib systems, Unions,  etc,... But these are all the EXACT things that Liberals live for and want ,..So we have an impossible impasse ,...Our Country is heading towards a split ,... We will have UN TROOPS "OCCUPYING" Places Like California soon ,..within ten years ,... You think it won't happen - YOU Better think again !! "

=========================================

" No !! ,...it's going to make everything cheaper !! This story is a Lie !! Obama is a Genius ! Millions of Weed smokers voted for him as they watch Wendy Williams show and play video games !! They can't be wrong ,...Plus Obama just gave 500 Million to Hamas ,...the guy knows what he is doing ! Plus, ..Lots of Taco bell workers who don't wash their hands,..they Love Obama ! And now we have Doctors imported from Cuba here who are Great ! My medical office is now the DMV !! WONDERFUL ! AND TAXES ARE LOWER - NOT ! "
