It’s really too bad that we’ll never see this in New York. Then again, even if New Hampshire passes this bill, the Feds are likely to trample on it anyway, since they have no regard for the tenth amendment and haven’t for generations now…
Edit:
It makes me even more skeptical that the states will succeed with such moves of sovereignty when I read articles that discuss Obama’s movements in the past three years and his further attempts to streamline government. Normally I would welcome “streamlining,” but with his track record, I wouldn’t trust the man to streamline a mosquito. Mark my words, this is going to be about consolidating power and money, not dispersing it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I noticed you left some comments, but did not leave them in disqus. I typically always respond to comments on my blog, but when they are not in disqus, I can’t because they are not “public”–and I don’t like private conversations. You said something in the AS thread that I thought was interesting: “I’ll be sitting down with my KJV and a concordance to the original Hebrew and Greek, and looking up the Scriptures that you both quoted to defend your arguments.” It would be great if you would come back to the blog and maybe follow up on this comment in the disqus combox. It would be great to dialog about this. I would like to understand your rationale for determining this your best method of inquiry.
In Christ,
Brent
I’ll see if I can figure out how to get disqus to work on my cell phone – my internet connection is limited to my cell when I am at home, or using the computer at my parents’ farm when I am there (as I am now). I’ll get back to you once I figure it out.
Thanks, Brent!
By the way, my apologies for the private commenting. I had not realized that commenting the way that I was, was a private forum. I thought it WAS public. *blush* So much to learn about the blogosphere, even when I’ve been in it a while…
It just doesn’t show up for *everyone* to see. Those who view it with their mobile device may see the comments. If you choose to view “the whole site” you probably can use the disqus comments. Regarding reading about Catholicism, I recommend the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc.htm
Also, you can use the search function on my blog. I’ve written on quite a few of the topics you’ve mentioned. I also recommend the site:
http://www.calledtocommunion.com
For certainty, I’ve written:

and
http://www.almostnotcatholic.com/2012/02/taut-this.html
this is also good:

Regarding purgatory, I’ve written:

I just posted a bunch of links for you to read in response to your last comment at my blog. I think it was spammed. You may want to check.
