  3. Really..... I assume since you determined there is not a lot of value in Adam's Guide that you surely must have downloaded it and read it - RIGHT! OR, did you just decide it would be fun to make a disparaging remark about the owner of this site and his knowledge of the dinar. And just think - he allows you to take advantage of all the information on this site for free - what a nice way to repay him for his kindness! You might want to remember an old saying I used when my children were causing problems, "What goes around, comes around!"
  4. Oh... what you are wanting is a larger variety of emoticons (smileys). Not sure about uploading those since we are limited on file size and maximum space allowed. For example, I just uploaded the emoticon below and it was a 210.50 kb file which almost maxed out my quota of 500K. Also, the max file size for upload is 327.25K. Also, the emoticon doesn't "emot" unless you click on it and open the file. I think for us to use additional ones, Adam would have to add them to the ones shown on the right when you are typing your message.
  5. The best source of information on cashing in your dinar can be found in Adam's FREE Cash In Guide Did I mention it is free!

  17. If an Iraqi citizen has 10,000 dinar, and the dinar revalues at a 1:1 which is logical and reasonable, WHY would the Iraqi citizen want to "cash-in" his dinar for USD? Makes no sense, his dinar is now the same value as the USD - the CBI has stated they want to de-dollarize the country. Why don't they encourage their citizens to use their dinar instead of USD in the marketplace. Their 10,000 dinar will purchase the same amount of product as 10,000 USD. I would be more inclined to think the CBI will encourage citizens to turn in their USD for dinar in order to de-dollarize the country. Just my
  18. It is quite obvious from your avatar that you are an aethist which is the real reason you have no problem with Maher's filthy "jokes". So I assume that were Sarah Palin your Mother, Grandmother, wife or sister, it would be just fine to slander her in that way, all in the context of being "funny". So, you choose to ignore my post above which clearly points out that Paine, Franklin, Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison were very religious men not to mention all of the others that signed the Constitution.
  19. You can find false rhetoric on the internet about anything. If you really want to know what the Founding Fathers religious beliefs were, you need to read actual documents written by them and study their speeches. http://www.wallbuilders.com/libissuesarticles.asp?id=113 “The Founding Fathers & Deism” I notice that your newspaper has an ongoing debate concerning the religious nature of the Founding Fathers. A recent letter claimed that most of the Founding Fathers were deists, and pointed to Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, Hamilton, and Madison as proof. After making this charge, the writer acknowledged the “voluminous writings”" of the Founders, but it appears that she has not read those writings herself. However, this is no surprise since the U. S. Department of Education claims that only 5 percent of high schools graduates know how to examine primary source documentation. Interestingly, the claims in this recent letter to the editor are characteristic of similar claims appearing in hundreds of letters to the editor across the nation. The standard assertion is that the Founders were deists. Deists? What is a deist? In dictionaries like Websters, Funk & Wagnalls, Century, and others, the terms “deist,” “agnostic,” and “atheist” appear as synonyms. Therefore, the range of a deist spans from those who believe there is no God, to those who believe in a distant, impersonal creator of the universe, to those who believe there is no way to know if God exists. Do the Founders fit any of these definitions? None of the notable Founders fit this description. Thomas Paine, in his discourse on “The Study of God,” forcefully asserts that it is “the error of schools” to teach sciences without “reference to the Being who is author of them: for all the principles of science are of Divine origin.” He laments that “the evil that has resulted from the error of the schools in teaching [science without God] has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism.” Paine not only believed in God, he believed in a reality beyond the visible world. In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach “the necessity of a public religion . . . and the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern.” Consider also the fact that Franklin proposed a Biblical inscription for the Seal of the United States; that he chose a New Testament verse for the motto of the Philadelphia Hospital; that he was one of the chief voices behind the establishment of a paid chaplain in Congress; and that when in 1787 when Franklin helped found the college which bore his name, it was dedicated as “a nursery of religion and learning” built “on Christ, the Corner-Stone.” Franklin certainly doesn't fit the definition of a deist. Nor does George Washington. He was an open promoter of Christianity. For example, in his speech on May 12, 1779, he claimed that what children needed to learn “above all” was the “religion of Jesus Christ,” and that to learn this would make them “greater and happier than they already are”; on May 2, 1778, he charged his soldiers at Valley Forge that “To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian”; and when he resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the military on June 8, 1783, he reminded the nation that “without a humble imitation” of “the Divine Author of our blessed religion” we “can never hope to be a happy nation.” Washington's own adopted daughter declared of Washington that you might as well question his patriotism as to question his Christianity. Alexander Hamilton was certainly no deist. For example, Hamilton began work with the Rev. James Bayard to form the Christian Constitutional Society to help spread over the world the two things which Hamilton said made America great: (1) Christianity, and (2) a Constitution formed under Christianity. Only Hamilton's death two months later thwarted his plan of starting a missionary society to promote Christian government. And at the time he did face his death in his duel with Aaron Burr, Hamilton met and prayed with the Rev. Mason and Bishop Moore, wherein he reaffirmed to him his readiness to face God should he die, having declared to them “a lively faith in God's mercy through Christ, with a thankful remembrance of the death of Christ.” At that time, he also partook of Holy Communion with Bishop Moore. The reader, as do many others, claimed that Jefferson omitted all miraculous events of Jesus from his “Bible.” Rarely do those who make this claim let Jefferson speak for himself. Jefferson's own words explain that his intent for that book was not for it to be a “Bible,” but rather for it to be a primer for the Indians on the teachings of Christ (which is why Jefferson titled that work, “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth”). What Jefferson did was to take the “red letter” portions of the New Testament and publish these teachings in order to introduce the Indians to Christian morality. And as President of the United States, Jefferson signed a treaty with the Kaskaskia tribe wherein he provided—at the government's expense—Christian missionaries to the Indians. In fact, Jefferson himself declared, “I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus.” While many might question this claim, the fact remains that Jefferson called himself a Christian, not a deist. James Madison trained for ministry with the Rev. Dr. John Witherspoon, and Madison's writings are replete with declarations of his faith in God and in Christ. In fact, for proof of this, one only need read his letter to Attorney General Bradford wherein Madison laments that public officials are not bold enough about their Christian faith in public and that public officials should be “fervent advocates in the cause of Christ.” And while Madison did allude to a “wall of separation,” contemporary writers frequently refuse to allow Madison to provide his own definition of that “wall.” According to Madison, the purpose of that “wall” was only to prevent Congress from passing a national law to establish a national religion. None of the Founders mentioned fit the definition of a deist. And as is typical with those who make this claim, they name only a handful of Founders and then generalize the rest. This in itself is a mistake, for there are over two hundred Founders (fifty-five at the Constitutional Convention, ninety who framed the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights, and fifty-six who signed the Declaration) and any generalization of the Founders as deists is completely inaccurate. The reason that such critics never mention any other Founders is evident. For example, consider what must be explained away if the following signers of the Constitution were to be mentioned: Charles Pinckney and John Langdon—founders of the American Bible Society; James McHenry—founder of the Baltimore Bible Society; Rufus King—helped found a Bible society for Anglicans; Abraham Baldwin—a chaplain in the Revolution and considered the youngest theologian in America; Roger Sherman, William Samuel Johnson, John Dickinson, and Jacob Broom—also theological writers; James Wilson and William Patterson—placed on the Supreme Court by President George Washington, they had prayer over juries in the U. S. Supreme Court room; and the list could go on. And this does not even include the huge number of thoroughly evangelical Christians who signed the Declaration or who helped frame the Bill of Rights. Any portrayal of any handful of Founders as deists is inaccurate. (If this group had really wanted some irreligious Founders, they should have chosen Henry Dearborne, Charles Lee, or Ethan Allen). Perhaps critics should spend more time reading the writings of the Founders to discover their religious beliefs for themselves rather than making such sweeping accusations which are so easily disproven. ************************************************************** See how easy it was for me to find documentation that says they were religious.
  20. Just to clear up one point. Any woman in the USA that needs contraceptives for any reason is already covered by TitleX. In case you think there may not be a clinic near Georgetown University, there are 15 within 5 miles of the campus. Any female that needs "women's health care" and does not have funds or insurance qualifies. HHS History of Title X The Title X Family Planning program ["Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs" (Public Law 91-572)], was enacted in 1970 as Title X of the Public Health Service Act. Title X is the only Federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. The Title X program is designed to provide access to contraceptive services, supplies and information to all who want and need them. By law, priority is given to persons from low-income families. The Title X Family Planning program is administered within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) by the Office of Family Planning (OFP). At least 90 percent of appropriated funding is used for clinical family planning services as described in the statute and regulations (45 CFR Part 59). Nearly 100 Title X grantees provide family planning services to more than five million women and men through a network of over 4,500 community-based clinics that include State and local health departments, tribal organizations, hospitals, university health centers, independent clinics, community health centers, faith-based organizations, and other public and private nonprofit agencies. In approximately 75% of U.S. counties, there is at least one clinic that receives Title X funds and provides services as required under the Title X statute. Activities Over the past 40 years, Title X Family Planning clinics have played a critical role in ensuring access to a broad range of family planning and related preventive health services for millions of low-income or uninsured individuals. In addition to contraceptive services and related counseling, Title X-supported clinics provide a number of related preventive health services such as: patient education and counseling; breast and pelvic examinations; breast and cervical cancer screening according to nationally recognized standards of care; sexually transmitted disease (STD) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention education, counseling, testing and referral; and pregnancy diagnosis and counseling. By law, Title X funds may not be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning. The Title X program also supports three key functions, authorized under the Title X statute aimed at improving the quality of family planning services and assisting clinics with responding to client needs. These functions include: (1) training for family planning clinic personnel through ten regional general training programs and three national training programs that focus on clinical training, enhancing quality family planning services for males, and/or coordination of training activities on the national level; (2) data collection and family planning research aimed at improving the delivery of family planning services; and, (3) information dissemination and community based education and outreach activities. These functions help to ensure that family planning services are evidence-based and of high quality. The Title X family planning program is intended to assist individuals in determining the number and spacing of their children. This promotes positive birth outcomes and healthy families. The education, counseling, and medical services available in Title X-funded clinic settings assist in achieving these goals. ********************************************************** The whole point of this fiasco is President Obama's total disregard of the constitution's First Amendment granting religious freedom. The constitution forbids him or any president or congress from making laws that infringe on religion. You can argue all you want, but Ms Fluck's testimony was rejected by the Oversight Committee because it did not relate to the issue of the hearing. Soooo, in saunters Ms. Pelosi and holds another hearing so Ms Fluck can get her one-sided message out. She entered Georgetown for the express purpose of challenging their religious beliefs - she stated this in her interviews. It was a put-up deal to detract from the real trampling of the constitution. Now, if you believe the Constitution is just an old piece of brown paper, you are probably not concerned, but my ancestors fought and died for what is written on it and if we allow it to be trampled into the dirt, our country will become no better than Greece or any of the other socialist european countries. As for Rush's statements - they were out of line and he has apologized. There has certainly been no apology from the liberal radio hosts that have made slanderous remards about conservative wormen. BTW, Rush's popularity has not diminished because of this.
  21. A banned member that enjoyed "toying" with the emotions and feelings of our members by posting controversial subjects just to stir and agitate. She is still showing in the members section although I believe she removed most of her information.
  22. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/limbaugh-drops-company-that-suspended-ads-from-show-over-fluke-remarks/ Rush Limbaugh has rejected an advertiser’s apparent attempt to reunite with his show after the company initially dropped its ads from the program following his remarks about contraception advocate Sandra Fluke. The company, Sleep Train, calls itself “the No. 1 Bedding Specialist on the West Coast, and most recognized mattress retailer in the region.” In an email to Sleep Train President Dale Carlsen (obtained by The Blaze), a representative of the show says that Limbaugh personally considered the company’s request, but denied it considering its public comments following the controversy. “Thank you for your requests last week and this week to restart your voiced endorsement in local markets of The Rush Limbaugh Show,” the email begins. “Rush received your requests personally.” “Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh’s character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the future. “Rush appreciates your long friendship and your past support, and we wish you good luck in the future.” Last Friday, Sleep Train was vocal in its rejection of Limbaugh. “As a diverse company, Sleep Train does not condone such negative comments directed toward any person,” the company said in a statement. “We have currently pulled our ads with Rush Limbaugh.” According to the Washington Post, which tells the story of how the advertiser and Limbaugh started their relationship, Sleep Train had been an advertiser with Limbaugh for over 25 years. Last week, the Post noted how the company had only suspended its ads, not fully dropped the conservative commentator as a retail spokesperson. And while that may have left the door open for a reunion, that has now been rejected by Limbaugh. “It’s a business decision, and it’s theirs alone to make,” Limbaugh said Monday morning regarding companies who had pulled ads. “They‘ve decided that they don’t want you anymore or your business.” On Wednesday, he also noted the media was misleading the public about the number of advertisers who had dropped the show. “We’ll replace them,” he assured his audience. The Blaze contacted Sleep Train for comment but did not hear back in time for publication. ***************************************************** Bet their stockholders are just thrilled with their actions. What's that old saying, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" A warning not to act out of pique or pursue revenge in such a way as to damage yourself more than the object of your anger.

  24. I agree - the only way a company can pay taxes on illegals is if they are using stolen SS cards. That should be a simple thing for the government to stop. There should be an automatic trigger that goes off when the government receives taxes that are credited to a SS # of a deceased person or a fraudulent SS#.
