She Hears Dead People

RE: “and if need be tell her that she should align herself with an organization that is comfortable with paganism. Wicca, say, or the Episcopal Church.”

That’s just Mean, David Fischler!!!

We already have enough of our share of loony-tunes, Code Pink leftist women purporting to lead us!

You take it back!!!

All right, not the Episcopal Church. The Unitarians, then (but I repeat myself).

I’m sure Margaret Sanger was in there somewhere—perhaps she was squashed under Rep. Pelosi

That could happen.  I think it’s the same basic principle as when a dozen or more clowns climb out of a VW Beetle at the circus. 

Something to do with physics, which I don’t really understand, but I’ve seen them do it.  Being invisible should make that sort of thing even easier, don’t you think? 

Question for the next Disputation: How many dead feminists can fit under Nancy Pelosi’s rear end?

Well, Rep. Pelosi did say there were others.
I don’t know.  I guess it is my own fault for not knowing my history very well, but I always had this impression that these women were Christians.  (NOT Margaret Sanger, of course.)  I find in my searches now that is generally not the case.  Some were raised as Quakers, but did not even end up with those views by the end of their lives.  Margaret Sanger was raised as a Roman Catholic, so I guess she would be in good company with Ms. Pelosi who was raised as a Roman Catholic, but who has likewise altered her faith to suit herself.

She is just trying to solidify her base.

Actually, I believe that she did hear voices, and that the voices were not hers.  I just don’t believe that the identities of the speakers match those which the speakers purport them to be.

So if we hear God speak to us, we’re crazy, but the ghosts of dead feminists and one is taken seriously????

It’s just such a shame that her family doesn’t have the decency to keep her on her meds!

Funny how Ms. Pelosi invokes the memory of Susan B. Anthony, seeing that Ms. Anthony was against abortion and all…

I wonder if it is their sage advice that allowed her to become worth $30,000,000 while “serving” the good people of the US? 

You don’t know if San Fran Nan is delusional?  C’mon, David, the most casual glance confirms that she ain’t got both oars in the water.

[1] B. Hunter,

The $30,000,000 is not the result of the sage advice of dead women, but rather the generous advice and information available from the lobbyists for firms that are coming to market for IPOs and wish the favor of select Congresspersons (if the use of “person” is actually applicable in these cases), which lobbyists have means for seeing to it that said Representative/Senator can get a tidy quantity of them at the pre-IPO price. You know, bypassing the insider trading laws. Most of the federal politicos find such magical sources of wealth once they have established themselves as allies for anyone with the appropriate rental fee and willingness to subject themselves to aiding and abetting charges, if caught.

Notice we’ve NOT seen ANY of her tax returns.  Hmmmmm?

It was probably gas and had nothing to do with dead people.

Jeffersonian: please notice I suggested several alternatives. I’m agnostic as to which one is the correct explanation….

So you did.  Well, I like your suggestion that her bishop - or preferably her new archbishop - have a little sit-down with her and set her straight.

Nancy Pelosi is an ignorant fool.

Both Susan Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were opposed to abortion because it is an outgrowth of the oppression of women.

If Pelosi thinks she’s hearing dead people, she may be delusional, or she may be experiencing some sort of demonic influence, which wouldn’t be too surprising, given her stance on abortion, etc.

HOWEVER, the same could be said of people who claim to follow Christ but who call names and make snarky, uncharitable comments (“ignorant fool”, “ain’t got both oars in the water”, “loony-tunes”, etc) about people with whom they do not agree..

Mat 5:22     “But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. ”

Mrs. Pelosi has made a number of patently irrational comments on the public record. I do not believe for a moment that explicitly identifying those irrationalities as such violates Christ’s injunction to us stated in Matthew 5:22. That is not calling someone a fool, nor being angry, it is simly stating a verifiable fact. Name calling is a distinctly different matter.

Pax et bonum,
Keith Töpfer

Agreed, Keith, but identifying irrationality is not the same as name-calling, and I see quite a lot of the latter on this and on many other forums who presume to identify themselves as Christian.

“San Fran” Nan, along with “Dirty Harry” Reid has given us six years of debt laden budgets that now have us at $16 TRILLION dollars in debt - so much that our Great Grandchildren will still be paying it off.  So much debt that just the interest on it totals 11% of the federal budget.  Democrats are simply not good stewarts of the vineyard.

More insults and railing, painted in bold letters with a broad brush. What a wonderful example of the fruits of the Spirit!
No wonder my Mennonite friends ask their members to be apolitical - I used to think that they were being fanatical about that, but I think that they’re right - politics corrupts one’s religion.

Cynthia, even Christ told the adultress, “go, and sin no more.”  There are judgments to make and, clearly, Pelosi has a different understanding of God and His laws than most Anglo-Catholics.
PS Nicknames are not the same as “name calling.”  They are “identifiers” and not “adjectives.”

“[P]olitics corrupts one’s religion”.

To what exactly are you referring?

There are judgments to make, TPaine, but for the Christian, pejoratives (and “nicknames” like “Dirty Harry” are pejorative in intent - come on now, you know that!) are not a necessary part of that picture.
Certainly Pelosi has a “different understanding of God” than do most Anglo Catholics - I would hazard a guess that she’s probably not headed heaven-ward any time soon, at least not until after a very long stint in purgatory- but according to the Bible, “Christians” who rail and snark and sling insults and pejoratives around the ‘Net like so much confetti are likely in the very same boat, or perhaps, handbasket.

Cynthia, the phrase “Dirty Harry,” while being an obvious play on the movie, refers back to Harry Reid’s determination to ban ALL fossil fuels because “they’re dirty.”  Keep in mind, this is the entire summation of his techinical knowledge of fossil fuels and our current Energy Policy.
I did not bless Harry Reid with this nickname, he earned it all by himself.
Fortunately, for me, I know God has a sense of humor and I’d hope you’d find some as well.
God’s Peace.

There’s Humor and then there’s Humor, TPaine:

“The real use of Jokes or Humour is in quite a different direction, and it is specially promising among the English who take their “sense of humour” so seriously that a deficiency in this sense is almost the only deficiency at which they feel shame. Humour is for them the all-consoling and (mark this) the all-excusing, grace of life. Hence it is invaluable as a means of destroying shame. If a man simply lets others pay for him, he is “mean”; if he boasts of it in a jocular manner and twits his fellows with having been scored off, he is no longer “mean” but a comical fellow. Mere cowardice is shameful; cowardice boasted of with humorous exaggerations and grotesque gestures can passed off as funny. Cruelty is shameful-unless the cruel man can represent it as a practical joke. A thousand bawdy, or even blasphemous, jokes do not help towards a man’s damnation so much as his discovery that almost anything he wants to do can be done, not only without the disapproval but with the admiration of his fellows, if only it can get itself treated as a Joke. And this temptation can be almost entirely hidden from your patient by that English seriousness about Humour. Any suggestion that there might be too much of it can be represented to him as “Puritanical” or as betraying a “lack of humour”.
