Ryan Stroud   
It started out as a cold, rainy day in Iraq. I exited my containerized housing unit, or CHU, heading out to work with my other public affairs brothers and sisters.

Tex Norman (4,228) 
Tex Norman
Money is a medium of exchange. It came into existence because we needed some way to exchange something with generally accepted value for stuff that is of value to the buyer. Obviously, the first way to get what you need is to find it, or make it, or grow it yourself. The first people who had... ( added 259 days 12 hours ago.) |

Well for all you people across the United States that are keeping a scorecard of what goofiness happens next in Illinois, I wish I could give you a heads up but I can't.

In a few days Christians all over America will do their civic duty and vote. Hopefully, they have all prayed about their decisions before they enter the booth. Almost certainly, most will believe that they are voting the way that Jesus would vote..

Jon Searles
Never vote for a religious candidate when a moral candidate is available.

Lie, Cheat and Steal -
