Keep in mind that Christians have put themselves in the position to be attacked and tempted by the principalities more than their secular counterparts. Why attack a person who's already on the team?", "Agree entirely. I love Canada, and am very aware how lucky I am to have been born in Canada. Having lived in a number of non-democratic countries, I feel the need to support and give back to the country which has provided me with such a good life and so many opportunities. That said, I hate the mindless patriotism and hollow symbolism we seem to have inherited from our southern neighbours. While I support the portion of the money going into necessary infrastructure, I'd rather put the money going into parties, trinkets, symbolism, flags made in China and unseemly boasting into improving healthcare or enabling more kids to participate in organized sports.

No oil tax credits, no LIO, no mega projects. Keep yours sticky fingers out of fund.

They can do what they want with it, too. But, to me, I listen to what the person says and not some generalized opinion from someone else.\n\nKaepernick? The guy's a fool, in my opinion. He can kneel all he wants, but I won't respect his cause because I've seen nothing more than a personal beef and no sacrifice of his own life towards that cause. I think I've read that he's starting to do positive things, but I'm unsure of that. If I see it, my opinion will likely change. A guy like Brandon Marshall is different, to me.\n\nI, like some (many? most?), hitch my wagon based on hearing what the person standing up (or kneeling down) has to say, not some impression I make up about them. \n\nAppearance matters only to the audience demographic.

He won't ante up the 100 grand to be an official candidate, he's never held office even as a dogcatcher and he doesn't speak French. He is a loser, and liar, con artist. and like Trump was broke and a failure, television gave him salary when he needed it most. The one truly intelligent conversation he could have had on the matter of politics and economics was with the brilliant highly respected journalist Chris Hedges...instead, because O'Leary's ignorance about anything that doesn't come out of his own mouth, O'Leary went after Hedges like a juvenile in a school yard and in turn Chris Hedges stomped O'Leary's proverbial ass kick down the halls of CBC and out into the parking lot.

We caught a few glimpses of it from Osweiler in his first starts as a Bronco.Can't say that Lynch has shown any signs yet, but to be fair he has pretty high expectations. Sometimes players lose that mental edge and hard to get it back in focus. In my eyes Lynch lost confidence when it wasn't happening and coming together for him.

You say that abortions are lower where women have cheap birth control. This is what is called a LIE.
