|
I figure that when there is bad stuff there is good and I figured I start a thread about the happy stuff in politics and religion.
I went to this mini mart a while back and the cashier was your racially stereotypical middle eastern guy but had a REALLY THICK IRISH ACCENT! It was crazy but it gave me a huge smile because I think we are starting to see what our grandparents were fighting for.
Also I love it when I feel like no one else has a love for the Lord above that I have and then I run into this stranger and we have a conversation about spirituality while we are in line at the store or if we are in gas station stalls next to each other.
Honestly talk about any positive experience, I'm all eyes. Get it? Because of the- never mind. I'm not one to judge even if your views are different from mine  |

I think that thread title is often an oxymoron |

Politically, the only one that really jumps out at me is pretty old, and that's when a Republican controlled congress (House led by Gingrich) gave a sitting Democratic President (Clinton) the line item veto, knowing full well he would use it to line out budget items they wanted, which he did 84 times.
It was the last great bipartisan gesture I can recall.
Sadly, the SCOTUS determined that the line item veto itself was unconstitutional as it shifted power too far to the Executive branch. But it was good while it lasted!
Religiously, I see awesome things all the time. I'm not even religious myself, but I see the good things the churches in most areas are doing. For every Wayland Baptist getting negative press coverage and painting all religion in a bad light, there are a dozen other churches having positive impacts in their communities and in the lives of their members. |
