While it is true that we are responsible for a wee fire at the White House in 1814, I don't know if we would be able to stop the Russians.

We seem to have our hands full with those upstart Danes who want our beloved Hans Island all to themselves.

I suspect we would politely ask the Russians to wait patiently in Alaska until we finally put paid to the Scandinavian churls who keep littering our island with their very bland red and white flag (compared to our majestic red and white flag) and their weak alcohol (compared to our noble brew).

And if the Ruskies declined not to wait, well, they better stay off the ice or we shall thrash them soundly.

I completely forgot the Hans Island dispute. Yes. We must humble the Danes first, of course.
 
Force them, politely of course, to Roll up the Rim?
Ach, all we'd have to really do is to show them our super disgusting ethnic Canadian dish, poutine, and they'd stay away from us forever
(or they might bomb us to get rid of our unholy gustatory blasphemy...)
Screech from NF&L, hard call
 
Or bam be there d' Eire thing on de ice? Some say Bambi! With a screech they're gone like seal hunters but down by peaceful people wishing to open up what sealed ... that'd be a closed mine ...

Provided they check their f-ing second amendment and the guns that go with it at the border along with their unchecked libertarianism. We do have laws up here and we do recognize that sometimes one right has to trump another.

On January 3 Trump responded with: “Hillary said that guns don’t keep you safe. If she really believes that she should demand that her heavily armed bodyguards quickly disarm!”
 
Now, some of Trump’s harshest critics find themselves in the awkward position of agreeing with him — it is, indeed, far past time the American public and the world are given the truth about 9/11 — through the contents of those 28 pages.

(ANTIMEDIA) After Pope Francis hinted that Donald Trump “is not Christian” for his proposal for a wall around the United States to keep out, well, brown people, the billionaire and his supporters responded in kind. Pope Francis, Trump claimed, should take his own advice — “Tear Down the Vatican Wall!”

To be more accurate - because what you posted above is slightly out of context - what the Pope actually said was that if a person speaks only about building walls and not also about building bridges, then they're not a Christian. The word "only" puts a slightly different spin on what was said. Walls aren't in and of themselves bad or unchristian. Even Jesus "built walls" in a sense (when he would withdraw to private places, for example.) But Jesus also built bridges - he was accessible and welcoming to people. It's walls without bridges that the Pope said was unchristian, not walls and bridges.

Being an introvert, he needed to recharge. Withdrawing at times gave him the energy he needed on a human level to continue to build bridges and knock down walls.

Sort of like black and white without grey arias ... nothing will register!
 
While the Pope's comments were qualified by "only," his perceived intent was to pander to Mexican bias 9with plausible deniability) and it seems the American consensus is sympathetic to Trump, even among those who object to his acerbic style and policies. Politically, this scandal will generally help Trump and sully Pope Francis's otherwise pristine reputation.

As for Trump's claim to be a Christian, I'm now convinced from various interviews that he actually believes this, but I'm reminded of evangelist Billy Sunday's memorable quote, "Being is a church don't make you a Christian any more than being in a garage makes you a car."

Going to Taco Bell doesn't make you a taco. :D
 
Even Trump's political rivals, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, have come out in defense of Trump against the Pope's perceived political intrusion.

Brute 4's is always best in some worlds except for intuition about brute responses to accrued thinking without refinement! Thus the mined is subtle ...

Would that be pede-ish, pedantry or pedologist ... and how to foot the wiles? A bit of bull paddy! Works for padding R's wholly psychopaths (minds painfully devoid)! Thoughtless citizens or the walking dead?

Well if members of ISIS can be Muslims then it stands to reason that Trump can be a Christian.:eek: Put that in your pipe and smoke it Pope Francis.
 
Is muslin'n a thin fabric that can be rendered as a thin veil when whetted to the fact of what is covered up?

Some say that what is covered in nothing ... and some love nothing as a place to put coveted thoughts ... that's Hur! The English spun this into Shire's pace ... complex and imaginative ...
 
Trump claims to be a Presbyterian or, when pushed on faith claims he defaults to the fact that his mother was a Presbyterian.

Roman Catholicism has never been very good at embracing Protestants as being properly Christian so even if the Pope were to say that Trump is not a Christian it wouldn't be very different from what the Vatican states about Presbyterians/Baptists and other Protestants in general.

It is something like saying one disagrees with the smell of skunk.

In this case, Trump happens to be a particularly pungent skunk and the Pope is simply stating that he finds his odour offensive.

One doesn't need to be the Pope to make that kind of statement.

My paternal family was Presbyterian right up until I jumped ship to the United Church.

I don't claim that Trump is not a Christian. I have no hesitancy claiming that he is a very sorry excuse for a Christian but then, as a Calvinist, I wouldn't have to look long or hard to find equally sorry excuses for Christians.

By all means, let Trump get upset. Let him show us the quality of his Christian faith in response.
 
Big CNN online headline today: "Trump asks if Obama would have attended Scalia's funeral if it were held in a mosque." Yikes!
