McCain drank the Kool-aid
April 6th, 2006 at 10:51 amMcCain’s laser beam focus on the White House apparently enables him to forget the painful memories of character assassination, smears and lies the Terry Nelson and the Bush camp dished out during the 2000 campaign.
After McCain’s upset win in the New Hampshire primary, Bush operatives during the critical South Carolina contest phoned voters with push polls implying McCain was anti-Catholic, his wife Cindy a drug addict, and that he had fathered an illegitimate black child with a prostitute. (In reality and quite admirably, they’d adopted a baby from an orphanage in Bangladesh) McCain even received an early version of the Swift Boat treatment, with allegations that his Vietnam War captivity in Hanoi left him mentally unstable. All of these slurs came as candidate Bush chastised McCain that he couldn’t “take the high horse and then claim the low road.” It’s no wonder he angrily rejected Bush’s feigned attempt in 2000 to bury the hatchet, with McCain telling candidate Bush, “Don’t give me that s**t. And get your hands off me.”

for some reason, Cyndi Laupher is running through my head….

April 6th, 2006 at 10:58 amI am so disappointed in him. I had thought he was mainstream. I am so tired of being disappointed in republicans. Why can’t they be on the side of Americans?
April 6th, 2006 at 11:07 amWho saw Jon Stewart with him on Tuesday? I want to like McCain, but I no longer respect him. he sold his soul for sure. As such, it’s our job to make sure that albatros, hung round his neck, stays there and is pointed out repeatedly.
I don’t mind him as a Senator, I couldn’t deal with him as President any more.
April 6th, 2006 at 11:32 am#5 – I saw that, kindness. I thought Jon’s disappointment in McCain, who I think Jon truly admired, was palpable. Jon kept it light, because that’s his job, but I sensed that he really wanted to know what the f*ck was going on with McCain.
At this point I believe John McCain will get what he deserves, and Terry Nelson is an excellent start.

April 6th, 2006 at 9:21 pmYou might be a Neo-Con Hyper-Preterist;
1. When you hurt your back playing golf and your buddies look at you and say, “you got a bum glorified body, didn’t you?,” you might be a hyper-preterist.
2. If after lusting after a Playboy Playmate you go and teach that we were definitively sanctified in 70 AD, you might be a hyper-preterist.
3. If you say you take the time texts seriously but you don’t hold that 1 John was written at 11:00 p.m. on 69 AD since it says, “we know it is the last hour” (1 John 2:18), you might be a hyper-preterist.
4. If you say that people weren’t regenerate until 70 AD but it was already not yet, and then you read passages which speak of the saints loving God and his law (which the unregenerate cannot do), you might be a hyper-preterist.
5. If you think 70 AD was the most important event in history, rather than the cross, you might be a hyper-preterist.
6. If you have Gnostic tendencies, you might be a hyper-preterist.
7. If you’ve never read Calvin, Hodge, Warfield, Edwards, Turretin, Witsius, Owen, Murray, Van Til, Vos, et al, you might be a hyper-preterist.
8. If you’ve read them, and the every other Christian position on the resurrection and the second advent, and you say they’re all wrong and you’re all correct, you might be a hyper-preterist.

13. If you get kicked out of every church you go to, you might be a hyper-preterist.
14. If your creed is that you have no creed, you might be a hyper-preterist.
15. If you say that “the end of ALL things is at hand” (1 Peter 4:7) means ALL things, but the fulfillment of EVERY vision without delay (Ez. 12:21-28) does not mean EVERY vision, you might be a hyper-preterist.
16. If your teaching is gangrenous, you might be a hyper-preterist.
17. If you still take the lord’s supper even though one reason it was to be taken was in order to “proclaim His death until He comes,” you might be a hyper-preterist.
18. If you constantly bombard people with e-mails, you might be a hyper-preterist.
19. If your previous theological bents have been other heretical positions (i.e., the Church of Christ’s), you might be a hyper-preterist.
20. If you make yourself feel better by saying, at one time people thought the reformers were heretics, you might be a hyper-preterist.
21. If your two favorite sayings are: (1)Reformed and always reforming and (2) sola scriptura, even though you misrepresent what those mean, you might be a hyper-preterist.
22. If you live in Florida, you might be a hyper-preterist.
23. If you’re a fan of “New Covenant Theology,” you might be a hyper-preterist.
24. If you think Jesus will kick it with Enoch and Elijah for eternity while the rest of us will float around as disembodied spirits after we phsyically die, you might be a hyper-preterist.
25. If you think that we’ll still sin after we die since definitive sanctification has already occurred, you might be a hyper-preterist.

28. If you only focus on eschatology, you might be a hyper-preterist.
29. If you can’t get off the milk and chew some meat, you might be a hyper-preterist.
30. If you deny Christ’s full work of redemption (e.g., the phsyical He made good also needs redemption), you might be a hyper-preterist.
31. If you think that Don Preston “is the man” because he rambles off basic two-premiss syllogisms, you might be a hyper-preterist.
32. If this is the new heavens and earth and you have your glorified body, and upon realizing this if you’re not depressed and feeling cheated, you might be a hyper-preterist.
33. If you’ve had to define what a Christian is and this definition lets just about any wacko into the camp, you might be a hyper-preterist.
