Clint Eastwood's heart may have been in the right place, when he accepted the invitation to speak at the Republican National Convention, Thursday (Aug. 30), but his mind was clearly somewhere else. Possibly at home with his daughters telling a story about "the good old days," because from the sounds of it, that's exactly what he thought he was doing.
Rather than firing up the crowd for Mitt Romney's acceptance speech, Eastwood confused and amused all while his chair (holding an invisible President Obama) taunted him in the distance.
The 82-year-old stopped in the middle of his speech several times, and turned to hold an intimate conversation with the chair, eliciting more nervous laughter from the audience. At one point, he slammed Obama for being a lawyer, apparently forgetting that Romney also went to Harvard Law School.
"I never thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be presidents anyway. I think it's maybe time for, maybe a uh, business man, how about that? A stellar business man. Quote on quote 'a stellar businessman,'" Eastwood rambled.
Although he was met with cheers (again, from utter confusion), veteran news anchor Brian Williams was powerless against the looming awkwardness and broke into a short but heartfelt chuckle just before offering commentary on the speech. "I'm reminded that he starred in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and I think people will find parts of all three to talk about," Williams said.
After that speech one thing is clear: Mr. Eastwood has no idea where he is, or what's going on in America.
Of course I do. True PTSD on a debilitating level is rare,but I have seen it. In every instance it was an individual who had been in a command decision who had lost a lot of the people in his command and even some of his personal friends due to the orders he had given. Not that they were bad orders or even unnecessary orders,but they none the less resulted in the loss of life of people they were responsible for and cared for. It's pretty damn rare for individuals to suffer from PTSD for killing an enemy that was trying to kill him and his friends,though.
I'm just not buying into the dumb-ass description given.

37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" 39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40 "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them." 41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.(John chapter 12)

I see you are hiding from The Light. When you are serious about getting better and want healing you can ping me and I would be more than happy to help show you the Way. If you seek the Lord, you will find Him; if you call upon His Name, He will answer. If you surrender to Him you will never be disappointed again.

You sound like one of those God impersonators that the Bible warns about. Isn't that a sin?

One would think that if God really wanted to win the war he would stop inflicting disease on his most ardent soldiers.

Presenting what the Bible says unfiltered? How is that impersonating. It is the Blood of Jesus Christ that saves.

A hollow argument. Metal is forged. Trees are pruned to produce more fruit. Pick up the Josh Hamilton book and have a look at a down and out crackhead and what he has become since surrendering to Christ.

"Even the venal plutocrats of the Gilded Age realized that they ultimately owed their fortunes to the labor of the coal miner, the seamstress, the ironworker and the farmer, and that it was only through their good graces and the limited application of violence that they were allowed to keep their gains.
Today’s plutocrats think their fortunes spring ex nihilo from their own greatness as they ship jobs to slave wage countries and gamble in the stock market.
The fact that so fewer of us have outlets to sell our labor power is a matter of concern. But it has nothing to do with laziness; the capitalistic system is breaking down. And the ruling class berates the unemployed masses for their own indolence.

The scriptures often contradict each other. Evidently God didn't do such a good job of infusing KJs scribes with His Holy Spirit. But when God admitted he made a mistake with the flooding of the earth it became known that God was not infallible.
But because of KJ we now associate Christ and God with being "kings". And once KJ had that idea infused among his subjects he knew his own job was safe. And "the devine right of kings" became the law of the land.

Funny how so often preachers and priests went from leading the labor strikes in the past to being spokes persons for the bosses in the present.

The little Obama toad says there are contradictions in Gods word. Name them toad. From your mind not some cut and paste.

Stop looking in the mirror. The Bible is rife with inconsistencies. And God makes mistakes, He even admitted it.
Stop sharing your borderline behaviors with Boris. What's with conservatives and their obsessive need to express frustration via sexual remarks about gentalia. That's why your so called movement is going down the tubes, as even God should be tired of it by now.

You and Ferret Mike would make a good couple. He is the witch and you can be his little toad that follows him around. You are attracted to the Ferret aren't you?
Could you attempt to name some contradictions please?
Admitting you have never read the Bible is not a good thing Stone. Borderline, means borderline psychotic. Which fits you to a Tee. Keep lying and making stuff up and then please call yourself a conservative.

Mad Dog calls him Pebbles. I think that's appropriate and funny.
I'm about ready to call him Vinny, as it usually gets a reference.
