Attending a weekly religious service, regardless of your faith, may lower your risk of death by 20 percent compared to people who don't attend services, researchers are reporting.

"Religion is always a hot topic, but particularly now, when people are perhaps in fear because of the recession and the threat of terrorism, people are looking for stability, and religion is something we find people reach out to for that stability. And, we see some health benefits here," said the study's lead author, Eliezer Schnall, a clinical assistant professor of psychology at Yeshiva College at Yeshiva University in New York City.

"Maybe it's the sense of community, or the support, or maybe people are less depressed when they join in religious services," he said, adding that the researchers tried to control the data to account for many of these factors, but "we have not completely explained it all."

We are predisposed to believe in an almighty God.

"The God gene hypothesis proposes that human beings inherit a set of genes that predisposes them to belief in a higher power. The idea has been postulated by geneticist Dr. Dean Hamer, the director of the Gene Structure and Regulation Unit at the U.S. National Cancer Institute, who has written a book on the subject titled, The God Gene: How Faith is Hardwired into our Genes."

To show us the path of how we should be behave and treat one another he sent his son.

On this thankgiving we should all be thankful for the blessings of liberty that so many have fought and died for, for being born in the greatest country on earth, and for the right to believe as each wishes..under the moral structure that Christianity has brought the western world.

What is freedom without morality, what is liberty without justice.

And speaking of Free Speech - this is what happens to those who bring up issues and do not agree.

Can you imagine a Republican in a government agency doing this sort of investigation on a private citizen? You all would be up in arms! You would be screaming Hitler and Nazi all over the place!

Just another example of the Obamanation of this country.

Free Speech and Liberalism do not mix. Just look at the attacks of people who did not believe in Global Warming...and now look at the evidence...or people who talked about Obama lack of experience ...or the attacks on Palin. All of this is the Nazism of the Left.

Well I hope you like the next 4 years in an Obama tax induced and socialistic Fannie Mae recession.

Too bad nobody will be allowed to talk about it.

Obama spent more than $820 million since announcing his candidacy in Springfield, Ill.

His Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, spent $342 million.

Harvard University's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy says Obama recieved 69% favorable media coverage while John McCain recieved 43%

31% of voters thought that a President Obama would cut their taxes. Only 11% expected a tax cut from a McCain administration.

After the benefit of 25% better media coverage, over 2-1 Spending difference, the state count was 26 for Obama and 21 for McCain with 66M votes for Obama and 58M for McCain.

Looks like almost half the country - no matter how you cut it - is not feeling like we were "liberated".

The only thing you have been "liberated" from is your money. The Bush tax cuts will expire - all of you (that are working for more than $42K per year) will see your taxes increase - some significantly. You may see your 401K in Jeopardy.

After all of that - and your haranging on Iraq (see multiple post above) Obama now stating he will not pull out of Iraq quickly.

Now there are all these "positive" articles on Iraq. But the Surge didn't work?!?

You guys whined about Bush and our Allies...but now Obama is saying he wants to bomb one of them!

Face it. There are two sides to every coin.

You believe in Big Gov. and someone to tell you want to do, punish the people that are successfull - they don't deserve it. Give some of the success to the people who did not work for it. "Free" health care, "Free" drugs. "Free" money back from the government.

You want everything handed to you on a silver platter..and then there is the rest of us who know that anytime the government "gives" you something - it takes something else away...mostly freedom.

So ..you now have Obama ..but no mandate from the population. And the minute he renages on the tax cut promise everyone will be saying "off with his head".

I hope you like what you voted for...and maybe next time you will actually think before you pull the lever.

Ok, here is what the O promised and you voted for:

Obama has already proposed a new stimulus package of $188 billion over two years.

The tax cuts he promises, which are mostly refundable tax credits (code for cash back), will cost $60 billion just in year one, according the National Taxpayers Union, though the Obama campaign's own estimates in July put that figure at $130 billion. Remember - " 95% of all Americans will get a tax cut"

So next year (unless inserted retroactive) (2010 for 2009 first year of the new tax policy )when you fill out that tax - compare it with what you paid the previous year and see if it less than what your are paying currently.

Obama intends to fix health care, the cost is massive - $1.2 trillion over ten years, and you can keep your doctors plus no rationing.

Obama's claim he will lower health care premiums by $2,500

His "army of new teachers": $18 billion;

Renewable energy: $15 billion. .

His new promise to give businesses a $3,000 tax credit for each new job created will cost $40 billion.

Remember he also mentioned rebuilding the military ($7 billion/yr);).

This does not include his 40B for "no child starving in Africa" initiative.

So...let see how many of these he keeps.

My guess - except for the Africa initiative and part of the tax payback...None. He will cut the military by 25%, He will try to socialize medicine but fail. Your taxes will all increase -even if you make LESS than 75K.

But I will be keeping the list up to date and posting it monthly.

Remember - be careful what you ask for ..you just might get it...and you just did.
