		<description>Regardless of who Chris Daggett hurts, Daggett is not a spoiler and he can win.

Daggett has broken 20 percent and can win. The Washington Post says at 20% there is a path for Daggett to win and political analysts say with 25% in the polls Daggett can win.

 Now its a matter of getting that last 100,000 votes to get Daggett in a position to win.

To do that we are reaching out to voters that want to Vote for Daggett but are afraid a vote for Daggett is a wasted vote. So…

&lt;b&gt;The I&#039;ll vote for Daggett Pledge:&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;I want to vote for Chris Daggett, but only if he has a real chance of winning. He needs pledges from 100,000 people like me. I don&#039;t want to wait til Election Day to find out that those votes existed, but we were all afraid to cast them. So, I&#039;m signing my name below, with my address to prove that I&#039;m real, and pledging that if 100,000 people like me sign up, I will vote for Daggett.&quot;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://chris-daggett.alexanderhiggins.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Click Here To Take the I&#039;ll Vote For Daggett Pledge&lt;/a&gt;

Spread the word about this pledge, so we can bring an end to politics as usual.

The broken and corrupt two party system threatens us all, event if we are not from NJ. Take a stand.</description>

		<description>Hey Kevin, 

I was really encouraged by your philosophy of Christian Education. I found it while preparing a talk for the Florida League of Christian Schools which I will present next month. I work at a Christian camp in NC and God has given us a heart of love for Christian schools. We offer retreats specifically focused on Christian schools throughout the year. I just wanted to let you know that there are others like-minded with you in your philosophy. Keep up the good work.

Under His Mercy,

Zach</description>

		<description>Kevin, I really appreciate and agree with your logical and well thought approach. I also appreciate that the President released the transcript of the speech ahead of time. I am hoping to show the video to my class in the next couple of weeks and use it as a writing response assignment. How else can I teach my 5th grade class to respect the office of President and to listen and analyze what even the President says? Like you, I don&#039;t typically show video in my class that I haven&#039;t seen first, even when it&#039;s the President, but I do want my students to understand that we don&#039;t have to agree with everything the President stands for to listen to him and agree with him when we discern that he is saying correct things.</description>

		<description>Yes, the president should have the option of addressing the nation&#039;s school kids to inspire them.

No, the president should not attempt to politicise the event, as we know Obama will.  

The galling thing is the curriculum our unconstitutional federal Department of Education tried to foist on our nation&#039;s schools.

The other galling thing is the hypocrisy of the Democrats who cried foul when George H.  W. Bush did the same thing.  They asserted the wishy-washy, uninspiring Bush the senior was trying to recruit the kids into being little Republicans.  Now that it&#039;s their commie stooge in the White House, the Sociocrats think the address is wonderful.

I&#039;m thinking of keeping my kids home on Tuesday.</description>

		<description>My dear chap, you are fooling around, not me. 

P.178. She explicitly says the ASV (the American Standard Version) omits words it does not. Like one of Riplinger&#039;s obedient cult-like minions, you refuse to admit your oracle can be wrong.

P. 1141. The badge of the Archbishop of Dublin is not an occultic symbol, and has no relationship whatsover with freemasonry. It is the St. Patrick&#039;s cross, which is red on a white background. The St. Andrew&#039;s Cross (which is used widely in Scottish contexts, and in Churches dedicated to St. Andrew) is while on a blue field.

P.191. If the Anabaptists of Munster were not fanatics, why have Baptists historically dissociated themselves from them. Are you really saying that a group who take over a town and proclaim a community of wives are not a cult? Please note that Munster was not typical of the Anabaptists, and in fact the REAL &#039;good Anabaptists&#039; disowned them. There was no one &#039;Anabaptist&#039; movement, the name was applied to many disparate groups who agreed in little more than the rejection of infant baptism.

P. 712 Right, Christians ought not to kill heretics. But what Riplinger wrote is that Calvin promoted burning men at the stake, when he did not. You are trying to change the question. Riplinger refers to the MODE of execution, a mode Calvin opposed.

P. 731. Rather, whose distorted version of history are YOU reading? Some Victorian proponent of Baptist successionism? Try Stephen Runciman&#039;s &#039;Medieval Manichee&#039; You might learn something... or not.

P. 740. I&#039;m not disputing that. What I am saying is that while it can be translated that way, Nicolaitans actually derives from the name Nicholas.

P.840. Vaughan was Master of the Temple AND Dean of Llandaff at the same time. Get your history straight. My meaning is that the &quot;Master of the Temple&quot; is not, in that office (whatever other offices he may hold) either a &#039;dean&#039; (I was surmising the fact that Vaughan was a dean elsewhere at the same time may have led to the confusion) or a Bishop.

Pp. 843-51. Gardner and the others have not a clue as to what the Templars actually believed, and are just making stuff up or following stuff other people made up. Read Helen Nicholson &#039;the Knights Templar&#039; for a genuine history.

P1007. Not even a response. The National Liberal Club was a club for members of the Liberal Party, which was supported by most British Evangelicals of the period. It was political, not theological. But unable to answer, you try to change the question.

And like your great Diana of the King James Only movement, you play childish games with names. It is YOU, my dear sir, who are WRONG!</description>

   He who is without sin cast the first stone. She has remained married to Mike ever since. Maybe the KJV had something to do with it. She was not a KJV believer after she first got saved.</description>

		<description>Pg 178 Read the top of the page HH (most new versions USUALLY omit these words) 
You are in error on that point. Next
Pg 1141 You left out &quot;like&quot; the X club and the Skull and Bones. Another distortion. 
Pg 191 Jamews Strong said they were fanatical. Coming from a heretic, that is a good thing. Wrong again HH
Pg 712 Christians do not kill heretics. We pray for them. 
Pg 731 Who&#039;s distorted version of history are you reading? HH you are what you are.
Pg 740 Nico means to conquer. &quot;laity&quot;. Any more ignorant word studies?
Pg 843 Pederast Vaughan (Westcott&#039;s buddy) was appointed as the Master of the Temple in London by Prime Minister Gladstone. Get your history straight!
Pg 843-51 She also qoutes from Luarence Gardner Bloodline of the Holy Grail and other blaspemous works to prove that Vaughan and the Templars were as ungodly as they come. Not the type of people you want messing with the Holy Scriptures.
Pg 1007 National Liberals they were. Ginsburg corrupted the Old testament Hebrew underlying the KJV and other pure Bibles. Ginsburg wrote The Kabbala, an occult book. Madam Blavatsky used Ginsburg&#039;s Kabbala book for her  own satanic The Secret Doctrine book.

Wrong on all counts Highland Ghost</description>

		<description>On P. 178 of her latest book, &#039;Hazardous Materials&#039;, Riplinger claims that the ASV omits from Gal 5.6 and 1 John 5.13 words which in fact it contains. This CANNOT be an oversight, as she claims to have compared the Bible versions carefully. She gives the whole verse from the AV, then PART of the verse from the ASV, ALL THE TIME PRETENDING THIS IS THE FULL ASV verse. 

On P. 1141 she identifies Archbishop Trench of Dublin&#039;s badge of office, bearing the cross of St. Patrick, as a &quot;medallion of the Masonic Grand Scottish Knights of St. Andrew.&quot; Apparently it took her some effort to come up with this LIE, as the actual portrait she refers to is on P. 359, where the medallion is only descibed as &quot;like&quot; that of the Scottish Freemasons. Quite how an Irish Archbishop could be a Scottish Freemason is beyond me. On Pp. 367-75 she discusses Trench&#039;s reasons for placing a snake on his title page, having never realised that the image was the logo of his American publisher. 

On P. 191 she describes the fanatical polygamist Anabaptists of Munster as &quot;those good Anabaptists&quot;.

On P. 712 she writes: &quot;Calvin promoted burning men at the stake.&quot; In fact Calvin wanted Michael Servetus to be beheaded, not burned, indicating that he was opposed to burning men at the stake.

On P. 731 she claims the Dualist heretics the Bogomils and Paulicians as true Christians.

On P. 740 she wrongly derives the name of the Nicolaitans from a false etymology. It actually means &#039;folowers of Nicholas&#039;, not &#039;conquerors of the people&#039;.

On P. 843 she tells us that &quot;As the &#039;Master,&#039; Vaughan became the &#039;Dean&#039; or &#039;Bishop&#039; of the Temple Church.&quot; Of course he did nothing of the sort. He was dean of Llandaff Cathedral in Wales (which is why he is commonly called &#039;Dean Vaughan&#039;), but the title &#039;Master of the Temple&#039; refers to the man who is the minister of the Temple Church. &#039;Dean&#039; and &#039;Bishop&#039; are entirely separate ecclesiastical titles.

Pp.843-51 are an essay in the absurd. She credits the &#039;Da Vinci Code&#039; as a reliable source for the study of the Knights Templar, and accepts every absurb fantasy about the Templars currently on the market. Just reading Helen Nicholson&#039;s book on the Templars would be enough to exlode ALL of the claims in this section.

P. 1007 shows that she believes the &#039;National Liberal Club&#039; to have been a club for theological liberals, not a club for members of the Liberal Party, a party that represented most British Evangelicals in the period in question.

You wanted one error, I&#039;ve given ten. Where&#039;s my coconut?</description>

<p>On P. 843 she tells us that &#8220;As the &#8216;Master,&#8217; Vaughan became the &#8216;Dean&#8217; or &#8216;Bishop&#8217; of the Temple Church.&#8221; Of course he did nothing of the sort. He was dean of Llandaff Cathedral in Wales (which is why he is commonly called &#8216;Dean Vaughan&#8217;), but the title &#8216;Master of the Temple&#8217; refers to the man who is the minister of the Temple Church. &#8216;Dean&#8217; and &#8216;Bishop&#8217; are entirely separate ecclesiastical titles.</p>
<p>Pp.843-51 are an essay in the absurd. She credits the &#8216;Da Vinci Code&#8217; as a reliable source for the study of the Knights Templar, and accepts every absurb fantasy about the Templars currently on the market. Just reading Helen Nicholson&#8217;s book on the Templars would be enough to exlode ALL of the claims in this section.</p>
<p>P. 1007 shows that she believes the &#8216;National Liberal Club&#8217; to have been a club for theological liberals, not a club for members of the Liberal Party, a party that represented most British Evangelicals in the period in question.</p>
<p>You wanted one error, I&#8217;ve given ten. Where&#8217;s my coconut?</p>
