Paragraph 1: The build up and some veiled concern for our President (ya right)
Paragraph 2: This is where the back handed assertions start to fly about how much it will cost. FactCheck.org
Paragraph 6: Duh all trip details including cost are secret, refer to link second paragraph.
Paragraph 7, 8, 9: More veiled concern for our Presidents safety… Glen Beck I did not know you cared (awww)
Paragraph 10: He does not know why he is going on this trip? Here is a Nov. 4 story Look shit up Beck…
Paragraph 11, 12: I think the Oil Spill and Health Care would take precedence over a trip like this. And your story on the Food thing. Provide a link Beck I don’t see any story you did on a Food Thing. I searched your site and Fox site; don’t see any pressing food matters that he should stay home for.
Paragraph 13: This paragraph suggests that he believes the 2 billion dollar trip story. (Get a clue Beck)
Paragraph 14: Speculation and assertion… That is non of your business Beck.
Paragraph 15: The secret service has done this a thousand times I think they can handle it.
Paragraph 16: Ok now we are going to try to confuse us with a light joke J

OMG you finish with: An Informal Fallacy of an Emotional Appeal and Guilt by Association attacks from other media members.
Well boo hoo Glen Beck get your facts right and your story straight you might get a bit more respect from real media instead of back patting from the Sheep that lick your boots and suck up to your indignation of people that don’t even know what your talking about.

Mandatory Tithing For Church Membership Is Business
My mother always said, “Never talk about politics or religion“. So in the true spirit of my questionable upbringing, let’s get this thing started. I fully expect to strike a nerve in many and look forward to the backlash. That is if I can get people to read this blog. Don’t hold back, go ahead and say it!
The tithing debate, at least on TRISI, shouldn’t be confused as an attack on religion or churches. Personally, I’m referring to required tithing or high pressure tactics by the Church or its management.
Many churches require mandatory tithing by Christians (giving 10% of their gross income to the Church) in order to become Church members. This is where I have a problem with tithing. Voluntary tithing or twentything (joking) is fine as long as it’s not required to become a member of the Church. And I’m not talking about some lame ass ‘exceptions’ for certain situations such as laid off or unemployed members. No one should be forced to donate to become a member.
Voluntary offerings to support their Church, house of worship or religious institutions is an admirable thing to do. If you attend, you should contribute in my opinion. That’s not the issue. As far as I’m concerned, even mandatory tithing isn’t a problem; as long as the Church operates as a business and pays the appropriate taxes.
Once donations or offerings become mandatory, they are no longer donations. They are membership dues. They should not be tax deductible and the Church should pay tax on the proceeds. Fair is fair. Either you want tax free status or you want a business. It’s simple math. Service provided for cost equals business.
And while I’m on the subject, stop saying it’s for God. That’s bullshit; God isn’t asking for money, the Church is. Nothing wrong with that but at least be honest about it. It’s to run the lights and pay the bills. To keep the Pastor/Minister/Reverend/Priest or whatever else they call themselves in decent cloths and housed properly. All good things if done with the right heart and for the right reason. Fear of hell or rejection is great business but not very Godly… Well, Ok, you got me there. lol
BTW, Send donations to my PayPal account or you are going to hell. Joking, I’m a very funny guy.
Just for your personal interpretation. I just want to be fair:
Malachi 3:10 (New International Version)
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.Malachi 3:10 (New Living Translation)
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!
Malachi 3:10 (King James Version)
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Shared Website Hosting – Unlimited Until You Reach The Limit
I use a dedicated server with HostGator (affiliate link) and I’m happy with it. The thing that has always frustrated me about many hosting sites is most offer unlimited shared website hosting. That’s all well and good but with three companies over the years, I was forced to either upgrade to a dedicated server or leave when I was supposedly paying for unlimited hosting on a shared account.
I understand that when the bandwidth started digging into other customers resources it becomes a problem but who asked them to dump my sites onto a server with 400 other websites? I just have a problem with the term ‘unlimited’ meaning unlimited until you reach the limit, then it’s too much.

Now That’s A Big Rumor! Facebook IS NOT Charging Members
Hundreds of thousands of people can’t be wrong… Right? Wrong! At least according to Snopes regarding the latest internet hoax that Facebook will begin charging membership fees this year.
It’s amazing how many people latch onto every internet rumor and hoax and take a stand against something that’s not true yet crawl up into the fetal position when it comes to real life issues like unemployment, bank bailouts and a failing economy. Where’s the outrage there? Global warming? How about child abduction and slavery, is that too boring? Is the fact that a communist country is positioned to be the next super power ok with everyone? (For the slow ones I’m referring to China) God forbid Facebook charges a monthly fee for a service like it was a business or something, we wont stand for that.
Now, with that cleared up, I think Facebook would be crazy not to offer some type of paid upgrade or ‘pro‘ membership like Flickr and many other sites do. Even though people are beating their chests right now over a silly rumor, when it comes down to it thousands will be open to paying for special treatment or an upgraded version of the free service. I wonder how many members that protest group will get? That’s Right, I Said It! Now do your part and voice your opinion below.
