This was the original Seminole Heights blog with commentary about life in and around the urban neighborhood of Seminole Heights in Tampa, Florida. Musings about other topics as my mood permits. The blog is essentially inactive since I moved to Lutz. Go to The Official Unofficial Seminole Heights Blog - www.seminoleheightsblog.com for active content.
My problem with left wingers is they don't believe in original sin. "Let create a utopia, sit around the campfire, hold hands and sing kum-ba-yah"
My problem with right wingers is they don't believe in redemption. "Fry the bastards"

You're right there. Not much to argue about. Support the troops!
My problem with Catholics (your link) is that they do.
My problem with left-wingers is they don't shave. My problem with right-wingers is NASCAR.
So there.
Everyone's problem is that you people have a PROBLEM!!
You know what my problem is?
My wings are non-functional.
However, they're highly decorative (see name link).
rafe: please keep your disgusting exhibtionism out of this forum.
thank you
My problem with Scott is that he thinks Catholicism is real and that the world falls within it's strictly defined perimeters.
((Hey Scott, It Doesnt))
What about all of the left wingers and right wingers who live and die without ever hearing the name Christ?
or Odin, Zeus, Brigid, or Vishnu?
I'm a big fan of Odin and Loki. And J.R. "Bob" Dobbs!
My problem with the dwellers of the underworld is that they always smell of brimstone.
My problem with the elder gods is that they're so holier-than-thou!
Unfortunately, the theme of this post just plays right along with the assumption these days that drives me crazy - that politics and religion are somehow inextricably intertwined. They're not. Well...they shouldn't be.
Isn't that what the founding fathers had in mind, separation of church and state? Not together. Separate.
That the "founding fathers" thought it necessary to debate the role of religion in government and to simultaneously guarantee freedom of (and from!) religion in this country tells us that even 200+ years ago, religion and politics were a tangled mess.
That the Roman Catholic church is a government unto itself (Vatican city) and has ruled large portions of what was one Rome should tell you that even 1000+ years ago, religion and politics were in bed together.
In fact, I don't think it's ever been the case that religion hasn't been an important political factor in all of human history. Any time you get a group of people together, like in church for example, you have politics.
"Blue" laws anyone?
