One has to wonder how the Diocese of Columbus deals with

unmarried heterosexuals cohabiting?
What steps do they take when such a relationship is known?
Or is it only homosexuals that are treated in this manner?

So he goes to Russia for six months

and leaves his American wife and baby, who apparently returned to her parents during his absence. Unless she's worked, her parents were likely supporting wife and baby.

Tamerlan reportedly told one of his relatives that his work was fixing cars. Again, not sure how he and brother got income for rent, food, car, gas, let alone money to make weapons of mass destruction.

Very peculiar goings-on.

Unfortunately for me

I have not had the type of experience you refer to.
I accept that apparently my psychology is not particularly receptive to that type of experience, sort of like some people cannot or should not be hypnotized.
I have been to Lourdes and Medjugore and saw or felt nothing other than what was physically obvious.

I don't doubt that some do have those actual experiences, though.

Poster is painting with a broad brush

After all, this is Massachusetts and the chances are more that the police are Dems are higher there than is most other areas.

Before floating such charges,check to see who the unions endoresed in recent elections. (I don't know the answer, but I wouldn't be throwing out statements without being better informed.)

Yes,

as an act of faith.

Thanks for the heads up

Having word the Romney will be on TV at 6p.m. is the incentive I need to get off my --- and go exercise this evening at 6p.m.

I pray for wisdom and strength for myself, especially for this day I am living.

I pray for my children individually, for my beloved deceased, including spouse, brother & sister, parents, grandparents, and other relatives, for my friends that are ill, the mentally ill, and caregivers.

I ask the Holy Spirit to send to me and my children the gifts of the Holy Spirit- wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, courage, piety & fear of the Lord.

I thank God for the many gifts I have been given, including length of life and relatively good health, a sound mind, attentive family, the beautiful world including mountains and seas, and kind people.

I ask the intercession of Mary to guide my in my days.
When driving I pray for a calm attitude.

"He fell in love with someone else"

Well, la-de-da.
He is the father of four boys.
He had no right to put himself in the position of falling "in love with someone else."
His duty is and remains to raise his sons into decent men, and he's not giving them the example they deserve.
Jenny is classy in that she is raising those boys without a father, not an easy job, and will become more difficult when they are teenagers and nearing college age.

Mark Sanford not only cheated on Jenny, he cheated his four sons out of a decent father.

FDR was the President when I was born

He was our President throughout WWII,
and I remember the shock when he died so suddenly.

Do you realize that in many congressional districts

the Dems have a problem finding and fielding one candidate, much less two viable ones?

Case in point, SW Ohio, where Chabot, Boehner, and newly-elected Wenstrup (all Rs) hold sway.
They all have money and a well-established system behind them.

In 2012, the Dems had a no-name Wm. Smith as their candidate in Jean Schmidt's former district; Smith gave not one speech or one appearance; also had no money and apparently little interest in winning the office.
