    To those in need??? Now that is a loaded question. Many organizations that are considered deductible under the charitable clause have nothing to do with taking care of the needy. Examples are Medical Research and Church's for the most part. There are also a lot of "foundations" set up just to shelter these "gifts". So to imply that all the money the conservatives have in the charitable giving column went to the needed is something we both know isn't true.

    That Sir is the definition of "self-righteous"...

    And what percentage of libbies' contributions are for environmental causes?

    And you lecturing someone on self-righteousness is just laughable.

    As a preacher, my guilt or innocence has nothing to do with the message. The truth is still the truth regardless if I am guilty or not.

    But your walk is important.

    You wish to lecture others but do not seem to feel the need to correct the same error in yourself.

    What does Scripture say about a beam in your eye?

    Is there an exception for preachers?

    Preachers like any Christian are being perfected. I have never pretended to be perfect and I am sure not the only self-righteous person on the board. However, it doesn't change the message because he isn't perfect. The Word of God is still the Word of God and must be presented even if it convicts myself.

    Thought you might want to know, the bondholders you speak of is unsecured debt and not secured. Perhaps you should apologize to the president for saying he didn't know how bankruptcy works???

    What does your little rant about Republican charitable contributions which has no basis other than your uninformed opinion and ending with calling someone "self righteous" have to do with the Word of God?

    Your lack of education in economics is showing again.

    Both the obligation to the bondholders and the union obligations are not secured.

    However the union obiligations are subordinate to the bondholders.
