I see that "money spenders" get more attention than "idea promulgators" in Tennessee politics. Tennessee White Horse Independent gubernatorial candidate JAMES REESOR answers questions about suicide, stem cell research, sex, human cloning, abortion, euthanasia, free contraceptives for kids, homosexuality, marriage, health care, etc. http://www.jamesreesor.com/JamesReesor2010…
So Jeff, do you take this as a ploy of desperate Democrats or a shot at dirty Republicans. What proff has been show to back any alegations or dispute any truths. Or have they left you in the dark since September.
List of unaccredited institutions of higher learning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unaccredited_institutions_of_higher_learning#A
"This is a list of colleges, seminaries, and universities which do not have educational accreditation.
Degrees or other qualifications from unaccredited institutions may not be accepted by civil service or other employers. Some unaccredited institutions have formal legal authorization to enroll students or issue degrees, but in some jurisdictions (notably the United States) legal authorization to operate is not the same as educational accreditation. See Unaccredited institutions of higher learning for discussion of the various reasons why institutions may operate without accreditation
.
Institutions that appear on this list are those that grant post-secondary academic degrees but are listed as unaccredited by a reliable source. Some of these institutions are no longer in operation. Several unaccredited universities have names that are similar to those of accredited institutions or that falsely imply that it is a public university."

BarbaraL,
Just for your information, all Muslims do not want to destroy "us". Well over half of the Muslims here are International students. America is the melting "pot of the world". We have different relgions here in America...Christian, Catholic, Latter Day Saints...etc...China Town, Little Italy. So, tell me what is wrong with Muslims wanting to build a Mosque?? Especially, for these International students who are 16hrs away from their home, family, culture, and religion.
"[T]he book doesn't trash anyone. Ford talks honestly about his time in politics and the book is dedicated to the voters of the 9th District of Tennessee. Woods is just an angry guy who has never liked Ford. 'More Davids Than Goliaths' is a terrific read. Everyone should read it and all will be proud of Ford, especially Tennesseans."
Come on, Chris. Be honest. You didn't actually read Junior's book, did you?
I hope Mike McWherter is asked to address this topic when next he's queried by reporters. (In case you haven't heard, Mike McWherter has been endorsed by Governor Phil Bredesen).
"Islam (Submission) condemns suicide as much as it condemns oppression and aggression against others. While the Muslims (Submitters) are commanded to stand for their rights and defend themselves, their properties and their freedom they are told to first resort to peace advocate tolerance and disregard the ignorant. The following verses from the Quran show how the Quran describes suicide, such an important issue in our life that was made the center of the conflict in the Middle East lately.
(2:195) You shall spend in the cause of GOD; do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction. You shall be charitable; GOD loves the charitable.
(4:29) O you who believe, do not consume each others' properties illicitly - only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.
(4:30) Anyone who commits these transgressions, maliciously and deliberately, we will condemn him to Hell. This is easy for GOD to do. "

looks like a case of radical christians against moderate muslims.
Wow Jonathan, you sound like you're really mad at bigoted, incestuous, uneducated hillbilly cowards like me. I better stay anonymous. Why would someone with a German name be celebrating diversity and frothing at the keyboard at the same time? Must be a fake name.
Look at all the bigoted, hillbilly cowards hiding behind anonymous screen names on a website. You have got to be two of the most ignorant fools around. Timothy McVeigh was a Christian zealot just as much as the Saudi men on 9/11 were Muslim nutjobs. Do the Amish make you to dress like you are from the 1800s and force you to not have electricity? Don't follow the teachings of a religion if you don't want to, but you also can't force someone to basically believe the same thing you do. Celebrate diversity and down with incest you backwoods, uneducated inbreds.
My grandparents were Christians in Northern Ireland. She was Protestant, and he was Catholic. They had to flee after death threats.
I volunteered and joined the Army, and I served as an 11B Infantryman. Most of my time in the field was in squad or platoon size operations. We would have discussions about what we were fighting for. It always came back to the “Bill of Rights”. To me the most important was “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
What did our Founding Fathers have to say about religion:
"Question with boldness even the existence of a god." - Thomas Jefferson (letter to Peter Carr, 10 August 1787):
"All natural institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit." Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason;
"Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.", John Madison;
“Lighthouses are more helpful than Churches”, Benjamin Franklin

I've figured out how to get the Nashville Scene against the Islamic mosque in Murfreesboro.
They can just name it the "Maytown Center" and the Scene will make up every excuse under the sun to justify why it shouldn't exist.
I agree that the writer of this article knows nothing about the methods the Muslim leadership is using to infiltrate America. They learned years ago that they couldn't take us over by overt force. So for several decades, they have encouraged their people to move to America and slowly and quietly take over through the political system! I have no doubt that our founding fathers did not have in mind allowing people that want to destroy us and subjugate us to their religious laws to be qualified as Americans. America is about separation of State & Church!
Make NO MISTAKE, when the Muslim religious leaders across the country tell their members it is time to Take Over, EVERYONE of them will arise. Not to do so would mean their own death!!! You can NOT partially believe the Koran any more than you can partially believe the BIBLE!!
The writer is a MORON. He tries to educate the public before understanding even one thing about the issue. He refuses to open his eyes to reality because he is so blinded by his liberalism.
REad the Koran and visit....
www.ActforAmerica.com
www.CreepingSharia.com
www.JihadWatch
After you get educated, then come back and make comments. Don't be like the MORON writer of the article (blind leading the blind).
The writer understands that we live in the US and that Americans, to continue to be Americans and to support our Constitituion, cannot base hateful words and actions on revenge. How many of us have died for freedom in this country? At no point was that freedom contingent on reciprocity.
This person is an uneducated MORON.
Read the Koran and study what is happening in Europe and evaluate the daily occurrences of SUBVERSION of the US Constitution by Creeping Shariah law in the US.
Another self-serving tale that rivals the fiction of a Harry Potter story.
At least he left Tennessee. Count your blessings where they fall.
Unfortunately, Chattanooga is full of politicians I wish were in New York. We in the process of recalling Mayor Littlefield for his corruption. He's the chosen ruler of ex-State Senator Ward Crutchfield, another dancer from the Tennessee Waltz scandal.
If Nashville gets a bus load to send to New York, we'll give you gas money if you'll take our current crop of miscreants.

To judge by the previous comments, a hair-pulling, eye-gouging catfight over a long-gone Ford, Jr. has commenced. Amazin' when a guy(?!!) inspires other guys to engage in a metaphorical brawl over him. Always thought that the girls were supposed to do the same thing over a fella and for real.
Chris, Junior just called. Your check is ready to be picked up.
Re: “Barring a miracle, next week's elections portend a historic Republican rout”
What a disgusting pile of trash written by Jeff Woods. It isn't even accurately researched. Davis is running for his 5th term. You are a pathetic writer and have no credibility.
