But hopefully the boards respectfully share opinions and pray about the wisdom needed to make the decisions. (It would be neat if Congress did that too, but that might be stretching it).David and Sarah Carrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14387355127535702980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162093434920087037.post-338085400010922012009-08-24T13:01:57.093-04:002009-08-24T13:01:57.093-04:00This is an interesting comparison that I had not m...This is an interesting comparison that I had not made before. However, my personal experience would has been that the boards in church have been anything but a "yes man" group but rather quite the opposite.Aaron Marcellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466891186183724029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162093434920087037.post-58245523093574751232009-08-12T23:04:51.369-04:002009-08-12T23:04:51.369-04:00"But don't we stop having a government an..."But don't we stop having a government and start with a dictatorship when this happens? If they are just a yes-board, doesn't that ruin the point of having them?"<br /><br />It's scary how much this happens. During the Bush administration, the GOP congress continually allowed him to violate national and international law with impunity, and set every agenda. The GOP were lapdogs, and the Democrats spineless. Now, it appears they've switched roles - yet still maintain the same subservience to presidential authority. But maybe that's just because the Democrats are still spineless, and Obama decided to reject change and just adopt all the criminal Bush policies. <br /> <br />And then, the fact that Obama has chosen to do absolutely nothing un-Bushlike perhaps speaks volumes about who really makes the policy in this country.<br /><br />It's enough to make a person cynical.<br /><br />Especially when I read conservatives blasting Obama <i>for the same stuff they praised or ignored in Bush!</i>Sedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992966189983263290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162093434920087037.post-27223365260789393952009-08-09T11:23:08.089-04:002009-08-09T11:23:08.089-04:00It is funny Daniel, the news here actually shows m...It is funny Daniel, the news here actually shows more international news than local it seems.
