I've always found it weird how you could be a rightwing christian and things like $60,000 bags exist in a capitalistic society. I don't think Jesus would approve.

What i found weird is how the Christian church begs for money yet its Bishops and such live in damn nice houses...

American Christianity is very rich and comfortable. If Jesus were to come back, he would be astonished to see many of his followers in America

Not that weird considering most urban progressives wouldn't give a penny to a homeless person begging for money yet also live in damn nice houses.

Seems like she is a bit of a philanthropist.

Good for her and I hope her stuff makes her happy. I'm still gonna call stupid every time anybody buys a $60,000 pocketbook.

Wrong premise. She might have a $50K bag and you would have a boat....health care be dammed.:biggrin:
Nah, my wife would never buy a $50K bag either - she'd buy a $50 bag and a $20k boat.

Hell, I have to practically drag her and it to the counter to get her to buy a $50 bag, even though personally I'd be happy if she bought a hundred dollar bag if I didn't have to stand there while it happened. Happened slooowly. :D

You've met "most urban progressives" and know this for a fact, do you?
Actually Glenn has met ALL urban progressives. I still remember when he got the plaque. What was that, '08? '09? Something like that. Pretty sure he quoted the exact percentage who would not give to panhandlers in his acceptance speech. I do remember it was a beautiful speech. Women cried, babies laughed, men sniffled. One US Senator declared that speech changed his life. Don't remember which one, but I think he was tall and had good hair and lots of teeth. Weren't no Canadians there though.

Yeah, if you took away those $60k bags and gave it to the poor just imagine how many 40 ounce malt liquors they could buy.

In other news, progressives think what they waste money on is morally superior to what richer people waste their money on.

In other news, conservatives think that all poor people do is drink malt liquor.

I find it odd that liberals who are not part of the 1% can own 9 homes. People can call themselves whatever they want.... A self proclaimed Christian can own a $60,000 purse and a self proclaimed global warming specialist Al Gore can trot around the globe in his private dinosaur juice burning jet.

Don't be ridiculous, we know they also make babies they can't afford to feed. :D

Pretty sure Algore's private jets all burn Manbearpig juice.

Wow! What kind of plaque was it? Lots of nice gold leaf I hope? And I'd love to see a video of the speech if there is one. Sounds like a real barn burner. Why were the babies laughing while the adults were crying. One of those secret speech within a speech things?

Well - no, no gold leaf. But some nice brass. And I don't know about those babies - I asked why they were laughing, but they really didn't explain it very well. I suspect the Bilderburgers though.

If it's a burglary, I hope she gets her stuff back, if it's an insurance scam, she gets what's coming to her, and if it's a publicity stunt, she gets shamed.
That said I would encourage her to do some self reflection. What is missing that she needs $60K bags and so much plastic surgery to try to fill?. Why does she feel the need to go on TV and brag about her bag storage (which she did a couple weeks before the burglary)? It's a symptom of something, and that something won't go away with more bags.

If Jesus came back it would be American Christians nailing him to the cross again.

Meh, it's not my money; she can spend it however she wants.

If I was rich enough, I'm sure I'd make some purchases that others would question.

Yep, she's one evil rich lady.

http://theresaroemer.com/about/

Theresa Roemer has been a small business owner since opening her first fitness facilities in Wyoming in 1991. Currently, she is the CEO of Theresa Roemer, LLC and oversees the development of several lifestyle brands. She recently opened a showroom in Houston, Texas where she is creating a bespoke fitness and clothing wear line, as well as a home and décor line.

An extreme supporter of many local and national charities, Theresa is a board member for Child Legacy International, making frequent trips to Malawi to build sustainable programs for children there, teaching them how solar and wind create electricity, and installing clean water filtration systems. She is a member of the Circle of Red for the America Heart Association and raises hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Theresa has been an ambassador for the Texas Children’s Hospital since 2008.

As a child Theresa was diagnosed with rheumatic fever many times over, which caused her to have a heart murmur; she was sickly and her doctors diagnosed her with a lifetime of physical constraints. Theresa opened her chain of fitness centers, Body by Design in Wyoming in 1991 and ran five facilities through 2000, while also providing personal training services through her company Phenomenal Physiques during this time. She took the U.S. Open title in body building at the age of 40, and in the year 2010 Theresa held the titles of Mrs. Houston U.A., Mrs. Texas U.A., and was the 1st runner up for Mrs. United America concurrently. In 2011 Theresa climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for Child Legacy International.

It is a tradition in the Roemer home that Sunday nights are “pizza night”, which are especially reserved for family.

Good points. I'm sure people would question my sanity.

I mean, don't question my right to make moral judgements about people I don't know! I'm on the Internet, damn it. That automatically gives me moral authority.

Whew, that was close!

No, owning a $60,000 bag is in direct opposition to the teachings of the founder of Christianity and, thus, god himself. They aren't being untrue only to themselves, but to the creator of all things who will judge them after death.

Al Gore is just a hypocritical douche bag.

So, we have a self-made entrepenuer (not someone who was handed their wealth), gives heavily to Texas Children's Hospital and others, and stays for the most part out of politics, and some of you have nothing better to do than bitch and moan about her wealth. The jealousy and envy is so sad.

BTW, in her personal bio, I see nothing about her being a rightwing Christian. Can any of you support that allegation or are you just assuming because A) She gave a few bucks to Romney, 2) She's white and 3) She lives in Texas?

I hope none of you have a man-cave either, because that's what this closet essentially is for the woman. Geesh, get over yourselves.
