Bush-Bashing is dumb enough but we've got a Christian-Basher whining about the distant past. Reading Comprehension is apparently one of your weak points.
I wrote "When was the last time....." and you respond with centuries ago. Hee, Hee.
You wrote "Atheists respect life". Which ones, Dood? The ones in China's CCP who drag women from their homes screaming and into a cheap hotel rooms or abortion clinics to kill their infants?
Or the Russia Government/Mafia consortium that frames innocent people, tortures them to death in prisons to extract "confessions" and then steals the victim's business enterprise? Stalin wiped out so many people that he could have sold the bodies to King Obama for Green Recycling and made a ..hee, hee...killing....
Or how about Cuba where....well, I'm not going to spend the entire evening rubbing your face into your own doggie-poo. That face looks bad enough as it is.

“So any adroit, unscrupulous fellow, who knows the world, has only to get among these simple souls and his fortune is quickly made; he plays with them.”

– Lucian of Samosata, "The Passing of Peregrinus." (2nd century AD).

With over 1200 Christian organizations, the USA has a greater number of Jesus fan clubs than any other country in the world.

The proliferation of variegated brands of Christianity in America is so extreme that it acquires a comic dimension.

One might discern only a subtle difference in name between, say, the "Evangelical Congregational Church" and the "Evangelical Covenant Church", or the "Church of God in Christ" and "Church of Christ" but miss a gulf of doctrinal distinction.

But then, who is bothered about doctrine anyway?

Denominations, a source of so much anguish and bloodshed in the past, have diminishing importance in the era of evangelical psychosis, mega-churches and apocalyptic blockbusters. The important thing is to "have religion".

"With religion" you are a patriot, defending the American way of life; without religion you are a subversive radical, an enemy.

Christianity USA is all show business and emotional razzmatazz. Organised as international corporations, with a globalised "mission" of subsidiary offices, its product is propaganda, pouring in prodigious quantity from a network of TV and radio stations and publishing houses. The intent is to draw further millions into the mass of devotees.

In choreographed extravaganzas Pastor whips up mindless love of Jesus and serious fund raising, and then retreats to his opulent sanctuary, content in knowing that he is a tireless servant of the Lord.

Don't know about that...but I do know Obama distanced himself from Harry Reid's comments about Romney.

Harry Reid or Hair-Plug Joe could have sat in Eastwood's chair for the same effect.

[And so it goes]

This from former IRS Commissioner Fred Goldberg

"These returns reflect the complexity of our tax laws and the types of investment activity that I would anticipate for persons in their circumstances. There is no indication or suggestion of any tax-motivated or aggressive tax planning activities. In my judgment, they have fully satisfied their responsibilities as taxpayers. They have done so by relying on a highly reputable return preparer and other advisors, who have in turn relied primarily on information provided by third parties to them and to the IRS. The end result of that process has been returns that include a multitude of schedules, IRS forms and accompanying statements that provide appropriate transparency and the proper payment of taxes that Governor and Mrs. Romney owe under current law."

<quoted text>Best selling Christian author and pastor of the eighth largest church in America, Rick Warren says Obama is a Christian. Obama said his faith in Jesus Christ is his Salvation. What proof do you have? Mitt follows Joesph Smith that said the Bible is not the true word of God but that the Book of Mormon is. I wonder what God will think about all you "Christians" voting for a known non-christian?

So this guy calls himself a Christian.

And this guy who calls himself a Christian calls another guy(Barry Obama) who also calls himself a Christina - a Christian, too! Cool, eh?

Where are you going with this?

Who's on second, Blowhard?

OK, Mrs Sam the painter, I see that you have been mislead, or that you make some things up, I think someone lied to you maybe, and that you are not bad to make up theses things.
First look it up Obama did not Gut our Forces, where did you get that ? please look up the troop strength and you will see it is almost exact as under Bush. also look at Afghanistan Obama put more extra troops there, after he took then away, from Iraq.
So thart part you say is false some one lied to you.
Obama has not done anything bad to industry or he has not changed the climate, that is al fore, all Obama has done is give some money to people who want to make electricity and cars with out using oil,
Some odd these companies have went bankrupt and some have not. but that did not destroy or control industry so again someone lied you.
He did endorse same sex marriage and I think Homos are bad people,
and I think god will punish them for their sick and unnatural acts,
but I think Obama did this only for votes and this is OK because it is not us to punish the sick homo's, it is only for god to punish them, so let them Get married god will fix them on judgement day
Obama did not force any tax on us, we always had taxez.
I did not see him use socialism, and what business did he crush, with it? again I think you should look it up.
glorify UN over US , I think someone sends you an chain Email with all this, in it, and you re post it, with out looking it up, also in your picture, you look like a circus clown, with lots of make-up and lip-stick, better pick a better picture lady.
Destroying the Constitution by Executive Order mania I do not know what this is but it sound like Pinochet when he took over Chile, this is Dangerous, we should make congress change this. you maybe right on this one, and also on the Illegal Aliens, They should have to be legal like I am, I hang out, in my neighbourhood, with them, because I am brown like them, and If I don't they will beat me, or my Family, sometimes they say come on smoke a blunt with us, and we will go rape some white Bitches, and I tell them no this is wrong, I can not go rape with you, but I do smoke the blunt, and it is good, Promoting illegal aliens to super citizen status, is wrong, and I do not like it, We should make congress change this too, because my friends that are illegal, work real hard and get 30,000 a year, but then they laugh at you, and say whites are stupid, because they give us 40,000 a year extra free money just to have kids, and out breed them, so then they laugh ,and say as long as you give it, we will keep coming, so yes this part is bad lady, but please get a better picture the pixels have stretched it out, make you look funny like a clown, Remember we can have 4 more years of Obama if you want. you should read on those thugs I tell you because someone lied in an email to you

You need to awaken from your stupor,however it has been induced and smell the the stench of the relality this President is trying to impose upon us... and by us I mean everyone.... not just democrats, republicans, or independants.

Do you just hope some or all of your BS sticks when you post?

Your BS drips from your mouth each time you open it.

Oil production is up *IN SPITE OF* the Jerk-In-Chief's efforts to slow it. See? Some people actually have the gall to fight back against ham-handed stupidity.

A union that supports the Kenyan Snake means...what? It's a surprise?

Are you trying to impress me with this? Explain to me how a union thug supporting a Socialist President is somehow a talking point in your favor.

So can someone please tell me - if these Muslim nations hate us sooooooooo much - why do they keep accepting millions of dollars from the infidel?

Maybe Tenzing can answer that question. He's the topix expert on US/Muslim relations.

It is much more serious than any of us imagine, I'm afraid.
It will take time for al Qaeda to reach it's goal and become the governing power in the Middle East but they're influence with the help of Iran is behind the unrest we are witnessing.
Israel could strike Iran's nuclear facilities any day. Literally. Iran threatened that there would be nothing remaining of Israel if that happens.
We are going to be forced to join with other nations and intervene militarily on a much bigger global front if al Qaeda is to be stopped from controlling the Middle East and if Israel drops the first bomb on Iran. It's more a matter of when, not if.
I believe we are watching the beginning of WWIII unfold before our eyes. I can only hope I'm wrong and pray you're right. We tried to stay out of WWII too if you remember until Pearl Harbor. Israel and Iran could very well be our Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor did happen again. It was on Spetember 11, 2001. Our enemies attacked us from the air on that day much like the Japanese did in Hawaii so many years ago.
The difference... many more people (americans and foreignors alike) were killed in Manhatten, Northern Virginia, and the field in Pennyslvania than died on Oahu On December 7, 1941.
Economically the United States started its downhill slide that day as the twin towers representing our financial strength came tumbling down.

For a whole generation, Greeks have elected and supported a political establishment (generally-speaking), which in turn has rewarded it with an extravagant system of state support and subsidy.

Still no rebuttal and no clue what you are talking about.
The fact that Greece went on a spending spree is well documented and in turn for votes rewarded the citizens with subsidies and government programs.
Google it.

Greece also had(or still does have)a shadow economy of nepotism, cronyism and graft which also greatly contributed to its economic ills when the bird of fate began singing. Spain, too, to a lesser degree.

When you walk through WalMart, how many Greek Whirlygigs do you see on the shelves?

The Greeks sell and manufacture...what?

Sunsets, hotels and Opa! finally pooped out and now comes the hangover. And boy are they ever crabby!

The Libyan people have just done more to address & avenge Ambassador Stevens' death than President Barack Obama has.

Well, as a Christian, I think God would say let me be the judge of the hearts of men and save their souls and you be the judge of a proven businessman to save this nation.

But that's just my humble opinion.

I think the media overplayed their hand on the Romney comment about the 47% slackers.
Sure, some people might be offended by it, like the slackers who are in denial, or even the proud slackers.But I think a good percentage of slackers will rush to vote for Romney so that they can distance themselves from the rest of the slackers.
Those slackers don't really want to be slackers because the benefits they receive from the government don't come close to the money they can make in a good economy, not to mention that they are unsure if Obama care will even cover their prescription marijuana.

Do you recall when King Obama belittled white Christian middle class Pennsylvanians during his last Presidential campaign? He spoke derisively of pickups, guns and religion with a smirk on his face. The media played with this for about 3 seconds.

The Jerk-In-Chief has blurted out many of these little gems but the media always moves on to bury it quickly.

However, Mitt Romney is a different story. The Liberal MSM always aims for his jugular. It's their job. Obama owns them.

No argument there, but in the end social programs need to be paid for and if you have one part of the economy with its hand out and another part of the economy with a closed fist. Then of course it is going to fail big time. If you had the measures that the Greeks have put on them at the moment you would be rioting in the streets as well. It was let go for far too long, so the pain is so much worse.
The US is no different, if you keep current entitlements like Medicare without dramatic changes & keep spending 2-3% extra of GDP on Military than anyone else then you are heading the same way as the Greeks. Why do you think Health care was made a priority by Obama yet you righties turned into loss of freedom bs.
Then if its a cut to Military is loss of security, if its an increase in Taxes its Obama hurting business. Its all BS, if you don't take those measures and think the old ways are tried and proven then you are in one of "Steve Jobs" distorted reality fields.
You have to look back and see the result of dropping financial rules on Wall St that Reagan did, and follow through on the Economic graph and see where the real problems have occured then ask what do we change to fix this problem. NOT to say lets do it all over again.
If you have to hide behind

I see you have shifted away from your claim that Greece was not socialistic in its approach to government.

We are suffering from similar problems Greece is; too few contributing to the revenue base due to high employment. Greece's tax rate is at 45%. The problem with using taxes or the "Fair Share" claim for income redistribution is you cannot force businesses or even wealthy individuals from not ex-patrioting which is happening in France as their tax rate hit 75%. The US has had several large businesses move their corporate headquarters over seas.

However, if you look at the economies not struggling such as Canada and Australia you will see the opposite. They lowered taxes and businesses are migrating to them. More businesses, more revenues from both the business and the employees.

The old way worked while this experiment in the EU failed miserably.

The world changed forever on September 11, 2001, just as it did on December 7, 1941, to be sure.

We need a leader who can envision a better future regardless.
