when he went undercover at Hagees church. When you actually think your puking up demons into a paper bag, it's time to question your ability to make informed choices. If you actually WANT the world to end, I don't want you picking my rulers. I don't care if this sounds "elitist", these people should not be allowed to vote. We already keep mentally retarded people from voting on the grounds they cannot reason correctly, it is time to expand that criteria to include people who use their pastor as their barometer. Particularly one who acts just like those old school bosses of the thirties and forties. Only this time for the other side.
These people are puppets on strings which means they are already not using reason thus making them dangerous. As much as I appreciate the idea of equal votes for all, if you are trying to "hurry up" the end of the world, you are too dangerous to have the vote. Sometimes ideals have to take a back seat to reason and sanity. Writing foriegn (and in the case of rights, domestic) policy based on a 3000 year old book that could have been written by anyone is not sane or reasonable by any objective standard.
that your candidate supported the Iraq war forcing me to vote for Obama. Now, where's the sexism there?
Yet another reason why I don't regret not voting for her.
Isn't that basically financial blackmail? "If you don't vote for our party, well, we may have to make a few cutbacks." This is proof that the "people" don't drive the economy, billionairs do. How is that a "free" market?
I wonder how much Focus on the Family is paying this woman?
now maybe Hillary supporters will stop seeing every vote for Obama as some personal slight against women.
A paid republican troll goes on the Obama site and posts an anti-semetic rant. He then alerts his fellow employees in the blogosphere to his post so they can pretend to be offended. Their idiot readers take everything they say at face value so they think it's a legitamate post. The media then runs with it without fact checking becuase they are afraid of the "liberal bias" label and see this as a way to avoid the claim. The non-issue gets blown out of proportion and some republican plant at an Obama rally blindsides him with a question about the post and becuase he was too busy caring about real issues he didn't know about it. The plant then puts the video footage of Obama being surprised on YouTube and now he has to answer stupid questions for the rest of the campaign about this phony post the republican party put on his website.
And that's how our election process works!
Interesting note: The phony cowboy routine is exactly why many people still stand by him to this day. I wonder if they would consider him "weak" for having doubts (and all it took was five years of abject failure nad no accomplishments met), something they would no doubt do if he were a democrat. Who am I kidding, a democrat would have been impeached by now!
Republicans have always thought their own voters were stupid. This isn't anything new. First he's a secret muslim, then he was a christian who hates America (only after the Rev. Wright incident was too good to pass up) now he's a secret muslim again? If conservative voters spent as much time paying attention to their own parties claims as they did looking for "libral bias" in the media, they might be able to see the contradictions here. The upside here is that this isn't a TV ad yet so only the most hardcore anti-Obama blogger will ever see it. Unless of course the idiot media runs with this and the next thing you know Tim Russert will be asking Obama if he's a muslim all over again. Becuase they have to do their job and hold our elected officials to the fire when they lie!
"I'm sorry sir, but you haven't been loyal enough to your own cause, I'm afraid we're going to have to arrest you for treason."
"Still, given her age, Rebecca could never have experienced how odiously motherhood was once forced upon women and how all other options were closed and what courage it took to reject the commandment to marry and mother."
That is not the childs fault and the child should not have to be a sacrifice for the "Great Work" as you call it. My mother, after my parents divorced, was the breadwinner of the house and handed off the parenting duties to her future husband, my stepfather. To say he didn't want the responsibility would be an understatement. He mistreated my sister and I at every turn and went out of his way to make us feel small. All while treating his children the way he was supposed to treat us.
We were a sacrifice for the Great Work and both of us became bitter and resentful towards our mother later on in life. Although we reacted in different ways, the cause was the same. Child rearing is hard, but to reject your daughter when she gets pregnanat just because that is not the choice you would have made at her age is inexcusable. If the accounts described in this article alone are true, then it sounds like this is more then simple jealousy over taking second place or a more successful career. It sounds as though Ms. Walker is indeed rejecting her daughter and had done so at a very young age. That is indefensible.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
