		<description>Great response...I would only point out that the picture where the wingnuts claim that Obama is refusing to put his hand on his heart was not during the Pledge of Allegiance, but during the playing of the national anthem, and it is NOT required or even completely customary to put one&#039;s hand over one&#039;s heart during it.  Some do, some don&#039;t.</description>

		<description>Yawn, you start by calling me out using innuendo as your defense, &lt;em&gt;&quot;Someone running for President cannot blatantly disregard these issues and be considered serious. Only people who are wrapped up into a flashy show are willing to give him a pass, as you obviously are doing.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; then you expect some respect in return?

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Many of the founding father’s were believers,&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  What does this have to do with anything?  Sure they were, what is your point?  Bill Gates could be a Muslim, but that would not affect him being the richest person in the world or how he got there.  Arnold S, could be an aethiest but it doesn&#039;t affect him being the governor of California.  So why do you promote religious promotion, which as all &quot;men&quot; are not perfect and commit sin, how can you believe they will not take the power they have and use their religious beliefs to influence everyone through the laws of the land?

Honestly, I am tired of arguing this, I&#039;ll let a &lt;a href=&quot;http://borealdreams.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/make-sure-the-msm-understands-you-know-april-8th-existed/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;man of the cloth&lt;/a&gt; do it instead.


As to your friends in the military, yeah they go back, but you think it is because they want to go over to that hell hole when they are not told what they are doing there, they face being killed or permanently messed up for life, willingly?  I don&#039;t doubt they go, but for most it is not just to be in Iraq because the President asks them to protect the country, because we are not protecting the nation by being in Iraq.  But rather, they are in Iraq to be with their &quot;brothers in arm&quot;, they are a team, they are returning to look out for their friends.  &quot;Army of One&quot; &amp; &quot;No Marine Left Behind&quot; ring a bell?  Don&#039;t tell me someone that has gone on 5 tours in Iraq is &quot;happy&quot; about it, unless they have a death wish, desire to kill people with no recourse or have no family ties &amp; interest in being in their home town.  Housing foreclosures are higher in military towns than in other non military towns.

you want to put in a digg at the end.. well here it is....

		<description>@Hans...
First of all, you attempt to defend yourself with name calling and profanities does nothing to make for an intelligent conversation.

I&#039;ll start with where you spent most of your time, religion. First of all, apparently you misunderstood me, as well as the constitution. I do not support the government having anything to do with establishing religion, but you cannot prevent government officials from practicing their faith or operating from a conviction based on their faith. I do not believe the government should tell you or me what we can and cannot believe, what we can and cannot practice as a religious preference. As far as my &quot;religious&quot; beliefs, I am a Christian, but I believe every man should be free to worship as they choose and to practice those beliefs as long as they are within the means of our laws (I.E. just because the Koran says that Christians should be converted, enslaved, or killed doesn&#039;t mean that should be allowed in free worship).

You are wrong in your assessment of Christians, we do not believe we are the only ones who believe in God, we do believe that Jesus is the only path to Heaven, but we can debate that on another topic if you would like.

Now to my being brainwashed. I guess this is the best defense you can come up with for your candidate. All conservatives are brainwashed. Good one.  Once again that puts us one step closer to facts and solid information about the candidates. I guess you sat around one day and formed all of your beliefs about how the government should be run, no one influenced you...you are a self made man, right? Sure, I have had people influence and challenge my thinking, but I have reached a point in my life where I have to decide for myself what I accept and what I do not accept. I side with conservatism, but apparently you think that is a blank check of support for President Bush, that shows that you have flown off the handle without knowing who you are talking to or knowing what you are talking about. I respect my President and will not be found bashing him as many of you do, that just shows immaturity and is ridiculous, mature adults should be able to act like adults, not like pre-teens. But hey, apparently name calling is your thing.
I have disagreed with Bush on many things, and I find it funny that a liberal would hate and dislike the most liberal republican President that we have had in a long time. Sure I support him in several areas, but I do not approve of all of his views and stances such as, his immigration policy, his energy policy, his recent approval of the stimulus package, and on and on and on. So once again you are incorrect and wrong.

I do support most of our foreign policy stances. I am anti-big government and think that they have overstepped their bounds on a lot of domestic issues, but for the ones that have caught terrorist that you will never know of, I cannot complain. However, I support our troops in Iraq and no, I am not in the military, but I live in a city that has a military base that trains pretty much all of the communications for the army, I know a ton of soldiers, my cousin has served two tours of duty, my best friends has served two tours of duty, I have another friend who&#039;s office was shot up by a 50 cal. machine gun, he was hit with shrapnel and chose to stay. I don&#039;t know if you are in the military, but if you are, you are seriously the minority of all those I know and have talked to about &quot;Iraq&quot; who does not support what we are doing over there. Everyone of the people I know who have served in Iraq said they would go back or were happy to go back, but you want to talk about &quot;talking points&quot; please bring that up when you quit using liberal media outlets such as MSNBC and CNN&#039;s talking points, because that&#039;s apparently where you are getting your information from, not from the boots on the ground. If you are a soldier, thank you for your service, but apparently your brothers in the service are not seeing it your way.

But truly Hans you are not concerned with anyone&#039;s political view, you apparently have an issue with religion, so why am I wasting my time? In your response, you did nothing to show that your candidate is worthy to be President, you just knick picked at my comment and ranted your venom for religion. If you have a problem with religion, then you should have a huge issue with Obama&#039;s church problems as well as his pastor problems on top of his association problems (Frakhan &amp; William Ayers and others) Sure the wording about the states is more funny than serious, but when you get into his gaff about Memorial day, Iran, and other issues, you cannot present a compelling argument that he is qualified to be President. You want to rant about Bush&#039;s foreign policy, yet Obama will pull our troops out with disregard to the countries that will devour it as well as just a week ago, he said Iran did not pose a serious threat...a day later he says I know Iran has been a serious threat for a long time. As far as the flag pin is concerned, I really don&#039;t care, but Obama gives this big speech about it and how he love this country and that shouldn&#039;t be judged based on a pin, and what does he do the next week? He starts wearing a flag pin. So why would he do that if he, as a leader, truly believed what he said. He made it a bigger issue with that move, but to me it is so minimal compared to his other lack of experience and qualifications on top of his socialistic and liberal policies that will only hurt this country both domestically and internationally. Change we can believe in...yeah...from the good things that this country was founded upon to the things that have made European countries horrible. So, when you want to reply, how about do it with a level of intelligence and honesty about your own candidate rather than using sharp words to try and look wiser than you are.

I don&#039;t know what you were taught in school, but our country was not founded because the founding father&#039;s were sick of religion controlling the government. Ha! That is a good one...I am amazed at the ignorance. The Pilgrims fled to America to flee persecution from the government, because the government established its own church and religion, and demanded that everyone worship as they said, not as the people wished. Many of the founding father&#039;s were believers, you cannot read any of our founding documents (which is quite obvious you have not) and not see a reverence and respect for God, as well, you cannot view our original laws and not see the influence from the Bible in them. Somehow you got a skewed picture of our Countries history and maybe that is why you would be so willing to hand the Presidency over to a novice who can give a good speech from a teleprompter.</description>

Wordpress highlighted it on its Religion page; I would have thought they&#039;d put it on the Politics page. But please feel free to comment on the political issues as well.</description>

		<description>Hi

Since it is tagged with religion and not the politics; I would comment on its religious aspect only.

I think Paul was the seed of anti-Christ, as Paul gave teachings which were opposed to the teachings of  Jesus.

Obama is not against Jesus so he cannot be an anti-Christ.

Others could happily disagree with me but with good reasons.

Kindly visit my blogsite for any peaceful comments and or peaceful discussion on interesting posts/pages there. You are welcome for your differing opinion if you so like.

Thanks

I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim</description>

		<description>NCarnes,
you did not just go there did you?  Next time you want to insult me and only bring pathetic gaffs to the table as your defense, don&#039;t bother.

Yeah how old are you?  You look from the picture like you are young and fit?  Answer me this Mr. Patriotic, I support the flag...Are you in the military?  Are you over in Iraq following the Idiot in Chief&#039;s orders which are non-existant?

If you are in the military, then you can disregard the following, but as I am pretty certain you are not and just showing your intelligence through your ass and &quot;talking points&quot; you have been brainwashed to remember and spout without ever thinking about what you are saying, I would encourage you to &lt;a href=&quot;http://borealdreams.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/a-challenge-to-yellow-ribbon-flag-pin-republicans/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;take this test.&lt;/a&gt;  I doubt you will &quot;pass&quot; and you&#039;re nothing more than another chicken hawk like Bush, Cheney, Wolfowicz, etc., that never served a day in his life in combat, but will send 4100 brave american&#039;s to their death, plus allow tens of thousands be seriously injured for a vendetta against the man that threatened to kill his daddy.  Boo-hoo mother fucker,(Bush) get your ass over to Iraq and fight him like the man you claim to be!


&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;There is no wording that ever says, “Separation of Church and State” - It does say that   “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” -&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Now as to this stupidity you claim.  Are you completely stupid to think that if religion entered the government, all this that you quote would not disappear as &quot;all that religion&quot; that entered it would gain power and stop the rights of other religions to practice as they will because the government run by religion is not controlling them?  Or is that ok because you come from a religion (probably Christianity) that considers themself the only true believers in God, therefore it is justified to force upon all others, either through conversion or the sword, your beliefs?

Next time you open you mouth please think first.  Because as you have not thought first, and most likely your next stupid response will be something about needing to bomb Iran, it will only be obvious you haven&#039;t a clue about what you are arguing for.  The biggest issue we have with Iran is that they have allowed religion to infiltrate and take over their government and low &amp; behold, no one has rights anymore.  Wow rocket scientist, is that what you are looking for here with your brilliant deduction?

Wow, I can&#039;t imagine why it is that Iraq is such a fucking disaster either.  Could it be that to religious factions are fighting for control of the government, and because one &quot;controls&quot; it the other is hell bent on destroying the other?  Yes, religion works so well in government, please no one remind me of why the pilgrims left England again, nor why the Irish and the English fought for hundreds of years.  Nope, has nothing to do with religion in government and those &quot;stupid&quot; founding fathers never would have intended for religion to stay out of government because they were starting a new country with the basic fucking premise of getting away from a country where the government was run mainly by religion.

What do they teach kids in history anymore?  The world is 4000 years old and flag pins are more important than honor of honest thought!

ps, my age is in the &quot;quiz&quot; have a good day &quot;Yellow Ribbon&quot; worshiper


@SJS
sorry about this tirade, but I&#039;m not gonna let the brainwashed one here, act like he knows what he is talking about and insult me.

I did really like your post and rebuffs.  Apparently, NCarnes believed everything he read in the original chain letter he received.</description>

Because as you have not thought first, and most likely your next stupid response will be something about needing to bomb Iran, it will only be obvious you haven’t a clue about what you are arguing for.  The biggest issue we have with Iran is that they have allowed religion to infiltrate and take over their government and low &amp; behold, no one has rights anymore.  Wow rocket scientist, is that what you are looking for here with your brilliant deduction?</p>
<p>Wow, I can’t imagine why it is that Iraq is such a fucking disaster either.  Could it be that to religious factions are fighting for control of the government, and because one “controls” it the other is hell bent on destroying the other?  Yes, religion works so well in government, please no one remind me of why the pilgrims left England again, nor why the Irish and the English fought for hundreds of years.  Nope, has nothing to do with religion in government and those “stupid” founding fathers never would have intended for religion to stay out of government because they were starting a new country with the basic fucking premise of getting away from a country where the government was run mainly by religion.</p>
<p>What do they teach kids in history anymore?  The world is 4000 years old and flag pins are more important than honor of honest thought!</p>
<p>ps, my age is in the “quiz” have a good day “Yellow Ribbon” worshiper</p>
<p>@SJS<br />
sorry about this tirade, but I’m not gonna let the brainwashed one here, act like he knows what he is talking about and insult me.</p>
<p>I did really like your post and rebuffs.  Apparently, NCarnes believed everything he read in the original chain letter he received.</p>

		<description>yeah, ncarnes? i think your whole attack of obama&#039;s oration to the soldiers is a little, i dunno, desperate maybe? i mean really, aren&#039;t you just attacking his semantics?  so the guy misspoke. i don&#039;t have to think real hard to recall a time when a conservative said the wrong word. or, in certain cases, invented ones. it&#039;s cool, though. just have a potatoe and laugh about it.</description>

		<description>I would also like to say to Hans...
Being loyal to this country, logically and ethically, would include respecting our Flag, the standard for our country; our pledge to that flag, as well as our National Anthem.
I don&#039;t know how old you are, but I am not that old and I was taught that in school, then again they have become much more liberal in the most recent years. If you really need a list to validate this issue, you are pretty sad, I must say. I would say as well, anything that men have died for to preserve the foundations of this country. That&#039;s just common sense, but then again, when has any Liberal used that when making a decision?

Someone running for President cannot blatantly disregard these issues and be considered serious. Only people who are wrapped up into a flashy show are willing to give him a pass, as you obviously are doing.

Finally, it may do you some justice to read the Constitution. There is no wording that ever says, &quot;Separation of Church and State&quot; - It does say that &quot;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.&quot; -

This does not mean that religion has to be separated from Government, but that government cannot form a state religion or prevent anyone from worshiping the way they choose. So your assessment in your comment is inaccurate, wrong, and ignorant. Its no wonder you would be supporting a man that thinks there are 57 states, thinks that Memorial Day is representing &quot;Fallen Soldiers, for which he sees many of in the crowd he was speaking to.&quot; When it is in fact to honor fallen (dead) soldiers, so unless Obama can see dead people, it once again shows his ignorance of this country and his inability to lead it in any direction other than towards socialism, which is not American.

I could go on and on about Obama, as it seems I know more about him than you do, but I&#039;ll leave you with that.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with you, Samuel. I&#039;m sick of the accusations that to be patriotic or democratic or a free &quot;American&quot; you must follow the propaganda of the right wing. There&#039;s no freedom in that. It&#039;s time for a free thinker to be in charge. We&#039;ve had four years of rule by fear, run by oil interests, religious zealots, and wealthy corporations and their lobbyists. We&#039;ve lost civil rights, the economy is in the toilet, we are despised around the world, our national debt is ridiculous, and we depend on a man who can&#039;t even pronounce &quot;nuclear&quot; to to protect us from a nuclear conflict. I say it&#039;s time to get our heads out of the sand, quit trying to bully ever country around the world, and look at ways to bring peace and understanding, even if it means talking face to face with people you don&#039;t like. It&#039;s the only way. I say bring on the Obama years, and watch some new ideas reshape what democracy should be in this country. Government without religion, taxation that doesn&#039;t favor the select few, restoration of civil rights, energy policies that make sense for the future, foreign affairs that show understanding, diplomacy, and compromise for everyone&#039;s sake, fiscal policies that make sense for America, not just for big corporations, attention to our place in the global community and not an attempt to always be the world leader in everything, and a policy of reducing weapons around the world instead of arming everyone to the teeth out of fear of our neighbors. Change is the right word. And it&#039;s about time.</description>

		<description>*He supports &quot;Live&quot; birth abortions
**He supports Needle Exchange Stations where drug users can exchange their dirty needles for clean ones with no questions asked, to help prevent AIDS/HIV and other diseases.
***Reports today from someone who was a democrat in the 60&#039;s but woke up is reporting that just about everyone he used to consider a leftest, a Stalinist, a Marxist...socialist, etc. Are now in senior leadership positions on the Obama campaign.
****He says he will unite this country, red states and blues states, yet he is rated the #1 liberal in the U.S. Senate, where is his record of uniting Red states and Blue states? He has not supported one &quot;conservative&quot; bill that would benefit the people of this country, he may have voted with some republicans on some issues, but we all know every republican is not conservative...Anyway...

Great Post!</description>

		<description>Very well done!  Thank you!

Not much else to add, other than Laura&#039;s &quot;America is God&#039;s Country&quot; shows her further disconnect from reality.

The separation of church &amp; state, allows her to believe as she wishes, however if she mixes religion into the government, that right to believe as she wishes will be compromised &amp; taken away instantly.  But if she wants &quot;God&quot; to run this country, then screw &quot;democracy&quot; as it will no longer exist.

Oh Yeah and the other thing, as anyone defined &quot;THE CRITERIA FOR BEING LOYAL TO THE USA&quot; is?  I&#039;ve never seen a list, do they hand that out when one signs up by law at 18 for Selective Service?  Then again that does not cover women, so how would all US Citizens get this list?  I&#039;m gonna go google it now, see if I can find it :)</description>
