  • So true!

    And so sad that Ron Paul didn’t have the personality, or ability perhaps, to get the message out forcefully. Maybe Tom Coburn could do better, but let’s face it, too many Americans now demand a celebrity-like figure who is cool and “hip” to be their president. I guess we deserve our tragic fate.

  • Caption that photo!: Ron Paul

    CAPTION:

    ” I may not be your next president (because the citizens are too stupid to understand the truth) but I will wake people up and enlighten them a few thousand at a time — and that’s the most important task at this dangerous, crucial time.”

  • At least Dawkins mostly just tries to get his atheist views across through civil debate and well thought-out writings – the right way to do it – unlike some of the militant obnoxious atheists lately in the news.

    I love reasoned, civil debates on ANY subject.

  • Crazy Loon Pelosi!!

    Can’t wait until the Catholic Church makes an official response. Should be very interesting. LOL

  • If I were an atheist, I’d be ashamed of the hateful, rude, aggressive, obnoxious current campaign tactics of some high-profile atheists in the news.

    Isn’t is just as arrogant to say with certainty that there is no God, as it is arrogant to say with absolute certainty that there is a God? How the hell should any mere human know for sure one way or the other????

    If people want to believe in God, it does not affect me — well for the most part. Radical Islam sure hurts many people, for example.

  • Please, let’s get over this gay marriage thing! Here’s the easy, no-brainer solution:

    Let every citizen be able to choose ONE “civil union partner” of any sex. Yup – sorry bigamists and polygamists – only ONE, otherwise it would get “out-of-hand”. (No marrying animals either.) This civil union partnership would be recognized in all states and be equal in rights for all.

    Then, each partnership can choose to get “married” in the church of their choice, if they so desire. Let the gay churches marry the gays. Problem solved! (You’re welcome for my proposing the solution.)

  • Well, knock me over with a feather! Maybe I’ll watch CNN, or at least AC360, a little now! This is amazing. I hate to think it may be for just ratings though….

  • Obviously he (THEY!) is/are hiding SOMETHING, and it’s obviously not something good!

    We can only surmise what MIGHT be the reason……
    - bad grades or non-attendance with affirmative action allowing or covering for it??
    - somebody impersonating him and taking the classes in his name??
    - a thesis or 2 (probably many more) supporting anti-Americanism and/or communism??
    - bribery of high college officials to cover up the crime of awarding him a fraudulent degree??

    Why have no classmates come forward to talk about him, whether positively or negatively?? Who goes through college days without leaving some kind of trail of clubs, affiliations, friends, — and most of all — official records and transcripts?????? The answer is NO ONE except Obama. Oddly, though, he (oh, I’m sure!) wrote a couple of books about himself…….

    Strange, very strange…….who are his puppet masters???…….

  • finishing my previous post:

    She surely would say more. She did not have to. A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn’t sure. Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it. She didn’t know. The class really didn’t care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a land slide.

    Every time Barack Obama opens his mouth he offers ice cream, and fifty percent of America reacts like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other fifty percent know they’re going to have to feed the cow.”

  • Will you vote for the candidate who (figuratively) gives the voters free ice cream? What about the multitude of free government subsidies, grants, programs, welfare, etc.?

    This short story may be 4 years old, but it’s even more relevant for the upcoming 2012 presidential election.

    “The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

    To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

    The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia’s mother.

    The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Every one applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise. She said, “If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream.” She sat down. The class went wild. “Yes! Yes! We want ice cream.”

    She surely would say mo
