mmm like comparing Bush to a Monkey, T shirts depicting him hanging.. seems you libs like dishing it out, just don't like taking it..nothing new you are cowards at t heart of it all

@ David C

".. seems you libs like dishing it out, just don't like taking it..nothing new you are cowards at t heart of it all"

Bring it on, dude! Spanking hateful Republican liars is like morning calisthenics.

Right on Greg! Obama is the closest thing to a communist that, hopefully, any of us will ever see again. He is a complete fake and driven totally by his ego and his goal to have the minority support the majority. ( the average welfare recipient receives over $32,000 per year just to hang out). He and his band of gypsies are going to collapse.....hopefully sooner than later for the good of America and all we, the uncorrupted, stand for!

Wow. More deranged Republicans afflicted with Obama Derangement Syndrome. Sad. Greg, Tom, either of you have any facts to back up the drama? Lets see some links to reputable sources.

That sentence doesn't make sense, and he has absolutely nothing to apologize for.

@ Lee

Exactly. Phoney issues keep the drama up, and keep the GOP stormtroopers glued to FAUX "News" for the next moral outrage. On some level they know it's all hype - but they don't care. They need to belong.

@ David

As usual, an empty, throw-away comment. Go ahead and criticize him - with factual information.

Nope. but what does that have to do with anything? Women have a choice , it's called abstinence or pay for your OWN birth control. Real empowerment ...Wow what a concept.

Once again, birth control is about more than preventing pregnancy. I'm waiting for one single Republican to ignore that fact and tell me why preventing endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts and preventing the cost (monetary, social, and more) of pregnancy is not a good idea.

It saves money, it saves lives, and it's good for women.

What this is really about is some Republican agenda telling you how to feel, because this has been going on for quite a long time, and it's only now that we have a bunch of crybaby right-wingers whining about it. I don't see anyone complaining about any men's health items.

@ FTP

"It saves money, it saves lives, and it's good for women."

They don't care. The conservative media echo chamber has turned the volume way up on this issue, and they're drooling like Pavlov's dogs. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.

Abstinence David Campbell, really. What an argument, do women even talk to you. Most likely you only have a big mouth on the internet.

Because many people believe, myself included, that you own your own body and you get to choose when you become pregnant. Carrying a child and delivering it comes with great risk, up to and including death, complications that could be permanent, and damage to the body. For a lot of people, it's totally worth it, and they want to have a child, but that's why a father doesn't have a say. It's not his body on the line.

Spoken like a man who has never loved a woman, or had one love him. Ever.
And one who never - ever - ever reads anything that might open his mind...

Jan..spoken like a woman who expects people to believe the tripe you just wrote

@ Brian

MANY AMERICAN WOMEN USE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR NONCONTRACEPTIVE REASONS
One-Third of Teen Users Rely on the Pill Exclusively for These Purposes

The most common reason U.S. women use oral contraceptive pills is to prevent pregnancy, but 14% of pill users—1.5 million women—rely on them exclusively for noncontraceptive purposes. The study documenting this finding, “Beyond Birth Control: The Overlooked Benefits of Oral Contraceptive Pills,” by Rachel K. Jones of the Guttmacher Institute, also found that more than half (58%) of all pill users rely on the method, at least in part, for purposes other than pregnancy prevention—meaning that only 42% use the pill exclusively for contraceptive reasons.
http://www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2011/11/15/index.html

And... women also get to choose whether or not they want to have sex. Also something you don't have a say in.

Yet they do make laws..Earth day is not only condoned by the government it is funded, earth day has it's roots in paganism and most of the language still refers to paganism. Your problem is not the government supporting,funding or bowing to "religion" Your problem is you only want them to support the religions of socialism, humanism and atheism.. nothing new

oh and lets not forget the forced teaching of your favorite fairy tale religion..evolution.. still waiting for proof..oh that is right, there is none,

Good question.. but then why isn't it? It is a religion and as such has no place being preached in public schools as either science or fact..just saying

You are speaking to a group of people that wallow in perversion, calling evil good and good evil.. do you really expect them to be reasonable, to exercise common sense, to use their brains? They run on feel good emotion just like children.

Please explain to me how contraception is murdering children.

@ David C

Want to answer FTP's question, David? It's pretty straightforward...

@ Angela
"I have yet to see a "prolifer" give a damn about a baby once it evacuates the uterus."

Exactly. In the womb - it's a divine gift; In the world - it's a taxpayer burden.

It's a waste of time to talk to you rightwing nuts.

Don't bother, Fritz...

There is always this explanation. Folks that don't understand the world around them resort to fear. It's easy to hate other people, it's easy to blame other people or god than admitting you don't know the answer to a question, loving people you've never met and don't understand, and accepting folks that live different lives.

I already answered this. I have responded multiple times, and you have not been able to reply with anything close to a response besides repeating your own question.

Is rude just easier for you David? Is ignorant?

http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/15/pastor-wife-accused-of-killing-possessed-children/?iref=obnetwork

Religious people going crazy.

What's the objection, specifically, with that video? Please include quotes of what you found offensive and why.

"openly called all women on birth control sluts and prostitutes"

False. He was talking about a specific person. He then apologized. No sign so far of Bill Maher to apologize for calling Ann Coulter a c#^t and calling Sarah Palin a "dumb t**t".

Actually, it's true. He made a generalization about all women using her as the most recent example.

Sorry JS,

Ann and Sarah, are first women, mothers, sisters and wives which are entitled to the respect they deserve. Limbaugh, Maher, Ed Schultz, Oberlmann and the rest of the socalled journalists/comedians/entertainers that ever used derogatory terms in reference to any women from their respective position of public commetary and opinion are poor excuses for a man. They hide behind their microphones and launch their vile comments--- without fear of repercussions. Wonder what would happen to Rush, Bill, Keith or Ed if they made those comments about the wife, sister or girlfriend of a man in one of our local establishments?? Its not a question of Left or Right, its a question of whats right and respectful and as a woman, I'm sure you agree.

Absolutely, to attack a woman who has done nothing but try to stand up for her rights as a woman??? He repeated over and over and over - rude and demeaning verbiage - for one act, for her simply trying to speak about contraceptives - once...

Limbaugh was not just wrong, he was vile. It's not a question of using a questionable word once or twice - it was an all-out assault on a plain ordinary citizen.

And you should address this issue now, instead of launching a counter attack to diminish the behavior as wrong, wrong, wrong....

He attacked your wife, your daughter, your mother, your sister - this wasn't just "I disagree with her politics" - he attacked all American women. Stand with us Hill - and tell Clear Channel he needs to go.

JS,

They all need to go. There is no justifying or spinning as to how long or to what degree - thats 3rd grade-"He said or did it worser than me". I wouldn't give 2 cents for any of those guys who at one time attacked all women regardless of politics--

@ "Patriot"

Nice to see you're on Limbaugh's side.

First of all, nobody ever said she was "naive". She's a very smart, articulate, educated woman. I don't know much about her personal life. I don't care. It's irrelevant. Secondly, I have no idea what you're talking about as far as "...the person that was scheduled to speak had been vetted as outlined by the rules of the house. He was dropped and she was put in place." Not that it would make one bit of difference regarding Limbaugh's commentary, anyway, but you might have included a link.

Third, she testified on behalf of a friend who had been denied contraceptives intended to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome - and lost an ovary as a result. 14% of women take contraceptives for issues totally unrelated to birth control http://www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2011/11/15/index.html

Forth, Rush said far more than the now-infamous "two words": She's having so much sex she can't walk straight." "Can you imagine if you’re her parents, how proud of Sandra Fluke you would be?" "...she’s having so much sex she can’t afford her own birth control pills..." "We want you to post (her sex) videos online so we can all watch".

Finally, this guy hates women. One can understand how he's got 3 failed marriages behind him. He's a bully, and you support him. You don't have much company. His favorability rating is a whopping 19% http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-4872622-503544.html

@ "Patriot"

"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said, "but it’s still a pig."

What??? So??? President Obama said this. I don't even remember in what context. What's your point? How is it related to Limbaugh's vicious misogyny and bullying?

@ "Patriot"

"But hey the President still blames everything on Former Presidents."

No, actually, he doesn't. Facts are facts, though. Bush left this man a disaster to clean up.

I'm at least glad you admit you take the quotes out of context [In comparision
to many from the far right, that is progress]. I agree. If the far right did not take
statements out of context [or lie, or distort] your material would be very limited!
What statement from President Obama are you refering to? If he said he inherited the greatest recession since the great depression from former President Bush, he
was correct in doing so!

BTW Try not to rush the those years so much. They're precious!!!!!

I love Bill Maher. No doubt what he said was nasty - and the fact that he said it about a VERY nasty, narcissistic politician / reality tv star / highly paid FOX pundit / author who bathes in the public spotlight doesn't matter - it's still nasty.

It is different, though. Sandra Fluke was merely a citizen testifying before Congress (I don't give a tinker's damn what her politics are, or what activism she engages in - it's her business). She doesn't have a platform to respond the way Simple Sarah does. In addition, Maher's show is on HBO to paying subscribers who want the programming. It doesn't go out over the airwaves to anybody with a radio. But yes, still nasty.

Well, then keep you wife, mother and daughters at home... if this is the new normal they are targets of men who use them as a launching point for corporate-paid hate speech.

@ David C

It really is true; politics IS personality. Want to defend Rush? Join these clowns: http://defendrush.org/

Nothing but hate speech and one-liners, David. This is no different than any other Republican that feeds off of fear and loathing. You are just one more.

@ FTP

Exactly. David C doesn't care about the FACTS. If he did, he wouldn't be repeating the same lies over and over. As we have gone over several times, Sandra Fluke testified before Congress in support of contraceptive coverage being included in health insurance policies (nothing to do with taxpayers, Rush). Her friend lost an ovary after being denied the pill for polycystic ovary syndrome. That's what it was all about.

The truth is, only 42% of women use contraceptives EXCLUSIVELY for birth control.
http://www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2011/11/15/index.html

Republicans don't want to hear these facts.

Glenn Beck
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJpPktn4f0M

I like how he spells "cash for clukers." But anyway, imagine getting a dose of Glenn Beck's chalkboard 5 days a week, washed down with a side of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, any of those right-wing propaganda pushers… People that are gravitating towards discrimination and bigotry don't really have a chance of finding their way out of it. They prey upon people like this. Infotainment with very real consequences.

Good article. I'm not a fan of the guy. Aside from the hate, what is most irksome to me is the deceit. I really can tolerate conservative viewpoints - when they are based on fact. This bastard lies with wild abandon (and I wonder how many of his listeners know that - or care). He makes crap up - and he's certainly allowed to do that, because it's a SHOW. It's an infotainment program. There are no fact checkers. No umpires. The poor dopes listening to him believe they are being informed. They're not conscious of the fact that whatever they "learn" from listening is entirely up to Rush. I'd be willing to bet very few of his listeners ever try to verify his facts from other sources. Why would they? Rush tells them exactly what they want to hear. Politics IS personality. Rush is a jerk. So are his listeners.

This is what Republicans want:

--In Mississippi only 12% of GOP voters think Obama’s a Christian to 52% who think he’s a Muslim and 36% who are not sure. In Alabama just 14% think Obama’s a Christian to 45% who think he’s a Muslim and 41% who aren’t sure.

---Alabama’s pretty much on board with interracial marriage, with 67% of voters thinking it should be legal to 21% who think it should not be. There’s still some skepticism in Mississippi though- only 54% of voters think it should be legal, while 29% believe it should be illegal. Newt cleans up with the ‘interracial marriage should be illegal’ crowd in both states. He’s up 40-27 on Romney with them in Mississippi and 37-28 with them in Alabama.TT

---There’s considerable skepticism about evolution among GOP voters in both Alabama and Mississippi. In Alabama only 26% of voters believe in it, while 60% do not. In Mississippi just 22% believe in it, while 66% do not. Romney wins the ‘voters who believe in evolution’ vote (33-27 over Gingrich in Alabama, 38-32 over Gingrich in Mississippi.) Santorum wins the ‘voters who don’t believe in evolution’ vote (34-33 over Gingrich in both Alabama and Mississippi with Romney at 26%)

Here is a source for Edwards comments:
"More than half of Mississippi GOP voters say Obama is a Muslim, new poll suggests"
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/poll-more-half-mississippi-voters-obama-muslim-192027518.html

Do you have a source for your comments, Hardy?

Look, I have been saying for months now that the Republican conservative population is full of bigots and ignorant haters. I fail to see how you are countering this point. With every day that goes by, there is more and more evidence. Please prove me wrong.

Here's another article about low IQ and Republicans to complement the above:
http://news.yahoo.com/low-iq-conservative-beliefs-linked-prejudice-180403506.html

@ David C

"Mmm I think you have me confused with liberals..Like Ms Fluke for example, Obama.. etc.. lies, hate and bullying when confronted with truth..pretty much the only t hing libs can do..face if If I did not speak the truth you wouldn't be so pissed..nothing new"

I don't have you confused with anyone. Seen enough of your posts to fully understand facts are meaningless to you. And I'm not pissed - I just won't have my President, and my fellow Americans, LIED ABOUT by you. Criticism is fine - essential even - but back up what you say. Don't come here and talk $#!T.

I don't discriminate based on religion. It's the people who practice bigotry in the name of religion that I have a problem with. Doesn't matter what religion it is. Most of the current events lately have been about Christians in our own country forcing their religion on everyone else, thus my comments. I actually know some very nice Christians, they just don't shove christianity in everyone's face or pretend it's the law of the nation.

Why all the anger? Life isn't that bad. Lighten up. I won't repeat myself.

The Bill of Rights allows people to preach hate (or love or indifference) in their housesof worshuip or on the street. The difference is that Christians try to make their brand of bigotry into law.
Any state legislatures in this country passing laws that force everyone to adopt Islamic principles?

This is true. Any bigotry in the name of religion, no matter which one it is, needs to be rejected.

Even God recognizes how outrageous and misanthropic is His first best seller, especially Paul's outrageous writings that condemn so many. The Bible tells us that its every word was inspired by God, Himself (2 Timothy 32:16). God knew Paul's ridiculous rantings (which He inspired) would make no sense, so He actually went to great pains to warn us that those who try to understand Paul's logic do so 'unto their own destruction' (2 Peter 3:16). God also knew that people would start to 'interpret' the Bible into something that wasn't so hateful and violent if given the chance, so He had John write near the end that anyone who adds or withdraws a single statement from the Bible (or at least its last book) will be destroyed (Revelation 22:18-19). Needless to say, God shuns philosophers and free thinkers, describing them as essentially evil (Colossians 2:8-9).

The bottom line is that, in order to have any real shot at Heaven, we must believe every word of the Bible and all its incredible pronouncements. The only way a rational person can believe such jibberish is to accept it by faith, without question. We must turn off our brains. Fortunately for many of the participants here, they were born with very little brain power in the first instance, hence blind deference isn't difficult for them.

"Remember that an open mind is the devil's favorite toy."

What a great line. I'll have to remember that. :)

Just because your religion can not stand on it's own merits is no reason to try to deflect the issue by attacking another religion. People like you are the reason Americans are so hated around the world. You are the ones bringing death and destruction to this country.

Was Jesus Christ a Liberal Socialist?
If by “liberal socialist” one refers to a person who seeks to serve his fellow man with compassion and charity, and who spends his life voluntarily clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, liberating the captive, educating the ignorant, and caring for the sick and afflicted, then yes, Jesus Christ was a liberal socialist and we should all strive to be liberal socialists.
If being a liberal socialist means striving to attain just and equitable society, a society where there are no rich or poor, where all men are treated equally, then Jesus Christ was a liberal socialist.
If liberal socialism means to give of our talents and substance to serve and uplift others, then Jesus Christ was a liberal socialist.
Matthew 25:34-46
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

In any case, all these figures are widely suspected to be grossly underestimated. For example, the late Fr. Tom Economus, former President of the Linkup, a national survivors' advocacy group, said back in the mid-90s that he knew of "1,400 insurance claims on the books and that the Church has paid out over $1 billion in liability with an estimated $500 million pending." (Emphasis added.)

He also said that over 800 priests had been removed from ministry and that there might be as many as 5,000 with allegations against them, which is not that far off. He often claimed that by far the most calls he received from all victims of any kind of clergy abuse were those from males who suffered abuse in their youth in the Catholic Church. Certainly the numbers, which show that the highest number of victims were 12 year old boys and that 80% of the abuse was homosexual in nature, validate that anecodotal evidence, too. In fact, while the numbers of young children and girls did not vary much, the report shows an astounding six-fold increase in the abuse of boys aged 11-17 between the 1950s and 70s. And the figures for males stayed high through the 1980s.

Who needs to apologize to who? The catholic church should be down on their knees begging for forgiveness not preaching about contraception.

@ J

"Still, no one can tell me why the libs are so afraid to condemn the hate, bigotry, child abuse, women abuse institutionalized by Islam."

If radical Islam was in charge of one of our two political parties, you surely would hear more condemnation. But it's radical Christians that have infiltrated the GOP. We have our own Taliban right here to worry about.

I could go on, and on, and on. It's not "Islam" pushing this garbage on us!

JCarn: When there's a push in Congress or the state legislature to impose Muslim values on all of us, then I'll be front and center in opposition. When Joe Lieberman becomes President and tries to make eating pork and shellfish illegal, I'll be front and center in opposition. And when the government tries to make us all follow Christian rules, I am front and center.

Bill, the subject is actually making Christianity the Law. A subject you dont seem to want to address. "Oh," he said, clutching his pearls and heading for the fainting couch, "those other religions are oh so much worse than this one." BUT THOSE OTHER RELIGIONS DONT HAVE SPONSORS IN GOVERNMENT TRYING TO MAKE THEM INTO THE LAW.

"Hypocrisy," Bill, would be if us "liberal apologists" didn't get upset if the 13th Century Congress tried to force some other religion upon us. But so far, its only Christianity.
Ya see, Bill, the problem isn't with Christianity, its with the government forcing me to practice it through legislation. I dont really give a darn what brand of 13th century wisdom Rick Santorum wants to dole out from the pulpit on Sunday mornings. But when he wants to make it the law, I do give a darn.

Yes, let's be specific. The problem is with the Christian right-wing imposing their beliefs. At one side of their mouth they claim all holiness, and on the other it's nothing but oppression and hatred. It's not Christianity itself, for that is only an idea, it's the people practicing it on the right-wing using it to further their agenda.

This is not a new concept. It's been done for years. Look at the Crusades. How about the witch trials? How about the plague? How about the Inquisition? How about women's suffrage? How about civil rights? How about the world being flat? How about homophobia in New Hampshire? The Christian right-wing has been late to the party every single time. That's my complaint.

As it relates to Islam, I don't see where it fits in this conversation. You are just deflecting the blame. That's not an endorsement of any religion, it's a condemnation of right-wing crazies in this country who abuse citizens over and over again for centuries. I'm calling you out. I'm calling you and your entire band of conservative Christian right-wing bigots out on the floor to answer for your behavior. It's your time to answer.

All I hear is crickets.

Bill,
Of course, David and Edward adressed the question quite directly and very clearly.
Perhaps try reading those replies next time.

@ LJoel

"...David and Edward adressed the question quite directly and very clearly.
Perhaps try reading those replies next time."

They don't read replies. Against their religion, maybe?

Why should they (by "they" I'm referring to most - maybe not quite all - of the Republican supporters on these comment boards) waste precious time on a reply to a ridiculous post of theirs when they can just run off and drop a fresh post of nonsense someplace else? It happens over and over again.

@ J (again)

"You want to equate Christian conservative's pushing for a ban on teaching homosexuality in the public schools to the institutionalized bigotry and hate that is Islam."

What if we don't care for Christianity OR Islam?

As I've already posted, it's wacko CHRISTIANS that have taken over the GOP, NOT Islam. There are hundreds of stupid religions around the world. Personally, I don't have time to worry about them all. I'm concerned with the one that has infiltrated Washington D.C.

"Dominionism has become a major influence on the right-wing populist Tea Parties as Christian Right activists have flooded into the movement at the grassroots. At the same time, legitimate questions have been raised about whether or not potential Republican presidential nominees Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, or Sarah Palin have moved from a generic form of Christian Right Dominionism toward the more totalitarian form know as Dominion Theology."

http://www.alternet.org/story/152271/inside_the_christian_right_dominionist_movement_that%27s_undermining_democracy_/

Please read this post several times. Hopefully it will sink in, and we won't be embarrassed by you posting YET AGAIN "Why don't those hypocrite libs treat Islam the way the do Christianity"?

It's easy to bash lunacy.

As soon as they start taking over the US government and pushing their bull$h!t on us, you'll hear from the liberals. Right now, the Christian fundies are running wild.

@ Shill

You don't really expect a cogent answer from him, do you?

Tonto 1
O.M.G. Tonto. You have now joined the birther's and have become totally derailed.
Number 1 Even your own video poster admitted the video was contrived!
Number 2 Even under the gigantic assumption that President Obama's father
was not a natural born citizen, the nut in the video's claim that both parents
must be natural born citizens to become president is also a colossal bald
faced lie!!! Read below and wallow in shame.

Tonto 2
Article II of the Constitution states: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption lunecy of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

But it leaves “natural born citizen” open to interpretation and most have interpreted this as natural law - that you inherit your citizenship from your parents.

It also doesn’t address whether one or both parents must be U.S. citizens for their children to be citizens, but most interpretations say one is enough.

"Most scholars, including me, believe that natural born citizenship extends further, to all of those who obtain citizenship at birth by law," writes Gabriel "Jack" Chin in a CNN.com opinion piece. "If this argument is right, then even if Obama had been born overseas, he is still a natural born citizen, because he obtained citizenship at birth through his mother who unquestionably was a U.S. citizen."

"CNN debunk the birther claim"

LJH - Nobama and you people should find an Occupoo poo rally and take your birth control pills together - http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/03/15/New%20Article I think all liberals should get plenty of birth control for FREE :)

Ed, this Romney dude makes sense - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/mitt-romney-planned-parenthood_n_1343450.html?ref=mostpopular did you take your pills this morning?

Plenty of great links here - http://birthers.org/# - look I know you have been lost since the DNC called off the Occupoo diversion and the pill diversion isn't working, so, I thought I would give you a new (old?) crusade to defend the fake birth certificate :)

Any diversion but Obama the failure, Occupoo Occupee, rubbers and pills oh my oh me, evil religions. How about 15 trillion debt and rising, bankrupting cities counties and states all over the country, fake birth certificate, supplying guns to Mexican drug cartels, GAS AT $5 A GALLON ????

@ Tonto

Can you please post another link you haven't read or don't understand that you'll remove later - especially one that shows the hateful, ignorant GOP voters for what they are? That Huffington one was a HOOT!

@ Shill

"It really is no better than Hogwarts"

Ha ha!! Nice.

Now you're just lying. Or being intentionlly obtuse. Or your TV only gets the Hannity Crayon Hour.
No one is "pushing anyone provide birth control pills." Its about insurance. If the O'Brien-Bettencourt Women Are 2nd Class Citizens Act becomes law, then Muslim employers will have the same right to deny coverage as Christian employers. But the ONLY people clamoring for this are the Christians. I haven't seen a single Jewish or Muslim representative testify in support of this.

So who wants to bet that Jcarn subsists almost entirely on the largesse of the government he likes to insult, yet votes for Republicans who want to take away his benefits.

I am all for liberals and communists, aka socialists, getting all the birth control they can suck down and stop breeding. the nation will be far better off :)

Occupo,Occupee,fake birth certificate, communist, socialist, "stop breeding" ect. ect,ect.Doubling down on your five year old tirade again are you??????????

You didn't say anything about insurance.

You have admitted that you're nothing nmore than a troll.

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.

Muslims aren't trying to make their religions the law of the land. When they do I will criticize them for that. When Jews try to make their religion the law of the land I will criticize them for that.

YOU are quite gullible. What you copied and pasted is an internet myth circulating for at least the last 8 years.

1. The speech does not end with "So help us God." It ends by askign Congress to declare War.
And the sentence quoted on the Memorial was 3 or 4 paragraphs before he said "So help us God." Nothing was "changed."

Sad. In the future, to avoid revealing your propensity to believe absolutely anything, do as Edward suggests, and at least check with snopes. Unless, of course, you don't CARE if it's factual or not, and are essentially a dishonest person with no shame who enjoys spreading bull$h!t. In that case, you're doing fine.

JCarn is your hero? Oh dear. Wait...is this a goof and I just fell for it?

I have watched the speech. I have listened to the speech. I have read the transcript of the speech. I have looked at the inscription at the memorial. Yes, the speech did END with "So help me God." But the quote on the Memorial is one sentence from a DIFFERENT part of the speech.

All you have done is to pass along a chain email from 2004. I'll bet you're probably still waiting for that Nigerian prince to send you the $555 million he promised if only you wired $5000 to him.

Centrist is a good way to describe Obama. There's no point in playing with these trolls. A typical conversation goes something like,

"*Inflammatory remark with no factual basis followed by play on words of Obama's name, socialism, or something ridiculous about liberals*"- patch conservatives

"*Retort including facts and figures, probing questions and critical thought*"- patch progressives

Rinse and repeat. It's like you always have to chase them down with facts because they just say whatever they want without regard to the truth. They honestly enjoy acting out and spewing hatred.

It's a waste of time. I really wish we could get a conservative with half a brain on this board so we could actually have a discussion instead of fact-checking.

FTP is right. They don't stick around to discuss their posts. Why do that? It's obviously far more satisfying to them to make a new post of fact-free slop someplace else, pretending the last post never happened.

You really do have to pick and choose - there aren't enough hours in a day to respond to the dozens of hastily slapped up lies, insinuations and goofy internet rumors they've littered these boards with. I think it's worthwhile, though. Otherwise people may check out the comments and think there are no sane people in the community, and may get discouraged fearing that President Obama faces an electorate composed entirely of miscreants.

You say "I don't know nor do I give a rip about the politics of someone who lived 2000 years ago." That is not just someone that is your Lord and Saviour you don't care about the teachings of Jesus Christ? Yes I guess showing you are not following the example of Jesus is the best I can do. If you don't care about the lessions of Christ why are you posting here? The reason we are criticizing the first century thinking of Christianty and not Islam is because the question was "Should Obama Apologize to NH Catholics? " the real question is why do you keep trying to change the subject?

@ Sprite

You're taking after your hero.

"...conservatives don't want public schools teaching homosexual marriages"
Huh?

"...Muslims are a minority in this country and not worthy of their indignation..."
They are a minority, and they're not the ones screwing up our government and schools. But if you want to rant and rave about Muslims, go for it. Everyone needs a hobby.

"Never once heard Obama challenging the beliefs of Muslims yet he is ready and willing to characterize conservative Christians as ignorant (like referring to them as like founders of the flat earth society)."
When did he do that? Links please.

"Let me her Obama get in front of a microphone and tell American Muslims that we are not going to tolerate their attempt to bring barbaric Sharia law to the USA."
You won't hear Obama do that. Because the preposterous idea that Muslims are attempting to bring Sharia law to America was cooked by loons.

If you are worried about Sharia law you should read the most evil and depraved book ever written you can find it at you local book store is called The Holy Bible. If you read what is in there it will make Sharia law look tame.

Obama is a communist. Plain and simple. You know it all America haters would not open the pages of links showing Obama is a communist with no birth certificate. I could fill this patch for days with it and you know it. But what has the truth to do with anything for the party of pathological liars and USA haters? The Catholics have spanked your messiah really hard and they are going to continue the punishment. There is nothing you can do impotent ones :)

@ Tonto

"Obama is a communist. Plain and simple."
BS! No links because you can't support that crap in a million years. More lies. Keep em coming.

"You know it all America haters"
Ha ha ha. That crusty old tactic, huh?

"would not open the pages of links showing Obama is a communist with no birth certificate."
I'll open them. Laughter is good for the soul.

"The Catholics have spanked your messiah really hard and they are going to continue the punishment."
Ha ha ha. "messiah" huh? Ok. How are Catholics "spanking" the President?

"There is nothing you can do impotent ones :)"
We can give Barack Obama a second term. Just sent a donation yesterday.

@ Sprite
President Obama's quote was “if some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail, they probably must have been founding members of the flat earth society. They would not believe that the world was round!” Yes, I heard it. However, you said "...he is ready and willing to characterize conservative Christians as ignorant". THAT is what I want you to explain. (and you can't, because he never did "characterize conservative Christians as ignorant". He was taking shots at the GOP primary hopefuls with that quote). Stop making stuff up.

And as for the number of hits on Google you'll find about Sharia law...what's your point? Google "weight loss pill" or "penis enlargement" and see how many hits you get. It means nothing.

Unless you can give me solid information, with links, that "Sharia law" is creeping into our government, I don't want to hear it - because it's just more BS from Glen Beck's chalkboard.

Now, explain "...conservatives don't want public schools teaching homosexual marriages" WTF?

This train load of right wing wack jobs are growing even more derailed as we scroll down this page. Sprite never read a word of Obama's. speech. His speech was about the failed republicans energy policy and had nothing to do with religon!!!!!!
[ What a source for an "expert' testemonial- Newt Gingrich!!!! LOL]
Unfortunately "Sprite" [ like most of his[her] far right wack job colleges] live in bubble with no contact with the real world, or he[she] would know that one could also google and find "millons" of creditable sources easily debunking those "Sharia" lines of B.S

[. I know. I know. Another republican so facts be damned. I get it it. ]

The key in your post ( the one you are apparently top blind to see) is there is indeed a separation between Jewish law and the ten commandants. You are correct about the amount of laws, The thing is..are you an Israelite?. No..and neither is the modern Jew. If you had any understanding of scripture you would understand why those laws were put into place. You would acknowledge that, they were placed there in preparation of the coming Christ, thus you would understand why most of them are ritualistic in nature and have no modern validity to the believer in Christ, be they Jew or Gentile

The only Americans that are concerned with Islam are dingbats who consume FAUX News infotainment programs. They tend to be the same ones who believe there is a "war on Christmas". Turn off the TV.

I don't see any muslims spewing hate and bigotry on here only so called Christians. If your religious view can't hold up to the facts that I have posted here that is not my fault. You call yourselves Christians but in the end you are not Christian. . Just calling yourself a Christian does not make you a Christian following the teachings and living your life as Christ would makes you a Christian and you do not fit that description. Those who are Christians in name only will try to blend in with other Christians (at least when it is convenient or advantageous for them to do so). They will make the claim to be Christians, though we know that it is possible to claim the proper name, but in reality be dead (Revelation 3:1).

These individuals may assemble with the church, even keep their Christian friends. But their devotion to God is superficial and shallow. Those who attempt to be Christians in name only have missed the point about what it means to be a Christian. The term Christian is more than a name, it is also a description of the one who wears it. The term means Christ-like and should describe everyone who wears the name. So-called Christians totally abandoned the most fundamental teaching of Jesus: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. A teaching so simple, yet, so profound. Every time you criticize someone on here you are criticizing Jesus him self you are telling your god what a horrible Christian you really are.
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” Matthew 25:41-46

@ J

The Blaze is a hive of total right wing crazies, and about as reliable as a supermarket tabloid. Don't rely on it for accurate information. In fact, if you REALLY wanted to be informed (as opposed to infromed http://img.myconfinedspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/thank-you-fox-news-for-keeping-us-informed-500x332.jpg), try checking legit outlets.

Anyway, as usual, your post is all about drama, very little truth to it. http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/fdrprayer.asp Go about halfway down the page for the facts about President Obama's (non)involvement, and the Bureau of Land Management's statement.

I can't say it enough. If your sources are right wing hack sites, viral email, talk radio infotainment and GOPTV (aka FOX NEWS), you're going to stay ignorant. Break out of the bubble.

.......and when you check the news anywhere on the planet in any language what do you see. Muslims murdering, butchering, blowing up people, death, and destruction. Nothing good. Nothing but death, destruction.

They were explicitly Christian terrorist in ideology, basing their beliefs on a "religious foundation" in Christianity. The goals of the KKK included, from an early time on, an intent to "reestablish Protestant Christian values in America by any means possible," and believe that "Jesus was the first Klansman." Their cross-burnings were conducted not only to intimidate targets, but to demonstrate their respect and reverence for Jesus Christ, and the lighting ritual was steeped in Christian symbolism, including the saying of prayers and singing of Christian hymns. Many modern Klan organizations, such as the Knights Party, USA, continue to focus on the Christian supremacist message, asserting that there is a "war" on to destroy "western Christian civilization."

During the twentieth century, members of extremist groups such as the Army of God began executing attacks against abortion clinics and doctors across the United States.A number of terrorist attacks were attributed to individuals and groups with ties to the Christian Identity and Christian Patriot movements, including the Lambs of Christ. A group called Concerned Christians were deported from Israel on suspicion of planning to attack holy sites in Jerusalem at the end of 1999, believing that their deaths would "lead them to heaven." The motive for anti-abortionist Scott Roeder murdering Wichita doctor George Tiller on May 31, 2009 was a belief that abortion is criminal and immoral, and that this belief went "hand in hand" with his religious beliefs.[70][71] The Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996, as well as subsequent attacks on an abortion clinic and a lesbian nightclub, were made by Eric Robert Rudolph; Michael Barkun, a professor at Syracuse University, considers Rudolph to likely fit the definition of a Christian terrorist, whereas James A. Aho, a professor at Idaho State University, argues instead that Rudolph was inspired only in part by religious considerations.

Hutaree was a Christian militia group based in Adrian, Michigan. In 2010, after an FBI agent infiltrated the group, nine of its members were indicted by a federal grand jury in Detroit on charges of seditious conspiracy to use of improvised explosive devices, teaching the use of explosive materials, and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence. Terrorism scholar Aref M. Al-Khattar has listed The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, Defensive Action, The Freemen Community, and some "Christian militia" as groups that "can be placed under the category of far-right-wing terrorism" that "has a religious (Christian) component".

and don't forget about Adolf Hitler he was a Christian too and used the bible to justify the Holocaust with the blessing of the Vatican.

Like they say......just another slutty loose woman only worried about having sex. Controls here whole life, job, everything. Obviously a fake too :)

Don't forget some of Christ's best frends were slutty loose woman. I guess your just better then Jesus.

Hey Shillster, i'm glad your mama didn't take dem pills :)

Will they bring Apple back?

You're right, Shill. Rethugs think sending jobs to Communist China is patriotic.

H.H.H.H. So take the class again. You might do better the next time.

Wow, you are both correct on a few pounts but for all the same wrong " heart on the sleeve"liberal reasons.. which of course makes you just as bad as the conservative Christians you attempt to vilefy

Two words.. BS. It is amazing you expect thinking people to believe you nonsical ramblings.. but then again i guess not considering the sheeple that are in the world today

@ David C

The Shill says: "Those who turn thier backs on the poor and suffering are NOT followers of jesus Christ."

David C says: "BS"

Says it all.

Like Viagra?

Get a signed and authorized letter from your wife that you can't perform... then have all the appropriate tests... I think you should have to watch something too - then have to wait 24 hours. Then be told forced-government-issued lies by your doctor. And we'll need to hold meetings of all-women panels to discuss the "need" vs "want"...

after all men can't make these decisions, they just aren't capable.

mmm I bet you had no probs with portraying Bush as as a monkey or all those Kill Bush T shirts or the burning of him in effigy though did ya..nah didn't think so.

I didn't do either of those things.

Is that so? Obama has called for civility, but no he does not give personal phone calls for every event. The reason why this even gets as much play as it does is because the very folks wanting him to return the money are solely interested in him losing the presidency, they're not really that offended that he has the money. If that was the case, any donations from Rush Limbaugh and the free media from Fox news should also be immediately stopped. But that's not happening, right?

Listen, we all know you are disingenuous, we all know your entire party is insincere, but let's not pretend that Obama somehow enjoys inappropriate comments about women. How about saving a little bit of that outrage for your own party? I thought not.

@ David C

There's a big difference (and you know it). Bristol is a reality TV actress who makes extra cash on the side telling teens to not do what she did. Sandra Fluke is a college student who appeared by request before Congress to testify on health insurance.

Many buffoons like yourself voted for Obama simply because he was black! To say George Bush wasn't qualified to lead a country is nonsense. Obama the Inheritor in chief has yet to lead on anything good!!! Solyndra was said by him to be the business model to re-ignite economic growth and create high paying jobs for middle class Americans. That type of thinking is why our economy sucks!!!

@ Jr.
"Many buffoons like yourself voted for Obama simply because he was black!"

I'd bet dollars to donuts many dingbats like you voted for McCain because he wasn't.

"Obama the Inheritor in chief"

WTF?? President Obama was ELECTED by the American people in a landslide. Your fake cowboy - the one that ran the country into a ditch - was appointed by the hacks on the SCOTUS.

"Solyndra was said by him to be the business model to re-ignite economic growth..."
Still trying to squeeze the last bit out of the Solyndra tube, huh? It went bankrupt. Companies sometimes do that.

Our economy is getting better all the time. The stock market has passed 13,000. Unemployment is down. Consumer confidence is up. If you cared more about your country than you do your Republican identity you'd be happy about it.
