I think you are in the minority
Of course everything isn't peachy, of course there are problems with the Bush administration, but to accuse him of planning and allowing 9/11 to happen, well, I think you're in a very small group that ascribe to that theory. While I don't think the picture is rosy in Iraq I believe it's not a total debacle, I think the majority of Americans' opinions lie somewhere in the middle of either extreme.
That is very sad. You are in a minority. nm

Again, Jefferson was in the minority
I count on this response every time I debate liberals. They pull out the Jefferson pistol. Jefferson was definitely in the minority in some of his views, but then he also said at one point that a man should not be elected president who does not believe in God, oh, then the libs scream his writings were manipulated! From most of his writings Jefferson did have a the opinion that government should not have a state religion (the reason we left England in the first place), and on that we agree. Conservatism does not promote a state religion either only promotion of values that Christianity promotes which are not dangerous to anyone and only promote common sense laws were the foundation of our country....don't steal, don't murder, don't cheat on your wife...etc.
Again, I don't advocate shoving my religion down people's throat. You can't make people accept what they will not accept. That's the beauty of God and his Son, Jesus Christ. They give you free choice, and I certainly don't advocate eliminating your free choice. With that said, in this country majority overides the minority, and atheists and non-Judeo-Christian religions are in the minority. They were in minority at the founding of this country, and they are in the minority now.
Majority rules not the minority
as long as someone is given the option not to participate then no one is getting hurt. If they are the only one in the class that does not want to say it then that's life. We can't cower majority traditions and beliefs to make every individual feel included. We'd truly have chaos then, because every one's feelings are different.
All these people make up a minority
I never said that Jefferson was alone in his views just that he was in a minority. Again, from the evidence I've read on both sides liberal philosophers and professors have chosen to re-write history. I think the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights speak for themselves and literally scream about a country with it's foundations in God. You can choose to ignore the words Almighty God, Divine providence etc., but it does not make them any less there in A deist belives in a deity to answer the question posted above either by the writer of the post or the writer of the excerpted text (I could not figure out who was posing the question).
We could throw quotes back and forth all day and never see eye to eye about it, but I choose to err on the side of God and Jesus Christ. I choose to live by faith that Jesus Christ is the only way, but let's look at it in a common sense way. Say I am wrong, and there are many *paths* to God then I'm still eternally okay, because I have embraced this path of which there are many, but say there are not many paths to God and Jesus Christ is truly the only way....then that's going to leave the people on the *other paths* in sad condition when they leave this world.
Thank God you represent the minority of Americans.
That gives me a great deal of hope for the rest of us.
There are reports all over the media, both print and television, that Bush has known about this since at least Sunday. I find it very suspicious that it was suddenly revealed the day after Lieberman lost to Lamont and after all the White House cronies made their rounds and used the Connecticut primary to once again accuse Democrats of being soft on terror. (It should be noted that the Democrats are not soft on terror; they agree with wiretaps and other surveillance of suspected terrorists but they want it to be done within the boundaries of the LAW, something for which Bush the King has proven repeatedly he has no respect.)
I agree with Lurker that the only reason I can believe this is because it came from another government. We've had too many lies and cry wolf scare tactics from the Bush administration to believe anything he says. He has zero credibility, and fortunately, reasonable and intelligent Americans are waking up to that fact.
Whites to be in the minority by 2042
WASHINGTON — White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, according to new government projections. That's eight years sooner than previous estimates, made in 2004.
The nation has been growing more diverse for decades, but the process has sped up through immigration and higher birth rates among minority residents, especially Hispanics.
It is also growing older.
"The white population is older and very much centered around the aging baby boomers who are well past their high fertility years," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
"The future of America is epitomized by the young people today. They are basically the melting pot we are going to see in the future."
The Census Bureau Thursday released population projections through 2050, based on rates for births, deaths and immigration. They are subject to big revisions, depending on immigration policy, cultural changes and natural or manmade disasters.
The U.S. has nearly 305 million people today. The population is projected to hit 400 million in 2039 and 439 million in 2050.
That's like adding all the people from France and Britain, said Steve A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington group that advocates tighter immigration policies.
White non-Hispanics make up about two-thirds of the population, but only 55 percent of those younger than 5.
By 2050, whites will make up 46 percent of the population and blacks will make up 15 percent, a relatively small increase from today. Hispanics, who make up about 15 percent of the population today, will account for 30 percent in 2050, according to the new projections.
Asians, which make up about 5 percent of the population, are projected to increase to 9 percent by 2050.
The population 85 and older is projected to more than triple by 2050, to 19 million.
If that's true, then you're a minority among

It is true, and it is minority baiting.....
so much for bringing the country together...what a joke! So much for ethical campaign and "above the fray." Gutter politics at its absolute worst.
You are in a steadily shrinking minority. nm
.
Not so much minority, just not as much time to spend on it...
as some seem to have...
It has been my experience with 2 hospital jobs that I had, most of the women, probably 95%, were married and did not need to work. This is going back some 16 years, but it was reasonable back then. A lot of women I worked with talked about how they ocketed their pay in the bank and lived off the spouses pay and benefits.
Times have changed so much. I was a single, newcomer, who needed every penny I made because I lived week to week, but they would always vote down the benefits because they did not need them, and they always put me down all the time. Luckily, there were a few bright shining stars who were open, friendly, and helpful - who taught me SO much about transcription; but the majority, well, not so much.
My point is that our profession has one of the biggest class divisions I think I have ever seen or experienced.
I think whites will be a minority before too long. nm

House minority leader John Boehner gets a mystery box. sm
Bacon, not bomb, leads to evacuation of office
2 hours ago
WEST CHESTER, Ohio (AP) — The office of an Ohio congressman who has fought against pork barrel spending was evacuated over a suspicious package that turned out to be full of bacon.
Staff members at the office of House Minority Leader John Boehner (BAY'-nur) became concerned Monday after finding an envelope leaking an oily substance. Police evacuated several buildings before determining the package postmarked from Georgia contained bacon.
A note was included with the bacon, but police didn't commenting on its contents.
Boehner was not in the office.
A spokeswoman says it's ironic someone would send Boehner bacon because he has spent his career fighting pork-barrel spending. He's one of the few members of Congress who shuns earmarks, those home-district projects sought by lawmakers.
However, the Republican has drawn criticism for voting for a $700 billion financial bailout bill that critics say was loaded with pork.
i agree. of course, the white male would be called a racist too for not wanting a minority to succed

It was another poster on a different day.
I don't know who it was, but those *in the know* have pegged him/her as an alcoholic.
Whoever it was, the person was definitely radical, no doubt about that. If you respond with your email address, I will email you and tell you what it was, as well as the alleged *profanity* that Stephen used. Then you can judge for yourself whether it was legitimate or blown out of proportion. 
m-e-o-w did that poster
beat you in a BE-AU-TY contest or something? here kitty, kitty.
I think maybe what poster is trying to say
is that if same sex partners were meant to be in the first place, the body parts would be made to fit as well. Well, they're not, plain and simple. Man and woman were intentionally designed for the body parts to fit for a reason. Man and man and woman and woman were not and no matter how you try to twist that one, they're just not.
This may or may not be what the above poster
was referring to. Not sure because this article refers to Palin being there and not McCain, but maybe the poster meant McCain as a whole and not the ind. Anway here is the link.

No, just a poster.

Poster is right about something
xx
Very well said by a poster on another
Something is not right about this election.
First, Obama does not defeat Clinton, but is nominated anyway.
Second, ACORN is openly engaged in massive voter registration fraud, and the authorities are doing nothing to stop it.
Third, Obama is awash with millions donated from abroad.
Fourth, the global banking system suddenly collapses, oh, just a month before the election.
Fifth, the Republicans are holding back?!
I think the entire sham is being orchestrated. Are there supranational forces behind the scenes, coordinating the seizure of U.S. banks while propping up a candidate with zero substance? What’s this “change” we keep hearing so much about?
Like another poster said, if this were the other
the liberal news would be all over this and you know it.
like a poster below said
Your last paragraph says volumes. you are willing to give up your freedoms for better economic conditions? When will that stripping away of freedoms end? just remember, you are opening the door to it. Get a handle on it. The economy should not be your only concern. Your freedom should.
And every small business owner I know is worried that they will be forced out.
Sorry, different poster, be that as it may....
Gosh darn, I must have been put in my place by you, huh. I am so enlightened now.
I'm probably not even up to or worthy for additional comment, I feel so gosh darn squashed.
See you on Tuesday. Betcha there's more of us than you.
So you think YOU should be the only poster
racist one at that you have!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT! Above poster is why
this country is going to he!! in a handbasket....too busy yawning and not giving a d**mn about anything but their precious O......
they obviously DO need someone to think for them and O is just their man.
There was a poster on here during
the primaries who waxed about how wonderful with Obama as president it would be to walk out to the mailbox and get another stimulus check like the $600.00 one received previously under the Bush administration, although the poster just knew it was going to be much more than $600.00. Life was exciting just to look forward to another check in the mailbox. Sort of like the woman who said, "Obama gonna pay my mortgage and put gas in my car" entitlement attitude.
I guess that old adage is still true: There's a sucker born every minute.
The only thing Americans are going to get from this porkulus package is higher taxes, more lost jobs, and a day of reckoning, the day Obama gets on TV and finally announces what every clear-thinking American already knows, we are bankrupt, and our biggest debt holder, China, is calling in the debt and taking us over. Well, somebody's got to pay the debt to the biggest debt holder. Considering China's treatment of its own people, just how do you think Americans will be treated?
I can just hear the weeping and gnashing of teeth from the Obamatons when they finally have to say, "He lied to me."  Instead of MT jobs going to India, they will all be in China. Better visit Rosetta Stone, the fastest way to learn Chinese.
Obama is nothing more than a merchant of false hope. At least 49% of our population had the good sense to recognize it.
After Obama throws at least another trillion dollars we don't have at the economic problems, puts some people to work building new roads, institutes another dozen or so failed plans by the top economists of our day, it will become apparent that he has no real answers to our economic problems. Of course, that is because it is not really an economic problem but a spiritual one.
Can anyone doubt God's judgement is upon us?
The other poster did not say anything.......... sm
about Christians hating Muslims. She just said that Islam is being taught in Muslim schools in the US and that those teachings are to hate and annihilate the Christians (infidels). Incidentally, Christians are not the only infidels; anyone who does not profess the Islamic faith is an infidel. Unless you are Muslim yourself, that includes you. I think the other poster is well within her rights to be concerned about a religion whose sole goal in life is to take out as many infidels as possible so that they are assured of their 7 virgins.
Were you educated in a Christian school? I personally don't know of any of the mainstream Christian denominations that teach to hate and condemn specific groups of people. FWIW, I don't hate Muslims. They are, after all, fellow human beings, but I do hate what their religion teaches them to do.
If a certain poster is a liar...
(or if anyone is, from the president right on down)...and of course this is fully documented and there is no question about it...and then they ask us to believe a claim of high personal integrity...well, er, that's asking a little too much. One has to wonder, do they believe their own delusions? Do they really think the house of cards is never going to crash down? Or do they just want us to think it?
Personally I prefer a far less complicated arrangement. You intentionally lie, you are bad and no one should respect you anymore until you learn how to tell the truth.
I don't believe that any poster on this or the other board
wished any poster to die and burn in hell. I remember someone so frustrated with Bush that she once said that Bush will burn in hell. She was frustrated, just like Pat Robertson, who your gang chalks up to freedom of speech.
The comment wasn't aimed at one of you, but yet you have to twist it and turn it into a total LIE before it's fit for you to write.
I, for one, wish you WOULD go back to your board where hatefulness and lies are a way of life.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I've caught you in enough lies that i will NEVER believe anything you say.
P.S. I thought you said you were going to Iraq. YEAH... RIGHT... Add THAT to your never-ending list of lies, as well. You don't have the guts to do it any more than you have the guts to tell the truth about anything.
You're putrid. Just go away.
This poster is not slamming. nm
To quote the poster above....
I have a right to be here and you have no right to tell me where I ought to be.
I understand that you have a hardened heart and nothing I can say or do will change that. Anyone who thinks abortion is a valid method of birth control and is okay with that has a hardened heart. But, your right as an American to hold any opinion you want to hold.
But it is my right as an American, and my moral right as a human being to state my opinion. And my opinion is that a developing child has as much right to life as YOU do. And I will continue the struggle. If that offends you...I'm sorry.
Poster is a jerk to say the least. What a
NM
The 50s-60s poster was talking about
nm
Of course not. It's the poster's sarcasm
BDays is on the messenger, not the source of those hideous remarks. She just used sarcasm to express the same slimed feeling we get when we hear this kind of rhetoric coming from the right-wingers.
Poster is not wrong
I remember a year or so ago when this issue was raised, a journalist was interviewing a doctor who performs these abortions and it was not for the reasons you mentioned; it was simply because the mother requested it, did not want the child, and decided to have an abortion. He performed them. He made no apologies for these murders and as one would expect, he had convinced himself it was not murder.
Hey, i think you have me confused with that other poster!
I was being sarcastic about conforming. I see what Bush has gotten us. I'm on your side!
This is like the statement that one poster said- nm
.
No? Poster should just compromise her
--
Funny...........not ONE poster....
Not one Obama poster has had the guts to admit Obama is involved with ACORN, even though he admits to giving them money AND not one Obama supporter has admitted he admitted to hiding money contributions, over 800 thousand dollars, to ACORN to hire more people to participate in voter fraud. Tells you some people will accept anything and for all the wrong reasons........
For the poster who asked for me to
was a Moslem.........
The rag was himself while on "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos. Obama was talking about his religion and said, " My Muslim faith" and then said when questioned that he "made a mistake".
Is that enough citing for you or do you not believe what he said either?
You blind O lovers need to open your eyes folks!
Blindness will get you nowhere when he has sold your country down the river to the terrorists.
Well, to be honest poster really has no
Always wants facts but when you give them, all you get is a bunch of junk back!
Argument would be if they had something substantial to say in the first place.
Poster is correct
If someone gets on this board and says anything about Obama you don't like, O lovers go ballistic. They want facts, they get facts, and then instead of admitting they weren't aware, they just attack because that's all they got.
I'm not even republican and I can see how close-minded you are. You believe anything said about Obama is a lie, even if the facts are out there. You immediately call the poster a liar without even looking at the source posted, etc.
Please do not try to sound so open minded.....you are not!
Don't worry about the poster below
You stick to your gut instincts. You are right on so many levels. Most of what you say is true and we should all try to buy what is made in this country and discount any companies that have moved our jobs overseas or over the border.
Obama has some wonderful "butterflies and gumdrop" view of thinking he can be everybody's buddy, including Pakistan, which you notice he pronounces much differently than most and that says a lot to me, as well as Venezuela, Brazil, Russian, Cuba; the list goes on and on. Heaven only knows what deals with the devil he will make to get them to like "him" and I can guarantee you he will make this all about him.
The very idea that he tries to portray to the people in this country that 200-250K somehow makes you rich is a very deviant, sneaky, way of trying to mould a picture to the middle class of those "mean old rich folks" who have more than you like that is a terrible thing. How dare someone have something more than you! Isnt' that terrible? Don't you think we should take their money and partake? That way, none of you will have to work hard to achieve anything. Well, we have too many of those in this country that already sit on their duffs and do nothing but wait for the next check. We don't need to further the welfare state we are already in.
Your beliefs are dead on, so you just stick with them.
yea, I'm sure the poster that responded to me . . .
tattled on me, so that explains that :>(
It's obvious why this poster seems to think
government interference in our lives is okay. If she THINKS she falls below the Obama mandate (socialism), she feels secure in thinking it won't be her skin, so she doesn't care. Like so many. They are so sucked in to believing that all these social programs are someone gonna be FREE FOR ALL that she won't be paying any more taxes. Oh, how the ignorant will fall. Shows the true colors of her loyalty or lack thereof for her country. Too bad she isn't grateful she lives in a free society where she is at least free to keep more of her money than in other country and be free to sit her and yammer on ignorantly.
to the poster below about being dense....
My point is proven by your post. You stated that when Obama gets into office, for me to look around and see how many names I can pronounce.. If you are so worried about people of another race running our country...... well you are too late. Did you check out the guy that is in charge of the bailout money? He is from Stow Ohio. He is Muslim. Believe it or not there are other Muslims that are already working in our government. So, maybe you should immediately call for the impeachment of Pres. Bush. After all, this is his administration. Also, Palin is associated with some extremists up there in Alaska. The Alaska Independence Group. She supports them, she has hired people into her adminstration from their group, she has funded them. They are anti-government. They want to separate from the rest of the United States. They don't like the United States. Read up on it, since your so into research. They are very questionable. Some of their beliefs may even be considered borderline possible domestic terrorism. Also, she wants to stretch, by her own standards not the constitution, the powers and roll of the vice president. Thats a little scary, putting someone in there who thinks she can do what she wants in her job instead of being confined by the boundaries of the CONSTITUTION. But you dont seem to have any problems with that. Is it maybe because the color of her skin?
And every poster on this board has the right (sm)
to respond. My personal response is *get over it.* I wonder, after the SC either thows this thing out or determines that Obama is legitimate, what are you going to talk about? Or will the SC be in on this fairytale scam of the century that you guys like to call reality? My guess is there's a reason why most of the posters raising a bunch of crap about the b/c don't use monikers. LOL. I guess I wouldn't want to be identified after that either.
About as much as it bothers you that poster boy
x
not previous poster but
I actually know several people of mixed race (black/white), who are openly racist against whites. Not saying that Obama is or isn't, but it can happen.
