Thx for answering...anyone else?! nm
..
Thank you for answering me. I really
was starting to wonder. You have to realize that was one aspect of the overall picture. White men are unfairly treated in other ways and if you buy into commercials, they are the dumbest of the dumb, apparently. They are always the butt of the joke, usually against the wives. You can't help but wonder how much of this affects the kids. I really hate some of the commercials; they show things I did not particularly want mine to see. As far as I am concerned, victoria's secret is soft porn and inappropriate for children to see. My own mother last week said she wished the men and women would go get a room and quit flouting their viagra on her TV! Well, the haves will continue to look out for themselves and their kids, just ask the cops who arrested the daughter of the mayor of Houston for DUI. This is the guy who started the safe tow in Houston for those who broke down. you know those cops had theirs covered when they arrested her, but she still got off.
The single mom thing is really hard, I had 4. It does not help when they have to listen to the others at school who get every little thing their hearts desire and yours have to do without; they will be better off later and I already hear that from mine. Just the other day, my oldest told me, "Mom, I don't know what I would be doing right now since being laid off if we had not been so poor growing up - I would be losing my mind". good luck to you.
Oh, one other thing. I am seeing first hand some of the treatment now that more minorities are gaining power and some of them are worse than the good ole boys ever thought about being. I went into the workforce when laid off and took a test, made 100, that was last October, and they have never pointed me to a single job. But I was in there long enough to take in the fact they were happily helping others. I resent it and I guess some would call it payback. I think americans may have to deal with the fact that our quality of life is taking a nosedive. We will be forced to bundle up like they used to do in order to survive.
Thanks for answering.
I have been of the mind that the people promoting this line of objection possibly would never truly accept that the birth certificate is/could be legit. I appreciate that you took the time to explain not only what would alleviate your doubts, but also why you have those doubts.
In return, here is my justification for believing that his BC is legit or is a non-issue. First is that he has been in politics long enough and his presidential aspirations were known for such a length of time that if he did not meet this particular requirement, someone would have actually proven it a long time ago, especially a fellow Democratic rival. (Pols seem to be most vicious with their own at times.) Also, to me at least, the actual location of his birth is irrelevant. His mother was an American citizen, and although at the time of his birth the law required her to be 4 years past (I believe) the age of 16, later amendments were passed altering that requirement retroactively to a period beginning far beyond and encompassing the year of his birth.
As far as the "natural-born" portion of requirement meaning born on U.S. territory, well...I was born in Scotland while my parents were on vacation (and have continued to surprise them ever since). Does that mean, since my father is Scottish and my mother American, that I am ineligible to ever run for president since I was not born on American soil? I am American according to our government and have never had to apply for citizenship even though I was born in a foreign country. To me, natural-born means born to a citizen that did not require a naturalization process to become a citizen. (I sure hope I stated that in a way that makes sense.)
Also, there is some component of grandparents' citizenship that comes into play, but I have never had reason to look into that. I will though, when I get the time, and see if that has any relevance in this instance.
Thanks again for answering my question. I appreciate your honesty.
Not really answering your question but ...sm
I am blessed to have lived in both Hawaii and Vermont, both VERY liberal states, both of which provide heath care to all residents in different ways, summer Vermont and winter Hawaii is my dream.
Your not answering her question
She asked how can you not think it is right for Israel to defend herself.
If you are answering to me, my personal
beliefs are strongly Christian, but I am a Christian who also believes wholeheartedly in the separation between church and state, FYI. I was answering the person who is scared. Christians should not be afraid of anything, if they truly believe that God is in control. Just my opinion.
So, you are answering my question with
a question. And, you were not the questioner, you were the one making the following statement:
The former administration has to take the blame if S- O-M-E of these innocent, now released or soon to be released detainees are going to do any harm to you.
Since you feel that some of the detainees are innocent, would you want them to live next door to you? It's a simple question....
No one is even talking to you. We are answering OPs question to us (sm)
No one is infringing upon your rights. You are interrupting our conversation with your opinions. If OP wants your non-Christian opinion, she can ask you.

I have no problem answering your question
If "they" were going to take my money and give it to someone else of course I wouldn't like it. This garbage that is being spread about Obama taking "your" money and giving it to someone who doesn't work is just that, garbage. He has never suggested any such thing. His "redistribution" of wealth, is in the form of taking back the windfall tax cuts Bush gave to the rich. He then proposes to give more tax relief to the WORKING middle class. Anyone with half a brain and minimal intelligence should be able to understand that.
It might behoove you to read the post before answering.
Thank you for answering the disciple/alter ego question....
thought bookworm sounded too much like you not to be you.
Thank you for answering her post with a liberal talking point. :-) nm

Typical, retreat without answering a simple question under ANY of your many names...
demean, belittle, name-call, deride, post under different names to support your view because no one else will...and as far as granting my wish...never asked you leave...you said you were leaving to hunt a job. I said see ya when you get back. That is hardly asking you to ride off into the sunset. You are so similar to Mr. Obama...birds of a feather and all that...ask a simple straight-forward question and you dodge it like it was on fire. Guess your superior intelligence just deserts you in the face of a simple question...or perhaps even you, from your lofty perch, have enough common sense to realize that there is no bigotry to what I said. You are far more bigoted toward conservatives and people you feel are inferior to you than I ever could be...and certainly more bigoted than my stance on immigration.
Still with the plaigiarism thing...good grief, you DO love to belabor a point, especially when you are wrong. Someone has always said something before...and in all your diatribes I did not find one original point. Read the same thing on leftist blogs, in articles, and on and on and on. Not one original thought from the great brain that is GT/GW/BW/FPJ.
See ya...and yeah, it HAS been fun. lol.
And no, I did not discount that FPJ could have been speaking on her own...just said if she was, she was plagiarizing you. You seemed to be so concerned about plagiarizing...not even taking into consideration that your lectures are about 98% plagiarized (by your definition...your words, not mine). Did you really think people wouldn't google?
Take care. I am still considering spiteful little vixen stationery...might even get T-shirts. :-)
Cildren answering McC/Failin robocalls scared to hear
What a brilliant campaign strategy. Scaring children. Must be really proud of their candidates authorizing this lunacy.
And my politics and faith are hand in hand. Plus I'm just answering her question.

Question with question:why bother answering JTBB

Hard to believe
that there are still people in this country who can't see this, who still worship Bush no matter how badly he disregards the Constitution and American freedom. Our forefathers must be turning in their graves.
It is hard to believe, but a lot believe whatever sm
they hear on TV news, etc. They have heard the term our democracy so much, everyone believes this is our form of government, but it is not. America is a Constitutional Republic. Things are said enough and you eventually believe them. This is how propaganda works.
not so hard to believe
from http://www.infowars.net/articles/may2006/100506clinton.htm
The Clintons and the Bushes have been known to vacation together in more recent times. Earlier this year on CBS, Clinton revealed that he looks upon the Bushes as a surrogate family, and how Barbara Bush refers to him as her son. Is this really a picture of two distinct and opposed political ideologies pitted against one another?
You know, if you look hard enough
on the internet you can find "facts" to back up just about any ridiculous claim from two-headed monsters, to ape babies to all sorts of conspiracy theories. There's even a cult that worship their own stool (yes I am not making this up) and I'm sure this cult has multiple references and "facts" to back up their beliefs in preserving their feces forever.
But all that doesn't make it true. And the discriminating and intelligent person should be able to tell feces from fact, but apparently you can't.
Who says they don't fit, maybe you are just not trying hard enough! nm

Must have been hard..........sm
to hold that little baby, knowing it was thrown away by her mother and had to suffer such consequences. I sometimes think situations like that are worse than even the partial birth abortion.
Hard to believe
Question is who is behind him and who put him where he is. This is an old article but the issues are still current. And this is from..The Pakistan Daily (not America)
http://www.daily.pk/world/84-worldnews/6726-barack-obama-is-not-a-us-citizen.html
Not hard to believe
First, I find trying to associate Sarah Palin with this lady is ridiculous.
Obama's associations not so ridiculous, especially when there are pictures, witnesses, etc.
Second, it is not so hard to believe that Sarah and Todd have not met these people. My mom and dad did not meet my inlaws until 2 weeks before our wedding when we had a dinner. And my mom's parents didn't meet her inlaws until maybe a week before her wedding.
Trying really hard to think
why I would care what Rick Warren thinks.
This is not hard to
In the view of Christians:
1. God does not condone evil, nor does He protect those who commit evil acts from the consequences of those actions.
2. There is a responsibility to protect the innocent that supercedes any conflicting obligation that might exist toward those who would kill them.
3. God was much harsher toward the oppressors of the innocent than anything the CIA has ever done. Try reading about the plagues He visited upon Egypt if you want to talk "torture".
I could go on, but there's no point. I'll just say thank God for Christians; a lot of people are alive in Los Angeles because we were able to disrupt a plan that was already in motion. If left up to the faux moralists (who would torture their own grandmothers in a minute if they thought it would save their own lives), those people would be dead. But hey - no AL Qaida would have had to look at a caterpillar!
You are very welcome. Its hard sm
to keep up with when you work for them much less the general public.
Yep, it's not hard to believe that the neocon
Limberger is a liar in the midst of all of his drama how can he keep a story straight?
He probably forgets half of it anyway, that's the drug effect.
Laughing so hard I go...
into silent laughing, mode, thinking I will fall off my chair but I don't. That's how much I am laughing at this. He did make an appearance and say something, however lukewarm it was, I will say that for him, more than others do when they actually do kill/lie/out people. Chavez, on the other hand, is giving oil away, giving billions to help Cuba and The Dominican Republic with oil prices which have soared to $4 a gallon in the islands. It is part of what he calls Petrocaribe. He is helping to rebuild decrepit refineries in the islands as well. Same goes for his own country where you can fill your tank for about $2. Whatever his politics are; he is sharing the wealth of his country with, omg!!! real everyday people and poor everyday people. What an evil dangerous man. I think we should kill him. Want to really annoy a Republican...share whether or not the person/country with whom you are sharing meets your own moral criteria for giving, you know, the worthy poor versus the unworthy poor. And before anyone starts in with Chavez beomg a communist, socialist, a danger to the United States tripe, I have one word...China.
Not really that hard to grasp.
A great article about the Gulf of Tonkin incident can be read here:
http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/
g/gu/gulf_of_tonkin_incident.htm
But to answer more plainly, the point is that Johnson in all ways was a dead ringer for today's Republicans. He did not represent the Democratic ideals then or now. Interesting snip of the article:
Most Americans know little of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Historians have shown that the Johnson administration provoked the incident with the intention of crafting a pretext for making overt the American covert involvement in Vietnam.
Sound like anyone you know? Sound like two Texas politicians might have owned the same playbook? Should either one of them be admired for that? I can certainly say no!
So when are those on the Wrong Right going to place blame where blame is clearly due on BOTH sides of the aisle?
I find it hard to believe you don't see it.
I would say a big no on that one - why are people trying so hard to get her in
I haven't figured out yet why people are trying so hard to get her into office. She should go back to being a Senator from NY. She even said earlier in her campaign that being a Senator is a very good job. I have not figured out (and I really have tried to be objectionable) as to why people want her back in there. Doesn't anyone remember what it was like when the Clintons were in before. I know that speaker of the house doesn't get her "in" the white house, but you have to remember that if something happens to President and VP then speaker of the house is next in line. That would make me very nervous and I'd be constantly looking over my shoulder as to what she and Bill are up to. I think she should go back to being a senator or congress person and leave it at that.
Its hard to calm down
You know when Kerry ran against Bush I did not feel this way. When Gore ran it was a little different because he was still associated with the clintons and I didn't not want a Clinton 3rd term. I just can't understand how someone can say something so shameful and hurtful. I can't even imagine what Obama's wife is thinking. Probably one of her biggest fears, and then along comes her husband's oponent and says something like this? Just really gets the blood pressure going. Some of the media is trying to make excuses for her but there is just no excuse. I wouldn't think so harshly if she had come out right away and said in no way did she mean what came out of her mouth, but she waits til the end of the day and then tries to cover it up and doesn't even apologize. Despicable and sleezy!!!!!!
I really find it hard to believe
the Clintons when I know deep down they don't want him for prez either. How can you endorse someone when you tried so hard to put them down and show they weren't right for the job in the first place?
That may be, but it is hard for me to understand....sm
after being a prisoner of war and saying he was tortured that he can say that torture of prisoners is OK. This only puts our soldiers in harm's way.
See. Was that so hard? It is up to anyone who reads it...
what to take from it.
And I think he works very hard trying to ...
take down a God he doesn't even believe exists by ridiculing people who know He exists. If God doesn't exist, what difference does it make? Methinks he doth protest too much...lol. Lotta guilt there from somewhere. lol.
No, what's hard is not getting banned from
I work hard and get no help from anybody.

It is very hard to believe this senario when...sm
she says she is an MT and between she and her husband are earning 24,000 a year and working their butts off. Something just doesn't add up. She is the one that brought the subject up about what she and her husband make. Her opinion of what working her butt of means and mine is very different. 40 hours a week as an MT even with minimum production and a the lowest cents per line would easily add up to more than 18-20,000 a year. Hello.
It is hard to believe that so many people
can put so much hope, trust, adoration and committment, thus making a god of this man. It is plain sickening.
hard hearted
Wow, I am offended, I am actually very soft hearted and concerned for many people and causes, but I guess, since I don't agree with you that makes me EVIL. You guy are too much, lol!
At least now we know why he has been pushing so hard
Vote early and vote often.
no no no. It is hard to tell how people
mean things when typing and I read my post and thought maybe it came across negatively!
Still feel for you, it must be hard to keep
up such a happy facade with such hate and bitterness inside of you. I can just imagine you hunkered down over your keyboard, directing your anger and bitterness to those out in cyberspace who don't think like you. There are so many larger issues in this world that are much more important than gay marriage. The time will come when it will be accepted. Until then, why not turn your negative energy into something positive instead of dwelling on something the majority of us don't want.
Oh no, Mr. Bill. Another BC die-hard?
No wonder you are so nauseated by the countdown. Suddenly your posts make perfect sense, even though there is no logical connection between the BC blowhards and reality. So much for the open-minded thingy.
The precise reference I was making was "methinks thou doest protest too much," or in some transliterations, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." I was using the phrase rather loosely in an attempt to avoid the pounding libs often take for being all elite if they quote Shakespeare or try to use his Bardisms. It's from Hamlet. Doth and doest have been used interchangeably in literature, as have you and thou. Like any quotation, it takes on its fullest meaning when it appears within its context.
Why do you just ignore the hard
the gutter? Girl, you need to get a life! Oh, that's right, you said you did already. Transcribing 3500 lines a day, then the rest of a day stirring the pot on an internet forum just isn't my idea of a life.
It was hard to watch that...
It was like watching a cockroach squirm around after being sprayed with Raid.
I find it hard to believe....#7
that Canada would want to inherit our problems. Mexico? Well, so many of them live here already.......I really can't see them combining governments cooperatively - our country can't even get along (dems and pubs).
You would have a hard time.......... sm
convincing most schools that they need to teach basic good values to students. They would argue, and I tend to agree with them, that they have their hands full teaching children the educational skills needed to be successful in school and college. More and more is being required of our children at a younger and younger age. Most of the teaching revolves around learning the skills necessary to pass the standardized tests required in most states. Here in Texas, TAKS instruction takes up the majority of the school day. My son has a 2-hour math class and 2 separate language arts classes, both subjects of which are TAKS-required and required to pass the TAKS inorder to matriculate to the next grade.
I believe, and I believe most teaches would agree with me, that morals begin at home and are best taught by example and not by a teach-and-test method. I live in what is considered to be an "economically depressed" area and the attitudes of a good number of our students is abysmal at best, reflecting the attitudes of their own unemployed, welfare-recipient parent(s). Until parents' attitudes and values change, neither will the children's, and they are the ones who will suffer.
