Yes, everything is still all about you and what you did in the 70s, Frank. The broken record still spins.

What we should be learning is that a weak president will benefit all the crackpot dictators of the world. It's happening. Wake up.

The mere thought of the selfish right-wing ideology makes me sick to my stomach. People are saying they feel oppressed by Obama because there is a chance that, God forbid, the rich will have to pay higher taxes. There are people who are homeless, living off welfare or without health insurance. Step into these individuals shoes & maybe you will gain some perspective & maybe a heart as well. "Capital punishment would be used routinely to punish a variety of crimes including being gay." If anyone should feel oppressed, it's the homosexuals. They're human beings just like you and I. It's quite hypocritical that Republicans are all for religious rights when they want to "place laws disenfranchising gay men & women & banning them from serving in the military." I, as a devote Christian, believe all God's children are EQUAL. For you Republican "Christians", who are pro-life, you are once again hypocrites. Capital punishment is killing people, which is a mortal sin. The sixth commandment states, "Thou shalt not kill."

"Thou shall not steal." but you want the government to take the property of others at the force of their government gun.

I respect your right to a greed is good philosophy, but we just want you to understand you are a negative influence on Christianity.

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Who is that attributed to? Sounds like socialism to me... and no, I am not a Christian.

When the Govt (not just ours) is left to it's own right-wing devices, they help NO ONE.

And is someone waving a gun in your face? Is your Quality of Life going down the drain because suddenly there is a Dem in the Whitehouse TAKING all your "hard earned" money?? Get real...

CestLaVie27- There is nothing preventing you choosing to house the homeless, suplement those on welfare, or provide them with heath insurance. I take you at your word that you are a Christian and as such do these things as they are inline with the fundamental principles of Chrisianity. Where I strongly disagree is that you believe it is a Government responsibility and that it should be done on the backs of those who have enjoyed financial success. The Government should encourage and incentivize its citizens to help their common man, but they have no place determining what causes should be supported over others or arbitrarily defining how much generosity is required of its citizens by taxing them for these purposes.

The intention was limited government to avoid becoming a welfare society. Perhaps when the rich secured the Christian voting block they became too powerful, because instead of people losing welfare the people lost their pensions and healthcare, and eventually many of their homes and jobs. It was just too much of a struggle for us trying to compete with the golden parachutes for that limited pile of national treasure.

If we don't like these Christians why not round them up. We could stick them all in camps and make them do something useful. As soon as they're not useful, I'm sure there are things that can be do to them. We can come up with some sort of Final Solution to the Christian problem.

The solution is to get things out in the open, talk about them.

That was rock and roll, dude.

I'm an Atheist and people like Dobson and Robertson make me sick. However, to compare their ridiculous agenda, the murder of the Doctor and the Security guard to what has been going on in Iran for the past 30 years is just ridiculous. Of course the war in Iraq is a sham, but that has nothing to do with the religious aspect of the American Right, it was just W.'s way to make his daddy and his oil buddies happy. People seem to forget why we ended up in Afghanistan, and we were never even close to actually getting into a conflict with Iran. These comparisons Americans in the Left and Right like to make between domestic and international situations are nothing new, have no merit and do nothing but get people on their side of the aisle all riled up.
