“Excellent post.

It would appear the pictures are carefully selected.”

“Transubstantiation is the word you're looking for. The priest says the magic words, and the bread becomes the actual Body of Christ (not a metaphor, not a symbol, the real deal). You won't have to think about that for more than ten minutes to see how goofy it is.

The Catholic Church as an institution (I'm not talking well meaning individuals within the Church, which includes many regular folk, a fair number of priests, and some bishops), really has no interest in anybody's soul. The Church hierarchy is really only interested in perpetuating the money flow. Like the insurance companies.”

“Kind of an odd reason to say that someone has earned his place in heaven.”

“Give me a break. A rich man's palace in the wilderness earns him a place in heaven? Perhaps he'll
be the one who threads the eye of the needle. Not.”

“Is he going to leave it in trust, undeveloped? If so, that may partially offset the damage he's done to women with his skinny clothing and disturbing ads.

I would call that a karma-neutral outcome.”

“The conservative calender? Of course it's real - the objectification of women is a time-honored conservative tradition.

The liberal calender? I hopes so.”

“As is quite often the case with eBay auctions.”

“None of this is about taxes, big government takeover or freedom. This is an expression of pure, raw racism. The issues are smokescreens. Hardly any of the teabaggers either know or can speak intelligently about any of the issue they're protesting. What they are really upset about is that a black man and his family occupies the White House. Everybody knows this is the case it's just that no one is willing to acknowledge the elephant that is in the room. It's racism folks. Nothing more and nothing less.”

“i agree, but these folks don't like facts. the war in iraq and afganistan could've paid for everyone attend to college, pay for every american to have health insurance, but no...we should bring democracy to countries that HATe the USA...amaz­ing.... talk about putting country first”

“If they cared about overspending they would have protested Bush for eight years when he doubled the deficit.”

“faux told them it was free -”

“Actually sparky, the financial crisis was triggered by a housing collapse. Of which the democrats controlled the purse strings.”

“OK THATS YOUR OPINION”

“What law would that be? Are you familiar with: "Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place."
Sure, he was out of line, and yes - we should, as a nation, do better (including prior boorish behavior during other presidential addresses). However, he cannot be prosecuted, and no one should attempt anything so obviously unconstitutional and wrong on its face.
With respect to illegal aliens receiving services, read the bill. If it's being tightened up, I guess Wilson, jerk though he is, had a point. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”

“Court marshalled? What kind of idiocy is that?”

“:) You got that right...Th­ey've just downright generally demeaning”

“Their all like that.

Here this is represenative of the GOP.

“thank you he said during the campaine WE must stand with him because he knows where his power come from.”

“Much as I admire your optomism, I fear you are in for a disappointment. No one is THAT good.

I hope you're right though. A lot.”

“I definitely hope you're right. We need meaningful reform!”

“Obama is like a Jedi master....”

“Agreed. I think the president knows exactly what he is doing and how to get people on board with his plans.”

“Hope you're right, really.”

“I'm working on it. I don't agree that Obama has betrayed his constituency but the CEO of Whole Foods certainly has. What? He thinks all of us "natural food" nuts are neoconservatives? That's the scotch and red meat crowd.”

“and whole foods is a LOT more expensive than Trader Joe's.”

“Thanks for posting the link. And the comments are from someone who lives in Alaska and knows about how Sarah managed the State. She lives there.”
