I can't decide what to do with your comment. How does your god decide who is right or left? Do you have any evidence that there actually is a hell? What is your personal representative of your god saying about who is going to hell?

He is just saying that there are people who claim to be witches just like people claim to see UFOs. What is so hard to understand about that?

One of the wost things we can do in trying to bridge gaps between people like republicans and democrats is resort to worthless name-calling and threats. It makes both sides look childish, breeds resentment, and results in false ideologies and divisions amongst Americans.

New Yorkers calling people from Kentucky "dumb rednecks" and people from Kentucky calling New Yorkers "elitist snobs." Then we don't see eye-to-eye on candidates because it becomes a war of "us against them."
Even the self assigned names, such as the liberals who refer to themselves as "progressives" is awfully presumptuous.
We need to all treat each other with a little civility. Party A is not 100% right and Party B is not 100% wrong. We must stop barking at each other and saying "You're an idiot because you believe that" and work to find common ground.
Unfortunately it's easier said than done, and the discussions on the web exemplify that.

Well, we should stop sneering at the mutt people and begin to educate them. Otherwise we will continue to have emotional victims of religious and political hucksters messing up the country.

Revenge of the Mutt People
.... My point here is that we rural and small town mutt people by an early age seem to have a special capacity for cruelty, compared say, to damned near every other imaginable group of Americans. For instance, as a child did you ever put a firecracker up a toad's ass and light it? George Bush and I have that in common. Anyway, as all non-whites the world round understand, white people can be mean. Especially if they feel threatened -- and they feel threatened about everything these days...
... About half of the Americans killed in Iraq come from communities like Winchester, Virginia or Romney, West Virginia or Fisher, Illinois or Kilgore, Texas or . . . . About 45 percent of the American dead in Iraq come from communities of less than 40,000, even though these towns make up only 25 percent of our population. These so-called volunteers are part of this nation's de facto draft -- economic conscription -- the carrot being politically preferable to the whip. The carrot does not have to be very big out here where delivering frozen food wholesale to restaurants out of your own car entirely on commission is considered a good self-employment opportunity...
... So we will either see that Americans, religious or not, get educated equally so they won't be suckered by political and religious hucksters. If not, then we must accept that uneducated people interpret politics in an uninformed and emotional manner, and accept the consequences. America can no longer withstand the political naivete of this ignored white class. Middle class American liberals cannot have it both ways. It has come down to the simplest and most profound element of democracy: Fairness.
... Lots of Americans don't seem to mind having a pack of young American pit bulls savage some flyblown desert nation, or running loose in the White House for that matter, as long as they are our pit bulls protecting Wall Street and the 401-Ks of the upper middle class.
The problem is this: pit bulls always escalate the fight and keep at it until the last dog is dead, leaving the gentler breeds to clean up the blood spilled. We mutt people, the pit bulls, have always been your own, whether you claim us or not. And until you accept that you are your brother's keeper, and help deliver us from ignorance, you will continue to have on your hands some of every drop of blood spilled . . . from the sands of Iraq to the streets of East L.A. All the socially responsible stock portfolios, little hybrid cars and post modernist deconstruction in the world will not wash it off.

Palin's preacher: Jews control the economy, that's causing all the corruption
A new video of Sarah Palin experiencing a laying of hands at her church in Wasilla shows Sarah Palin's preacher telling the congregation - with Palin present and about to join him on stage - how Christians need to take over control of the business world, especially banking, just like the Jews (Israelites) have done. He then goes on to say that the fact that non-Christians are running the banking industry is the cause of all of the recent scandals.

Plenty of mutt people in the inner cities and burbs, too, Hyperbola. We need to stop hating ourselves and acting like a country full of Rodney Daingerfields, and start standing up for common values instead of extremist ones. We need to focus on breathing new life into the Constitution--all of it.

I'm so sick and tired of the racist double-standards practiced by blacks. They say if white people don't vote for Obama, that makes them racists. Well, by their own definition, if what they say is true, doesn't that make them racists for not supporting McCain? Also, most blacks have admitted the main reason they support Obama is because he's black. And they call us white people "racists"!? What's just as bad (if not worse) is the fact that most white Obama supporters also admit they support Obama because he's black. Is that "democracy"?? Not even close. It sounds more like brainwashing.

Get your facts straight. You claim that blacks "say if white people don't vote for Obama, that makes them racists." I have heard/seen this claim made by people like you and DamnLiberals, but never directly from blacks. People, including me, do say that some whites don't vote for Obama because he is black, but you can't turn this statement around and claim that everybody is racist who doesn't vote for him. Causal relationships usually don't work both ways. Racism may cause not voting for him, but not voting for him doesn't necessarily imply racism.
The reason why most blacks support Obama is not because he is black, but because he is a Democrat. Almost the same percentage supported Gore and Kerry even though they are white.
You claim: "What's just as bad (if not worse) is the fact that most white Obama supporters also admit they support Obama because he's black." Now this is news to me, and I hope you have some facts to support this claim. Why would they do that?
You ask: "Is that "democracy"?? " Yes, it is. Your claim about voting for him because he is black is untrue, but even if it were true, it would still be democracy. People have the right to choose as they please even if the reasons for their choice are wrong, as I'm sure you reserve that right to yourself. That's exactly what democracy is.
Just in case you are wondering, I'm white.

The ridiculous part is this. The President can only sign laws that come from congress. So
Reply
BO and JB or JM and SP can make all the claims they want. They know they aren't going to happen. By time the lobbyist get involved the laws are going to be so full of pork and crap that only a President with a firm resolution to prevent that will prevail. This is JM statement, he will not put up with Pork and entitlements.
We have enough stupid laws on the books as it is. Anybody who will veto more stupid laws is my candidate.-

On the other hand, McCain has spent his entire career corruptly peddling political influence. How do you suppose McCain got to be worth $40 million while on a public salary (military, senate) his whole life?
Reply
For McCain and Team, a Host of Ties to Gambling
Mr. McCain portrays himself as a Washington maverick unswayed by special interests, referring recently to lobbyists as “birds of prey.” Yet in his current campaign, more than 40 fund-raisers and top advisers have lobbied or worked for an array of gambling interests — including tribal and Las Vegas casinos, lottery companies and online poker purveyors.
...Perhaps no episode burnished Mr. McCain’s image as a reformer more than his stewardship three years ago of the Congressional investigation into Jack Abramoff, the disgraced Republican Indian gambling lobbyist who became a national symbol of the pay-to-play culture in Washington. The senator’s leadership during the scandal set the stage for the most sweeping overhaul of lobbying laws since Watergate... interviews and records show that lobbyists and political operatives in Mr. McCain’s inner circle played a behind-the-scenes role in bringing Mr. Abramoff’s misdeeds to Mr. McCain’s attention — and then cashed in on the resulting investigation. The senator’s longtime chief political strategist, for example, was paid $100,000 over four months as a consultant to one tribe caught up in the inquiry, records show.
...As public opposition to tribal casinos has grown in recent years, Mr. McCain has distanced himself from Indian gambling, Congressional and American Indian officials said.
But he has rarely wavered in his loyalty to Las Vegas, where he counts casino executives among his close friends and most prolific fund-raisers...
