Uhh..hello? Uhhhhhhh..Mr. Soros, Sir?
This is Barak. Uhh...the President.
What ...I mean...uhh...what do we do here?
No one said anything about this kind of mess
when we arranged for this job, George.
You...you got any idea how to get this problem
off the table?
Anything with traction. Axelrod's out of pocket
on this one.
I...I mean, the TV gig went OK, but it didn't
seem to close the deal.
We gotta close the deal here, Mr. Soros. I'm
dead serious here.
Hello...is anyone there?

Hilarious, but to close to the truth for comfort.

Another example of "You can fool some of the people all the time"

OK, we get it, Bush was a mistake.

Now, tell us. How IS Obama mitigating any of these problems?

One of the 42%.

Our grandchildren will thank you, but only if they've been conditioned by the NEA and PBS.

Obama's ascension is the culmination of the worst tendencies that have accumulated in American politics.

A majority of citizens who have been kept deliberately ill-informed as to political philosophy and who could not articulate one if their life depended on it are convinced to vote for a person who has no legislative accomplishments and legitimately questionable personal accomplishments but who promises them vague assurances that he can deliver what it is they are seeking.

He was not the first to do so, but through him and the Party that promoted him, the process is now cemented in place, so that politics is now and will forever be about symbolism over substance.

For this reason alone he has earned the title of...

"You damn right, Chuck. You are a lot more savage and intolerant."

Chesterton said, "Tolerance is the position of a man with no principles".

"doing good works for the hell of it"

Where do you get this idea of "good"? It's just a concept that secular Jews came up with to justify their continued existence as Jews without a defining metanarrative.

See? It's easy to do that? Anyone can play at that game.

"But the concepts of sin and redemption are not analogies. According to Christians, they are absolute truths, and as such, they don't break down"

The "sin" part is demonstrable anywhere you look; I seriously doubt if you actually believe that it's a concept and only a concept.

I suspect it's the "redemption" part you're having trouble with.

"See, it is this point that Jews did not accept,"

You are quite ignorant of your own people's history and religion then. Your forebears had a system of removing the guilt of their sins every year at what we now call Yom Kippur.

Modern secular Jews get around the difficulty now by denying the very existence of sin. But, of course, what to do about guilt, they have not yet figured out.

" and Christians made them suffer for it in perpetuity."

Your last experinece of suffering at the hands of a Christian was when, again?

"If a teacher was explaining calculus to you, and half way through the equation he wrote on the board "at this point, a miracle happens", would you accept the explanation? More important, could you build anything using such equations?"

At some point, we know that all analogies break down. But they have to at least be good analogies.
