Should I have added a sarc tag just in case?
Ummm, didn't Obama have some kind of relatives in the American branch of the Polish army that liberated some of the concentration camps or something like that?

"Bardo’s dismissal, delivered in a crisp British accent, is in sync with every intellectual elite who cannot comprehend why anyone wants to align themselves with the Tea Party rabble. Yet Sen. Casey says such dismissal is foolish. “The anxiety and the passion that are part of that movement are more widely shared than we realize,” he says. The latest USA TODAY/Gallup poll shows that just about as many Americans want Tea Party-backed members of Congress to take the lead in setting policy during the next year as want President Obama to do so. " Crisp, British accent? Then perhaps America may not be so bad if he still desires to live here, run a business here and make his life here. It would seem that one minor point of emigrating...
When I speak Spanish with my Hispanic friends I frequently pronounce words spoken in English with a Mexican accent. I do the same thing in Tagalog, Bicolano and English as well though. When I am speaking in English, I still say Jalapeño with the Spanish pronunciation of the J and N though ... does this mean I am violating some rule?

Oddly enough, I learned Spanish because when I lived in Mexico, I needed to learn their language as they were not so accommodating as to learn English to meet my needs or make me feel more welcome or loved. Likewise, when I moved here in the Philippines, though English is common in the city centers, I had to learn Tagalog and Bicolano as a means of communicating with the locals.

Does that...

Could it possibly be that ObaMao is simply paving the way so that he has a place to go after he has destroyed his political future here in the US? A place perhaps, where he enjoys a more "kindred spirit" and in his own words, where he can side with the Muslims?
IV - There is a problem however. Since Fox News became dominant, one would expect less complaints about liberal news programs. No. The complaints have increased dramatically. Conservatives, sadly, will not stop complaining until every opinion expressed everywhere be a conservative opinion. The problem here should be obvious for anyone to see. If someone is expressing an opinion, that is considered to be an opinion/editorial or op-ed piece. It is not now, never has been and never should be considered as news. When someone is reporting the news, an equal sampling of "opinion" from all sides may be used in addition to the news itself but should not be the story. News should restrain itself to nothing more than the facts. Anything above...

You may be right considering the term Deist as you do but your friend the Deist (Franklin) was also the one to call for prayers for guidance before the meetings. I would suppose that was at least a minor indication that even he sought superior help on occasion. He also believed (and rightfully so in my personal opinion) that the guidance of God (not just any god) would be necessary to create this nation. His personal papers also speak highly of his love and respect for God but his disavowal of making them publicly known primarily due to the writings in the Bible warning those (like the Pharisees) who stood in prayer in front of the world were already getting their attention and thus, their "reward" in full here on this earth in this...

We cannot sue the government for failing to provide for us! No need for tort reform as the government cannot be sued with tort law anyhow! All those who die while on the waiting lists will be less mouths to feed on SSI and other social welfare programs meaning that there will be less "waste" there. Abortions will be paid for by the government and depending on which version of the bill passes, may even be mandatory ... for some people at least ... though arbitrary enforcement may seem detrimental, it still lowers the number of people left that the government has to regulate or control! Now with no children, no private health insurance and long lines even at the emergency rooms, even more people will die making it even less expensive to...
There was a time when the Republican Party was new too. Not all new parties are doomed to failure ... even in these "interesting" political times. Perhaps it is time to make the third party a viable option and a very real threat to Democrats and Republicans alike who constantly scorn the will of we the people. Granted, it would not be easy but that does not make it impossible.
What seems to be sorely overlooked here is the ability of the government to come in and dictate how a private institution conducts business with its customers and to actually nullify existing contracts between two citizens. I do not personally have any credit cards and having "gone Galt" a number of years ago, my debts are extremely limited. However, when you give this kind of power to the government or allow the government to take this kind of power, do not be surprised when they take it to the next level down the road a ways.

While it would be well advised for all people to be responsible, such has never been the case. When the government gets too overbearing and controlling, we may actually see a return to the "HeyDay" of the...
