To be fair, $25.2 million isn't exactly a small piece of cash.

look my link posty thing works too :D w00+
all im saying is - without regard to "whos guy it is"
- if a lot ... hell if ANY... of his campaign money came from undisclosed overseas interests, wouldnt you want to know WHO it was :06:

and why is he not telling?

something to hide?

does he not know himself who donated?

respecting the privacy of his contributors?

or something sinister?

it could be any one of those reasons, but would we be irresponsible for not at least CHECKING ???

Sure, your linky posty thing works, but you've got to work on which links you post!

Posting 3 links that support your accusation, then one link from a fact-checking site that says everything you posted previously is false is generally not a good idea.

thats called being "unbiased" :yeah:

all you have to do is look at HOW the articles were written.

3 written factually and in a manner in which the writer steps back and looks at the situation

1 written in language that is abusive to "the right" in its demeanor and language

:up:

just think - thats all

Well done! :yeah:

1. Having gone to Harvard Obama is probabaly smarter than anyone on this forum except for August, okay :smug:

2. Obama won by a large voter turn out that included millions of white voters voting for him too. He is a very popular president. :)

3. Before Hillary gave up Bill Clinton said Obama didn't have what it takes (experience) to be the president of the United States of America. Allow me this one future thought, Obama is proving this and if he stumbles guess who is getting the experience to become the 46th president of the United States of America ... If you said Hillary Clinton you are correct. :salute:

4 Obama attended a church in Chicago for 22 years and never heard his pastor preach one single anti-american sermon (give me a break) Rev Wright was and still is his friend. His children were baptised in that church and untill recently was the only church he had ever been a member of ... :hmmm:

5. As of June 2009 Mr Obama had attended more Muslim mosque than he had a christian (which he proclaims to be) churches. His failure to locate a church in the Washington, DC area was given to his popularity and need for security. Barack Obama still looking for church

Okay, we give him that one, remembering that Mr Bush also chose to stay at home and attend a closed church service at Camp David which after six months of no home church Mr Obama has also now selected to be his church. Don't think this is not important in future events.

6. Who would be on the inside track of knowing how many passports Mr Obama had in the 1980's ... the State Department has that information and you already know who runs that department.

7. Mr Obama has 30 so called czars guiding him on what to do ... who are they and what do they tell him? :o

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/16/fox-debunks-czars/



There is no number eight ... I have to go repent from reading the news and smiling that Mr Obama is on the way down. The Lord doesn't like my smirk and I don't want to be linked with Rush Limbo either.

More facts to chew on: Obama meets with Mormon leader

Abusive to the right? Because they laid out what the facts were and pointed out the errors in the email?

Well, I guess it's true what they say: facts have a liberal bias.

no referring to fox news as "Faux news" as so many liberals like to do is a start.

you wont see one such reference in any of the other articles.

i wont be drawn into an endless debate about this... its mostly nonsense anyway.

my argument is mostly that Americans shouldn't just blindly follow or trust the man who sits in the oval office no matter who he is.

Correction: Nothing will p*ss off the left more than FORCING US to love God and guns.

We don't care what other people do, but it really upsets me when people try to force their ways upon me, then call me "un-American" if I reject them.

As far as the Snopes article, they called the e-mail a faux new article because.... it's a faux news article! It's fake! The e-mail said it was written by Maureen Dowd, but Maureen Dowd didn't write it! Dowd's column on the date that was supposedly published was something completely different. Like most articles in chain e-mails, it's a LIE.

If people read the entire article instead of just the first sentence, stuff like this wouldn't happen. Snopes is a very well-respected fact-based site. I've never heard people on either side say it's biased.

well hey... we have a breakthrough.

1. who is forcing you to go to church? saying that everyone has the freedom of religion doesnt mean you have to pick one.

2. who is forcing you to go purchase a gun? giving me the right to own a firearm with which to protect my home and property doesnt mean you have to buy or own one


the same could be said of the right in this country

we genuinely dont give a sh*t what you do... just dont infringe my rights to #1 and #2 above. and dont FORCE me to pay into socialist programs unless i do so voluntarily or unless i plan on using them for my own family.

deal???

Additionally, he gave a lengthy televised speech to us about it.

War is war, no matter what you try to call it or how you go about initiating it. If you openly engage in armed combat with someone, then you are at war; pure and simple. Too many people run around nowadays trying to call things like Korea and Vietnam "police actions", when by definition, they were wars.

That doesn't mean we should lie about the whole thing or try and sweep it under the rug like it never happened. Honesty is another standard which we supposedly hold as important; something that seemingly faded away in the aftermath of September 11th.

Indeed, perhaps made most evident by the backlash against us from friendly nations after we initially went to war with Iraq in March 2003.

Our "reputation" was not damaged by an act of apologetics by Obama; if anything, it helped. The world (and many fellow citizens) knew for years that what we had done in Iraq was wrong, and we weren't going to fool anybody by trying to ignore our past mistakes there, nor were we going to repair our social status.

The previous President's main base of support was people who wanted to force me to go to Church. They force me to say I believe in God in order to pledge my allegiance to this country. They try to force teachers to teach religion in science classes (we all know what "intelligent design" really is). They use their religion to prevent women from making their own choices about their health. They force people to suffer and die from diseases that could very well be curable with the proper medical research (stem cells). They may not be at my door telling me to go to church, but they're still forcing me to live my life by their religion.

And you can stop paying for "socialist" social programs when I can stop paying for absurd and unnecessary weapons purchases. Deal?

Nobody can force you to do anything of the sort :shifty: i supported the president... i havnt been to church in years, but i do believe in a supreme being.

i dont once recall Bush's campaign revolving around "Forcing Max2147 to go to church" thats absurd

ahhh the abortion issues. When a womans health is in jeopardy... kill the little spawn.

otherwise there are thousands of young couples out there who would GLADLY adopt it ;) its un-nerving to know how many young women out there resort to abortion because they just dont want the kid. (one such young lady in my family :( )

Fund it... i think that most on the right side would agree that stem cell research is a good channel for research... we just dont see the sense in killing a child to do it.

Take 3 seconds out of your busy day to say "no thanks" and close the door in their faces (thats what I do) i would like you to tell me what major changes and challenges you faced in life today because of my religion.

Dont buy guns if you dont like it.

personally i think we should be able to choose what we pay into... you can pay for the inner city youths 500Db stereo system.... ill fund the national defense! heck of a deal.

we are not nearly in as much difference of opinion as you guys love to think.:|\\

the problem is you have the FAR EXTREME LEFT and the FAR EXTREME RIGHT

unfortunately, most folks (self included) are cought up more or less in the middle

Sure, thats is why there are no kids in state care...oh wait:doh:

While I do not much like abortion, it is preferable to bring an unwanted child, or a child the people involved are unable to support, into this world.

Because that video you posted does not have anything remotely like this in it. I did hear Obama admit that the people of Iraq are better off without Hussein, and a lot of talking out of both sides of his mouth, but I asked for backup that Obama said extremists were right all along. I don't care what Marc Thiessen said. I don't need a talking head to help me form my opinions.

Sure does. Did you listen to the entire thing? Or did I post the wrong video? You need to watch the entire thing. Right in front of a Muslim audience. He just authorized their holy war.

of course there are a lot of kids in state care.

the older the kid gets the less likley it is they will be adopted... sad fact but people want "babies".

infants are a HOT commodity when it comes to adoption children under 6 months are generally the first to go.

Did not see that quote, not in that video. Maybe you can tell me the minute mark it occurs at, since most of that 10 minutes is filled with talking heads.

Here's the entire text of his speech, where did he say "the extremists were right all along"?

Quote:

And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.

Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet Al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.
Sounds like the kind of thing I would have applauded Bush for.

You know, when "conservatives" spout this kind of bs, it sounds just like the "liberals" when they bash Bush. What a waste of my time, you owe me 10 minutes.

He didn't say it in those exact words. He didn't have to. He implied it. Same thing. He threw our military under the bus by saying we tortured for one. Need I go on?

Onkel Neal 07-21-09 11:25 PM

No, you need to stop. And I'm not implying it, I'm saying it. Obama didn't say anything of the nature that you claimed. The blowhard commentator made all kinds of accusations that the mindless conservatives eat up, but Obama did not "authorize their holy war".

I'm really beginning to wonder about which side I'm on.:nope:
