Don't discount the fervor among Obama supporters, as evidenced in some blogs: We expect Obama to be God like in his power, which is SO naive. And, if the GOP can weave their poisonous magic and make the powerful base that came together to elect Obama in the first place DOUBT him they stand to win t...

Haiti is one of the poorest nations on the face of the Earth and the illiteracy rate is staggering. It has not been and is not a democracy and few Haitians, struggling to daily survive, before the earthquake, have either knowledge of or interest in world affairs. So, yes, the Haitian representative...

Have you heard of the "zombification" of condemned prisoners on Haiti? No? Well, they sentence a man to death, bury him alive for a day, then dig him up and he's now a "zombie", and is left to spend the rest of his days in slave labor in unimaginable conditions. There are many zombie traditions sim...

Apparently this utter drivel is going to feature in at least one Sunday paper. It seems determined to push this blasted evangelical view that African religions are evil and godless - patent rubbish. African beliefs embrace a Supreme Being like most others. But He isn't the white haired, white skinn...

It was the Christians who spread the bad word that led to Vodou’s bad reputation. Gee. I thought it was the superstition, magic spells, and animal sacrifices that gave Voodoo a bad rap. They blighted any chance of Haiti to develop its own way of life, let alone economy. Interesting. And here I thou...

Thanks for the post, Barry. "Educated class", my German grandmother's Mozart music box! A better word is the "brainwashed class" or the "indoctrinated generation". When our public institutions spend decades brainwashing people, especially the young and gullible, into believing what young Liberals of...

Sorry, Chalkie, but Agnes is right! These people are evil and manipulative, and not that far from Stalin or Hitler in spirit, if not in actual deeds. The kids believe in The Messiah, and "He" is being manipulated by his handlers/enablers just like the kids, between Palin and Obama we have managed t...

Obama could not be handling this decision worse. AT the same time Gates says it can't wait, an Obama official says Obama is not sure whether it needs to be made before an Afghan election. This looks like a Keystone cops operation on a crucial issue. - and you can't blame Bush for this imcompetence....

Daisy

This is one of the silliest threads I have ever seen.

Daisy

O.K. Chalkie, can you distinguish between kids singing praise to Obama and those singing praise to Hitler or Stalin ? I can't because I have not seen anything like it since I was a schoolchild in Czechoslovakia and was made to sing my "praise" to Stalin. Is this the usual thing to do in the US? I m...

This is an inevitable tension that cannot be eliminated. If the Catholic Church didn't say and fully believe what Benedict, John Paul11 and the Fathers of the Church have said and believed for 2000 years, it wouldn't be the Catholic Church. It would be a social club. Just look at what happens to th...

What else can you expect from such people? This is what they are, in their truest form.

Therefore Jesus was not the Jewish messiah that the torah and the Talmud and the kabala speak of. We are waiting for the real true messiah to come, and he will come and do exactly what the God of Israel said he will do. But Torah, Talmud and certainly not Kabala, are one and the same. Kabalic mysti...

What super powers will Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, Uncle Scrooge, Donald and the Disney princesses acquire when they get exposed to radiation and gamma rays? :D Disney had better watch out. I understand that Goofy may have developed the power to zap people young and old into being bored with puerile form...

I spotted Obama as a Communist long ago. It matters not what news station you listen to, you need only listen to Obama himself and take note of the kind of crooks, racists and fanatics that are close within his orbit, and have always been in his orbit, and you can draw no other conclusion. Welcome t...

There's a dead one over in Augusta Georgia, once hailed as a gorgeous new shopping experience for a mostly underpriviledged neighborhood. Within five years, it was in ruins. The reason? A parking lot robbery-rape-murder after an increase in teenage rowdies loitering the mall, killed off all clientel...

Daisy

If no one else has figured it out, he's trying to turn America into a Communist country. Has anyone taken a look at the kind of people he hangs with, the kinds of people he's appointed as his "Czars"?
Opps - better be careful what I say or I'll end up in a goulag.

My pet peeves, and it is an understatement. 1. People who are cruel to animals, children, and old people 2. Liars and hypocrits 3. schoolyard bullies 4. Criminals 5. Left-wing Liberal Democrats 6.

I've seen that! There's only one main thoroughfare in Jersey, isn't there? When we visited friends in Brick, that's the impression we got.

It's still far enough away that I won't lose sleep over it. But it does seem like Jupiter has all the spectacle - where it can stay.

You know what I like most about Democrats like Johnson, Carter, and Obama? They remind all of those otherwise sensible people who voted for them, looking for "change", and after a short while suddenly remember how bad Dems are at running anything, and most of them are gotten rid of in the next elect...

Funny, that's where I stopped reading as well.

I don't understand American health care policy, or the issues surrounding it. I have, on occasion, visited doctors while in the US, and received adequate care each time -- paid for out of my trip insurance. I have also managed the treatment of an elderly relative through the US health care system. ...

That's very sweet. Have you ever seen pictures of mother crocodiles, carrying their babies around in their mouths, their little heads peeping out from between the teeth. You don't imagine tenderness from a crocodile, but there it is.

Of course, this isn't the complete picture, but it is an interesting start.

I wonder if Mrs. Pelosi has given some thought to how her outbursts affect the allies of the United States. If the CIA is lying to Congress, is the CIA also lying to America's allies? In addition to the expose of secret documents, can America's allies be confident that their trust in the United Sta...

Daisy

You're right, Saul. The problem is, that we must remember what Madam Pelosi once said...that it was MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE to see to it that there was a Democrat in the White House and as many Democrats as it took to seize complete control of the government. That is ALL these people care ...

Daisy

Obama and his broken promises do not surprise me in the slightest. After all, he's a Chicago Democrat from what my Chicago friends call "Crook County". We just didn't need someone like him in control, because he really doesn't care about the American people as a whole. Like many people, it was tempt...

A lot of people here are missing the point. These gifts are gestures of international friendship, and as such are usually gifts meant to have historical or national significance. A bust of Churchill or Churchill's writings is appropriate since Churchill was a great man of the previous century, and h...

I still say Bin Laden is dead, and has been dead for a long time.

It is as absurd to lump all atheists together as it is to lump Bishop Tutu with Jerry Falwell because they are both "believers." To say that atheists are devoid of morality is absurd. And I don't know what "pseudo-religion" means. [/i] Be that as it may, we are all once again being forced to listen...

I've been a Republican ever since the glory days of Jimmy (gag) Carter. I have voted Republican ever since. I'm a woman, which defies common mythology about the Party allegiences of women.

When will conservatives realize that there is absolutely NO conflict between evolution and belief in God... Hear, hear. I agree. I have been a Christian for 35 years.

You obviously don't get it. What makes Joe the Plumber important is that he did what most of us would like to do - he had the opportunity to ask a presidential candidate an honest question, and so the Marxist media is kicking him the teeth and trying to intimidate him because he caused the Chosen On...

I'm 61, and I love Alan King. He was always right on the mark. I miss him, and yes this was very funny. I suppose younger people, under 30, might not appreciate it, but people are too sensitive these days and are always looking for malice and slights.

I'm no fan of Obama; in fact, he scares me big time. However, to give the Devil his due, this seems to me just another silly conspiracy theory, of which there have been far too many in this election cycle. Believe me, if the Clintons had been able to get hold of any proof that Obama wasn't born in t...

I'm afraid I don't do rock music at all. Aside from Mozart and a selection of opera, I like Broadway tunes, Gilbert & Sullivan, Japanese music, Celtic music, and Christmas music. In fact, I can listen to Christmas music year round.

But right this minute? TV news coverage. Not very musical at all.

You might want to make it to Boston. Their teeny-weeny but extremely interesting opera season this year includes Shostakovitch's "The Nose." ------------- If I remember correctly, the opera "The Nose" deals with a St. Petersburg official whose nose leaves him and develops a life of its own.

Indeed, the notion that a country like India should be held up as a sort of model of maturity and tolerance to the US, or anyone else, because a female Ghandi was head of state seems absurd to me.

Right. The Obama-loving press has plenty to do with it as well.

That it does! Sorry I forgot to mention them.

Daisy is very wrong with regard to her comment on late term abortions. No one, not Obama or anyone else, has advocated such procedures. A late term abortion, in some cases termed a partial birth abortion, was a rare but occasionally vital procedure to save a woman's life. When the Supreme Court uph...
