Thread: Hallowed be thy name?

Gugi, I burnt those videos along with the other ones. You know, the ones where you are doing that funny thing you always do to my goats, those videos.

"
By the way Billy Jeff and Englishgent, this is not a thread about Obama but rather what appear to be kooks praying to him.
I am curious to see other such stories and videos about other leaders of the world."

Well, that would have been a good point if not for the fact that what was being represented (people praying to Obama) was no such thing. Check out the website of the organization whose members were on the video. You may not agree with their political positions, but they were NOT chanting what your post said they were chanting. Now, I realize you only cut and pasted another post from the net, but the fact of the matter is that it was a misrepresentation that you invited people to comment upon. Had you fact-checked before you posted, you would have found that out. As you (finally) correctly note, it "appears" those in the video are praying to Obama (well, not to me, but your ears my differ). Bottom line: you posted nonsense. And the willingness of so many to believe this type of nonsense is, as I said, breath taking. Can't wait for the birther videos...

By the way, this southerner who loves his guns and religion is at least smart enough to know how to spell "there".

Great point. I made a spelling error. Wrote "thiere" instead of "there". Thanks so much for the correction. You must be quite the linguist to have picked up on that one.

Oh, by the way, in your response to my post you wrote: "I told one of the women that worked for my client.." Now I can't say that I'm 100% certain about this, but I think it's actually: "I told one of the women who worked for my client..." No biggie.

And although I hate to be a pest about such things, you also wrote in your post: " I have no problems with Obama's race, but I have a tremendous problems with his socialist policies." Did you mean to say you have no problem with Obama's race? And did you also mean to say you have "a tremendous problem with his socialist policies? Cause that's not what you wrote. Well, we all makes mistakes now and then. But you're the language expert from the south, not me.

And while I'd really like to leave it at that, there's even more. I just love the poetic license you employed when you wrote:"I predict that Obama will be viewed by history in the future as being the worst U.S. president in history."
"...will be viewed by history in the future"? Wow. Now that's some funky use of the southern English language. From which university did you get your English degree from? Oh, wait. I ended that sentence with a dangling participle. My bad! I'll have to remember not to forget that rule in the future.

And while I'm really loathe to be picayune with you, you also wrote:
"Every thing he had promised on the campaign trail has turned out to be absolute lies." Did you mean to write: Everything he promised (no "had") on the campaign trail has turned out to be an absolute lie?" Because that would have been grammatically correct. If you were trying to be grammatically correct as a gun owner, that is.

And. golly gee willikers, you also wrote: " He said there would be no lobbyist in his administration, yet the White House is full of them." Did you mean to say lobbyists, since the plural would jive just right with your subsequent sentence-ending term, "them".

And your concluding bon mot: "and we will be guaranteed of the White House in 2012". Guaranteed of the White House? Heck, my illegal immigrant Mexican houseboy writes better than that.

Well, maybe you religious Republican gun owners from the south just speak different. Or is is "speak differently"? I'm sure you'll tell me...

Anyway, thanks so much for setting me straight on how to spell "there".

Somehow I have a feeling I just witnessed some of my tax dollars at work

You are correct in your assessment of the recent Republican candidates. Yes, our party really needs to get its collective act together. If we do, I really do anticipate many victories in 2010.

I find it ironic, and hypocritical, that the left is complaining about much of the country's voters dissatisfaction with Obama considering how much the left belly-ached about George Bush, as you do here, over the last eight years. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. Talk about becoming tiresome. The left leaning media couldn't get enough coverage of anything that disparaged W. BTW, I didn't agree with everything that W did in his presidency, but I admire two things about him: he didn't waffle every time the winds of the political polls shifted (pretty much a two to three times/week occurrence during the Clinton administration) and he kept the country safe from terrorist. His policies made it possible to catch the four terrorist that were thwarted in the past few days.

BTW, I am a Republican mainly because the Democrats have gone from the party of the working man to the party of the Hollywood Limousine Liberal elite and seem to run as anti-Judeo-Christian values as they can get. I am really just a conservative, but in our two party system I feel that the Republican party is the only real choice. I am probably more what George Herbert Walker Bush meant when he asked for Compassionate Conservatives. For me, I'm an environmentalist, to a point (don't put a two inch long fish above the livelihood of a good part of Central California's Central Valley) believing that it is our moral responsibility to take care of the earth and environment and our fellow man (this is the Church's responsibility, not the government's). I could go on, but my point is that the Democratic party has just become ridiculous and that pretty much leaves the Republican party.

First, it wasn't just the left belly-aching about Bush. It was probably a good 80% of the entire population, myself included as a lifelong Republican.

Second, Fox News is the most-watched news channel and is about as far to the right as you can possibly get. Who is this left-winged media you speak of? Comedy Central? Even if you said CNN and/or MSNBC, they're much more neutral than Fox and much less watched.

Third, please don't say that Bush kept us safe from terrorists. He was President on 9/11/2001.

Sorry, OP

Not that this matters at all, but didn't you say in another post that at one point you affiliated with the communist party?

.

There is no way that you could say CNN or especially MSNBC are more neutral than Fox... Much less watched for sure, but if you are going to say Fox is as far to the right as possible, you can't really believe the others are more neutral.

Here's what I think about your politics whether your a republican fat cat, or a democratic liberal or hell if your somewhere in-between.

"POLITICS ARE BORING!! YA POLITICS ARE ****ING BORING!" Screeching Weasel.

Well if it doesn't matter, and you read it before, why are you bringing it up? Please be direct if you have something to say to, or about, me. And do not confuse an economic ideal with my political beliefs.

If there were a cable channel called Liberal Lefties that aired Jon Stewart 24/7, it would be more neutral than Fox. Fox News is a flippin' joke and their agenda is both fraudulent and obvious.

Saying it directly, when I saw you say that you were a lifelong republican in this post, I thought I remembered reading something in a post where you mentioned being a member of the communist party. That is the only reason I brought it up, and that is why I said it didn't really matter (as in, it didn't matter for the topic in this thread). I do not pretend to know what your political beliefs are, and I didn't mean anything by it. (BTW, however you define communism, belonging to the Communist Party is a political standpoint, not just an economic ideal.)

We will have to agree to disagree on this one, I would say the same about CNN and MSNBC (fraudulent and obvious)... then I would go further and say that their bias is the reason nobody watches them.
