Shouldn't that be "another" Christian viewpoint?

You are right, we are not the greatest country in the world anymore. Greed and selfishness have taken over this country, and it's starting to take its toll. That's why we have one of the worst education systems in the world -- our kids are being taught it's better to have things than to be a good person. I love Canada, have traveled there many, many times, and love the people. I have thought for a long time about moving there -- that might become a reality if we yet again put greedy, hate-mongering fools in the White House!

I've come to realize during this election there is a battle going on. Many people like to speak their minds, while others are more reluctant to do so for persecution of our feelings.

I spoke with my dad tonight and he put a lot in perspective for me. Dad�s always have a way of doing that (at least my dad does). He told me tonight that things in life happen for a reason. Sometimes we may not always see that reason until it has come to pass. He said the ideas that you may have could possibly be wrong. He said you may be right, but always leave the option open that you could be wrong.

He told me that there is nothing I can do personally to change the minds of others, so to save some �frazzled nerves�, just read and listen but keep your opinions to yourself, and don�t look on the bad side when the guy has not even been sworn into office. He said if there are articles of interest you want to share that is one thing, but just keep your feelings to yourself. He said just read, watch, and listen, and in time we will see whether we have elected a good man and I hope for the countries sake he is a good man.

He told me things are going to happen for a reason and you just have to learn to adapt otherwise you will just be in turmoil for things you cannot control. Nobody knows what the future will bring. So on those words of my dad I truly do hope President elect Obama becomes one of the greatest Presidents in history.

I heard a person say that if the constiutents of the republicans are rich, it is in their best interest to keep them rich; therefore, if the constituents of the democrats are the poor, is it not in their best interest to keep them poor?

people in general suck and are selfish and have no desire to contribute to their communities, and these are almost always the same people that whine and moan about how they don't want governemnt involved.

get money for a bailout? Wall Street and the banks did, but WS and the banks are HOLDING ONTO the money for BONUSES, not to bail themselves out. GM and Chryler need it to KEEP JOBS.

The bailout was wrong in the first place because everyone would want money, but that's the only thing they could come up with at the time. What's done is done but I don't think we ought to keep throwing money out there. NP and Barney Fife are too free with money that's not theirs and they should be thrown out of office.

Sheesh...that would be stupid. Once we nuke them, everyone will pull out the nukes and you can kiss our planet good bye. You won't have to worry about co2 emission and going green then.

What should happen is that the UN grow some balls and actually stand up to bullies like this instead of cowering back like they have always done.

What does this tell you about quacks that run other countries? Threatening to nuke us unless we apologize? And you are worried about us waterboarding. Give me a break!!! These are also the psycho freaks Obama wants to have tea and crumpets with to discuss things. What a joke! Good luck with that one Barry.

If the UN apologizes, that gives N. Korea some control and that is what they are wanting. N. Korea is all about making threats to make them look big and bad anyway. We should definitely keep a close eye on them, but we shouldn't bust down the door yet. I personally feel other countries need to step up and carry the big stick for a while. Not only can we not afford another war, but we don't have enough military numbers to do it either. Why can't other countries grow some balls and actually stand up to bullies like this? They always make us do it and then they complain about us. Like the French.....wouldn't they be speaking German if we didn't put our nose in their business and help them?

Rev. Wright Says 'Them Jews' Won't Let Obama Talk to Him

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he doesn't have any regrets over his severed relationship with President Obama.

In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn't spoken to him since they parted ways last year, because "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."

He suggested White House advisers were keeping the two separate.

"Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright said, according to Virginia's Daily Press. "They will not let him ... talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is."

Obama left Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago last year following the very public controversy over his inflammatory sermons.

Wright sporadically has granted media interviews and made public appearances since. In the Daily Press article, he also claimed that the president did not send a delegation to the recent world racism conference in Geneva for fear of offending Jews.

"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.

Wright said he voted for Obama in November and has no regrets over their severed relationship.

"Regret for what ... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I've been preaching for 20 years?" he said.

of money from the government. That is just wrong. Of all people that deserve money.....it wouldn't be hollywood!

Another group I've heard complain are athletes. They are complaining because sales of tickets are down. Well.....I'm sorry but I think it is absolutely ridiculous that these athletes make as much as they do anyway.....maybe if they would take a pay cut and lower the ticket prices.....maybe more people could afford to go to games.

I live in Indiana and I am a Colts fan but I am thoroughly ticked that they threatened to leave Indiana unless we built them a new stadium. We built them a new stadium at the expense of the taxpayers and the Colts have sucked major butt since then. I would have told them to pack up and leave and not let the door hit them in the butt on the way out. They make WAY too much money to sit around and make demands like that. They could have easily built their own dang stadium....jerks. Just think about all those local people whose property taxes skyrocketed because the colts demanded a new stadium. I wonder how many people in the Indianapolis area lost their homes because they couldn't afford their property tax? Makes me sick.

And why in the world are the Army and the Air Force, etc. sponsoring race cars? They are pretty much taking taxpayer money to pay to sponsor vehicles that costs a butt load of money. That really chaps my ars too. ARGH!

leaning polling companies, Mrs. The fact, Obamanation's poll numbers are dropping and dramatically. However, I don't think he cares a fig. His real agenda is to destroy the economy, and when anarchy comes and his mask removed, he'll institute marshal law, and set himself up as dictator. That's his plan and those who pull his marionette strings. He is tooooooooooooo stoooooooooopid to do it on his own. That's what he has surrounded himself with left-wing America hating "experts." You'll be singing a different tune before long.

for 20 years know it's 'twice as well to be thought half as good"? And besides, that slogan was stolen from the feminist movement. A woman has to work twice as hard and do twice as well to be thought half as good as a man."
