"I would never stay in a church for 20 years if I did not agree with the theology of the pastor."
I guess all Catholics must be pro-pedophilla, anti-homosexual, and shun birth control if they stay in the Catholic church for 20 years. |

Ah, words from down under. Under a rock! How refreshing to hear from you grandsons of criminals. |
|
Call me what you like, but I have sense to know a muslum when I see and hear one..Americans no longer have the guts to fight a war...as soon as the going gets tough people like you want tuck your tails, and run..They know all they have to do is stick with it and the Americans will run same as Veitnam.... |
|
No, what you call sense is stupidity and who gives a crap what you say anyhow? You don't vote here and have no say in our affairs. You've not a damn idea what you're talking about, just another idiot spouting BS, cattle truck! |
|
No, you are not worthy of a reply, just get your towel ready, grow you a bread, stay close to home and you will be right. |
|
Grow me a bread?! I'm not worthy of a reply?! Why, because you do not have one. It is an absolute lie that Obama is a Muslim and so what if he is? I'd prefer her had no religion. You wouldn't care to tell us how one Muslim would manage to take over the United States and then what? It is you that is not worthy of a reply. Unbelievable. To the point of this thread I want to say this, when a man's judgment is worrisome to us, do we not mean he will not do what I think he should? |

I myself would have thought Tiger Woods would have been a better selection, at least he is an American... |
|
Yep |
|
Just wandering if Penal colony, has his bread and his turban ready yet... |

Inside Obama’s Acorn By their fruits ye shall know them. By Stanley Kurtz What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama. This is a story we’ve largely missed. While Obama’s Acorn connection has not gone entirely unreported, its depth, extent, and significance have been poorly understood. Typically, media background pieces note that, on behalf of Acorn, Obama and a team of Chicago attorneys won a 1995 suit forcing the state of Illinois to implement the federal “motor-voter” bill. In fact, Obama’s Acorn connection is far more extensive. In the few stories where Obama’s role as an Acorn “leadership trainer” is noted, or his seats on the boards of foundations that may have supported Acorn are discussed, there is little follow-up. Even these more extensive reports miss many aspects of Obama’s ties to Acorn. An Anti-Capitalism Agenda To understand the nature and extent of Acorn’s radicalism, an excellent place to begin is Sol Stern’s 2003 City Journal article,“ACORN’s Nutty Regime for Cities <http://www.city-journal.org/html/13_2_acorns_... ;.”(For a shorter but helpful piece, try Steven Malanga’s Sol Stern explains that Acorn is the key modern successor of the radical 1960’s “New Left,” with a “1960’s-bred agenda of anti-capitalism” to match. Acorn, says Stern, grew out of “one of the New Left’s silliest and most destructive groups, the National Welfare Rights Organization.” In the 1960’s, NWRO launched a campaign of sit-ins and disruptions at welfare offices. The goal was to remove eligibility restrictions, and thus effectively flood welfare rolls with so many clients that the system would burst. The theory, explains Stern, was that an impossibly overburdened welfare system would force “a radical reconstruction of America’s unjust capitalist economy.” Instead of a socialist utopia, however, we got the culture of dependency and family breakdown that ate away at America’s inner cities — until welfare reform began to turn the tide. While Acorn holds to NWRO’s radical economic framework and its confrontational 1960’s-style tactics, the targets and strategy have changed. Acorn prefers to fly under the national radar, organizing locally in liberal urban areas — where, Stern observes, local legislators and reporters are often “slow to grasp how radical Acorn’s positions really are.” Acorn’s new goals are municipal “living wage” laws targeting “big-box” stores like Wal-Mart, rolling back welfare reform, and regulating banks — efforts styled as combating “predatory lending.” Unfortunately, instead of helping workers, Acorn’s living-wage campaigns drive businesses out of the very neighborhoods where jobs are needed most. Acorn’s opposition to welfare reform only threatens to worsen the self-reinforcing cycle of urban poverty and family breakdown. Perhaps most mischievously, says Stern, Acorn uses banking regulations to pressure financial institutions into massive “donations” that it uses to finance supposedly non-partisan voter turn-out drives. |
