I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Was that before or after he worked with unrepentant terrorists and went to Pakistan on a trip he's never mentioned much about? And before or after his cocaine habit?

who's military? cubas?
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

"And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue."

He "briefly considered" that a short stint in the military might help him win a few votes in his future career as a Presidential Candidate.

Not serving in the military does not make you a worse candidate.

Cheap pandering, however...

3,337 votes (including mine) for Hell No.  84%.   13% voted NO, just 3% believe him......

The holes getting deeper, keep digging Barak and you'll end up with a Dukakis-sized Election "Victory".
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I don't watch wacky George but on another site I saw this post.

On This Week Sunday morning Obama made the comment that people should not question his Muslim faith. George Stephanopoulos interrupted him and said "You mean Christian faith" and he then corrected himself. Freudian slip perhaps


I googled obama muslim roots and one of the sponsored ads is a link to the barackobama site. The ad is entitled:

Barack Obama Muslim Myth
Barack Obama is a Christian.
Get the facts at his official site.

He just keeps digging.

So far, that video is the only "proof rolleyes" I've seen of his so called Muslim faith. If he really were, I'm certain someone could present some hard evidence. To many though, the lack of real evidence, is evidence enough.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith
