For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

"I pledge to be a servant of the President."

"I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama."

Horrifying.  Appalling.  Stomach-turning.  How can anyone say such things, and not know how wrong they are?  ???

Edit:  Dumb question.  I forgot that Barack supporters do not share traditional American views of politics.  :(

They aren't "supporters", they are "followers".  Big difference.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Some people deserve followers. Obama isn't one of them.

Stupid Ashton whathisname also had an editorial run across the country that was along the same lines.

Pretty pathetic and scary stuff.

Which of them said it? I didn't hear it while viewing.

So everyone is pledging to do things they should have already been doing like being good fathers and mothers to their children and helping the less fortunate?

All beacause Obama is now president?

Well... they're pledging it.

But, like most liberal ideas, it's their intention that counts.

They won't really follow through with it anymore than they did before. It will still be conservatives donating the most time/money to charitable causes.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

About three quarters though.

What we need is some kind of virtual media-nation, or a "matrix" based on Liberal ideals, like "The West Wing" or something where all the liberals who emote, rather than reason, can get their fill 24/7 of change, finding common ground our enemies, wealth distribution, gun control, and class-warfare.

Meanwhile, the rest of us just get on with running the country and our lives. Since the liberals merely need to feel good about what's going on, and aren't saddled with using logic or reason to look at what really is going on, this should be a perfectly suitable solution for everyone.
I promise not to duck.
