Desk,
because what Obama is doing is such a snowjob that it needs total unpacking. You should enjoy Prager if you are intellectually honest about analysing it. The point is, for you, it is there, and he did say it, because he wants to ignore human evil, and he wants you to feel good and everyone to lub each other.

Wherever you are standing, I'm glad I'm standing quite a long way away.
I do hope you never find a candidate for local or national office that you can unequivocally support.

"..the only reason to read the news is to collect and categorize lies."
This would be a good and honourable objective, if a limited one, if you had shown any evidence at all of being any good at spotting lies. To the contrary you show evidence of believing all sorts of things without the security check of adequate doubt and scepticism.
No Heterosexual AIDS? That's enough of an error to undermine any confidence in assertions made in the same piece of writing.
If a person believes that, they might believe *anything*.

Chris.

Belk,


Most recently I noticed the movie producer B. Godawa reviewed IMITATION GAME as the most subversive film of our time.


Wow!
There has to be some seriously odd idea of "subversion" underpinning that remarkable statement.
I might have opted for the "Fast and Furious" series, with only half a tongue in cheek.

Chris.

I feel the bolded part is meant to be ironic.

The western civilization is changing constantly and is the sum of all people who are living in it no matter of their political views, their faith, culture, gender, language or origin. You can't forbid other people to have a different point of view than yours. Maybe you disagree with the current progress of the society but you can be sure that even all the liberals and progressive thinkers will find umpteen things they dislike. Don't focus on the river because it changes the way it looks to you every second. Don't get angry about things you can't change. Focus on things which are timeless and are not a waste of your energy, money and time.

I don't have a link but I heard some 20 minutes of the Wed. or Thu. speech at the so-called summit on so-called extremism. He was quite clear: he meant that Islam was involved in the founding of our country.

It's almost impossible having honest discourse with extremist right wingers, you simply say and argue things that are not true. It's like in your mind reality is bent and twisted until it represents what you want to believe rather than the truth.

Here are some snippets of his speech


And so we must recognize that lasting stability and real security require democracy. That means free elections where people can choose their own future,

You are flat out lying INterloper, you are lying not just a little bit, but a lot of bit. You can't come out and make a claim "Hey Mr. ABC raped Jane Doe last week" and then when asked about your proof you simply say, "Well, I don't have proof but I heard it from someone who heard about it..."

You are alleged all this nonsense and when asked for proof you have zero proof... I read the speech and in no way shape or form did he say anything even remotely close to what you claim.

Please stop lying. Just because you want to believe something doesn't make it true.


This is part of your problem right here, in typical extremist fashion you depend on someone else to spoon feed you your thoughts and tell you how to think.

I read the entire speech from start to finish, nothing even remotely close to what you claim was said in that speech.

please stop lying.

Also, Please explain how a Christian Pastor would preach how Islam was responsible for the founding of this country?

Rev Wright has a few rants caught on tape, but those rants are valid and represent a POV from the black community. As a big black man who has repeatedly had police draw down on me with guns for no reason and no probable cause whatsoever I can attest to a lot of what Rev Wright has to say. I was an officer in the military and held a top secret clearance during several altercations with overzealous police trying to violate my constitutional rights. So to me, Rev Wright isn't too far off the mark and represents a lot of how I feel. So don't try to present him as some crazy loon. I mean, haven't you been watching the news lately with police gone amuck? So how crazy is he? He is not. No matter how desperately you'd like for him to be.
