Of course they are implying Obama is anti-religious, it's red meat to the the mind numbed idiots who support any Repug. Fear is what motivates Conservative supporters; gay marriage, the supposed assault on Christian values, terrorist, illegal aliens, etc..Pick your boogy man and it feeds the ignorance and fear of their supporters.
The theology of politics or is it the politics of theology. Gentlemen!! You would do better job kissing babies at a county fair than you are at trying to scrutinize a man's religion. Your latest political campaign gesture sounds pretty desperate. Four years ago it was the "birth certificate issue". Now, it is his religion. I think you should move away from this "America's Got Talent" campaigning into the real issue that face our country and world.
There should be a rule in politics that all you can do is promote your own Good ideas for fixing things. And that you are NOT allowed to drag the other guy thru the mud. It would be much simpler to just look at both "Good Ideas" and pick the one we prefer.
People, let's get something straight about religion. They are all lies. Religion is mythology. We cannot any longer follow the myth. It had its day as a governing body, when men were ignorant of the world around them, of their history, of knowledge in the "heavens",when medicine would be considered witchcraft, leeches were considered medicine and women would remain in the house whose only job is to reproduce and cook.
This is the 21st century by the Roman Catholic calendar. It's time we prepare to meet the real observers of our planet, who would think us barbaric, murdering each other over mythology, politics, and resources. They would call us Barbarians too dangerous to even possess a bomb yet mythology based governments have them....I'd say our planet would be marked for demolition.
And if your "religion" is to practice NO religion that is your right. Exactly what the present self-righteous religeous right wing is against. You are ENTITLED to believe "religion is mythology" and NOBODY should be forced to agree with you. That is why I say government should represent ALL the people. So I am Christian and NOBODY should be forced to agree with me. We should EACH get representation by our government EQUALLY! Get my point?
Are these guys running for President or National Preacher? All they seem to talk about is religious dogma. Nothing about the economy, debt, international relations.
by Dan1801 February 22, 2012 10:50 AM EST Well, they blamed Bush...uh? Obama can open up federal land for drilling and allow the pipeline. He can resolve the Iran situation, he can promote more IRAQ production.
Bush's VP (Cheney) met with the top 5 oil company executives behind closed doors in a "secret national security related meeting", and allowed them to set America's national oil policy. Within two years, gas prices DOUBLED from $1.40 / gallon to well over $3.35. When Obama does something similar, only then can you rightfully make the comparison.
There are MORE drilling permits than EVER before, one pipeline isn't going to lower energy prices, Iraq basically threw us out of their country but we're supposed to somehow tell them what to do?
And since you alone are the ONLY PERSON in the ENTIRE WORLD that knows how to "solve the Iran problem" in a way that will lower energy prices, why don't you share them with the president so that he may employ your great and wonderful idea?
It almost unheard of that we would have a president like Obama to attack religious groups and force them to pay for contraceptives that are directly against their religious believes. The biggest joke is Obama's compromise which forces these institutions' insurance companies to pay the cost. I guess this administration just has no idea of health insurance or has never heard of the fact the most of the institutions are self insured, which means they have pay for something that is against their core religious beliefs. Another example of how this administration could care less about the constitution or individual rights.
Forced to pay for contraceptives? Really? Why are they buying contraceptives if it is against their religious beliefs? Because, surely you do not believe people would be forced to buy contraceptives if they don't want them?

Don't be silly apple and oranges.
It's YOUR comparison - not mine!

Trout, we had this talk before, gas prices and the debt are a BIG reasons not to support Obama.
Now it's "gas prices" - like the president can do anything about them.
