Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ," Obama said. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."

    The Christian dino capitalizes God unless I'm writing about some pagan god like Apollo or Thor or Ra, etc.
    To write "your god would be" is A-OK with my delicate little tender sensitives, though.
    I am dino--
    Hear me ROAR!

    I know the truth won't get taught, that was my point. Public schools are a HUGE problem working against logic (and freedom), and for the leftist advancement. Yet this goes grossly unnoticed... And we're all funding it.

    No liberal teacher would teach that...but they will teach reparations.
    If accurate history was taught, they would learn that it was the Republicans that gave them their freedom, and it was Democrats that formed the KKK. Nothing has changed in motives....

    Maybe they would know different if the truth about hand outs were taught in school. Who funds it and how that process happens and that it isn't voluntary or happy charity. its theft. But doing so might stunt the giant liberal voting base currently being churned out by public schools.

    Good points, but I see them as mentally being slaves, not physical. Your assumption is that they embrace the "outside" world off the plantation. But since we are into generations of "moochers" the question I ask, "do they know differently?" You don't know what you don't know as my spouse tells me. Yes, they mooch but I am not sure mentally they know anything different and in this context I see them as "slaves" to the system of welfare. My thinking is that it is not necessarily their fault - it is the consequence of well intentioned legislation which anyone in The Gulch would have predicted would be a disaster. Dr. Ben Carson is the poster person for someone who successfully made it off the planatation. I use the slave / plantation metaphor for its "shock" value when speaking to my liberal friends. For them, welfare is a good thing. For me, I am getting really tired of supporting the plantations.

    OK, I am not sure that I agree that we should go to war with Isis. There is a great part of me that pleads for justice for those who have been brutally slain and their families. However, isn't the reason for the slayings that we are meddling in their affairs in the first place? So shouldn't we then simply withdraw our soldiers to stop the retaliation? Or would we be better off withdrawing our soldiers and as many innocents as possible, and ending their existence?

    Moochers and slaves aren't the same thing. One produces via their efforts, the other consumes via theft. The evil, playing the man in the middle, is the government. Either side is under its thumb, either by choice or by threat.

    Unfortunately, I cannot disagree with you. That is the fish or cut bait point!

    But I can still feel sorry for the other 90% who just want to sell popsickles and t-shirts.

    1.6 billion muslims on Earth. If only 10% are the radical elements funded by legitimate islamic governments and businesses, we have 1.6 million threats that could be anywhere. While I do not wish to see genocide I would much rather stack every one of their bodies than see an American die at their hands.

    Radicalism in islam is a islamic issue and should be handled by the islamic people. If not, for whatever reason, then the harvest takes all the stalks.

    if he had (which would only happen in some parallel twilight zone universe), then I still would have followed up with "...aaaaaand....your plan isssss....." Ayn was a woman of action and she created works that reflected her philosophy. She was not perfect, most of us could have argued with her on any number of topics, but nobody is. Respect comes with backing your words with action.

    "Obama's goal was to insult one group of people which elevates another group of people. create the tension and infighting. "
    In the excerpts I read, he did precisely the opposite of that. He tried to bring people together and condemn extremism in a way that wouldn't sound self-righteous.

    I am largely in agreement with you. I do feel that there are a very large number of what some folks on this list call 'sheeple' who (in this case) are Muslims who do not want violence, just want to get on selling t-shirts or whatever. But if they stick their heads up, someone shoots them, so they creep around and try to stay alive - which means agreeing with everything someone with a gun says. These are the people who I do not want to napalm...

    The black and white seeds are mixed and I do not have an army of myrmidia to separate them out.

    Oh don't worry, I don't expect anything remotely constructive to come from that steaming pile of self-righteous narcissistic poo. I was merely making the point to rbunce that some people are very talented at using a lot of words to say nothing.
