He makes me sick!!! As a christian I pray Americans see through all his lies and vote for the right person for this country which is McCain 100%

quote*** Comment: Obama is not a christain ,nor does the b------love americia he only wants a muslin to become president Why dont some of you muslin lovers ask him why he wont salute the flag of the country he says he loves????? ****quote



I do not know what a "muslin lover" is, but I don't think anyone wants cheesecloth for president. I also am sure Obama loves America...and knows how to spell it.

Newsweek is not ABC I realize. It is nevertheless disconcerting to see Gibson condescend to Palin about prayer and war as if she were a 10 year old still believing in Santa Claus. Obama, on the other hand , comes to Christ as his Savior like a modern Augustine. He is tortured and wracked with spiritual angst as he under goes a journey which touches all the great philosophical and religious themes of history. Like Gibson, however, I am curious whether he will pray, and exhort Americans to pray, when he sends more troops to Afghanistan to get bin laden out of his foxhole. I await your headline article on his answers. Perhaps you can get Charlie to ask as well, I hope he keeps his his reading glasses, unlike his last Obama interview.

Obama is not a christain ,nor does the b------love americia he only wants a muslin to become president Why dont some of you muslin lovers ask him why he wont salute the flag of the country he says he loves?????

Liar Obama says he loves americia ,he says he stays away the cult churchb he adored for over 20 years why dont someone ask the b------ why he wont salute the american , flag ,he will lie and say any thing ot get a muslin elected for our president

Obama is not a Christian in the sense of relying on Jesus and all men are equal. He believes in Black Theology which says that whites are the cause of the problems. How about the blacks who sold their own into the slave trade? How about the I am victum attitude and I am owed repayment for everything that happened 100 years ago. How about the fact that black on black crime is the cause that most of the ones in prison are in prison. 75% are born out of wedlock? Fathers are not there for their kids. Why do we hear that we are the problem and not the behavior that they choose to participate in eveyday. Al Sharpton and Jessey Jackson are users of their own people. I am a big believer in taking charge of your own life and future. I make no apologies for being a white man, and being a Christian. I have met many who are not victums because they are self motivated and hard working. Getto? How about get to work and be faithful to your children and stay with a woman when you father a child. If this makes me a racist then so be it as I am only responsible for the truth...others are responsible for their own actions.

??? If you think about it John McCain plan for forty-five new nuclear power plants is reasonable, needed and attainable. Our current 108 nuclear power plants supply twenty (20) percent of our electricity requirements. This is amazing considering that it has been thirty years since there has been new construction on new nuclear power plants anywhere in the United States. Construction on new nuclear power plants has occurred throughout the world but not in the United States thanks to Democratic leadership. In France, nuclear power supplies 80 percent of their electricity needs. Because 108 nuclear power plants are generating twenty percent of our needs, an additional 45 nuclear power plants will only increase the percentage of nuclear power to roughly 28 percent of our needs well short of French eighty percent nuclear power generation of electricity. John McCain proposals are reasonable and will help lead us to energy independence. Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to study the issue for another 30 years. By that time the only remaining United States builder of nuclear power plants General Electric will have gone the way of Westinghouse and sold its nuclear construction division to a foreign owned company Toshiba Corporation of Japan. Given the Democratic led hostile business environment for nuclear power in the United States, we will have no United States owned companies capable of building nuclear power plants.

The reality is that a few nuclear power plants will have a greater contribution to our energy independence than all the contributions of solar, wind, and thermal energy. Only the proposals of John McCain on nuclear power, offshore drilling, wind, and solar energy will make the idea of United States energy independence a reality.

Does the Democratic leadership under Barack Obama expect current electric power plants to provide all the huge electricity requirements to recharge and power all the new hybrid and electric cars will be coming on line. There will have to be new power plants built and these must be nuclear plants. If Democrats think that wind or solar will recharge all of these new cars, they have to be joking because the wind does not blow all the time. The new sources of additional electricity to charge up all these cars will have to come from nuclear energy.
Why is there such an ingrained irrational paranoia about nuclear energy and waste disposal among some Americans especially the Democratic leadership under the direction of Barack Obama. Importantly also why is it somehow okay for hundreds of thousands of Navy sailors to have served for nearly thirty-five years aboard nuclear power American aircraft carriers and nuclear powered submarines and air force personnel to handle nuclear bombs but Democratic leadership under Barack Obama will not consider to even remotely assume any risks involved with nuclear power. Is it okay for our servicemen to be exposed to alleged risks but not the Democratic leadership who oppose nuclear power. This paranoia is particular evident with the Democrats acceptance of risks that are associated with other aspects of modern American living. Forty thousand people die every year in the United States in auto accidents but there is no outcry to ban all automobiles in the United States. Bridges have collapsed recently in Minnesota and tunnels ceilings in Boston have fallen but there is no consensus on eliminating bridges or tunnels. There have been airplane crashes that have also involved injuries on the ground but there is no outcry to ban air travel. There have been repeated rail and ship accidents but no outcry to ban railroads or ship travel. The irrational fear involving nuclear power and waste disposal has no justification. American people undergo multiple medical and dental xrays and CT scans yearly and have no fear. TSA airport screeners and medical staff work daily around xray equipment, fluoroscopes, and CT machines and do not experience adverse health consequences as a result of their work exposure. There were no documented adverse health events associated with the Three Mile Island release of minor radiation in the 1970s and no payments for health losses were ever made involving lawsuits related to that accident. The containment vessel held at Three Mile Island. In light of most Americans acceptance of risks associated with automobiles, trains, planes, and ships, the fear on the part of the Democratic leadership of nuclear power can not be viewed as rational. John McCain's proposals to build 45 new nuclear power plants along with his other energy proposals on conservation and renewable energy will help America achieve relative energy independence in the near term and long term.

On the day of the announcement of his selection to be the Democratic nominee for vice-President, Joe Biden was quick to go on attack and use the Bush clone metaphor in describing John McCain. Cloning of course involves copying genes. Issues involving clones, copying and plagiarism seem to be recurrent themes in the life of Joe Biden. It has been reported that Joe Biden withdrew from his 1987 Presidential primary race against George Dukakis and Dick Gephardt due to reports of plagiarism of a speech by Neil Kinnock a former British Labor Party leader. More damaging are reports that during his first year at Syracuse University Law School, Joe Biden lifted five pages of material out of a total fifteen page legal research and writing class memo from a Fordham Law Review article. Joe Biden received a grade of F in the legal research and writing course and had to repeat it the following semester. Copying and mimicking behavior is sometimes said to be the sincerest form of flattery but plagiarism falls into a special category of a backhanded compliment because it implies a disdain for the original author and your audience. Did Joe Biden believe that none of his professors would take the time to look up his citations or have read or be familiar with the Fordham law review article on his topic product liability. Many Catholics would be offended that a fellow Irish Catholic like Joe Biden would use Fordham Law Review an academic product of his own faith to commit plagiarism.

Obama delivers speeches better than most - almost as good as Reagan. But when he speaks extemporareously, from the heart, on the fly - he is clueless. His response to the Russian invasion of Georgia was just one example - that's the guy we want answering the White House phone at 3AM (like the Clinton ads used to proclaim). Scary. Hid religion has nothing to do with his lack of qualifications to be running our country. His race has nothing to do with this contest - at least it should not have anything to do with it. A qualified black like Colin Powell, Connie Rice - they get my vote in a heartbeat. Obama needs to grow up first, mature, then try some other time. He is just not ready.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ? IS WHAT ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS BELIVE IN AS THEY FOLLOW THE CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE SET BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS GIVEN TO US IN THE HOLY BIBLE. MR. OBAMA SEEMS TO CHOOSE AND PICK WHATEVER PART OF THE SCRIPTURE FITS HIM ON A PARTICULAR DAY , THIS MAN CANNOT TRULEY BELIVE HE IS BORN AGAIN AND A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST AS IT IS CONVIENIENT TO HIM ...PLEASE PRAY THAT HE WOULD COME TO JESUS WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND BECOME A TRUE CHRISTIAN ...A TRUE CHRISTIAN DOES NOT CRITIQUE ANOTHER BUT PRAYS FOR THAT OTHER PERSONS SOUL .....GOD BLESS ALL AMERICANS!!!

On what Christian path was McCain taking when he abandoned his disabled wife and 3 kids for a younger, richer beer heiress only to then abandon her after her stroke - to learn to walk on her own?

I guess the pro-Obama people wanted to bury all the discussion of Obama's failure to adhere to the tenets of Christian faith. Those who want to read should scroll down to the posts several days ago.

I wonder if the media can be any more bias toward Barak Obama without wearing his campaign buttons and raising money on his behalf. I think the American public is smart enough to recognize a media fix. When I watched the Keith Olbermann video on Obama I was reminded what a good sportscaster he was and what a poor and biased far left liberal commentator he really is. Thanks for helping me decide my vote Keith. McCain 2008!

While Barack Obama???s story about his spiritual journey is enlightening and inspiring from a personal point of view, it is also symptomatic of a pervasive problem in our political process???the need to lay open one???s religious or spiritual affiliation or rooting in order to appeal to a segment of the population that really believes that this is an issue of overriding importance. Over the last several election cycles, perhaps even going as far back as the Carter campaign, there has been a growing demand for this type of ???confession??? or testimony. What has happened to the notion that what we really need to know about our potential leaders is that they are good and true? It does not really matter one iota what their religious rooting is; what is important is what motivates them to want to take on the responsibilities inherent in presiding over this nation. Do they take the Constitution seriously? That is more important than their religious affiliation. Will they choose the best advisors and officials who have the welfare of the people foremost in their consciousness rather than the interests of the powerful few? As a Deist and rationalist I could care less what a man or woman???s religious background is. I want them to demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt the sincerity of their words and ideas. I want them to convince me that they have my and the nation???s welfare as their prime concern and that they will do everything necessary to achieve amity and balance on the world scene. Above all else I do not want them to try to convince me of their religious commitment and then turn around and conduct themselves in such a way that while they are spitting on our collective backs they will try to convince us that it is really only raining.
