When Atheists Attack

I appreciate the clarity of this article. I think it demonstrates the superiority complex of the left. The idea that a regular person couldn't possibly have the talent and insight to be an effective President is ridiculous. Obama has made it clear that he has no clue how the world works. He has education, but no wisdom. And the idea that Christians are nuts who want to go bomb happy? Have you ever known a Christian?

Ah the smell of revisionist history. Even Recent history has a way of being revised and reinterpreted to make ones own view point SEEM rational. The ability to take a beating and keep on ticking is something few politicans have, but Palin seems to be handling the most vicious attacks in modern political memory with grace and style.... I agree with G-Dan...the CANDIDATES should be grilled by the media...OBAMA included for his support of a racist religious paradigm for the last twenty years. It is amazing how blind to the bias exhibited by the elite media in their defense of Obama and their trashing of Palin. Anyone who is blind to this difference is either a total idiot or simply one of the sheep that has bought into the "anything but what we have" syndrome. Obama had DONE nothing. His words are hollow, and his name dropping associations as shallow as the quickly formed alliances demostrate...Paul Volker? An Economic advisor? The Fed chairman who gave us 15% interest rates and nearly broke the back of our economy during the Carter years? ...Thats what we need, 1970's thinking about todays problems. GIVE ME A BREAK... The Democrats AND Republicans, who insisted that EVERYONE should own a home...whether they qualify or not...Who required that banks treat unqualified applicants as MINORITIES in order to keep federal approvals...were not just motivated by GREED... The investment banks who bought all that bad paper so mortgage companies could keep issuing subprime loans...were counting on consistancy by the FED..Sadly tho, most who want to place blame dont even know what it means to SELL SHORT. The Obama blame game is just more finger pointing for political gain.

I found it quite amusing that the writer made such an issue of Palin's religious leanings. His conclusion that her religious affiliation made her unfit to be vice presidential material, was a great example of political satire. He's probably going to vote for McCain and just wanted to kick Obama's legs out from under him. i mean honestly...... the Reverend Wright's hate filled rants about America and white people surely turned Obama into a racist, right?

Bravo! You hit the bullseye Sam! Never heard her once mention the US Constitution in her RNC speech. Correct me if I'm wrong because the only time I could bare her voice was that once. How well does she know the US Constitution? She seems to remind this "elitist" of a certain power in Europe of the 1930's and early 1940's.The similarities are frightening. Thank God for higher education!

Comment: Sam is usually a rational guy but he has totally embraced dogma here. I have always had a lot of respect for him and it makes me sad to see his partisan rationalizations. Surely he must now understand how people find religion. Sam has jumped the wave.

Wow. Believing Christians should be precluded from being leaders of our government? What an amazing assertion. Virtually every one of our presidents has been an active Christian. Lincoln called upon God in every speech he gave about the Civil War. Simply amazing--you really don't live in this country, do you, Sam? Do you have any idea how out-of step your opinion is among the voters in this nation? No wonder we celebrate mediocrity, if this inanity is the best the "elite" can deliver.

And Sarah Palin? I'm a mom of 8, and if I had to do neurosurgery on my child, you can bet I would find a way to do it. When you are a mom, the buck stops with you. No one will care more about that child than its mom--she will beat every bush and track down every lead she can until she can help her child. Do I want a mom who has learned not to blink in the White House? You bet. I'd take a mom who wouldn't blink over an "expert" who really was not invested in the outcome. If nothing else, she would find the experts who did really care.

Go, Sarah! Save us from the likes of Sam Harris . . .

Why had we never heard of Palin before McCain sprung her on us? Of all the people he could have chosen, why her? What is her greatest accomplishment? Why is she any better than any of the other candidates he could have chosen. Nobody ever even knew she existed before now. Just because she's a mother of five doesn't make her vice presidential material. I'm a mother of five and I don't think I could qualify. Ihhhhavstrereligous affiliaa

Bizarre is all I can say to describe your comments lamenting Palin's lack of experience, when I look at Obama's lack of experience made up for only with the gift of a slick tongue rivaling the very best of the old snake oil salesmen. I say bring it on, the American people are not as dumb as you think. Obama is toast.

OK, do a find and replace on your computer, finding every reference to Palin and replacing it with Obama, and then you can recycle this column and save yourself some time before the deadline approaches for your next column.

Palin compares very favorably to Obama even on the issue of experience and it was pretty clear that Charles Gibson embarassed himself by coming off so condescending in his interview. My thoughts: http://nmorton.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/obama-doesnt-compare-to-palin-on-experience/

Your belief that faithful Christians are unfit to lead this country ignores the reality of history. Your belief that only the elite are qualified to lead demonstrates exactly how out of touch you are with the sentiments of the majority of the American people.

Sam Harris, you are an extremist. A simple-minded, Left-wing extremist. Nothing more.
