When Atheists Attack

The next administration must immediately confront issues like nuclear proliferation, ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (and covert wars elsewhere), global climate change, a convulsing economy, Russian belligerence, the rise of China, emerging epidemics, Islamism on a hundred fronts, a defunct United Nations, the deterioration of American schools, failures of energy, infrastructure and Internet security

It seems odd that democrats are using the inexperience card to attack Sarah Palin. What in Obama's background makes him any more qualified to discuss these issues. Until the situation in the middle east was explained to him by military advisors, he thought we should just ignore it. Now that he's learned more, he thinks our withdrawal should be conditional. He now thinks a nuclear powered Iran is a serious threat to the world & states he isn't taking any response off the table (including a military response) to prevent Iran's getting a nuclear bomb. Over the past week or so, both candidates have had to seriously educate themselves on the economy.

The argument that Sarah Palin shouldn't be vice president because she doesn't have enough experience just doesn't fly when the other guy is running for PRESIDENT without experience

markd1...you are off a few years and a continent or two....who cares about what a student of Soviet history thinks? Perhaps you'd feel more comfortable in China, or North Korea, orr hey maybe even Russia (former U.S.S.R) Our country is not based on a Marxist philosophy...what have you been smoking????????????

The reason why I agree a lot with the author of this article is the fact that myself I discovered with pain that a good majority of the american people value mediocrity and I am wondering what they are going to pass along to their progeny. I remembered people working hard, making sacrifices for their child to have a better education which was synonym of better tomorrow. After all this was part of the american dream. AMERICA WAKE UP

Senator Obama to include prescriptions for Vicodin and Norco in his national health care plan. "Karl Marx said that religion is the opiate of the masses and I just want American to be able to have access to the real thing." said the candidate at a rally in Toledo Ohio.

Dear "RightThinkingWoman"

Actually, most of our Founding Fathers were deists, meaning they believed God created the universe but was not involved in its day-to-day operations.

I am a small town (contemperary) Christian whose children ride horses (and like cowboys). . but. . . thank you for putting my thoughts into words. I sure hope many others "see the light"!

Obama denies that key foreign policy advisers are Anti-Israel. "They had to pretend to be Anti-Israel in order to get tenure," said the candidate. "I should know. I taught at the University of Chicago."

Palin's appointment resonates with any student of Soviet history. For extended periods throughout Soviet history, those with education and experience were derided for their elitism. They were shot, imprisoned, exiled or simply sidelined from politics - depending on the period - while "typical" people who supposedly better represented the masses - factory workers, farm laborers, etc. - were elevated to positions of great power. The result was a repressive regime which collapsed in large part through its own mismanagement. Electing Sarah Palin to office would be a tragedy, in the classic Greek sence for we have the power to choose our fate. Her vision is narrow, she appoints school friends to positions over those who are more qualified, and is supremely self confident despite her gaping ignorance. Let us learn from others' mistakes, and vote in favor of candidates who are themselves educated and who will draw from the wonderful, wide range of educated and experienced people that America has to offer when forming an administration. I choose Obama/Biden and the diverse talent they will invite into their administration.

Key Democrat warns of more terrorist attacks if Obama is not elected. "You aint' seen nothing yet," said Representative Kwanzi Mifune today. "You think the world is angry at us now? "

Sam Harris opinion much like Nobel Laureate James D. Watson the pioneering DNA scientists with respect to comparing Africans and Europeans. A very elitist questionable paradigm with respect to a person's ability to make decisions. The best minds don't necessarily translate into great leaders.

And what does John McCain's or Sarah Palin's education have to do with the leadership of this nation? How many years ago did either of them graduate from a college or university? Get real people..did we forget about Bill Clinton's sexual escapades, the the huge issues surrounding our economic status with the Carter administration? It is evident that you guys are just very biased towards someone who has not been tarnished by Washington politics. In addition, I cancelled my subscription during the Reagan admninistration because of the same reason...

Sarah Palin has a lot in common with a very famous Christian. The problem is that the way in which she defines herself as a Christian demands that she represent only one extreme religious point of view and can therefore only represent those who agree with her. She represents as her immediate Republican Party predecessors do, TYRANNY, wrapped in a flag, and brandishing a bible. It's frightening that people are buying her bull, just like she's selling it! Make no mistake Sarah Palin is a very talented POLITICIAN, but she has used her very feminine wiles to fool millions of naive and unsuspecting Americans that she's just like y'all - "JUST A HOCKEY MOM". If you believe that then I have a BRIDGE THAT I WANT TO SELL YOU!
