You've never read the NFL handbook, so how can you truly know how the game is played? Or even if you do, you don't know all the rules that the game is played by. Where are the "seedy lies and distractions" in two sentences? Please.

Well, let's see how your imaginary friend does at running the country. I'll tell you what, wait 2 years and let me know if you think he made it better or worse. My bet is it's going to be very bad and you will pray for Capitalism to come and save the country. Remember, that's how this country became great.

-Freedom!

How dare your force your one sided ignorance on anyone.. Look past your incredibly small viewpoint and recognize that Only Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the light.. And Its not my desire to force King Jesus on you but believe me with out Christ..."THE FOUNDATIONAL LEADER OF AMERCA- one nation under God..." America would have been invaded and everything.. Lets us wisdom and not speak on thing that we don't actually understand. May God make manifest himself to you! PEACE!

The New Deal. The Great Society. Those catchy names. The name for Obamas plan should be The Raw Deal!

There is no god and there was never a jesus. You're dreaming! Wake up! Smell reality!

Obama has teh favor of God and is actually one of teh first Presidents working both with the People of God (Americans) and the favor of God which means..... Amazing things happen and will happen everyday.. Money will move like mountains... EASY!

JESUS IS LORD!

I dont need to read the back of a shampoo bottle to know what it does. If if looks like a duck and acts like a duck then it must be a duck.

Ive never read the NFL handbook either, but I know how the game is played. Your argument is a falacy, full of seedy lies and distractions.

If you haven't read the handbook of communist thinking, how can you just out and out say that someone is a communist? Know what words mean before you use them, and don't just bandy terms about as if they were swearwords.

Well said. Look at how much Russian is spending on defense. It is not enough 1/10 of US budget. To conclude, the big military spending is for nothing more than imperialistic ambitions.
