I am proud to support our president, and we both know what is at stake in this election. That's why I'm doing my part to assure that Mr. Obama remains in the White House for FOUR MORE YEARS. Sure, the deranged, willfully ignorant, low-information GOP voters will come slithering out of the woodwork, as always, to parrot the usual vitriolic, low-brow canards they mindlessly absorb from the undereducated screamers they listen to on their favorite commercialized neofascist radio and tv shows, but none of it will ever stick. That's the real power of education - something the deranged paranoiacs of the debased far right base will never have because they were too lazy to better themselves.
This seems more like a rant and less like an agrument. But in regards to the one real agrument you made, "And why should the Government teach your child about sex? I guess it's the mentality of "Let Uncle Sam do it" once again,I would like to see some of you fiberals take responsibility just one time,just once. " I believe the government pushed teaching absentance under Bush, so "fiberals" as you like to label them aren't the only ones on the government teaching people how to live their lives. As far as Socialism, the Democratics agenda is about as much about true Socialism as Republican agenda is about corporate dictatorship. Those are both labels set forth by the the two parties propaganda media machines. Both lie, both mislead.

Look at our famous forfathers and you will see John Adams is the closest to what you are terming as a Christian now. As far as media in the America, is controlled by both parties. As far as God being apart of our Nation's Founding the only place they are referenced in our Constitution is in the statement "in the year of our Lord" which was the proper way to state the year during that time period. Our Currency didn't mention him until the Union added it in 1863 to help moral against the Confederate Army. And the phrase "One Nation Under God" wasn't added to the pledge until 1954 to help our nations moral against communism. It is time to truly do your research Jan B. Actually look at sources that are not donaters to a political party. That aren't trying to sell and agenda. Because all the "facts" you posted in your post, are opinions that are being sold by propaganda machines. Please don't say "IT IS A FACT !!" unless it actual is a fact. I find most people only scream about saying facts are always selling opinions. The Original attitudes and beliefs of this country were on religious freedom, and if you read the documents that founded this country. And the historical accurate accounts of the men who developed this country (not the battle communism fake historical garbage from the mid 1900's). This country was based to combat the government and religion being forced on it's people.
"Romney blew it and revealed how seriously maladroit he is when it comes to foreign affairs and national security," in regard to recent embassy killings.
As someone who watched the sale of my house collapse two days after the S&P downgrade, losing $45,000 for what I had to finally reduce it by to get a new buyer, I watched every piddling and insane Congressional dysfunction on the debt ceiling increase debate that led up to that downgrade. Obama had a deal with Speaker of the House John Boehner, but the idiots in the Tea Party component of Boehner's GOP caucus killed that deal, and the US government went right up to the cliff; S & P simply watched in shock and disbelief as Congress played games with our future. Only someone who had not watched what went on, or someone who is trying to lie for the advantage of Romney, would make the statement that you made. It was the House of Representatives, and not Obama or the Senate.
And, yes, you can pick the names of Democrats who have done similar things. Of course we could also identify a number of ministers and priests who have tawdry records as well. The point is that, as the old adage states, people who live in glass houses shouldn 't throw stones, and that includes Obama-haters like you, Mr Blank.
We can disagree about conclusions, as long as we don't create an alternative universe as our basis.
That's total bull crap, NSI, and you know it. Reagan wasn't responsible for those 241 Americans killed in that terrorist attack, and Obama is not responsible for Tuesday's terrorist attack in Benghazi. Besides, Ambassador Stevens was loved by the Libyan people, as was made clear on several news programs today, but you probably wouldn't know that because you don't listen to objective news programs. You should be praising the martyred Ambassador, who took more risks with the Libyan people than many foreign service envoys would take. And you should be expressing sympathy for his family, and the families of the other brave Americans whose lives were lost in that terrorist attack. Blame the terrorists, and don't blame the American Government. But, that wouldn't serve your political cause, would it?
Even Sen. McCain's former Chief of Staff, and senior advisor in his 2008 campaign, told Romney that his comments were way out of line: "But this is hardly the issue or the moment to demonstrate a greater resolve to take the fight to the president. Four good Americans, brave and true, have just died in service to their country. They were killed because some of the Libyans who fought a civil war for freedom, or cynically pretended freedom was their cause, do not really approve or understand freedom’s values. Nothing said or done by the president or anyone in the U.S. government is responsible for the violence that led to their deaths...But, please, let’s refrain from making this terrible loss an occasion for more unfair and hyperbolic sound bites in a campaign that is already depressingly oversupplied with them on both sides. For now, let us just bury and mourn our dead, and strengthen our resolve to defend the American values and interests they died for, with the courage and patriotism they exemplified." That is a man who loves his country, more than his political party, and you need to take a lesson from him, NSI.
