He isn't going to go near a Mosque.

Color me not at all suprised that Obama's becoming a hypocritical dickhead. I just didn't expect it so soon.

It's one thing to go back on his pledge about public financing. But now he's repudiating his stance on the new FISA legislation, and suddenly supports this drastic curtailment of our 14th Amendment privacy rights. It's a shameless and disgusting attack on the Constitution, one Obama said he'd never support ... before he was the leading candidate for President.

Pfft, it's only June. I can hardly wait to see how disgusting he'll get by November ... and what a disgraceful president he will turn out to be ... LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.

I found this website that takes Dobson to task for his comments about Obama and the Bible.

I think there needs to be more people speaking up when this fool presumes to talk for all Christians.

Dobson is a bad man, but I don't think there was anything out of the ordinary about what he said. It basically boils down to, "We're powerful constituents, and we get to try to muscle politicians to do what we want because we want it. We don't have to convince anyone it's for the common good."

There are limits to teachable moments. When Thurgood Marshall was litigating Brown and its predecessors, he ran like hell from all involvement with the American Communist party, even though they supposedly had the black man's interest at heart.

If I were a demonized American Muslim, I would vote for Obama in a heartbeat because I would feel safer (domestically) with him as president. Of course, for him to get to be president, he probably has to win Florida.

It's like when Sharpton or Jackson is presumed to speak for the black constituency, or some spokesperson from NOW is presumed to speak for all women, or someone from CAIR is presumed to speak for all Muslims.

By the way, you may not like Dobson, and that's cool, but his book about raising boys is freakin' right on the money.

Every time I read scaeagles posts next to that avatar, I hear it in Obama's distinctive voice. Heehee.

scaeagles · 06-26-2008, 08:16 AM

Ok - that just ruins my day. I just read the post above in his voice. Blech.

Nope. The man has absolutely no credibility in my book. The guy is a hate monger.

Now that the US Supremes have (thankfully) ruled that the 2nd amedment does indeed gaurantee rights to the individual citizen to keep and bear arms, I wonder how Obama will address this. He has been in favor of gun control in Illinois and in the US Senate, and the majority of Americans are indeed in favor of gun rights (no - no specific link to a poll, but I have read them, and even Gore in 2000 recognized this and campaigned accordingly).
