We got “reporting” from Iraq alright, the Urinal reporting enemy propaganda:

{{{{Dozens of fighters ambushed a U.S. patrol in Sadr City, Baghdad’s main Shiite militia stronghold, on Tuesday, firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun bursts. (Oh my, what will we ever do! Oh, mookie’s vast panzercorp armies are on the march, oh, they are shooting rocket propelled grenades with machine gun bursts, shriek, shriek, scream, scream!!) >>>>The U.S. military said 28 militiamen were killed.<<<<-Urinal}}}}

Hahhahahaha, “stronghold,” ahaha, “ambushed,” hahaha, you stupid, sullen goony liberals, such morons.

Another “raise your taxes” liberal dimokrat cheating on their taxes:

{{{{Senate candidate Al Franken says he will pay about $70,000 in back income taxes in 17 states going back to 2003.}}}}

Do I detect a pattern here?

~~~~~

This is what an anti American lib sees as a “failure:”

{{{{As a 21-gun salute sounded, the gunmen opened fire. Karzai and foreign dignitaries were whisked to safety by bodyguards. All three assailants died —- one from a gunshot wound and the others apparently by killing themselves with a bomb, Saleh said.-Urinal}}}}

If the target survives and it is still a complete whining collapse of the government, at least as it is portrayed by the kandy as-s AJC, then what was JFK, RFK and MLK, a total ruination of the United States?

{{{{At least one policeman was arrested in the assassination attempt, deepening concerns the Taliban have infiltrated the >>poorly paid security forces.<< The attack also exposed the vulnerability of the capital to militants.-Urinal}}}}

According to that paragraph, if it is translated from goony speak, the Afghans must have a really jam up, well paid security force.

Another Bushie success.

{{{{The pique of Obama, while less ridiculous than Wright’s, is in its own way just as small and individualistic: only now does he object to Wright’s outlandish rhetoric as it impedes his path to victory. All the dispute comes down to is: (1) Wright is upset that Obama called him an over-the-hill crazy; and (2) Obama is upset that Wright called him a pandering pol and threatens to foil his election hopes.}}}}

{{{{Obama’s “anger” (interspersed with the usual strained irenic qualifiers) expressed at Tuesday’s press conference was largely self-regarding and showed no real honesty, since he still acts as if Wright’s extremism is a revelation to him and he fails to take any responsibility for indulging his lunacy — a trait which America’s enemies (as evident in Hamas’ endorsement of Obama) have already noticed.-Neumayr}}}}

~~~~~

{{{{Make no mistake about it, this speech has really painted Barack Obama into a corner. In it, Wright used the term “black church” no less than 25 times, making it very clear that should Obama wish to repudiate him, he must take on the entire black church; or at least the one he attended for 20 years. Indeed, Obama has said that “I can no more disown [Wright] than I can disown the black community.” }}}}

{{{{So either Barack Obama subscribes to what he heard at Wright’s church for 20 years, or he is, like so many politicians, a religious fraud.}}}}

{{{{What keeps these areas closed are exaggerated environmental fears, strong prejudice against oil companies and sheer stupidity. Americans favor both “energy independence” and cheap fuel. They deplore imports — who wants to pay foreigners? — but oppose more production in the United States. Got it? The result is a “no-pain energy agenda that sounds appealing but has no basis in reality,” writes Robert Bryce in “Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of ‘Energy Independence.’”}}}}

{{{{Unsurprisingly, all three major presidential candidates tout “energy independence.” This reflects either ignorance (unlikely) or pandering (probable). The United States now imports about 60 percent of its oil, up from 42 percent in 1990. We’ll import lots more for the foreseeable future. The world uses 86 million barrels of oil a day, up from 67 mbd in 1990. The basic cause of exploding prices is that advancing demand has virtually exhausted the world’s surplus production capacity, says analyst Douglas MacIntyre of the Energy Information Administration.

Hey dunce, here’s a clue for you. The story really has nothing to do with Rev. Wright. The issue isn’t what Rev. Wright said, it’s whether or not Obama AGREES with what Wright said. It’s about the character of Obama, not Wright. Wright is a blow hard white hating bigot from Chicago (based on HIS comments) who isn’t running for office and has no bearing on this country. What IS relevant is why Obama sat in the pews for 20 years listening to Wright’s hate speach if he didn’t agree with it. Kinda hard to explain, eh? I mean, how many of you libs have been sitting in church pews for 20 years listening to sermons you don’t agree with?

Good luck trying to explain this recent “revelation” Obama had that Wright’s speaches are filled with white/American hate. I’m sure that’s something he just started doing recently!!

Oh, and btw, don’t lay this scandal at the feet of the R’s. HRC’s the one fueling this fire. Funny, eh?!!!!!

RB and Road Scholar,

I feel that Wright needs Obama to fail because then he can not play the victim. Being a victim is how he’s made his millions.

When thrust in the national spotlight, people change and do weird things that no one would ever believe. It’s like when a family member dies and all the family who so loved each other start stabbing each other in the back to get the prized dining room table.

I don’t believe for one second that Obama believes the things that Rev. Wright has been saying. If anything, I feel sorry for him.

I’m sure that most of his sermons were great sermons, which is why I don’t question why Obama was a member of his church.

National attention like this, can bring out the really worst in everyone.

There are no disgusted moans, catcalls, or hurling of vials filled with fake blood.

But I have to admit, your campaign to turn fence sitters, undecided and Reagan Democrats (among others) into “anybody but the GOP” is going swimmingly. Why, just this week, you’ve slandered the Roman Catholic Church with the pedophile label. Now you slander mainstream Protestant faiths for hating America. Hint: very few do. Hate is soooo un-Christian. Since you profess to be a typical GOP conservative, you are pushing huge numbers of decent Christians into the Democratic camp, since if Republicans are like you, they want nothing to do with your bigotry, slanders, and outright lies.

You must stay up late at night thinking up totally unfounded charges against people who don’t think exactly like you say you think.

“Fox Noise Garbage” - you may want to reconsider.

Obama had a lengthy interview with Chris Wallace last Sunday. Said he’d enjoy it and would be back.

Hillary’s on Bill O’Reilly’s show tonight and tomorrow.

Obama’s committed to going on BOR’s show.

Wouldn’t want to see their comments and interviews referred to as “garbage.”

In other news, last evening I was listening to Newt Gingrich interviewed on a radio show. Interviewer asked the standard question about Rev Wright and Newt gave the popular response “How could Obama have been associated with him for 20 years and not known… not seen or heard…”

I thought,” Newt! Ask someone who’s been divorced!

Better yet, why don’t YOU tell us? Your previous marriages were about 20 years each, right?”

I saw Newt boy on John Stewart last night. He was doing the same too, but Stewart was bringing up the Hagee thing with McCain which I think is equally as absurd.

He also played some Scalia interview soundbites. No comment :-)

No, Wright isn’t running for POTUS, that’s my point - Obama is, and the Wright thing doesn’t define Obama’s character.

I am still somewhat religious but haven’t attended church since I was 18 (don’t need to explain that one).

I saw things in baptist churches which were every bit as bad as I’ve seen from Hagee and Wright.

I saw bigotry, racism, and a slew of hypocrits. According to baptists, people practicing any other religion are going to hell.

How new situations would come up and how they’d act. How same situations came up and how they then acted differently. Ask how they changed over time. Ask how the other stayed the same but the (all caps) perception of the situation changed.

Newt’s been through it twice. He should know. If he doesn’t, more’s the pity.

I too am an Episcopalian (Southern Baptist mother, agnostic father) and my Southern Baptist preacher, when I was growing up, said those exact same words (that all who were not Baptists were going to hell) on a weekly basis. He also told me that I was going to hell quiet frequently because I had a lot of questions he didn’t like.

I have a cousin who is an extreme evangelical - whose son commented upon the death of Pope John Paul the whatever - the most recent pope - that he would pray for him because he knew he was now in hell because he wasn’t a Baptist.

Yes, it does happen, and yes, some do believe that. Trust me.

Also, one could paint all members of the United Church of Christ with a broad brush of liberal anti-Americanism if one just listened to the sermons of the most Wrong Rev. Wright.

During the April 16 debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, moderator George Stephanopoulos brought up “a gentleman named William Ayers,” who “was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s. They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and other buildings. He’s never apologized for that.” Stephanopoulos then asked Obama to explain his relationship with Ayers. Obama’s answer: “The notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was eight years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn’t make much sense, George.” Obama was indeed only eight in early 1970. I was only nine then, the year Ayers’s Weathermen tried to murder me.

{{{{{Though never a supporter of Obama, I admired him for a time for his ability to engage our imaginations, and especially for his ability to inspire the young once again to embrace the political system. Yet his myopia in the last few months has cast a new light on his “politics of change.” Nobody should hold the junior senator from Illinois responsible for his friends’ and supporters’ violent terrorist acts. But it is fair to hold him responsible for a startling lack of judgment in his choice of mentors, associates, and friends, and for showing a callous disregard for the lives they damaged and the hatred they have demonstrated for this country. It is fair, too, to ask what those choices say about Obama’s own beliefs, his philosophy, and the direction he would take our nation.}}}}}

And this endeavor looks particularly off the wall, if not plain ignorant.

One of the best quotes in your link:

“If you have a losing hand, you’re going to use every amount of rhetoric you can to distract people from the fact that you don’t have any facts,” Sean B. Carroll, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, told me in his lab last week. “And that’s what ‘Expelled’ is all about.”

The very position the flat earth society finds itself in as they desperately rely on that tactic…

mm - by the way I just reread the article in you link and it is truly a case of ‘swiftboating’ the truth. That article is quite one-sided and prejudiced and when you get into the body of the article there are all sorts of contradictions. Evolution is, after all, a theory, which by implication means that it has not been ‘proven’. Gravity is a law. It has been proven.

Also, Darwin spent years breeding pigeons into every conceivable variety, with a plethora of characteristics and instincts. In the end, not one mutation. No new species was produced. In other words, he spent decades disproving some of his basic hypothoses.

I am not saying that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and was created in 6 days. That is fallacious. I am saying that the universe and the Earth are just too well balanced and too orderly just to have ‘poof’ happened. There had to be a plan, an intelligent design. That is the point of Expelled as far as the science goes. However, the larger point of the film has to do with academic freedom and freedom of speech and old-fashioned censorship; censorship of the nature which was practiced by the Nazis and the Stalinists, by the way.

Evolution, of course, IS an observed fact. The theory of natural selection explains how it operates. And saying “But it’s just too COOL to be accidental!” is neither a valid theory, nor an intelligent critique of the reigning one.

Devil,

I would go see the movie. No problemo. It is probably fairly entertaining.

And I am open to the possibility I would learn something new. Perhaps even relevant.

And unlike some here, I am not threatened by opinions, evidence, etc. contrary to my own non-immutable beliefs.

I don’t have the freaking answers!

And neither do you.

But the scientific method is completely impartial. It does care if you are conservative, liberal, religious, atheistic, black, white or green. Until something BETTER comes along to explain the workings of life on this planet, all the teeth gnashing about natural selection and the fundamental basis of modern biology that is Darwin, is just that.

And the uncomfortable FACT remains that the Christians have had to be dragged kicking and screaming (and worse) into the modern scientific age. There are many, many, many instances of this.

Their track record in these matters is beyond horrible. It is one of brutal suppression of any new ideas or information contrary to their dogma and teachings.

Again that is an undeniable fact.

So for them to now pretend they are the victim in this regard is quite transparent. And ludicrous.

As is this new “argument” that teaching ID/creationism/Garden of Eden in science classrooms is a “freedom of speech’ issue.

Utter nonsense. And a losing hand.

BTW, I fully support teaching the Bible, Koran, etc. - at the college level, as an elective and as part of a literature/history/religion curriculum.

But understand well, the days are LONG gone when a few misguided but extremely powerful people will be able to insert it at every opportunity and every level of society, whether in children’s science classrooms or in the halls of government.

So forgive me if I find little comfort in your assessment that this is one of the fairest documentaries you have ever seen…

Rev. Wright’s betrayal: a lesson to Obama supporters

Rev. Wright may be correct about his assertions, and I do agree with a lot of what he says. The US is guilty of a number of atrocities around the world, manipulating world events to its own gain, placing dictators (Pinochet, Suharto) to “combat” communism, but who ended up oppressing its own people. The US is the only country in the World to have used nuclear bombs - after the War being practically over. Japanese people in Nagasaki and Hiroshima are still born with genetic disorders.

But nevertheless, Rev. Wright betrayed Obama.

There is no way you can justify what Rev. Wright has done, if not revenge and pettiness. Obama wants to build bridges between generations: to understand the imperfections of the previous generation without denouncing and rejecting it - but to accept it as a consequence of the times each generation has lived. Furthermore, he is capable (like most of us) to filter the good from the bad, specially from a family member. My father always told me that helping the poor and those who are in need is a virtue - but at the same time, he believed that homosexuality was a disease, and once he said something borderline racist about blacks. Obama didn’t have a father when growing up, but found a pastor who became his mentor.

Rev. Wright’s language is crude, unpolished and offensive at times. He knows that, and he knows that his words will be associated to Obama at a critical time. And to make things worse, he hired Nation of Islam’s security. I am sorry, but Rev. Wright is a total douchebag. But he teaches us a lesson.

That our individual principles are less important than getting Obama elected as President. Because as much disagreements we might have with Obama, the alternative - McCain - is much worse. It is not about making Fox News legitimate, but to exploit Fox News to disseminate the message. A lot of potential Obama supporters are not from the Left, but moderates, independents and those who watch Fox News - so grow up. Obama didn’t sell out Kos, or his liberal principles. He cannot be 100% in tune with the Left, his message needs to be packaged for moderate audiences.

Rev. Wright thinks his message, his ego and his principles are more important than Obama and everything that his candidacy represents: a complete reversal of the last 7 years. Will we do the same?

I know technically, you’ve stopped speaking to me (AmVet, too)

It has to do with “Niceness.” If we’re nice to them, they’re nice to us.” Also had do do with “Naughtiness.” Their politicians and soldiers are being naughty by doing what they do. Since the protestors know better, they’re going to remove the means of naughtiness, so the soldiers and politicians have to behave. And that makes the protestors “wise” and “good.”

Haven’t gone back and checked, but if my memory is correct, part of Obama’s association with Ayres was on a board appointed by Daley. The same Daley who prosecuted Ayers’ wife for her crimes. The same boardon which Obama associated with bankers and industry leaders. Then he did attend a meeting at Ayres’ home - Ayres, an influential guy in Chicago lib politics.

That story at 1:02 brings a real life perspective from a kid that Ayers’ group tried to murder. Once again it calls Obama’s judgment into question and his judgment is the only thing he is offering.

However, Obama and the Left want to demand an end to the probing of the years-long Obama-Ayers association as irrelevant. Never mind that Ayers has openly bragged of bombing the Pentagon. Never mind that Obama and Ayers voted to give $75,000 to Rashid Khalidi, a Yasser Arafat protege in the PLO, during their tenure with the Woods Foundation. The difference apparently is in the target of one’s hatreds; as long as the hatred was directed at the American government, the Left believes it to be irrelevant.

The Woods Foundation also made very large grants to anti-gun groups while Ayers and Obama served together.

Given SUPERIOR alternatives it will change as quickly as a weather vane.

It is ever changing and flexible. This is the beauty of scientific discovery.

And why you are so scared of it.

But to your dismay, it just ain’t gonna play out that way.

Honestly, I doubt you really care about whether Darwin was right or wrong, or to what degree. I believe that as science is such a direct threat to Christianity, your motives are to see that it is discredited.

Mr. Devil,

“But many ATHEISTIC scientists really do believe that through research and scientific pondering that all of the answers are attainable”

How is that any different than your belief that a Jewish carpenter who preached a message of God’s love and grace is for all of mankind, and not just the Jews, got cruxified, rose from the dead, drifted off into heaven and will someday come again to judge the living and the dead - also has all the answers?

Likkkoduh is Bush’s Burka Boy,

You are a mean and vile person. Goodness gracious, your filthy mouth should be washed with soap. What gives you the right to make up such lies about my Andy? He has no naked pictures on his bedroom walls whatsoever. I would never allow such a thing. By telling these lies you insinuate that I’m a bad mother and it just brings tears to my eyes. I do the best I can.

For the record the only thing my Andy, aka AJC Man has on his walls are posters of Bobby Sherman, Shawn Cassidy and Brian Boitano!!!!! I assure you they are ALL fully clothed!!!

Furthermore I have contacted the ajc.com to let them know that I intend to sue them for defamation of character. I will NOT put up with this nonsense and will come after you too!!

There is nothing nasty about a double-axle, shame on you!!!!!!!!!

As long as we’re discussing judgment:

“Hillary Clinton loves to tell the story about how the Chinese government bought a good American company in Indiana, laid off all its workers and moved its critical defense technology work to China.

It’s a story with a dramatic, political ending. Republican President George W. Bush could have stopped it, but he didn’t.

If she were president, Clinton says, she’d fight to protect those jobs. It’s just the kind of talk that’s helping her win support from working-class Democrats worried about their jobs and paychecks, not to mention their country’s security.

What Clinton never includes in the oft-repeated tale is the role that prominent Democrats played in selling the company and its technology to the Chinese. She never mentions that big-time Democratic contributor George Soros helped put together the deal to sell the company or that the sale was approved by her husband’s administration.”

Full article here:

Link: Pres Clinton, Soros and the Chinese

Is Hillary responsible for actions put forth by her husband’s administration? No. But she oughta find a better story. Or tell the whole story with a “just another example of how I’ll follow my own mind” twist.

{{{Science is fluid, just as is theology. I agree.}}}

Rubbish.

And agree with me on what? I asserted science is dynamic and religion is NOT. How you missed that is anyone’s guess.

{{{But many ATHEISTIC scientists really do believe that through research and scientific pondering that all of the answers are attainable.}}}

Even IF so, it is totally IRRELEVANT. And a silly red herring.

You seem hung up on “these” scientists and your allegations regarding them. And so use it to discount an enormous field of almost universally accepted and verified study.

{{{That is the point of the scientific method, a method which, by the way, works well. But some things cannot be proven.}}}

YET. But we are always getting closer and closer and closer. And that scares MANY of you faithful. Science has in fact indisputably proven many things that were once unknown and apparently to the Christians “unknowable” and “unprovable” - such as the Sun, not the earth, being at the center of our solar system.

{{{That life just ‘poof’ happened cannot be proven any more than Pi can be calculated to a whole number.}}}

Another absolutely ridiculous analogy.

It has been proven that Pi is not a whole number.

From my original post on this matter: “If you have a losing hand, you’re going to use every amount of rhetoric you can to distract people from the fact that you don’t have any facts,”

Again, Devil, where are your facts concerning this euphemisticallynamed Intelligent Design? Where is the data? The evidence? ANYTHING to support it at all?

And stating the obvious such as the theory is not yet 100% accurate or has this, that or the other problem or that there are holes in the fossil record does NOTHING to cast much real doubt on it’s overall scientific soundness and validity.

At least not in the world of biologists and geneticists and the people who know the most about it.

Just as with man-induced global warming and vaious other subjects you wish beyond wish would just go away.

But, there are now so many ethical, moral, intelligent people who care about this world and not some grand illusion of paradise in the next, it won’t…

Dang, it’s an Imam with his head screwed on. Goin’ against the Brotherhood.

Sheikh Yusuf al-Badr, a prominent Egyptian imam, has issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims from taking part in a general strike protesting rising food prices. The strike, organized by the Muslim Brotherhood, is slated for May 4 to coincide with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s 80th birthday. Al-Badr told Arab television network Al Arabiya that he opposes the protest and that anyone who stops work is not thinking of the country’s best interests. He added that striking “is a perversion imported from abroad.”

The Muslim Brotherhood sounds like the Democrats in Congress. Could they be the perversion about which he speaks?

Kuwaiti Oil Minister Mohammad al-Olaim said that OPEC might call a special meeting before a scheduled meeting in September to address the issue of skyrocketing oil prices, Agence France-Presse reported April 30. The price of oil recently rose to almost $120 a barrel.

Please remember, May 1 is National Prayer Day.

U.S. Marines who arrived in Afghanistan in March to reinforce NATO forces captured the town of Garmsir in the country’s southern Helmand province from Taliban militants April 30. Coalition troops had attacked the town several times but had been unable to take control of it

Please remember that EVERYDAY is a good time to pray for our coalition forces.

Oil prices dropped to $115 per barrel April 30 on news that striking union workers in Nigeria will return to work, media reports said. The strike had shut down almost all of ExxonMobil Corp.’s production in the country, normally about 800,000 barrels per day.

Prayers answered. Ours and….

Five people suspected of being Taliban militants killed themselves April 30 by setting off an explosion in a house in Kabul, Afghanistan where they were surrounded by security forces, citing an unnamed Interior Ministry source.

Iraq’s government will use force to disarm the Mehdi Army if the militia does not give up its weapons on its own, citing Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Maliki said the Mehdi Army must disarm, stop interfering in state affairs, shut down its courts and turn over wanted fugitives, or else risk military assault. The government’s goal is to disarm and dissolve the Mehdi Army, the Islamic Army and al Qaeda, al-Maliki added.

Palestinian militant factions have agreed to Egypt’s proposal for a cease-fire to begin in the Gaza Strip and eventually extend to the West Bank, Haaretz reported April 30, citing an unnamed Egyptian official quoted by Egypt’s Middle East News Agency. The official said the proposal outlined a “comprehensive, reciprocal and simultaneous truce” that will be implemented gradually. The news comes as the militant factions — including the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Resistance Committees, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and others — are in Cairo for talks mediated by Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman.

Now that Palestinian story is where things get murky. Some sites are saying that Egypt has agreed to open its’ borders which would allow weapons smuggling. Other sites say NO.

If there is internal unrest, why would they open their borders to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians? Doesn’t make sense…they’re short on everything. Not enough to go around.

Oh well, I’ll wait.

BS. Paleontologists are getting further and further away from proving evolution as the origin of man or even in finding any species that has become another. Perhaps Blowhard thinks he’s got another Piltdown Man to spring on the ever willing evolutionary biologists. They tend to fall for anything.

Jeez, in 1960 it was the REPUBLICANS who thought JFK was a Vatican puppet. Moran. And in any case, does that make slandering the Roman Catholic Church RIGHT?

You know this leads directly to a larger issue, you are aware that you belong to a political party that the vast majority of members believe that religion is “the opiate of the masses” and views people like you, assuming that you are not just patronizing me, as an idiot that believes in the tooth fairy, right?

Democrats are mostly atheists? You truly live in another dimension. Prove your atheist claim!! You can’t.

Thanks again for the good work, Andee. Your disinformation campaign is truly mind boggling,
