The direction this country is headed should strike fear in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated.

Another reason to vote the bum out in November!!!

It seems, agains all odds, that the reports about Chik-Fil-A commenting on gay marriage are distorted by media outlets. The man was talking about traditional marriage in his interview, not gay marriage. Lifting up traditional marriage is not at all a specific attack against gay marriage.

I'm only glad this riled my wife up enough to let us go there for dinner!

Dick Morris slams the media for their biased reporting.

The media is trying to create a sense of momentum and of inevitability about the Obama candidacy. One benighted Newsweek reporter even speculated about a possible Democratic landslide.

On Friday, I saw the real numbers. These state-by-state polls, taken by an organization I trust (after forty years of polling) show the real story. The tally is based on more than 600 likely voter interviews in each swing state within the past eight days.

The trend line is distinctly pro-Romney. Of the thirteen states studied, he improved or Obama slipped in nine states while the reverse happened in only four. To read the media, one would think that Romney had a terrible month. In fact, the exact reverse is true.
...
If he carries all three of these states and also wins all the others where Obama is now at 50% or less – Iowa, New Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey — he will get 351 electoral votes, a landslide about equal to Obama’s 363 vote tally in 2008.

The strong probability is that Romney does, in fact, carry Florida, Ohio, and Virginia and a share of the other states where Obama is below 50% of the vote.

So don’t believe the garbage being put out by the media. The attempt to portray Romney as not catching on and as dropping in the polls is ludicrous. It is, at best, the product of incompetent polling and, at worst, the result of deliberate media bias. But Romney is winning and expanding his lead each week. That’s the real story.

So far. John Nolte makes his list:

1. Romney Killed My Wife -- This howler, courtesy of a pro-Obama super PAC, has sucked most of the oxygen out of yesterday and today's news narrative. In-between denouncing the ad, Romney's attempting to work through the clutter of this distraction to hit Obama for dismantling welfare reform.

2. Outsourcer-In-Chief -- This lie came courtesy of the Washington Post, who, in direct coordination with the Obama campaign, slammed Romney for outsourcing jobs he didn’t outsource.

3. Romney's Gaffe-tastic Overseas Escapades -- To make Romney look like a stumble-bum and destroy any hope he had of looking presidential or like a statesman, the corrupt media created gaffes out of whole cloth, going so far as to make Ugly American spectacles of themselves on sanctified ground. The Narrative was set and executed brilliantly.

4. Romney Will Crush the Middle Class With Tax Increases -- Both the media and Obama campaign have teamed up to use a phony study (co-authored by a former Obama official) to accuse Romney of planning to cut taxes for the wealthy and raise taxes on the middle class. Lies don’t get much bigger than this, but Romney's had to be out there defensively explaining why this isn’t true ever since.

5. Harry Reid's McCarthyism -- This sinister but undeniably brilliant tactic sucked up six-days of the news-cycle and was a total and complete victory for the Obama campaign. For six-days we talked about Romney's taxes and not about Obama's failures. Reid, who has no plans to run for reelection, took all the fire and Obama floated above it all. Genius.

6. Romney's a Felon -- Both DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Senior Obama Campaign Advisor Stephanie Cutter used the word "felon" to describe Mitt Romney's association with Bain. This sucked the air out of three-days worth of news-cycles and while the media cried foul, they also made sure Obama paid no political price whatsoever. Moreover, Romney was reduced to a man demanding an apology. Another total win for Team Obama.

7. Romney Opposes Abortion Exceptions For Rape and incest Victims -- This ad comes straight from the Obama campaign, not a surrogate. It's another brazen, bald-faced lie that makes Romney look extreme and that the media has made sure Obama pays no political price for telling.

8. Romney the Gay-bashing Prep School As*hole -- In another blatantly false anti-Romney attack obviously coordinated between the Obama campaign and the Washington Post, the Post reaches back a half-century to Romney's mind and declare it homophobic.

9. Romney's More Secretive Than Nixon -- This one explains itself.

10. That's Racist -- This narrative is just starting to bubble up again. Chris Matthews was all over it last night and The New Yorker hit the theme that Romney's criticism of Obama dismantling welfare reform is racially based. And that's just the most recent example.

Jeff Schweitzer blogging, from the Huffington Post:
(Paste simplistic label here)

Yesterday voters in Missouri passed by an overwhelming margin a bill to protect a threatened minority from an oppressive majority. Without this protection the minority might cease to exist. Yes, Missouri is taking the bold step of protecting that rarely seen and fragile species, the American Christian. Christians will, finally, no longer have to fear extinction with passage of Amendment 2 , better known as the "Right to Pray" bill. Proponents will sigh in relief now that it is once again safe to "pray briefly before a City Council meeting." Prayers from one faith? Invoking Jesus?
According to a 2008 survey from Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, more than 78% of Americans identify themselves as Christian. But sponsor of the bill feel compelled to "level of the playing field." It would seem that having a majority of nearly 80% is just not enough of an advantage. Even with a supermajority, the field needs to be leveled. This is not about religious freedom, it is about establishing absolute dominance, and repressing all religions other than Christianity. Only 4% are self-proclaimed non-believers (broken into the survey categories of atheists at 1.6% and agnostics at 2.4%). Yet in spite of these vast, massive, overwhelming, deeply embedded majorities, Christians often speak in the dialect of victimhood. The idea of Christians as modern victims while enjoying an overwhelming supermajority is difficult to swallow. From the perspective of a tiny 4% minority, any claim by a group representing 78% of the population that the views of a few are a threat to the many is simply surreal. A Christian complaining that Christianity or prayer are under attack when we submerged in Christianity's ubiquitous presence is like a fish in the Pacific Ocean complaining that there is not enough water.
The bill states that "no student shall be compelled to perform or participate in academic assignments or educational presentations that violate his or her religious beliefs." So no physics (Big Bang), no biology (evolution), no geology (climate change),and no philosophy (secularists); we will be pumping out students from public schools who know nothing about anything other than the bible. My religious belief is that secular education is a sin; therefore according to this new law I can opt out of school completely.
As an aside, let us mention that Missouri right now is suffering a severe drought that threatens the state's entire agricultural sector. All but a few counties are disaster areas. Climate change is a liberal hoax, though, so good thing the legislature is focusing on the important issues.
Let's cut to the chase and through the nonsense. We all know that the Right to Pray bill is really an attempt to impose one religion on a secular society composed of diverse faiths, and to tear down the wall separating church and state. What our Christian friends so readily forget is that they pursue a course our founders fought hard to prevent. They could not have been more explicit about this point. John Adams, who said when signing the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." Since he helped found the country, he would certainly know on what principles the nation was founded. Should we not take his word over some preacher's interpretation almost 300 years later? Missouri apparently thinks otherwise.
We do not need a Church of America: what the founding fathers knew in 1776 holds true in 2011. In spite of right wing Christian rhetoric to the contrary, that we are a secular nation cannot be denied. The facts supporting that conclusion are unambiguous, overwhelming, and indisputable. The Declaration of Independence in 1776, the Articles of Confederation of 1777, the U.S. Constitution (1787), and the Federalist Papers (1787-1788) are purely secular documents. Searching for references to god in any of these documents is akin to looking for Rick Perry at a gun control rally. Nowhere to be seen.

Our national obsession with God in politics is a recent phenomenon, and would seem completely alien to any of our founders. "In God We Trust" was first placed on United States coins in 1861 during the Civil War. Teddy Roosevelt tried to remove the words from our money in 1907 but was shouted down. Only in 1956 was that phrase adopted as the national motto by the 84th Congress. The clause "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was inserted only in 1954 when President Eisenhower signed legislation to recognize "the dedication of our Nation and our people to the Almighty."
For the first 180 years of existence, the United States never included God in its motto, on its currency, or in any document creating the republic. We were born a secular nation and remained one for nearly two centuries. Missouri wants to negate that history in order impose one religion on all others, our founders' greatest fear. The religious right claims, incredibly, to know more about the intent of our founders than the founders themselves.
We really need to stop this ridiculous argument about being a Christian nation. We are not; we have never been.

"Do we go forward towards a new vision of an America in which prosperity is shared? Obama asked..."

This is all you need to know. If this is what you want then you know how to vote in November.

A look back in time as Paul Ryan classily "unpacks" the dem healthcare budget to a blank Obama. All those numbers and facts just seem bothersome and tiresome to the prez. And sets the table for what a mental midget Joe Biden is compared to himself, something he wouldn't know the meaning of until today.

So many zingers to the Golfer In Chief in just a few minutes.

"Since the CBO can't score your bill because it doesn't have sufficient detail..."
"What has been placed in front of them is a bill that is full of gimmicks and smoke and mirrors"
"Hiding spending will not reduce spending".
"The American people are engaged. I would respectfully submit you are not listening to them"
"We don't believe the government should be in control of all of this. We want people to be in control"
"I respectfully disagree with the Vice President about what the American people are or are not saying or whether we are qualified to speak on their behalf. We are all representatives of the American people"

In Ohio: [COLOR="Blue"]Controversy arose earlier this week after complaints that the Republican election board members were voting to allow extended hours in conservative leaning counties, while denying the same hours in counties with urban areas which tend to vote Democrat. Democrat members would vote against it and Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, would break the tie votes in favor of Republicans.

After outcries, Husted ordered standardized times across the state Wednesday.[/COLOR]

Which rightist on this thread wants to come forth and offer their apology for this blatant attempt by the right to steal the election? Or...you could just go back and delete all of your previous posts about how only those on the left are cheats!
