#2 I remember that quandary at the last election Dr. Steve. But at least Keyes is his own wingnut, whereas Obama is a bought-and-paid-for tool of the moonbats. When he talks, you can't even see their lips move.

#4 Steve
Keyes is fun to listen to. Where is your sense of fun?

#5 Oh, Keyes was funny to listen to. But I wasn't going to vote for him, and I can't stand to leave a ballot blank.

#6 I'd still hit it even if she couldn't get my vote.

Obama vs. Keyes? I think I'd go with Keyes just because of the Cosby sweaters.

#7 Wait a minute. When did the term "seperation of church and state" become part of our constitution. Am I missing something? I may not agree with her behavior but at least she stated a fact that seperation of church and state is a lie.

#8 Well, both sides frame the debate incorrectly. The left frames it as a separation meaning no mention of God or religion in public life., i.e., freedom FROM religion. Harris' side frames it as no separation whatsoever, to the extent that Christianity becomes the de facto official religion. The truth is much more profound and practical: Freedom OF religion. No official state church, and no prohibition from exercising the religion of your choice. That's all it says. Read it for yourself.

#9 I'm kinda leaning your way Art. I don't like here tactics but she is more right than wrong. After watching years of attempts by the ACLU to try to take down our Mt. Soledad War Memorial (which is a cross) on the basis of separation of church and state I have altered my opinion somewhat. The 1st Amendment says "Congress shall may no law respecting the establishment of religion" but it also goes on to say "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." It is the second part of that first sentence that concerns me the most. Atheists/Agnostics are trying to prevent people (Christians in particular) from expressing their religious views everywhere. Whether it's a cross on a hill or teachings at school they believe Christianity should not be visible. And there's no evidence the founding fathers ever intended that. Here in California 4th graders have to learn about Islam. They pick an Islamic name and in some schools dress up in traditional Islamic garb. But just try to teach them the 10 commandments and the ACLU will be on you like white on rice. In reality every lawmaker brings their personal beliefs to work with them whether they say it or not. They make judgement calls on right and wrong every day. And for most people those judgement calls are impacted by thier religious beliefs.

#10 No, the Lefties started out decades ago as
"freedom from religion/freedom of worship", but now has become "There is no God/No God except Man and Government". Pragmatically, God = Faith is what induces both individuals-Society to become better than what they are. Secular Government = Law/Legalism tells the Masses what they can't do, God-Faith tells them what they can be. GOD-FAITH = UNIVERSAL/COMMON IDEALISMS-TRADITIONS = UNIVERSAL/COMMON INNOVATION = UNIV PROGRESS = UNIV UTOPIA/EQUALISM. The Failed Lefties are the Failed Lefties becuz, for all their talk of universal equalism, humanism, Libertarianism, Pluralism-Diversity, and universal anti-materialism/anti-property, GOVERNMENT-BUREAUCRATISM IS NEVER ALLOWED TO BE TRANSCENDED, I.E. BIGGER GOVERNMENT-BUREACRACY IS ALWAYS BETTER, AND MUST ALWAYS CONTROL. EVERYONE IS EQUAL WHEN NO ONE HAS ANY RIGHTS NOR IS ABLE TO DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS - you know, why Lefties [ideo]believe SOCIALISM = UNIVERSAL GOVERNMENTISM IS NOT REPRESSIVE. Is why RIGHTISM, NOT LEFISM, is the true path to UTOPIA - the Failed Lefties know it, which is why are RINOS-CINOS. Iff one accepts that the WOT = War against Islam-fascism = also a WAR AGAINST FASCISM, by definition any War against Fascism or forms of FASCISM/RIGHTIST SOCIALISM is also a War FOR its Antithesis = is WAR FOR COMMUNISM = LEFTIST SOCIALISM!?
