Actually, I'm surprised you're still with us. I thought your head would have exploded when Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize.

I find it much better to spend my time doing other things, but apparently I'm in the minority on this one.

Fox makes me hate both parties?
So who bothers you so much, "Fox" is broad. And why do you hold them to a standard and not the rest of the Bush is the devil Obama is our virginal beloved savior to none?

So Obama won the International Leftist Man of the Year award, aka the Nobel Appeasment Prize. How is that different then when Gore or Carter won it for hating America or they awarded it to a terrorist? Why now?

Why did you assume I was referring solely to Fox? Reread what I wrote.

Did I say somewhere that he deserved it? You don't read the words, you read what you think the writer is going to say.

You brought them up and bashed them twice more and that's what I'm asking about. What difference does it make what else you might have referred to? I'm asking about what you said about Fox.

Ironic you go into left field on what I said and then chastise me for not reading your post, something you clearly didn't with mine. You said you were surprised my head hadn't exploded because of Obama winning the award. I asked why now when liberal appeasers and terrorists have dominated the award and you said I was saying you thought Obama deserved it?
You are, my friend, a hoot. That's why I like these discussions with you. The question is never addressed and we may not go anywhere, but the path is filled with fun and antics.

Deadskins wrote:As for the Nobel, what do you want from me? No I don't think Obama deserved the award, any more than did Arafat, or Gore. I think Carter deserved it, but that's not to say I think Carter is without flaws. I'm not sure what your point is anyway. I was just making a joke which obviously went way, way over your head.
Deadskins wrote:Just for the record, I've only mentioned Fox twice, not three times, as you stated. I brought up Fox originally because your rant about liberal indoctrination in the schools was one of your verbatim quotes from any of the talking heads at that network. I then laughed at your defense of them, but proceed to lump them in with the rest of the corporate media (the part of my post you didn't comprehend). Personally, I don't watch any network or cable news programs, but I did happen to have just caught a rerun of a Daily Show episode where they had spliced together about 10-15 Fox personalities giving that exact same talking point about schools indoctrinating kids. I though it was humorously ironic that you were ragging on the "liberal media" again, while using talking points directly pulled from the least liberal of the media outlets. But in the post you quoted, I made no mention of Fox in particular, but condemned the entire media, and was, in fact, talking about those "news" organizations you say are liberal and present only one side. I was pointing out to you that they do that on purpose, to get the very reaction from you that they are getting. I compared it to professional wrestling so you could better follow the argument. You see, when the "heel" hits your favorite wrestler over the head with a folding chair, he's not really trying to hurt your guy, he's stirring your emotions so you will be more invested in the fight. But it's all fake. I'm sorry to spoil the illusion for you, but they are in it together for their mutual benefit

When exactly did I do that?
kaz wrote:You keep go to that your shallow joke went over my head and that I'm saying you supported Obama and completely missing the point of my simple response to your simple joke. Dude, it's not that complicated. But keep dancing and hooting my freind. You are a riot!

KazooSkinsFan wrote:If you look at all the problems we're having in this country. We're being attacked by Islamic Terrorists who are being defended by Godless Liberals, could there be a better idea then to create a bible class in school? Think about it, it could really help this country. One thing liberals ignore is the original rise of public schools was actually driven by Christians who wanted their kids to be able to read the bible for themselves.
Now I realize the first Amendment's a hurdle, but I have a way around that. If we teach the Bible as a historical class that could be a pretty good way around it. Students could read and memorize passages and learn about Jesus's love without directly worshiping or praying to a Christian God.
Also, the Founding Fathers were actually trying to prevent State religions and they constantly referred to God in their writings and documents, they never had any intent of preventing government from having general religion. One perversion of history was that Thomas Jefferson in saying the phrase "separation of church and State" was guaranteeing government be free from religion, it was actually the reverse. He was assuring a group of ministers in Danbury, Connecticut that government would not interfere in their religion.
Anyway, teaching our kids Christian values even from a historical sense could have a great impact on this country and it would surely start to rub off. Then the kids take it home to their parents. Foreign born parents take it back to their families. We could just run around the war by the Muslims into a Christian conquest of Christian love over them.
What do you think?
DarthMonk wrote:I think that by definition, a liberal is someone who thinks we should apply government liberally when dealing with society's problems while a conservative thinks we should use the governement very conservatively. (I dare say most conservatives and liberals are not consistent with this and therefore the labels can often be useless). Thus, the suggestion posited by this thread is actually extremely liberal.

... which is one reason slavery was rampant. I especially like the way certain Quakers were flayed for their reading of "Holy Scripture."
