  1. Fear Not: What does virtual rumor-mongering say about Christians?
    By Robert Marus & Ken Camp
    Monday, October 19, 2009


    WASHINGTON (ABP) -- Thanks to the Internet, some gullible American Christians can engage in one of their favorite hobbies -- digging up the metaphorical corpse of Madalyn Murray O’Hair and rhetorically flogging it -- more easily than ever before.

    Even though the famous atheist’s body was discovered in 1998 and positively identified in Texas -- and even though she apparently has been dead since she disappeared in 1995 -- patently false rumors about her alleged anti-Christian campaigns continue to spread. Credulous Christians who once forwarded these kinds of rumors in mimeographed chain letters or spread them on talk radio now can broadcast them around the world with the mere click of a mouse.

    And, of course, O’Hair is not alone in the annals of perceived enemies of Christ about whom some Christians will spread the most ridiculous stories, not bothering to do the merest hint of fact-checking on them.


    From the old Procter & Gamble Satanism libel to tales of more recent vintage about President Obama’s faith and citizenship, Internet-fueled rumors seem to run rampant. And, frighteningly, Christians seem at the very least to be as susceptible as the population at large to the habit of spreading false stories.


    So, why are Christians so willing to believe unsubstantiated rumors? And more troubling, why are Christians, who should hold the highest standards of truth-telling, so eager to spread such rumors -- and even downright libels?

  3. Why do liberals believe in Socialism when it has failed everytime it has been tried?

    To liberals, government is a religion. The only true religion. God Bless the Government, Long live the King.

  6. Making up lies is the the way of the right wing extremists...

    None of their arguments withstand the light or disinfectant of common sense...

    Most of these dead brain stem republicans don't even understand what socialism actually is, and no socialist would still be in a war with Iraq or Afghanistan, and certainly a socialist would not have bailed out the corporate scum in Wall Street or Detroit...

    this is what happens - you have a bunch a numb nuts on the left saying a HI official said"
    she inspected the records and declared him natural born.

    Yet earlier in this someone else produced the quote - and for those who can read

    all she said was that they have the records.

    She did not say shit about what the records say.

    Yet dumb as turd leftist are saying she said Obama is natural born.

    How fricken stupid. The left does not even understand that we have courts to make those determinations. Not HI dept of public records officials.

    Then we have another person who keeps citing definitions for citizen instead of natural born citizen.

    You can be a citizen without being Natural born. How many times do you have to be told the same thing.

    If you want to have a discussion with the right - you have to elevate your intelligence and discuss the constitutional qualifications to be president.

    Its not citizen its not naturalized its natural born.

    The above is an example of the ignorance of the left.


    This poster has so little comprehension that he claims that state official has declared Obama a natural born citizen and by implication the "birthers" should just give up.


    The statement is so dumb it is comedy.

    Officials have confirmed Obama is a Natural born citizens

    Has to be the most ingnorant post of the year.

    Really?

    1. The official said they have his records. Somehow in the bizarro world of leftist fools this becomes confirmation of Obama being a Natural born citizen.

    This ignorance of language could be excused by a low comprehension however fool then goes on to grant amazing powers to this official...

    2. This dope believes that a records official can deem Obama a Natural born citizen. This must be a new power of the federal executive branch that goes through state legislatures and deems super supreme court powers on record keepers.

    lets review - The president usurps power from the U.S. supreme court - and passes that power over to the state. The state legislature then takes that magical power and grants it to a record keeper. Now the record keep has more power than the U.S. Supreme court.

    She can determine the meaning of the U.S. constitution and declare someone a Natural born citizen.

    This guys has the hubris to make fun of people who do not think like he does.

    Does anyone wonder - why this poster never supports any of his statements.

    does anyone wonder if this poster has any credibility.



    Not on the left.

  9. "If you want to have a discussion with the right - you have to elevate your intelligence and discuss the constitutional qualifications to be president."

    Dude, you are dumb as a floating turd.

    You have been helplessly and haplessly unable to unequivocally state what it would take to satisfy your doubt, and now you think there is some elevation needed to have a discussion with the right?

    Beyond laughable...

    Tell me you have a brain tumor or dementia that at least would explain how uninformed and ignorant you are coming across...

    "Its not citizen its not naturalized its natural born."

    Read that quote from your blather below.

    It's It's tits not its...
