OK, again and still waiting. How about you documenting Hussein Obama's first 10 years of his life as other than a Muslim?

Ah Louis. If you had done your research, you would be blaming FDR because Ho came to him to offer to help fight the Japanese to free Vietnam. FDR said "uh uh". If we had listened there is a very good chance that Ho would have put in a democratic govt. even though he studied Marxism in the 20's. But then as now, La Belle France was still looking at empire even as Britain's was crumbling. Following WWI and the Allies holding Germany responsible for the debt of the Great War said "In twenty years we will be at war again if we do this." He missed by six months.

18. When teen pregnancy results in my paying for it with tax dollars, it's an issue.
When young kids like to 'shoot shit' and that 'shit' isn't another kid, okay with me.
Obama's stint at Harvard wasn't due to his grades, but due to strings pulled by Al-Mansour.
The Palins did not belong to the secessionist group, but the Obamas are good friends with Wright, Ayers and garner endorsements from the Communist Party of the US, Hamas, Castro, Putin, Chavez........
I call it like I see it, and I don't see it as black or white, I see it as right or wrong.

19. I have said many times that racism is a spiritual issue. This is why education has not solved the problem. Racism is the deification of creature above creator. We were created to serve God and each other in the likeness of God. This means to selflessly give to one another in love. Racism rejects God; replacing him with man. No human should be worshipped. All of our abilities, talents, knowledge, etc. come from God. We do nothing on our own, create nothing on our own; in short we are nothing without God's grace. I believe that racism is an evil sprit incarnate. It will require repentance, prayer and fasting to defeat. Repentance of a desire to be first, to be like gods is the first step to restoring God's plan for humanity.

RIChris: You do call it as YOU and only you see it. Husband Palin is not a Republican as is Track Palin. Husband Palin is associated with the group that believes that Alaska should be it's own country. Look it up...better yet come to Alaska and find out for yourself....oh wait you can't...I bet you believe all the stuff you read and hear from the McCain campaign or the Obama Campaign. Sad but true that most people want to call it as SOMEONE else see's it. Black or white...find out about the important issues (with a plural). Teen pregnacy is an important issue yet the McCain campaign chooses to ignore it even as it stares them in their face when they look at the the pregnant teen in their own campaign. Other issues such as trimming the deficit...protecting the American dream of home ownership and living in PEACE and not always with the threat of going to war! ISSUES R IMPORTANT! Get informed America and stop being divided and distracted. If the candidates want to represent us (America) then get informed and make them stick to what they say. It is a pitiful day when we Americans fight among ourselves as the government that is for the people works against us...the people. They can not take back our country and return it to the people....Heck only the people can do that!
