It must really suck living in fear all the time.
Dude stop listening to all the fear mongers, shut off the stupid TV and relax.
Nobody is allowed to post here until they have read and understand the first ten amendments to the constitution.
Glad you have stayed, kept your posts civil and not run off like so many conservatives have previously on this site.
I'm also glad to hear a person with a conservative point of view de-bunk the paranoiac myth that American politicians would consider repealing the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
Could you explain what the current President has done to make you think he is a "dangerously unstable individual, a petulant child who *does* have a sufficiently delusional world view".?
that hilarious old SNL sketch which presented Reagan as a secret mastermind behind his dithering public facade.
If you understand you may post.So I'm not allowed to post until I understand freedom of speech? :wink:

Actually, I wrote cold and calculating and changed it to cool and calculating. But maybe it works better. I want someone cold and calculating in that job. The wrong kind of emotional response in high stress situations is the last thing you want.I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you.
Oh, I never said they wouldn't *consider* it, but actually doing it is quite another thing.
Well, admittedly that was a bit of hyperbole, but many of the phrases ring true with many conservatives. I found an article written about the President, which justifies this position...spent some extra time to find one from a journal that would not be immediately dismissed as "conservative propaganda," though I suspect that will be the cry from those who disagree.
Obama’s Petulant, Passive Aggressive Leadership Reveals a Fixed Adolescent Mindset
What you view as cool and judicious, many of us view as cold and calculating. Unstable doesn't have to mean unhinged.
Are any of you planning for the huge American economic depression and totalitarian regime?
I feel like I need a "go bag" with everything I need to run for my life. I definitely need to buy a gun before the 2nd amendment is gotten rid of.
I really don't see myself as a protester or a freedom fighter, the #1 priority will be helping me and my family and friends get somewhere safe. I don't see the point in dying for this country or peacefully protesting and getting tear gassed. I'm more of a "nothing is permanent so adapt and survive" type person.
In a nutshell, when the shit hits the fan I will be a defensive fighter. I will mostly run like hell, but I will kill when I have to.
I checked your article ... It's a one-sided article written from a certain point of view with a predetermined conclusion. Like most political commentary is.
To get a better idea of conservative thought I prefer to read people like Charles Krauthammer, David Frum, or George Will.
too many stories about the Muslim in the White House.
I never did understand why that was an issue. Whether or not he is a Muslim, whether or not we are comfortable with a Muslim in the White House, the President's religion is not a Constitutional issue.
Though I freely admit that I would prefer a Christian, there is no religious requirement for the Presidency!
35 years old, natural born citizen, and 14 years residency. That's it...straight out of the Constitution.
Well put.
He professes to be a Christian.And, for the record, he is a Christian. :smile:
He professes to be a Christian.
He's a politician...Democrat, Republican, Independent, or other... How can you tell when a politician is lying...his lips are moving!
So, you think he's secretly a muslim? Honestly?
You *do* realize that you're asking about a very old joke, right?And do you really believe all politicians are dishonest all the time?
OK, it's obvious you have a difficult time reading plain English, so I suggest you go back and re-read what I actually wrote.
To synopsize, if he's a Muslim, or if he's not...it doesn't matter. There is no religious requirement for President. I never actually stated my opinion.
But, since you asked...he claims, publicly, that he is a Christian. And, other than the fact that he is a politician, I have no specific reason to think he's lying.
All is a dangerous word. It's right up there with never.
But, based on experience, I do find it much easier to just assume they're lying, until proven otherwise.

Your stance would seem less disingenouous if you expressed doubt about any specific politician besides Obama.
In what way was I being disingenuous? I was careful to use the plural form, when referring to politicians.But, based on experience, I do find it much easier to just assume they're lying, until proven otherwise.
Operating from the assumption that the purpose of a lie is to improve your chances, bolster your position, or in some way enhance your standing, yes, I think the "spin" put out by each politician calls into question the actual truth about pretty much anything they say.Given your generalized caveat, do you acknowledge then that you also can't be sure whether Santorum, or Paul, or Gingrich, or Romney are Christians? (Actually, depending on your definition of the term, Romney may be much more doubtful on that score than Obama.)
