We criticize Obama because behind his teleprompter (other than a tyrannical movement) is nothing but thin air.

You need to understand this. Conservatives don’t criticize him for the teleprompter. It’s about the fact that the teleprompter symbolizes the empty promises of socialism.

Bachmann understands the need to reassert our liberties under the Constitution. All politicians use teleprompters.

If you’re able and unafraid to articulate what it is about the Constitution you don’t like, go ahead.

Well for what its worth I'm not particularly fond of the the 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd and 26th Amendments. I think we could do better without any of those.

Can I ask you a question about your screen name?

Reason is Faith?

Is that a truism? Because, as you know, most truisms are false.

Spiritual Faith is not reason and reason is not faith. Although they are compatible and not contradictory, I don't see how their parallel lines ever intersect.

Faith is in itself a miracle, and by nature miracles are not subject to temporal reason. Faith in Christ, is not something we reason out for ourselves, it is a Gift from God. A fallen man can reason, but without the prompting of God (a supernatural event) no man can come to faith.

Now men may reason a faith in their brakes when driving their cars, knowing that the odds of a brake failure are so insignificant that they do not warrant an irrational fear of driving 75 miles an hour, but that is not a spiritual faith. That is a reasonable conclusion based on statistics and experience. It certainly isn't the kind of substance of things hoped for or evidence of things unseen that we equate with our Spiritual Faith.

Anyhows, what exactly do you mean when you say "reason is faith"? Thanks.
