We’ve had prayer threads on this forum for years on which we ask our posters to be respectful. A prayer thread is no place for the rough and tumble political debate.

Thanks

I’m not fighting the prayer thread, but do they have to say President Obama? He is not my president and never will be and I will never give him that respect. So why can’t they just pray for Barack Hussein Obama?

It’s the words President Obama that are ticking most people off.

I'm familiar. One was for my late Daddy, which I started. It got me through some very rough times.

However, this is different. Had I stated that my Daddy was a FDR Democrat (which he was), and if someone wanted to debate me on that subject, I would have done so. At the end of the day, Jim, I'm just saying that no voice should be suppressed.

As I've stated on this website many, many times, this place has been a respite for me. I met the love of my life (Common Tator) here. I've urged many of my friends to join, and to contribute monetarily. And they have. Alot.

I have no urge to post on the "pray for Obama" website, or cause any trouble.

What caught my eye was, the "no debate allowed". That is the thing that has frightened me from the time I researched this man who is now the president-elect. As a Christian, I am do not recognize him as my president, as I feel that he may suppress our voices, through legislation .

This is your site, and you can do whatever you want. But to silence ones voice, nomatter what room or thread....that's the last thing I expected from this website.

Thanks for listening, Lisa
