"We're all Muslims now" with a happy face.
Ann Coulter was right: they’re all Godless swine...
Wrong, Obama butt-wiper. Not least freedom from an over-arching government that dictated every aspect of our its citizens lives.
Like how many gallons of water its toilets could use per flush.
Yeah, yeah. I know flush toilets weren't invented at the time of this nation's founding but you get my point.
Obviously, right after 9-11, people put great weight in their faith, millions went BACK to church, that had not been, in years.
Now, we are back to where we were, pre 9-11.
It does not mean that we are about to start worshiping Gaia or that we are going to join any left wing anti religion movement.
Who cares what Newsweek writes or thinks? they preach to the libs, who are the ones who read that rag.
This dork sounds like he thinks this is England with Her Magesty the Queen as the head of the Church of England. We have always had freedom of religion in the USA. It is the first Bill in The Bill of Rights! To quote a famous rabbit, "what a maroon!"
Newsweek is 2 end-of-American-dominance articles away from being a two-bit college commie propaganda rag. They should just go for broke and put sex classifieds at the back.
Kind of random question here...
But...can someone who’s Catholic please answer a question that I have been wondering about...
How come some Catholic churches protect and give sanctuary to illegal aliens? Do they do the same for others who break the law?
Just wondering...they seem so strict on the abortion issue...but so the opposite with illegals...
Did Editor’s Scolding Wife Spike Newsweek Obama Cover?
Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham’s Wife May Have Killed Dark Obama Race Cover In Favor Of A Sunnier One: Report
May 29, 2008
this week’s cover story about Barack Obama, Newsweek distills the conventional political wisdom into a bitter tonic of condescending campaign advice. The Democratic presidential candidate is praised for having “wisely taken to often wearing and American-flag lapel” to reassure people he doesn’t sympathize with Islamic extremists but also advised “it would help to be seen venerating your white mother and grandparents as well as your black father” and that “whites resent being accused of racism for remarks they regard as innocent,” in case the black politician hadn’t learned that yet. To illustrate this cynical lesson in realpolitik, the magazine had originally planned to run the suitably stark cover above and on the left, according to the person who supplied us with a copy. But that cover was “killed” late Friday night, we are told, and replaced with the bright and sunny front at right — a bizarre choice given the gritty lead article and stark collection of supporting pieces on racial division. More outlandish still is the purported reason for the cover switch:
After working on the attached cover all week and making multiple modifications, the cover was killed late Friday night. Why? The wife of the editor stopped by, apparently saw the cover and expressed her disapproval. Amazingly, the previously approved cover, worked on all week, was killed. I guess we know who has the final say...

Meacham is late. Time Magazine declared God dead eons ago.
How’s that working out?

Newsweek editor Jon Meacham confesses that news stories are driven by conflict rather than ideology.

CAMPAIGN 2008
It’s Not Easy Bein’ Blue
America remains a center-right nation—a fact that a President Obama would forget at his peril.
Eight years of Republican rule have produced two seemingly endless wars, an economy in recession, a giant federal intervention in the financial sector and a nearly universal feeling of unease in the country (86 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with how things are going, and 73 percent disapprove of the president’s performance). Obama—a man who has yet to complete his fourth year in the United States Senate—is leading John McCain, and Democrats may gain seats on Capitol Hill.
Should Obama win, he will have to govern a nation that is more instinctively conservative than it is liberal—a perennial reality that past Democratic presidents have ignored at their peril. A party founded by Andrew Jackson on the principle that “the majority is to govern” has long found itself flummoxed by the failure of that majority to see the virtues of the Democrats and the vices of the Republicans.

Goes to show you how much Jon Meacham knows about anything!
He runs a magazine that has a whole six pages that you can find mostly in a doctor’s office. I don’t even think liberals actually buy it.
The Palin Problem
Yes, she won the debate by not imploding. But governing requires knowledge, and mindless populism is just that—mindless.
By Jon Meacham | NEWSWEEK
Published Oct 4, 2008
In an interview before her debate with Sen. Joseph R. Biden, Palin offered a revealing answer to radio host Hugh Hewitt. “Governor, your candidacy has ignited extreme hostility, even some hatred on the left and in some parts of the media,” Hewitt said. “Are you surprised? And what do you attribute this reaction to?”
On the phone from McCain’s retreat in Sedona, Palin replied: “I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, ‘You know what? It’s time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency.’ I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it, but it’s motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our ticket is victorious, and we put government back on the side of the people of Joe Six-Pack like me, and we start doing those things that are expected of our government, and we get rid of corruption, and we commit to the reform that is not only desired, but is deserved by Americans.” This is, presumably, good politics: it makes a strength out of a weakness, always a shrewd tactic.
A key argument for Palin, in essence, is this: Washington and Wall Street are serving their own interests rather than those of the broad whole of the country, and the moment requires a vice president who will, Cincinnatus-like, help a new president come to the rescue. The problem with the argument is that Cincinnatus knew things. Palin sometimes seems an odd combination of Chauncey Gardiner from “Being There” and Marge from “Fargo.”
Is this an elitist point of view? Perhaps, though it seems only reasonable and patriotic to hold candidates for high office to high standards. Elitism in this sense is not about educational or class credentials, not about where you went to school or whether you use “summer” as a verb. It is, rather, about the pursuit of excellence no matter where you started out in life.

And look who we ended up with!
With doomsdayers like this, who needs any religion at all? <Sarcasm
It’s only Newsweak — Misspelling on purpose. Move on, folks!
Things are moving way too fast not to see that something Really BIG has been set in motion, begining with the nomination of Obama.
Something prophesied long ago.
Who is forcing anyone to go to believe anything or to go to church? It's amazing the things liberals are scared of. And meanwhile they have no problem with the government forcing people to work 30% or more of their lives away to pay taxes.
Did this guy show a picture of himself with his collection of armbands perhaps?
Scumbag elitist.
What an overeducated dumbass. (no oxymoron)
They’re destroying their parents country.
They talked our economy down for the past 8 years and drove us into a depression. Now they are starting on our religion.
