“if liberals at least acknowledged that the recreational hunter feels the same way about his gun as they feel about their library books, and if conservatives recognized that most women feel as protective of their right to reproductive freedom as evangelicals do of their right to worship.”


Let's see.....how should I pick-this-apart??
Walll, lessee mah raffel felld offen duh truck winderr an aint no booklearnin wooda stopped it

Definition: "reproduction freedom" - - The SO-CALLED RIGHT of women to have their unborn child murdered by medication or by having it "delivered" foot-first, excepting its head, and having the baby's brains sucked-out.

Re Obama's attempted smear of Evangelical Christians: Not only do Evangelicals have to right to worship as they see fit, so do all the other citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! - - (Although, perhaps Osama Hussein Obama wouldn't be able to understand the concept)

I have heard Obama referred to as "an empty suit"....I think that's exactly what he is.

the vast majority of Americans—Republican, Democrat, and independent—are weary of the dead zone that politics has become

No, Americans are weary of opportunistic, power-hungry, self-aggrandizing, shallow empty-suit politicians who give the appearance of substance by manipulating symbolic languange but who have no real vision, and whatever convictions they have are more aligned with 19th-Century collectivist ideology.

The fact that Obama is something of a "phenom/flavor-of-the-month" is an indication of how dangerously vapid most Americans have become.

Obama has objectively about the same political qualifications as does Edwards but without the trial lawyer stigma. I guess that makes Obama marginally preferable for what it is worth, if anything.

A freshman senator with only 2 years gone in his term would never be seriously considered presidential material....unless he was black. That's his principal "qualification."

...but actually you raise a good point. I mean, faced with the options of "Hitler Lady Ripens" (acronym for "President Hillary"), Edwards, or Obama, who would do the least damage to the nation...it's a difficult choice.

"Most women" oppose "most abortion," according to the polls I've seen, anyway.

Barack Hussein Obama is the kind of schlock that Oprah-fanatics eat up

"Hitler Lady Ripens" (acronym for "President Hillary")

Super, but an anagram, perhaps?

Obama, whose real full name is Barack Saddam Hussein Obama bin Laden*, can put on a nice dog-and-pony show, but he will never be able to conduct an orchestra.

Then again, maybe we should be nice to him, just for tonight, since his middle name got executed.

*Humor

"Reproductive freedom" is a euphemism for "sex without consequences and without responsibility."

You nailed it. Even in the sixties I remember if a girl got pregnant the boy did the right thing and they raised the child. It made for a rough life sometimes as old dreams were stubbed out. But most chose not to go down that path because there were observable bad consequences.

The most useful thing that Barack Hussein Obama's name has ever done is prove that there IS a link between Hussein and Osama (I mean Obama).

Repulsive.
