Search on the opening line and you will find hundreds of copycat posts and blogs quoting the same article. Not a second source anywhere (as of 6 pm today). Not even Fox News. Holiday weekend and all, this should be Fox's Big Story. But it's not. Of all, only Dr Jim West, had a small suspicion that it was a hoax, but even he, couldn't come out and say it, and still had to post parts of the article.

"Which capitalists did that", are you KIDDING!!!!!!
Thousands dying still under brutal communists (China, Cuba, NK). But given the history we know about communists, there's a reason so many people don't want to ever live to see the day they take any power.

I'm guessing someone has never had to write a paper in high school or college citing more than one source.

APA? MLA? CSE?

Please explain: What capitalists have killed millions?

Or are you referring to our nations right to defend itself, which is the Number 1 reason for having a Federal government, according to the Constitution.

Oh, yeah...silly me...Iraq didn't attack us. How could I forget? But, wait, neither did Afghanistan. Oh, I'm so confused!

But Muslim terrorists did. And they don't call any single country "home".

So, I guess we should have just shrugged if off as an isolated incident, huh? yeah, that would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it?

Tell me: Just where do you stand on national defense?

This is the problem with Obama; he thinks like you and a few others on this Forum. We're in serious trouble, and I sincerely believe that it is only a matter of a short time before we are attacked again. Only this time we don't have a "George W. Bush" in the White House to make the tough calls. We have a pansy arsed effeminate lover of all our enemies, who thinks that if we're "nice", they won't attack us.

This man we currently call "president" has no understanding whatsoever about radical Islam (though having been raised as a Muslim, he should). Thus, Obama is the most dangerous president this country has ever elected. This man never should have been allowed to set foot in the Oval office. He is nothing less than an absolute unmitigated idiot.

"The Government" doesn't care if you have a bible study or sit around naked playing the bongos (unless your neighbors complain about the drums). The point is you just can't "do whatever you want in your own home". There are lots of things you can't do in your home because you don't live in a bubble and sometimes what you do effects people living around you. It's not hard to understand.

what a stupid law... seems that they are going after people because they are religious.. I mean how can you go after them for bible studies... and not go after people that have other gatherings at their house.. absurd! they should take it to the courts! I have little tolerance for religion and it's views.. but I'm not everyone..and it is something that is expressed in the laws of the land... as well as the right to assemble, and have people over to your house on private property...
Absolutely ridiculous....

You did not just write that after reading this thread! Tell me your joking...or didn't bother reading anything. You can admit it, I won't get mad.

Don't waste your time. These people don't understand history, if they ever learned any in the first place.

To them, Capitalism is evil, and Communism is good; but they never lived under communism, so they are only parroting some liberal teacher or professor.

They think America is evil. Never mind that America and capitalism produced the richest country in the world with the highest standard of living in history.

Look how quickly one man, a "Progressive" (French for "Socialist"), can screw it all up and destroy it. In just over 100 days, we have the largest debt in our history, the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, our dollar is basically worthless, other countries no longer want it, the Government has taken over the auto industry and is dictating even how much they can spend on advertising (as if Obama knows anything about such things), and has taken control of the banks as well. The government will now know about every banking transaction you make.

I am sick for our country. People followed this "piper" right over the cliff. They think he is a god.
