oh....boy....this forum really does scare me that there might in fact be people around the world this misinformed and delusional.

Please tell me you're kidding and give me hope that we aren't all doomed?

It pains me to have to do this, but are you saying that all the valid points regarding the photoshopped picture are not true? I just really don't have time to debunk this but just can't let your bald faced lie sit on this forum.

I do not feel you truly comprehend what is being said in the article, nor do you understand the implications, twista.

The terror watch list was to prevent known terrorists and their organizations from conducting business in the global finance/banking sector. The purpose of this was to deny cash flow for known terrorist outfits. The EU was circumventing this and is funding a terrorist organization, Hamas, illegally. This behavior risked a lawsuit until HAMAS was removed from the terror watch list. Now European gov't & NGO's can move moneys with no over sight directly into HAMAS bank accounts were the money will fund their militancy and future attacks on civilians, the gov'ts and ngo's can now do this without risk of a lawsuit or international condemnation.

Read between the lines: Timothy F. Geithner is the United States Secretary of the Treasury, a cabinet position. Do you know what a cabinet position is, twista? Who's Geithner's boss? Obama.

(A) Are you so clueless that you believe Obama does not know/has no control over what his Cabinet is doing? (B) Or do you believe Obama is so clueless that he doesn't know what his Cabinet is doing?

It's A or B. So which is it twista?

Here's a little something on the Treasury Department's use of the terror watch list.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ('OFAC') of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers and those engaged in activities relat6ed to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction... Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments.

Will the person who made this post...#23...

You still have never explained why you refer to him as "Hussein" and until you can prove it otherwise any modest minded person will think it's a racist jab a middle easterners considering your views of Obama. And Palin is lucky to graduate college. Obama is an Ivy League lawyer.
PLEASE return to your nice private corner at the back of the room; put the pointy hat back on and continue mumbling to yourself I shall not venture into waters over my head, as you were instructed... JEEEESH...this one is a real head-slapper: smack:
Anyone up to enlightening the one with the burnt out lamp?

C'mon now...SOMEBODY tell her why he's referrd to as Barack Hussein Obama...puulease....HAVE MERCY..

Sweet Baby Jesus come down... lift this burden from our shoulders...
WE..., YOUR children beseech you in the name of MERCY for we have endured much and are ready to cast out the ignorant among us who blaspheme your creation. Say HALLELUJAH. Say Ahhhhhhmen.

I had to go research it and yes I was taken in by it for a moment. It's just so easy to believe hussein obama would do this considering he has had such a hard time honering the flag in the past.

How does one "honer" the flag. and to respond to your post, what you state is pure B&^% S&*&$

Funny thing, you Obama haters would hate him if he ironed your white sheets. Yes, we know what it is all about.

True conservatives left the Republican party years ago, leaving it to former southern democrats and their progeny, you know, KKK
