Winstonm Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 This has to be the result of too many "No Child Left Behind" classes moving through the Texas public school system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOut Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 People like to think the worst about their opponents in politics, sports, and sometimes even in business. Both Bush and Clinton ran into some of this too. Lots of people would have wacky ideas about Obama even if the racial aspect did not come into play. I don't see an easy way out of this. We need to keep working to improve the educational system. Perhaps some states could ban the textbooks used in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Don't be ridiculous, no one in the GOP thinks Obama is the easter bunny. That would be a cute cuddly adorable creature not one who is destroying the world as we know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winstonm Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Some people in this country are F'in retarded imo. It is absolutely ridiculous to think Obama is the Antichrist when it is a verifiable fact that he is The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Winstonm Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Although the site is maintained by a strong Christian (a consideration that often gives me pause)... Gee, I wonder why you say that? 14 percent of Americans say President Barack Obama may be the Antichrist. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Salon.com reports:President Obama gave an interview earlier this week to an Indonesian television station. He said, about Indonesia human rights abuses... We have to acknowledge that those past human rights abuses existed. We can't go forward without looking backwards . . . . But.... When asked last year about whether the United States should use similar tribunals to investigate its own human rights abuses, Obama said: I'm a strong believer that it's important to look forward and not backwards.... So, you can't GO forward without looking backwards, but it's important to LOOK forward and not backwards, so you have to look backwards but not really care about what you see while pretending to care about what's in front of you? :blink: Maybe those 24%'ers are on to something.... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 There is a wonderful (to my way of thinking anyway) exchange in one of Asimov's "Foundation" novels (Second Foundation I think) between the leader of the Foundation and one of his analysts, after some "ambassador" from a newly formed local kingdom comes to try to get the Foundation to join this new polity. Something like this:Leader: He was here for two weeks. He produced an awful lot of words. What did he actually say?Analyst: According to our semantic analysis, nothing.Leader: Of course. He's a politician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a cute cuddly adorable creature not one who is destroying the world as we know it. Once again, education is at fault. It is clear that Obama is not the anti-christ but he could be the ante-christ. In that way, all of us are as well (some more than others). I will give him this, tho, he was the savior of the financiers ... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they would know better what cute cuddly adorable bunnies are capable of. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Both Bush and Clinton ran into some of this too. Reagan, too. I remember one of the pieces of evidence cited for Reagan's being the antichrist was that his first, middle, and last names each had 6 letters.

kenberg Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 As far as I know, the Antichrist is eligible to be president as long as he is at least 35 years old and was born in this country. Some people are always complaining no matter who gets elected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_U_Card Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Everyone knows that the mark (number) of the beast is 666 and we see it every day, everytime we buy something. A bar-code reader recognizes a bunch of lines as a bar code if and only if they start with a thin double line, have a thin double line exactly in the middle and end with that same thin double line. btw, the thin double line is the barcode symbol for the number 6..... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 It's difficult to know how much is tongue in cheek, how much is casual whimsy, how much is real. My mother, with her ninth grade education, read her horoscope every morning in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. But to the best of my knowledge, she never based any decision on what she read. I just checked, and believe it or not the Washington Post still publishes a daily horoscope. I'm instructed to focus on relationships today, and I will be richly rewarded. I can very well see myself answering some stupid poll by saying oh sure, Obama is the Antichrist. And I am the reincarnation of Julius Caesar, and Cleo is out in the kitchen fixing breakfast. Still, there is some serious idiocy out there. A few days after the attack on the Twin Towers a woman came up to me, book in hand, to explain how this was all foretold by Nostradamus. She definitely was not joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days after the attack on the Twin Towers a woman came up to me, book in hand, to explain how this was all foretold by Nostradamus. She definitely was not joking. I have known people (also not joking) who hold both that every word in the bible is literally true and that the bible predicts current events. The objection that seeing those predictions requires one to slip into figurative mode doesn't faze them a bit. Nope, seeing those predictions simply requires a "correct" reading of the bible.
