hrothgar 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. Having lived through the 80s, my impression is that the "Ronald Wilson Reagan = 666" was very much a joke. Folks on the left were using this to mock Falwell and his ilk. I wouldn't say the same about the current polls that show that significant numbers of Republicans think that Obama 1. Is a socialist2. Is a muslim3. Was born in Kenya4. Is the antichrist Significant portions of the Republican base are completely detached from reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Let's see: 1 - He certainly socialized banking losses. 2 - His "stage" name may well be "Moo - Slim" 'cos he's skinny and he is milking the taxpayers. 3 - Wasn't his slogan something like: "Kenya believe this is the change you were hoping for?" and 4 - He used to follow a preacher that "God-damned" America so...who knows?

ggwhiz Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I can very well see myself answering some stupid poll No poll is stupid in itself as it would be good to know what we are dealing with here. Obama is the anti-christ OR, we have quantified the demographic dumb enough to spend $1 to text a poll response of "I don't know". A little market research towards more pollster jobs?

hanp Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm not sure that he is the antichrist but he sure is a marxist dictator. He's only been in office for a couple of weeks and he's already taken away American's god-given right not to pay for the sick and ugly.

luke warm Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 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. 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. some of those same people will tell you that the revelation of st. john is different from, say, isiah or ezekial when all are the same type literature...

JoAnneM Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Barack Obama is my president, a person and office I have great respect for. McCain would have been my president if he had won, a person I also would have had respect for. (I still do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenberg Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 The Antichrist mystery is soon to be resolved. A glossy came in the mail advertising a series of lectures on Biblical Prophesies. The last lecture is entitled "Unmasking the Antichrist". We owe it to ourselves to attend. it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOut Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Pressure from the tea-baggers and other droolers is hurting serious conservative thinkers. It's gotten to the point that conservatives fear to speak the truth for fear of offending morons: Can ‘No’ Revive the Republicans? “I was fired by a right wing think tank called the National Center for Policy Analysis in 2005 for writing a book critical of George W. Bush’s policies, especially his support for Medicare Part D,” writes the former Reagan White House adviser Bruce Bartlett, at Capital Gains and Games. “In the years since, I have lost a great many friends and been shunned by conservative society in Washington, DC. Now the same thing has happened to David Frum, who has been fired by the American Enterprise Institute … Since, he is no longer affiliated with AEI, I feel free to say publicly something he told me in private a few months ago. He asked if I had noticed any comments by AEI ’scholars’ on the subject of health care reform. I said no and he said that was because they had been ordered not to speak to the media because they agreed with too much of what Obama was trying to do.”Now Frum can speak up, but where will he get the money to pay a bodyguard?

Winstonm Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Frum said on "Nightline" that the Republican Party's lockstep with the Fox News attack machine has hurt the party, and that "we're discovering we work for Fox." Fox - the WWF of "news" organizations. Next up, Tag-team Cage Debates with Hulk Hannity and Rough 'n Reddy O'Reilly versus the Antichrist and Blue Dog DemoCrat.
