ADICAL RIGHT -- CHRISTIAN RIGHT: OBAMA IS A HERETIC FOR OBSERVING DAY OF PRAYER IN PRIVATE JUST LIKE MOST OTHER PRESIDENTS:Yesterday, President Obama signed aproclamationrecognizing a National Day of Prayer (NDP), but he did not continue George W. Bush's practice of holding a "formal White House event." Leading up to the proclamation, conservative commentators spent days suggesting that Obama was in some way attempting todownplay the significanceof the NDP -- and thus faith in general. Hate radio talker Rush Limbaugh went so far as to suggest that Obama was trying to "cancel" the NDP, while the conservative National Day of Prayer Task Force issued a statement suggesting that Obama was departing from historical tradition. The Task Force claimed that Obama's decision was "contrary to the administrationsof President George W. Bush, President George H. W. Bush, and President Ronald Reagan." On Fox and Friends yesterday, co-host Steve Doocy echoed the claim that Reagan and George H. W. Bush held events similar to that of George W. Bush. Guest Elisabeth Hasselbeck asserted that public events at the White House on the National Day of Prayerstretched back to President Trumanand strangely suggested that Obama's decision was interfering in Americans' right to "gather and pray" in public. In reality, it was Bush who broke with tradition by holding official White House events on the NDP. Indeed, the National Day of Prayer Task Force spokesperson Brian Toon actually admitted days before that "[t]here wasno East Room eventuntil George W." Indeed, despite the Task Force's claim yesterday that Reagan and H. W. Bush were in thehabit holding White House events on the NDP, U.S. News and World Report explained that each of them held such eventsonly once during their presidencies.

If you had any light and truth in your little mind, it would have appeared by now, But you do not expose lies, you call people liars. You do not show the light of truth by reason, you repeat lies and say you are telling the truth.
If you support the Constitution, you voted for the wrong man for president Look what he has done to the banks, the auto industry, and is getting ready to do to health care.
And look at his criterion for Justices of the Supreme Court. He wants people who will emphasize with the disadvantage. that tells us he is not for the rule of law. The constitution is basic to the rule of law, but he perverts it. And you agree with him.
You have no idea what the Gospels say, J2. You select a few verses and claim to be an expert. You reject the Old Testament not knowing that it takes two witnesses to prove a point. You reject the writings of Paul and perhaps other writers. Proving that you are against anyone who disagrees with you. that is plenty of evidence to show you have a little mind.
1. the person I voted for did not pretend that what ever the president does is legal and that he is above the law, being able to rule by fiat if he so chooses.
2. I have posted and discussed both the old and new testaments with you. You are simply in denial because what you were taught and what the Bible says are two very different things. Sorry potese, but by the rules you chose to believe you go to hell.
3. sucks to be you playing with the informed and working minds, you are stuck at the bottom of the pile with skippy.

So what did he do with the banks and the Auto industry. He ruled it by fiat. You sleepy-headed braindead liberal. Her screwed the bond holders, gave the stock and ownership to the Union and government, and now he will rung=n the company. Wake up.

Of course you posted it and denied that Job was true and the writings of Paul were worthless. Might as well say that the only Books worth reading are the four Goepels.
3. sucks to be you playing with the informed and working minds, you are stuck at the bottom of the pile with skippy.
You are not informed it=f yuou cannot refute the arguments of the other side. anyone can tell his story and everyone will believe it until the other side is told. Now you must decide which is true and why if you are really informed. You haven't done that.
BTW if your were really informed, I would recognize the fact that you were intelligent enough to carry on decent debates.
