Obama 1, fringe catholics 0

What a shame, BO at Notre Dame.


54 percent of Catholics who voted voted for Obama. 70 plus percent of the students approved the Pres as their speaker.

The pre-speech hysteria was promoted by a vocal minority of mostly professional Lifers who wanted to set the stage for SC hearings.

Like Alan Keyes who managed to get TV face time by being arrested twice.

They should have known that Obama would use the opportunity to display his own pragmatism and highlight their extremism, setting the table for his SC pick himself.


This is what America needs. Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Maturity, respect, thought, reflection. So above the pettiness we've come to accept as the cost of the politics of division.

Holy Shit Rogers, don't you think the 400 pt bolded headline is a little over the top?

Even FOX NEWS had nothing much to criticize here, they went to regular programing (ATTACKING DEMOCRATS) as soon as possible, poor Mike Wallace had to give way to Greg Garret only for Garrett to try an find something that they could criticize unable to do so, went else where to attack the Democratic Party, same old Crap!!!!! Obama was terrific, now even the clowns at Fox must know why Americans voted for this Man as our President, makes one proud!!!!!!!

BFD!

Both the President of Notre Dame and Obama, through respect, courtesy and honor in each other's humanity made such a sharp contrast to Keyes and the others. This was a powerful testament to faith, respect and intellectual honesty.


Despite all the threats, there was hardly any protest at all. But then, there weren't even threats when George The Smiling Executioner Bush spoke at ND, even after he did in all those prisoners in direct conflict with Catholic policy on the death penalty.

And bore false witness to start a war which has killed hundreds of thousands......but expecting keyes and his ilk to be rational is folly.

Corky, sorry you are forgetting church doctrine only speaks for the unborn fetus/zygote/clump of cells.

Once they're full term and born, the church couldn't give a shit.

Unless it's a boy of course.....

"I was for abortion before I was against it. I feel your pain. I will say anything you want me to say just so you'll love me."

Bri

Catholic church doctrine is opposed to the death penalty. What you speak of is modern pop religion that has been recruited for political purposes.


Forever Wrong Thom.

"Unless it's a boy of course..." ff

abortion will always be a choice sensible women will make if necessary & possible for whatever reasons.

Sin of doing so is a Catholic relic:>)

Twenty-seven people were arrested prior to Obama's speech, including Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

36 years later, somebody ought to tell he she LOST.

And Norma, sweetie, them pro-life GOPpers like Alan "i'll run for office anywhere' Keyes, ain't ever gonna do a damn thing about Roe V. Wade either. Just ask Nixon, Ford, Reagan or the Bushes...

Cork:Cork: I'm against the death penalty as well. And The Innocence Project has proven that my reasons for being so were valid.

However, as you know, I'm also an atheist, pro-choice, pro-2nd ammendment, pro-gay marriage etc.

Cork:Cork:

I always wanted a nickname, ;)

lol...corky works fine for me:>)

yeah, I don't know why it posted that way.

Damn gerbils.

Holy Shit Rogers, don't you think the 400 pt bolded headline is a little over the top?

Spud puts the use of the banner headline down to the naturally occuring residual guilt of a lapsed/cafeteria Catholic.

On Topic?

The wing nutty right here continues on with it's tradition of further marginalising itself with moderates and sane people, generally.

Nothing smells further or fouler than a burning martyr.

Obama's commitment to seeking consensus where available in the abortion debate makes him look like the pragmatic moderate he is and makes the Alan Keyesian wing of the party look like the shrill, uncompromising ideologues they are.

Score one fer Obama here.

Be Well.

hope Obama doesn't use the consensus consciousness to allow Iran to get bomb by nutty Israel

Obama: "I was a moderate by confession and a partisan by practice".... "I completely shunned National Day of prayer, but I have bowed to the Catholics who compromised with me." ... "Vengeance is sweet to me"...

national prayer day...you mean the day fake sincere people tell god what to do?

sounds like black magic to me:>)

Holy Shit Rogers, don't you think the 400 pt bolded headline is a little over the top?

I figured since the right wing was making so much out of the speech for weeks upon weeks, it was worth giving big play. Ain't every day you see a pro-choice president giving the commencement at a Catholic university.

Obama 1, new born infants born alive that are allowed to die 0

Opposed legislation protecting born-alive failed abortions

Obama has consistently refused to support legislation that would define an infant who survives a late-term induced-labor abortion as a human being with the right to live.

He insists that no restriction must ever be placed on the right of a mother to decide to abort her child.

On March 30, 2001, Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak against a bill that would have protected babies who survived late term labor-induced abortion.

Obama rose to object that if the bill passed, and a nine-month-old fetus survived a late-term labor-induced abortion was deemed to be a person who had a right to live, then the law would "forbid abortions to take place."


Ain't every day you see a pro-choice president giving the commencement at a Catholic university. -- #25 | Posted by rcade

I was stunned (in a good way) by a 2004 op-ed piece, written by a Dean at Notre Dame:

...surely the traditional Democratic concern with the social safety net makes it easier for pregnant women to make responsible decisions and for young life to flourish; among the most economically disadvantaged, abortion rates have always been and remain the highest. The world's lowest abortion rates are in Belgium and the Netherlands, where abortion is legal but where the welfare state is strong. Latin America, where almost all abortions are illegal, has one of the highest rates in the world...

In many ways, Catholic voters' growing political independence has led to a profusion of moral dilemmas: they often feel they must abandon one good for the sake of another. But while they may be dismayed at John Kerry's position on abortion and stem-cell research, they should be no less troubled by George W. Bush's stance on the death penalty, health care, the environment and just war. Given the recent history of higher rates of abortion with Republicans in the White House, along with the tradition of Democratic support of equitable taxes and greater integration into the world community, more Catholics may want to reaffirm their tradition of allegiance to the Democratic Party in 2004. www.nytimes.com


This partial birth abortion advocate urges us to "search for common ground" on infanticide?

Obama 1, new born infants born alive that are allowed to die 0

Still whining about Obama's vote on the PBA ban?

Couple things here.

First, PBA's make up less than 1% of all abortions done in the US.

Second, it was a bad bill crafted by right wing ideologues to essentially turn all abortion providers into criminals.

In 1997, Obama voted against SB 230, which would have turned doctors into felons by banning so-called partial-birth abortion, & against a 2000 bill banning state funding. Although these bills included an exception to save the life of the mother, they didn't include anything about abortions necessary to protect the health of the mother. The legislation defined a fetus as a person, & could have criminalized virtually all abortion.

Obama did the right thing there.

Be Well.

Oops, you were talking about the "born alive treatment act"

KK. Let's roll the tape back to the third Presidential debate between JSM III and BHO, shall we?

McCAIN: Sen. Obama, as a member of the Illinois State Senate, voted against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion. He voted against that. Then there was another bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the state of Illinois not that long ago, where he voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion. That's a matter of his record.

OBAMA: If it sounds incredible that I would vote to withhold lifesaving treatment from an infant, that's because it's not true. There was a bill that said you have to provide lifesaving treatment. The fact is that there was already a law on the books in Illinois that required providing lifesaving treatment, which is why not only myself but pro-choice Republicans and Democrats voted against it.

Speaking of drivel from somebody fucked up...
btw, for a criminal act to take place, a crime must be committed. Since Nixon, Ford, Reagan and both Bushes made sure the legality of abortoins since Roe V. Wade was never seriously challenged,it seems the Heroes of the Right are pro-scissors in an infant's head, too.
Then again, since 70+% of the electorate approves of some form of abortion, maybe they just went with political reality over "family values".

He did not back down. That's a good thing.

An interesting side note.

Thursday on CNN, a graduating student stated that she felt so strongly disagreed with President Obama's speaking at Notre Dame that she was willing to forgo attending the ceremony. Instead she and other like minded students would be attending what she referred to as a "celebration of life".

When the interviewer asked if she was perhaps denying her parents and other loved ones the opportunity to see her graduate, she responded that her family supported her choice. She continued by mentioning that Notre Dame really has a two part graduation, consisting of actual graduations by department where the degree is given to those matriculating. The cap, walk across the stage and the handshake. A Kodak moment. A second graduation occurs the following day featuring the entire class enmasse. Her protest and standing up for her faith and beliefs really cost her nothing. No sacrifice, no risk and no denial to the self. Pure theater.

well it cost her something--she comes off like a small -minded, smug bitch

Obama's votes in the Illinois state legislature are trivia. He's the president of the United States. What matters is what he does now.

I haven't seen this speech yet, but the visuals of him smiling affably and speaking in that doctoral gown sure are tough to beat. He doesn't, unlike me in similar attire 18 years ago, look like a dork.

*Dan Quayle-call your Orifice......

Obama getting an honorary degree from Notre Dame is another example of him being awarded something he didn't earn and wasn't qualified for. What's next, Obama being awarded an honorary license to practice medicine or an honorary license to fly 747s?

I haven't seen this speech yet, but the visuals of him smiling affably and speaking in that doctoral gown sure are tough to beat. He doesn't, unlike me in similar attire 18 years ago, look like a dork.

The speech was quite good, and if possible you need to watch the President of Notre Dame's intro and speech. This was quite a day. You'll become critically aware just how small minded the protest shows are in comparison.

This was powerful. It was inspiring. It defines how our discussions on divisive issues should take place. The entire ceremony was respectful, courteous, even humble.

BTW, after watching the entire thing, the sniping on this thread really comes across as pathetic, childish - silly.

I'm assuming that all the protesting NDers immediately paid back their federal student loans in protest, too. And the undergrads will refuse to attend any classes where fed money is involved as well as refusing ANY fed assistance.

I expect Alan Keyes will register at ND so he can run for President.

Immorality that will destroy the USA. BO is going at a record pace to achieve it.

"Poverty of Ambition"--yes--really uplifting words from the one while at ASU.

Just got done watching the speech here:

www.youtube.com

Obama isn't going to change anyone's mind on abortion, but he does a good job of changing the tone in how the issue is confronted. I expect he'll continue to win hearts and minds of Catholics willing to vote on the basis of more than just this one issue, and even the pro-lifer who watched that speech will come away from it with the idea that he respects the spiritual basis of their view.

It's a nice piece of work. The controversy ginned up the past few weeks has just given Obama a larger platform to stake out the middle ground. I don't see how anything about this speech hurts him in any way.


The only downside I can see is that some atheists will realize that he isn't faking his faith and decide that he couldn't possibly be as smart as he seems.





Obama could have easily avoided the hecklers if only he had made them sign Loyalty Oaths.

Not to change the subject, but the best fast food burger is Whataburger, which always comes with mustard.

I thought Obama's speech was well done. He was thoughtful, civil, respectful and came across as an adult. Try as they might, it will be hard for anyone to turn him into a caricature on the basis of anything he said today.

My sister graduated from ND today. Campus was absolutely quiet, and the bulk of the 40 or so people standing outside the gates were simply people who were wandering by curious to see what was going on (though the idiots driving the trucks with the pictures of aborted fetuses on them were extremely annoying - just circling back and forth in front of campus). It was entertaining to see the reporters panning to a prayer protest vigil with all of 4 students in attendance.

I do wonder if the students attending the protest commencement in the Grotto will get their diplomas. The department commencements aren't allowed to give those out - they have to be picked up in the Joyce ACC before the main commencement in order to force the students to attend.

Obama spoke like antichrist will speak to achieve his purpose --- talk like you're on their side and push policies that hurt them!

As for the student protesters, if they are denied graduation, its a price they have to pay to stand by their convictions: that life is precious and murder of babies in the mother's womb is an abomination to God.

As usual, Obamazombies are orgasmic over the Great Poser's act and empty rhetoric.

I thought this abourtion issue was a done deal. As a man, I could really care less.


If the women want it legal then they should organize and say so, else these right-to-lifers will make it illegal.

Simple.

It is legal, and it will stay legal until doctors agree when REAL self sustaining LIFE begins.

At least northguy gets it. Legal abortion on demand is here to stay and there is no threat.

"At least northguy gets it. Legal abortion on demand is here to stay and there is no threat."

You're SURE? I would agree that it probably won't be banned entirely, but do you think "on demand" is accurate?


"PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995."

Yes, we already had an entire thread on that poll, with a ton of posts on it.

And the original poster there tried the same misdirection as you do...

More people CALL themselves "pro-life" than "pro-choice", but if you read the actual poll, only 22% think abortion should be completely illegal.

76% believe that abortion should be completely legal, or legal with some restrictions.

"76% believe that abortion should be completely legal, or legal with some restrictions."

"And yes. Good job!"

You understand, of course, that I still consider Rasmussen as usually being most accurate...right? That OK with you? I sure hope so, I'd hate to give them up entirely.

I seem to remember other pro-choice politicians speaking at Notre Dame without all this fuss. What do they hate more, the message or the messenger? Does one have to agree with every Church tenet before being allowed to address the student body? Who else had to pass this litmus test?

How about ASU refusing to give Obama and honorary degree because he has not accomplished enough yet.
Talk about self important a__holes and their delusions. At least ND had the good form to bestow him with a degree.

"I seem to remember other pro-choice politicians speaking at Notre Dame without all this fuss. What do they hate more, the message or the messenger? Does one have to agree with every Church tenet before being allowed to address the student body? Who else had to pass this litmus test?"

The issue was that ND is a PRIVATE, Catholic university and the Catholic Church is adamantly opposed to abortion...as they have a right to be. I think most of the protest was not so much as allowing Obama to speak as it was to presenting him an honorary degree seeing as his position on the issue is so far away from that of the Church.

And yet the majority of Catholics voted for Obama, and only 28% of Catholics surveyed objected to Obama's being invited to speak and receiving an honor.

So is the position of every politician who is a proponent of capital punishment.

"....only 28% of Catholics surveyed objected to Obama's being invited to speak and receiving an honor."

Well then, I suppose that it was some of this group present at the university yesterday.

(Did you get these numbers from Rasmussen? :-))

The crowd at the commencement welcomed Obama, regardless of their personal feelings about abortion. Protesters who tried to interrupt him were met immediately with boos, as this video shows:

#15 | Posted by Bani

or just another Catholic relic?

I don't recall mentioning Roe vs Wade at all here lately nor really care much for that particular decision since it shouldn't be a political issue anyway?

But if you insist there's a biblical quote (Genesis 2:7) legitimizing abortion to get you all riled up as to its pertinent meaning in regards to biblical truths as surmised by heathens & whatnots:>)


"When Does Life Begin?"
"According to the bible, life begins at birth--when a baby draws its first breath. The bible defines life as "breath" in several significant passages, including the story of Adam's creation in Genesis 2:7, when God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Jewish law traditionally considers that personhood begins at birth.

Desperate for a biblical basis for their beliefs, some antiabortionists cite obscure passages, usually metaphors or poetic phrasing, such as: "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psalm 51:5 This is sexist, but does nothing other than to invoke original sin. It says nothing about abortion.

The Commandments, Moses, Jesus and Paul ignored every chance to condemn abortion. If abortion was an important concern, why didn't the bible say so?"


The pre-speech hysteria was promoted by a vocal minority of mostly professional Lifers who wanted to set the stage for SC hearings.


Like Alan Keyes who managed to get TV face time by being arrested twice.

Update From Notre Dame - Randall Terry, in speaking by phone with Fox's Chris Wallace, said he's very disappointed at the low protest turnout. Few students have the pro-life emblem on their mortarboards. Obama received a resounding applause when he entered the hall and when he received the honorary degree. Wallace said that there has been a overwhelmingly positive response to Obama.

Somebody posted video from Obama's address earlier today showing the crowd loudly booing a protester in the audience who tried to disrupt the ceremony.

Yeah, I started a thread on Friday on how FoxNews was trying to make a news event out of nothing over this.

All that attention and Obama walks up and knocks it out of the park.

I love to watch the Right shit their pants daily over Obama. It's the most fun I have had in the political arena my entire life.

After 8 years of crying in the closet, liberals like manypaths should be entitled to enjoy a little sun, exhale, and let off steam.... after all, liberals are sissies and cannot bear to think of terrorists being waterboarded for the safety of all liberals and ACLU.

Cheney should take a break from waterboarding liberals by simply appearing on networks and talking in gravitas, making Obama look like a schoolboy who just got promoted by favoritism and bias....

#102 | Posted by takitez

You're drifting far from Christianity, Sandwich Board Boy. Your personal meltdown has obviously kicked into high gear.

"Cheney should take a break from waterboarding liberals ..."

The closest Cheney has dared to come to waterboarding is in his dreams, the ones where he gets orgasms while being waterboarded.

But he should stick to the topic of waterboarding. It's probably the only one on which he can string together a sentence.

#103....

I responded to #101 in the spirit of: 'answer a fool according to his folly...'

That's in Proberbs and Proverbs is in the Good Book.

There are lots of good books. At the moment I'm reading Alan Furst's Foreign Correspondent and I'll tell you, it's a darn good book.

#106...Yes, I need to read some good books beside The Good Book.

I have read Obama's 'Hope' and found it well written... but with a spot or two unsavory...

The fact that Jesus is still dead comes in a close second though.

Obama spoke like antichrist will speak to achieve his purpose --- talk like you're on their side and push policies that hurt them!

As for the student protesters, if they are denied graduation, its a price they have to pay to stand by their convictions: that life is precious and murder of babies in the mother's womb is an abomination to God.

How many people are you and your fellow 'Christians' going to label as the 'antichrist' only to not have it come to fruition before you realize how stupid you sound?

"he's the Antichrist"...nothing happens

"well, then it's HIM, HIM RIGHT THERE, HE'S the Antichrist....nothing happens

"must be THAT GUY THEN! Yup, he's the Antichrist"....nothing happens


I realize that you yourself probably don't even believe half the shit you type but instead, understand that it has the desired affect of painting him as 'evil' in the eyes of your fellow crackpots.

You sound like Chicken Little.

#109... commonsense.... I didn't say obama is antichrist; I said he spoke 'like' antichrist --- who will be so smooth that liberals will embrace him like he's the one.

I said he spoke 'like' antichrist --- who will be so smooth that liberals will embrace him like he's the one.

So the antichrist will be a smooth talker whose silver tongue lets him escape detection... like a televangelist... or a preacher...

TakeIt and Afkababble remind of little as much as mice clawing their way up an elephant's leg intending to commit rape. A few psychiatric misfits repeatedly bad-mouth any leader to left of Tamerlane and darker than Carrie Prejean. President Obama will survive their ugliness, in all probability never know it is there, but goddam! Will someone not tell him that his tent can be TOO friggin' big? herm

#112.... there is cancer in Obama's tent --- he shunned the National Day of Prayer and praised the contribution of Islam to America.

Maybe liberals are wishing for Islamic days like this in America (already happening in Europe). I'm sure liberals will play a big role in ushering the values of Islam to America...

(What has ACLU and Islam in common: they both hate Christianity --- and Obama is timidly nodding from afar)

(What has ACLU and Islam in common: they both hate Christianity --- and Obama is timidly nodding from afar)

What do Christianity and Islam have in common?

Uh, the same god...

Zombie... its news to me if you really believe that Islam recognizes Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and only way to the Father (John 14:6; I Timothy 3:16).

Um... did you even bother to respond to my earlier post about the bible being entirely self-referential? Which makes your gratuitous quotation of scripture absolutely worthless.

Let me go fetch it for you.

"The bible says nothing to people who don't already believe in it. Kinda like that island in Pirates of the Carribean that can only be found by people that have already been there."

I'll quote/paraphrase myself again:

Your perspective is the alternative to my beliefs? You mean one alternative among thousands. How many other perspectives threaten eternal disaster if you don't do something (often something strange)? How many of them offer any proof?

What if the Mayans were right? Hope your affairs are in order... 2012 is coming!

What if the Hindus are right? You'll be reincarnated as a dog for sure.

What if the Muslims are right? I guess you don't have much to worry about, but I'm screwed.

What if the Norse are right? Are you ready for Ragnarok? My battleaxe is sharp enough to shave with. What about you?

I can go on all night with this sort of crap. Just because a book says "believe this or else" means nothing. Now, you'll reply that you have your "witness of the holy spirit" and that somehow makes you special. Every other faith has its equivalent concept to cement the beliefs of the faithful. Christianity is nothing special, nor is any other religion. They're variations of the same theme, but you're too deeply mired in dogma to see that. If Christianity speaks most clearly to you, that's great. It is exceedingly arrogant and misguided to expect it to do so for others.

You cannot establish the superiority of your own faith except by quoting from a source that you initially assume to be true and do not subject to the least bit of scrutiny. This is pathetic.

Your beliefs, and those of all fundamentalists, are repugnant and benefit society about as much as a swine flu-laden sneeze.

Manypaths-

"Wow! You'll fit in nicely here on the right with the other fucking morons."

On what do you base your belief that I'm "on the right"? Because I made a mistake and then acknowledged it?

In your world, acknowledging a mistake makes one a moron?

How old are you?

Zombie, your opinion on the Bible has no value to me, for obvious reasons....

I like Christianity because you can quit and nobody wants to decapitate you.

It is strange that people who don't believe spend so much time and energy worrying.

And then there's the whole Christians wrote the U.S. Constitution thingy, not the Mayans or the Hindus or the Muslims or the Norse.

But that was then, this is now. Now we're just so much more enlightened and reasonable.

"What has ACLU and Islam in common: they both hate Christianity..."

I've been an ACLU member for half a century, long was a chapter board chair. I can assure the author if this that the ACLU could care less about Christianity, is totally neutral to it as long as everyone gets the mandated equal rights. Islam MAY well be the same. herm

And then there's the whole Christians wrote the U.S. Constitution thingy, not the Mayans or the Hindus or the Muslims or the Norse.

How come this stupid right-wing meme has any traction given you can just look up the history of the U.S. Constitution?

And then there's the whole Christians wrote the U.S. Constitution thingy, not the Mayans or the Hindus or the Muslims or the Norse.

Funny, the word "Jesus" doesn't appear anywhere in it, and many of the men who founded this nation were Deists and freemasons (freemasons were among the earliest proponents of ecumenicism and religious tolerance). Use the googles if you doubt this.

I like Christianity because you can quit and nobody wants to decapitate you.

Same goes for a lot of religions... including Islam. It's the fundies that fuck everything up. If they had their way, you'd see christian headchoppers in the US.

Zombie, your opinion on the Bible has no value to me, for obvious reasons....

Wow. I guess taking such an arrogant position conveniently absolves you of addressing any of the flaws I point out in your interpretation of Christianity.

Is this intellectual cowardice, or pure, unadulterated delusion?

#109... commonsense.... I didn't say obama is antichrist; I said he spoke 'like' antichrist --- who will be so smooth that liberals will embrace him like he's the one.

BULLSHIT!!

You're such a fucking liar!

Need proof? How about this post;

Shame on cowardly Georgetown University!
Shame on antichrist Obama!

WOW....debunked in the first post. How about this one;

Obama may be antichrist.... Hitler ordered crosses be taken down in churches: Obama wished the named of Jesus be covered in a recent visit. Shame on you, Obama! (and the liberals have the guts to call him a practicing christian).

This one;

but how long can this last before the nation discovers Obama's handlers who are all in antichrist mode,

How about this gem;

The Democrats are in a biggest power grab in the history of this nation --- and either the spirit of anti-Christ is driving the liberals or Obama is really a closet AC: because the dems are bent on curtailing Christian freedoms. Very scary!

So, you see, your words will follow you on here and you can pretend you didn't say that Obama is the 'AC' but we ALL KNOW YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT!!

I'm done schooling you. Go back to being afraid of everything.


Post #109... I did not call Obama antichrist.... as clear as sunrise.

#127 | Posted by takitez at 2009-05-19 12:44 AM

Yes you did.

1 John 1:18-19.... "... many antichrists have come.... they went out from us ... " [Obama and team shunned National Day of Prayer]...

Surely, Obama and team are powerfully influenced by the spirit of antichrist...

#128... at other places I called him that, but not in #109.... I simply likened him to it.

Or maybe your antichrist doesn't exist...

Occam says you need a shave...

Today I discovered something residing deep in the psyche of Zombiehunter: the mention of Islam riles him and makes him to defend Islam.

I must have touched a raw nerve.... hehehehe....

[Obama and team shunned National Day of Prayer]...

We've been over this before,he says he observed it privately.
you know like the bible quoters say Jesus said to do

#132 | Posted by takitez at 2009-05-19 12:57 AM

I discovered something in you:

You're a "Christian" who lies when it's suits your purposes. Figures.

#129.... the scripture passage is 1 John 2:18-19.

Exodus 20:16 "Thou shalt not lie".

Oops, Takitez

I have to be perfectly frank with you, Takitez. You got caught in a lie - red handed.

Post #109... I did not call Obama antichrist.... as clear as sunrise.

See, now that's what normal people call a 'lie'.

You've called him the anti-Christ on at least several occasions.

So, now onto my original post:
How many people are you and your fellow 'Christians' going to label as the 'antichrist' only to not have it come to fruition before you realize how stupid you sound?

I received many emails the last three elections - all claiming Al Gore, then Kerry, then Obama are the 'antiChrist'.

Fundamental Christians are lunatics who think any Democrat running for President is the 'antiChrist'. Pathetic.

#135... I've been accused of this before....

and I do acknowledge imperfections and imperfect memories.... but in #109 I simply likened Obama to ac.

If you refuse to accept this assertion, then no one can do anything about it: for you have free-will.

I am participating here knowing full well liberals and the godless will band together and attack folks like me. No surprise!

Today I discovered something residing deep in the psyche of Zombiehunter: the mention of Islam riles him and makes him to defend Islam.

The mention of bullshit leads me to call the bullshit for what it is... ask JeffNDenmark.

If you're looking for a glimpse into my psyche, here you go: I think fundamentalists are a plague upon humanity... and people such as myself are a vaccine.

I am participating here knowing full well liberals and the godless will band together and attack folks like me. No surprise!

#140 | Posted by takitez at 2009-05-19 01:07 AM

When you tell bald faced lies about what you've said or didn't say and are proven a liar don't expect an ice cream party.

Yes, there are many antichrists out there: then and now! Clearly warned in 1 John 2:18-19.

Many antichrists --- the antichrist will be the last one.

" I am participating here knowing full well liberals and the godless will band together and attack folks like me. No surprise!"

#140 | Posted by takitez at 2009-05-19 01:07 AM

I'm a Christian.

To be perfectly frank, you're a liar who calls herself a "Christian" and got caught in a bald faced lie your own posts prove.

Well,we were ready for a Change,LOL

#142... hehehe another self-righteous judge is here who refuses to accept my statement in #127. Hohum....

Takitez

You called Obama antiChrist. Quit lying. You're pathetic and off your rocker too.

#142... hehehe another self-righteous judge is here who refuses to accept my statement in #127

Self righteous describes you to a 'T'. Now you're just parsing. Everyone who's ever spent time in church was taught about THE antiChrist - not LOTS of 'antiChrists'.

Now you're just trying to cover your lie.

I am participating here knowing full well liberals and the godless will band together and attack folks like me. No surprise!

So what do you hope to accomplish? There is an art to persuasion, and if you are looking to "save souls," you should be more aware of it.

My bet is that you are infatuated with yourself- you believe that you possess a true gift in some sort of connection to god and you feel that you are so special that you should foist it off on everyone else...

Is Takitez a woman?

Oh self-righteous and rigid judge Pfrank, in #109 I simply likened Obama to ac.

(In other places I did call Obama ac as he behaved that way --- just as Jesus called Peter Satan when Peter insisted against God's will for Jesus (Matthew 16:23)).

Peter recovered from his folly; so Obama too can recover from his follies.

Peter recovered from his folly; so Obama too can recover from his follies.

But you're too far gone to help.

--- just as Jesus called Peter Satan when Peter insisted against God's will for Jesus

I wouldn't bring this up at the Pearly Gates,If I was you

IIRC The AntiChrist is none other than Satan Himself.

Larry

Actually my original statement is in post #65....

Obama spoke LIKE...

Judges, please meditate on the word 'like' in the sentence.

"Oh self-righteous and rigid judge Pfrank, in #109 I simply likened Obama to ac."

Takitez

I got curious and read your User Blog. You're the most self righteous person I've run across online in several years. How dare you question someone else's Christianity.

Why aren't you out right now ministering to the homeless, praying in a closet, showing some humility - you know, like JESUS CHRIST said to do?

praying in a closet,

Like Carrie had to do

#153: BruceAZ, the Jesus I serve gives all of us chances to recover from all our follies.... and He is kinder than you.

Yes, Larry (#154), The Antichrist is Satan, to be ditinguished from 'many antichrists' spoken in 1 John 2:18-19.

#165... I hope you're doing all that. Great.
I'm also curious if you really know what I've been doing.

ooops #159 is referring to #156, not #165. sorry.

I'm also curious if you really know what I've been doing.

#159 | Posted by takitez

Reading your user blog is an education in how to be a self righteous extremist.

#161...Thank you for your opinion... but folks like you cannot deter me from posting here and be attacked by liberals, godless and people like you.

I guess I'm not good at watering scripture down to be praised by worldly people. I hope you can pray for me on that one.

Wow. What a self righteous post!!

Why don't you get yourself a power drill and claim stigmata? You'd find it equally ineffective and unattractive as your blathering posts are. That's a suggestion from a lifelong Christian.

and He is kinder than you.

but folks like you cannot deter me from posting here and be attacked by liberals, godless and people like you.

Hey, take it easy,I'm sure Jesus doesn't want you to stroke out.

Your rooms not ready yet

Post away

hehehe.... keeps coming....

Listen, if your idea of humility is to stop witnessing altogether in places like this, then I guess I'll take my marching orders from the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:2-7) than opinions like yours.

Witness away,
I have no problems that you have faith,good for you.Type all you want.
If I wasn't enjoying this bantor I would have signed off.

" Listen, if your idea of humility is to stop witnessing altogether in places like this.."

You call what you're doing 'witnessing'? Lunacy.

Calling a President the antiChrist because you don't agree with his politics only serves to make you seem a daft, crazed extremist who'd serve Christianity better by turning off your computer.

PFrank... maybe I have missed all your previous posts... but if your willing to worship Obama morae than Christ, that's your choice. If you're afraid to hurt the feelings of liberals and hide your opinions, that's your choice.

But it looks like we disagree and I'll rest on that --- and continue to post what I feel needed to be expressed.

And BTW, I look forward to seeing some of your superior and heartmoving posts in keeping with your long Christian faith --- such that it will shame me to realize my shortcomings and wish to learn from your wonderful wisdom. Meanwhile, I hope you will not be so offended by my posts to the point of hating me which according to John is tantamount to murder (1 John 2:11).

Nobody worships Obama,But we have great hopes that this nation can straighten this out.

Nobody hates you Job

#169....The scripture verse is 1 John 3:15, not 2:11.

#169....The scripture verse is 1 John 3:15, not 2:11.

Wow,you made a mistake? How can I be sure of anything else now?

So long as I'm declaring the truth (2 Tim. 4:2-4), I don't care if people call me nuts, fundie, or whatever name they can invent --- that is why I am not disappearing from here. Silencing Christian witness by insulting them is a game played very well by the world and many Christians themselves have bought into it. I'm not getting arrested or being stoned for witnessing: what a privilege!

Why, I pray for the nation and I pray even for Obama and his administration; but if some of what they do is in opposition to my beliefs, then I have every right to voice my opinions --- just as others are entitled to disagree with me.

then I have every right to voice my opinions .

Like I said "post away".I even googled all your verses.I've read this whole post and not one person has told you to "STFU".So relax.

OK, Bruce....

I heard a wonderful sermon by Nick Floyd from TV today. Looks like you're in AR. Go listen to him occasionally.

Sorry,I don't know what AR means?

Nick Floyd,I'll check him out for kicks,I'll write it down,getting kinda late.

Arizona...
good night.
www.scribd.com

Arizona=Az

goodnight to you too,I saved your link.

I realized later: AZ =Arizona; AR=Arkansas.

A/C not working at the liberry today?

its working about as good as your spell check...hee hee

You are going to have a long wait Bush Lover. That only occured in your little fucking mind.


Hundreds of anti-abortion advocates gathered Sunday at the foot of the Golden Dome for a prayerful protest of President Barack Obama's planned commencement address and honorary law degree.


If Bush Lover is going to continue to post here, RCADE needs to institue a BullShit Flag.


Again, I understand your need to lie Bush Lover but you aren't fooling anyone.


Well, anyone outside the Newbie......

#97 | Posted by Manypaths at 200


oh yeah...lets use numbers from media who dont even mention it in the first place in ANY newscast..
that really makes them reliable doesnt it.
fact remains...there were people there NOT KISSING THE ROYAL BLACK ASS besides jenkins

Wow, a thread centered around the serial abuser of the second commandment (or third, depending on your religion), the anti-Christ Takitez himself. Since this is nowhere near the first time, does this put him in the pantheon of the other great posters who have wound a thread around themselves?

Actually my original statement is in post #65....

Obama spoke LIKE...

Judges, please meditate on the word 'like' in the sentence.

#155 | Posted by takitez at 2009-05-19 01:27 AM | Reply | Flag:


When I originally responded to your #65 post, I simply asked;

"How many people are you and your fellow 'Christians' going to label as the 'antichrist' only to not have it come to fruition before you realize how stupid you sound?"

I never said 'IN YOUR #65 POST'. I was simply responding to it because it was the latest in which you use Obama and AC in the same sentence. You see, it's called a 'history' and all of us have one here on the retort. I've seen you type your loony shit before so I asked you the question.

Knowing you have a PROVEN history of calling Obama the AC (not simply likening him to AC), I asked you my original question to you, to which you replied you didn't call him the AC. You tried to play the semantics game for some odd reason.

Face it, you're a liar. It's OK though. I've come to expect nothing less.

#183.... Commonsense... OK, let there be peace. Though some confusion has set in, in your original intention you were not wrong, and in my particular incident I was not wrong.

Be well.

If they had their way, you'd see christian headchoppers in the US.
