Re: PS - Maybe now some will understand what 911 was all about!
Bin Laden and Al Gore are now two peas in a pod because Bin Laden has jumped on the "man-caused" global warming band wagon.
Bin Laden and John 10:10 are two peas in a pod, because they both breath. So John 10:10 should stop breathing so as to clearly differentiate himself from Bin Laden.

The argument of the OP is just silly. My reply was using a comparable argument as a way of pointing out it silliness.

A hearty welcome.
Thanks.
Have a good read at the OP. Some beef is there to chew on, including what I've cited. No?
No.
The OP is absurd.

According to the Wall Street Journal,
The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro.
That seems to be disinformation from the usual right wing suspects.

Bogus Brazilian Oil Claims - FactCheck.org
Q: Did Obama loan $2 billion to Brazil’s oil company to benefit China and George Soros?
A: The president had nothing to do with the loan, which the Export-Import Bank approved for Brazil to buy U.S.-made equipment and services.

Here is the article from the WS Journal, hardly a right wing source.
False!
Your link is not to the Wall Street Journal. It is a link to a right wing blog.
Oh, and by the way, now that WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, it is moving further to the right than it was previously.
Oh, by the way, Soros is a private individual driven by the profit motive. What problem to you right wingers have with that?

Here is the same exerpt from the horse's mouth, the WS Journal's own website.
That comes straight from the opinion pages of the WSJ. It has all of the credibility of a right wing blog. As I said before, it comes from the usual right wing suspects.
Buzsaw writes:
Read up on Soros. The profit motive is fine when it comes to to extended personal influence and addition to his own billions, but he is in no way a capitalist free market advocate.
Oh! So apparently the profit motive doesn't count when the person who holds it happens to disagree with your own extremist right wing ideology.

Buzsaw writes:
And the data you cited comes from what more objective source?
I am not making any claim, so I don't need to provide any source.
You have made a claim which is an accusation against Obama, and the only evidence you can come up with is opinion pieces from right wing ideologues.
Buzsaw writes:
Yours did not bother to mention the lucrative position Soros ...
I still haven't a clue as to why you are even mentioning Soros. As best I can tell, it is only because right wing ideologues hate Soros as much as they hate Obama.
Now maybe we should get off this diversion, and go back to discussing the topic of the OP (that is, if there is any actual content worth debating in the OP).
