Oh, so you intended to misspell "jihadist" and put apostrophes in five places where they don't belong?
Interesting.

Re: Important Question To Answer Here
quote:
Does not the appointment of Rahm Emanuel, Jewish and very pro-Israel as well as a fellow Chicagoite, as chief of staff not suggest to you that things are not quite as black and white with Obama as you seem think?
Surely you don't mean to suggest that Buz would let his opinions be swayed by anything as inconsequential as facts, do you?

Oh dear. Please tell me we're not going to spend another thread centered on Bertot's own personal definition of a word.

It's a work in progress, but just what is wrong with asking Americans to serve their country in ways outside of the military? If you want people to have in interest in the country, what better way than to give them a direct link to it? The arguments I've seen against this so far essentially say that this takes away power from the church and would indoctrinate these people with what the government wants them to think. As to indoctrination, that's what churches do to begin with.
When I first read the "America Serves" section, it proposed requiring a certain level of governmental service of all young people. I am quite pleased to see that the plan has been modified to simply encourage such service. I certainly would have opposed any plan to require service of anyone, and not because it took power away from churches.

Re: Socialized Medicine

Under the oppression of socialized medicine via a president Obama, our freedom to apply safe and effective unconventional alternative health care would be limited further.
Any actual evidence of this, or is it nothing more than paranoid rambling?

Homeopathy has been available on the NHS since the Health Service first began in 1948.
There are five NHS homeopathic hospitals in the NHS and qualified homeopathic doctors work in many other settings such as community-based clinics, general and private practices.
Holy cognitive dissonance, Batman!
