They instilled Judeo-Christian principles into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Exactly. Let me demonstrate: Wilkar does not believe in wearing pants. Therefore Wilkar does not wear pants...Did I tell you that Wilkar doesn't wear pants?

I feel inclined to point out that Christianity has started more wars and caused more problems then it has solved, dating back to the Crusades.

Religious tolerance is excellent. I don't believe in religion personally, and I have no problem with people who do--so long as they don't insist on calling me an infidel or tell me that I'm going to hell. As for Obama, I didn't vote for him, but hey...he seems to be doing okay, so who cares?

Okay, as in debt up to our asses.

Actually, above our heads really.

I guess he's just mimicking the pending policies of the vast majority of the country though. Credit Card debt to the point you can't make ends meet.

Uh, don't forget, he inherited all of this mess. He wasn't the one who deregulated businesses to the point where they became massively fraudulent and or predatory, and he wasn't the one who decided to sink billions upon billions of dollars into the destabalization of a nation and then the effort to rebuild it's infrastructure.

Don't forget continuing military operations in another country simultaneously.

Iraq = mistake. Nobody is arguing that at the moment.

The war in Iraq has cost less than a Trillion dollars. While I hate to make that number sound trivial (it's not), Obamas deficit for just the first year of his budget is going to cost twice as much as the war in Iraq since 2004.

You're right about him inheriting this mess and it being somebody else's fault. Clinton was the one who forced Fannie/Freddie to take up loans to people who couldn't afford houses.

I'm sure if you were to trace it back, you could probably discover that this goes back as far as somebody like Truman or Eisenhower or maybe Nixon. The problems of a country are really not one person's fault in particular, its a conglomerate failure by not just a president or vice president, its the senate or congress and the fault of the people, because we elected the people in charge.

So yes, it is the fault of Bush for Iraq...but congress is able to put a stop to that. And as for Bush's stupid policies...Think about this: They held a multi-million dollar trial to attempt to impeach President Clinton for getting a blowjob. Bush sent the country off to war, led us into a bad economy...but isn't that alittle bit worse than a Blowjob? And if people would agree with that, why not impeach Bush before it got as bad as it did?

As an Alaskan, I see liberal groups putting up signs everywhere to impeach Governor Palin, but for what, most people honestly don't know, because she hasn't done anything wrong in our state, or on the national stage -- And I know that some of you are going to say how wrong I am about that, but there again, look at my example. We had a crooked President who sent thousands to their deaths on a mission of personal revenge for his Father...is anything worse than that?
