Well indoX, clearly not as brilliant as you. You are either engaged in misinformation campaign (many Xians seem to engage in this behavior), or ignorant. spending & obama did not create 10 % unemployment, economic crisis (started before obama did that). obama did not create 14 T deficit, he contributed to it just as reagan started enormous deficit growth and w bush topped reagan. obama inherited the economic crisis- economic problems the magnitude we experienced doesn't turn around over night, and you fail to realize without actions taken to shore up the banks and pump money into the system we would be in great depression2 rather than great recession.
here is quote from Judge Jones in the Kitzmiller v Dover trial you might relate to: "It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie ..."less

< only against his [obama] ill-advised policies that are driving this nation to the brink of disaster >___and why no mention of bush and reagan ill-advised policies of reduced taxes & increased spending resulting in the debt US faces today.
Why all the blame getting placed on obama, after all he inherited as economic crisis- almost all leading economists recommended temporary government spending to get economy out hole (Keynesian economics).
So squeak, where would you cut spending????less

The threat of eternal torture for the non-beleiver really a manifestation of the petty & vindictive nature of too many Xians, really quite pathetic. big reason i cant get on board with a religion based on threats, same tactic used by hitler to keep the populace frightened and in line......
squeak < Obama is driving our nation into utter bankruptcy >__ started under reagan, continued under W. bush, study up and learn the facts before you spout additional nonsense.

It is true obama is contributing to the debt, but he has no choice at this time (Keynesian economics) and if a republican was in the WH they would be doing the same thing just as bush did in his 8 years, 6 of those controlled by republicans in both houses.less
Rather interesting republican's didn't seem concerned as they pushed thru unfunded medicare drug discount for seniors, started to unfunded wars and doubled the national debt. now that a democrat is in the WH they insist on spending cuts and balanced budgets. what they really want to do is undermine the recovery and drag the economy down so that they can take obama down, never mind the damage t...more
Rather interesting republican's didn't seem concerned as they pushed thru unfunded medicare drug discount for seniors, started to unfunded wars and doubled the national debt. now that a democrat is in the WH they insist on spending cuts and balanced budgets. what they really want to do is undermine the recovery and drag the economy down so that they can take obama down, never mind the damage to the economy it will cause, part of the plan the republicans slash & burn tactic is all designed to destroy obama. their really nothing more that self-serving, petty children dressed in suits.
BTW DP, during times of economic down turn as we are experiencing now, history tells us stimulus spending on the part of the government is the medicine needed now- keynesian Economics, its what got US out of great depression. Unfortunately, during good economic times, we did not build surpluses, the other side of Keynesian economics. Modern day deficits started under reagan and continued under W. bush to bring us where we are today....less
Apparently early Xian church fathers & medieval scholars viewed the genesis creation as allegory and described "natural organisms as unstable and capricious" (sounds like hints of evolution), but the protestant reformation changed that and biblical literalism became dogma wherein the concept of species was static and fixed.

kitch, maybe the hats too tight....just a thought. looks like your deeper in the hole on your survey.
