Let's see ... attended a prestigious private school in Hawaii, the very expensive Occidental College in California, Columbia, Harvard Law ... yup, that sure sounds like the experiences of all us little people alright.

Posted on 09/05/12 at 08:21 am in response to In the 2012 race for the White House, is religion fair game?

but you've overlooked the obvious.

This nation was founded on the principle of religious liberty. The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times and describes the uniqueness of America in that, unlike Europe, where power flows from God to the Throne to the People, in America "we are endowed by our Creator" ... power flows from God to the people and then to government.

The issue of religion in this campaign hasn't been about whether the Mormon practice of tithing is...

Actually, it's been well established that the left sees us as evil. We see them as stupid.

When Obama took office in January 2009 he had a democrat-controlled house and a democrat-controlled senate who gave him everything he asked for.

The republicans didn't take over congress until January 2011. He had two years of total control to do whatever he wanted. The problem is, he wanted the wrong things.

I'm sure the parents of Eric Mahmoud's poor, black student population will be thrilled to know someone considers their kids "cherry-picked."

When everyone else in society is paying several hundred dollars a month for their health insurance, it's time the state union employees be made to pay SOMETHING.

The public "servants" shouldn't have it better than their masters, the taxpayers.

your free health care and generous early retirement, it's not envy, it's disgust that the "public servants" are living high off of MY dime. But as Scott Walker showed, that will change as soon as the governor's office changes because the people agree with me.

I don't pay for the benefits of private sector employees, they do. And there is no private sector employer where the employees pay nothing for health insurance. Even people who work for health insurance companies pay SOMETHING...
