Did you read the excerpt from his book in the article that was totally made up? His father was a Marxist Muslim, he promoted a Marxist politician in Kenya, he went to a Marxist church, he was a member of a socialist organization, and he hung out with a lot of Marxists and other wackos, yet this is supposedly not relevant or even worth knowing about.Jon Vander Plashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524790609689760368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-66146356879510221592009-07-30T21:00:25.416-05:002009-07-30T21:00:25.416-05:00While I'm interested in hearing about this on ...While I'm interested in hearing about this on an intellectual level, I really think the whole "where you were born" issue is not relevant today.<br /><br />It's really a pretty stupid rule: "You have to be born in this country to be president."

"Making Work Pay Credit" provides individuals with a $400 income tax credit (sometime in 2010 when you file your next years return). "New American Opportunity Tax Credit" allows one to claim up to $2,500 income tax credit for qualified tuition in 2009. Subject to change based on an upcoming study by Congress, that may require students to perform community service as a condition of taking their tuition credits. "First-time Homebuyers Credit" provides $8,000 to a new first-time homebuyer, phased out at income over $75,000; who have not owned a home in the last 3 years. (Has congress heard that banks are not offering more loans to low-income families whom would not regularly qualify for a home.)<BR/>My personal favorite: "partial exclusion of unemployment compensation" under the recovery act up to $2,400 of unemployment benefits are excluded from gross income as well as extending the benefits. (More motivation to get back to work) All of these credits are planning pointers upon completing your 2009 return sometime in 2010. I am sure this will spur on the economy in the near future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-67276730500434603212009-02-05T10:52:00.000-06:002009-02-05T10:52:00.000-06:00Hey Jon.. my friend out here in LA invested in th...Hey Jon.. my friend out here in LA invested in the making of this film.

It's because they can't think of anything better (that doesn't include a Creator). <BR/><BR/>Another problem for the Dworkins crowd - the universe is fine tuned for life. If any of countless variables were just slightly different life could not exist. Some have now postulated that there are a near infinite number of universes, to make our universe more probable. However, there is no evidence of more than one universe (duh). <BR/><BR/>To Rudi's point, you're exactly right: matter and energy had to come from somewhere. It is amazing to see what lengths people will go to deny a Creator and even more amazing that these people now control what is "science" world wide. <BR/><BR/>The major problem, is that Intelligent Design is not allowed a seat at the table, even when it is clearly at least as probable as the theories mainstream Darwinists are presenting. I believe it is part of a larger effort by the left to make God a smaller and smaller part of our lives so it can be replaced by our new God - the state.Jon Vander Plashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524790609689760368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-85907499289112763182009-01-24T23:17:00.000-06:002009-01-24T23:17:00.000-06:00The other question that I always ask (in relation ...The other question that I always ask (in relation to the "big bang") is "What was banging?"<BR/><BR/>At a certain point, you logically have to have matter being created- which means that something had to precede matter.

He postulated that living gametes travelled to earth via comet from the planet Panspermia. Yes, this from a nobel laureate. Not only does it sound rediculous it also doesn't answer the the question. Saying life came from another planet or from Aliens only explains how life came to earth, not how life came from non-life. The only thing close to an explanation of life from non-life is the big bang theory, which obvious is not very solid because you have scientists coming up with these far fetched alternatives.Kyle Hommeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394181914537428312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-19156599575511709312009-01-21T20:31:00.000-06:002009-01-21T20:31:00.000-06:00Well put.

I'm sure I'll fail at times, so I'll count on you to reign me in, Scott.<BR/><BR/>I agree that Obama has, so far, been less liberal than one would suspect based on his background. Keeping Gates as Secretary of Defense was certainly a surprise. However, I have no doubt that Obama plans to take this country hard to the left while attempting to convince everyone he is being "moderate." <BR/><BR/>We need only look at two of his top priorities as president: eliminating all restrictions on abortion and the Employee Free Choice Act which will eliminate the right of a secret ballot for workers considering unionization. This legislation is about one thing: trampling over workers' rights in order to boost the power of labor unions and the Democratic party they whole heartedly support. <BR/><BR/>I'm also interested to see what Obama's plans are for the terrorists at Guantanamo.Jon Vander Plashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524790609689760368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-52994192750605566772009-01-21T12:59:00.000-06:002009-01-21T12:59:00.000-06:00That was indeed a very odd line to put in a prayer...That was indeed a very odd line to put in a prayer on this, or any, occasion. Clearly if Rick Warren had said such nonsense there would be all kinds of chatter about it for the next year.<BR/><BR/>I was struck by the general sense of goodwill towards Obama yesterday by nearly all, but especially those on the right. Watching Fox News (of course) yesterday all the commentators were gracious and so excited. I think that in part this is a credit to President Obama's personality--he's very affable and charming and has thus far has been much more moderate than his past record would have led me to believe. <BR/><BR/>I think also this is a credit to the quality of character of the conservative American voter. We do not throw pies at those who disagree with us. We do not say nonsense such as "Obama hates white people." We do not talk down our president to foreigners. We do not have riots if we lose elections. We do not liken our president or troops to the worst people in history (ie Hitler, Genghis Khan, etc.). We do not ruin people's lives because they support a ballot initiative we do not. I could continue but you get the point. <BR/><BR/>It is my hope, that as the year goes on this goodwill continues. It is also my hope that as disagreements arise with this administration, conservatives will disagree in an intellectual and respectful manner. Let us not resort to the insulting way that Bush was treated or even the way that Clinton was treated. That would seem to me to be change that conservatives, especially Christian conservatives, can believe in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-69083088314921694812009-01-12T23:35:00.000-06:002009-01-12T23:35:00.000-06:00Thanks Mitchbo for adding to the list.
