    Yes we did. It’s just that violence didn’t occur.

    GEE1A, “college grade appeals” ring a bell–or did you never do any?

    In 90% of grade-appeals, two results are possible:

    (a) original grade confirmed (b) original grade lowered (removal of “+” or addition of “-“) by 0.4

    Change the name to Obama and the circumstance to valid birth certificate and try again.

    What is not well understood by most Americans is that both candidates were approved to run for election by the ruling theocracy.

    The ruling theocracy would control either candidate (whoever won) like a fricking hand puppet.

    Americans …… we are so close to being a theocracy like Iran.

    Imagine if the Supreme Court had ruled the other way. We would be shoveling manure into our gas tanks,

    Honestly, how can people believe in the birth certificate conspiracy?? That’s the lamest conspiracy ever. Well, I guess there are people who believe the moon landing was faked, that evolution is “only’ a theory and that Bush wasn’t elected in 2000, so people will believe anything if they’re crazily invested enough. (must resist temptation to bring belief in God into this…)

    Misterwhite: not a theocracy in the religious sense. In this country the power resides with money, not religion. And regardless of which party is in power, certain things about money are inviolable:

    the military budget (particularly the procurement-of-weapons part) will increase, even in peacetime the financial industry will be kept profitable, no matter how much it costs the taxpayers (about $1 trillion and counting…) any reform to health care will first and foremost preserve the profits of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries “clean energy” must preserve the profits of the existing energy companies (coal, oil, nuclear, gas)

    Candidates who don’t accept these basic restrictions find themselves without campaign funding or media coverage (both of which ultimately depend on corporate money), which means they aren’t really candidates.

    Our system is not that much different from Iran’s; it’s just that our Supreme Mullahs worship the Almighty Dollar.

    The moon landing was not fake. The almighty dollar is the ruler of this world. “The love of money is the root of all evil.” We are aliens.

    I guess if one disagrees with one’s smug ranting than that person MUST be an idiot… there can be no other reason… sheeez!

    Say it now and say it loud, I’m an idiot and I am proud.

    (Given that the alternative to idiocy is concurrence with those of even lower IQ, I accept gladly the label of “idiot.”)

    Never trust a country whose leader has “leader” in his title – i.e., Führer, Duce, Supreme Leader.

    Desultory, you lose. Completely. Obama is a US citizen. If he isn’t, neither was John McCain. Why? Both were born to US citizens (McCain was born in Panama). Period. End of discussion. Kindly shut up.

    Thanks Blue Raven. I am so tired of funnies turning into conspiracy theories.

    Like the world is doing so much better now than it was when Bush was there. Kindly stop being a HATER!

    Sheeez!

    Step back from the kool-aid Blue Raving. Nobody said he’s not a citizen. It’s the natural born part that’s in question. McCain was given at least a cursory vetting. Why wasn’t Obama? As far as I’m concerned neither one of them was worthy of being president.
