oh my, did I not say Bush was a lousy president. There are some of us who believe that the current president is not much better and his choice of advisors and Czars reflect on him as well. But these are just general opinions and only time and history will clue the future generation as to whether he was a good, great. bad, or lousy President.<br />
<br />
Perhaps while the mindset was dictatorial there were no clues that he was trying to be a dictator.<br />

Well the Tigers won and it is getting late. Hope everyone has a pleasant evening or sleep. I apparently got some people upset. I am sorry. I just think what I think of our President and say what I think. Maybe I am wrong but I will continue to say what I think. I just hope that I did not step over the line and make untoward comments about the people that disagree with me. I can see that you people are intelligent and educated and I probably am out of my league.<br />

I am just sorry that Biden didn't win the nomination and then the election. There are many of us that feel he would have been a much better President than anything either of the parties came up with. I am personally glad that Miss Palin is now derailed. There are, to some of us, indicators that she would have made a bad President. I loved listening to her but she just didn't make sense a lot of the time.

....Huh? "9/11"?<br />
<br />
Who the hell was talking about 9/11? I was talking about the warrantless wiretaps and surveillance, the cell phone and e-mail eavesdropping and data mining, the politicization of the Justice Department, the constant "With-Us-Or-Against-Us" propaganda, the "Heaven-Sent" social directives and the "Holy War" horseshit....Every one of those instances are indicative of a dictatorial mindset....

You are probably right about the decision. But some of the court decisions later made it difficult for teachers. Public display of praying in school could be interpreted as making others uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
So do you think public prayer is for hypocrites?

Have you ever read the Bible Mark. If so may I suggest that you go back and reread Matthew 6:5-6. Just to remind you it basically says public prayer is for hypocrits.<br />
You might also read Supreme Court decisions on prayer in schools. No where does any of them say children cannot pray in school. Only that they can't be forced or put in a position where they feel pressured to pray. I was a teacher for 38 years and not a day passed that I did not see children pray.

So are you saying because Democrats are not Christians they do all the wrong? Are you sure it works that way? Don' t think so. I know a lot of Dems that are Christian. Down to earth, hard working and intelligent people.

No we did not just get out of one of those. Good golly, everyone, including the Republicans, know what an inept president Bush was. But in spite of what some may think he did not orchestrate 9/11. That Czar was not one of the best choice for the job.

The government stole our money they damned well should take care of our health. It never should have started. I don't have a solution. I'm not smart enough for that. But stealing from a kid just starting out on his first job so that I may have health coverage is not right either.<br />

Fortunately except for a couple of stents in my arteries I am doing okay. My wife on the other hand has Alzheimer's. I'm doing what I can to keep her out of the hands of some nursing home. It scares me that I may not succeed. Her mother and dad both died shortly entering into one. I worry that could happen to her. The think is, that decision could be taken out of my hands. She had a couple of unrelated accidents where I took her to the emergency room. The ER personnel seemed more concerned about having her checked by the area office on aging than they were about her care in ER. I definitely felt they thought I couldn't take care of her and thought she should be put in a home. I don't think they thought about the fact she is still an intelligent person and putting her in a home could be crushing and destroy what little life she has now. But government regulations make them responsible to report to them if there is a possibility she is being abused or not properly cared for.

When religion was kicked out it was not because it was being taught in school but because some lady didn't think that the kids had the right to pray in school. At least that is the way I heard it.
