Americans are regarded as just all-round generally dumb. I'm not saying this to get at you, since it's a false and stupid generalisation (all Americans I know are wonderful intelligent people, and it's a hellaciously big country), but I'm just saying, nobody else really sees a difference. Republicans, Democrats, why do people care? What kind of country can't even decide what kind of government it has? :P<br /><br />I still don't really know what the difference between a Republic and Democracy is in America? Rome vs Greece?<br /><br />I only know something about it because I made a special effort in reading a blog by another Christian American fighting for God and Country. <br /><br />Finally understood what the heck 'The Contender' was about.Mudznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-87809392310936854772012-11-22T17:23:19.466-05:002012-11-22T17:23:19.466-05:00My answer, bach:

The Universe 15 billion, more or less. <br /><br />God created it all, created us, and holds it all in existence. <br /><br />As the Second Person of the Trinity, He came to suffer and die for our sins. <br /><br />There's no reason to pander to anyone. It's ok just to tell the truth. mregnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431770851694587832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-1929307188421000422012-11-22T16:40:18.714-05:002012-11-22T16:40:18.714-05:00The Torch,

In my tiredness, I combined the two questions - the age of the Earth and the literalness of the account in Genesis - into one, the age of the Earth. Which my first comment indicates, in pointing out that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old. <br /><br />My mistake. As a metaphorical answer to the question asked it was quite acceptable, whether from Rubio, Obama or even Egnor (if he'd been asked).bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-40036815150125222232012-11-22T13:21:21.153-05:002012-11-22T13:21:21.153-05:00@Dr Egnor: Hehe.

They oppose any literacy or civics test for suffrage because their voters wouldn't pass. They don't know where their candidates stand on the issues, they just want their Obamaphones. (Sorry, KW has decided that we aren't allowed to discuss Obamaphones.)<br /><br />"Wouldn't he be alienating informed Democrats with a statement like that?" <br /><br />No. See KW's witty response. The Left knows that their people lie to get votes. There's always a wink and a nod between leftist elected officials and leftist voters. That's why they have no problem with their guys invoking God to justify their postitions. It's understood that their invocation is fake. That's why they cut Obama so much slack on the gay marriage thing for so long. He was lying like a rug and they knew it. If they had believed for a moment that he was sincere they would have given him the Chick-Fil-A treatment. They don't have a problem with religion so long as it is completely fradulent. <br /><br />Joey Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-40945428723841831602012-11-22T06:36:12.111-05:002012-11-22T06:36:12.111-05:00Can we safely assume that whenever liberals sound ...Can we safely assume that whenever liberals sound like normal Americans, they are in fact lying?

I understand. Now, can we admit that Obama says a lot of crap he doesn't believe? Like, for example when he says that he believes in God? I sense a profound fakeness in his supposed faith, and yet, when I say that I am attacked. It's simply out of bounds to say that Barack Obama may not be a Christian. <br /><br />And another thing: why would a Democrat have to pander to the ignorant just to get votes? Aren't their voters smarter? Wouldn't he be alienating informed Democrats with a statement like that? It sounds like you're implying that Obama is courting the stupid vote. <br /><br />The TorchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-38202791374640960182012-11-22T02:21:41.221-05:002012-11-22T02:21:41.221-05:00The only people who can be fooled by pathological ...The only people who can be fooled by pathological liars are people who *want* to be fooled by their lies.

I knew that Rubio had got into a knot trying to evade a question concerning the age of the Earth. Obama's answer to the question put is a perfectly acceptable metaphorical answer to the question. If Rubio had given the same answer to the same question, then it would have been a perfectly acceptable answer too. Assuming that you think that Genesis has any metaphorical truth, that is, instead of being a plagiarism of earlier religious myths.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-38514488315937936852012-11-21T17:13:10.911-05:002012-11-21T17:13:10.911-05:00"I would, except for the fact that I’m confid..."I would, except for the fact that I’m confident Obama is simply placating the ignorant."<br /><br />Well, that was predictable.K T Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259428595745509790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-91659828517227119942012-11-21T16:33:17.712-05:002012-11-21T16:33:17.712-05:00“KW: will you now demand that President Obama be k...“KW: will you now demand that President Obama be kept off all science committees?”<br /><br />I would, except for the fact that I’m confident Obama is simply placating the ignorant.
