Politics and Religion

AT the risk of sounding like sychophant, thread proves that WW & Mein are very bright guys---HOWEVER

both have a tendency to "go off the tracks", meaning they have more in common then they'd like to admit.

One could easily dismiss Mein as a paranoid birther,
until you read following quote from this thread :

 "The franchise of voting has been seriously degraded over the past few decades to a series of non-choices as to which bought and already-paid-for puppet the electorate finds to be the lesser of two evils."

Fucking brilliant ! I'm in total agreement ! BHO could be legit. challenged to his POTUS competency on a number of fronts ( particularly on his handling of the economy, which could do him in in 18 months.) But the birther issue ?I'ts a crazy non-starter that delegitimizes BHO
opposition & could deliver Presidency to him by default.

If one has to say what is troubling this country is ( to paraphrase ANOTHER link by Mein )the polarization caused by the left-right continuum which is destroying the U.S. Both sides DON'T cut it anymore with their tired philosophies. A new VERTICAL political paradigm shift is needed.

As for WW, tho he's gone off the tracks several times ( IE, U.S. might get into shooting war Mexico, etc, etc ) he's spot on in this thread.
Regrettably, crazed right wing media is the tail that wags the dog with the GOP. For more info on this insane nonsense, go to link below :

It looks like Arizona's legislature has passed House Bill 2177, which would require a candidate seeking the highest office in the land to show their "long form birth certificate". The bill isn't too strict though. If a candidate doesn't have the ever elusive LFBC, then a candidate may offer an "early baptismal or circumcision certificate" to the Arizona Secretary of State before being approved for being on the state ballot. Smart move to keep secret Muslims out of the White House!

vetoed the bill!

Yes, that's right. She vetoed the bill! It looks like the birther crazies are too crazy for Jan Brewer of all freaking people.

In a statement on why she vetoed the bill, Governor Brewer said, and I quote:

"I do not support designating one person as the gatekeeper to the ballot for a candidate, which could lead to arbitrary or politically motivated decisions."

Really Governor? Brewer went on to say, and I quote:

"In addition, I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for president of the greatest and most powerful nation on Earth to submit their 'early baptismal circumcision certificates' among other records to the Arizona secretary of state. This is a bridge too far."

Ouch.
