Liberals Prefer Comfortable Lies Over Truth

Personal responsibility.

Humans in general lack that, and would like to attribute good and bad to an outside force. Usually attribute bad outside than good.

For example: If you *** up, it's the other guys fault. If I do well, it's because I'm awesome like that, except when I *** up, then it's Bush's fault.

You don't know what I'm doing as your clearly delusional at this point if you think that's what I'm doing.

I answered your question. You refuse to even acknowledge that much lol...

What's so hard to understand about the concept? What's so hard to understand about why some people believe that? Simple human nature we're talking about here...

What truth have you pointed out? That you follow the almighty hitchens? That you need a crutch like others do? That you'll use anything you can to smear someone else while ignoring the quite obvious truths around you?

You haven't really even said anything in many of your posts other than to tell me I've been dumb or to point out "What I'm really doing" and how you're "above that" or to tell me that "I have ingored the original intention of your post"

Have fun with all the hate you have for the religious... I'm sure it will serve you well :)

I am a christian, a conservative one at that, and i do believe that a stong moral compass in our leaders is essential for the success or our country. I can only speak for myself, but I am a lot less of a scumbag since i have become a christian. (still have a lot of scumbaggery that i'm working through.) XD That being said...the idea that someone would pass a law basically saying that you CANT be a good or moral person, or even an effective leader, unless you believe in God... is INSANE. Some of my most kind and moral friends are athiests/agnostic. Most of them would make great public servants.

Can't someone else do it?

See, this is what I think but I really want to hear a personal story of someone who has had to make that call. Why am I so adamant on this?

Everybody thinks they're right. Self esteem run amok.

Like usual not much to say except for to attack little things and move on like you're somehow right about everything...

And you felt like you could criticize my comprehension of the intracacies of the english language? lol...

I addressed your initial point with my original response... and then again 2 more times... which you chose to ignore every time and then attack something irrelevant instead lol...

Glad you think so highly of yourself though...

inb4: "Well, Kingnobody is an idiot" or something like that.

Haha they run out of things to argue with and end up resorting to personal attacks. Notice there was zero attention given to holding individual people accountable for the whole "forced to lie about religion". No it "MUST" be a "social problem" that needs "attention" typically in the form of legislation and/or money.

Since I've been the driving force behind that particular argument here (that is, the societal trend of focusing on Christianity), I can only assume you're speaking of me.

But this is one of the few threads (there have been a few, believe it or not!) which KN and I are in agreement. So why would I resort to calling him an idiot?

Also, I don't think this needs any legislation or money. Only lack thereof to support religion. Which should actually appeal to libertarians nationwide, if they practice what they preach. Though Tea Party libertarians would be ***out of luck, because they're not actually what they say they are.

God really is female. It has to be. The only thing that makes sense.

So Hillary Clinton is God ?

...-skygod religions though.

Was always a Suzaku fan myself. Shadowbind chainspell!

What, no grand secession fantasies? Civil War II?

Also, I hope you're ready to give up all the major cities in this game of Red v. Blue.

Whitewater was later seen as symptomatic of the culture that existed in Arkansas during Bill's governorship, when the Clintons' connections helped them to enrich themselves.

For example, to augment her $110,000 salary, Hillary had earned large sums from seats on local corporate boards, including Wal-Mart.

One company chairman explained Hillary's presence on his board as "making sure he was in good grace with the people in power."

In that atmosphere, Bill and Hillary developed a sense of entitlement, borrowing from banks operated by political friends and accepting favours from individuals and corporations, such as the free use of private planes.

Was some of this weighing on Vince Foster's mind when he became both White House deputy counsel and attorney for both Bill and Hillary? What is certain is that he was unsettled by the First Lady's increasingly uncompromising demands.

In March 1993, he told a colleague that she had "snapped at him" - a rebuke that "hurt him deeply."

It was clear that Foster was having difficulty being ordered around by the woman who had recently been his equal.

One of his first jobs in the White House was to try to make sense of the Clintons' false tax returns concerning the Whitewater land investment. A note in his hand-writing, found much later, warned that Whitewater was "a can of worms you shouldn't open."

Another "can of worms" that landed on his desk concerned the collapse of a bank called Madison Guaranty. To his consternation, allegations were being made that funds from the bank had been illegally diverted to Bill Clinton's campaign for governor in the mid-Eighties - and that Bill and Hillary had intervened with state regulators to help keep the bank solvent.

Foster was also fretting over the "excessive" sums Hillary was lavishing on redecoration of the White House.

In the end, though, it was the firing of seven staff - following pressure from the imperious First Lady - that "drove Vince batty," according to White House counsel Bernie Nussbaum.

Hillary had become convinced that the staff in the travel office that served the White House press corps were guilty of "financial mismanagement and waste." Foster was asked to help get rid of them.

In a meeting with him on May 13, 1993, Hillary asked him if he was "on top of" the travel office situation. He assured her that his team was working on it.

Afterwards, Foster noted that Hillary's mood was "general impatience ... general frustration."

Other White House aides later confirmed that she wanted her own "people" in the office, and that everyone felt "there would be hell to pay" if her wishes were defied.

On May 19, the travel office's seven employees were fired - and there was immediate uproar. Allegations of cronyism hit the headlines when it emerged that a distant cousin of Bill was to be put in charge of the office, while a friend of a friend was being promoted to take over some of the White House's air-charter business.

Worse still, none of the charges against the original travel office employees stood up, and their precipitous dismissals became a damaging test of Hillary's honesty.

At the time, Vince Foster felt deeply responsible for the imbroglio and was worried that Congress might investigate. White House aide David Watkins remembers Foster saying to him "My God, what have we done?" and expressing concern that Hillary's role in the firings would come to light.

He urged Watkins to protect "the client" at all costs.

Foster knew that in shielding Hillary, he might have to mislead congressional investigators under oath - a grim prospect for a man who took pride in being a straight arrow.

By mid-July, he had lost more than a stone in weight and seemed unusually subdued. He twice told his wife that he felt under pressure and was thinking of returning to Arkansas.

Talking to a colleague about his dealings with Hillary, he said: "It's not the same." On one matter after another, he confided, she would bark "Fix it, Vince!" or "Handle it, Vince!" and leave him to pick up the pieces.

On July 16, Foster and his wife drove to an inn in Maryland for the weekend. At dinner that night, Foster cried when Lisa asked him "if he felt trapped." Three days later, he called his doctor, who gave him a prescription for the antidepressant Desyrel.

The following night, July 20, he was found dead.

How dare you speak ill of my beloved Huff Post.
