The real problem here are commodoties and futures speculators with more money than sense.

]]> Comment on Rolling Stone: Jesus Made Me Puke (and John Hagee) by fundamentallymisguided1 http://dunningrb.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/rolling-stone-jesus-made-me-puke-and-john-hagee/#comment-344 fundamentallymisguided1 Wed, 14 May 2008 20:22:21 +0000 http://dunningrb.wordpress.com/?p=178#comment-344 I read Matt Taibbi's article, and I agree wholeheartedly that the religious right has gone terribly wrong (check out my own experiences in my book "Fundamentally Misguided"). One of the chief brainwashing tactics of some of these "charismatic" groups is try to obliterate all sense of logic by declaring eveything which is not of God to be "of the devil." After all my experiences with the charismatic movement, I agree with Taibbi that this brainwashing technique works. And yes, I am also all-too-well acquainted with the so-called "prophecy charts" depicted in one of the above video segments. Just one of the ways they try to scare you into accepting "the Gospel," and you know what? It is these type of scare tactics that lead people to join apocalyptic cults.

This election will come down to the lesser of 2 evils. Who will raise spending less? Who will grow the Federeal Gov't less? Who is less likely to allow Iran and North Korea to aqcuire nukes? Who will raise taxes less? All the candidates are virtually indistinguishable on the issue of illegal immigration. What we have is a race containing 2 liberal deocrats and 1 moderate democrat. Don't blame me. I'm writing in Pat Buchanon. If I’m not mistaken didn’t John McCain vote AGAINST the President’s tax cuts? This election will come down to the lesser of 2 evils.

]]> Comment on Why Do You Not Like Hillary Clinton for President? Seriously. by Tony http://dunningrb.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/why-do-you-not-like-hillary-clinton-for-president-seriously/#comment-327 Tony Wed, 07 May 2008 13:17:12 +0000 http://dunningrb.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/why-do-you-not-like-hillary-clinton-for-president-seriously/#comment-327 I can't understand why people hate her so much. So far I have done some research and she has not done anything to deserve to be hated like that. The media and politician do not really know why. I think she is a very smart person and she can make a difference. Obama is another person that is very smart and can make a difference too. Hate is the evil of all things and there are so many people in that club that is sad. Let's get along and peace to everybody. I can’t understand why people hate her so much.
