Jo > must be a Racisit, Rich/Wealthy, Stupid & dumb or all of the above.< And personally as a Dem, I don't really care for our mayor but I support him, the same with our councilman Mr. Huizar, don't care for him but I support him because he is a Dem, yup BIG PICTURE.
I don't understand Jews voting for Obama; he clearly is not supportive of Israel. 97% of America's union dues go to Democrats. 11% unemployed in CA. Wake up Democrats and try thinking outside the box; looks at the data. 16% of Americans are in poverty based on last years' data. Omar is like the other Democrats that called Romney a felon and a murderer...name calling is the best they have.
I have no problem with signs that are quiet and make no noise. But religion should not be forced down anyone's throat. That means no church music or church bells (real or tape recorded) in my home or forced down my throat. Hate also comes from religion when religion is forced and when the so called "religious" give no respect to their neighbors. No respect means there is no caring of the neighbors and there is only selfish childish behaviour from the church saying "look at me, look what I can do". Selfish and childish. Respect is earned. Give respect and you give it back. Religion needs to be respected and give respect back. But the religious do not give respect back either. Both sides are can be just as bad as the other.
MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they believe your Church is wrong, your Christian creeds are abomination to God, and you pastor or Priest is a hireling of Satan. MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that they intend to be gods themselves some day, and are helping to earn their exaltation to godhood by talking to you. MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that before 1978 they considered the Black race inferior, and even one drop of Negro blood prevented a person from entering their priesthood. MORMONS WON'T TELL YOU that on their Salt Lake City Temple they prominently display an upside-down star which is a Satanic symbol known as the Goat's head. Why? Don't be afraid to investigate, look it up >SEARCH IT< I'm ready for the debates, are you? btw it's not like he doesn't remind us everyday why not to vote for him, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTEh5tJY9Is Good Day!
Do we need to bring up the fact that the debt ceiling was raised 8 times during the Bush administration? It's a fact that after every recession this country has gone through we have had to re-invest in the country, come on it's simple biz-101, you cannot make money without spending some. Did we forget this guy is a Mormon? I don't know about that silly stuff he wears under his pants that's just strange, and this guys does not pray to GOD they pray to "Joseph Smith".
An to the idiots talking about life, yes I care about life, but I don't need some self righteous right wing wacko using religion to disguise their agenda, Do you think I would want government telling my Daughter or Wife they can't have an Abortion if they were raped? ARE you CRAZY? Let's just just go back in time, next you'll want anyone not white sitting in the back of busses and only using rear entrances. I am religious but I know how to divide my spirituality with government and state laws.
