		<description>Memo to all conservative, religious, nut jobs:

The Constitution of the United States calls for the separation of church and state.  This is an indisputable fact.  Read the First Amendment people.  The following phrase from the First Amendment is very clear:  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.  There is a very good reason why our country&#039;s founders included this in the Constitution.  History is full of countless examples of horrible acts committed against people by a church with too much power in the government.

I am fed up with conservatives claiming to be more &quot;American&quot; or more patriotic than liberals.  I am also tired of hearing conservatives complain that liberals are trying to force their values on them.  The opposite is actually the truth.  Conservatives are always talking about how they want to restrict the freedoms of other people based on their religious beliefs and moral values.  Liberals are not trying to force anything on anyone.  Wanting to enjoy the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution is our right as American citizens.</description>

		<description>WOW! The only thing missing here are the torches to burn the big bad witch! Folks, this is not Salem, the witch trials ended over 300 years ago. But I see some are not going to be happy until Sarah palin is hanging from a tree or pressed by a slab of stone. We are headed for hell in a handbasket, and we are running out of handbaskets!</description>

		<description>Think of the thousand &quot;Obamessiah&quot; videos up on youtube... at least Palin believes in the real God. People voted for Obama thinking he WAS some sort of god or substitute for Jesus. At first it was creepy, now it&#039;s just downright ridiculous and pathetic to look back on. It&#039;s embarassing. These people who claim to be &quot;above religion&quot; were ready to worship and go delusionally crazy for Obama. Well ask them, did they get the &quot;HOPE&quot; and &quot;CHANGE&quot; they were looking for?! 

Is there world peace now?! Have your lives all been transformed? Do you still sing &quot;Yes We Can&quot; to sleep? 

*sigh*

		<description>Briefly, 

I believe in Jesus Christ and he is our Lord and Savior.  He gives us free will and I believe in abortion but in instances of coherent parental decisions, cases based on incess, rape and if the mother has health issues detrimental to her health/life.  Other than that it should be a &quot;right&quot; but not a loose cannon to be liberal about.  In Palin&#039;s case, her age and risk resulted in child with &quot;dow&quot; syndrome and she was aware of the risks and personally she opted to have the child verses her beliefs to have him.  Others may not be positioned socieconomically to do so.  

In revelations, it speaks of &quot;End Times&quot; and signs are prevelant but while we are still here believers in Christ must continue to do his &quot;Will&quot; or &quot;Good Works&quot; and that alone still will not gurantee you a ticket to heaven as what is in you heart will culminate your destination once you  either die or when Christ returns.  We need not be hyprocrits but realistic and not self absorbing.  That&#039;s the problem with many in government, Congress, Politicians as in the times when Christ was here among men.  He worked with &quot;oppressed&quot; and knew the &quot;Law&quot;.  We tend to forget in this day and age nothing has change as the bible gives multiple examples thru stories written therein.   

Obama is the lesser of two evils here and using the term &quot;evil&quot; is figuratively express as politically motivated.    He is a good candidate and has always stuck to the issues. His opponents are trying to use Obama&#039;s camp &quot;Change&quot; as their own theme when in fact they want to resume the Republican &quot;Same Old Business&quot; with a new pretty face in the mix which is a mistake because Palin is obviously a puppet used to envelop white men/women to vote agains Obama and Bidnen.  It&#039;s a trip!</description>

		<description>THIS WAS A VERY INFORMATIVE ARTICLE..IT GIVES ME A VERY UNTRUSTING FEELING ABOUT HER. IF SHE WAS TO HAVE ANY HIGHER POWER THAN THE GOVERNOR, WOULD SHE BE A DANGER TO AMERICA? I FEEL HER TYPE OF CHRISTIANITY IS TOO TWISTED FOR THE JOB OF COMMANDER AND CHIEF AND SHE WOULD BE A THREAT TO THE STABILITY OF THE WORLD (SHE TALKS TOO MUCH LIKE A PROGRAMMED DUMMY).  KEEP HER WHINNY VOICE UP IN ALASKA...SHE IS NOT FIT TO MAKE ANY MAJOR DECISIONS, SHE IS NOT A HONEST PERSON I CAN HEAR IT IN HER VOICE.. FROM A REAL CHRISTIAN WITH A HEART</description>

		<description>I find the right wing perversion of Christianity terrifying. They are no different than the Taliban or the extremists we are fighting. See, the key is that we shouldn&#039;t just be opposing the Muslim extremists who pervert their faith, but also these people. Being Christian, I have grown tired of see my faith manipulated and corrupted to become the opposite of what Jesus taught. 

 When the bible spoke of the anti-Christ, it wasn&#039;t speaking of a Satanic version of Jesus, but people and organizations who claimed to be Christian but didn&#039;t actually follow Christian teachings. I have come to realize that right wing, fundamentalist Christianity is the antithesis of everything that Jesus taught. This version of Christianity is the Anti-Christ.</description>

		<description>I saw a trailer on CNN that the Palin&#039;s tax returns for 2006 and 2007 showed they earned $170,000. and paid $25,000 in taxes.  Why were their taxes only 14.7% percent when my husband and I were taxed at the rate of 33% and our income did not exceed $65,000?  

Also, it was mentioned on a television talk show that Sarah Palin cannot identify with the average person &quot;Joe 6-Pack&quot; or &quot;Hockey Mom&quot; because her family lives in a Million Dollar home.  How does anyone with a $170,000 income qualify for a $1,000,000 house??  Also, not everyone who is voting drinks beer or even has a child at home.  Who cares about that?  

The pundits are using the correct terminology when they describe Sarah Palin at the &quot;debate&quot; - it was merely a &quot;performance&quot;.  It was very disrespectful for her not to answer the questions she was asked.  She allowed her personal prejudices to be in the forefront.  If you are a leader of people, shouldn&#039;t the needs and desires of ALL the people be met?  If she gets to be VP will that mean she will acknowledge only Republicans and rebuke Democrats?  

She an McCain are treating this who issue like a game. A very expensive game.  Why in the world do these people spend millions of dollars to buy a job that pays $400,000 a year. It seems that Sarah Palin will say anything and do anything to get the VP job. 

The FDIC insured amount up to $100,000 is as outdated as the $255.00 death benefit given by the Social Security Administration.</description>
