There seems to be many of those that go around comparing the POTUS (whoever it is/was) to historical villans.  No doubt this kind of thing will continue as long as free speech and our existing political system is in place. I'm also sure that carnivore's replacement or some other mechanism (possibly, but doubtfully echelon) has already identified the source of the anonymous poster on Pat Dollard's blog.

The point in Gore's post was that someone created this article or whatever it is and signed it with the name of a Dr. Kaiser, useing the good doctors credentials to give it credibility. Not only did Dr. Kaiser say he never wrote it, but last Nov. when this article first showed up, it was attributed to a Mr.Woods, who also disclaims it as his work.
Hmmm. Clearly a fake,but some would agree with it if it was real.
 
Thats a yuk right there   The Public School System is to blame without a doubt.

I get emails like that all the time from my Dad. I don't put too much stock in them. I mean - being a Libertarian and all - I can agree with some of what's being said - but why attribute it to someone when you KNOW there's stuff like snopes out there. Why not just write that this is your own opinion and send it to friend and send it on?

Maybe there's a secret cadre of email originators . . . all part of the Illuminati I'd imagine. (I hear a lot about them from some of my more colorful  friends on FB.)

I think if there was a forum poll taken it would be unanamous that politics and the political industry are the most corrupt and corrupting institution in our daily lives.
Nor would any one here post something about another forum member they knew was untrue, for any reason, or pass on questionable info without checking for authenticity.
Yet where politics is concerned  there are no such qualms. Morality becomes flexible for the sake of personal political goals. (9th-10th commandments). More importantly to sacrifice personal integrity and honesty for such corrupt goals is sensless.
Makes you wonder what that does to the kids.

It teaches them.

The people in authority make up they own morality and justify it. It teaches our kids that they do the same. It's okay because those we have elected are supposedly people of integrity. If they lead by example, then the kids will learn from that example. The paradox is that we are supposed to teach them differently, right?

You said it NP

[TiFeMb]

You're absolutely right NP. When we teach our children what's right and wrong, we generally use examples of people who are wrong and who are right, and to look at the fruit that they have produced in their lives.
 
We have had to go almost to a biblical explanation with them that 'When the Lord comes', you better be on the right side of ther argument.
 
A LOT of the kids in their school are amoral. 'Why can't I do what Johnny does?' at the Kindergarten and First grade level. It's hard to tell a 5 year old that Johnny is going to end up dead or in jail because of his dumb ass behavior, usually because io his parents lack of, well, parenting...
 
And these are the GOOD kids.
 
We are seriously thinking about homeschooling, and I am slowly teaching them that at some point, they are going to be held accountable. Whether it be armaggedon, the tribulation or the'age of enlightenment' (personally like the last one), all your deeds will come to bear.
 
Not Beaver Cleaver by a long shot.
 
...and I don't think Obama is Hitler 
 
As much as I disliked Bush, he wasn't either

That's quite a list there.

[lifefeedsonlife]

I always like to look at the comments section on these lists. Seems a lot of folks are focused on the birth certificate thing. That ain't gonna happen - and if it were an issue, the Presdient would be doing all he could to cover it up, instead he jokes about it at prayer breakfasts. they need to move on.

My issue with all this lay in the fact the R's and D's have written the election rules in such a way that the R's and D's get a 'pass' getting on ballots from a local to a national level. they have mutually created a playing field that favors them.

Personally - I find that type of duplicity (and the accomapnying ignorance /apathy on the part of the electorate) the biggest scandal of all.

I find the "Birther" thing interesting because if he treats it like a joke and spends the Million plus dollars to bury the "joke"... than I understand his willingness to bury our future citizens in debt in the name of.... "WHAT"? ? SO...he does more than joke about it....
 
How did we get where we are? We have too many people with hands out and no sense of Consequence ...including from the lowly Welfare Recipient to the richest of the rich looking for a new tax dodge. It is the way of our society and as long as people were able to live and get by, no one bitched. Now we smell the burning flesh and BOOM!!!!! It now becomes relevant and damaging.

1 Republican! I think I'm having an attack of the vapors. Honesty and integrity at last. Hitler didn't even make this list.
