Fox News Warns Viewers Of Upcoming Socialist Revolution»

Today on Fox News, Neil Cavuto had a segment asking whether Democrats will “crush the economy” if they win November’s elections. One of the guests, Jonathan Hoenig, said they would, because Democrats’ “overriding philosophy is socialism.”

  1. ForTruth Says:

    How about when the Fox news studios are stormed and hijacked right on live TV?


  2. Heterodoxy Says:

    Will Fox actually cover news instead of asking retarded questions?


  3. ForTruth Says:

    “Will Fox News make it to the next decade?”


  4. TheToonGuy Says:

    Yep, just like they did during the 8 years Clinton was in charge.


  5. s Says:

    Wow, these - - - -ers mean business. They are truely Nazis. Time to oust them. It’s either that or live in a world where no one cares about anyone, it’s dog eat dog, and there is no more beauty or truth. Take your pick


  6. RUCerious Says:

    Will Republicans lie their asses off to try to keep power?
    Our next guest will analyze the lying liars and the lies they are lying about.


  7. JJ Says:

    Right. If there’s anything Dems want, it’s state ownership of everything. Sure.

    Come on Fox, get a clue!


  8. RUCerious Says:

    Some people might say Fox news is the station preferred by pedophiles and racist fear mongering frat boys.


  9. TheTruthHurts Says:

    The French appeasers will raise taxes.


  10. dlet Says:

    What can the Dems crush? The largest deficeit ever? The largest trade gap with China ever? the destruction of the middle class? Oh…..they mean we’ll repeal the tax give aways to the rich. Now the question makes sense. Yes I hope the Dems will crush those tax breaks.


  11. Albert Says:

    Trust Fox to divorce from reality and then try to commit a double suicide, taking reality with it.

    Who has mortgaged America, putting us all into dept? The Republicans.

    Who has kept the stock market at 1.5% growth? The Republicans.

    The Republicans have thrown out fiscal responsibility for kleptomania, America. It is time to throw them out.

    How did the economy do when the democrats were in power? Better than ever.


  12. Your Conscience Says:

    Will TP continue to censor my next post?

    What gives?
    It was on topic, no links, and asked a valid question.

    Why the censorship TP?


  13. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    That’s a red under my bed? Whoah I thought it was a dust bunny. Say, if you stare at it long enough though, it does look like the face of Che Guevara….


  14. Robert Says:

    The DOW:
    Clinton: begin 3200 -> 10900 end
    Bush: begin 10900 -> 12100 now

    Clinton - up 226 % - Bush up 14 % (and not adjusted for inflation)

    Yep - those Republicans are good running the economy!


  15. unitynow Says:

    Faux News should be retitled ‘GOP NEWS’ because they are the official front for the GOP propaganda machine. It’s great that most lucid, intelligent, educated americans won’t give their show the time of day. It’s a comedy show, isn’t it?


  16. RealScientist Says:

    Jonathan Hoenig is a complete idiot. He is the guy who keeps saying (on Fox, naturally) that the stock market will go up if we attack Iran.


  17. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Jonathan Hoenig is a capitalist pig. That’s not an insult, that’s what he calls his consulting firm (Capitalistpig, LLC). What I don’t like about him, and why I think it’s bad for him to be on TV, is that he believes that making money is the ONLY important thing. It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to accomplish (be it save lives, clean the air and water, or make the world a safer place for the next generations), he believes that if you can’t make money doing it, it’s not worth doing. I don’t enjoy wishing harm on people, so I’ll just wish for him to suffer huge, crippling financial losses, and in such a way that he has no chance to make it all back. To me, that would be fitting.

    the stock market does better under democrats than under republicans

  21. EconAtheist Says:

    Who’s the chimpanzee “ooking” on the screencap?


  22. ForTruth Says:

    Attention, all Fox viewers, hunker down in your bomb shelters, and don’t come out until we tell you to.


  23. nffcnnr Says:

    That monkeyboy always shows up on Fox spewing nonsense like that. He reminds me of that SNL character, Mr. Peepers. Hah!


  24. dlet Says:

    EconAtheist,
    Too funny. Totally reminded me of that Saturday Night Live guy who did the chimpman skit all the time. “Ooking”. Love it.


  25. Daryll Says:

    Thank the lord I’m not the only one that can view the turmoil if liberals take over. This is one of my issues I discussed in a previous post. Libs take over=Economy down the drain.


  26. Jason+M.+Hendler Says:

    Finally, the conservative media has struck the “progs” Achilles heel. EVERY post I submit that mentions this theme has been deleted here on Think Progress - now others understand.


  27. Five+of+Diamonds Says:

    McCarthyism is alive and kicking.


  28. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    Those Democrats….created a business climate that resulted in unprecedented economic growth and a $1 trillion national surplus…damn commies.


  29. unitynow Says:

    What economy is Faux News referring to? The fake, illegal immigrant economy that they’ve facilitated and enabled (at the risk of not securing our safety through our borders) or the “real economy”; that is, what it would be if the illegals were put out of work?? NYC alone would shut down for the day if they did that!


  30. Solitaire Says:

    Jason, I only wish they could delete you. You have been messing with this blog for as long as I’ve been around, and if Raw Story has HAD ENOUGH, well, it’s about time.


  31. ForTruth Says:

    Daryll, all you are is an amplifier. Do you have any of your own thoughts about the economy?


  32. Solitaire Says:

    Oops. Think Progress probably is pretty surprised that the name of the blog has changed. :)


  33. RUCerious Says:

    Yes, Daryll, you too can offer worship and animal sacrifices to Mr Hoenig. Praise and worship to his Hoenigship!


  34. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    There is no rational, logical basis for the idiotic claim that a Democratic win in November means doom and gloom for everyone, including investors. This is just pure bullshit, and there is no eveidence whatsoever that it is true.

    Now, maybe those who are so stinking rich living off unearned income (such as dividends and trust funds) that they don’t have to work for a living might see their income drop a bit due to higher taxes, but since they will be able to survive just fine on what they have left over, and since they will make even more when the economy does better for everyone, I will shed no tears for them.


  35. JaneESchneider Says:

    Is it me, or does that guy look like the ‘bat boy’ that you see on the covers of tabloids like Weekly World News, etc.?


  36. Mitchell+Szczepanczyk Says:

    Consider the source: Jonathan Hoenig is this big-shot Chicago investor type (weirdo) who runs the (get this) Capitalistpig Hedge Fund. Read more, if you want:

  37. GSD Says:

    Of course, because the economy has never been good under Democratic congress.

    See in the 80’s, there was really a Republican Congress and Senate…no, wait, err, ahh…..well……

    Asshats.

    -GSD


  38. unitynow Says:

    Really….I concur totally that “those democrats managed to present this administration with a three trillion dollar surplus, didn’t they?” How dare they be so fiscally responsible when the GOP has been fiscally irresponsible in taking that deficit and now amassing a 9 trillion+ deficit? How dare they??

    What they really mean is that the tax breaks to the most wealthy may be tampered with….


  39. Yikes Says:

    “Thank the lord I’m not the only one that can view the turmoil if liberals take over. This is one of my issues I discussed in a previous post. Libs take over=Economy down the drain.”

    That’s right Daryll, don’t look at the realities of the past 12 years. By the way, God called, there is recall on born again brains. Turns out that some dip switches were flipped when Fox got a news station.


  40. AnAmerican Says:

    Come on Darryl, obviously you know how to crush an economy based on a weak dollar, massive debt and record trade deficits.

    Just tell me how it’s done.


  41. RUCerious Says:

    Yikes - Are you sure those weren’t dip shit switches?
    Those switch your brains from regular to shit mode.


  42. RealScientist Says:

    Thank the lord I’m not the only one that can view the turmoil if liberals take over.

    Comment by Daryll — October 23, 2006 @ 4:52 pm

    Well, Daryll, everyone here knows you are a complete idiot. Like that remark about how Bush is an honest man. Pure psychosis.


  43. Martin Says:

    Thats funny… and here I was thinking the dems overriding philosophy was pandering to the center-right


  44. Daryll Says:

    You stinking libs anger me, all you want to do is over-tax the rich. You guys are nuts, the rich spend more, which will keep our economy stable. I don’t trust your party anyway. Remember Clinton and NAFTA? He outsourced jobs, and you libs never said one Gogolee Moglee thing.


  45. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    The latest poll shows that nearly 80% of Americans believe we are not winning any war in Iraq. Looks like the will of the majority will trump the lies of the minority.


  46. Yikes Says:

    RUCerious, you could call them dip shit switches as they reverse the flow in the body resulting in shit getting stuck in your head. There is no easy way to flick the switch back unfortunately. Once the shit hits the brain it renders the person useless to society. Deprogramming requires facts and facts just run right through shit. Tough situation for Daryll et al.


  47. ForTruth Says:

    and you libs never said one Gogolee Moglee thing.

    Comment by Daryll

    Such language, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?


  48. AnAmerican Says:

    Clinton and NAFTA? Darryll, Dude, someone lied to you.

    Clinton inherited NAFTA, so, tell me who’s been lying to you?

    Someone made you uninformed, do us a favor, and tell us who it was.


  49. RealScientist Says:

    Daryll, the rich have been making out like bandits while everyone else’s standard of living has been sinking. They are hardly overtaxed. Virtually all economic growth of the past 25 years in the U.S. has gone to the top 5%. They are using you. Get a clue.


  50. RUCerious Says:

    Please Daryll, don’t get angry! Your Jeebus might strike us down with lightning and brimstone if you do!
    Let’s make sure that all your rich friends take their camel shrinking lessons, cause remember, it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for, um.. what was it now???


  51. Bluedog49 Says:

    Brother Daryll: “Libs take over=Economy down the drain.”

    Quick question for our bible-thumpin joker: which party controlled the executive branch during the longest peacetime expansion of our economy in history?


  52. Briseadh na Faire Says:

    45 - calm down, “Christian” and remember to turn the other cheek.

    NAFTA was the worst thing Clinton did for the American worker, as well as for immigrant labor. So why did it pass? Because Big Business favors de-regulation. (With NAFTA the borders were deregulated for business but not for the worker.) Yet history shows that unregulated Captialism ultimately fails.

    And Socialism is, simply put, regulated Capitalism, with government ownership and control over a select few industries; those which are social in nature, such as health care, for example.


  53. Vincennes Says:

    It’s a wonder that the United States survived for so long with the Dems in control of Congress and/or the White House. Apparently for Repugs, Year Zero started in 2000. What a bunch of freaking idiots.


  54. ForTruth Says:

    Daryll,

    It’s easier to pass a thermous through a eurethra, than to read your posts.


  55. John+the+Elder Says:

    This just goes to show how stupid the people are who watch Faux. I know some with advanced degrees who slop up this crap. Sad! nuf said.


  56. oxillini Says:

    Wait, I thought the economy wasn’t attributable to the party in power? No one would give Clinton/Gore credit in 2000. So carry on capitalism, you have nothing to fear.


  57. Pat Says:

    If investors really believed this — that Dems will crush the economy — and with the polls favoring Dems in the election, then why aren’t they selling their stocks? Instead, investors are BUYING and the stock market is at record highs. Apparently a Democratic controlled congress doesn’t worry investors and one could make the argument that they actually favor it!


  58. SpudgeBoy Says:

    Remember Clinton

    Of course, how could we go one post without one of these jackass trolls saying it’s Clinton’s fault.


  59. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    God wants Republicans to be rich. It’s right in the Bible: Chapter 11, verse 21, paragraph 2. “All ye Republicans who are rich will be welcomed into heaven by the almighty himself. No Democrats will be allowed under any circumstances. Vote Republican.”


  60. AnAmerican Says:

    2 rwingnuts lying about Clinton and NAFTA, wow, the republicans must have really screwed something up.


  61. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Daryll,

    Why shouldn’t we over-tax people who don’t work for a living because they live off the dividends from their investments or from family trusts? Because they might have to go out and find a friggin’ job??? Spare me the nonsense about how much they spend. If they spent all their money, they wouldn’t be millionaires! They’re millionaires because they DON’T spend their money. They keep it for their greedy little selves and their greedy little children. Well, there are starving fellow Americans who could use some of that money. I’m sure it’s what Jesus would suggest we do. Don’t you? (Or are you going to try to convince us that Jesus was a supply-sider?)


  62. marblex Says:

    why anyone pays attention to trolls like daryll i don’t know. he isn’t here for discussion, discourse or anything other than to poll parrot the party line, hurl invectives and insults at “lubruls” and argue argue argue. While there understandably isn’t anything else going on in his trailer park, Im sure you folks all do have better things to do than play whackatroll.

    He’s probably a paid detractor, with income supplemented by food stamps and free lunches provided courtesy of liberal aka humanitarian people like us.


  63. oxillini Says:

    AnAmerican, maybe there was a typo on the talking points memo?


  64. clb72 Says:

    Anna Thomas, the opera satirist who recently passed away, once said that to be a successful opera singer, you’re better off having resonance where your brains should be.

    To get booked on Fox, you’re better off having steaming horseshit where your brains should be.


  65. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) Says:

    you libs never said one Gogolee Moglee thing.

    Comment by Daryll

    Forgiveness, my Christian brother, as speaking in tongues is not one of the gifts which Our Father has bestowed upon me, just as wisdom is not one he has granted to you.


  66. Daryll Says:

    Bluedog49, that was all because of the emergence of the internet. Dems had nothing to do with the Information Technology portion.


  67. clb72 Says:

    Ooh sorry, it’s Anna Russell. Sorry Anna.


  68. Daryll Says:

    AnAmerican, you’re in denial.


  69. Briseadh+na+Faire Says:

    48 - NAFTA was implemented after Clinton became President. He could have derailed the treaty, but he didn’t.


  70. oxillini Says:

    Comment by Daryll — October 23, 2006 @ 5:38 pm

    So, which portion of the index are the Republicans responsible for? Energy? Transportation?


  71. Killer Whale Says:

    From: “Democratic House No Pox on Stocks
    By Liz Rappaport

    “At present, a Democratic win in the House of Representatives is largely priced into the stock market, which has rallied to new highs through the campaign process thus far. Futures markets put the likelihood of a Democratic takeover, or at least 15 net wins in the House, at 63.1%, according to InTrade.”

    So, Darryl - many of your Conservative GOP brothers and sisters who actually pull the trigger to buy stocks for the big mutual funds realize that the Dems will probably control the House of Representaitves and don’t seem to be nearly as concerned about it as you are …

    Why is that Darryl?

    Because if they were to embrace and act upon the delusional notions that you embrace everyday - they would get f#cking fired.


  72. AnAmerican Says:

    #64 Yah, I guess it doesn’t matter how they’ve become misinformed, just that they are misinformed.


  73. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Or are you going to try to convince us that Jesus was a supply-sider?
    Comment by Wayne A. Schneider — October 23, 2006 @ 5:36 pm

    In the new, post 9/11, neo-con annotated version of the Bible, Jesus is also in favor of oil wars, invasion of nations that pose no threat, torture of prisoners, wanton prostitution of religion for political gains, and exempting the responsible from any accountability.

    Really, Wayne, try to keep up.

    /sarcasm off


  74. AnAmerican Says:

    #69 Denial?

    I don’t think you not coming up with a strategy for wrecking an economy based on massive debt, record deficits and a weak dollar has anything to do with me being in denial, it only has to do with you being FOS.


  75. AnAmerican Says:

    #71, you really need a NAFTA timeline.

    Go find one. Or, I’ll find one for you.


  76. Daryll Says:

    marblex, I don’t have to prove myself to you or anybody else. I’m a systems engineer working for an IT consulting firm, and I have high credentials as well as merit. I believe you republicans want to convert our country into a communist state. You create/complete business deals using your gut feeling instead of using logic and intuition. That’s what agitates me. Leave the rich alone. They do spend a rather substantial amount each year, but they also make smart investments to maintain their self worth.


  77. Mygod! Says:

    Don’t know whats worse, the people who blindly follow or bash fox news. Do any of you honestly think the Democrats will solve any of this “corporatism” you talk about? Both parties are corrupt.


  78. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    When did Clinton’s unprecendented economic growth coupled with a trillion dollar surplus come to mean wrecking an economy? More republican spin, I see.


  79. El+Tonno Says:

    Oh noes! We are moving towards La Commune de Washington. This is going to be bloody when the Marines have to move in to crush the Red Rebellion!

    Anyway Congress will have its hands full to keep the economy up and running satisfactorily. Basically, it’s go to tax more and spend less. And if it’s Democrats, you can imagine the scene.

    A lot of bad things can happen soon:

    Danger of China appreciating the yuan (Inflation!)
    Danger of China NOT appreciating the yuan (Jobs moving away!)
    Housing market slows down seriously (Economic slowdown)
    Oil prices go up (Inflation)
    Other countries stop financing the US current-account deficit (Inflation!)
    Other countries do NOT stop financing the US current-account deficit (Corporations are being taken over by them furreigners! Where do you think those exported Dollars will go…)


  80. SpudgeBoy Says:

    Bluedog49, that was all because of the emergence of the internet. Dems had nothing to do with the Information Technology portion.

    Comment by Daryll — October 23, 2006 @ 5:38 pm

    Daryll,

    Shows that he clearly does not work in the technology industry. Every engineer I have met is anti-Bush. All of them. You know why? Because they are logical people. Most of them are not religious. They don’t base stuff on faith. The are based in reality and only believe what they can touch, see, feel, smell.

    The liberals are responsible for technology. If it wasn’t for liberals, the conservatives would have you study your Bible by candle light like the Amish.


  81. And+You+Thought+REAGAN+Was+Stupid Says:

    Darryl: I don’t trust Republicans either. They protect corporations that set up overseas tax shelters and pay little or no money back to the United States, the country in which the corporation was founded and where its operational headquarters resides. There are many, many other reasons not to trust the Republicans — most have been demonstrated in the past five years, including corruption, bribery, pedophilia, incompetence, big government, and record deficits.


  82. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    #74 Gregor,

    You’re right. I forgot to update my bible. I only have this one that I stole from some place (I forget where, but I think a hotel was involved, and the statute of limitations has run out, so that doesn’t matter any more.)

    I suppose I can pick up a new one at the White House Gift Shop. :)


  83. And+You+Thought+REAGAN+Was+Stupid Says:

    The simple fact is, when you look at the economy (as one of many examples), the Clinton administration was far more successful than the Bush administration. Democrats know how to get things done.


  84. Bluedog49 Says:

    Mygod: “Do any of you honestly think the Democrats will solve any of this “corporatism” you talk about? Both parties are corrupt.”

    I hear you, but right now the most important thing is oversight and accountability. Besides, Dems are marginally more likely to regulate big corporations and marginally more likely to take legislative steps which diminish the influence of corporations. Pelosi’s “first 100 hours”, for example, includes legislation to break the ties between legislators and corporate lobbyists with respect to writing laws.


  85. Daryll Says:

    SpudgeBoy, well I’m the first of the few that do exist. It is my job to test and process government systems/programs.


  86. ggibson Says:

    #81

    Not to say that all tech people are anti-Republican which isnt true… most tech people like a strong capitalist society… but I have not met a single pro-Bush tech person ever myself and I am a software engineer… and that isnt just because of all the bad news lately… I have not met a single software engineer or tech person that was pro Bush even from 2000 … there must be some out there some where though…


  87. Killer+Whale Says:

    #67

    Darryl

    You should stick to what you know … which unfortunately isn’t very much.

    The groundwork for the boom in the economy post 1992 was the result of the work between Clinton and Greenspan and Rubin while Clinton was still President-elect.

    Unlike the current administration - Clinton, a Democrat, was willing to take sound advice from a member of another party - Greenspan, a Republican.

    Circa 1998 …

    This is the best economy I’ve ever seen in 50 years of studying it every day,” Greenspan told Clinton.”

    There had been a boom in productive capital. Money that businesses were spending was yielding an extraordinary return because of increased worker productivity. The computer and high technology investments were paying off. And those payoffs had to be real, because the higher profits and economic growth had continued for several years now.

    I guess Mr. Alan Greenspan - a Republican - is another one of those so-called “damn liberals” that anger you - eh?


  88. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    When you look at the history of the American economy it shows that Democrats have always been better than Republicans at running it…unless you believe that strong economies are a bad thing.


  89. Kelso Says:

    77 Daryll said:

    “I believe you republicans want to convert our country into a communist state. ”

    I don’t trust them either, but I think they are more interested in a theocratic fascist state.


  90. RUCerious Says:

    systems engineer working for an IT consulting firm, and I have high credentials as well as merit. I believe you republicans want to convert our country into a communist state.
    Daryll, please tell me which systems you are working on, so I am sure not to endanger my life or my family’s by using anything you are helping to produce!
    I disagree that republicans want to convert our country into a communist state, more like a fascist state…


  91. Daryll Says:

    ggibson, I understand, in college, my computer science professor tried to give our class a lecture about the progression of information technology, but he was careful about categorizing certain political parties that he felt attempted to hinder this progression. I still believe Rebublicans have helped our economy extensively. I agree with Republican morals/values. Science says it’s impossible for Jesus to exist (Evolution Theory), but in my spiritual relationship with god, I know he’s real. Unlike you liberals, I can separate science from religion.


  92. RUCerious Says:

    Daryll, what software do you use for black box testing?
    Do you use UML? How many and which software languages are you proficient in??


  93. Daryll Says:

    Kelso, I meant liberals, not republicans.


  94. Ian Bruce Says:

    Whoever (or whatever) writes the FOX “News” ticker is channeling fortune cookies from Mars.


  95. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Unlike you liberals, I can separate science from religion.

    Comment by Daryll

    Actually, Daryll, that is precisely what we do. It’s the ones who can’t separate religion from reality that frighten some of us.


  96. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Science says it’s impossible for Jesus to exist (Evolution Theory),
    Comment by Daryll — October 23, 2006 @ 6:18 pm

    Science says nothing about Jesus, don’t be dense.

    And the theory of evolution most certainly does not say Jesus could not have lived.

    Unlike you liberals, I can separate science from religion.

    Obviously you cannot -you don’t even know what science, or the theory of evolution is, let alone separate it from religion.


  97. Republicans are the fear and smear party Says:

    Yes, Jesus really was born of a virgin, really did put someone’s ear back on and really did come back from the dead. And Santa Claus really does have flying reindeer, really does visit everyone’s house on Christmas Eve (Christians only), and really does keep a list of whose naughty and nice.


  98. RUCerious Says:

    Second request…
    Daryll, what software do you use for black box testing?
    Do you use UML? How many and which software languages are you proficient in??


  99. Wilco Says:

    Science doesn’t say God can’t exist. Science simply can’t address the existence of a god as there is no OBSERVABLE PHENOMENA. Religion is faith. It can’t prove or disprove the existence of god.


  100. RUCerious Says:

    Three strikes and you’re out Daryll…
    Third request… what software do you use for black box testing?
    Do you use UML? How many and which software languages are you proficient in??


  101. RUCerious Says:

    B-True
    I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back with some lame thing about not testing aircraft components. He could always look up UML on the internets if he looks long enough at the right tube.


  102. Bluedog49 Says:

    Daryll: “Science says it’s impossible for Jesus to exist (Evolution Theory), but in my spiritual relationship with god, I know he’s real. Unlike you liberals, I can separate science from religion.”

    Where would one begin if trying to make sense out of that?


  103. Wayne Says:

    Daryll writes — :”I don’t have to prove myself to you or anybody else. I’m a systems engineer working for an IT consulting firm, and I have high credentials as well as merit.”

    Toot your own horn, what credentials?
    I happen to be working for a major computer manufacturer, have been a unix system administrator and certified in every current OS, as well as hardware. I can use VI in my sleep, which I learned to do in my sleep fixing unix servers at 2 am.
    Certs are a dime a dozen, its what you can do that matters in the IT world, I have fired people with certs that couldnt find their way on the prompt.

    ” I believe you republicans want to convert our country into a communist state. You create/complete business deals using your gut feeling instead of using logic and intuition. That’s what agitates me. ”

    No, Republicans want to turn this into a fascist state, which they are well on the way of accomplishing that goal

    The Democrats want to bring out democracy back to “We the People”

    You really are a piece of work Daryll. You obviously are an idiot when talking poilitics and history.

    Since you are an IT engineer here is a question, in your own words, how would you first open file on a unix server, then edit the file, then save it, using the VI editor?

    List all keystrokes and commands, you have 5 minutes.

    Lets see how good a systems engineer you really are.

  111. ggibson Says:

    ggibson, I understand, in college, my computer science professor tried to give our class a lecture about the progression of information technology, but he was careful about categorizing certain political parties that he felt attempted to hinder this progression. I still believe Rebublicans have helped our economy extensively. I agree with Republican morals/values. Science says it’s impossible for Jesus to exist (Evolution Theory), but in my spiritual relationship with god, I know he’s real. Unlike you liberals, I can separate science from religion.

    I grew extremely right wing .. I saw pat robertson on TV all the time here in Indiana. I never even considered while growing up that I would some day vote democrat. As I grew up and realized that the preachers were fakes that were raking in the cash and having sex with women they were not married to and had often through out history acted as the source of mass murder. I decided that Jesus was real and all these people were anti-christs… that means the modern christian religion is a farse. Republican “morals” is a farse.

    Science (evolution) explains how Jesus and all the rest of us came into being. It was the Roman Emporer Constatine and his subserviant “bishops” that dreamed up all the mythology around Jesus. Jesus needs no immortal soul to be the great that he is. Just as Ghandi does not and neither does Buddha. Your twisted view of Jesus is a farse.

    If you have personally read the parts of the bible about Jesus then you surely know that Jesus has no place in a decision that includes war. Jesus had all the opportunity he could have wanted to join in with the anti-Roman rebels and fight to the death. That simply was not his message. And for you to try to make it otherwise is no different than the people that used to burn women to the stake in the name of “Jesus”.

    Morality can be logically deduced just as easily as a computer program can. It does not take mysticism nor self-righteousness. The ONLY point you on the right have over the left is the very point that is also anti-Jesus… and that is WAR is sometimes neccessary. Jesus NEVER said he thought that was true… I simply would disagree with him on that point, but agree with him on all others. So you cannot have it both ways.. either you believe in Jesus 100% and so must renounce all money and become a bleeding heart tree hugger like Jesus…. OR you say the way of Jesus is the way we should TRY to live our lives and when outsiders attempt violence against us despite our Jesus ways THEN we defend ourselves with WAR… and not until then.

    That is why I can honestly agree with WWII and see that the Bush Iraq war is mass murder. It is a simple equation really. We were NOT attacked by Iraq. So killing them is MURDER.

    Simple enough isnt it?

    Good gracious! You don’t say! Ever seen how the bible was put together? A guy comes from the desert, awes everyone. People write stuff up, people make stuff up, people make allegories up. A lot chapters are thrown out or lost, others are added after the fact, some heretics are chased down for writing their own interpretations, the translation is foobared a few times, some dogma comes from the papal seat… enjoy.

    You forgot Emperor Constatine converting to Christianity in the process taking over the religion and bending it to his liking by holding the Council of Nicia. Don’t forget Christians placing their holidays on top of the pagan holidays to make convertion to Christianity easier. And who could forget the Crusades to kill thousands of Muslims in order to convert the rest. There is also the good old fashion inquisition where thousnads of Jews were killed to convert the rest.

    This seems like an appropriate time to share this link:

    http://www.care2.com/news/member/362617688/194989

    Simply put, faith is faith. The most logical and pragmatic among us are those who are Athiests. The rest of us, myself included, suspend some portion of logic for our spirituality. Since there is no objective method of proving spirituality, or faith, no one of us can ultimately claim possession of The Truth. Each of us lives within a belief system we are comfortable with.

    I also have a tremendous respect for Unbelievable, and for Mr. Schneider, as they do not attempt to foster their beliefs on anyone else, and are respectful of mine. Such is the way it should be. It is more than tolerance, it is acceptance of our differences and mutual respect for our fellow human beings, no matter which path they follow.

    My harshest criticism is for those who profess their faith, yet do not live it. For they profess a false faith. And, in most belief systems, “God is gonna get you for that.”

If you disagree with the other party just trash them, makes all sorts of false claims about them, forget that under President Clinton this Country had real economic growth and not just a stock market that favors the rich. So at Fox it’s by the rich, for the rich and all about the rich.

    For all others, if you play by the rules, get up and go to work everyday, if you aren’t rich, then to hell with you.

    Wrong. This is a serious distortion of Darwin’s explanation, and goes contrary to what we know about the human lineage.

    this defies Genesis Chapter 1.

    It only defies it if you read the Bible literally. Put it another way: Your interpretation of the Bible is incorrect, but you are too arrogant to even consider that possibility.

    The literal interpretation of the Bible has been abandoned by most Christian denominations, because it contradicts our every day experience, and our current knowledge of the world.

    Jesus created Adam and Eve, that’s how we emerged as humans in society today.

    Wrong. Jesus dit not create Adam nor Eve.

    You have some serious knowledge gaps. It doesn’t speak too well of Oral Roberts University.


  174. TerrytheTurtle Says:

    Thanks Gregor, I really didn’t have the interest to read what Darryl had to say on Darwin. I was simply blown away that a university named after a man who says he saw a 900ft tall Jesus could graduate anyone with a science degree.

    If Darryl says that Genesis 1 is literally true, then all the fundamental laws of the Universe go out the window. Bye bye, the speed of light as byuilding block. No speed of light, no Maxwell’s Theory. No Maxwell’s Theory, no computers or electricity and then the teaching of Computer Science is a branch of theoology, and Darryl should be offering a prayer the the Flying Spaghetti Monster every time he logs on or turn on a light….
