    I agree. We see a Congress so busy playing CYA that they are ignoring the many problems we face as a nation. Perhaps they should take a refresher course on the document commonly called the Constitution and the oath of office they swore acceptance of when they took office. Then, like those aliens entering the US legally, they should be required to take a final exam on that document, proving they have read, studied and understand it. These bumbling blowhard bureaucratic blood-suckers have as their only goal that of fattening their personal bank accounts while sticking it to the average taxpaying citizen.

    So what? Do you want me to post a description of Adolph Hitler to describe the Bush administration? That would be a lot more accurate than this flimsey comparison.

    Reichstag fire and the March elections

    Having become Chancellor, Hitler foiled all attempts by his opponents to gain a majority in parliament. Because no single party could gain a majority, Hitler persuaded President Hindenburg to dissolve the Reichstag again. Elections were scheduled for early March, but on 27 February 1933, the Reichstag building was set on fire.[55] Since a Dutch independent communist was found in the building, the fire was blamed on a communist plot. The government reacted with the Reichstag Fire Decree of 28 February which suspended basic rights, including habeas corpus. Under the provisions of this decree, the German Communist Party (KPD) and other groups were suppressed, and Communist functionaries and deputies were arrested, put to flight, or murdered.

    Your Wikipedia cut & paste is an absolute disgrace.

    Unless you have a date of when Obama will re-instate our liberties, I assume you support Bush & Clinton's patriot act.

    I assume JC doesn't really have any evidence to back up his side of the debate because he never responded to any of the points raised to him in this post:

    http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=1382380&postcount=9

    They seem like easy enough points to respond to for those so sure of the Obama man's capabilities.

    Oh, and BTW, posts will be deleted that are attempts to derail threads onto Bush. Bush is yesterday's news.

    Give him a break, LE, Wikipedia is a big site. He'll cut & paste something when he finds it.

    Clinton had nothing to do with the Patriot Act. Why do you say he did? Evidence?

    What a monumentally stupid comparison.

    If you had any knowledge whatsoever of WW2, Nazi Fascism, and the events surrounding Hitler's rise to power, you would apologize.

    Also...unless you are a holocaust denier, find people of Jewish descent and apologize to them for trivializing the attempt at exterminating their race.

    Your hatred for former president Bush blinds your logic, and sullies your Christian witness. Shame on you.

    The "Patriot" Act is based on the FBI actions that took place at WACO, and the John Gotti investigations.

    Do you support Obama's use of this act ?

    You guys need to quit fussing at JC.

    It's his Mama that won't make him stay outside with the other kiddies & thinks he "is so cute talking to the adults" - that is the problem.

    He is just doing what his Mama lets him do!

    And, like any kid, he has found something that garners attention to him, so he keeps using it!

    If you will, note JustChristian's tag line - "Choose life and follow His way of peace not war."

    I think that much of his attitude stems from a shallow understanding of those words.

    Peace means not simply an absence of war between nations but also an expression of the nature of discourse between men (which we find lacking in JC's posts here) and a condition of the spirit (of which we see no evidence of in JC's posts).

    I do not believe that he is a child but merely possesses the temperment, reasoning and communication skills of the same.

    The title of this thread should be changed to:

    Obama on Leno while American economy goes up in flames.

    O'bama rex is using the economic crisis to do just what Hitler did in Germany during the 1930's, establish a socialist/fascist state. Rather than blame it on the Marxists, since he are one, O'bama rex and JC will blame it on President Bush.
