  Eric stated...There have been numerous biblical references and many calls for blessings during the DNC convention

  Yes, there have. One can imagine the long line to the rest room for Democrats to vomit after listening to such outrageous religious language they were forced to endure.( from their perspective).

  In stark contrast, the GOP convention had religious references but the audience appreciated it and actually comprehended its meaning and intent. It is why Democrats perceive the GOP convention to be so hateful...all though religious references are an insult to their intelligence. Imagine the Republicans saying God Bless America and actually meaning it. Hard for a democrat to comprehend.

  Eric, can you post the exact wording of the constitution that states what you say it does. I cannot find it.

  Anyone who perceives that Ms Warren and Mr Clinton knocked it out of the park needs to be treated with patience and kindness as American reality in not in play here. The "park" Eric must be referring to is St .Petersburg Square in Russia. I can just hear Putin say, "that's my kind of speech.

  They don't want to eradicate them they just want to insure a seperation of church and state as called for in the Constitution of The United States. There bhave been numerous biblical refrences and many calls for blessings during the DNC convention. Glad to hear you are watching the convention did Elizebeth Warren and President Clinton knock it out of the park or what.

  Darrell it’s good to hear you think so highly of Harvard, from Wiki.

  In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year,[39] and president of the journal in his second year.[33][40] During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he worked as an associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990.[41] After graduating with a J.D. magna c-u-m laude[42] from Harvard in 1991, he returned to Chicago.[39]
  Also it is interesting that you neglected to finish the sentence in your post a person might think you were intentionally trying to mislead. By the way The Chicago Law School ranks 5th in the nation to Harvard 's 3rd so you are correct it is a lower ranked school.

  Ms Johnson stated...Prayer was not in school 40 yrs ago. How in the world could any reasonable person draw this conclusion? Why in the world would law suits reached the supreme court attempting to ban prayer in public schools if it werer not a normal activity objected to by secular people?

  On June 25, l962, 39 million students were forbidden to do what they and their predecessors had been doing since the founding of our nation – publicly calling upon the name of the Lord at the beginning of each school day.

  The New York school children which prompted the Engel vs. Vitale ruling had simply prayed: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee and beg Thy blessing over us, our parents, our teachers and our nation.”

  It's interesting how a couple of planks in the Democrat platform were removed and then reinstalled - both having to do with matters of faith. Now as far as I could tell listening to the vote on Jerusalem’s status, unless the sound on my television is faulty, the Nays actually had it (after three votes). I was unable to hear the vote on reinserting "God" into the preamble, so I'd be interested to learn from others here who might have actually listened to that part of the convention as to whether or not it wasn't just pushed through like Jerusalem was.

  As a man of faith who believes deeply not only in the existence of God but the need to trust in Him as an integral part of our success, this kicking Him out at every turn is very disturbing. Since God and Jesus have always been in the hearts and souls of the black community even when they were in slavery, how in the world could they support any political party that wants to eradicate Them from the national discourse.

  It could be that this very issue might make the difference in President Barack Hussein Obama's re-election hopes in November. I sure hope so!!

  Oh and I forgot he didn't create the mess he came into this mess created by 8 yrs of President Bush. Not to mention the last time we had a surplus in both the USA and California the Democrats were in office. Health care have you really studied it? I have and yes we are benefiting from it. So yes we need a President, but for me OBAMA is just starting to get us on even footing and electing someone who is not for middle class america is not an option for me.

  I think you need to check your facts. Prayer was not in school 40 yrs ago. The pledge was taken out by the COURTS not the president. The last I checked he was not in charge of the COURTS. You really want to blame someone for the demise of America you and I along with every other American need to look in the mirror. We elected the politians that create this mess. NOT just the President, but all politians from Federal to Local. You want to blame OBAMA for everything, but you neglect to state that it takes the house and senate to pass the laws he gets the final say so. So if you think he is to blame for everything again look at the voting record for the republicans you are backing. Oh and schools let's see universities are raising tutions because they don't have enough money to run them, but then give the President's fo the univeristies raises. A person really needs 200+ thousand a year to survive when the students they are suppose to be taking care of work 2-3 jobs and live on student loans just to cover one semester. Welfare was under control. Hmmm did you see how many unemployeed people there were 40 years ago and how many kids were in foster care oh and how many single parents there were 40 yrs ago. Boarders were patrolled. True, but I don't see you complaining when the illegals were picking your fruit to help you harvest and some even giving their lives to do it due to poor working conditions. Greed and ignorance in America is what caused this and that is not a Demorcratic, Republican, Tea Party, etc issue that is an AMERICAN issue. Maybe we need to start going back to our forefather's theroy. If you don't have the money you don't spend the money. Oh and did I mention no one has gotten anywhere in life without the help of someone. If you say otherwise you are fooling yourself.

  Did Obama really teach Constitutional Law?

  As reported in a Wall Street Journal column:

  He spoke slowly, with long pauses, giving the sense that he was speaking with great thought and precision: "Well, first of all, let me be very specific. Um [pause], we have not seen a court overturn [pause] a [pause] law that was passed [pause] by Congress on [pause] a [pause] economic issue, like health care, that I think most people would clearly consider commerce. A law like that has not been overturned [pause] at least since Lochner, right? So we're going back to the '30s, pre-New Deal."

  Lochner v. New York is one of the most important cases in Constitutional Law. How could someone who was supposed to be a professor of Constitutional Law at a top-14 law school not know that Lochner v. New York was about the Supreme Court overturning a New York STATE statute and not a federal statute? And then he was thirty years off because Lochner was decided in 1905.

  Darrell I was mistaken Obama taught Consitutional Law at the University of Chicago not Harvard I did notice that you seem to have left the last of the sentence off let me correct that for you.

  He then taught at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years—as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004—teaching constitutional law.[45]

  and from the University of Chicago Scool of Law

  
  By 1993, Obama was teaching Current Issues in Racism and the Law—a class he designed—and added Constitutional Law III in 1996.

  Sorry Eric, you are wrong again. According to Wikipedia...

  In an interview with Ebony in 1990 ( while a student at Harvard), Obama stated that he saw a degree in law as a vehicle to facilitate better community organization and activism:Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991...In 1991, Obama accepted a two-year position as Visiting Law and Government Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School to work on his first book. He then taught at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years—as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004

  Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve was overwhelmingly passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. The vote was 327 to 98. You would think that a bill with such overwhelming support would easily become law but it won’t because Barack Obama and the Democrats plan to kill it.

  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has already said that the Senate will not even consider the bill.

  If the Federal Reserve can zap trillions of dollars into existence out of thin air and loan that money to their friends at the big banks and to central banks in other countries, then it should not be too much to ask them to be accountable to the American people.

  Mr Bransom stated...But it is sad that so many people think the election of a single person will make a difference when there are 535 more that none of you seem to have ever heard of and thousands more behind the scenes pulling their strings

  Humm... maybe the millions and millions of people around the world are wrong and Jerry is right. Maybe the millions of people in United States are wrong and Jerry is right as well. But I do not think so.

  Most of the planet has the perception that the occupant of the white house is the most powerful person in the world. This person can veto any bill he does not approve of and can implement executive orders and make decisions that have significant consequences ( like sending our military to Vietnam and Iraq). Many bills never make it out of committee simply because the president announces he will veto the bill.

  To think that this one man does not make a difference is inexplicable and downright moronic. Jerry is an intelligent man, but on this one, all one can do is scratch one's head.

  Evidently Ms. Bobin isn't aware or doesn't understand how the process of Presidential Executive Orders circumvents Congress. Not that Obamacare was an executive order.
  My point is, maybe she should read how an executive order works. Obama has quite a track record of executive orders. The latest being granting 2 million illegals backdoor amnesty by circumventing immigration laws.

  When Obama accepted rotating status as chairman of the United Nations Security Council, he committed high treason.

  Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8 of the Constitution for the United States of America, states emphatically:

  “No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States; and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall without consent of Congress accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

  The U.S. government’s indebtedness to foreign interests has grown by 72.3 percent during President Barack Obama’s term in office. In January 2009, when Obama was inaugurated, the U.S. government owed $3.0717 trillion to foreign entities, according to the Treasury Department. That has increased by $2.2206 trillion or 72.3 percent to the record $5.2923 trillion!!!

  I attended public school from 1960 to 1973. NEVER was there any prayer said in any classroom. We recited the Pledge every day. Never a prayer in sight. Nor was there any protest of the absence of prayer. Not until the 1980's when Reagan suddenly became the champion on prayer in the classroom.

  No one missed it because anyone to whom prayer was an important issue found solace in their place of worship - where it should remain - according to the Constitution of the United States of Amerca.

When the movie ended, you could see many people with shocked expressions on their face. I heard several people who said they voted for Obama in 2008 say they were ashamed of their vote. Another couple I overheard said they were not concerned for themselves but for their children who would eventually suffer the consequences of an Obama presidency...

  I highly recommend all pro and anti Obama people view this film. You will be shocked but better informed as to who Omaba really is.

  When President Reagan entered office, spending, deficits, and debt had been steadily rising for decades. Yet the nation’s fiscal situation was under control and the federal government’s spending did not pose nearly the threat it does today. The national deficit in FY 1980 was only 2.6 percent of GDP.

  So, public school prayer was deemed unconstitutional in 1962, 50 years ago, not too far from 40, I guess. But the pledge is required; we pledge everyday in every first period class. We did have debt, dropping to a post-war low of 24% of GDP in 1974 (112% of GDP in 1945). That president that did what he said he would, was that... Nixon 40 years ago, and did HE "live" by the Constitution? But all of this "goodness" has been lost... in the last 3.5 years?

  Oh, and those good ol' days like 1972, the top marginal tax rate was 70%. Oh except, in the late 60's it had gone up a bit. I guess that means during war time, you're supposed to raise taxes... is that right Mr. Bush?

  Steve,
  I know you're not concerned about the treaties Obama wants to sign before he gets kicked out of the White House. But you should stay informed.

  Chuckle.... School Prayer? Deficit Spending?

  Most of the what Ms West is complaining about happened during either the Nixon or the Reagan Administrations. If she wants to go back in time and retroactively impeach those two shining lights of the Republican Party, she can be my guest.
