      The real issue is Obama is not even (likely) a citizen of the United States which goes against our constitution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhKuunp8D8&feature=player_embedded[^] The first clip may be doctored but most of them are not. And, the main point still stands even if Obama did or did not admit it himself. He is not eligible to be the President, yet there he is. That is what is most messed up.

        About what? Can you answer? What do you have a problem with? If you believe in the Bible you shouldn't have a problem with anything regarding Joseph Smith.

            He was born on US soil, as I understand it. However, if that does not qualify then of course he should not be able to run as president. I am not a lawyer nor an expert on what qualifies on natural born but I do believe our constitution needs to be upheld, regardless of who it is.

              Ah, but Mitt comes from a church that prays and baptizes the dead and forgotten, even if they don't believe and/or requested such posthumous renderings. He is also a millionaire, so he must be a financial genius among men...no women. Women take a back seat in the Mormon faith and Mitt is a devout Mormon.

              If we are going to make fun of Mitt's faith, can we bring up the church Obama attended for 20 years? With the fanatical minister screaming about how "whitey is the devil"? (not hard to find videos online, unless you are looking at ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN web sites of course)

                One is too much for some. This is also another false claim against Mormons.

                    You don't even live in the US, so of course you want the worse possible President for us. Still bitter over that thing a couple of hundred years ago. :) Obama is way worse than Bush. Obama is radical, leftist, socialist, anti-American, anti-Constitution, etc, etc. I saw a sign the other day that mentioned our gas was $1.78/gallon when Obama took office and now it is $3.70/gallon, how's that for change? Ya, Obama is no good.

                    So you want Obama to implement radical, leftist, socialist policies in order to make sure we don't pay more than $1.78 for gas? Do you pay the $3.70? Would you pay $4.50? If so, let 'em charge it. Otherwise, you're a socialist, anti-business liberal.

                      It's simple really. His politics and socialist practices have deflated the dollar worldwide. That is a major contributing factor to our prices going up. The dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to.

                        sure. I am not religious, nor do I believe in God. I don't want my country to be run on faith. I don't think I was making fun of the Mormon faith, if it came off that way, then I apologize. Although I am not a believer, I do try not to "make fun" of someone's faith. Pointing out what I and millions of other people deem to be facts, is not "making fun". Hurting sensitive feelings, maybe, but not "making fun". -- Cheers.

                          Absolutely not. No, I did not use it as a "solid ref." Ironically, you also used internet references to backup your side. There is always an article to support any point of view.

                          First off you brought up the point and only gave that link as your ref, thus implying your point must be true because of it, i.e. that is your "solid ref" Secondaly using youtube as a reference is by no means comparible to using wikipedia. Granted wikipedia is not the same as using a straight up encyclipedia, but it is the next best thing in todays digital world. It is truth controlled by the people. Sure things get messed up etc etc, but it eventually all comes together. youtube is for anyone to post whatever the heck they want so long as no "X" or copywrittenn material. By no means is it a solid reference. Using it as a ref is about as effective as saying its true because I said its true. Yes there is an article to support any view. However look at references to and from the article. Wikipedia is full of both. Thats why it is a decent source. This is why FOX is crap. They do things like "Some people say <Insert right wing propoganda here>" and get away with it because by FOX announcing it, they have essentially made their statement true but not the claim. For example, I can say truthfully "Some people say that ryanb31[^] is a FOX drone that was put here on CP to stir up controversy amoungst the programming community" I just said it so the statement is true. Wether the claim is true is irrelevent. This is a tactic that FOX has been using for years to push bogus propoganda such as Obama's legitimacy to the presidency.

                          Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                            You obviously have no idea how gas is priced. The US has been paying a fraction of the price that the rest of the world has for decades. Now that it is balancing you gripe. You are like every other propogandist. You want everything for cheap yet don't understand the economics of why it is cheap and why it can not continue to be cheap. Supply and demand says it will go up. Then you have dim wit presidential canidates proposing $2.50 per gallon locked. Now that is socialism. Get it straight.

                                Since you do not understand global economics you will not understand what I was saying. You take this too personal and making many assumptions about me that are incorrect and unfounded.

                                  Wikipedia edits can be (and for articles people actually read, are) reviewed. Youtube contains whatever the hell people dump on it. It's like asking "what's the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and arxiv?", with some emphasis on "like" because wikipedia articles are not guaranteed to be peer reviewed, they can be "reviewed by some dumbfuck" or not reviewed at all. It at least tries to have some semblance of review though. edit: also, why is someone downvoting the entire thread?

                                    I do not rant on Dave because for the most part his statement was rather "jokish". Quite funny if you ask me. Although he did not put a joke icon... To me that just says Haha its funny cause its true. You however responded directly to his post about BS propoganda comming from... Need I say it. FOX. That is why I keep bringing it up. You say you don't watch it. Well you clearly watch or listen to their affiliates. That is where that crap came from. People that watch FOX then ran with it to make up more BS using the same tactics.

                                    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                                      Wikipedia edits can be (and for articles people actually read, are) reviewed. Youtube contains whatever the hell people dump on it. It's like asking "what's the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and arxiv?", with some emphasis on "like" because wikipedia articles are not guaranteed to be peer reviewed, they can be "reviewed by some dumbfuck" or not reviewed at all. It at least tries to have some semblance of review though. edit: also, why is someone downvoting the entire thread?

                                      Cause he can't handle when he is wrong. He downvotes people that don't agree with his philosophy. Quite amusing actually, cause the math works against him. Post +1 Low Rep downvote -2 High Rep Counter +24 Net +23 sometimes more as sometimes there are even more counter votes. Sometimes less cause sometimes the coutner is not a high rep. Either way one counter lifts the rep. Where as if he did not univote you would have just got a +1 for the post. So thank you mr. univoter. I just hit 18K cause of you ;)

                                        How do you know mine was not also meant to be humorous? Just because you misunderstood me don't get uptight about it. Are you saying every one of the clips in that youtube video and even the radio clips in it were from Fox? You clearly have an issue with Fox. So, who do you get your news from? CNN, I'll bet.

                                          Because I can read and I have read Dave's and your posts before. So now you are claiming it was a Joke?

                                          No I did not say that. I said they were prompted by FOX's propoganda. Yes I have an issue with any media that claims to be unbiased yet clearly is. I get my news from numerous sources, including CNN and yes even FOX. However, I disect it when it is something I want to discuss publicly. In fact I tend to play devils advocate with most reports if I sence any political banter as canidates and their campaign committees have been caught numerous times for leaking false information. This is not just republicans either, although they tend to do it more and get caught doing so as well.
