    Hey, you guys are starting to catch on. Besides, I went to private school so the brainwashing was minimal. Never mind that it was a parable, not an actual statement regarding the potential of 5th grade.

    "Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us -- and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along." -Carl Sagan

    Heck, George Bush was such an avid reader that not even planes crashing into the WTC could stop him.
    OK, just name three.

    holy crap dude you made me spit coffee all over the screen.


    what you mean is, besides, i went to private school so the brainwashing was different.


    fun fact: most private schools are religious institutions as well as educational facilities.


    Good day.

    Quite apart from the fact that it wasn't a parable at all.. Perhaps if he'd stayed awake in 5th grade, he might have known that.

    Really?

    As to Obama's church, I'd say it is a credit to call him a muslim as opposed to whatever the hell one is when they sit under the tutelage of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for 20 years. He should be happy with the label. As should his dedicated and loyal subjects.

    Actually, I did say he was a muslim, when I SHOULD have said he has a muslim background. Which he certainly does.

    So he has a Muslim background.

    What is that even cosmetically related to in regards of a pic of him holding a book?

    Except, of course, that you haven't. Try not pretending.
