Some people have trouble getting an avatar, but signing in is simple without any need for becoming a recognized Blogger commenter. If it looks like I have an anonymous hit-and-run person, or a troll, I feel perfectly free to delete the comment. But I do respond to anonymous comments which look legitimate. Just somebody having trouble figuring out how to sign on. One of our regular commenters consistently had problems signing in, but it was clear from the comments that the author was legitimate.

It is a prime example of wasted taxpayer dollares.

He's a convenient Christian for vote purposes, but there's no depth to his actual belief. I would consider black liberation theology to be closest to what he might believe. On the other hand, I don't think he's a secret Muslim. I believe that is part of his personality disorder that impels him to adore and respect the father who abandoned him. Since his father was a Muslim, he is incapable of looking at Islam realistically. <br /><br />My best guess is that if he believes in God at all, he's one of those who think Allah, Ya Weh, and Jesus Christ are all just different manifestations of the one true God. It's a dangerous mistake that many genuine Christians also make.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-18644928047743436812011-08-12T14:45:34.936-04:002011-08-12T14:45:34.936-04:00Andrew: Yep.

I agree on what it looks like at the Supreme Court. As we know, the Supreme Court is less reticent to strike an entire act of Congress than are district courts of appeal. Severability is a possibility, but I think they'll look at what the act would accomplish without the mandate and realize that the mandate truly cannot be severed.

He mouthed the "Islam means peace" mantra, and talked about our "Muslim friends" in the Middle East. Obama is actively involved in going way beyond that position. Whether it's simply his inability to distinguish friend from foe, or a conscious preference for Islamic thinking, or a deeply-ingrained and skewed concept of moral relativism, he is exercising every effort to cloud reality about Islamist terrorism. The danger is great. Pretending it doesn't exist, or is comparable to isolated lone wolf self-proclaimed "Christian" terrorism only increases the danger.

When you look at the definition, it fits 100%. In his world, it all revolves around him. Sociopathic people like that (you and I ran into them all the time in the defense chair in a criminal proceeding) are often completely immune to the suffering of others or the needs of anything beyond their own selfish world. <br /><br />Maybe if his mother stopped breast feeding him before he turned 7, it would have helped? Who knows?
