Phil Wolf, the owner of an auto dealership in Wheat Ridge, Colo., has posted a billboard, which you can see by clicking on the link that follows, that reads "President or Jihad?" and pictures President Obama wearing a turban....

wlee9696 I saw the turban - Obama has been seen wearing turbans before when he went to Africa. Seeing the turban didn't make me make the jump to racism. A turban to me is not a symbol of racism. In the picture I also noted Obama was black - still didn't make that leap...

Do you think it serves a real purpose? Is it right? Do we have the right to take someone's life,regardless of the crime? I personally againts death penalty,i agree to lifetime sentences rather than death chamber.It will still...

death penalty

wlee9696 Hello spalladino - well it's nice to find something we agree on. There are times when nothing short of the death penalty is appropriate. If society has judged that you cannot be trusted to live among the population again in your lifetime we should not have to...

Just be your self, we need a debate not just a conversation, so we need to put the differences not only the goodness of the both, and i need your own opinion. Just choose one pet to defend. So we can have a good debate and a long...

wlee9696 Well that is what they say. I have nothing at all against dogs - in fact I like them very much. I just like cats better.

I personally think that university education should be totally free because to be educated is the supreme human right of every member of a civilized society. Ironically in some underdeveloped remote tribes, every member of the...

wlee9696 But why should those that have worked hard and have more money have to spend that money on something everyone else gets for free? I think scholarships should be merit based not financially based.

and koran thumpers. would you please stop using your religion as an excuse. i don't think the bible says thou shalt kill' and i don't think the koran says 'kill those you dislike' either.

wlee9696 Either way no one is going to quit defending their position or way of life - everyone thinks they have the right of it. So no I don't think it's the other way around :) I have the right of it.

wlee9696 I respectfully disagree. I do not think that Bush weakened American's status. Bush did a much better job of protecting our reputation as a strong country that could not be pushed around. I did not agree with a lot of Bush's policies but he didn't make us weak...

He is broadcasting a live performance tonight of "The Christmas Sweater" and I don't know if that's the subject of the announcement but he said something to the effect that if anything went wrong tonight he'd spend every cent he's...

wlee9696 That is very interesting. There have been several incidences through history where broadcasts have been taken over. April 27, 1986 HBO had it's broadcast hijacked and for four minutes a written message was displayed over color bars. September 6, 1987 the...

Ok, we know that President Bush ran up a deficit. contrary to popular belief, when taking inflation into account, the Bush deficit is nowhere near as large as the Carter Deficit. President bush for some reason just couldn't say no...

wlee9696 You are correct - that is my own opinion coming through. I think he will surpass Carter but I really really hope a Christmas miracle occurs and he stops the spending and turns things around.

It's no wonder the world economy is in such a mess when our leaders who roam the political stages haven't got the slightest clue about the first rules of budget management. Just look how they chuck tax payers money around without...

The White House has basically declared war on Christmas. God is good enough to be on the dollar bill but apparently not on the White House Christmas Tree. I understand the separation of church and state but, HELLO Christmas is a...

wlee9696 The whole thing started because artisans make and donate the decorations to the tree - the taxpayers are not paying for them. But apparently they were told not to send any ornaments with a religious them or they would be rejected. The tree is also donated by...

wlee9696 I don't want it to be a neutral holiday - I want it to be the Christian holiday it is intended to be. It is everyone else who wants to "celebrate" the season and neutralize it into something it's not. I want to preserve everyone's holidays - Hanukkah, Bohdi...

wlee9696 So what do the children think the presents are for? Do they think you are celebrating Christmas or do you just say this is the time of year we give each other presents for no reason? Does Santa visit them? I ask about Santa because he came from Saint Nicolas...

wlee9696 Because Christmas is a religious holiday God deserves to be allowed to be in the holiday. The article stated that no ornaments could be on the tree that had any religious affiliation. Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus - so why would Jesus not be...

wlee9696 Well non Christians decided Christmas was a great holiday because they liked the trees and presents, but they had a fundamental difference in the religious reason for the holiday. So they decided that it must be altered and made neutral so that everyone can...
