Is going to call the OSU-Mich rivalry a civil war?

Yea that’s it, indoctrinated self important imbeciles are going to solve this countries ills. It’s precisely because of uneducated people voting that we are in the fix we’re in. The steady decline of our nation can be traced directly to socialist indoctrinated people coming of voting age.

If we survived the Clinton sex and realestate scandles, we can survive anything!

Yes Brian. Maybe a graduate can save NBC from being a huge stinking pile of marxist propaganda. You need someone who doesn’t have their head up Obama’s rear end.

Oh well. One thing libs love to do is to tell young people, ie children, that their opinion matters. Well I really don’t care what children think and children shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Mr.Willams, the only way any graduate from USA where ever can fix this broken country is to get down on their knees and repent of our offensive sins and restore ourself back to the true God of the ten commandants and place God first. Remember this ” Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to Jesus mercy. Yes, I know this is not politically correct , but my friend it is truth.

A good place for the new grads to start would be weeding out all of the 5th columnists masquerading as journalists here in America, and abroad. Pointing out there leftist political agenda, fostered by their horrendous policy of ommision and personal opinion. Watch as they so conveeeeeeniently (church lady) omit any tough questions to, or any unfavorable reporting about, their political “GUY”.
When is SOMEBODY going to ask OBAMA some tough questions?

Rover   June 10th, 2008 - 2:47 pm

Yea any of them can save the country as long as they are liberal, and progressive thinkers. These white redneck repubs have totally made a mess of our nation.

They can’t even win a national championship. Please.

Good medical school though.

Nope ‘08

The country survived “Jimmy Carter”. The country can survive “Jimmy Carter, the sequal”.

Hey Rover– it is obvious to me you are still under the influence of your Lunch. You really ought to cut back to 5 or 6 at noon, your liver will love ya for it! Progressive thinkers? What that truely means is Anti American, anti capitalist, anti religion, anti gun, & pro descrimination -(affirmative action)pro baby murderer, pro unimployment ( higher minimum wage), pro higher taxes, in short — you think you know what’s best for me and my family. No one is able to decide for themselves. MORE MORE RULES AND LAWS–the more miserey you rectums can inflict on this country, the happier you are. If everyone isn’t just as unhappy as can be — your job isn’t done.
You all stink, and your day of reconing is upon us.

GRADS, NOW THAT YOU’VE COMPLETED COLLEGE, CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION BY READING THE QUEST FOR RIGHT.

THE BIGGER PICTURE IN THE DEBATE ON DARWINISM IS NOT INTELLIGENT DESIGN.

The reason is elementary: the Discovery Institute and other ID proponents leave out the Triune God, Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Hence, Richard Dawkins can make the case for “aliens” seeding the earth.

The Quest for Right, a series of 7 textbooks created for the public schools, represents the ultimate marriage between an in-depth knowledge of biblical phenomena and natural and physical sciences. The several volumes have accomplished that which, heretofore, was deemed impossible: to level the playing field between those who desire a return to physical science in the classroom and those who embrace the theory of evolution. The Quest for Right turns the tide by providing an authoritative and enlightening scientific explanation of natural phenomena which will ultimately dethrone the unprofitable Darwinian view.

“I am amazed at the breadth of the investigation – scientific history, biblical studies, geology, biology, geography, astronomy, chemistry, paleontology, and so forth – and find the style of writing to be quite lucid and aimed clearly at a general, lay audience.” ― Mark Roberts, former Editor of Biblical Reference Books, Thomas Nelson Publishers.

The Quest for Right series of books, based on physical science, the old science of cause and effect, has effectively dismantled the quantum additions to the true architecture of the atom. Gone are the nonexistent particles once thought to be complementary to the electron and proton (examples: neutrons, neutrinos, photons, mesons, quarks, Z’s, bosons, etc.) and a host of other pseudo particles.

To the curious, scientists sought to explain Atomic theory by introducing fantastic particles that supposedly came tumbling out of the impact between two particles, when in fact, the supposed finds were simply particulate debris. There are only two elementary particles which make up the whole of the universe: the proton and electron. All other particles were added via quantum magic and mathematical elucidation in an attempt to explain earthly phenomena without God.

Introducing the scheme of coincidence, which by definition, “is the systematic ploy of obstructionists who, in lieu of any divine intervention, state that any coincidental grouping or chance union of electrons and protons (and neutrons), regardless of the configuration, always produces a chemical element. This is the mischievous tenet of electron interpretation which states that all physical, chemical, and biological processes result from a change in the electron structure of the atom which, in turn, may be deciphered through the orderly application of mathematics, as outlined in quantum mechanics. A few of the supporting theories are: degrading stars, neutron stars, black holes, extraterrestrial water, antimatter, the absolute dating systems, and the big bang, the explosion of a singularity infinitely smaller than the dot of an “i” from which space, time, and the massive stellar bodies supposedly sprang into being.

The Quest for Right is not only better at explaining natural phenomena, but also may be verified through testing. As a consequence, the material in the several volumes will not violate the so-called constitutional separation of church and state. Physical science, the old science of cause and effect, will have a long-term sustainability, replacing irresponsible doctrines based on whim. Teachers and students will rejoice in the simplicity of earthly phenomena when entertained by the new discipline.

Williams is such a tool, the whole network should be put on trial for treason.

I hate right wing scum. Do us all a favor and ruin some other country!

Some interesting votes made by Barack Obama:

Gun rights advocates will be interested to know that while Barack voted for child protective trigger locks (seems pretty rational) he also voted AGAINST allowing the government to confiscate private citizen’s legally owned guns during an emergency (as happened in New Orleans).

He voted FOR increasing the minimum wage.

He voted FOR expanding the rights of employees to form unions, and expanding fines on employers who engaging in illegal union busting activities.

He voted FOR establishing the role of English as a unifying language in America.

He voted against double-layer fencing along the border, but FOR triple-layer fencing.

He voted FOR the legalization of importation of cheaper prescription drugs.

He voted FOR a bill that increases restrictions on lobbyists, increased the mandatory waiting period before gov’t officials are allowed become a lobbyist, requires greater disclosure of donations, and bars Senators and Congressmen from receiving Civil Service Retirement Funds if convicted of bribery, fraud, perjury, corruption, or conspiracy.

He voted FOR the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health insurance Program (S-Chip)

He voted FOR expanding educational programs to prevent unwanted teen pregnancies.

He voted FOR increasing the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

He voted FOR the Equal Pay Bill.

He voted FOR expanding the GI Bill.

He voted FOR barring immigration of anyone with a criminal history that includes convictions for gang violence, child abuse, neglect, or abandonment, human trafficking, obstruction of justice, domestic violence, or a felony count of driving under the influence.

He voted FOR financial relief for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

He voted FOR a one-year moratorium barring earmarks.

He voted AGAINST the credit card company-written Bankruptcy Bill.

Voted FOR an amendment to fine employers as much as $20,000 for each illegal immigrant they hired, and required imprisonment for up to 3 years for employers with a pattern of violating the employment laws, and also banned such employers from receiving or maintaining government contracts for 5 years.

He voted FOR increasing the Medicaid rebate on generic drugs.

He voted FOR a ban on clusterbomb ammunition use in civilian areas.

He voted FOR the restoration of Habeus Corpus.

He voted AGAINST telecom immunity for their violations of American’s 4th Amendment rights.

He voted FOR restoring funding for the civil works programs of the Corps of Engineers, the Federal Water Pollution Control State Revolving Fund, the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Federal conservation programs, through an offset achieved by closing corporate tax loopholes.

Maybe those OSU students can rehab that Maurice Clarett guy so he is not robbing his fellow Ohioans then they can work on that BCS.

== BACK in 1963 ==
The crime rate, divorse, unwed mothers, abortions, teen suicides, crime and other “broken” factors of this nation were at their lowest and going down. And then something happened. Prayer and the Bible were removed from public schools by the US Supreme court. Now all these factors continue to multiple and are 500% higher than 1963. Yes, Brian Williams, let’s fix this broken nation.
