I like Obama a lot. Does that make me the Anti-Christ too? Using that rhetoric is what gets people in a lot of hot water. In fact, since the majority of the country claims the Christian religion, that means a lot of Christians voted for him. Does that make them anti-christs or apostates or whatever terms you want to use? Art- I am a Christian person. I like Obama a lot. Does that make me the Anti-Christ too?

You are a prophet -- obviously very confused. Art, LOL, I had heard the Anti-Christ charge before but him being an illegal alien is a new one. How could he be an illegal immigrant to the United States, no matter where he was born, if his mother was a citizen?!? The popularity and success of Obama seems to have unhinged your mind so that you are spouting blatant and obvious nonsense. Pat,

They gave this evil, illegal alien way more press than he anyone should have had. He is the Anti-Christ. Kenya can have him back any time.

I prefer more level headed, intelligent men such as Micahel Medved. Rush is no closer to being like Jesus than the next guy. Those that refer to B-Rock as "The One" or "The Messiah" probably would not appreciate the photo I have of him in my office with red horns coming out of his head. Many of my fellow workers enjoy, it though. I am a Conservative, but Rush is a loud mouth and I rarely listen to his radio show. I prefer more level headed, intelligent men such as Micahel Medved.

At worst, they are inefficient, wasteful and corrupt depending on the region. Of course are you insinuating the Republicans are "The Party of God?" There is another word for that you might be more familiar with -- Hizbollah. But no, the Democrats do not enofrce the sex codes of any religion. They believe individuals can do that themselves.

Countless clergy and devout laity of various Christian denominations have characterized Jesus as "standing for peace, love and humility." But mike says "people that make these comments have never even read scripture….or have the capabilities of understanding it." And then mike, in emulation of his fellow wingnut Erick Erickson, likens Limbaugh to Jesus. I'm telling you folks, it's getting increasingly difficult for us progressives to satirize these right-wing loons. Their own utterances are so laughably over-the-top that it's impossible to exaggerate them.
