"UPDATE: 2:45 p.m. -- Patch's William Mansell has video of the actual comments that drew attention on Sunday in Sarasota. The full quote is below, and the context does suggest that Bachmann is making the comment about the hurricane and earthquake for effect, rather than to be taken literally. Nonetheless, there is a suggestion in her comment that God wants what small government conservatives want."

Maybe if Mrs Bachman had just altered data and photoshopped pics, you liberals would be defending her and her position.

Without EQ the planet would probably explode.
EQ are like "pressure relief valves" and plate shifting allows for the Earth to 'vent" and to adjust to the ever shifting mantle.

The planet is the way it is because it can be no other way.

IF God has anything to do with EQ then it is that he created the earth this way, way before we ever came along.
WE must adapt to the planet, not the other way around.

Why can't "god" fix everything. I mean every time there is an earthquake many innocent people lose their lives. Others are made homeless and traumatised by the loss of their loved ones. Of course, when they find a live baby under the rubble after a few days, people are ready to scream that it was "miracle" that he survived and that it was god's work, but they never ask about the other thousands of men, women and children who perished. :confused:

This "god" of ours is certainly a mysterious character, if somewhat psychopathic.... LOL!

What people attribute to God is what PEOPLE attribute to God.
You sure you want God to "fix everything"?
I know I wouldn't.
You want a dictator God that comes crashing into this world and imposes HIS will and eliminates free will?
I wouldn't.
As for natural disaters.
They are NATURAL and only disasters when the destroy and kill people.
Notice that no one ever has issues when an EQ happenes and no one knows about it, like that happens every day.

Why would God fix something that exists for a purpose and has existed for billions of years before we came along?

You'd think that those that came AFTER the fact should adapt, not the other way around.

You seem to have a curious view of God, wanting him to "fix everything".
Why?

[Royal Dragon]

I would like to point out that Japan has EQs over 4 EVERY DAY, and has since shortly before the big one.

So far today there have been two 4.7s

[BJJ-Blue]

You seem to have a curious view of God, wanting him to "fix everything".
Why?

Because he is a liberal. They always want someone/something to fix everything. They voted in this idiot community organizer to fix our 5% unemployment and rising national debt. Now we have unemployment at 9% and as of 2010 the national debt had increased 12.5%.

I am not a Liberal!

I don't believe in such labels. That includes being called a "Democrat", "Republican", "Conservative", "Left Wing" , "Right Wing" - as all these are false illusions created to divide and rule mankind.

I have said this before, the "Democrats" and the "Republicans" are not in charge of the US. The US is a one party State. The "Democrats" and the "Republicans" are the masks on the same face. Infact the "division" between these two parties is less and less as there are "Republicans" active in Obama's government. Kissinger himself is an advisor or something to this administration.

Anyway, unfortunately the rest of the world is not much different from the US. The people who run the world have trillions of dollars to play with. They can create booms and busts at will, and they do. They can provoke regime changes across the globe.

People need to look beyond the false illusionary divisions that are thrown at us, and that includes religion and "god"!

That is not to say I don't believe in an universal force that controls things, but that is very different than the usual image of an ivisible CARING all powerful man sitting in the sky, who is all mighty and controls everything in the universe, but somehow does not give a **** if earthquakes, diseases, wars and famine destroy entire cities, just because "that is the way things are"....

A "god" that allows one psychopath after another to come to power in the industrialized countries, and then wage war and mass murder on other nations, who also believe in him, perhaps more so than the power nations bombing them into oblivion, and under false pretences at that....:rolleyes:


People should really wake up and smell the fish. Of you want god, then look within yourself; meditate and calm your mind, that is where you will find the universal force and connect with it, because you are not going to find god in some book written by some mind control manipulators who were regurgitating older Babylonian/Egyptian/Greek religions, and giving them a new twist for the modern Roman Empire.

Yes, the concept of "Son of God", was used to hoodwink people thousands of years before the concept of "Jesus" was ever invented!

If a universal force "controls" things, then it is active and it is interactive.
The laws of the universe are what they are, and were that we before we came along.

For someone that likes conspiracy theories, you shoulld know better than to swallow that BS that has been disproven even before either of us were born.

A little reading on the "other side" of the table wouldn't hurt you, if it is that much of an issue.
Or are you the type that stops researching when they find the "conclusion" that best suits them and then ignores the counter arguments?

How so?

Unemployment averaged 5.3% under Bush. It's averaging over 9% under the community organizer. Facts are facts. And by the way, your chart only showed Bush's last two years, it didn't show the first 6 years. You liberals do that alot, you act as if Bush's terms only encompassed 2007-2008.

Care to admit I didn't make up statisitcs, or do you have 'Jamieson syndrome' and are unable to admit fault or errors?

I know you didn't get a real education and all, but this should just be common sense.

Your basic math skills are failing you. So I'll make this simple.
By your own graph;
Clinton enters at 7.30% and leaves 3.90%
Bush enters at 4.20% and leaves 7.30% (what was that BS about trickling down?)

Obama's first month starts him at 7.80%. Baby Bush left him even more crap than his daddy left Clinton. Oh but hey looky there, US Exits Iraq war and the numbers start to drop...The problem with Obama is that when he told you mouthbreathers to sit in the back, he didn't really mean it...


Unemployment averaged 5.3% under Bush
He inherited Clinton's economy. And subsequently took a **** on it

And btw (4.2+7.3)/2= 5.75%, not 5.3%

So yes, you are making up statistics

Oh boy. :rolleyes:

Clinton's final 6 years he had a GOP Congress. Bush's final 2 years he had a liberal Democrat Congress. Look at when Clinton's economy got on track, and when Bush's went off track.


Obama's first month starts him at 7.80%.

And where is it now? 9.1% And his own people are saying it won't fall below 8% before Novemember 2012. So he will have 4 full years and it only went up. That's economic failure.

And the community organizer may be the ONLY post-WWII US President to NEVER have a quarter with 4% economic growth. Even Carter wasn't that bad!

He inherited a mess, the "dot-com" bubble had just burst. Then 9/11 happened. And through it all he maintained an unemployment average of 5.3%. That, my friend, is solid economic policies.


And btw (4.2+7.3)/2= 5.75%, not 5.3%

So yes, you are making up statistics

LMFAO!!! I may be an uneducated buffoon, but at least I passed basic math.

To get an average, you use EVERY month, not just the first and the last. Do we calculate batting averages using the player's opening day stats and then his closing day stats only? Of course not.

You average every month Bush was President, you come up with a 5.3% average. With the community organizer, it's over 9%. And he has a year and a half to go!

Here's that link again that has every month's unemployment rate, so you can do the basic math yourself:

Clinton's final 6 years he had a GOP Congress. Bush's final 2 years he had a liberal Democrat Congress. Look at when Clinton's economy got on track, and when Bush's went off track. Then how is the economy Obama's fault?

[JamesC]

Clinton is from Arkansas. You can all send me your thanks now. I take cash or credit. :D

[BJJ-Blue]

Then how is the economy Obama's fault?

It's not fully his fault. But the fact that it's gotten worse his first two years is his fault. And he had a Democrat-controlled House and Senate for his first two years. And the Senate was filibuster-proof for over a year as well. And the laws he signed only made it worse, and drove up the deficit at the same time.

Democrat policies caused the 2007-2008 recession. Clinton's deregulation created the housing bubble, and Democrats led by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd refused to open Fannie and Freddy's books while swearing they were doing just fine. Bush and the GOP tried to institute MORE regulation in 2004 and were stopped by Congressional Democrats (who even resorted to using the race card to fight off new regulations).

[MasterKiller]

It's not fully his fault. But the fact that it's gotten worse his first two years is his fault. . LOL at your logic.

Clinton's success = 100% attributable to Regan's legacy and then a Repub congress.

Bush's failures = 100% attributable to Clinton's legacy and a Democratic congress, even though Republicans were in the majority for the first 1/2 of his term.

Obama's failures = 98% his, plus 2% goes to congress right up until Republicans gained more seats, then it's 100% Obama after that.

[BJJ-Blue]

LOL at your logic.

Clinton's success = 100% attributable to Regan's legacy and then a Repub congress.

I'm laughing at you once again putting words in my mouth. I never gave Reagan credit for Clinton's policies. Never. Matter of fact, GHW Bush went away from some of them so they were not fully in effect by the time Clinton was President.

But he did change his economic policies after the 1994 elections. You do know what the term "triangulation" is, right?


Bush's failures = 100% attributable to Clinton's legacy and a Democratic congress.

I didn't say that as you put it.

I said the housing bubble was caused by Democrat policies and Clinton's deregulation. That is true. But Bush did spend too much, and I've blamed him for that in the past. And you know that. And that is his fault. FYI, I'm also against campaign finance reform law(s) he signed into law as well. You won't see me say Bush was perfect, but the community organizer does make him look like an economic genuis.

And again, Bush was not a failure. 5% unemployment when you come into office facing a possible recession, then have 9/11 happen, is pretty good leadership if you ask me.


Obama's failures = 98% his, plus 2% goes to congress right up until Republicans gained more seats, then it's 100% Obama after that.

His failures are 100% his. Not ONE policy that he enacted those first two years was a success. Not one. Of course if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

As to the economy now, you can't blame the GOP. Not one of their bills that passed the House was signed into law as they passed it. They were either vetoed by the community organizer, didn't make it through the Senate, or were changed before being passing Congress and signed into law. So you can't blame the Party that has one chamber of Congress when the other has the White House and the other chamber of Congress. If we get a Republican President and GOP control of both chambers of Congress and they make things worse, I'll call them on it. I won't sit here and make excuses for them for 2.5 years+.

[MasterKiller]

His failures are 100% his.


It's not fully his fault.
