Since the Obamagasmos get hot-and-bothered about McCain's 100-year remark, turnabout is fair play.

Maybe someone on his staff should tell him how many states there are.

At such a young age. How sad.

Perhaps he's going to tax us as if there are 57 states.

Right.

Do you think the US should pull troops out of Europe? After all, WWII ended more than 60 years ago. That's not legitimate foreign policy, is it?

I do think we should make Europe worry about their own defense. I think they can afford it. But I'm just a crazy libertarian.

No kidding. Unless McCain is arguing he meant 100 days, the two statements have nothing in common.

I agree with you. It's time the Euros watch their own backs. I'm also admittedly more isolationist than most.

I'm just reminding Adam what he already knows - that troops staying after a war isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Eh, take your pick. Weren't you blathering about him briefly misspeaking about Sunni and Shiite in a press conference? Candidates misspeak all the time, but in your eyes only the Messiah should get a pass.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
