Cal Thomas demonstrates 'elitism at its worst'

Posted: Wednesday, June 18, 2008

DAKOTA DUNES -- Cal Thomas’ questioning of Barack Obama’s Christian belief in his Sunday column is elitism at its worst. Cal’s thoughts on how Evangelicals and serious Catholics would be critical of Obama’s Christian belief creates a dilemma.

The Evangelical believes you must be BORN AGAIN as the path to God. The traditional Catholic believes you must belong to the ONE TRUE APOSTOLIC CHURCH as the path to God. Which of these two paths does Cal suggest Obama take as Christian truth? -- Gene Ebner

" Elites are almost exclusively on the Democratic side (liberals)?!? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh thats good! Those poor conservative underprivileged Yale and Harvard grads, what will they do to survive on the few paltry billion under their parents mattress. You are right about one thing though, we are seeing a financial oligarchy being created, precisely the power that the Glass-Steagall Act was designed to prevent. Both sides are very responsible for this problem. A combination of deregulation and moral hazard bailouts for the top of the economic pyramid, not the bottom will polarize the economy all the more. If youre waving pom-poms for your team convinced its the other sides fault then youve been fooled. If you do enough research on the topic you will see its both their fault and the problem is older and deeper than a few administration. "

" just look who is giving money to Obama's campaign and who is running it. Elites are almost exclusively on the Democratic side (liberals). Higher Academia, multi-millionaire types (Billionaires) Soros, the Al Gore types. Remember, to create socialism or communism you must have a select few that rule and everyone else suffers. At least the rich Republicans understand that they benefit from other's success as well. It's called capitalism and it feeds each other. That is how this country has the wealthiest per capita income (outside small countries like Luxomberg etc.). Change will come, because that is all you will have in your pocket when the democrats are done with you. "

" It gets real old hearing a white guy from South Sioux pretending to be a Mexican and talking about drinking Kool- aid. Where did that phrase come from and what does it mean? Too much O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush! "

" Keith, I will agree. McCain is almost the worst candidate the Republicans have ever chosen. That said, Mr. Obama has the furthest left voting record of any United States Senator. Based on that, I'll swallow the bitter pill and vote for McCain. "
