Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
The Broken Made Whole
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
Series: Chosen by God: Biblical Election and the Imago Dei
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Is There "Junk" in Your Genome?
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Series: What Does "Image of God" Mean?
In this series, Pete Enns discusses what it means to be made in God's image according to Genesis 1:26-27. These verses show that humans are made in God's image in order to rule over all creation as representatives of God. He argues that humanity's image is not wrapped up in their soul, but in their role as caretakers. In this discussion, he mentions that God commands Israel to make no graven images to represent God because humans are living images themselves. Ultimately, Jesus is the perfect image of God, and humans are called to live in Christ.
Series: Miracles and Science
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
On What It Means To Be An Image Bearer
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright suggests that what the book of Genesis and the apostle Paul mean by humans "bearing the image of God" is less a static picture and more of a creative, dynamic proposition-- specifically, how we "reflect" God into the world.
Signature in the Pseudogenes, Part 1
One interesting feature of looking at genomes is that often we can find the mutated remains of once-functional genes. These are called pseudogenes, or "false genes." Pseudogenes might be part of a shared backstory for two species, or they might crop up independently after two species go their separate ways.
Signature in the Synteny
In some ways, comparing the DNA sequence between related organisms is like reading alternative history novels. The hypothesis of common ancestry between similar organisms makes a very straightforward prediction about their genomes...
Evidence for Evolution in the Mouths of Birds
A friend tells me the most important task for The BioLogos Forum is to present evidence of evolution in ways people without a biology background can understand.
Evolution and the Imago Dei
Genesis 1:26-27 reads: "Then God said, `Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

I suspect it was running over a Mexican that did the damage (back roads in Bakersfield?)
What is that thing? It's beautiful.
G. atlanticus is able to feed on P. physalis due to its immunity to the venomous nematocysts. The slug consumes the entire organism and appears to select and store the most venomous nematocysts for its own use. The venom is collected in specialized sacs (cnidosacs), on the tip of their cerata, the thin feather-like "fingers" on its body.[4] Because Glaucus stores the venom, it can produce a more powerful and deadly sting than the Man o' War upon which it feeds.
Oh, meep.
I took the back road out of work today. It was getting dark out and I heard a :THUNK: meep. I got out and checked for damage, but couldn't see anything. I get back in the truck and continue driving home and now there's some vibe in the engine when I hit the gas. :Oh meep.: :DON"T BE THE TRANNYDON"T BE THE TRANNYDON"T BE THE TRANNY...: (I can fix just about anything but the transmission) I limp home and here's what I find: This is my luck in a nutshell: It was a perfect hit. DEAD center on an easily removed part. (No other damage.) But THIS is what the part costs:
The catalyst in that catalytic converter is platinum, hence the four figure price tag. Is that a lead wiring conduit?
Only little ones in Brissy then eh?
meep. That's going to tear someone up real good.

Instead of going out all lonely, let's share stargazing time! Sharing views through different telescopes/binoculars, and knowledge about the constellations/deep sky objects and how to find them. I founded this group partly as a curiosity to see if others want to stargaze around the same area too. There are other London groups, but not as many focussed on night viewings in London and specifically in Lambeth/Wandsworth, probably mostly at weekends when later finishes isn't a problem.

Inkubate Principal & Co-Founder, Jay D. Gale (seen below) writes on his experience attending last night's N.H. Writers Project meeting at The Common Man in Portsmouth:
It was a treat to be part of the New Hampshire Writers Project Monday night and to have a chance to discuss the publishing industry with so many talented individuals. A special thanks to John Herman for welcoming me to the group!
We convened at The Common Man on State Street in downtown Portsmouth. Sharing drinks and a meal, we discussed a broad range of literary topics. The group was dynamic and curious and the conversation memorable. In the fun, relaxed atmosphere I enjoyed fielding a few key questions about Inkubate.
John asked what we believe will be the greatest advantage for publishers and agents. I pointed to Inkubate's efficiencies and what we believe will be considerable savings for the industry. With less money spent on "Discovery," we hope that publishers and agents will seize the opportunity to invest more time and energy cultivating aspiring writers, strategically marketing their work and delivering new books to market faster. We believe that this will be an important competitive edge for an industry in transition.
When asked why the group would want to be early adopters of Inkubate, my answer was easy: Writers are key to preserving the competitive forces that support a vibrant publishing environment. While BETA testing the publisher and agent Discovery tools, we expect our partners will be carefully exploring our content so that they can provide us with meaningful feedback. So, this will, undoubtedly, be a great opportunity to be seen and reviewed in detail by a publisher and/or agent before the community of Inkubate writers and artists grows significantly larger.
We're excited to see that Foster's Daily Democrat featured Inkubate today in their Business section: http://tinyurl.com/4yeez2p. Please share this link with your writing and publishing colleagues and feel free to contact me with your questions.
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to next month's meeting. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Alexa Chung for Madewell: The Complete Collection
Alexa Chung's latest Madewell collection might not hit stores until September 22, but our friends at Fashionista got an exclusive sneak peek at the look book, styled by—you guessed it!—Alexa Chung. Lucky's very own Alison Syrett already has her eye on the leopard print booties and I'm guessing Ray Siegel will be all over those palm tree pajama pants.
I'll probably go for the sheer palm tree top, the red dress, the knit palm tree dress, the plaid cardigan and the pink jeans. Okay, so I'm planning on maxing out my credit card to buy the majority of this collection. But who can blame me? Like Alexa Chung, the person, the whole package is pretty damn perfect.
Click through the gallery below to see the entire collection. And go to Fashionista for more deets on Alexa.

Pundits said President Barack Obama needed to lay out his vision for the next four years during Thursday's convention speech.
Laurinburg's Joy Ellison said the president accomplished that and more.
Ellison, a delegate at this year's Democratic Convention in Charlotte, watched with thousands of cheering delegates as the incumbent president addressed those in the Time Warner Cable Arena and beyond.
"I won't pretend the path I'm offering is quick or easy," Obama told the crowd. "I never have. You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth. And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades."
The president, who faces former Gov. Mitt Romney in the fall, asked his audience to rally around a set of goals on manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the deficit.
He called it a "real, achievable plan that will create jobs, expand opportunity, and ensure an economy built to last." Specific goals include creating one million new manufacturing jobs by the end of 2016, doubling exports by the end of 2014 and reducing the federal deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade. The president said his administration would also halve net oil imports by 2020, cut the growth of college tuition in half over the next decade and train two million workers for jobs.
"Our problems can be solved. Our challenges can be met," Obama said. "The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future."
Before the speech, Ellison, an educator working in Maxton, said she knew the president would excite and inspire Party faithful and voters alike.
"I expected him to make a fine case for re-election," said Ellison, a former county Democratic Party chairman. "He highlighted his accomplishments and asked the public to make an intelligent and informed decision."
Ellison was also wowed by former President Bill Clinton's address to delegates on Wednesday. The 42 president provided a full-throated — and at times folksy — defense of Obama's presidency.
"Bill Clinton brought the house down,"Ellison said. "He was explicit in his message and spoke in terms that most everyone could understand."
The only real hiccup at this year's convention was a decision to move the president's speech from a 73,000-seat football stadium back to the Time Warner Cable Arena. Convention organizers made the venue change because of the threat of a thunderstorm. Republicans say the move was based on a lack of enthusiasm for Obama and some ticket holders for the event have grumbled.
But Ellison described the convention as mainly seamless. An attendee in Charlotte since Sunday, Ellison said she has been pleased with how the event was organized. It is the first nominating convention of a major party ever held in North Carolina.
"Charlotte has been an excellent host," she said. "It was organized and very secure."
Ellison said the only drawback was that there was very little personal time.
"Delegates were shuttled between the delegate hotel and the convention hall," she said. "Our schedule was very tight and there was little time for exploring especially if you took advantage of all the caucus meetings and panel discussions."
Ellison, a former Laurinburg city councilwoman, is one of 157 delegates from North Carolina. She was elected last year to represent Scotland as well as Richmond, Hoke, Anson, Union Stanley and parts of Cumberland and Mecklenburg counties.
"I'm so excited to be representing North Carolina," she said earlier in the week. "I brought plenty of tissue because I planned to do my fair share of crying. I still have not wrapped my head around this opportunity."

The Ranger is an Advanced Vocation in Dragon's Dogma. It costs 1,000 Discipline Points (DP) to switch to this vocation.
Contents |
No class is deadlier from afar than the Ranger. Equipped with a massive longbow, Rangers deliver punishing arrows from a distance, taking out enemies before they're able to come near. And thanks to their dual daggers, Rangers also make capable opponents up close.
Primary Weapon: Daggers
Secondary Weapon: Longbow
Primary Offensive stat: Strength
Strengths and RoleEdit
Expert Marksman: Rangers are the only class able to equip longbows, which allows them to do massive amounts of damage from long distance. They can target and attack multiple enemies at once, deal heavy damage to a single opponent, or cover a wide area in an impressive volley of arrows -- all from a safe distance.
Massive Range: The skill Meteor/Comet Shot allows Ranger to act as a "sniper," killing enemies over great distances before they even know what hit them.
Selection of Arrows: Rangers can unlock several different skills that allow them to hinder, wound, or otherwise incapacitate enemies. Coupled with various types of equipable arrows (oil, poison, blast, sleeper) the ranger has a wide variety of attacks to fit each battle.
Deadly Accuracy: The Ranger's arrows are the most accurate of all long-range options, especially over medium to long distances. Some of the Ranger's skills allow it to target a creature's weak spot and fire up to ten well placed arrows at once, or fire one massively powerful shot. Rangers can also fire a wide spread of arrows, ensuring at least some will strike the target.
Highest Stamina Growth: Rangers have the highest stamina growth of all vocations, allowing the ability to run longer, cling to foes longer and use more skills.
Weak Melee Combatant: The Ranger does not unlock any further dagger skills past the base skills the Strider acquires. When confronted up close, it is often better to retreat to a safe distance and continue to fire arrows, which can be difficult to do in some close quarters dungeons.
Low Defense: The Ranger class has one of the lowest defense ratings in the game (on par with the Strider and Assassin), rendering them very easy to overpower. A Ranger caught unaware can be easily slain by bosses and ranged attackers.
Bow Mobility: In exchange for the power of the longbow, the Ranger has a very slow walking speed while aiming. Additionally, some skills completely restrict movement. This can leave the user open if enemies approach from a blind spot or attack too quickly for you to dodge roll.
High Stamina Usage: Many of the longbow skills, while powerful, require a lot of stamina to use and sustain. Repeated or improper use can very quickly lead to a lack of stamina in heated battles.

- Tenfold Flurry is very effective at taking out any enemy quickly and with little trouble. One well placed burst from Tenfold Flurry into a Cyclops's eye can kill it instantly.
- Meteor/Comet shot is your sniping skill. The execution is quick and the arrow moves incredibly fast. Aim for the head for increased damage.
- Gamble Draw/ Great Gamble is a perfect boss killer move and the slowed down time and arrow curving make for easier aiming and a good photo.
- Instant Reset followed by a dodge roll is useful when you need to get out of a situation much faster than you can sheath your bow then dodge roll. The small stamina is not that big of a price, compared to saving health points.
- Unlike the Striders Mighty Bend, you can not move at all when you are using the Dire Arrow/Deathly Arrow skill. Due to this it helps having a Warrior or Fighter class pawn as an aid to keep monsters and enemies away from you in close quarter fights in caverns and dungeons.
- To get maximum damage output you should be some where in the middle, unlike the strider class if you're too close the shot is weakened. So it's best to go in from afar:
Distance | Damage Output |
0-8 Meters | Moderate |
9-25 Meters | High |
26-33 Meters | Low |
34-90 Meters | Very Low |

I noticed that there is an image of a stylized dollar bill on my profile picture when I go to my ThinkAtheist page. Why does this appear? Just wondering - thanks.
That's strange. There's an embedded photo editor on the site and it has the option to add stickers to your profile photo. Just mouse over the image and you'll see the text pop up allowing you to click and open the editor. Only. I'm not sure that that's one of the available stickers. And I'm not sure how it would have gotten on your profile picture if you didn't do it yourself.
Have you tried removing it and uploading it again?
I'll remove it. Sorry Ed. Just a little glitch in the matrix.
BTW Ed, it was good seeing you at the meet-up. You had some excellent points that would make you tube gold.
Hi Morgan: Thanks for the help. Good to know it wasn't one of my evil-genius IT students leaving an unexpected present. : ) That was an really good meet-up. Robert's place is great, too.

Cavaliers' Casspi has appendix removed
Cavaliers small forward Omri Casspi was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center on Saturday where he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
His appendix was removed, with the surgery being performed by Dr. Michael L. Cheatham. He remained overnight at the Orlando Regional Medical Center and will be re-evaluated on Sunday.
His status will be updated as appropriate. Obviously, he won't play in any of the three games on this trip.
The 6-foot-9, 225-pounder has fallen out of Coach Byron Scott's rotation and will be a free agent at the end of the season. He's averaging 4.0 points and 2.2 rebounds in 29 games.

Zoho Reports brought in some new features in its latest update.
Enhanced Look & Feel of Charts
The default chart background color has been changed from grey to white, to give the chart a lighter look and feel. The fonts and styles of the charts have all been made more consistent. The tooltip now sports a new presentation style, and the tooltip border reflects the same background color as the corresponding bar/line/point.
New Import Option
Before this update, Zoho Reports supported 3 import options – 1) append new records to the end of a table, 2) delete all records and add all records afresh, and 3) add new records and update existing records. Now, there is a fourth option, which allows you to delete those records in Zoho Reports which aren't there in the incoming import file. This option is most useful when relationships are defined between tables, and you want to delete specific records.…

Mommy Hot Spots: Where Do You Like to Play?
- please wait for it to load, it's HD video.
I've skied many mountains in my life time and have come to adopt Deer Valley as my snowy home away from home. I don't get to visit as much as I'd like but the terrain, atmosphere and hospitality is outstanding. During our stay we also got to interview Krista Parry, the founder SnowMamas.com – a resource website for snow bound skiing moms and their kids.
It was my delight and pleasure to bring my little sister with me to shoot my shows because last year she was recovering from breast cancer. Our segment is called, "Mommy Hot Spots: Where Do You Like to Play?" We've been skiing together ever since we were teens and this trip was so special because she was healthy enough toget on mountain and take an amazing ski lesson with me. Elyse was a our ski instructor from Deer Valley Resort. We learned a lot, despite the fact that Elyse told me to ski around the moguls not to jump them. I was trying to show off for my sissy, but ended up humbled and a much more smooth skier! Thanks Elyse for the tips.

ChromaLusion Closeup
If you open the hi-resolution version of this shot, you'll see some of what makes Falcon Northwest's "standard" paintwork far and above the rest. This shot shows the extreme color shift of this $350 per pint paint, created just by the angle of light. You can see the heavy metallic flake - a rich detail you'll miss in inferior paintwork when you see it up close. And of course that incredible shine - only achieveable with many layers of clearcoat.

15. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
Every time I watched him drive he was starting some crap with someone. he was a true pain in everyones ass, And every one is just being nice because he died. Dale Earnhardt was a prick.
1. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
The greatest NASCAR driver of all time. Who died doing what he loved to do. A competor on the track, and a father, husband, friend off the track. an actual athlete (unlike what some other people say) see NASCAR Driver 7-Time NASCAR WINSTON CUP CHAMPION
2. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
Whena man is performing anal sex on a girl, and slams her face into a wall. "Dude, I totally Dale Earnhardted that bitch!"
3. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
Our redneck savior. He crashed for our sins, and on the third lap, he rose again, and ascended into heaven, where he rideth shotgun for our Lord, the Almighty God. In Dale Earnhardt's name, we pray. Ay-men.
4. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
the gretest, most talanted driver ever to get behind the wheel of a car in the history of cars and racing. Drove the black number 3 Goodwrench Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. Known as "The Intimidator" for his agressive apperance and driving style. One of only 2 NASCAR drivers in history to win 7 NASCAR winston/nextel cup championships, the other being Richard Petty. Dale was the definitive american badass. In February 2001, his life was tragically ended early by a fatal crash on the last lap of the Daytona 500. All you fuckers writing disrespectful definitions about Dale Earnhardt should get a fucking life. You wont ever be as sucessful in anything as Earnhardt was at everything in life.
5. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
The greatest NASCAR driver!! I agree that the people are idiots who put disrespectful defenitions here. Even if you didnt like him, or didnt like NASCAR, at least respect his death. Dale Earnhardt was the best NASCAR driver, and should be respected!!
6. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
Dale Earnhardt is the king of NASCAR! A legend, whether living or dead! The only driver who comes close to his potential as a NASCAR driver is his son Dale Jr.! And to all of you who feel that you have to insult him clearly are doing it because you wish that people would laugh at your definitions and respect you... But wait! No one's laughing but you! Interesting huh? Show respect for the Hero, The Intimidator! Now immortalized because of his tragic death! He has inspired millions! He lives on through all those who wish to continue his legacy, and especially his son, Dale Jr.! Dale Earnhardt, father, intimidator, driver, friend.
We remember you Dale E.! |
7. | Dale Earnhardt | ||
The best out there!! We love you Dale! The best out there!!

rooemoore says Ah, that's why I have Cloud on ignore. He's such a disingenuous ass. Yeah, I like Bill Maher because he thinks all women are cunts just like I think all Catholic women are sluts. What bullshit. Bill Maher made a joke once and to claim that he's a misogynist because of that is complete bullshit, just like it's bullshit to have a fake outrage boner over one joke I told in passing several months ago. Oh, and both jokes were funny, so fuck off Cloud. Still, all this anal leakage that comes from Cloud when people quote him compels me to point out to indisputable facts. 1. Women like Bill Maher. Half his audience are women and they cheer him all the time. 2. Bill Maher used the word cunt in a joke, but he doesn't support forcing women to have a probe shoved up their cunts literally like Republican scumbags like Cloud do. Republicans supported by assholes like Cloud have passed laws requiring a non-medical procedure involving forcing a wand literally inside a women's vagina before she can get an abortion. It has no medical purpose and is being forced on women solely to shame them and humiliate them to the point where they won't get an abortion. Now that's fucking misogynistic. And that's why people like Cloud keep accusing their opponents of being woman haters, because they need to distract people from the real woman haters who are raging the real war on women. |

Ok, I did some research and got official figures of federal spending from http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/budget/fy2013/assets/hist.pdf Then I put together a spreadsheet based on the data there that shows the increase in spending by each administration using the same years as the graph from Bill Maher. Hey Patrick, is there a way to upload files other than images? If so, I'd gladly include the Excel spreadsheet so everyone can verify it. Below are the results. They are essentially the same as Maher's graph although his data shows slightly higher spending increases for all presidents. Perhaps his data is including spending that the White House archives ignore. But the bottom line is that Bill Maher is once again correct, and his detractors are wrong. So, can I get an apology from those who accused Maher of spewing misinformation? The data has been confirmed. |

What color is the sky in your world? You haven't made a single coherent argument that the data used on Maher's graph or mine is false. The PDF file is from the White House archives and contains data going back to George Washington. It's obviously put together by a historian, not by Obama or one of his people. You really need to stop smoking the wacky tabacky and get a grip on reality. I have absolutely no pro-Obama agenda as anyone, even an moron, could tell from all my anti-Obama posts. But facts are facts, and I did the research to determine if your allegations were credible or not. It turns out that your allegations had no merit whatsoever. Be a real man and admit your mistake, and all of us will respect you far more than if you double down on stupidity. I could find other sources with the federal spending data, but it is clear that you won't accept any facts that don't support your distorted view of reality. And quite frankly, I cannot respect that.

Affirmative action is not socialism. And Obama hardly started affirmative action. Does Bush even know when D-Day is? Hell, his father didn't even know when Pearl Harbor happened. I don't like Obama. And I freakin' hate when I have to defend him because right-wing nutjobs makes up some complete bullshit about him. There's plenty of good reasons to hate Obama, but you right-wingers aren't touching any of them because they also apply to Bush, Romney, and all the other Republican cronies. It seems that the only reasons the right wing hates Obama is that he's black and he's a Democrat. I have yet to hear one single true criticism of Obama from the right. And I would put Obama on trial for capital crimes if I had the power. So don't give me any bullshit about me being an Obama fan. The difference between me and you right-wingers is that I don't make up shit. I actually listen to facts and rationally judge the situation. But you right-wingers have such a warped sense of reality that it shocks the hell out of normal people -- not liberals, just plain normal people. You know, people who think the Earth revolves around the sun and that 10 is a bigger number than 3. It's ridiculous how little grasp on reality the right has. And it does make you guys look like lunatic when you claim these outrageous and easily disproved things like 1. Obama is a socialist. Here are the facts. 1. Taxes are the lowest they've been in 50 years. 2. Adjusted for inflation, Obama has decreased government spending despite having to pay the bill for G.W. Bush's wars. Bush spent the money and left Obama with the check, but Obama still spent less after adjusting for inflation. 3. Obama, not Bush, killed Osama bin Laden. 4. None of Bush's torturing resulting in the intelligence that led to bin Laden's death. 5. G.W. Bush gave up on even finding bin Laden. And I'll quote Fox News since that's all you right-wingers listen to. 6. Obama has increased the military budget every year. 7. Obama kept Gitmo open and outsourced torture to other countries. 8. Obama doesn't even try to capture terrorists, he just sends drones to kill them even if they are U.S. citizens just suspected of terrorism. I disagree with just about everything Obama has done including killing Osama bin Laden -- I think we should have brought him back to NYC to stand trial in an open court. So it makes sense that I hate Obama, and I used the term hate because of his horrific record on human rights issues. But why the fuck do you right-wingers hate Obama when he is literally implementing every Republican policy short of tearing up the Constitution and establishing a Christian fundamentalist theocracy? The only two things that it could possibly be is that he plays for the other team and he's black. And right-wingers just hate those two things. And that is why I cannot have any respect for right-wingers. If it was just a policy disagreement, I'd be ok with that. If it was just different priorities regarding trade-offs between safety and freedom or economic goals, I'd be cool with that, too. But this sheer hypocrisy is simply intolerable. There aren't two sides to this story. The right is just a bat-shit crazy lunatic fringe. And all the sensible fiscal conservatives, including Bill Maher who used to get so much shit from liberals and still does, have all left the Republican ranks. You see, Bill Maher and I, actually do believe in small government, not a nanny state. Sure, we favor a social safety net, which is by no means the main costs of our government. But we also believe that government that governs least governs best because big government requires big power and big power corrupts. Bill Maher is actually closer to what Republicans used to be pre-Reagan than what today's Republicans are. You don't believe in small government and personal responsibility. You believe in a nanny state that provides cushy tax-payer funded jobs to the defense industry through no-bid contracts to private corporations, as if that makes it less than sucking on the teat of government. You say you want freedom over security in economic issues, so get rid of social security. But you want security over freedom when it comes to air travel, so pull down your pants and bend over? WTF? Isn't a person's right not to be ass raped or photographed naked by the TSA a bit more important than the capital gains tax or banking regulations? There's no rugged individualism in the Republican party today. There's no fiscal responsibility. There's no dignity restored to the White House by George Bush. Republicans suck on starting and running wars. Republicans don't support the troops with real help like sending them body armor or ensuring that when they are wounded they receive proper medical care. Democrats are better on all these issues, and I don't even like the Democrats, but it's the truth. The only principle the Republicans have left is not letting blacks, gays, or atheists hold office. Every other issue on the Republican platform has long been abandoned. And that's why the Republican Party is doomed to die. Because independents like me, who actually hate the Democrats and want a viable alternative, are scared shitless of the lunatic extremists that make up 100% of the Republican Party today. God I hate to see a second term of Obama, but you Republicans are even worse. |

Yeah except you're totally wrong and nothing you've said is even remotely correct in any context. The stimulus was one single bill in nearly 4 years of Obama's presidency. That's $250 billion annualized. What else is there? You can't say because you weren't programmed with that information. Obama was left with a Bush legacy of reckless spending and moronic tax cuts. He attempted to change it, but was blocked by Republicans. The country continues to operate under laws passed by Republicans, under a Republican court, and with Republican wars still being concluded. Blaming Obama is a gross display of massive ignorance. |

Exactly, and we have the raw data to prove it incontrovertibly. And that's what makes the argument so ridiculous. The facts are so easy to verify. It's willful discharging of reality that conflicts with a delusional ideological fantasy. bob2356, are you really that fucking retarded? I quoted the URL for my data, http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/budget/fy2013/assets/hist.pdf and even encouraged people to download the file. I published the spreadsheet I carefully constructed so as to be correct regardless of whatever the results came out to be. The data set I used comes from non-partison historical archives and goes back all the way to George Washington in exquisite detail. bob2356, you are demonstrating right now exactly what Bill Maher means when he says Republicans live in a bubble and no facts can get in that bubble. Always truth first, political and social agendas second. It does not matter the issue. And the fact that you still don't get the joke that the Catholic opposition to legal birth control when 99% of Catholic women use it pretty much illustrates why you're a dumb ass. And given how much you love to dehumanize other people, you're fake outrage boner is clearly a lame attempt to poison the well and everyone knows it. But hey, keep fucking that chicken. A phrase, by the way, that refers to a person who keeps making the same mistake even after it has been shown in detail what mistake he's making and how to correctly perform whatever action, such as making an argument, he's trying to accomplish. Instead of correcting his actions, the person keeps stubbornly making the mistake, i.e., he keeps fucking that chicken. Here's the hierarchy of arguments from respectable to dismissible… And where exactly are you from? I know a guy with a rose garden and a few drones who would be very interested in that, in order to send you a cake. And the cake is delicious and moist. Examples, please? They should be easy to quote since everything on this site is readably accessible to the public. Ah heck, I can't keep up the ruse. I'm really not a person, but rather a collective of scientists performing social experiments on patrick.net users. We've just recently completed the analysis of user Cloud. A.k.a., poisoning the well. And it's so obvious and infantile. Obama's a centralist on social and economic issues, but he's an extreme right on human rights and the use of military. There's nothing moderate about using drones to kill civilians including U.S. citizens. Eisenhower would be rolling over his grave right now. Although I disagree with Obama's economic issues, they are utterly unimportant even during a depression when compare to the human and civil rights issues. The only politicians that are worthy of hatred are the ones who abuse human rights. Even Nixon doesn't warrant hatred despite being the central crook in Watergate. That level of corruption isn't in the same ballpark, hell even the same sport as human rights violations. As such, Obama and Bush are the only presidents that actually merit hate, an emotion whose purpose is to make us reject evil and those who commit horrific acts. More bubble talk. It was the Republicans who came up with the idea of the individual mandate and demanded it during the Hilarycare days. But hey, easy solution. Let's get rid of the individual mandate and keep the rest of Obamacare. Still, this goes to show that no matter what Republican policy Obama adopts, the right-wing nutjobs will immediately start hating that policy because it's now infected with black cooties. If Obama came out with eliminating the capital gains tax, the Republicans would call it socialism. |

Thank you for at least coming back with the right approach to debating this issue. At least now we can have an intelligent discussion of this issue. But first, I am stating on the record that as someone who clearly does not and has never supported Obama -- hell, I'm his biggest detractor on this site and that's including all the right-wing lies that other people have spread. As I clearly am not pro-Obama, I have absolutely no political motivation to make him look good. If anything, one would expect me to want him to look bad on this issue, particularly since I also completely disagree with the way he handled the depression. That said, the crux of the argument that the Haver data behind the Maher chart is incorrect is OK, fair enough. Let's go with that now for the sake of argument -- it would be nice if someone could confirm that. But what does that change? $150 billion in spending cuts when the spending is $3.8 trillion is only 3.9%. So, add that to Obama's 1.4% and you get 5.3%. By that math, Obama is still spending less than Republican president up to and including Reagan. Only during Reagan's second term did he spend less, but Reagan still spent way more overall. So even accepting the proposed adjusted to the Haver data, Obama still comes out as a sprendthrift and the only massive spending he did (3.9% / 5.3%) or 66% of his spending increase was to stimulate the economy which is something that every politician Democrat or Republican (including Bush II) was for. And why, because everyone in Washington is a Keynesian who believes that aggregate demand is the cure-all for all depressions. Republican and Democrats do not differ on Keynesian economics. However, I cannot wholeheartedly accept the assertion that Obama increased spending by 5.3% based solely on the assertion of an associated press article that doesn't include the actual evidence. Normally, I'd give the press some benefit of a doubt, but I have the evidence. I've linked to it. The archive data I've linked to shows in detail both the revenue and the outlays of the federal government including the totals, the budgeted, and the non-budgeted. It also includes detailed analysis of the data. The data I've gotten from government historians does not count the payback as decrease spending but as revenue. I don't know off the top of my head if it was budgeted or non-budgeted. And my graph is based on that data. My graph shows Obama -- and to be fair, all presidents -- as spending less than on Maher's graph. However, the relative size of the bars are the same. Obama hasn't spent as much as Bush despite having to continue to pay for wars that Bush started, which quite frankly are what is responsible for the vast majority of the spending increases. Those wars -- note the plural -- are damn expensive. The worse case you can make against Obama is that he didn't cut-and-run, but that's exactly what the Republicans universally said America shouldn't do. Now I disagree with those wars and never supported them. I only supported strategic strikes to take out Al Qaeda, which was accomplished quickly and inexpensively. But the red states universally supported the wars and wanted them expanded through various surges. Well surges of troops and equipment means surges of spending. War is expensive and provides zero returns (since you can't pillage and enslave anymore, well, at least not enslave). As such, I don't seen any evidence that Obama is the biggest promoter of spending in all history. The only straw you can possible grasp at is that Obama is the most recent president and since federal spending has been going up crazy since Reagan, inertia is going to force later presidents to spend more than previous ones. The next administration, Republican or Democrat, is almost certainly going to spend more than this one. And the administration after that, Republican or Democrat, is almost certainly going to spend more that that one. Before you can decrease spending, you have to zero-out the differential, the growth in spending. It's like driving a car. You start at 40 mph and keep accelerating to 60 mph. Before you can bring the car to a stop, you have to first stop accelerating, and then decelerate. And finally, I've been complaining about the national debt since 1984 when Reagan was running for his second term after massively increasing the debt. I find it very suspicious that all of a sudden the right is concerned about a debt when it didn't mean anything when Bush II was running it up. I also find it very suspicious that the right opposes military spending, which accounts for 24% of federal spending and 54% of the income tax. http://www.warresisters.org/pages/piechart.htm So, if you are truly for greatly reducing federal spending, which I am, based on the first chart above, the places you need to cut in order are: defense, health care, government pensions, and too some degree welfare. But the big three are about the same size and almost twice what we spend on welfare. And the thing about defense -- and I use that term very loosely because it's not really defense -- is that we could cut it by 80% and still be spending as much as the next highest spending country, China, which has a population 1.3 trillion or about 4.43 times as many people as the U.S. We would have to cut defense by 95.5% to spend as much per capita as the second highest spending country. But let's just cut it by 80%, and we'll still be spending over 4 times as much per capita as China, and our military is still way ahead of theirs anyway. By the way, if you think China is a threat that demands military spending, then maybe we shouldn't be trading so heavily with them. Just saying. To conclude, Obama is not the big spender. In fact Democrats aren't big spenders. The facts clearly show that Republicans way out-spend Democrats. It's just that Republicans put us in debt for that spending instead of taxing for it, which quite frankly is worse. And Republicans are all for spending on the wrong things, things that destroy wealth like war instead of creating wealth like building infrastructure. Put simply, Republicans aren't fiscally responsible. The facts don't support that claim. And this is coming from someone who paid his own way through college working, and has been debt free since paying off his college/car loans within four months of graduating. I know fiscally responsibility. |

I stand corrected. Thanks. It would be nice to see a breakdown of the spending increases. For Bush, it was probably mostly the wars, medicare drug spending, and fiscal stimulus. For Obama, I don't know. I guess they figure that the first year in office, the gov't follows the previous presidents budget? I don't know how that is done. Your main point that repubs increased spending way more than dems over the last 30 yrs seems pretty well proven. That is really too bad, because I'd rather spend money on dem programs than repub ones. |

Wow! Imagine that! One political party lies about the other. The only significant action Obama has taken to the advantage of US citizens is to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Gosh, that was SO politically risky, right? Everything else is very nearly the same as would have been done by a Republican. Medical system reform that is just the opposite. Financial sector reform that ISN'T. And Maher said that we've lost no rights? He hasn't been paying enough attention or is being very selectively attentive as there have been all sorts of draconian, Constitution violating laws passed. And just as any Republican president would have allowed, we have now established a huge, police state infrastructure from post 9/11 terrorism fear mongering. Obama is just as bought and paid for by moneyed special interests as any Republican. And the Supreme Court has now approved full control of our brain-dead political ads by multi-national corporations and the wealthy. Finally, he has allowed this economic path to be taken, just as would any Republican - bail out the banksters who made huge, bad bets and transfer as much money as possible to them before we hit the exponential debt increase wall again, next time far more catastrophically: http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=206992 Excerpt: The issue before us is simply whether those who intentionally made bad loans and bad bets will be forced to eat them through removing the intentional excess liquidity (which is stealing your wealth and income every single day) or whether you will be forced to cover them as well as suffering the inevitable consequences of the [inevitable, mathematically dictated] contraction. Approximately $3,000 has been stolen every year for the last four years from every man, woman and child in this country through intentional deficit spending and debasement for the benefit of these banksters, yet the economy has not recovered. We cannot recover that which was stolen but we must stop the stealing now as this theft has and continues to damage the common American every single day it continues. |

Dan - the other problem is that Obama took the monumental stimulus spending in 2009 (proposed by both parties) and used it as the new BASELINE spending benchmark. The stimulus spending in 2009 was supposed to be a one time shot in the arm to "stimulate". Not the new rate of spending going forward for 4+ years. This is why Nutting and Democrats are using "rate of spending increase" in their analysis to make Obama look better since he is only raising spending about 3% each year on top of the massive spending increase of 2009. |

You mean you are starting a second account first claiming to not be "Cloud", but a friend of "Cloud". Then after a while changing the name on the account and claiming to have no knowledge whatsoever of "Cloud"? |

Who cares about the rate of spending increase, the only number that matters is the spending relative to the economy. As a percentage of gdp federal expenditures have been decreasing since 2009 from 25.5% to 24%. So Obama's increases have been less than the increase in growth. For reference W increased from 18% to 20% his first three years, Clinton decreased from 22% to 20% his first 3 years, Bush I increased from 21% to 22% his first 3 years, Reagan increased from 20% to 24% his first 3 years. Those goddam commie democratic presidents are spending like drunken sailors again. Anyone can see that (at least anyone that listens to faux news all day). Why is it Obama's fault the Bush spiked the budget his last year anyway? |
