Abraham Lincoln said, " America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." These facts illustrate this observation, but hopefully with awareness, we can work on bettering the country for a more positive, cohesive future.

That is not bizarre, but this is a sorry situation: Kenyans are unable to provide themselves with even 1/32 of what Americans provide themselves with.

Obviously they forgot to count one Kenyan who would even out the statistics...

When you may be held to a legal standard you should be prepared to use legal language.

You might speak of platform 7 1/2 at Kings Cross station as well and everyone knows what you are talking about but that does not mean there is a platform 7 1/2.

Crossing the line between fiction and reality will get you a diet of mind altering drugs or a rubber lined room (or both)

The Stile of this Confederacy shall be "The United States of America".

Borrowing a quote from your Commie leader Putin?

Proverbs 26:4-5King James Version (KJV)
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

The phrase “according to his folly” in verse 5, on the other hand, tells us that there are times when a fool has to be addressed so that his foolishness will not go unchallenged. In this sense answering him according to his folly means to expose the foolishness of his words, rebuking him on the basis of his folly so he will see the idiocy of his words and reasoning. Our “answer” in this case is to be one of reproof, showing him the truth so he might see the foolishness of his words in the light of reason. Even though he will most likely despise and reject the wisdom offered to him, we are to make the attempt, both for the sake of the truth which is always to be declared, and for the sake of those listening, that they may see the difference between wisdom and folly and be instructed.

Whether we use the principle of verse 4 and deal with a fool by ignoring him, or obey verse 5 and reprove a fool depends on the situation. In matters of insignificance, it’s probably better to disregard him. In more important areas, such as when a fool denies the existence of God (Psalm 14:1), verse 5 tells us to respond to his foolishness with words of rebuke and instruction. To let a fool speak his nonsense without reproof encourages him to remain wise in his own eyes and possibly gives credibility to his folly in the eyes of others.

“What’s it like playing chess with Obama?” asks a top aid of Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Putin replies, “It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. First it knocks over all the pieces, then it shits on the board, and finally it struts around like it won.”

I don't suppose you have any biblical quotes about discussions with liars?

Apparently you don't read the bible to understand your Creator. Your very existence depends on that relationship.
