Is Obama a Socialist?

[Thorne]

Wikipedia says:

The Ten Commandments, or Decalogue, is a list of religious and moral imperatives that, according to the Hebrew Bible, were spoken by God (referred to in several names) to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai or Horeb, and later authored by God and given to Moses in the form of two stone tablets.

Now, Thorne, prove your assertion that they are not divine in origin

I think I'll move this portion to the Religion forum, where it is more appropriate.

If you regard George Washington and the Virginia Militia a rag-tag bunch of rebels, yes.

I'm quite sure the British generals regarded them as such.

No, always. Just because you escape justice doesn't make you innocent

Whose justice?

I have absolutely no idea, but apparently that nice Mr Obama thinks so. I'm just saying that the Constitution is obviously not perfect, because it is an eighteenth century historical document, it is man-made, and it had already had to be amended.

I never claimed it was perfect, and it may even have flaws in it. But fundamentally flawed? That implies he would like to toss it out completely.

Maybe he would, but I doubt it. I didn't choose those words, and I don't know what caused him to use them.

However, he'll need a Constitution to validate whatever new laws he wants to introduce.

Unless he's planning on setting up a dictatorship. (And no, I don't for one second believe that.)
