BUt---
here's another problem area in the text (in bold);
Now this was not to be written into law as a regulation of course, being more laudatory in nature, yet still, if one aims to have such entered into the record of a legislative body --- we'd hope they would put more effort into proofreading than someone such as myself might do while "freeping."
Another thing that we'd being hearing lots and lots about, though a small stretch perhaps, but one that would be made if laurels were being handed out to say, The First Baptist Catholic Church (ok-ok, no such entity, hehheh so sue me), would be be shrill cries about "separation of Church & State!".
But what do we get?
Re Post #31: These qualifications are exactly why Obama is the Democratic Party’s nominee for president.
Any other questions?
Except of book, which I could not cut and paste, the NOI had turned from helping blacks to turning them into racists.
I will not denigrate simply for his choice of Islam decades ago.
What the young are getting taught today I would not trust.
That would have been priceless. Our people need to talk to Sarah's people and get her signed up for FR. For the time being I nominate her as an honorary FReeper.
BTTT
Hey, I went in and looked at bills he had sponsored. This is REALLY weird. He was chief sponsor on about 120 or so bills. He had about 20 pass. NONE OF THOSE INTRODUCED IN 2005 were passed.
STRANGE.
THe website said he was the Primary Sponsor on those bills.
Ok, thanks
