Far-left extremists have likened the president to the Taliban.

Naturally. They prefer that America be lead by someone who follows his Id and leads with his genitalia.

Nufsed.

Domestically the president's evangelicalism is barely beneath the surface. He's expanded funding for volunteerism with Freedom Corps and, with his Faith Based Initiative, is fighting to allow religious groups to get more federal money without compromising their faith.

Taking money from producers under threat of arrest, better known as taxes, and giving it to paid volunteers, and religious groups is not evangelicalism, it is SOCIALISM

Why and how did this man ever get an MBA from Harvard? Surely the curriculum has not deteriorated this much. There is no excuse, even in Evangelism, to be this ignorant of financial issues.

He got the quote wrong about when Bush talked about Jesus.

The question was asked: who is your favorite prophet.

Bush: Jesus Christ ... because he changed my life!
