Thoughts & Commentary on the Obama Administration

[Lemur]

I wasn't aware of any evil you wouldn't impute to our President. He's not the antichrist? News to me.

Here's a person who was once considered a "conservative" (ever-shrinking circle, that) on mustardgate:

MUSTARD-GATE

What kind of a man eats his hamburger without ketchup? That was the big question yesterday on talk radio, after President Obama visited an Arlington, Virginia, hamburger place on Tuesday and ordered his burger with spicy mustard.

First answer: Texans.

Texans traditionally eat hamburgers with mustard or with mayonnaise (or with both), but without ketchup. This is simply called a “hamburger” in Texas, but is sometimes called a “Cowboy Burger” or a “Texas Burger” outside of Texas.

A hamburger with ketchup is sometimes called a “Yankee Burger.” A hamburger with mayonnaise is sometimes called a “Sissy Burger.”

Dirty Martin’s (in Austin since 1926) serves hamburgers with mustard, pickles, onions, and tomatoes, but it is not known when this combination began. The popular Texas “Whataburger” hamburger chain has served hamburgers with mustard from its founding (1950). The hamburger-with-mustard combination in Texas is attested at least from the 1950s, but the pre-1950s hamburger condiments cannot be firmly established.

Second answer: Republicans. A 2000 survey of members of Congress by the National Hot Dog Council found that 73% of Republican lawmakers preferred mustard to ketchup, as opposed to 47% of Democratic lawmakers.

Final answer: traditionalists. Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut, the restaurant widely believed to have served the first hamburgers ever made in the United States, absolutely forbids ketchup.

Next question?

lol, calling Obama the antichrist would attribute things to him other than what he does. I judge people solely by what they do. Also, by calling someone a supernatural being such as the 'anti-Christ', you are taking away their individual blame as a person that everyone has for the wrong they have done. I can tell you honestly Lemur, that I base my opinion of Obama solely on what he has said and done and the people he associates with - ei, his own actions. I neither attribute things to him that are not his, nor try to make more of him than he is. He is not the anti-Christ, he is Obama. Anything he does, good or bad is not the work of the 'anti-Christ', but of Obama. Any glory or blame for his actions is his entirely, and I have never and never will judge him on anything but his actions.
