I think the joke about stealing a bicycle and asking for forgiveness was by Emo Philips.

He also wrote a joke considered the best religious joke in the world (can't remember by who) that has probably been sifted.

I love the sentiment, but feel this is a little revisionist. The GIs in WWII fought for alot of things but, unfortunately, equality for gays and lesbians and for minorities were not among them.


THIS GI certainly DID fight for equality.

Surely it is sensible to qualify your "statement" with that?

>> ^honkeytonk73:
I agree with everything he says.. except for.. "equal rights is what this country was started for..".
The USA was not started for 'equal rights'


Equal rights among citizens.

It's not about being sensitive. Normally I don't care so much about this sort of thing, but it's getting annoying how much people manipulate titles to try to pull in views. Whether she's cute or not; and I happen to think she's a bit ugly; has nothing to do with this video. This is a talented duo performing a song. The video ought to be able to stand on that.


if people base video popularity merely on the video's title, why is "Philip: 86 year old Rep and WW II vet speaks about equality" at #3... ?

^Opus, I apologize! I did not mean to downvote your comment at all. I was actually downvoting the quoted part of it before I realized that you were addressing it, and for that I should have upvoted because I agree with your sentiment. Very very sorry!

Always take the time to investigate sources.

"The Acton Institute is an ecumenical think-tank dedicated to the study of free-market economics informed by religious faith and moral absolutes."
Who funded the Acton Institute?
The Bradley Foundation: $225,000 (laissez-faire capitalist organization)
Philip Morris: $10,000
ExxonMobil: $30,000

No thank you Acton Institute. You're assertions are rejected. Not because your points are short sighted, naive and laughable and you show an obvious agenda towards promoting corporate power through manipulation of religion...no wait, that is the reason.

while i agree knowing and vetting a source is valuable. information should not be dismissed out of hand based soley on that factor.
is it your contention that what america has now is a free market?
that what has transpired in the past few years could not remotely be considered a flirtation with plutocracy?
while i am not a purest when it comes to capiltalism,what we have now has become an abomination.

Fuck that... I say the burden of proof rests on you, QM. Obama is already President, and I don't think that there's much that can bed done to reverse his (landslide) win. Have at 'er.

>> ^quantumushroom:
A "birther" is someone who believes that Obama was not born in the United States. They reason that since he is not a "natural" citizen, he cannot be legally president.
Belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen stem from FACTS:
Obama has never been able (or willing) to produce a valid United States birth certificate.
The Hawaiian "Certification of Live Birth" is NOT a birth certificate.
No Hawaiian doctor has stepped forward to claim he witnessed the birth.
"Obama’s grandmother on his father’s side, his half-brother and half-sister all claim Obama was born not in Hawaii but in Kenya.
"Upon investigation into the alleged birth of Obama in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama’s birth is reported as occurring at two (2) separate hospitals, Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital. Wikipedia English Version, under the subject “Barack Obama,” states Obama was born at Kapiolani Hospital. Wikipedia Italian Version, under the subject “Queens Hospital,” states Barack Obama was born in Queens Hospital."
Here's the wikipedia summary of Philip J. Berg, a Democrat who filed the lawsuit challenging Obama's qualifications to be President.
(Berg)...is a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, and an activist attorney who brought a RICO lawsuit charging president George W. Bush and 154 others with complicity in the 9/11 attacks, and another suit challenging the eligibility of Barack Obama to become President of the United States.
The burden of proof in this matter is on Team Obama.
