    That's the blindness of the you people, BYH. If a person has erred, he's not worthy. Your words. Not what the Bible says.

    Thanks again Buck-o, for proving my point.

    You people won't run it because of your bias. Pure and simple.

    He's not worthy of mentioning because anyone who thinks he lives his life in a God-fearing, religious manner is smoking some of Mike's personal stash.

    You, of course, can't see that, because you're convinced the mainstream media has told America religion is bad...the same America that has elected George W. Bush twice.

    If you can't figure out who "you types" are, then I won't waste my time explaining it.

    Maybe you weren't in Canton. But was your delete button active on the Irvin copy?

    And given the chance, you would have written with your bias.

    The same America that will elect a Tom Tancredo before they'll elect a Che Clinton.

    America won't elect a female president because too much of Middle America is scared by a woman in power and instead wants her to stay in the kitchen and birth them babies and cook that food and do what the man tells her to do.

    Sound familiar, yawn?

    They won't elect a woman like Hillary Clinton.

    Sorry, I got that. You can have the giraffe. Longer neck means a few extra bites.

    I've managed to avoid you for quite some time now, but Yawn, you have a real point here, and you guarantee that nobody will hear it by following it up with all of this garbage.

    Yawn, how would you feel if he'd said this instead?

    "The Koran speaks of a healing place," Irvin told the hushed stadium, where even the other Hall of Famers stopped their needling to listen. "It's called the threshing floor. It's where you take your greatest fear and pray for help from your great Allah.

    "When I am on that threshing floor, I pray, I say, 'Allah, I have my struggles, and I made some bad decisions, but whatever you do, whatever you do, don't let me mess this up' I say, 'Please, help me raise them, for some young lady, so they can be a better husband than I. Help me raise them for their kids, so they can be a better father than I.' And I tell you guys to always do the right thing, so you can be a better role model than daddy."


    or

    "The Pentateuch speaks of a healing place," Irvin told the hushed stadium, where even the other Hall of Famers stopped their needling to listen. "It's called the threshing floor. It's where you take your greatest fear and pray for help from your great Yahweh.

    "When I am on that threshing floor, I pray, I say, 'Yahweh, I have my struggles, and I made some bad decisions, but whatever you do, whatever you do, don't let me mess this up' I say, 'Please, help me raise them, for some young lady, so they can be a better husband than I. Help me raise them for their kids, so they can be a better father than I.' And I tell you guys to always do the right thing, so you can be a better role model than daddy."


    or

    "The Bhagavad Gita speaks of a healing place," Irvin told the hushed stadium, where even the other Hall of Famers stopped their needling to listen. "It's called the threshing floor. It's where you take your greatest fear and pray for help from your great Vishnu.

    "When I am on that threshing floor, I pray, I say, 'Vishnu, I have my struggles, and I made some bad decisions, but whatever you do, whatever you do, don't let me mess this up' I say, 'Please, help me raise them, for some young lady, so they can be a better husband than I. Help me raise them for their kids, so they can be a better father than I.' And I tell you guys to always do the right thing, so you can be a better role model than daddy."
