I wonder if he is going to inhale at the "joint" session of Congress?
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

The internet said he was going to sprout horns and start talking in demonic tongues while the UN took over the country through Jade Helm. Anything short of that is going to be a bit disappointing as that's a lot of hype and build-up.
Seriously though, I do wonder if Catholicism is set for another split. I'll be curious to see how many people rally behind a more fundamental viewpoint of the religion. Seems like people are mostly happy with a softening of their church.

it's not a matter of being hip, it's a matter of being relevant.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Yup, exactly. How dare he talk about helping the poor, taking care of the sick... how these are moral imperatives. And how we, as a society, are not served when the only thing we care about is money (idolatry).
You know, like Jesus said. You know what's funny? People want to talk the Jesus talk but they certainly don't want to listen to it.
