Which D&D character am I?

I'm happy with the results:

I Am A: Lawful Good Human Cleric (5th Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-15

Dexterity-12

Constitution-15

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-17

Charisma-11


Alignment:
Lawful Good A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment because it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armor and shields without penalty, since armor does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Barack Obama: The Most Unqualified Major Party Nominee Ever?

Yes.

But we are told to vote for him because of judgment, not experience. Yet on the most important issue of the last four years, the surge in Iraq, he was wrong. He still wants a timetable for troop withdrawal even after--finally--acknowledging the success of the surge. When asked challenging questions by Katie Couric of CBS and, later, by Terry Moran of ABC's Nightline, Obama stuttered and sputtered and was very inarticulate in his explanation (when not reading from a teleprompter Obama can barely spit out a coherent sentence on policy issues). After multiple times listening to him explain his position, I still can't figure out what the Hell he's talking about. The man is not qualified to run the corner drugstore much less the presidency.

John McCain, in contradistinction, advocated the surge years before it was implemented. John McCain was right on the most important issue facing the U.S.'s war on Islamonazism. McCain has excellent judgment.

So who do you think is more qualified to be president. Is this a question? There really is no question, is there?

Don't lie to me!

According to this little quiz, I can spot a liar pretty well:





You Can Definitely Spot a Liar



Maybe you have good instincts. Or maybe you just have a lot of experience with liars.

Either way, it's pretty hard for someone to pull a fast one on you. You're like a human lie detector.

What kind of nerd am I?

Well, according to a test I just took, this kind of nerd:


NerdTests.com says I'm an Uber Cool Nerd King.  What are you?  Click here!

While it sounds like the creator(s) of this test don't no the difference between a nerd and a geek (what the hell?), it's the first time in my life I've been described as uber or cool or king. I'll take it.

But really kids, one does need to know the difference between nerds and geeks.

Iron shapes iron.

There is a Hebrew proverb which states "Iron shapes iron, friend shapes friend."

So, yes, it matters with whom one chooses to associate with especially as friends. It matters, Senator Obama, stop trying to pretend it doesn't.

Left-wing radical bigot Reverend Jeremiah Wright, unapologetic terrorist Bill Aires, convicted developer Tony Rezko. It matters.

If you had fifty friends you could point too and say "Look, these friends of mine are alkl good folks" fine. But so far the three individuals I named are virtually the only friends we know about.

Iron shapes iron.

The end of Saddam's nuclear program.

According to the AP, which isn't exactly friendly to the Bush administration, the last remnants of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program has been removed from Iraq.

The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.
Did you get that? Five-hundred fifty tons of so-called yellowcake. This, of course, is not receiving any coverage by the the vast majority of media outlets. Surprise. Try and point your liberal friends to this article and gage their reaction. Nothing will change. Even in the face of facts, they'll still maintain the stupid mantra of Bush lied about WMD. I've said it before and I'll say it again, truth is not a quality the left values.

I don't know who said it first but liberals, Democrats, and the left don't hate Bush because of the war, they hate the war because of Bush. If Bill Clinton or Al Gore had gotten us into the Iraq war, they would not lose an ounce of support from Democrats. But Bush lied, soldiers died.

It's values that count, not theology.

Republicans criticize Senator Obama for not being open about his Muslim background (yes, Barack Obama has a Muslim background) while Democrats claim that questioning Obama is dirty because Obama has no Muslim background.

While there is some legitimacy to ask why Obama will not be open about his Muslim past, it's a bit silly for Democrats to deny that Obama doesn't have one.

To be clear, Barack Obama is a Christian who, when he was a child, was considered by some to be a Muslim because his father was somewhat Muslim (Obama's father was not a practicing Muslim for most of his adult life).

My position? It doesn't matter if Barack Obama is a Muslim (he's not) or a Christian (which he is) or Hindu or Buddhist or Jewish or whatever. I, frankly, don't care what religion a candidate belongs to. What matters to me is which candidate I share values with, not theology. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and there are some active LDS folks I don't share many values with like, say, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Harry Reid and I may share theology but we certainly don't share many values and I would never vote for him in any capacity. John McCain, on the other hand, attends a Baptist church. We don't share the same theology. But we do have the same values. That's why I'm voting for McCain this November. Obama? We don't share any values so he will not get my vote.

My point? If a Muslim ran for president and did share my values, I'd vote for him. There are literally millions of Muslims who do share my values. I don't see a problem.

It is a bit funny that Democrats are trying to deny and distance themselves from Obama's Muslim background. Mainstream conservatives don't hold it against Senator Obama, why do the libs and lefties think average Democrats and unaffiliated voters will? Aren't we told by the left that it doesn't matter if someone is a Muslim? Aren't we beat over the head with ethnic diversity and multi-culturalism? Then why are Democrats making a big deal about Obama's Muslim background? Why isn't Obama more open about it? Isn't it an asset or, at the least, a non-issue?

Silly, little Democrats.
