A Person of CharacterPosted Thursday, June 4, 2009, at 7:20 AM
What is the character of our current President? I remember the biggest signs of his character in the year before the election. While Obama was running a campaign, he kept his Muslim roots tied up in a back closet for fear that it would lose him the election. The advisors felt that it was understandable (to compromise and deny his roots) considering the widespread emotions against Muslims since 911 and multiple terrorist attacks. We've all heard the angry words from Islam that basically say that Christians and Jews were so evil that it was the duty of the Muslim people to "wipe them from the face of the earth". Of course, that is not the true beliefs of Muslims but the hatred of extremist. Most people realize that there are really faithful and really evil in all religions. However, my education in the Bible tells me that it has been stated many times that people will be turning their backs on God and openly denying their faith. Obama did just that. He used God to keep his appearance, Christ-like. He was portrayed as a committed Christian who went to church. He used that regular church-goer plan until his pastor was caught making anti-something or another-comments in his sermons. Then Obama distanced himself from his church as well. Instead, we heard comments like, "guilt by association" and "You can't hold him responsible for this" or "You can't hold Obama accountable." Well, he chose that church! He chose to sit in that pew Sunday after Sunday while the pastor screamed out inflammatory hatred against white-America. He gave $22,500 to a church that he was not a believer? He was an innocent by-stander? Who donates money and attends a church for 20 years and not believe in what the leader preaches? His Muslim father and Muslim family connections were buried during the run for the White House. When the Boston Globe and Newsweek brought up his father's roots, Obama kept truth under wraps and had his people proclaim on his "Fight the Smears" website... "When people fabricate stories about someone's faith to denigrate them politically, that's an attack on people of all faiths." Matter-of-fact, showing his true integrity, he outright lied and denied about his Muslim roots. Case in point: ABC News' Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller reported: "The candidate's comment at a Boca Raton, Florida, town hall meeting on May 22, 2008, was typical: "My father was basically agnostic, as far as I can tell, and I didn't know him," he said. In September 2008, candidate Obama told a Pennsylvania crowd, "I know that I'm not your typical presidential candidate and I just want to be honest with you. I know that the temptation is to say, 'You know what? The guy hasn't been there that long in Washington. You know, he's got a funny name. You know, we're not sure about him.' And that's what the Republicans when they say this isn't about issues, it's about personalities, what they're really saying is, 'We're going to try to scare people about Barack. So we're going to say that, you know, maybe he's got Muslim connections.'...Just making stuff up." Making stuff up??? That is what he said! Yet, here we are reading about Obama's Muslim roots and how he has lived in many Muslim countries during his childhood so this gives him a unique ability to compromise with them. Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said in the White House during a conference call: "the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to -- or before he's been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world -- you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father -- obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago." And Obama's own words: "Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them." I will make a strong point right now in this blog. I am not anti-Muslim. I do not have anything against the true Muslim faith. That is not the purpose of my writing this. My point is to show another example of Obama's character. This man denied his own father's faith; accused others of "making stuff up" in connecting him with the Muslim faith; used Christianity to make himself seem righteous yet denied his own connection to that church and the pastor when things got tough. This committed Christian who attended Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years, suddenly was not a follower of Rev Jeremiah Wright. Obama stated that the Rev Wright was like an old uncle that always makes silly comments. This pastor preached to our future president countless sermons filled with Anti-American comments. It is all public for anyone to listen to. An ABC News reporter reviewed dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, and found repeated denunciations of the U.S. Obama's own aides were quoted saying that Rev Wright's comments were ""inflammatory rhetoric" Yet, Obama and Michelle were married by this pastor. His daughters were baptized by this reverend as well. And even more interesting is that Obama credited his book, "The Audacity of Hope" to this "old Uncle". So exactly how do we respect a leader who turns his back on people the moment a connection to him turns wrong? How do we trust a man who denies his church? And now anyone can see that he denied truth and lied to cover the very Muslim faith that he is now embracing as the President.

Bravo!
Ronald Reagan has more character than Barack Obama... whatever!
Reagonomics = Give the rich more money, then they'll eventually hire some poor people to carry it around.
Reagan has many faults...
1) Treason: As a private citizen, and BEFORE the election, in contravention of both law and tradition, Reagan's minions and handlers illegally negotiated with the Iranians to induce them hold the American Embassy hostages until after the elections,to embarrass President Carer and to prevent his successful negotiation of an "October Surprise." Sent future VP George Bush, Sr., and future CIA chief William Casey to Paris to negotiate the deal.
2) Sent arms, including chemical weapons, to both Iraq and Iran during the decade-long Iran-Iraq war, making those two countries the two biggest US arms trading partners at precisely the time when it was illegal to trade with either due to both US and UN laws.
3) Iran/Contra: Used drug traffickers to transport illegal arms to Nicaragua, ignoring the contraband which was brought back on the return trip, creating a massive and immediate increase in cocaine trade in urban California. Illegally used the CIA to mine harbors and ferry Contra troops in Nicaragua. Eventually, several administration staffers were convicted of crimes ranging from lying to Congress to conspiracy to defraud the U.S. The scandal involved the administration selling arms to Iran and using proceeds from the sales to fund a guerrilla insurgent group in Nicaragua
4) Created alQaeda in Afghanistan to oppose the Soviet puppet/occupation there
5) Sponsored right-wing, State terrorism in El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, and Guatemala against indigenous insurgents who were fighting the dictatorial, hereditary regimes there. Illegally invaded and occupied Grenada, overthrowing the democratically elected President
6) Lied about ALL of this activity before Congress, and suborned his Secretary of Defense to perjury, as well.
7) Rescinded Carter policy that all US international financial support be based upon valid human rights records.
8) Took the world to the brink of nuclear war, putting nuclear weapons into Europe, violating the very provision that was the settlement to the Cuban missile crisis.
9) Instituted the so-called "Mexico City" doctrine, effectively barring recipients of U.S. foreign aid from promoting abortion as a method of family planning.
10) Instigated trickle-down/voodoo economics, which was the beginning of what has recently culminated in the crash of the bubbles. Here is a subset of his regime's economic sins:
a) Within the first year of the policy, we were in a depression caused in large measure by the policy. The "historic" 27% tax-cut was skewed two to one in favor of those making over $200,000 per year, in percentages, and far more in real dollars. By the end of the second year, increases in state and local taxes more than replaced the cuts for the middle class.
b) Wages throughout Reagan/Bush remained stagnant in real dollars for the next 12 years, the longest and worst growth performance in middle class wages in US history. Average national growth was the lowest since the early 30s.
c) Conspired with corpoRat and congressional allies to sustain spending by loosening credit, to replace the wages they were not going to increase.
d) Named Ayn Rand acolyte and free-market apostle Alan Greenspan as Chief of the Federal Reserve.
11) The HUD/DoI Scandals: Samuel Pierce and his associates were found to have rewarded wealthy contributors to the administration's campaign with funding for low income housing development without the customary background checks, and lobbyists, such as former Secretary of the Interior James G. Watt, were rewarded with huge lobbying fees for assisting campaign contributors with receiving government loans and guarantees. Sixteen convictions were eventually handed down, including several members of the Reagan administration.
12) Appointed some of the "worst" Federalist Society/strict constructionists to the federal bench, including Scalia, Kennedy, and O'Connor, ALL of whose votes were crucial in (illegally) installing GW Bush in the presidency in 2000, and named Rehnquist Chief Justice.
13) Ordered the revocation of the FCC regulation called "the Fairness Doctrine," and opened up the Press to the rash of consolidations which has led, now, to a compromised, toothless, stenographic, lap-dog "Fourth Estate."
14) Initiated the attack on labor unions by attacking PATCO, the Air Traffic Controllers union, creating a crisis in airport control towers nation-wide, and importantly, started the slow erosion of US worker wages and benefits.
15) Through the appointment of James Watt, who claimed that the environment was "expendable" since the "second coming of Christ was at hand,", Reagan reduced clean water and air standards, reduced labor, mine, and industrial safety standards,and cut funding to supervisory and regulatory agencies charged with monitoring those industries.
16) Increased the defense budget to 240% previous levels.
17) Systematically ignored the beginning of the AIDS/HIV epidemic, blaming the victims publically.
18)The S&L collapse: Reagan's "elimination of loopholes" in the tax code included the elimination of the "passive loss" provisions that subsidized rental housing. Because this was removed retroactively, it bankrupted many real estate developments made with this tax break as a premise. This with some other "deregulation" policies ultimately led to the largest political and financial scandal in U.S. history: The Savings and Loan crisis. The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totaled around USD$150 billion, about $125 billion of which was consequently and directly subsidized by the U.S. government, which contributed to the large budget deficits of the early 1990s.
19) Called ketchup a vegetable for the purposes of school-lunch funding and reduced early education and head-start funding.
20) Symbolically ripped the solar panels, installed by Pres. Carter, from the WhiteHouse,and blamed trees for causing air pollution.
FormerMtnHomie................where do you call home now? Stalingrad?
There hasn't been a real leader in that White House since "Uncle Ronnie" and no reason to believe there WILL be.
Reagan stood UP to the bad guys (Gorbechev, Ayatollah, Khadafi, etc).............he didn't BOW and sit down to tea with them.
Even the DEMOCRATS, who aren't known for awareness, saw the good he was doing and supported him to the point of taking 49 of 50 states in his '84 RE-election............numbers don't lie..THAT many people couldn't have been wrong!
For eight years, the United States had its respect back and nobody used our flag as a doormat.
Reagan didn't "inhale', play patty-fingers with his staff. He didn't associate with terrorists, tour the world bad-mouthing his own country. He didn't appoint tax cheats to run the treasury and sought to REDUCE the size of government that "IS the problem"...............not inflate it, and allow it to take over private businesses.
YOUR boy is a Socialist, and if not for the free passes from the press and the truth were known, he's most likely NOT even an American citizen.
I was still on active duty in England when we nuke-loaded on Inaugeration Day to take out Iran had they not released the hostages. If 9/11 had happened on Reagan's watch, it would have been OVER in a week................and you can BET the North Koreans wouldn't be flaunting their missiles at Ronnie.
Ronald Reagan was a REAL American, he LOVED this country...........and OUR needs came first. I know this is an extremely difficult concept for you liberals to comprehend, but the well being of us "arrogant" Americans took priority back then. We didn't penalize the industrious to support the lazy.
Slick Willie and Osama-Obama TOGETHER wouldn't make a pimple on Reagan's butt!
Test question...............WHO was the state governor, the last time CALIFORNIA ever ran in the black?
............and I still think we need to deport the liberals, right along with the illegals................
PS.............goes without saying..............EXCELLENT POST, KIM!!! I always knew there were a FEW folks around here with their heads on straight!
At least old Ron did not lie about who he was and where he came from and who his friends were. That is more than I can say for Obama. I am starting to believe that there is NO truth in anything the man says. Being a member of a church for 20 years where the leader is a racist really says it all. There should be an IQ test before people are allowed to vote.
Yeah......you DO that.
In 1989 he left office with the highest approval rating of any president since Franklin Roosevelt.
Yes, Reagan had issues against him just as every President did. All in all, he was considered one of the greatest Presidents ever.
Now my observations about Obama's character was dead on, ain't no denying it examples of his dishonest character. Everything he does showes that he is in this for the power. Of course, it is also my opinion and I wrote how I came to it. Thanks for reading.
Interesting comprisons between Obama and Adolph:
Hitler was not a German, but an Austrian. The jury is still out about Obama
There was voter fraud and intimidation in both elections (see ACORN....and Black Panthers in Chicago polling stations).
Hitler disarmed the private sector.....Obama WANTS to disarm the private sector
The 3rd Reich controlled all industry and banking.....Obama has 60% and 40% respectively so far.
Hitler surrounded himself with corrupt officials. So has Obama.
The 3rd Reich insured that hospitals were "state controlled". Obama's working on that.
Hitler had control of all propaganda through Josef Goebbels via Nazi radio. Obama has the press in his pocket and his inner circle seek to silence talk radio
WHERE THEY DIFFER.....................
Hitler broke up the communist rings and threw the undesireables OUT of HIS country. Obama favors amnesty for all, including the GITMO prisoners, who in the meantime, are now provided laptops.
Until he got greedy for world power, Hitler was able to put people back to work and virtually pulled Germany out of the depression.
Hitler didn't bad-mouth his country to OTHER countries.........and he BOWED to no one.
Adolph Hitler was a maniac and a madman, yet even HE held his country in more reverance than OUR leader does.
and ah yes...............both had the gift of gab, they could each sell ice cubes to Eskimos, and through their silver tongues, could easily mezmerize "der sheeples."
When everything finally went bad..........Hitler and his whole Nazi Party blamed everyone but themselves for the downfall
We'll see.......................
PS to censored..............do you have a job? If so, there's a pretty good chance it's because some "rich fat cat" had the money to HIRE you.
Who do you think provides employment? Santa Claus?, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy?
I've had to work hard most of my adult life, because I screwed around in school, and would rather have fun AFTER school, instead of hitting the books like the "nerd" 3 seats back with the coke-bottle glasses we all made fun of.
Today, that "nerd" is a success in business because we WASN'T lazy like my buddies and I, he APPLIED himself in class and instead of counting the spots on pool balls, he was up late at night doing his algebra.
Society doesn't owe us anything, Censored. I don't begrudge that "nerd" his wealth today. He's paid his dues to get there. It's those "fat cats" that your messiah wants to rob, who PROVIDE THE FRIGGIN' jobs!
You liberals have never understood that. Never. You think money should just rain from Heaven The world owes all of us a living JUST FOR BEING HERE and gracing this planet with our presence. Isn't that so?
If you lived in a socialist country that you and Obama want THIS one to be where things were just "doled out equally" to all, you'd discover two things very quickly.............there'd be nothing to strive for and......most importantly............your individual liberties would be gone under the hand of your new "masters."
You might want to think about moving out, Censored, because your "Utopia" isn't going to happen here. There are too many of us who are NOT going to give up our God-given rights to THIS government, nor any other.
Do you live in a cave? Live off the land and ride a camel?..............no?.............
Well then, maybe you live in a house, use a microwave, drive a car and watch television? If you DO, it's because some "fat cat" invested the money, hired the engineers and leased the factories to BUILD them for you to own and enjoy.
To "Penalize" (overtax) the industrious who provide the jobs, is virtually biting the hand that feeds you. Doesn't bother Congress of course....they live off YOUR money........THEY aren't broke or out of a job.
And we've certainly NOT been smart enough every electon year to FIRE a bunch of them! So we're obviously satidfied with the splendid job they've all been doing over the past several decades, eh?
So you want to do something about these "rich fat cats", Censored?
Do it at the POLLS..............not at the timeclocks.
censored,
You are a one foul SOB!
"P.S. I'll see ya at the next tea-bagging-party. Maybe I'll just slap you on the booty this time, instead of letting you wear mine on your chin."
I can only assume MHN has not taken notice of your crude insult as of yet or it AND you would be CENSORED my suggestion would be PERMANENT censoring.
On a side note for all the smack you talk, I seriously doubt you could or would ever be brave enough to attempt to back it up in any way shape or form, especially given you KNOW beyond any shadow of a doubt that Bazooka does own firearms and is a combat Veteran, but then again maybe you just get your kicks out of making foul suggestive statements to a Vietnam Vet. which I would guess puts his age in early to mid 60's.
Does that make you feel like a BIG man making comments like that to a senior citizen? What next will you be caught mugging old women in the Wal Mart parking lot for their social security checks?
Get a job you worthless leach on humanity, pay taxes, and THEN come back and see if you can communicate with the grown ups ok....
P.S. for the MHN if you have questions as to the crude nature of the comment about "tea-bagging" made by censored, speak with one of your staff or kids and you will realize it definately does NOT meet acceptable standards for this BB.
WOW Censored...definately think you stepped over the line there. First off by being crude to a VETERAN..someone who has actually been at the pointy end of the spear just so you can make derogatory comments like that. Second of all, RR was NEVER impeached, was NEVER convicted of ANY crime nor was he ever charged. Questioned yes, but never convivted of any crime. Unlike Mr. Bill who was quite nearly impeached and mark my words, so will Obama when all that he's doing behind our backs comes out into the light. RR did more good for this country than ALL of the democrat presidents going back to FDR. He stood up to the bad guys, looked them in the eye and shut them down. Wanna talk Taliban, ok, let's talk Mogadishu. Let's talk about why a president sent men into harms way, then pulled out because we lost a few soldiers. He should have sent MORE into the god forsaken place and wiped out the warlords and paved the way for democracy. Yet today that country has no goverment and that is one of the biggest reasons we have ships hit by pirates everyday. Remember we had NO issues with the Taliban until they became sponsors of terrists and allowed people like Bin Laden to use their country as a safe haven. THEN we had to do something.
I could go on but I have a JOB that calls to me. I guess it's my duty to work to help pay for all the parasites that suck "free" tax money off the hard working folk. Have a great day censored.
censored
In my opinion - you are trash. Trashy writing, trashy mouth. Get a job. Acutally, maybe not. You need to live on the dole and get no more, no less than anyone else on the dole. Don't want you getting anything from the "lazy fat cats".
I want you to try and live without anything produced in companies that are owned by "lazy fat cats".
PLEASE, whatever you do, Do Not work for anyone. Do it on your own. See how far your lazy butt gets.
MHN,
Bravo and thank you for removing the foul commments made by censored! I do apologize though for quoting his comments in my post which just perpetuates the foulness. Please feel free to delete my post as well so no one has to read something like that on your site.
Again THANK YOU...
Thanks for the back-up folks, but Censored is just a small sample of the degeneration of this country.
As for "tea-bagging", I might be 61, but I'm still an old Marine, and I seriously doubt anyone would miss him at a rally. Go for it!
Mike, your fan club still loves you! I know who I can trust when it all goes down the drain (more). You take care and keep up the good work. Hope you feel better soon...ALOE and a lot of it. Be well and my best to the other 1/2!
Yep! I would have to say that Ronald Reagan has been the best U.S. President during the coarse of lifetime. So far.....but I'm still relatively young, so who knows?
I met him and his wife Nancy at the Boise airport once way back in the 70's when he was running for the Republican nomination against President Ford. At the time I was a long haired, maggot infested, FM type. Belay that last, and make it AM type because music wasn't as segmented as it is today, FM hadn't really taken off yet, so KFXD 630 on your AM dial was still the rock for most Southern Idaho teens.
Anyway the meeting was not grand or anything like that. I was just encouraged by a co-worker to go check out this Reagan guy...so I did. I forget as to which gate at the airport he arrived. But I do remember that at that time it was an actual chain link gate. I was just one of many along a fence line. But they both took the time to shake my hand with and to say hello. So I started to check him out further and listened to what he had to say. At a the time where I could have gone either way, this man and this man alone pretty much changed my life. I cast my very first vote for President for Ronald Reagan. In fact, I voted for him three times after that. To heck with the XXII Amendment.
Of coarse Reagan lost the nomination to President Ford which led to the worst U.S. President of my lifetime (Sooo far....) Jimmie Carter.
As luck would have it, I happened to be at President Reagan's last official campaign stop at a shopping mall parking lot in San Diego. And as luck would further have it I was fortunate to be outside of the convention center in D.C. for his second inauguration. Man it was cold on that day.
These are his words from his first inaugural address.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5cEhtge_...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8cEV7MMr...
BTW, I didn't hear any apologies in his address.
I don't recall hearing the word "arrogant", either, nor did Nancy ever refer to us as a "hateful nation." He never bowed to any other leaders, nor pressured the Congress to pass anything without READING it first,
He didn't pussyfoot with the U.N. to "condemn" rogue nations, either. He got on the "red phone" and the next morning somebody got bombed. Reagan didn't win the hearts and minds of ALL of the foreign countries, but the "bad guys" and the "bad-guy-wannabe's" quickly learned that they weren't dealing with Jimmy Carter anymore, and playtime was over. The "old man" wasn't taking anything off anybody.
The Iran hostage situation was nowhere NEAR the magnitutde of 9/11. For 444 days, the Ayatollah had played with Carter like a yo-yo on a string. I was an F-111 Crew Chief at Lakenheath when Ronnie took office, and we nuke-loaded, pilots standing by, on the "Gipper's" orders. Had the hostages NOT been released, Tehran today would just be a memory. I couldn't help but think, that if he'd been the President during my Marine Corps days, I'd never have gone to Vietnam. He'd have bombed Hanoi into submission and most likely taken out the Russian ships that were supplying them.
Reagan didn't fear the Russians.............(
(ask "Mr Gorbechev"............the one who "tore down that wall")
Obama's a joke...............problem IS, nobody's laughing, except the North Koreans, who Barack will want to sit down to tea with.
Taking hostages in a foreign country is one thing........a direct attack on our shores is something else. Had anyone slammed 2 skyscrapers into the ground, killing 3,000 Americans while Reagan was the president, we wouldn't have lost 4,000 MORE in Iraq over the next SEVEN YEARS looking for WMD's and "trying to make a difference."
Bin Laden would be DEAD and we'd have put a dent in some of the drug trade at the same time. (I understand that poppy seeds and opium don't thrive very well in "sands of glass"}.
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Eric Holder, Chuck Schumer, Janet Napolitano........................................................
When I look down the roster of the NIT-WITS who are currently in charge of what was once this country........and then some commie starts running his mouth, trying to put down the only REAL president we've had in the last 50 years............well, I guess it's probably good for the circulation!
Beau, as always, great post. AM? Man did you date yourself with that one!
Mike, great post also. Are you doing better? So...I guess this is not the change that you believe in? You do not like the US being sold off one company at a time? You do not like to see job loss, daily, in 5 digits? You do not take comfort that soon our vehicles will all be made in Korea or China and sent to the US to be purchased by us, the taxpayers that bailed these same folks out? You do not like the idea that your children will soon have to move closer to a border so that they can get to work...in the only places where there will be jobs? Oh, and I guess you really did not want all of that money to go to the likes of AIG, GM, WAMU/Chase, etc. so that they could pocket the money and still FIRE record numbers of people? And this one is the best---bowing to a leader of another land and telling people how sorry he (Obama) is for the way Americans are. So, this is not the change you had in mind there huh Mike? How about this Muslim issue? This all kind of makes my head hurt and makes me glad I did not vote for someone who has such a dislike for his own people (hint...Americans) that is if he would ever prove where he is really from. Yep, change we can ALL believe in. I am sure Hitler said something like that as well before he rounded up the less than perfect people into rail cars and sent them to gas filled rooms or starved them to death. Yep, change at the hands of yet another "gifted" speaker who looks good in a suit/uniform. There should really be a test before a person is allowed to vote.
What will be left when it is all done?
What will be left, depends on how long it takes the American people to reach the point of ACTUAL change, in large enough numbers to go out and do it.
If there was a test before voting, it would require reading skill levels, which by Congressional standards, the Democrats seem to have a problem with.....................they CAN sign their names, though!
I'm feeling better each day. What's left of the sunburn is peeling away. Back & shoulders still too sensitive to strap on a guitar, so had to cancel jam sessions both last night and tonight. Might sit it out in church tomorrow.
Talk to ya later, Missy.
"MHN,
Bravo and thank you for removing the foul commments made by censored!"
"censored, You are a one foul SOB!"
"censored In my opinion - you are trash."
And the difference is???????
My point being, everyone has there own way of expressing dismay towards someone else. Granted, censored's POV was a little crass, but who are any of you to criticize when you post the same, more or less?
How long have you been reading these blogs, MrMister?.............Besides Jacknife, who ELSE but Censored says things like that?
Doesn't bother me personally because these clowns are easily taken care of if they DO show up at a rally, but we have a mixed audience on these blogs who don't alwats find it easy to just "tune the liberals out."
And "What's the difference?" you ask?
Well, we can all "agree to disagree" as they say. I don't expect people to see things the way I do, and it makes for healthy debate.
But Barack Obama is a Socialist, who, along with his cohorts and cohort nominees, seek to put America under an eventual one-world order. He has made no attempt to hide it, yet the press still adores him and licks his boots.
He's already broken his oath of office and committed treason. He has FAR outstepped his authority via the government takeover of banking and industry. None of you lefties out there see it (not surprisingly). He should be impeached immediately (which will never happen to the "darling of the media). And the FREE press should be allowed ACCESS to those hospital records in Kenya that THREE of Obama's lawfirms have sealed up...............that ain't gonna happen either!
As far as I'm concerned, ANYONE who continues to endorse the most openly-corrupt regime EVER.......is no better than a communist himself. THAT'S the "difference" as far as I'm concerned.
And something that DOES rile me PERSONALLY is to "lectured" over issues by nitwits that weren't even AROUND then............like the little college jerk a few years ago who called me a liar in the Boise 'Bama Booster (Idaho Statesman), in rebuttal to a letter I'd written about the first aid kits we took off the bodies of dead North Vietnamese up at Khe Sanh..............
First aid kits that had been DONATED to them by the students of Berkeley College in California. She wasn't a gleam in her daddy's eye yet.........I was there PERSONALLY along with the entire 3rd Marine Division. We ALL remember those kits.............but this "student" obviously sat in some marxist professer's class and was taught differently by some other commie with a tassle and a beard, who wasn't there either.
***MY counter rebuttal to that pinko letter was never printed----------------"fairness act", eh?
Our tax dollars pay for indoctrination now, instead of education, which is why our sociaty is over-run today with 20-year-old who are now equipped with the "infinite knowledge of the ages."
They come out of there 4 years later armed with "theory" but little else. If you've ever watched a segment of Jay Leno's "Jaywalking", you might remember that he often picked on college kids. Half of them didn't know who the governor of their own state was, definition of a filibuster, or what the job of a Senator was..............................but they're all gonna go out and vote in November.
And they did. And we're screwed.
There's a popular marque, MrMister........"If you can read, thank a teacher, if you can read in English, thank a veteran."
As of 2009 anyway, everyone has the right to say what they want..............but not everyone has to give them any credibility for it.
PS..............just for the record........(and someone please correct me if I'm wrong).........in all these many months, I can't remember a time when "Censored" ever wrote anything that WASN'T snide, crass or sarcastic?
Is there any debate on that?
If not, MrMister.............you can't EXPECT anyone out there to cut this character any slack. Respect has to be earned. Just like with the President.
And we'll give your President all the respect you guys gave OURS.
Do not even waste the time on MM. He likes to hunt wolf when he is not on here being arrogant and better than the rest of us. Pay him no attention and do not waste the key strokes or time on him. Sooner or later he goes back to the other blog to hunt the wolf...let him stay there. I am surprised he can even form a paragraph without bad words.
Bazookaman,
If you look in the past, you'll see that I have been here for over a year; and you'll also see that I do NOT favor the liberals you speak of when you state "And we'll give your President all the respect you guys gave OURS."
Please do not categorize me as a liberal!
Secondly,
My comment was regarding the difference between what Censored wrote and what other's wrote.
i.e....
"censored, You are a one foul SOB!"
"In my opinion - you are trash."
As I said, although Censored's comment was crass, I was referring to the comments stated about him/his comments towards others. I mentioned nothing about the content of the blogs; they are informative.
And OM,
"Do not even waste the time on MM. He likes to hunt wolf when he is not on here being arrogant and better than the rest of us. Pay him no attention and do not waste the key strokes or time on him. Sooner or later he goes back to the other blog to hunt the wolf...let him stay there. I am surprised he can even form a paragraph without bad words."
Meaning, do not waste your time on someone that has another opinion. And the arrogant thing again, what's up with that? Because I have an opinion I'm arrogant? You take the cake on that one, big girl. And I'm surprised you can even form a paragraph without belittling someone (or can you?) Twit.
Why don't you try and gather suppport for yourself by dismissing what those who disagree with you have to say? Oh wait, you've already done that...twit.
It hurts your feelings that someone else out here has an opinion, doesn't it?
Kim,
Sorry for taking space on your blog but I won't just sit back when someone attacks.
Sorry MrMister, that "liberal" remark WAS out of line, but your defense of that character DID sound a mite "leftish" to me.
How 'bout Obama today, eh?
So NOW he's over there trying to get Israel to sell themselves out to the Palestinians. I hope Israel (the only true-blue ally we actually have), tells Obama where to stuff it. They need to kick Iran's butt while they're at it.
Our government is a real peach............we won't do anything about our own borders, but we're gonna stick our noses into the Gaza Strip and tell everybody over THERE how to handle THEIRS!
Zookaman,
I was by no means defending him. I was just trying to highlight the irony of remarks.
And yah,
I agree with you about the border situation. My philosophy has always been--Build a wall around the U.S.A., with the following posted at regular intervals--(expletive) with us if you will!
No hard feelings...
Reading our Constitution (which in Washington is like showing a crucifix to a vampire), I see no place where it says "We shall be the world's policeman."
Were it ME in the Oval Office, I would rectify the border situation by closing every overseas base and bringing OUR troops home to guard OUR borders, as was originally intended.
No more walls. Just an "open season" on anything attempting to cross illegally and I'd make GEORGE BUSH serve the same time in prison he let those two border agents serve.
There would be signs posted both in arabic and espanol, warning of the danger.............leaflets dropped and radio announcements made, so as no one could say they weren't told.
Then I'd line the borders with Marines. (along those lines, MURTHA would be arrested and shot for treason).
The FIRST place I'd pull our troops home from is the Iraq/Afghanistan theater...............since we don't intend to win it anyway, I would completely shutdown "Vietnam II." We've already lost more lives in this "politically correct" fiasco, than we lost initially on 9/11 itself.
We need to stay OUT of middle-east affairs, drill our OWN oil and let the ragheads kill each OTHER off, as they've been doing for centuries.
All the illegals already here would be deported (which wouldn't set too well with the Dems, who are COUNTING on those 12 million extra votes next time around). And this is the ONLY reason the Congressional left favors amnesty.........this isn't some "humanitarian" thing about "Poor Pedro" and his destitute family back home..........................................
If they get amnesty GRANTED, you can bet that ACORN will be right on the job, registering all 12 million of these "grateful refugees" who will be more than glad to vote for the party who let 'em in, legal or not........that's all this is about.
You'll never read that in the mainstream press or see it on CNN.
***on a postnote, I ran into someone at Wally-World yesterday who suggested that it really wasn't right for me to compare Obama's regime to the 3rd Reich. When I sit down and really think about that, I know that person is correct.............my apologies to Hitler.***
I dont give Reagan a ton of credit but I can see his logic on some issues. The air traffic controllers union was unrealistic in their demands. Unions have a way of not representing the greater good. I have been in one and they are overrated. They are a business and so take actions that insure its financial well-being. Their well-being does not always help the individual members.
Alan Greenspan did a fabulous job and I challenge anyone to show how he did not. Reagan needed someone who could make the tough decisions and still communicate that to the public. Being able to speak in plain English does not mean that the man did not know his economics.
Reagan had very little to do with Gorbachev and his eventual actions. Reagan standing up to him meant nothing. Read his biography and one will know better. A small note from his high banker in Russia telling him that they were on the brink of bankruptcy was the primary motive for change. Their being so broke meant that the once mighty Russian military was falling into disrepair. Salaries were not being paid and machines not fixed. This was the true reason for glasnost not Reagan being the take-no-crap leader.
He was a good president and did what he could. Like all politicians, he did what he could and politicized the rest.
MrMister,
Do you fully understand the implied meaning behind the "tea" comment that censored made towards Bazooka?
Somehow I think not or you might find it as crude and distasteful as I did. Personal attacks on a person's character are one thing, even questioning another blogger's patriotism, sense of community if you wish. But to make blatantly foul sexual references towards someone because you disagree with their opinions crosses the line! With ME and obviously with the MHN.
Where would you draw the line? Children read these blogs too, do YOU have children? Nieces? Nephews? would you like THEM to be taught that kind of behavior is acceptable?
If you are uncertain as to the implied sexual meaning behind the "tea" comment, find yourself pretty much ANYONE below the age of 30 and ask them.
CJW,
I am well aware of the meaning of the comment. As I've stated, although Censored's comment was crass, I was referring to the comments stated about him/his comments towards others. There's a little irony here, that was my point.
And no, I don't have children, but if I did, I wouldn't want them to be taught a lot of the behavior on the BB, including, yes, my behavior at times also.
One of the best things Reagan did that no one has done since, was gain back for America the respect that had been tossed under the bus............a TOTAL "180" from what's happening today.
The DEMOCRATS are actually the best gauge on Ron's Presidency, if you think about it. They are HARD party loyalists, compared to Republicans who will go with Independents from time to time.
After a President's first term, and everyone has gotten to know what kind of liar he is, the RE-election bid is always tougher, and IF he wins re-election, it's usually a lot closer margin the 2nd time around.
Taking Carter 44 states to 6 wasn't not so much of a surprise, as Jimmy was being made a fool of by the Iranians. He'd also given away the Panama Canal, granted amnesty for all the draft dodgers like Bill Clinton, he granted free immigration for the Vietnamese "boat people", he cancelled the B-2 Bomber and as is normal with the left, he cut defense way back, to fund these eternal social programs. He was weak, and even a lot of Dems recognized it.
The first thing a new Republican President usually has to do when he takes office from a democrat, is REBUILD the military. That always seems to be the first budget that gets cut INTO to fund the welfare and foreign aid programs.
Now, we can banter back and forth all day on these blogs, tit-for-tat on the various issues, but in Reagan's 1984 re-election bid against Mondale.....it was a ROUT! 49 states to ONE!
Now......when you look at the "squeakers" we've had, right down to the "hanging chads" in Florida, it's fairly easy to see that the numbers of registered voters are fairly close between the parties.
REPUBLICANS tend to vote their conscience, moreso than party. We know this from the GOP votes Perot took from Bush I, and we know it from the old conservatives who would NOT support McCain last year, (although SOME came back on board when Palin joined the ticket).
Democrats as a rule do NOT cross party lines, even when the Independent IS clearly the best choice. They will support their candidates no matter HOW corrupt or unqualified they are. It is a RARE "lefty" who DOESN'T vote "straight ticket" everytime no matter what.
1984..................49 states to ONE. Pretty fair proof that even the DEMOCRATS as a whole, liked Reagan and did NOT want to change course in midstream. When the economy is going well, defense is back up, the TYRANTS are behaving themselves, jobs are up, people are proud to be AMERICANS again................this was no time to jump off the train.
When a Republican gets the kind of support from the left, that gave him 49 or 50 states.....................that by ITSELF, tells you the kind of President this country had. The people, left AND right, spoke with one voice.
You will NEVER see that kind of support again............especially for a sitting President who's already the first four years to screw things up......................(Obama's already done that in four MONTHS).
And "Can'tJustWatch"...........I don't know what this "tea-bagging" joke is, maybe it's better that I don't, but I don't pay heed, nor give credit to most of these liberal characters anyway. Their boy and his amigos are pushing our country straight into socialism, and those who continue to sing his praises, even now they KNOW what he's doing.............as far as I'm concerned, they are as much a communist as HE is.
Allegience without being armed with the facts is one thing.
CONTINUED allegience AFTER it is clear what they are doing, is something else. The German people followed Hitler because they had no choice.
American citizens still DO!..............to follow NOW, there is no excuse.
If I "inherit" a car that isn't running well, I knew it when I wanted it, and took it. If I promise to FIX it, and then do a "repair" that only takes it from the driveway to the JUNKYARD because of the way I decided to go about it..............how can I turn around and blame the last owner? YOU have to take responsibility SOMEPLACE along this path. And if we would only give you our vote.........YOU and your party would fix all this..............and besides, Palin was "In-experienced and had a pregnant unwec daughter to boot."
OBAMA campaigned vogorously for the job........the system was in trouble.........HE had a plan.............HE would fix it...........HE would bring change.........oh yes, salvation was coming, the horsemen riding through the mysterious night, oh my GOD! Isn't this exciting to see the metamorphis that is taking place in this 21st century! The "Audacity of Hope, the promise of change.........to be the FIRST!"
Well................like Dr. Phil always asks............"How's that change working out for you?"
Are ya "stimulated yet?"
Bazooka,
Fair enough you are right you probably don't want to know the implied act behind the "tea" comment, so we will leave it at that.
Please know that there are those of us out here that DO listen to what you have to say and DO respect the heck out of you not only for your service to this great nation while in uniform but your service NOW, THIS VERY DAY as you speak up and speak out against idiocy and corruption.
So thank you Sir! Please do not be silenced by the crude comments of the few. I for one am listening, and learning from you.
Bazookaman, thanks for your comments. As usual, you focus on the hard truth. There will never be a President like Reagan. His across the board support from all parties was monumental and probably will never happen again. Sadly, those who support Obama, (63% approval rate)are sheep! It is so sad that those who voted for him and have even voiced their opposition to alot of what he has done these past four months will continue to praise his virtues. It is almost as if they have no choice but to grin and bear it because to oppose him now, though it is the smart thing to do, wouldn't be advisable. If you oppose anything that this man does you are obviously a rascist. No sound reasoning will suffice. The man is the first black president! The media will tiptoe around the evidence of his incompetence and report on the status of his dog before they will admit to his faults. Fortunately, we still live in a free country and those of us who openly oppose him, can still enjoy our right of free speech, at least for now. I can only hope that we will stand firm until a time when we may be able to boot the current government and re-establish our forefather's nation. We are still the people and do believe that our government should be working for the people and laws should be made by the people. We, the people, do still believe, that in order to bring back a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, might have to ordain and re-establish our Constitution for the United States of America.
One thing I'm curious about Kim.........the Dems like to preach about all this debt their party "inherited"................but they had control of the Congress over Bush's last two years.........ie: they controlled the PURSESTRINGS. In other words, Bush couldn't spend if the Dems TOO didn't approve it.
Over this past 5 months, Obama has taken this 1-trillion and quickly turned it into FOUR, which will now be at least TWELVE over the next 10 years. He is spending money we don't have, taxing children who aren't even born yet, and the government that won't reel in its OWN spending, lectures US about "tightening OUR belts."
Our taxes CONTINUE to go to the "Federal Reserve"(=foreign bankers), we pay for his "date nights" and Pelosi's 757), we continue to send money overseas in aid, and continue to supplement all the pork he PROMISED would cease if he were elected, under his "transparent" government.
At WHAT POINT, I wonder, does this STOP being "Bush's fault?" They have the White House, and have had control of the Congress for the past two and a half years.............which means control over MONETARY appropriations as well.
Disclosure of interrogation methods is a SERIOUS undemining of our troops, and most of Obama's party has been kneeling to the communist-based ACLU on this.
Through the government takeovers of banking and auto industries, he has now sold THEM out to the Chinese..............how?...............well, if GM now OWES the government................and the government owes CHINA............do the math. (Sarah Palin----------"the inexperienced one"), brought that up in a recent interview). But she doesn't know anything about running a budget, she's just a GOVERNOR of a STATE!.........And the "annointed ONE" was a U.S. Senator for a whole 143 days when he decided it was time for him to be President, with his substantial background experience of 129 "present" votes.
Several of his cabinet nominees had to step back down because of their tax cheat problems (except for the cheat who now runs the TREASURY...........but they've got no problems spending OURS.
It's "all Bush's fault" of course. Always WILL be no matter what OBAMA does. And his adoring mainstream press will always be there for him.
Heard the remarks David Letterman made about Sarah Palin's daughter? If some liberal tv personality had said something like that about Obama or Biden's daughter............he'd have been jerked off the air IMMEDIATELY!
This whole election and administration has been a 1-sided, bought and paid for, dog and pony show. But will our grandchildren be able to afford the price of admission?
Shades of Jimmy Carter............weak....apologetic....wants to sit down and try to "reason" with the bad guys.
The "bad guys" see this, and just like with Carter, here comes IRAN again. Korea doesn't sweat this paper tiger either, and the respect Reagan regained for us so long ago, is now back into the Rodney Dangerfield class once again.
None of our adversaries take Obama seriously. Why SHOULD they? I only hope that Israel IGNORES our fools in Washington and takes care of business as THEY see fit.
And when your Aunt Martha can't get the cancer treatment she needs because she's too old to carry any priority for "state funds", you can thank the "messiah" for having the "Vision" to follow Canada in their Socialized Medicine plan.
"Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave?"......................not for long, if they have their way about it. It'll be replaced with a light blue one with a globe on it.
You do realize that he is only ONE man! If he was such a power-monger, there would be other consequences other than what has transpired.
You do realize that he is only ONE man! If he was such a power-monger, there would be other consequences other than what has transpired.
Twil, there will be MORE consequences as we roll right along this track. Some things take time to ferment. Now we have another foreign power in charge of one of our companies. Reading the news Fiat plans on building smaller more environmentally friendly cars. Apparently they can't read english when companies like Toyota admit cars like the Prius have nearly dropped off the map what with lower gas prices. Ahhh now I understand...gas prices go up and Toyota sells small cars. Now I understand why we are witholding supply to drive up demand..hmmmm
MHBouncer, good points. This fallacy that Obama is some power-hungry fascist is garbage. That's my point. He may have other misgivings and all that jazz but he is not Mussolini or Caecescu. Certain individuals here like to dress things with superlatives and exaggerate things...
Fiat (errr.. GM) is going to have issues dealing with UAW or whatever form it takes in the future and American stockholders who tend to take a short term view. Americans like excess and will not deal well with a car that is fuel efficient but slow. Lowering our demands is common sense but few are going to do it without the economy forcing change.
Whatever Obama isn't deciding on his own, he is being TOLD what do do by the corrupt circle around him. He HAS to rely on these people because he clearly does NOT have the experience for the job he was given.
All I have to say is.........look where we were when he took office, and look where we are just 5 short months later..............and look where we're headed.
And these "misgivings" are MAJOR to our very liberties and national security, and there is no one in his cabinet who has enough experience either, to be guiding him.
Our country has never been CLOSE to being in this kind of trouble. This regime needs to go.
AM? Man did you date yourself with that one!
-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Sat, Jun 6, 2009, at 12:54 PM
OM,
The ironic thing is that I'm back to listening to a whole lot of AM radio on the lower end of the dial. Go figure!
That "lower end of the dial" is the only place you'll publicly hear the truth anymore.....................which is why the libs want to shut it down.
This "fairness Act" doesn't swing both ways.
bazookaman,
With all due respect, I don't think that my radio equipment can pick up the same ultra low frequencies as yours apparently can.
670 AM. Incidently, this "Fairness Act" calls for opportunity for the "other side" to get air time to express their views. Hannity, O'Reilly and Savage already DO that..........fact is, on FOX relevision, Geraldo Rivera even has his own show, and there aren't too many people more to the left than HE is.
Hannity has repeatedly invited Obama, Biden and others to his talk show, both while campaigning, AND since being elected. None of these mainstream libs have ever accepted................of course, when you KNOW you aren't going to get a "free pass" and might actually HAVE to answer some TOUGH questions, with millions out there listening...........
But the Fairness Act doesn't swing both ways. You'll never see Sean, Bill or Mike given equal airtime on CNN or MSNBC (the Obama Network).
You'll never see equal coverage in any major newspaper, especially the Statesman.
The scumbag remarks Letterman made the other night about Sarah Palin's 14-year old daughter................if Hannity or O'Reilly had said something like that about one of Obama or Biden's kids?...............everybody from Pelosi DOWN would be on the FCC to have these guys jerked off the air. Letterman the liberal, gets a free pass, of course.
The Black Panthers intimidating white voters at those polling places in Chicago was "freedom of expression." If some dudes from the Aryan Nations stood outside of a polling place in a BLACK neighborhood attempting to intimidate BLACK voters..............that would be covered by the media as "racist and hateful."
Obama's new Supreme Court Judge nominee is another good example. Turn THAT one around..........if a caucasion male conservative nominee had said HE would make better decisions than someone of another race.........or if HE would have talked about how judges "make policy", can you imagine what the New York Times and CNN would have done with that?
This "Fairness Act" is a load of crap. A direct offshoot of "McCain-Feingold." Like Josef Goebbels, the ONLY voice they want over ANY airwaves is THEIRS.
But what "goes around, comes around" as they say, and while not widely publicized, there are a number of big newspapers in deep trouble in subscriber loss, including the Idaho Statesman (which warns the cockels of my heart).
CNN/MSNBC as well.............Fox has almost DOUBLE their ratings. Tells me that there's an outside chance that folks ARE starting to wake up in this country. I just hope it doesn't take too long.
Bazooka, there is no "fairness" in the fairness doctrine. It's being used as a way to sew the mouths shut of those who speak up against the government. It's being used as a tool to quiet those who oppose the criminal acts taking place. If they get their way will the leftists let Hannity or O'Reilly have air time on NPR? MSNBC? CNN? You'd be out of your mind to believe THAT would happen. How about getting O'Reilly a seat on the View? Now that would something to set the DVR for.
Yeah....it's pretty much all one way.
At the moment.
I believe he was on "the view" last year, around October.
Politicians on both sides of the fence are remarkably cowardly. Bush would not talk on a show when it was hostile territory. Politicians are in the business of looking good for their supporters. Why would they risk getting caught in a lie so that some whack-job radio host with little scientific knowledge of the issues can slam them. This is not just some excuse for the left because those on the right are equally gutless.
THIS government doesn't need any radio hosts to slam them. They're doing a pretty good job all by themselves.
Four GITMO prisoners just went to Bermuda. Can't ya just wait to see what this administration does with the rest of them?
I MUST say THIS, though. It's taken him FIVE months, but Obama finally made a good decision when he over-rode Pelosi and friends and used his EXECUTIVE powers to NOT allow what should be classified information to be publicly released for enemy comsumption.
Whether he thought of that himself, or if he had help from one of the FEW in Congress who actually know something, is a moot point. It was ultimately Obama's decision to make, and he made it. It was the right thing to do, and I'll be the first one to stand and applaud him for it.
Yes, that praise actually CAME from the old Bazookaman. Does that alter my thinking on the "annointed one"? Hell no, I still think he should be impeached, but when a guy like him manages to do something POSITIVE, I ALSO think he should be commended for it, which is a darned sight more than I can say for the GOP haters.
No REPUBLICAN ever did ANYTHING good....right guys?
I am glad I am an American
I am glad that I am free
I wish I was a dog
And Pelosi was a tree
Hey.............if Letterman can say what HE said............
Why I do neleive you are right Mr. and from what remember he probably won't be on again any time soon. I was refering to him being a permanent host there.
As for the 4 detainees (terrorists). We took them to a territory of a soveign nation without their permission. Bermuda is a protectorat just as Puerto Rico is for us. If Breat Britain had dropped off 4 terroists in PR I'm pretty sure we would have them up by the short hairs. ALthough thinking about it, Obabma would probably bring them to the US so we can house and feed them with tax payer money so they won't kill any of us any more.
You know if that's the case, let's just let all the people in death row in this country go. Set them up in a house, give them welfare. At least these people are citizens and only killed a couple people each. None of these guys (and gals) professed to wanting the whole United States wiped off the planet. Think of the BILLIONS we would save by doing this. Wouldn't need all those security guards and prisons. Nope..wait..I'm wrong..we would need them for all the people picked up with a joint as their 3rd strike.
A tree, a curb, fire hydrant..any of those would work Bazooka
Yeah, I guess I'm with the wrong group, Bouncer. As one of Napolitano's nasty "conservative right wing extremists", I've got to wade through Obama's mess on a daily basis, while they systematically pick our pockets every month.
If I was a TERRORIST, I could stretch out on the beach in Bermuda, have a house out by the shore, new clothes, all at taxpayer expense.
We're in the wrong racket, brother.
"I was refering to him being a permanent host there."
Sorry bouncer, I thought "guest". whoops!
Cheers
The FOX network is at least fair and balanced.....,,,(or MORE-so than the other networks). O'Reilly might have been a guest of the "liberal ladies'" show..............but on FOX, Geraldo Rivera has his OWN SHOW, and there aren't too many people more leftwing than HE is.
On THEIR shows, Hannity and O'Reilly consistently have liberal guests on their panels. Yet the Dems are still whining about this "Fairness Doctrine." They already own the major newspapers and most of the tv news. What do they want......TOTAL control of the airwaves, like the NAZI's had?
Well, why not.......they've already got control of the banks, auto industries, looking to takeover the hospitals and clinics.........just like Adolph did...............(I'm not trying to be funny here, check it out for yourselves).
THE WORLD HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE! Too bad we're too collectively stupid to see it happening right now in FRONT of us.
Come on now, if Obama was a power hungry fascist he would shut down this channel and all others. Fear mongering and exaggerating are signs that you cant back what you say up logically. It is simple psychology, those who try to conjure fear usually have some other agenda other than just informing the public. Hitler and Mussolini did not rule in countries that were as strong economically as ours. Those nations were recovering from the devastation of WWI. Hmmmm.. there was no devastating war here recently. Maybe there are delusional types who will argue otherwise but lets be sane, sober, and realistic.
I'm just pointing out what happened 70 years ago, and what's happening so far right now. I just wrote a letter to the Editor (MHN), and I hope you get a chance to read it if they print it. (Kelly usually does).
No, he hasn't shut down "channels yet', but he's only been in there 5 months so far. Give him time.
They HAVE taken over banks, auto industries, NOW tobacco and alcohol will be next. And we all KNOW about his socialist health care intent.
Now...........where Hitler made his own decisions, Obama may NOT be the "fascist" himself, but taking orders on the end of his puppet strings.
There is a common school of thought they may WELL have some credibility to it. Many of the longtime Democrats have wanted total control of this country, and found a "key to the door" in this slick-talking, charismatic young dude. They knew he'd appeal to the young, to the minorities, CERTAINLY to the illegals, and of course, unconditional support from every registered Democrat.
It's simple........we'll use "pretty boy" as the window dressing to mezmerize the multitudes, and after he's elected, he'll HAVE to listen to us and depend on that teleprompter, because his inexperience won't allow him to do anything else.
They NEEDED something very "new, exiting and different" to get control. With the liberal RINO McCain as the "opposition", it was a done deal WAY before November.
As for conjuring fear?...............no more than Paul Revere did in the middle of the night.
It's coming. Personally, I don't care who believes it or not, but there are over 80 million gun owners who do and that number is swelling rapidly on a daily basis. So...........either a lot of people have done their homework, or there's a TON of money being spent out of mass paranoia.
Those who have computers have found it easy to look up the individual past voting records of the jerks now in power. How a politician has voted in the past is a pretty good indication of how he thinks. Most of the time, there was no need to be concerned, because there have always been enough "common sense" Congressional votes to over-ride the nuts.
Last November, we all knew the deck would be stacked against liberty itself, not only through the numbers of seats, but there would also be NO veto power in the White House to ward off any foolishness, and if fact, the WHITE HOUE is where a lot of it has come from already.
Took a car trip to Arizona a couple of months ago. Stopping for gas in Spanish Fork, Utah, I was approached by a liberal (it was OBVIOUS).
Although I have a concealed carry permit, I was wearing a revolver openly on my belt (as I often do around HERE), and he asked "Why the gun?"
"Because our Constitution says I CAN."
........."Well.........I don't like guns" he says.
"Well" says I........"Don't buy one!"
He was parked at the next pump and when he got back in his car and pulled out, not suprisingly, there was his "OBAMA" sticker on his rear window.
I don't know everything, if I did I'd be a millionaire living on my own island someplace else. But I HAVE learned a FEW things over the past 6 decades, and enough to be able to tell you that what you might hear in the classroom, or read in some journals.......don't necessarily mean "Jack-Bo-Dibbly" out here.
Keep your eyes and ears open while you study, Twil...........but don't let some professor get you killed.
