"So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause."
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith | Padme Amidala

"So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause."



Sorry, I couldn't help but be reminded of this scene from "Revenge of the Sith." I only hope that Obama isn't as bad as Emperor Palpatine.

Just think, in Star Wars, it took an evil emperor to give way to Luke Skywalker (Jindal? haha) and Princess Leia (Palin?)! Hope is not lost, my friends, keep your faith where it belongs and try and look at things optimistically. If things get bad, there's no one to blame but Obama which will only guarantee us victory the next time around!

It’s ironic; I thought of that VERY line from that scene last evening, as well.

I thought the same thing. We see our liberties creeping out the window with every passing year.

Obama’s a lot closer to Darth Stewie or Dark Helmet than he is to Darth Sidious.

My friend said the same thing the other day.

Figuring this would be the result.

Evil always overreaches. Always.

This is because those who are evil do not believe in limits. They do not accept limits for themselves.

IF things get bad?

It's a guarantee.

If things get bad, it will all be blamed on Bush and the Republicans for at least the next 8 years.

Last night I feel like I witnessed the starting point of irreversible decline. I am not a kook, it’s not that I think Obama is going to round people up for gulags or something crazy.

It just looked to me like the killing of a great whale. Slowly the horde of cowards stabs it from all sides until the great beast suffers a fatal blow.

Soon, Obama and his horde will grant immediate citizenship to 30 million foreign peasants. They will open the gates to the entire world and our beloved nation will be looted.

I believe our grand experiment has suffered a fatal, self-inflicted wound.

..very good observation—strange how a quote from a science fiction movie has such weight...

“if things get bad, there’s no one to blame but obama...”

wrong. if things get really bad they will blame anyone who is not left-leaning and they will go after them and “purge” them from the scene, in whatever way they can, according to political conditions; they will NEVER accept “responsibility” but will only further the revolution.

mr. ayres is lurking in the shadows for that very reason.

IMHO
