"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Anybody fool enough to smoke tobacco in the this day and age is not clever or clean-cut IMHO.
I can’t believe that the Democrats really want the South East Los Angeles mentality. They will burn this country down and we will see the largest civil war this world has ever seen. No.....this country is not ready for THIS kind of black man who wants change but won’t say what that change is. A black man that has a radical pastor that hates the white man. If this country is to have a black as President, it must be someone that is between white and black and actually can verbalize what he means by change and actually has this country at heart. Obama is not that man. He is a slick talker......too slick.
Mr. Obama is a very lucky man. He is running against the most unpopular woman in the United States for the Democratic nomination for POTUS.
Other than that, he is lacking in every category, with the possible exception of public speaking(and he seems to excel there only with a teleprompter).
Mr. Obama has no message other than this: Government is good, private sector is bad.
If elected, he will make Jimmy Carter look like Harry Truman.
Frightening. This is why all you Freepers must hold your nose and vote McCain in the fall.
Wonder what would happen if conservatives adopted this as their motto? Yeah, I know. That's why I brought it up.
Beware the cult of personality. No act is intolerable in service to the Great Leader.
And Shiver couldn't be more on target than this:
Evidenced by his list of supporters, from Ayers Dohrn, Hayden and Fonda, to the New Black Panthers, the New SDS, the New Winter Soldiers, et al., the radical Left has annointed Obama as the One. Every aging, anti-war, anti-capitalist group and their new offshoots are flocking around Obama like moths to a flame.
He is the One they’ve been waiting for. Biding their time during the dark, dreary days of Reagan, throughout the self-absorbed Boomer years, into the Yuppie sellout decade, and on through the compromising Clinton years, they’ve waited and planned and hoped.
With much suppression of the gag reflex, I just finished reading both Obama's and Bill Ayers' narcissistic, race-obsessed memoirs, Dreams of My Father and Fugitive Days. Obama's is but a prettified, socially acceptable and purposely obfuscated variation of Ayers' obscene screed.
Conservatives don’t burn things down, they build things up.
Why does everyone say Obama is a slick talker? I’m amazed that he almost always uses the same lines, he has trouble articulating anything concrete and can’t paint a picture of anything with words. In other words, he is not particularly articulate. Is it just me?
You’re not alone in your assessment. Neither is/was Bill Clinton. Spend two minutes listening to Bill Buckley, Karl Rove or Dick Cheney and any honest, objective person will realize that Obama, Bill, Hillary, or any stooge on the Left is intellectually vacuous and anything but articulate. But the Left lies to itself as much as it lies to others. So they believe that he is articulate.
“An odd fact.....key Markist radicals of those days were not themselves Baby Boomers.”
All of those people—the Weathermen, Professor Timothy Leary, the Black Panthers, student radicals all around the world, would have had no success and would have been quashed right at the start if there were not a quiet grassroots movement towards socialism and Marxism for at least one generation before them.
You can plant seeds all day long. But if the soil ain’t fertile, your seeds won’t grow. Just sayin’.
There’s also a personal charisma in those cases that leads many people to overlook the actual delivery.
