Puff, the magic Obama! Well, there was a certain kind of windbag in ancient Greece Plato called the "sophist." 2,500 years later and nothing much has changed. People are still taken in by empty rhetoric devoid of real substance and truth!

"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

Yup, obama's followers believe only in the shadows that they see on the cave wall. Y'all need to be familiar with Plato's Republic to know what I mean.

The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Chuck Norris out. It failed misserably.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.

Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.

There are no steroids in baseball. Just players Chuck Norris has breathed on.

When Chuck Norris falls in water, Chuck Norris doesn’t get wet. Water gets Chuck Norris.

When an episode of Walker Texas Ranger was aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side.

Let's not forget this brave patriot Allan Keyes who dared to run against the Obamanation and his corrupt alliances in Chicago for the Il. senate. Keyes got trounced and the media beat him up but Keyes saw right through this phony.

the entire visual felt more like a temple than a tenured politician's presidential platform. ....

Chuck Norris intimidates articles into writing themselves.

Chuck Norris is without a doubt the best political columnist who ever lived.

I was thinking that he was in the top 2 or 3 best columnists that ever lived while reading it, but a fist came through my computer screen and punched me right in the face.

"For a week prior to the event, newscasters, commentators and pundits were trying to guess what exactly that Greco-Roman, column-structure was that served as a stage backdrop, and what it was supposed to be representing and stating on behalf of Obama. Hypotheses were strewn across the news and the Internet. Despite that Obama's camp suggested these Athenian pillars were merely representative of the history of democracy, the entire visual felt more like a temple than a tenured politician's presidential platform. .... But, with giant Trinitrons broadcasting his image from the flanks of the stage and the tops of the stadium, I felt like he was running more for emperor of the world than president of the United States."

That Obamapalooza coronation needs to be studied. Americans don't need to take moral lectures from an emperor who approved of infanticide. Someone needs to point that out during his next sermon.

...over-the-top political spectacle of sight, sound, speech and pyrotechnics – complete with superstar performances, Braveheart-like epic music endings and an Olympic-sized fireworks show.

Can you imagine the carbon footprint created by this spectacle? Funny the media didn't mention it!

I certainly thought it was over the top. All glitz and very little substance. The next day I saw the film Idocracy on cable TV, and the resemblance to the “house of representin” and the “monday night rehabilitation” scenes were striking.

BUMP for Chuck Norris!

When a political convention turns into a Super Bowl half time show...

Chuck nails it.

Smoke and mirrors, in other words.
