If he’s really a conservative then he knows darned well what’s going on. The left (Democrats) have morphed into a committed communist movement bent on destroying the republic and all it stands for. Strange as it may be that is somewhat controversial to some of us.

I have friends on both sides of the aisle and we are able to get together, talk football, etc. abd generally enjoy each other’s company.

As long as you agree with them on the important things in life who gives a fat rat's patoot about this silly ole republic. Right?

"the possibility that Obama's election might deliver us from this nastiness. I think it's called the audacity of hope"

I thinks it's called that river in Africa - "DeNile".

How can conservatives unite with leftists when leftists want to destroy every conservative principle and force conservative to follow their way?

Leftists don’t want any viewpoints that differ from theirs. They embody intolerance, domination and they lust for power and total control over others.

Your viewpoints don’t make any sense. If you want to continue discussion, please elaborate and explain how conservatives should unite or ‘get along’ with liberals. The only way I’ve seen over the last many years is to convert to liberalism.

Everything you said is exactly right on target and completely undeniable.

The vast majority, if not 100%, of the hate and violence in this election is coming from the left, but the left continues to whine about the nasty right-wing attacks. The left has become completely Stalinist, and we are in big trouble if we don’t fight back. There’s no such thing as a level playing field.

I see nothing to cheer about if Obama is elected President. He’s unqualified. You don’t vote for someone because of the color of his/her skin. It’s what’s between the ears. It’s integrity, honesty, record, accomplishment, and who’s pulling his strings. In Obama’s case, America’s enemies are doing just that. Fraud, lies, foreign money pumped into his campaign at horrendous amounts. Not to mention the disreputable MSM toadies without the sense to pour sand in a hole. Unbelievable.

Actually, and ultimately, that may INDEED be correct in an eternal sense. However, we have often in this Nation been able to disagree politically without destroying one another. So it is, indeed, possible.

To me those don't look like WPA 30’s artwork. They look more like old Soviet style Worker's Party posters, designed to further the Communist Party “group-think”. The era is correct, the country isn't.

I can’t think of a single leftist position that isn’t extreme even in its mildest form. I don’t disagree with destroying this republic. I reject it out of hand and make no apologies for it. There is nothing to discuss with today’s left.

maybe...don’t have time to really research it now so I’ll take yer word for it

i always remember that brawny exaggerated look from those WPA arts from school book binders and library murals from when I was a boy in the late 50s and 60s...i always think Steinbeck

from works done in that era which lauded the laboring man

there was even a bar-food joint in South Beach in the late 80s when I lived there decorated as such and called WPA

You're right and though we shouldn't stoop to their level we have to fight back, they'll only get worse if we don't.

There’s not only nothing to cheer about if he’s elected there’s nothing to cheer about him even being in a position to get the Dem nomination, he’s a loser and an anti-American and shouldn’t be where he is now.

You’re right it was adopted by the WPA, too, but I think it started with the Soviets and even the Nazis. The proud, but potentially downtrodden, “Worker” motif was popular on many fronts during the era.

Yes, Portland is and has been a hotbed of radical leftism for years.

"...if he's elected on Nov. 4, Obama will be my president"

He won't be mine.

"Obama's election might deliver us from this nastiness."

Ha! You should know lefties better than that.


He won't be mine either.

1. ObamAyers is ineligible to be Commander-in-Cheif due to the fact that he is not a US born citizen.

2. Democrat election fraud.

ObamAyers will not ever be considered a legitimate president by half the nation, should he be "elected".

Further, until we get to the bottom of this citizenship thing, the military will be duty bound to intervene against an attempt at installing an Obama-Ayers administration should this Communist attempt to seize control of the United States government.

However, the media burried that information - never informing their liberals that BUSH ACTUALLY WON THE ELECTION AND DID NOT STEAL IT .. but instead continued to foment the premise that “Bush stole the election”.

Exactly! It has hardly been a fringe element fomenting the divisions and unrest in this country. Nearly all the major media has ignored the truth and poured fuel on the fire by doing so. They carried the water for the "Bush lied" meme. They published national security secrets. They refuse to vet 0bama just as they refused to expose the Clinton's lies and crimes. Even Bill and Hill aren't immune to it and got trampled by the media's willful complicity with 0bama's lies and lack of resume.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Kennedy is one who denigrates our troops with lies.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Kerry denigrates our troops with lies.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Durbin smears our troops with lies.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Cong. Murtha denigrates our troops with lies and false accusations.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Cong. Murray denigrates our troops with lies and praises the good works of Islamic jihadis.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Reid declares the war lost just as we make good progress. Or tries to use the power of the Senate to silence Rush Limbaugh with a lie.

It is hardly a small fringe element when Speaker Pelosi falsely calls the President a liar.

It is hardly a small fringe element when the NYTs (the most recognized newspaper in America) allows an ad to run that calls an American hero and patriot, risking his own life and limb to accomplish a herculean feat, "General Betrayus."

It is hardly a small fringe element that bankrolls a half dozen or more radically anti-American groups like Moveon.org.

It is hardly a small fringe element when no serious condemnation of these things is heard. Or when it is condemned it is buried or the one who condemns it is mocked and savaged by the press.

It is hardly a small fringe element when a working guy asks "The One" a simple question then finds over 100 reporters on his lawn and his entire life exposed in the national media.

It is hardly a small fringe element when a radical and criminal group like ACORN is funded with hundreds of thousands of tax dollars by our Congress and hundreds of thousands more from the campaign of one of the Pres. candidates.

It is hardly a small fringe element when a major network and their longtime leading talking head fabricate a story from whole cloth to derail the Republican candidate.

The unrest and division is no anomaly confined to a fringe of hotheads and kooks when all of this and more is promoted and encouraged from a wide swath of our national leadership. This division is not arising in a vacuum. It is being encouraged and spread from Congress, from the biggest media outlets and from universities across the nation.

So he's and Arab-African-American. You only have to look at photos of BHO Sr, to see that there is not much Arab there.

Nope, not a lot of Arab in BHO Sr. And not a lick of American in him.

“what accounts for this rage?”

psychiatry can gain an insight into it. but, the bottom line is that leftists are nothing but ill-mannered scu&bags who have no regard for anyone else’s psyche. they’ve honed their skills in hiding behind their libidinal impulses and turned them into a self-proclaimed-noble political movement
that is nothing but a front for an adolescent, psychiatric mental illness that is an excuse for not growing up.

look at the actions of the khmer rouge, the black shirts, brown shirts, viet cong, viet minh and the soviets after the revolution and you’ll get an insight into who they are. It ain’t good.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION
