You know if he had won 95% or more of the vote.... But he won 63% I think and McCain won 47% I think or close to that. Hardly a mandate. Looks to me like Republicans are AGAINST redistibution and Democrats are for it - they enjoy sucking at the government tit. Republicans are too busy working and creating the wealth that Democrats plan to steal.

ATLAS SHRUGS

John McCain denounced his opponent as a socialist...

Really?

John McCain was a little too focused on loosing without committing so much as a foot fault to criticize Marxist Obama of anything substantive.

Marxist Krugman is projecting Joe-the-plumber's bravery onto Mister Congeniality.

"If the election of our first African-American president didn’t stir you, if it didn’t leave you teary-eyed and proud of your country, there’s something wrong with you."

Guilty. I'm a believer in Christ Jesus, that's what's wrong with me. If loving Him (and thus refusing to fall for the imposter's cotton candy) is wrong I don't wanna be right...

The Ayatollah Hussein IS NOT the President elect yet, and may never be. We will see what the Electors decide mid-December about supporting an illegal alien as President of the US. McCain may yet win.

This year, however, Mr. Obama ran on a platform of guaranteed health care and tax breaks for the middle class, paid for with higher taxes on the affluent. John McCain denounced his opponent as a socialist and a “redistributor,” but America voted for him anyway. That’s a real mandate.

No, it WASN'T the October Surprise at all. Whoops! There goes your 401K, and it's the Republicans' fault!

“I bet the New York Times wants some government pie to keep them from going under.”

You just know that will be on the agenda.

I wonder what he’ll be preaching if Obama does somehow manage to keep his word and screws things up even more. It’ll be quite interesting to see how far the RATs will go to defend their candidate, even as he’s digging us into a deeper hole.

If McCain and Palin had won, do you think would he have written "If the election of our first female Vice President didn’t stir you, if it didn’t leave you teary-eyed and proud of your country, there’s something wrong with you" ?

Nope

So if there is something wrong with me then Krugman, I guess I qualify for a lifetime of being taken care of by the new incoming Nanny government since as you said Krugman, something is wrong with me?

I didn’t shed a tear. I never did judge him by his color or use his race against him like I guess you did Krugman. Why should I shed a tear? I didn’t drink the Kool Aide and I don’t go to this church. The only thing I am deeply concerned over are his proposed policies and the Chicago style voter fraud, the foreign contributions. If he is really eligible to run after sitting on his birth certificate will always a wonder to me since the man didn’t answer it.

If that makes something wrong with me Krguman, then sign me up for lifetime disability since I will never be moved by a Chicago thug and won’t get over what he did to Clinton or Palin to name a few instances (There are more) or how he didn’t responds to serious questions

Crying I won’t do, but screaming I will. I learned it from ancestors who didn’t like the way they were treated by the mean old British and came here for freedom. My ancestors earned my tears. Not this arrogant man who has a serious insecurity problem and has to have a seal or a sign everywhere he goes and is appointing nothing but carpetbaggers to his administration. Dissent is the American thing to do. Speaking our minds is patrotic. Dissent is patriotic. Crying is not. The country is founded on the rights of those who were not in the King’s favor.

If you want to shed tears over the fact you held the man’s race against him, that’s your business.

...so how much is Krugman going to fork over for all of this?

I mean, we need to avoid greed when it comes to redistributing right?

That will probably be part of the new Fairness Doctrine. Get rid of talk radio and subsidize liberal newspapers. What a crock.

One of the greatest books I ever read was Thomas Sowell’s Vision of the Anointed, no small influence in shifting my ideology from Kool-Aid swilling lefty to solid conservative.

Sowell points out the fact that earnings quintiles are quite fluid, and that the junior level kid just out of school, without 2 nickels to rub together, is tomorrow's corporate executive or neurosurgeon. We're the most upwardly mobile society on the planet.

These nanny state, zero sum demagogues want to turn us into Norway. We need to resist at every turn.

Thanks for the props.

Remember their scorched-earth "campaign of personal destruction" '95-'96 against Rush, Newt, and Dole?

That far.

If you're young and unfamiliar with it, search up Media Research Center and/or Brent Bozell and look in their archives. In particular, Bozell preserved in his archives a talk he gave at a Virginia campus back then -- Franklin and Marshall, or maybe George Mason U.

That campaign is where the coinage "Clinton hater" comes from, and all the uses of the epithet "hater" ever since.

Don't we have something called “The Constitution”...

Just barely, but it won't mean squat after Obama packs the court.

I’m just curious — where did you get the 1/7 black thing? I thought Obama was half-black, half-white? (White mom; Dad from Kenya)?

Dad from Kenya (if he really *was* Dad, been some debate about that) was of *mostly* Arab descent, with only one grandparent being of Sub-Saharan African bloodline (hence the Arabic name given to Obama). This is a known fact...
