Someone even said “Palling around with terrorists”.
They said it was ‘going rogue!’ and shut down that asap!
It was the meme that could have won the 2008 election.
If we can’t defeat Baraq based on 10% unemployment, trillion dollar deficits, $5 gas, and skyrocketing food prices, we deserve him.
There's no great attachment to Obama in the general public, though it depends on where you're from.
But people really do have to bear in mind that he's not as unpopular in the country as he is here.
The same was true of Clinton, and (until the very end) of Bush: people who weren't political didn't come close to the strong feelings of partisans on the other side.
There's a negative reaction to him building out there, but the country isn't close to the point where some people here started out.
On SSG. Giunta: there are different pictures of the ceremony. There's at least one where Obama looks disgusted or grimly resigned putting the medal on Giunta and at least one where Obama and Guinta are laughing together.
“His voice turns me and everyone else I know off”
I’m not exaggerating when I say his voice makes my neck hairs stand. Mega creepy.
That's the Reagan I remember!
When the Kenyan Pirate wanted to address the schoolchildren, I called the principal of my children’s (public) school and asked if they were going to have the children watch. when he asked why, I said my children would be out that day if they intended to. He reassured me they weren’t going to, and they didn’t.
Anyone I work with who voted for this idiot is angry and embarassed; he has no chance in 2012, and probably won’t survive the primaries. It seems the only people defending him are black people and EXTREME leftists, and they aren’t enough to win with; the swing vote is gone, as is much of the “white” and “brown” vote (both groups, as well as blacks, are worse off than 30 months ago).
“If we can’t defeat Baraq based on 10% unemployment, trillion dollar deficits, $5 gas, and skyrocketing food prices, we deserve him.”
You’re right; no matter what nonsense they spew about improvement/jobs/etc., anyone can tell that they are worse off than 30 months ago. I can’t believe he stands a chance.
“there were people (56%) who wound up voting for Obama”
Oh yeah? Prove it, there was so much fraud we have no idea how many even voted let alone who for or how many times.
If we eliminate fraud (motor voter, aliens, dead, ACORN, unions, students crossing state line, etc., etc.,) I suspect we would see as much as a 6% change. When you have 120% of black precincts voting in alphabetical order, as in Miami-Dade, how can you trust any thing about our Banana Republic regarding voting.
That was a great, too-short-lived show.

I just finished a book about life in Germany before and during WWI, then the ramp up by Hitler to WWII. It mentioned the “campaign of illusion” to whip up party members.
Boy, did that ring a bell!
So is his "popularity." It's pretend, make-believe.
I have written “narcissism” in association with zero’s name so many times that I am surprised I didn’t do it this time. I must have been in a hurry.
He is such a disgusting person. Any person who hates God, integrity and honor can only breed evil. Cultural Marxism is extremely evil and rots all that embraces it.
Evil people can never stand to be in the presence of moral people. You do see zero recoil when faced with honor and Truth.
I got this in an email and because of that, read and make your own decision:
He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College . He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser’s latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.

History Unfolding
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus..
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “we the people,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy... Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)
Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning..
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the “savior” was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative “losers” read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... .. ... change And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It’s all there in the history books.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course.. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

AMEN! Preach it, Brother FReeper!
Liberals have to cheat to win because the majority of legitimate American voters REJECT THEM.
WE are the majority; the fact that liberals have to cheat to win tells us so. The MSM and popular entertainment culture only make it appear that there are more liberals than there actually are, and WAY TOO MANY of us (including me) have bought it so thorougly that we've been conditioned to accept fraudulent liberal election "victories" as genuine.
It finally started to dawn on me just how MUCH most of Regular Joe and Jane Americans reject liberalism when I started to read the reader comments on non-conservative news sites like Yahoo News and the L.A. Times. It's a real eye-opener, in a good way.
I am not totally certain but in reading your post I detected a hint of something that led me to conclude that you may not really be all that fond of the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue;>) Not that there is anything wrong with that;>)
