“there are, after all, some honest and decent people on the left.”

stopped reading right there.

haven’t met too many people on the left who are “honest and decent.” they’re invariabley hard-core haters, filled with contempt for those of us who are knuckle-dragging, bible-loving, gun-embracing morons. (donthca know the left is superior in intelligence, reasoning, and compassion, who love to call other people morons and nazis?
the lot of them can go to blazes.)

the time for communist/democrat bi-partisanship is done and the time to votes the da&nable punks out of office is past due.)

IMHO

Gene,

This is how a proper ping list is done. You don’t have to have the graphics, but they make it memorable. jazusamo does a fantastic job!

From an earlier post on another thread,

"People still speak as though the "associations" issue and the economic issue are two different things. They’re not. ACORN wants to spread Joe’s wealth around. So does Bill Ayers. That’s why Obama worked with both ACORN and Ayers. Someone needs to explain all this to Joe."

One more thing, Dr. Sowell nailed another important point. The word "associations" implies a far less significant connection to radicalism than has existed. The operative word should be "alliances." An "alliance" cannot be so easily dismissed as being, "just a guy in my neighborhood." Follow the money and the political power that has accrued and will accrue to Obama through these "alliances," and people can more readily reach infomed conclusions about the link between his radical alliances and his answer to Joe.

Yes, that was an excellent point Dr. Sowell brought out about association vs alliance. Alliances are exactly what Obama had with Ayers, Wright and others of questionable integrity responsible for his political career.

Dr. Sowell is so right. People that are willing to give up their right to speak freely are the ones that blindly follow talking points. They are told in one way or another no to worry; we will take care of you with not one explanation as to why they need to be taken care of except hate and false reasons.

If Obama is elected; I hope these people understand they will not be able to voice an opinion of their own at all. They will be subjected to same rules as everyone else. They may think they are on the inside; but they aren’t and it’s sad they may never understand the government doesn’t care who they are. Believe me, a person is a lot more special when they have the freedom to decide for themselves; not being forced into a way of life that they have no choice.

I wish that OReilly, Hannity and Rush would feature Dr Sowell during the Final Week of the election cycle so that the Truth will out!

Well said...I’m sure these people don’t realize they will trade their individuality only to become a member of the masses.

Yes, it would be a good thing. It was early this year that Dr. Sowell was on H&C and he was great.

Thank you. The MSM is all but dead now. They chose to compromise themselves and their careers and the truth.

They are learning the one hard truth. That they are expendable.

Totally agree with you. The average American is a backwards baseball hat wearing , TV zombie, more concerned with Dancing With the Stars then with what is going on in the world. We have an entire generation of super leftist brainwashed kids thanks to academia .Most folks don’t have a clue about history and most wouldn’t know facts if they bit them on the ass.It’s been a long time coming and now we have a radical black Marxist moving into the White House.Bad times ahead , kiss America good bye..

A year from now I think many will regret voting for Obama. He will win , no doubt at all.The ignorant masses have just f*cked themselves and they don’t even see it. BIG damage to our way of life is on the way.

This is so easy to constantly say when one knows that the guy will never run for office and especially after the way that the GOP undermined the candidacies of Herman Cain, Michael Steele, Keith A. Butler and Kenneth Blackwell for Senate seats and how little support Lynn Swan received for his bid for governor.
