Well well well, we finally get something from the Columbia days.

Doesn't sound much different. "I WILL NOT WEAPONIZE SPACE," indeed.

This man's ideas have been ingrained for years; he's been involved with anti-nuclear and anti-military groupthink for a long time...

A definite ping of interest: Obama in his Columbia days!

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Oh yeah, and kudos to 2ndDivisionVet for the find.

[GeronL]

bump!

[GeronL]

we need to get this to Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin

[SERKIT]

Sophomoric drivel that adds to the argument that Billy-the-Bomber more than likely wrote both books for Barry.

[Doctor Raoul]

Thanks for the hard work.

the military-industrial interests, as they continue adding to their billion dollar erector sets.

I deduce from this that the next 4-8 years is the Chicom's big window of opportunity to catch up with us in space/missile defense.

I suspect a lot of the American people will come to see him for the radical he is in the coming years. He can't hide who he is forever.

One can only assume that all of our foreign enemies have previously read this (and who knows what else just as damming).

Certainly our external enemies have always tracked and supported our domestic enemies.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

or incorporating into our framework of reality as depicted by a Maller[?]

This is probably "Miller", though I can't be sure which as there are several associated with entertainment.

[Cicero]

In the second paragraph, I think “Maller” is pretty certainly Norman Mailer.

[eclecticEel]

A prerequisite for members of an organization like ours is the faith that people are fundamentally good

We are doomed.

Two things are on clear display in this piece:

1) Obama's an articulate, well educated man.

2) He's living in a fantasy land that can only exist when cloistered off from all reality.

[Army Air Corps]

Great One, you may be interested in this bit of drivel.

[silverleaf]

bttt

and I find it hard to believe he wrote this, either

[Thrownatbirth]

But then, there are some things we shouldn't have to live through in order to want to avoid the experience.

Like real work and productivity? Man, you can smell the bong water in these undergraduate-level musings.

[I see my hands]

That's a lot of work thanks. Now you
have a tuxedo and a license to quill.

Obama went to Columbia? Naw, never! I mean we would have seen his complete school record by now...
