Well, you have a point.
I am old enough to have pitied Nixon, despised Carter and been revolted by Clinton.
There is probably overlap there with being ashamed.
Part of my little statement was just to turn the harridan’s words back on them, obviously.
But Obama is different. I am indeed ashamed of him.
For the first time I actually fear the son-of-a-bitch in the White House too.
Maybe that’s the one small consolation in the pair of them.
They have to live with each other.
(I bet it won’t last long once they are out of our White House.)
We're fortunate that obama is not very good at lying. Oh, he does it all the time and he always gets caught in his lies (though unfortunately he's never held accountable by anyone incuding the "opposition party"). It takes at least a modest level of intelligence to be a good liar ... something obama demonstrates every day he does not possess.
He is a ruler in that he is Sultan with his Vizier Jarrett. Sultans of yore ruled but their governments and militaries were run by their Viziers until the Vizier screwed up and lost the Sultanate some territory or embarrassed the Sultan. When that happened the Sultan had the Vizier strangled (the Ottomans) or halved (the Mamelukes). The Sultan had ultimate authority and power. The Vizier was often a dhimmi or a converted-for-convenience Jew or Christian.
A negro of the Liberal Tribe has said Rudy is lying, so it must be true and you had best believe it or you are also a racist!
Would Nancey Reagan say that she felt proud of this country for the first time in her life. Would Ronald Reagan go to a church where the minister would say God Damn America?
Gee, why am I so surprised?
Interesting... BTW I have no doubt that he will be done away with when his usefulness is over...
Yup. Obama is a carbon copy of Reagan.
To leftists, the greatest sin is "hypocrisy". Eighty years after the cult of Heideggerian "authenticity" was revealed as an excuse for brutality, they are still shouting down opponents as "hypocrites".
Saul Bellow captured the tension between the older, rationalist/modernist liberalism and what replaced it (disregard this long passage if you don't like classic fiction):
Sammler, with growing interest and confidence recalling all this, lectured on Cosmopolis for half an hour, feeling what a kindhearted, ingenuous, stupid scheme it had been. Telling this into the lighted restless hole of the amphitheater with the soiled dome and caged electric fixtures, until he was interrupted by a clear loud voice. He was being questioned. He was being shouted at.
"Hey!"
He tried to continue. "Such attempts to draw intellectuals away from Marxism met with small success...."
A man in Levi's, thick-bearded but possibly young, a figure of compact distortion, was standing shouting at him.
"Hey! Old Man!"
In the silence, Mr. Sammler drew down his tinted spectacles, seeing this person with his effective eye.
"Old Man! You quoted Orwell before."
"Yes?"
"You quoted him to say that British radicals were all protected by the Royal Navy? Did Orwell say that British radicals were protected by the Royal Navy?"
"Yes, I believe he did say that."
"That's a lot of shit."
Sammler could not speak.
"Orwell was a fink. He was a sick counterrevolutionary. It's good he died when he did. And what you are saying is shit." Turning to the audience, extending violent arms and raising his palms like a Greek dancer, he said, "Why do you listen to this effete old shit? What has he got to tell you? His balls are dry. He's dead. He can't come."
Sammler later thought that voices had been raised on his side. Someone had said, "Shame. Exhibitionist."
But no one really tried to defend him. Most of the young people seemed to be against him. The shouting sounded hostile. Feffer was gone, had been called away to the telephone. Sammler, turning from the lectern, found his umbrella, trench coat, and hat behind him and left the platform, guided by a young girl who had rushed up to express indignation and sympathy, saying it was a scandal to break up such a good lecture. She showed him through a door, down several stairs, and he was on Broadway at One hundred-sixteenth Street.
Abruptly out of the university.
Back in the city.
And he was not so much personally offended by the event as struck by the will to offend. What a passion to be real. But real was also brutal. And the acceptance of excrement as a standard? How extraordinary! Youth? Together with the idea of sexual potency? All this confused sex- excrement-militancy, explosiveness, abusiveness, tooth-showing, Barbary ape howling. Or like the spider monkeys in the trees, as Sammler once had read, defecating into their hands, and shrieking, pelting the explorers below. He was not sorry to have met the facts, however saddening, regrettable the facts. But the effect was that Mr. Sammler did feel somewhat separated from the rest of his species, if not in some fashion severed--severed not so much by age as by preoccupations too different and remote, disproportionate on the side of the spiritual, Platonic, Augustinian, thirteenth-century. As the traffic poured, the wind poured, and the sun, relatively bright for Manhattan--shining and pouring through the openings in his substance, through his gaps.
Yeh remember Ronnie surrounding himself with the Muslim Brotherhood. Remember Ronnie bowing to the King of Saudi Arab and the Mayor of Tampa, Fl. Remember all of Ronnie’s Eid al Fitar dinners. Remember Ronnie’s civilian national defense force.
I was gonna say something about Capeheart having his head up his ass, but now that I’ve seen a picture of him, that would be ‘racist’, so he’s I’ll say that he’s merely mistaken.
Anyway, you all remember when Reagan promised to fundamentally transform America, don’t you? Guess I’ll have to break out that tape and post a clip!
(Don’t hold your breath...)

I always wonder if Jonathan Capehart and Obama have ever "hooked up", or is Barack's type more like Pakistani/Indian "funny boys" such as Kal Penn.
I think Barry would be the girl in a Capeheart-Obama hookup...
I see a big clue to Reagan’s inner man, and his personal loves, aside from career and ambition, in his quietly and privately serving in the Army reserves during a time when that was almost looked down on, and was of no help to a man trying to make it as a star in entertainment and Hollywood.
Reagan was already doing well as a sports announcer when he started his military correspondence course in 1935, and he enlisted in the Cavalry the same year that he won a 7 year contract with Warner Brothers, 1937, by the end of 1939 he had already appeared in 19 films.
Reagan had a private life that we didn’t see, and his private life was the rugged life of a 1930s Cavalry officer serving his nation, which led to 9 years of uninterrupted military service at the same time that on the surface, he was working for wealth and recognition in the public eye in a glamorous business.
I guess we know that Jonathan Capeheart is definitely a member of the North American Media-Obama Love Association (NAMOLA)...
When the likes of Obama or Clinton are justifiably under attack, their allies circle the wagons. In the case of Clinton, they've completely rehabilitated him politically.
Meanwhile, the GOP will toss their best under the bus for a traffic violation, never to be seen or heard from again.
Ludicrous.
keep the faith FReeper. If the end should be upon us and I don’t believe it is, could we ask to be in better company? I think not. I am content to meet what comes while fighting for the best outcome for our people. Know you will too. Have a great weekend.
