All politicians are Narcissists?

Ok, I agree, but Obama is OFF THE CHARTS on this scale!

Obama is also the MOST polarizing politician in history. That some Democrats in Congress think Obama is wrong on a few things does NOT make Obama any “better” -— the fact that Democrats are resisting Obama-nation, for now, on some issues, only makes Obama a bit less dangerous!

“And David Horowitz is not helping the cause one bit.”

that is a completely wrong and untrue statement. His frontpagemag.com is one of the foremost conservative magazines. He also goes into lib universities and makes speeches where his very life is threatened to unmask the indoctrination. Let’s not throw him overboard because he writes one article that is less strident than what we like to read.

If you actually know all the good work Horowitz does, you would support him financially and in every other way, we need more like him.

Highly unlikely.

The real issue is that too much effort is being done to pacify those that have the solutions, a lot of money and influence has been planned and built up to safeguard the plan of destruction to the USA.

Every day, every minute there is a constant effort to profile, label, identify, an harass the legitimate forces that wish for the original way of America to return, starting with Sarah Palin.

An overwhelming mass of misguided American weaklings still prefer to kneel than stand, prefer the believe that EASY is the right thing to do, believe that life must be a superhighway and all they need to do is push a CRUISE button once a day to live and thrive.

Life is NOT simple, only the strong succeed, its natures way of guaranteeing the future of a species.

A weak America will die, it will cease to exist in the future generations, we must remove the problem that is weakening America, we must remove the splinter that is creating the blood poisoning.

For if we do not we will die. America was never meant to kneel before an emperor.

Maybe he can team up with the McCain daughter.

Maybe Horowitz is trying to get on The View also.

As we move forward, Obama faces increasingly tough choices in the wars against Islamic fascism...

How can I take this guy seriously when he is talking about issues that Mr. Obama denies are issues. Has he (Pres Obama) not said that we are not at war with Islam? Yet, somehow, 99% of the attacks on out nation and our people are Islamic...

I somewhat see what you mean.

I was commenting to someone yesterday that when I go up to someone who isn’t as informed as us, they would think I was kookoo for all the things that are legitimately true, but sound outrageous.

Baby steps.

Open your eyes, David. Consider the FACTS. Pay attention.

Bush never resembled Hitler except in the minds of ideological fanatics.

Regretably, Obama does. He is a Muslim. He is a Communist. And, the odds now are about 99-1, he is NOT an American. He hates America, and it clearly shows.

For starters, how about watching this video, taken mostly from BBC News clips, if you think his association with and identification with Communist/Muslim terrorists is merely theoretical.

Look it up. You've declared intellectual bankruptcy.

You could have spoken of legitimate policy concerns about this administration, instead you reach for a rhetorical nuke; it is a sign of bankruptcy, zero judgment, no proportion, no patriotism, and blind stupidity. Got it yet?

I can say as a conservative, that I started getting a feeling of a large object being lodged in my throat - about a year or two after George W. Bush was re-elected. My sixth sense was telling me that “the fix was in”. From that point on - watching Bush do nothing to protect our borders, watching the Republicans spend money like Democrats, watching the expansion of social programs, watching John McCain become our candidate - and watching the hastily choreographed financial crisis last fall days after McCain started rising in the polls (thanks to Sarah Palin), watching the media put Obama in office & no Republican “leadership” calling them out on it AND watching both the media and the GOP trying to crucify Sarah Palin since then - FROM THAT POINT ON - I have become convinced of it!

Conservatives are currently being demeaned and sidelined by BOTH parties!!! I have never seen things so clearly as I do now. We had better be “hysterical” and do something soon or kiss the United States of America goodbye!

He’s a marxist. Ineptitude means nothing when you have marxists controlling both houses of congress as well.

Just on his military slashing alone, he is more dangerous than any president, ever.

Obama is like a cult leader. And his mesmerizing influence over his zombie followers is scary. It's not a question of needing to calm down but to get organized for 2010 and roll back these disastrous policies. The bogeyman is not on the Right this time. His cult-like followers do look like the Manson girls sometimes. Glazed eyes, zombie adoration, strange giggling, swooning, ecstasies.

Is it even possible to exaggerate the slobbering love affair and zombified devotion to Obama?

I don't think this is the time to run that liberal meme about him just being a moderate reformer and pragmatic realist.

Yes, McCain was incompetent, in the General Election.

In the Primary Election, Obama ran against Hillary, who had the highest negatives of any politician, ever, in a Presidential Primary.

No. I am not about to be calm about taxes, irresponsible spending, incompetent decisions, and policies that danger the future of this country.

I expected typical tax and spend from this yahoo stuffed shirt. I didn’t expect it to be socialism on steriods.

I would be well pleased to see GOP leaders grow a pair and start acting like they give a damn.

“Horowitz is an agnostic.”

It Greek, from which the term is derived, it literally means “not knowing or I don’t know.” Of course, this is in reference to God. However, in his case it is safe to extrapolate his lack of knowledge to other matters. This fellow is clueless.

I just backed out of a Tea Party because it is being attended by quite a few black helicopter folks. People on the right who talk on the deep end will never turn anyone around. I do believe that this is where Mr. Horowitz is coming from . I’m not a moderate but I don’t suffer loons either.

Oh, yes, by all means, let’s not get excited. After all, the hysterical rants of the left have made sure to put their party in the minority in both houses of Congress, and has kept their candidate out of the White House... Oh, wait,... nevermind...

Mmm-hmmm.

George Bush thought the best way to deal with democrats was calmly and respectfully.

Look where that got us.
