unaccomplished? graduated with honors from havard…. constitutional law professor.. state senator, US sentaor… nominee for president. what the fuck have you done? you may not think he’d be a good president, but ru kidding me? what a freakin tool…
I know! I know!!! It’s a curious george t shirt. I saw them at Kohls yesterday, with the curious george dolls. I aksed my son if he wanted a curious george stuffed doll and he said Dad! that’s a fricken obama doll..
hmm… curious george? ru calling senator obama a monkey? nice.. very classy.. glad this is a blog of intellectuals discussing the virtues of their positions… instead of a bastion of people to vent their pent up racism… art, you are a putz. i would say your mother would be ashamed, but she is probably too busy blowing the joe the plumber to pay attention..
On the stump, you are probably a very good example of the type of person who will vote in several states for that jerk. Ayers taught the little communist well,,disorganize, disillusion, and lie like a dog. Say anything to get your way, Ruin the economy. Obama is the worst person to be POTUS since Germany had its Hitler.
first of all, drop the hitler shit, as i am a jew and it’s beyond offensive. if you bring up ayers, i bring up gordon liddy, another terrorist, whom john mccain calls a close friend. i know you have no response, because you are a hypocrite. stop with the hate and fear message of george bush. unlike the rest of you on this board, some of us have served our country. we have seen friends of all races and colors perish in battle. we know that this is the united states of america.. to say he is a communist is beyond ignorant. you have no facts, just repeat what you hear on fox news. fox who by the way did a smear piece about obama, led by a known anti-semite. furthermore, have you ever met mr. ayers, or reverend wright? do you have any first hand experiences, or are you relying on the shit you read on this website? i will say it again, it is your right as an american to say you don’t think obama is the right choice to be president. for you to comapre him to someone who murdered millions is a disgrace. whatever god you believe in, i pray you seek his forgiveness. or you could just go fuck yourself, which is probably faster..
just one more thing. mccain is proposing the same economic plan as bush. how the fuck is that going to solve the problem? you people are beyond stupid.. he is a fool. and if you think that palin, a religious zealot beyond belief is a friend of israel, you are all fools.
I never used the word “m—–y”. My god, that would insult Allah and the Messiah! What’s with all the “f” this and “f” that on this website… Don’t we have a moderator to block Democrats from posting?
If I put my bifockers on, and use my magnifying glass… i can just make out a reflection in the meat case behind this man… it.. looks.. like .. on the back of his jacket it says “AFSME”… Americans For Sarah Mccain… but what’s the “E” mean Ray?
Onthe stump
Dont come here and tell people what they can our can not say.So Obama chose all Marxist professors and sucked up to them BIG FUCKING ACOMPLISMENT. Hitler and Mussilini where elected. SO you are Jewish Big deal a lot of jews are communist and socilaist in America and care more about that doctrine than anything else.
and further more Fuck you you twisted little fuck you are full of it
Don’t let America become the South Side of Chicago!

I live in Illinois, just outside of Chicago. I live in the state that incubated the political career of Barack Obama and for that, as a resident of the State of Illinois and a conservative, I apologize. But this puts me in a unique position to afford you a glimpse of things to come for our nation should Barack Obama attain the Oval Office, and especially if Democrats maintain or increase their control in Congress. I present to the citizens of the United States the State of Illinois; a working model that illustrates the consequences of a government run by the Progressive-Left.
In 2003, five short years ago, the State of Illinois went blue; not light blue or royal blue but Daley Machine, Chicago Democrat, Progressive-Left cobalt blue. For decades our state existed in a symbiotic political state; the Daley Machine Chicago Democrats controlling Cook County and most of the lesser “urban areas” and the Illinois GOP holding sway in the collar counties and rural areas. But the failure (and I believe cowardice) of Republican Governor George Ryan to take one for the party by stepping down before he was convicted of corruption, ushered in a dark era of Progressive-Left, Democrat political control in Illinois. Democrats now hold all statewide offices and control both houses of the legislature. This being said, everything that has happened since 2003 is attributable to Democrat and Progressive-Left action and leadership.
The governor of the State of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, has an approval rating of 4 percent. Rasmussen Reports ranks Blagojevich as the country’s least popular governor. He is embroiled in the Tony Rezko/Stuart Levine corruption probe. Levine pled guilty and Rezko was convicted for scheming to obtain kickbacks from investment firms seeking business from two state boards. The governor’s wife, Patricia, was a business partner of Rezko. Of course, we know the name Tony Rezko from his shady relationship with Barack Obama.
Under Blagojevich, the state’s unfunded pension debt is the largest in the United States. In 2005 that amounted to $35 billion. But that didn’t stop Blagojevich from raiding the State University Pension System to the tune of $1.2 billion in order to “balance the budget,” something that still eludes the governor. Additionally, Blagojevich raised licensing fees on auto dealers almost 20-fold, required small businesses to print all of their own forms when filing state paperwork and proposed raising the fee for the Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card from $50 to $500. He said the increased FOID fee, “…was necessary so people would think twice about wanting to own a gun.” Of course, it also put the ability to purchase a gun – to defend oneself with a legally purchased firearm – out of range for many middle and lower-middle income families, the Second Amendment be damned.
Because of the ever expanding entitlement mentality possessed by the Chicago City Council, Chicago now has a $420 million budget deficit for the year and the highest sales tax in the United States at 9 percent. The sales tax is causing Chicago residents to flee to the suburbs to buy big ticket items, thus decreasing the tax revenue earmarked for the city. The $420 million budget deficit – hot on the heels of a 2006 $217 million budget deficit – has caused Mayor Richard M. Daley to institute mandatory furlough days for non-critical, union, city employees, as well as numerous other gimmicks to generate revenue. Shedding surplus entitlement programs and/or trimming the budget of unnecessary programs or agencies would make too much sense.
The City of Chicago, being the caring, diverse, tolerant, progressive city that it is, has achieved a rare distinction among American cities: Chicago is the new murder capitol of the United States. Chicago has experienced 426 homicides this year to date. This compares to 417 in New York City and 302 in Los Angeles, California (both of those cities have Progressive-Left friendly mayors and city councils as well). In fact, Chicago is home to a number of fine, upstanding young Progressive citizens in the form of a plethora of street gangs. From the Latin Kings to the Gangster Disciples, the Insane Deuces to the Insane Gangster Satan Disciples, street gangs that deal drugs, enforce protection schemes and offer a culture of fast-living, easy money and early death reign in Chicago’s neighborhoods. Meanwhile, owning a handgun in Chicago is forbidden and Mayor Daley has shamefully used the murder of a young child to call for a complete ban on civilian owned firearms, usurping the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Incidentally, the Chicago City Council has also passed a resolution that makes Chicago a “nuclear weapon free zone,” so we’ve got that going for us.
Chicago’s education system is also a jewel. Chicago’s Board of Education pats itself on the back for achieving a 51 percent graduation rate, while sending “graduates” to institutions of higher learning whose proficiency in reading, writing, math and science is arguably insufficient. In fact, an inordinate number of Chicago Public School graduates must take rudimentary classes in math and English in order to be fully accepted to College or University. Violence, including gang related shootings, is not unheard of in the schools of Chicago. In fact, there are special police that are assigned to schools throughout the city and metal detectors adorn many a school’s doors.
To be fair, this disturbing reality is more the result of union interference in matters of curriculum creation, teacher quality and classroom instruction and special interest group and civil rights organization influence and interference – along with parental apathy – than it is anything else. Chicago Public School Chief Executive Officer Arne Duncan has made an admirable attempt to maximize the learning experience for Chicago’s students and teachers alike in the face of special interest tyranny, even if he has had to do so with one hand tied behind his back, the other under the critical and political eye of Mayor Daley.
And as Chicago, the city, becomes inebriated in decay, Mayor Daley and the Cook County Board are feverishly trying to salvage their entitlement-based regimes by capitalizing on the process of “community rehabilitation” – the exportation of residents who previously lived in “undesirable,” non-revenue generating “affordable housing” to the collar counties and suburbs. As old high-rise “affordable housing” units are destroyed to make way for the tax-revenue generating condominiums, townhouses and Olympic venues, the stench of Progressive-Left entitlement, along with the consequences its ideology brings, is infecting the rest of the state in a destructive way.
An aggressive “urbanization” of the once peaceful and amiable Chicago suburbs is causing a rise in problems traditionally found in urban areas: struggling schools, overcrowding, crime, traffic congestion, elevated costs of living, municipal budgetary woes, stagnant development, and ideological confrontation, complete with special interest influence from outside the community. Just as with the National Education Association’s encroachment upon local control of schools and their curriculums, the “urbanization” of the suburbs, collar counties and progressively (no pun intended) the rural areas of Illinois is facilitating a culture of urban morality; a society ruled by moral relativism, victimhood and the caretaker nanny state.
We here is Illinois understand the pitfalls of a one party, Progressive-Left, socialist system of government. In a state where the largest urban locale accepts as unavoidable the notion that dead men can vote, sometimes twice, the art of committing voter fraud and eliminating opposition candidates – sometimes of the same party – is handed down from generation to generation in a quest to maintain a stranglehold on power for “the machine.” From precinct captains, aldermen and community organizers to special interest activists, racially biased religious leaders and former Weather Underground terrorists, Illinois, because of the unyielding aggression of the Progressive-Left, has been transformed from a land where individual rights were guarded and constitutional liberty was valued at all costs – the Land of Lincoln – to the home of religious zealots like Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Fr. Michael Pfleger and the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and political opportunists like Jesse Jackson, Dick Durbin, Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama. Conservatives are left with no voice on the national stage and small quarter in the state where we live.
This is just a limited glimpse into what it is like to live in a cobalt blue state; where Progressive-Left Democrats wield the tenets of socialism – including wealth redistribution and the limitation of constitutional rights – with impunity. Should the voters of America foolishly opt to discard liberty, opportunity and self-reliance in a self-centered quest for unearned wealth and a fraudulently engineered societal equality, we will come to rue the rhetoric of “hope and change,“ just as we will all soon be weeping for the freedoms we so imprudently cast aside.
Government must come before politics. The sanctity of the Constitution must trump political ideology. Country first.

onthestump – I am a jew and served in the military. Read some history, Obama’s climb is very similar to what happened in Germany – bad economy, racial divide and rhetoric. Racism here is what he has used from day one. Leveraging white guilt of the past to gain votes, and establish an entitlement culture. No one says that black people are racist by voting Obama and not McCain – do they. Racism has one avenue in this country.
Earlier this year the greatest thoroughbred ever created by GOD; a creature that personified perfection, that could not loose, lost the biggest race of his life.
America has seen her finest hour, and this is most certainly not it. Like the good neighbor who is taken advantage of by people with less moral values and selfishness, so too is Obama engaged in his hell bent mission to revolutionize our country. All the presidents, Washington, FDR, Reagan, fought to make us what we are today, and this man, who spent 20 years listening to the hate-mongering of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who started his political campaign in Bill Ayers living room, who had his Harvard education partially funded by a Saudi Arabian billionaire, and has a racist wife, seeks to run for the office of President….Words escape me, and I must pause for reflection of how life once was in America…a land where faith was important, respected etc…where country came first, not “spread the wealth”….the gall that this man has, to think he, and he alone, is a panacea for all the world’s ills is beyond the pale……i pray to god that our people, those left that aren’t seduced by this madman, will come to america’s rescue in her moment of need, and set her free from the horrific consequences of and obama presidency……Even Joe Biden forcasted it when he said,….”we will make decisions that you may not like or agree with, but remember this day and stay with us…we will be down in the polls and you will wonder why etc….” don’t be afraid to critcize Obama….he is playing on the infamous “white guilt”…..we don’t have to have “White guilt” since slavery is long gone, and we are equal…..VOTE for the person who will continue to make this country strong and secure….
Not related to the post, but this is interesting just before the elections and it’s not be discussed nationally. The Orlando Sentinel newspaper, Sunday 2 November, page A5, has an article “Brazil has deal to seek oil in Cuban waters near Keys” approximately 100 miles from Key West. The article was removed from the Orlando online edition of the newspaper, and I
can’t find it with a search of the AP news. Here is a similar article from the AP, at
All I can figure is the Orlando Sentinel is a liberal newspaper owned by the Chicago tribune, and the Sentinel has officially endorsed Obama and all the Democrats up for election. Congress has been against drilling off the coast of Florida and now Brazil will be, with Cuba reselling it on the world market. Next thing Congress will ban the US from buying our oil from Cuba…. How about some reporter ask McCain and Obama what they think of Brazil and Cuba slant drilling for our oil, that the Democrats wouldn’t allow US companies to drill for.

Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow Clinton supporters out. I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over. I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC. The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you. We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a Clinton or McCain supporter who just switched our support for Obama.” We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence. We did this the whole primary and it worked. Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out TV, news, websites, etc. This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues. Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the you tube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support. People make posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad.” That’s the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending. We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over, just enough to make real clear politics look scary to a McCain supporter. It’s worked, although the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead. See, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, and become “sheeple.” The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. That’s due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple. Our donors are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied; Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust me, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill O’reilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. It’s because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft. This is why nothing sticks. The operation is massive; the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results. There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up. Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all. There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm. The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government; this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as America, so I am now supporting John McCain. Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well it’s because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool. this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that it’s not realized. We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, it’s a lie. David is very smart, but it’s a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence. It’s not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And it’s a hill to climb. I will be quitting my post on NOV 5th and my vote will be for John McCain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me. I wish you all well, and good luck. PS my name is not really Sarah. But I am a female and I understand your plight.
Is this for real? Who knows, but it sounds believable. It is a sad commentary on Obama that this even sounds believable, don’t you think? Make sure you get out and vote, and take all your friends along!
Head Games Coming Your Way
Three things the Obama-media will do:
(1) Calls for McCain to just give up and quit, because the race is over.
(2) Wild claims of Obama winning states that shock and surprise you
(3) Repeated insistence that blacks and young people will decide this election, and they are all going to vote in record numbers for Obama.
Brett Says:
October 31, 2008 at 3:15 am There is one concern I have about election night… if anyone remembers 2000… media outlets were calling states early for certain candidates while the polls were still open… as a result some people didn’t vote. Also, it’s a fact that Democrats are more likely to take the time to take part in an exit poll than a Republican… I suspect the MSM… will pump this up…and may try and sway the election. http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/31/three-hings-the-obamedia-will-do-to-depress-republican-turnout-and-help-obama/
you got rage issues dude. i’m a twisted fuck?? you are a nut job conspiracy freak, who probably still lives with his parents. governor failin would probably refer to you as a special needs child… give it up, your gonna blow a gasket.
Obama hates the United States of America and Israel. He is a racist and a Liar it is that simple. If the hippies and slackers end up voting this ghost of a man into office, we will all pay the price for it. I graduated from Punahou the year after him and knew Obama as Hussein (yes , that’s right). He was a very proud and loud member of Islam. Anyone who says he isn’t or at least wasn’t has bought into this whole Obama lie. He was also very embarrassed to be of mix race. He received more attention as an angry black man which played well with all the stupid girls that where trying to rebel against thier parents. Everyone that knew him at school knows the truth. As the son of a military officer, i was probably the only non hippie attending Punahou during the early ’80s. We have got to keep this shit heel from taking office
I think the key thing to understand about this website is that people here are frustrated. They see Obama leading in the polls by a sizable margin, and feel marginalized. Thus they seek out a community of like-minded people, this site, and let their anger get the best of them, since no one will hold them accountable for their words here.
It’s alright, soon, living under an Obama presidency, they can let fear leave their hearts. While they may not agree with Obama’s policies, at least they will begin to respect Obama’s character and legitimacy. That day will be here soon, and I look forward to it.
Jayson
That is cool you knew Obama in High School. Thanx for your Insite.
My Dad was an Army officer for 27yrs .Yes I am an Army brat. I turn 18 in 72 when the draft ened. I was never really against the war in Nam but I had both sides of the issue shoved down my throat. I did the hippie thing but not the anti war thing and I could see through the professors while in University when some of them totted Socilaist ideals.
Obama is a Marxist period.
I visited Honaloulou once for 10 days . Hawaii is somthing else.
You’ve posted an impressive piece of propaganda here, sounds kinda like “you have no hope, you cannot win, give it up.” Kinda like Tokyo Rose.
“since no one will hold them accountable for their words here.”
This is interesting, is anyone being held accountable for what has been said and done to the image and reputation of Governor Palin, or the rifling through of Joe the plumbers personal info?
Your dad did not serve in the army. He as a communist organizer. In addition he liked to fuck goats and sheep. He did go to vietnam, but only to have sex with young hookers. Your mother is a crack whore. Based on this website, because I write it, it must be true. FUCK YOU GEORGE>.. ..
WOW onthe stump
I do not know how you can discredit yourself anymore than that. In addition now we know how you really feel about the Military that serve and have served the USA.
Yeah Onthestump ;
that was a flasback to Highschool 69-70 and 71-72 when my dad was in Viet Nam and my days at University. Xept back then there was no crack cociane and you forgot to call my Dad a baby killer.
Yeah I heard that all before , many times back then.
Yeah OK we know you support the troops just like Obama dose , Yeah right
My Dad was the leathal one. He was paid by the USA to kill commies in Korea and in the Republic of South Viet Nam in 62-63 & in 70-71.
Gez I should of made it a family tradition and we should all make it an American tradition! Maybe it is not to late for that to become a tradition again.
But in the mean time we will all just have to go to the polls to kill them there , this time.
God Save America and the US constitution
Hope all you young dems are comfortable, moving back in with mom and dad if obama gets elected, cuz your jobs are history, keep believing because you are young and impressionabile, that you’ll get a mortatage @5.75 % and your employer really gives a shit you.
Bill Bill Obama will give them a house what you talkin about,
Family values for ?
and besides Obama is just gonna print up more Bills as in money in Fact there will be no more Bills as in electric , gas , rent or mortgage Bills will cease to exist . In fact we will all be forced into the new speak and all be having to call you William because Bill will not be allowed to be uttered No More No More
onthestump YOU tell these assholes on here. They are just mad because a bi-racial man won the race. Even if it was a good solid black republican running in the race none of you would have voted for him either. The bottom line is that it is a race thing. Get over it folks!!!
Really “fuckrepublicans”? That is the perfect example of the one way racism that rules this nation. You say white people are racist for not voting for a black man, and instead voting for a white man. What about all of the African Americans that voted for Obama? Wouldn’t that make them just as racist….or maybe MORE racist than whites, simply because they will come out and say they voted for Barack “because he’s black!”
I concur with onthestump. “Unaccomplished”? Not at all. You simply don’t like the threat he represents to the neocon New Order. And now that he’s won the election you are all having hysterics as if the end of the world is coming. Obama never promised a “socialist utopia”, and will be working in the confines of our government in the normal, legal manner. Which is more than I can say about some people. We will have a left of center government in this country for four years, and some liberal policies may be implemented here and there. But it’s not as if the Bolsheviks have taken over as you would have people believe.
P.S. what makes you think the shopper in the store is unaccomplished? He could the head of the Physics Department at Northwestern, for all you know.
To George, he “chose Marxist professors”? The history, liberal arts, and law professors of major universities often are very leftist. I had some Marxist professors at UCSD, known as the academic home of Herbert Marcuse and Angela Davis (both before my time). I also had some very non-Marxist professors. Although the political center of academe does skew left of say, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, it does not necessarily inform the teaching process. University students are not supposed to absorb whatever the prof says, like a sponge; they are supposed to learn how to think things through for themselves and form their own opinions.
obami the commie won so all you racist negroes can stop whining for a hand out and blaming caucasians for your own short comings.as for the rest of us hang on to you hats boys, president bongo ie going to give us one hell of a ride all down hill.bongo and his pals dodd,frank, and kennedy created this affirmative action market melt down and you can bet that what ever they do will only make it worse.commiecrats only know how to make things worse FDR made a ression into depression then after winning ww2 he lost the peace.dems gave us nuclear armed north korea,iran and cuba.what next,hand america over to the mullahs?
Ok, I just found this, I know I’m late, but I don’t care. onthestump, you are an idiot. So you’re Jewish. Good for you, you traitor. Bush has been to this point the last major supporter in our government of your fellow jews in Isreal. Do you think Obama is going to support them? He will if he’s smart, but then again, I don’t think he will. Just look at the whole Gaza thing that just went down. The idiot Palestinians are attacking a nation that most likely has weapons that nobody else in the world can design yet, much less build them. You know that nifty little gun adapter that can be used for assault rifles, pistols, even grenade launchers, and lets you shoot around corners? You know who made that? Not an engineer, not a tech, a police commander in Isreal. Several years ago, Isreal made the first optic processor for computers. Optic processor. No one else has still made one.
Isreal makes all of this stuff, so you know they can make a lot more stuff they are saying nothing about. And your new buddy is most likely going to cut support to them so that he can pump more money into the welfare fund. Do you have a job? If so, you’re about to be taxed pretty good to pay for more welfare. Do you live in Illinois? If not, I do. I can tell you right off, he has done nothing good for that state whatsoever.
Just know this, you are stupid, because you chose to support someone who will most likely kick off WWIII for his welfare system.
Oh, and by the way, if you actually had been following the news and paying attention, you would have realized that for quite a while now, Bush had been trying to fix many things that are messed up, but guess what, the house is primarily Democratic, so that was a no go. Who has been controlling the media for quite a while now boys and girls? Anybody? The Democrats.
In regards to – ‘drop that hitler talk, i’m jewish and its offensive’; what gives you the right to censor what people say because you’re a jew? i would think the last thing any thinking jew would want is for people to forget about the mistakes that caused hitler to come to power. I’m part german, so i should be just as offended and censor you or tell you what you may or may not say based on my ethnicity? I’m always amaized how the radicals can scream freedom of speech and rights and blah blah, but they’re the first ones to bring out the handcuffs of censorship when the free thinking goes against their perceived desires “freedom of thought, so long as it agrees with want i think i want”.
I’ve met Barak, he’s a nice guy and i like him – he’s also completely going to hose this country and its economy. Not because he’s dumb or evil – but because he’s a politician. Politicians do even what they know is harmful – if they believe it will get them re-elected. Governing the masses is sort of like being a parent to a preen. If your 13 year old daughter comes to you and demands you buy her a bottle of vodka so she can have unprotected sex with a 28 year old newly released fellon – hopefully you make the decision based on what is best for her, not what will make her like you. This is the fundemental problem with democracy – it is rule by the mindless masses driven by their own fears and beliefs. None of us are as dumb as all of us. Tell the lemmings what they want to hear, and you’ll get the votes. Its interesting times, i was a school kid when the cold war ended and the berlin wall came down. Now the USSR is a capitalist system and we’re the USSA – Union of Socialist States of America. (see cover of newsweek 2/09) Who’d have thought that would happen in what….20 years?

On the stump, you are probably a very good example of the type of person who will vote in several states for that jerk. Ayers taught the little communist well,,disorganize, disillusion, and lie like a dog. Say anything to get your way, Ruin the economy. Obama is the worst person to be POTUS since Germany had its Hitler.
November 2, 2008 at 3:16 am
angrynana,
first of all, drop the hitler shit, as i am a jew and it’s beyond offensive. if you bring up ayers, i bring up gordon liddy, another terrorist, whom john mccain calls a close friend. i know you have no response, because you are a hypocrite. stop with the hate and fear message of george bush. unlike the rest of you on this board, some of us have served our country. we have seen friends of all races and colors perish in battle. we know that this is the united states of america.. to say he is a communist is beyond ignorant. you have no facts, just repeat what you hear on fox news. fox who by the way did a smear piece about obama, led by a known anti-semite. furthermore, have you ever met mr. ayers, or reverend wright? do you have any first hand experiences, or are you relying on the shit you read on this website? i will say it again, it is your right as an american to say you don’t think obama is the right choice to be president. for you to comapre him to someone who murdered millions is a disgrace. whatever god you believe in, i pray you seek his forgiveness. or you could just go fuck yourself, which is probably faster..
November 2, 2008 at 3:19 am
just one more thing. mccain is proposing the same economic plan as bush. how the fuck is that going to solve the problem? you people are beyond stupid.. he is a fool. and if you think that palin, a religious zealot beyond belief is a friend of israel, you are all fools.

GIRD YOUR LOINS!
Obama is the least accomplished person to ever run for the white house. THIS IS A FACT. That is what is meant by UNACCOMPLISHED.
When asked if Barry would run for President, Michelle Obama chimed in with “No, he hadn’t done anything yet”
BIDEN SAID he did not have enough experience.
taking classes and community organizing does not count much. His community organizing accomplished NOTHING. VOTING PRESENT accomplished nothing.
How is the weather underground?

Don’t let America become the South Side of Chicago!
By Choman
I live in Illinois, just outside of Chicago. I live in the state that incubated the political career of Barack Obama and for that, as a resident of the State of Illinois and a conservative, I apologize. But this puts me in a unique position to afford you a glimpse of things to come for our nation should Barack Obama attain the Oval Office, and especially if Democrats maintain or increase their control in Congress. I present to the citizens of the United States the State of Illinois; a working model that illustrates the consequences of a government run by the Progressive-Left.
In 2003, five short years ago, the State of Illinois went blue; not light blue or royal blue but Daley Machine, Chicago Democrat, Progressive-Left cobalt blue. For decades our state existed in a symbiotic political state; the Daley Machine Chicago Democrats controlling Cook County and most of the lesser “urban areas” and the Illinois GOP holding sway in the collar counties and rural areas. But the failure (and I believe cowardice) of Republican Governor George Ryan to take one for the party by stepping down before he was convicted of corruption, ushered in a dark era of Progressive-Left, Democrat political control in Illinois. Democrats now hold all statewide offices and control both houses of the legislature. This being said, everything that has happened since 2003 is attributable to Democrat and Progressive-Left action and leadership.
The governor of the State of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, has an approval rating of 4 percent. Rasmussen Reports ranks Blagojevich as the country’s least popular governor. He is embroiled in the Tony Rezko/Stuart Levine corruption probe. Levine pled guilty and Rezko was convicted for scheming to obtain kickbacks from investment firms seeking business from two state boards. The governor’s wife, Patricia, was a business partner of Rezko. Of course, we know the name Tony Rezko from his shady relationship with Barack Obama.
Under Blagojevich, the state’s unfunded pension debt is the largest in the United States. In 2005 that amounted to $35 billion. But that didn’t stop Blagojevich from raiding the State University Pension System to the tune of $1.2 billion in order to “balance the budget,” something that still eludes the governor. Additionally, Blagojevich raised licensing fees on auto dealers almost 20-fold, required small businesses to print all of their own forms when filing state paperwork and proposed raising the fee for the Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card from $50 to $500. He said the increased FOID fee, “…was necessary so people would think twice about wanting to own a gun.” Of course, it also put the ability to purchase a gun – to defend oneself with a legally purchased firearm – out of range for many middle and lower-middle income families, the Second Amendment be damned.
Because of the ever expanding entitlement mentality possessed by the Chicago City Council, Chicago now has a $420 million budget deficit for the year and the highest sales tax in the United States at 9 percent. The sales tax is causing Chicago residents to flee to the suburbs to buy big ticket items, thus decreasing the tax revenue earmarked for the city. The $420 million budget deficit – hot on the heels of a 2006 $217 million budget deficit – has caused Mayor Richard M. Daley to institute mandatory furlough days for non-critical, union, city employees, as well as numerous other gimmicks to generate revenue. Shedding surplus entitlement programs and/or trimming the budget of unnecessary programs or agencies would make too much sense.
The City of Chicago, being the caring, diverse, tolerant, progressive city that it is, has achieved a rare distinction among American cities: Chicago is the new murder capitol of the United States. Chicago has experienced 426 homicides this year to date. This compares to 417 in New York City and 302 in Los Angeles, California (both of those cities have Progressive-Left friendly mayors and city councils as well). In fact, Chicago is home to a number of fine, upstanding young Progressive citizens in the form of a plethora of street gangs. From the Latin Kings to the Gangster Disciples, the Insane Deuces to the Insane Gangster Satan Disciples, street gangs that deal drugs, enforce protection schemes and offer a culture of fast-living, easy money and early death reign in Chicago’s neighborhoods. Meanwhile, owning a handgun in Chicago is forbidden and Mayor Daley has shamefully used the murder of a young child to call for a complete ban on civilian owned firearms, usurping the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Incidentally, the Chicago City Council has also passed a resolution that makes Chicago a “nuclear weapon free zone,” so we’ve got that going for us.
Chicago’s education system is also a jewel. Chicago’s Board of Education pats itself on the back for achieving a 51 percent graduation rate, while sending “graduates” to institutions of higher learning whose proficiency in reading, writing, math and science is arguably insufficient. In fact, an inordinate number of Chicago Public School graduates must take rudimentary classes in math and English in order to be fully accepted to College or University. Violence, including gang related shootings, is not unheard of in the schools of Chicago. In fact, there are special police that are assigned to schools throughout the city and metal detectors adorn many a school’s doors.
To be fair, this disturbing reality is more the result of union interference in matters of curriculum creation, teacher quality and classroom instruction and special interest group and civil rights organization influence and interference – along with parental apathy – than it is anything else. Chicago Public School Chief Executive Officer Arne Duncan has made an admirable attempt to maximize the learning experience for Chicago’s students and teachers alike in the face of special interest tyranny, even if he has had to do so with one hand tied behind his back, the other under the critical and political eye of Mayor Daley.
And as Chicago, the city, becomes inebriated in decay, Mayor Daley and the Cook County Board are feverishly trying to salvage their entitlement-based regimes by capitalizing on the process of “community rehabilitation” – the exportation of residents who previously lived in “undesirable,” non-revenue generating “affordable housing” to the collar counties and suburbs. As old high-rise “affordable housing” units are destroyed to make way for the tax-revenue generating condominiums, townhouses and Olympic venues, the stench of Progressive-Left entitlement, along with the consequences its ideology brings, is infecting the rest of the state in a destructive way.
An aggressive “urbanization” of the once peaceful and amiable Chicago suburbs is causing a rise in problems traditionally found in urban areas: struggling schools, overcrowding, crime, traffic congestion, elevated costs of living, municipal budgetary woes, stagnant development, and ideological confrontation, complete with special interest influence from outside the community. Just as with the National Education Association’s encroachment upon local control of schools and their curriculums, the “urbanization” of the suburbs, collar counties and progressively (no pun intended) the rural areas of Illinois is facilitating a culture of urban morality; a society ruled by moral relativism, victimhood and the caretaker nanny state.
We here is Illinois understand the pitfalls of a one party, Progressive-Left, socialist system of government. In a state where the largest urban locale accepts as unavoidable the notion that dead men can vote, sometimes twice, the art of committing voter fraud and eliminating opposition candidates – sometimes of the same party – is handed down from generation to generation in a quest to maintain a stranglehold on power for “the machine.” From precinct captains, aldermen and community organizers to special interest activists, racially biased religious leaders and former Weather Underground terrorists, Illinois, because of the unyielding aggression of the Progressive-Left, has been transformed from a land where individual rights were guarded and constitutional liberty was valued at all costs – the Land of Lincoln – to the home of religious zealots like Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Fr. Michael Pfleger and the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and political opportunists like Jesse Jackson, Dick Durbin, Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama. Conservatives are left with no voice on the national stage and small quarter in the state where we live.
This is just a limited glimpse into what it is like to live in a cobalt blue state; where Progressive-Left Democrats wield the tenets of socialism – including wealth redistribution and the limitation of constitutional rights – with impunity. Should the voters of America foolishly opt to discard liberty, opportunity and self-reliance in a self-centered quest for unearned wealth and a fraudulently engineered societal equality, we will come to rue the rhetoric of “hope and change,“ just as we will all soon be weeping for the freedoms we so imprudently cast aside.
Government must come before politics. The sanctity of the Constitution must trump political ideology. Country first.

onthestump – I am a jew and served in the military. Read some history, Obama’s climb is very similar to what happened in Germany – bad economy, racial divide and rhetoric. Racism here is what he has used from day one. Leveraging white guilt of the past to gain votes, and establish an entitlement culture. No one says that black people are racist by voting Obama and not McCain – do they. Racism has one avenue in this country.

How did that happen?

America has seen her finest hour, and this is most certainly not it. Like the good neighbor who is taken advantage of by people with less moral values and selfishness, so too is Obama engaged in his hell bent mission to revolutionize our country. All the presidents, Washington, FDR, Reagan, fought to make us what we are today, and this man, who spent 20 years listening to the hate-mongering of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who started his political campaign in Bill Ayers living room, who had his Harvard education partially funded by a Saudi Arabian billionaire, and has a racist wife, seeks to run for the office of President….Words escape me, and I must pause for reflection of how life once was in America…a land where faith was important, respected etc…where country came first, not “spread the wealth”….the gall that this man has, to think he, and he alone, is a panacea for all the world’s ills is beyond the pale……i pray to god that our people, those left that aren’t seduced by this madman, will come to america’s rescue in her moment of need, and set her free from the horrific consequences of and obama presidency……Even Joe Biden forcasted it when he said,….”we will make decisions that you may not like or agree with, but remember this day and stay with us…we will be down in the polls and you will wonder why etc….” don’t be afraid to critcize Obama….he is playing on the infamous “white guilt”…..we don’t have to have “White guilt” since slavery is long gone, and we are equal…..VOTE for the person who will continue to make this country strong and secure….
God bless us all….

Not related to the post, but this is interesting just before the elections and it’s not be discussed nationally. The Orlando Sentinel newspaper, Sunday 2 November, page A5, has an article “Brazil has deal to seek oil in Cuban waters near Keys” approximately 100 miles from Key West. The article was removed from the Orlando online edition of the newspaper, and I
can’t find it with a search of the AP news. Here is a similar article from the AP, at
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/11/01/news/CB-Cuba-Brazil.php
All I can figure is the Orlando Sentinel is a liberal newspaper owned by the Chicago tribune, and the Sentinel has officially endorsed Obama and all the Democrats up for election. Congress has been against drilling off the coast of Florida and now Brazil will be, with Cuba reselling it on the world market. Next thing Congress will ban the US from buying our oil from Cuba…. How about some reporter ask McCain and Obama what they think of Brazil and Cuba slant drilling for our oil, that the Democrats wouldn’t allow US companies to drill for.

Confessions of an Obama Worker
October 27, 2008 at 5:04 am by Sarah P.
Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow Clinton supporters out. I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over. I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC. The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you. We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a Clinton or McCain supporter who just switched our support for Obama.” We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence. We did this the whole primary and it worked. Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out TV, news, websites, etc. This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues. Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the you tube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support. People make posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad.” That’s the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending. We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over, just enough to make real clear politics look scary to a McCain supporter. It’s worked, although the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead. See, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, and become “sheeple.” The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. That’s due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple. Our donors are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied; Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust me, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill O’reilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. It’s because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft. This is why nothing sticks. The operation is massive; the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results. There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up. Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all. There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm. The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government; this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as America, so I am now supporting John McCain. Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well it’s because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool. this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that it’s not realized. We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, it’s a lie. David is very smart, but it’s a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence. It’s not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And it’s a hill to climb. I will be quitting my post on NOV 5th and my vote will be for John McCain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me. I wish you all well, and good luck. PS my name is not really Sarah. But I am a female and I understand your plight.
Is this for real? Who knows, but it sounds believable. It is a sad commentary on Obama that this even sounds believable, don’t you think? Make sure you get out and vote, and take all your friends along!
Head Games Coming Your Way
Three things the Obama-media will do:
(1) Calls for McCain to just give up and quit, because the race is over.
(2) Wild claims of Obama winning states that shock and surprise you
(3) Repeated insistence that blacks and young people will decide this election, and they are all going to vote in record numbers for Obama.
Brett Says:
October 31, 2008 at 3:15 am There is one concern I have about election night… if anyone remembers 2000… media outlets were calling states early for certain candidates while the polls were still open… as a result some people didn’t vote. Also, it’s a fact that Democrats are more likely to take the time to take part in an exit poll than a Republican… I suspect the MSM… will pump this up…and may try and sway the election.

Obama hates the United States of America and Israel. He is a racist and a Liar it is that simple. If the hippies and slackers end up voting this ghost of a man into office, we will all pay the price for it. I graduated from Punahou the year after him and knew Obama as Hussein (yes , that’s right). He was a very proud and loud member of Islam. Anyone who says he isn’t or at least wasn’t has bought into this whole Obama lie. He was also very embarrassed to be of mix race. He received more attention as an angry black man which played well with all the stupid girls that where trying to rebel against thier parents. Everyone that knew him at school knows the truth. As the son of a military officer, i was probably the only non hippie attending Punahou during the early ’80s. We have got to keep this shit heel from taking office

Jayson,
Do you live with George and his mom? You are a fucking tool. The best part of you ran down your momma’s leg.
November 3, 2008 at 1:18 am
one more thing for concerned new yorker,
if you despise antisemitism, why would you be on this website, where so many of the comments are racist? ru just full of shit? a hypocrite? or both…
November 3, 2008 at 4:48 am
I think the key thing to understand about this website is that people here are frustrated. They see Obama leading in the polls by a sizable margin, and feel marginalized. Thus they seek out a community of like-minded people, this site, and let their anger get the best of them, since no one will hold them accountable for their words here.
It’s alright, soon, living under an Obama presidency, they can let fear leave their hearts. While they may not agree with Obama’s policies, at least they will begin to respect Obama’s character and legitimacy. That day will be here soon, and I look forward to it.
November 3, 2008 at 6:06 am
Normal people vote for McCain.
November 3, 2008 at 8:51 am
Hey Bill,
The Polls are way off. RCP had Obama by +11 in NH. Hillary won by +3. The polls said Obama would take OH and PA. Hill won PA by +10 and OH by +10.
Obama did not win a single battleground state. Right Now PA is in play and McCain/Palin will take it. Even Kerry won PA.
You can’t buy and election. That’s what people are saying about Obama’s INFOMERCIAL.
The PUMAS are everywhere are are crossing over and bringing other dems with them.
We are joyous at the prospect of defeating the Marxists Messiah.
MAC is BACK
McCain/Palin 08

Why is anyone letting this person make you feel like you have to defend this website?
Let ‘em rattle. It won’t change anyone’s mind. Aren’t most of us just skipping those posts now?

That is cool you knew Obama in High School. Thanx for your Insite.
My Dad was an Army officer for 27yrs .Yes I am an Army brat. I turn 18 in 72 when the draft ened. I was never really against the war in Nam but I had both sides of the issue shoved down my throat. I did the hippie thing but not the anti war thing and I could see through the professors while in University when some of them totted Socilaist ideals.
Obama is a Marxist period.
I visited Honaloulou once for 10 days . Hawaii is somthing else.
November 3, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Bill, thank you so much for your concern.. McCain/Palin will win tomorrow because he is the BETTER candidate….. period…
November 3, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Wow Bill,
You’ve posted an impressive piece of propaganda here, sounds kinda like “you have no hope, you cannot win, give it up.” Kinda like Tokyo Rose.
“since no one will hold them accountable for their words here.”
This is interesting, is anyone being held accountable for what has been said and done to the image and reputation of Governor Palin, or the rifling through of Joe the plumbers personal info?
November 3, 2008 at 3:42 pm
George,
Your dad did not serve in the army. He as a communist organizer. In addition he liked to fuck goats and sheep. He did go to vietnam, but only to have sex with young hookers. Your mother is a crack whore. Based on this website, because I write it, it must be true. FUCK YOU GEORGE>.. ..
November 3, 2008 at 4:02 pm
WOW onthe stump
I do not know how you can discredit yourself anymore than that. In addition now we know how you really feel about the Military that serve and have served the USA.
November 3, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Yeah Onthestump ;
that was a flasback to Highschool 69-70 and 71-72 when my dad was in Viet Nam and my days at University. Xept back then there was no crack cociane and you forgot to call my Dad a baby killer.
Yeah I heard that all before , many times back then.
Yeah OK we know you support the troops just like Obama dose , Yeah right
November 3, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Dude, you are lethal.
November 3, 2008 at 9:21 pm
xax DUDE
My Dad was the leathal one. He was paid by the USA to kill commies in Korea and in the Republic of South Viet Nam in 62-63 & in 70-71.
Gez I should of made it a family tradition and we should all make it an American tradition! Maybe it is not to late for that to become a tradition again.
But in the mean time we will all just have to go to the polls to kill them there , this time.
God Save America and the US constitution
November 3, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Hope all you young dems are comfortable, moving back in with mom and dad if obama gets elected, cuz your jobs are history, keep believing because you are young and impressionabile, that you’ll get a mortatage @5.75 % and your employer really gives a shit you.
November 3, 2008 at 9:46 pm

oh, ONTHESTUMP: why are you dragging mothers into this? your mom just called me, and said she wished she would have been pro-choice (sorry)
November 6, 2008 at 4:35 pm
onthestump YOU tell these assholes on here. They are just mad because a bi-racial man won the race. Even if it was a good solid black republican running in the race none of you would have voted for him either. The bottom line is that it is a race thing. Get over it folks!!!
November 6, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Really “fuckrepublicans”? That is the perfect example of the one way racism that rules this nation. You say white people are racist for not voting for a black man, and instead voting for a white man. What about all of the African Americans that voted for Obama? Wouldn’t that make them just as racist….or maybe MORE racist than whites, simply because they will come out and say they voted for Barack “because he’s black!”
November 6, 2008 at 7:03 pm
WHY ARE YOU EVEN RESPONDING TO THAT VENOM BAG, UP THE RUMP?
November 8, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I concur with onthestump. “Unaccomplished”? Not at all. You simply don’t like the threat he represents to the neocon New Order. And now that he’s won the election you are all having hysterics as if the end of the world is coming. Obama never promised a “socialist utopia”, and will be working in the confines of our government in the normal, legal manner. Which is more than I can say about some people. We will have a left of center government in this country for four years, and some liberal policies may be implemented here and there. But it’s not as if the Bolsheviks have taken over as you would have people believe.
P.S. what makes you think the shopper in the store is unaccomplished? He could the head of the Physics Department at Northwestern, for all you know.
November 8, 2008 at 8:56 pm
To George, he “chose Marxist professors”? The history, liberal arts, and law professors of major universities often are very leftist. I had some Marxist professors at UCSD, known as the academic home of Herbert Marcuse and Angela Davis (both before my time). I also had some very non-Marxist professors. Although the political center of academe does skew left of say, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, it does not necessarily inform the teaching process. University students are not supposed to absorb whatever the prof says, like a sponge; they are supposed to learn how to think things through for themselves and form their own opinions.
November 11, 2008 at 5:40 am
yeh, he looks like a real douche. it’s like keith olberman has a less GQ twin, but still just as much a fair–i mean, he looks effete like Keith.
December 4, 2008 at 8:20 pm
obami the commie won so all you racist negroes can stop whining for a hand out and blaming caucasians for your own short comings.as for the rest of us hang on to you hats boys, president bongo ie going to give us one hell of a ride all down hill.bongo and his pals dodd,frank, and kennedy created this affirmative action market melt down and you can bet that what ever they do will only make it worse.commiecrats only know how to make things worse FDR made a ression into depression then after winning ww2 he lost the peace.dems gave us nuclear armed north korea,iran and cuba.what next,hand america over to the mullahs?
January 29, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Ok, I just found this, I know I’m late, but I don’t care. onthestump, you are an idiot. So you’re Jewish. Good for you, you traitor. Bush has been to this point the last major supporter in our government of your fellow jews in Isreal. Do you think Obama is going to support them? He will if he’s smart, but then again, I don’t think he will. Just look at the whole Gaza thing that just went down. The idiot Palestinians are attacking a nation that most likely has weapons that nobody else in the world can design yet, much less build them. You know that nifty little gun adapter that can be used for assault rifles, pistols, even grenade launchers, and lets you shoot around corners? You know who made that? Not an engineer, not a tech, a police commander in Isreal. Several years ago, Isreal made the first optic processor for computers. Optic processor. No one else has still made one.
Isreal makes all of this stuff, so you know they can make a lot more stuff they are saying nothing about. And your new buddy is most likely going to cut support to them so that he can pump more money into the welfare fund. Do you have a job? If so, you’re about to be taxed pretty good to pay for more welfare. Do you live in Illinois? If not, I do. I can tell you right off, he has done nothing good for that state whatsoever.
Just know this, you are stupid, because you chose to support someone who will most likely kick off WWIII for his welfare system.
Oh, and by the way, if you actually had been following the news and paying attention, you would have realized that for quite a while now, Bush had been trying to fix many things that are messed up, but guess what, the house is primarily Democratic, so that was a no go. Who has been controlling the media for quite a while now boys and girls? Anybody? The Democrats.
February 16, 2009 at 7:40 pm
In regards to – ‘drop that hitler talk, i’m jewish and its offensive’; what gives you the right to censor what people say because you’re a jew? i would think the last thing any thinking jew would want is for people to forget about the mistakes that caused hitler to come to power. I’m part german, so i should be just as offended and censor you or tell you what you may or may not say based on my ethnicity? I’m always amaized how the radicals can scream freedom of speech and rights and blah blah, but they’re the first ones to bring out the handcuffs of censorship when the free thinking goes against their perceived desires “freedom of thought, so long as it agrees with want i think i want”.
I’ve met Barak, he’s a nice guy and i like him – he’s also completely going to hose this country and its economy. Not because he’s dumb or evil – but because he’s a politician. Politicians do even what they know is harmful – if they believe it will get them re-elected. Governing the masses is sort of like being a parent to a preen. If your 13 year old daughter comes to you and demands you buy her a bottle of vodka so she can have unprotected sex with a 28 year old newly released fellon – hopefully you make the decision based on what is best for her, not what will make her like you. This is the fundemental problem with democracy – it is rule by the mindless masses driven by their own fears and beliefs. None of us are as dumb as all of us. Tell the lemmings what they want to hear, and you’ll get the votes. Its interesting times, i was a school kid when the cold war ended and the berlin wall came down. Now the USSR is a capitalist system and we’re the USSA – Union of Socialist States of America. (see cover of newsweek 2/09) Who’d have thought that would happen in what….20 years?
