"I'M AFRAID FOR MY COUNTRY," SAYS PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING OBAMA VOTER
THE FREEDOM POST ^ | December 20, 2009 | Matthew Burke

Posted on 12/20/2009 5:21:29 PM PST by TheFreedomPoster

Michael Goodwin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Post columnist, wrote an article today, entitled, "Dreading Our Future." An admitted Barack Obama voter, Goodwin expresses much more than just buyer's remorse. The anger, frustration, disappointment, shock, and fear he feels is communicated very clearly. The closest Goodwin comes to paying President Obama a compliment is, "he (Obama) has become an insufferable bore."

The funny thing is, I, and most of the people on this site, figured it out the instant Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency.

It never ceases to amaze me how otherwise intelligent people were taken in by such an obviously phony, huckster. It's like 5 year olds who are attracted by shiny new toys.

I like Goodwin and am glad he saw the light re: Barky.

BTW, if I am not mistaken, he is now a contributor to Fox.

Don't listen to your elders about the pitfalls of big government at your own peril.

Welcome to reality. You have been officially mugged.

Too little too late buddy, we all have you suffer due to your stupidity. Should have thought about that BEFORE voting for Obama. Instead of listening to the biased media, should have read the facts about this guy and you would have seen what we all know, that he is a marxist and a fraud

Godwin could have looked around long before Obama even announced and realized the Democrat party no longer has any first-class minds available to handle high level cabinet positions.

Actually, they don't even have second-class minds. They are literally down to the sort of third-rate hacks you see every day ~ Axelrod, Emmanuel, Frank, Reed, Pelosi ~ these people and their henchmen are definitely third-rate at best, and totally incompetent at worst.

The Democrats are embarrassing America in front of the world with this nonsense.

Needs to be sent to Rush, Hannity, Levin, Savage. I predict nationwide hatred for Zero and the RATs very very soon. Ain’t gonna be pretty when the American people realize they were spit and pissed upon by their representatives. Our heritage is one that doesn’t like traitors. We are now faced with about 450 traitors to America.

This guy can write a Pulitzer Prize winning column but he can’t spend twenty minutes on the internet researching a presidential candidate? What a putz!

Obama attracts liberals the way that fairy tales attract children. He speaks to their fantasies.

Liberalism is a disease which retards one's natural development from adolescent giddiness about life to the seriousness of maturity.

It most commonly strikes those who have been shielded from reality by their parents.

People who resist life's call to reality/maturity do so by magnifying their fantasies of eternal childhood. It is a form of insanity that makes them vulnerable to infantile Pied Pipers like our little Barky.

I just think back on all of those, even some on the right, who poo-pooed me when I said he is a Communist and will set about the destruction of our sovereignty and our Republic.

I pointed out his associations, his church, his teachers, his lack of private sector experience, his lack of political experience, his narcissism.

They yelled: “Guilt by association!” I said: Is there a better way to judge a man than by his past and the company he keeps?

They wanted a non-white person as POTUS. I said: He’s half-black on the outside but he is all red on the inside. Race doesn’t matter, WHAT DOES HE BELIEVE?

Reading this article is bittersweet for me.

Interesting analysis. If you survey the left-liberal crowd from the 1960’s until today, a lot of their behavior suggests a rejection of the demands of adulthood.

Quoted in the comments under the article:

Socialist Party of America presidential candidate Norman Thomas in 1948:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."

Exactly.

The commie made it very clear what he was about. No one who gave a rats *ss about principles was fooled for a second.

What part of:

What the constitution can do “on your behalf”
Civilian national security force
Spread the wealth
Bankrupt the coal mines
etc., etc., etc...

...didn’t this idiot understand?

I read Goodwin's article -- and he's full of crap. Some of the finest minds, best commentators, and scores of ordinary citizens sounded the warning against Obama during the election cycle. We didn't use theories or false allegations -- we listened to Obama's EXACT WORDS and took him at his word.

Goodwin's admission, while welcome in a "better late than never" sort of way, is absolutely useless as an excuse. Maybe next time, he and others like him will listen to their betters when we're trying to tell them the way things REALLY are.

You just want to walk up to some one like this and gently SHAKE THE CRAP OUT OF THEM AND ASK, "HOW CAN YOU BE SO Stupid?"

These bastards who voted for him get no kudos from me. This is all their fault. They should have researched this current devil we now call POTUS.
