I think a lot of people would say the US Constitution is the worst constitution in the world except for all the others... don’t look at what Bummer simply says, look at what he DOES.

I think he’s driven to the left because he can’t embrace the proposition that some supreme authority exists, but it is more a libertarian left than a socialist left.

Excellent! Thanks for the ping. When Obama spoke about “the world as it should be” I didn’t know if he meant Marxist or Muslim or both or just with himself as emperor.

You mirror my own thoughts, even to the “Wow.”

Obama believes he knows better than the founding fathers.

His thought processes haven't changed since his days of smoking dope and pontificating at college.

He is so immature.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us — if at all — not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

sNip~

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

“The Hollow Men” by T. S. Eliot

Right you are about some of these libs.! I read just last week on DU, that some of them were seriously talking about voting for a third-party person! They were even hoping Ralph Nader would run again! It seems that there are a number of them who act like the mirror image of Freepers, only in the ‘opposite party’!

Ralph Nader, hey?

That's interesting, I've not yet heard his name mentioned by anyone calling up to AIR AMERICA talk radio, but I have definitely heard many of them mention that Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY 'honest' true liberal, that all the rest are party elites.

Many are seriously angry with themselves for believing BHO during his campaign, and they now belatedly realize that they knew NOTHING about him then, and NOTHING about him now, and there is no reason whatsoever that they placed their trust in him.

It is quite astounding to listen.
