Interestingly enough there is a site called “Rate my Professor” with students rating this professor. Maybe he needs some feedback: All we need to do is enter into the search engine: Deandre Poole rate my professor and it brings us to the site. Interesting that some students rate him as arrogant. Why is it that stupid, intolerant people are so arrogant?

Chris Rock just bragged that in his latest movie, “he got to kill all the white people.” Obama should pass an executive order that Hollywood MUST discontinue glamorizing violence, “life in the hood,” and the use of the “N” word and the “F” word. Guns have been in this country since its inception and it has only been since television and movies that violence and decent behavior has deteriorated by leaps and bounds.

Hollywood loves to preach about how we should behave, think and talk - I say it is time we turned the attention to them.

Instead of pointing the finger at gun owners, why not look at Hollywood. Chris Rock just bragged that in his latest movie, “he got to kill all the white people.” Hollywood constantly glamorizes “life in the hood,” language that no one should be using in public and can’t get enough of the word “nigger,” and then THEY feel free to point fingers at other groups. ‘’’

No one - and I mean, no one, has more to do with the deterioration of decent behavior and lack of value on human life and decency than Hollywood. We should be pointing out in every blog and at every opportunity that Hollywood - instead of pointing outward - should be pointing at themselves.

The dog is described by the family as a “typical, playful, one year old.” I love my dog but I’m willing to bet that the dog wasn’t acting “playful” when he went after the mail carrier. The parents failed to restrain their dog and the fact is, too many mailmen are bitten - sometimes seriously, by dogs. The homeowners are at fault - period.

You say “Walmart doesn’t have a union.” Something we all know. Let’s keep it that way.

And THIS is a prime example of why public schools get a bad rap. Unlike private schools, public schools have no choice but to accept this type of trash - our laws force schools to educate him until he reaches an “age” where the government decides it is now “acceptable” to boot him out. One student like this can and does cost teachers their jobs and they can and do make learning in the classroom a challenge for the teachers. Many of the problems associated with the schools are, instead, problems such as this thug who are created by government policies and then the schools and classmates are stuck with him. If Obama is worried about “bullying” then he should support policies that punish this type of thug instead of enabling him.

He just joined this year - since he obviously doesn’t seem to enjoy the site, can’t help wondering why he is here. (MSNBC employee, perhaps?) Also, is swearing really necessary - haven’t seen much of that on this site and yet our new member falls back on a lib tactic. Just saying , . . .

Wonder how many times YAHOO has posted when teachers make leftist remarks to the class. The teacher may have over-stepped her bounds, but why is this news only when it doesn’t lean left???

And check this one out -

We have a problem in our area with people using their welfare debit card to buy cases of soda - they then go dump the soda, return the cans and use the money to buy beer and cigarettes.

Since Michelle Obama insists that school cafeterias must serve only healthy meals, why can Debit Card users purchase soda and potato chips - they are where “forced” healthy eating should start.

Example #1 of where our money is going - and they wonder why Americans are angry:

My thoughts exactly - let them run their “welfare” programs and spend recklessly without the GOP dollar!

For Obama to follow the advice in this article, he would have to actually “work” and that is something this “celebrity” President is incapable of. He uses his office as a means to golf, entertain celebrities and tyrants of his choosing with outrageously extravagant, tax-payer funded events and to push through a radical agenda. He no interest in “getting along” with voters or even those in his own party. He is not so much as President as he is a dictator and a tyrant - working and communicating with the taxpayers are not important to him. (Not to mention that in his mind, the taxpayers who support his lavash parties and Michelle’s lavish vacations are too stupid for him to even be bothered with - something that he doesn’t bother to try to hide.)

Speak with your wallet - support Free Republic. I check out this site more than I watch television.

Agree ! Rove gave us George Bush - the liberal who destroyed the conservative image and he has been working very hard ever since to make sure to marginalize any true conservative who makes a run at any office. While the Dems circle the wagons around their candidates - no matter how outrageous - Rove is the first to throw a conservative under the bus and he does it loud and long so that the press can quote him. Far from being an asset, he is dragging the party to the left.

Until we get our voice back with the media, we are always going to come up wanting - no amount of ad blitzes can overcome the MSM. Our only chance is to let our money talk. Don’t buy papers that promote Obama (USA Today being a major player), genuinely boycott advertisers of shows that star people like Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. We have to let our money talk because right now no one is listening. . . .,

I agree with you - Romney was a good candidate. The problem is that he didn’t simply run against Obama - he ran against the media. If I learned anything from this election it was to send a check to Free Republic, support Rush Limbaugh, etc. We can’t win elections without first managing to overcome the corrupt media machine.

When you have the same people running from one voting precinct to another, it creates long lines - thus, lines in Dem areas are long. Is he really that dense???

Typical - does he ever really take a stand? He always rides the middle and talks over everyone else while he is doing it. He can provide a decent read but is useless “live.”

For the first time ever, I am so caught up in dislike for a politician that I nearly feel contempt for any friend who admires and plans to vote for that politician. Our “Great Uniter” is destroying and splitting this nation at an unprecedented pace.

You can bet that the MSM won’t cover anything of this type. For the next five days all we will be hearing is the comparison between the Katrina response and the Sandy response. Never mind that George Bush made the same calls that Obama did - the only thing is that the Louisiana Governor refused to allow the help to enter New Orleans.

The media will hype this up as an “unprecedented” superior episode of “leadership” on the part of Obama. Reality will NOT be allowed to rear its ugly head.

Now Drudge has added a picture of Obama with his wedding ring out front - and I would have bet it was the Obama team throwing out mud just to see what would stick. Let’s hope something sticks to teflon Obama that even the media can’t gloss over . . .

Of course they would. The more Obama can weaken the dollar the better their currency looks against it. The more Obama weakens America, the more power jealous Europeans hold. The difference between Americans and “northern Europeans” is that we LOVE America more than we love Europe. They, on the other hand, love Europe more than they love America.

In other words, why do we care WHO they would vote for????

Definitely Fox - without Fox, Rush and the internet, Americans would still be clueless as to the REAL Obama and libs would dominate. Ratings matter.

Wasn’t it John Kerry who made the statement that Americans shouldn’t give to the Charity of THEIR choice - that they should, instead, have to give money to the government and let THEM choose the charity since THEY are so much better than we are at knowing where the money is needed most. Talk about aristocratic arrogance and a complete lack of respect for the intelligence of voters (not to mention the sheer audacity of thinking he has the right to put his hands in OUR wallets and take out the money WE worked for so he can pass it on to the charity of his choosing!) How have we ended up with such a government of entitlement attitude buffoons????

I agree with what you are saying - the media, however, will never admit that the problem in New Orleans was about the mentality of the people and will forever try to imply that Bush was the problem. By the same token, they will play this up as though we are comparing apples to apples and praise Obama endlessly for the fact that this behavior doesn’t occur. Of course, the foolish among us, will fall for it.

While I am not trying to diminish the strength of the storm, I can’t help but believe that MANY in the media are not above the the “Don’t look at Libya - look at the storm!” approach to politics. This coverage takes attention away from Libya and will end up with them praising Obama for the “great” job he did in handling this disaster - I can already see it coming.

Call me a cynic but I see this as nothing but a build up so that, when New Orleans style behavior doesn’t occur, the media can fall back on the line about how Obama did such a GREAT job of handling the “disaster” and, unlike George Bush, all of the looting and bad behavior was avoided.

BUSINESS INSIDER??? Consider the source . . .

Sadly, a good friend works in a school district and, while this sounds like the schools are being self-indulgent, the increase in administration comes back to an significant increase in paperwork required by the government. Most schools now-days are understaffed for the workload - not the reverse, as this article would make you believe.

The other thing to be read into this is we have to consider what “Obamacare” would do to healthcare. No longer will it be enough to provide care, we will need untold reams of paperwork to be submitted to bloated government agencies created just for the purpose of “overseeing” this monstrosity. If you want to be scared straight, take a look at other government agencies - the reason the post office, schools, etc., are suffering is due to the bloated amounts of paperwork required to feed the machine.

Sadly, it isn’t just the media that is careful to close their eyes and look the other way. Those who consistently vote Dem don’t want to know the truth, either. The nation is split into those who want the best for the country as a whole and those who either are looking for handouts or are owned by unions - two segments of society who feel that the end justifies the means.

Wow! An exclamation point - we might as well just throw in the towel NOW! How can we possibly compete with an empty suit with an exclamation point???

I believe that, in such a polarized climate, a judge trying to pull off such a stunt would cause an uprising that the Unions cannot afford to risk. Wisconsin is an indicator of what can happen if you play your hand too heavily. Not to say it can’t happen, but I don’t believe that Unions would want to pick now as a time to bring this battle to the forefront.

I agree with you. Rick Snyder has done some good things but has been weak - maybe smartly so in such a union heavy state - but weakness doesn’t work when you are dealing with unions. The one thing I must admit in terms of unions is that, even though this proposal will likely fail, it works for them in the sense that Union households will turn out to vote based on the ballot proposals and this will work to Obama’s advantage. Those who may not have bothered to come out to vote will show up and vote. That, in itself, gives me doubts as to any chance of Romney taking Michigan. (Of course, with any luck, the opposite could occur and those against the initiatives will turn out in droves but I am not counting on it.)

While Obama was clearly wrong on both points, the other factor that comes into play is that his sarcasm and condescension isn’t going to play well with the undecided. While libs love to talk down to the general public, the average voter has had it with Obama’s claims that his policies are good but that he just isn’t “explainin it well enough to us dumb voters.”

Bottom line is that Obama’s policies are not the only thing hurting him. Campaigning to the contrary, Obama loves bullies and that is how he works. For most of middle America, this attitude does not play well.

A judge may be able to overturn election results but one thing a judge cannot do is open the State Constitution and make changes that will guarantee that Public Sector unions get first dibs on State monies or that they can force people to pay dues against their will. These items are the true reason behind this proposal. They watched Scott Walker make changes that take away the Union’s right to automatically make the State be their enforcer in terms of Union Dues and they want to make certain the same thing can’t happen in Michigan. If this is voted down, a judge cannot give them what they are looking for.

And, of course, it is a taped interview. Can’t be taking a chance of actually being asked some tough questions. The worst part is that MSNBC will let this fly. The one good thing is that only the truly lost actually watch that network so it won’t be changing any minds.

There was “someone who didn’t do their job” alright and it was Obama. As Commander in Chief he is a national disgrace and he should be held accountable.

Clearly the MSM is trying to keep that from happening, but the word is leaking out. Unlike 1969, the MSM doesn’t get to control 100 percent of the dialogue.

2012 looks to be a complete reversal of 2008. At that time, Republicans held their nose and voted McCain - if they bothered to vote at all. It would seem that many (not all - of course) Dems may find themselves in this position this time around. They may not like Obama but they will hold their nose and vote for him or stay home (which is our hope). Unbelievably, there are many Dems who actually still find Obama to be “The One” and will vote enthusiastically but, in the meantime, they have lost many of the moderates of the party - which could be just enough to shift this election.

While I realize there are a lot of factors involved in the race, with the economy being number one, I can’t help but believe that the average American doesn’t like what he/she sees with regards to the Libya fiasco. Any patriotic American and veterans in particular, can’t like the building evidence that our “I will be honest with you” President not only let four Americans die but went on to try to bury the incident and condemn the Republicans for “politicizing” it. Worse yet, was the fact that the press spent the first three days slamming Romney for “politicizing” it when they should have been spending that time trying to get ot the bottom of what happened.

Bottom line, this issue may not cause a large shift in voting but even a couple percentage points could result in an Obama loss - with the cover-up hurting him even more than the event, itself.

It all goes back to one big principle.

The media is the outlet whose job it is SUPPOSED to be to keep the average citizen “informed.” Instead, the media has turned into a lib propaganda machine who makes it their job to try to make certain Americans are “misinformed.”

Bottom line - the only Americans who are actually informed are the ones to make the attempt to go around the mainstream media and dig out the actual truth. As indicated in this article, libs don’t really WANT to know the truth - they want to believe that the candidate who gives away the goodies to those who don’t earn it is the best candidate for the country. When informed to the contrary, they cover their ears and declare that it doesn’t matter.

Libs give truth to the adage that “You can fool some of the people, all of the time.”

I think you are on to something. The PAC should run an ad with Obama carrying on (the way he does) about how we can count on him to be honest - as he did in the last debate to the extent of being nauseating for those of us who know him and his administration for what they are. Then cut to his speech to the UN where he lambasted the video for causing the violence - then cut to his claims that he “just didn’t have all the information” to move forward. The fact that the media has covered for this fiasco borders on being evil and complicit. Obviously, the media considers the lives of those four Americans less important than re-electing the President who allowed it to happen - and then tried to bury the event, all in an attempt to keep the image of “having stopped Al Quada from being a risk to Americans.”

While we are doing the “how about” - how about if we give those who live off the dole and have NEVER worked even though able-bodied, absolutely NO votes. Those on Social Security, Retirement, etc., are NOT receiving “entitlements” as the Dems like to call it in an attempt to put them in a category with the parasites who have never worked and should, thus, be allowed to vote. Those who are genuinely disabled should vote. However, those who clearly have made a life of living as a parasite should not be allowed to vote since they contribute nothing to support the government.

Works at the Dept of Family and Children Services????? Receives a check from them, no doubt! This is what we get when for taking care of parasites . . . . . they start to believe in their own entitlement.

For the Washington Post, this is a hard news story. Let’s forget Fast and Furious and Benghazi is just a blip on the radar but, boy, when Obama casts a ballot for himself, this is worthy of news space!

At the end of Carter’s term many Americans watched their televisions in horror as Muslim extremists who had hi-jacked a plane murdered an American soldier and, rightly, raged against Jimmy Carter for having allowed extremists to reach this point and commit these acts against their countrymen. Both Obama and Hillary (as well as the talking heads for the administration) keep pushing the image of Libyans gently carrying our Ambassador’s body to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. If the average American could see the pictures in Great Britain’ s papers showing the Libyans dragging the body through the streets and taking pictures as though he were a trophy, Obama would suffer the same fate as Carter.

The misrepresentation by this administration makes you doubt every detail given of Libyans fighting by the side of Americans in the battle in Benghazi. However, much like Fast and Furious, the media will do everything in its power to keep the public in the dark.

Maybe Romney was playing it smart in terms of Obama’s interruptions. Rather than fall into a game of talking over each other and lowering himself to Obama’s level, he let the nation see Obama for the rude, condescending “leader” who then goes on to whine that Congress refuses to “get along” with him. After Obama’s display in all three debates few of us are left wondering why even the Dems can’t find it in themselves to vote for items that Obama tries to ram through. No one likes to be talked down to and ridiculed and Obama blustered his way through the debates using both tactics rather than present a reasoned argument or even bother to listen to what the other person in the debate had to say.

Honestly, - his attitude that women are voting based only on access to free birth control and abortions is insulting. However, this is typical of the President who feels that, if the public doesn’t share his agenda, it is because he simply “Didn’t explain it clearly enough.” He genuinely believes that all voters are stupid and that he is wiser and smarter than those of us who actually work to pay his salary.

From what I see, it would seem that, even if the media feels that Obama may have “won “ the last two debates by a couple of points in terms of points made (which is doubtful to begin with), the bigger point is that Obama LOST big-time in terms of image.

He lost all three debates based on arrogance, dismissiveness, rudeness and sometimes the habit of coming across as the “ bully” - that the media tried so hard to paint Romney as. Anyone who wasn’t already in the bag for Obama saw a man who stood for everything they don’t want or like in a “leader.” Not only did Mitt win people over by his demeaner, but Obama lost the glossy image that the press has tried so hard to sell.

After watching the debate I could not help but wonder why Romney passed on a clear chance to come down on Obama about Libya. I also could not help but notice that Romney was extremely careful to avoid looking like he would declare war on Syria. Is it possible that his team knew in advance that Obama was prepared with a “comeback” in terms of the Libya issue that Obama wanted badly to spew in front of an audience of millions? Is it also possible that Romney had a heads-up with regards to the media and Obama hoping to paint him as a someone who would be constantly beating war-drums. It is possible that Romney averted a trap that Obama and media were wishing and hoping for and which would give the MSM an opportunity to paint him as a “cowboy” who would lead us into endless wars. While the media keeps quoting the line about bayonets and horses, I felt the best line of the debate was “We can’t kill our way out of this mess!”

Just speculating . . . . .

When even the Far Left USA Today cannot come right out and declare that Obama was the winner, you know there is no standing to rally behind this theme. They did, however, carry on about the “horses and bayonets” line as though Obama might be a comedy genius. You know that “the One” is in trouble when the drooling USA Today cannot even come up with something of substance.

Or maybe (could we hope) even USA Today knows the trend in terms of the upcoming election and cannot risk coming out too heavily in favor of Obama.
