I wrote an article that pretty much summed up my feelings with the Obama-Democrat victory on Tuesday: Obama Wins! God Damn America! Two comments represent two very different points of view:
You people are rediculous [sic]. Take a minute and think about what you’re saying. You cannot continue to spew lies and deciet [sic] and expect us to come together peacfully [sic] as a country.And:
Let’s give Obama the same chance his followers gave Bush in 2000. None.I have to laugh at the first comment. Did liberal individual expressing this opinion feel a similar righteous indignation for the over-the-top visceral hatred for President Bush that just seemed to go on and on and on? I very much doubt it. He may well be one of the many liberals with "Bush lied, people died" bumper stickers on his car.
He might be one of the "Hamas Liberals" like this:
I Hate Bush! FOUND by Fred Ames in Raleigh, North Carolina I found this by a middle school / high school bus stop while walking my dog. I know - EVERYONE hates that a*****e Bush - but I haven't seen it expressed quite so well by a kid before!All I can say is, "That poor dog."
I say "Hamas Liberals" because you clearly have a school indoctrination system pumping out the same hatred for Bush that Palestinian schools are teaching their little darlings to have for Jews. But that stuff was fine.
When I was a middle schooler, I wasn't doodling about my hatred for President Carter, even though the man was running the country right into the ground on every front imaginable. There has been an unhinged - and frankly demonic - hatred for President Bush that has been like nothing I have ever seen.
As a Wall Street Journal article put it, "The treatment of Bush has been a disgrace
."
Bush hatred didn't take very long to manifest itself. People went nuts screaming that Bush stole the election in an assult against democracy. It didn't matter that the Palm Beach, Florida debacle occurred in a Democratic County under Democratic leadership, or that the same flawed ballot design had cost Republican Bob Dole 14,000 votes only four years earlier. No, it was because Bush was the devil. The outgoing Clinton administration trashed the White House to set the official Democratic tone regarding the incoming Bush administration.
Now, I'm not saying that Republican parents should indoctrinate their children at home to despise and hate Barack Obama (presumably, the public schools will continue to teach children to hate Republicans). Nor am I suggesting that the Bush administration demonstrate its loathing of the incoming Obama adminstration like the Clinton adminstration did.
But I AM saying that Republicans should realize that Democrats have set the bar for political discourse, and we would have to be world class limbo dancers in order to set the bar any lower than Democrats did in demonizing President Bush.
Democrats have been utterly vicious rabid political monsters for years. They destroyed Robert Bork in a campaign of unwarranted personal demonization to begin the war of the politics of personal destruction. And when Clarence Thomas's appointment came up, they said, "We're going to bork him. We're going to kill him politically. . . . This little creep, where did he come from?" The Republican response to this shocking viciousness on the part of Democrats and liberals was to confirm the incredibly liberal (the General Counsel of the ACLU!) Clinton appointee Ruth Bader Ginsburg, citing that, whatever her perspective, she was qualified. Trusting a Democrat to return professional courtesy is like trusting a frothing-at-the-mouth rabid dog not to bite you. It just won't happen. Quit hoping it will, and get with the program.
Barack Hussein Obama and his Democratic lackeys get to wear the bullseyes on their foreheads for the duration of the next election cycle. It is ALL on them now, and every single failure - and every single event that can be spun into the appearance of a failure - are ALL on them now. Does Obama lead us into a war for ANY reason? He's a murdering warmonger. Doctor pictures of him with the blood of his victims and fangs like the ugly and evil monster he is! Does Obama NOT lead us into war for any reason? He's an appeasing weakling who doesn't have the will to protect us from tyrants. Will we see any kind of terrible national disaster? Then it's "Obama drinks blood from human skulls!" Does the economy do anything other than spiral ever upward and upward? It's a "failed Obama presidency" and "failed Democratic policies." And - given the fact that yesterday marked the "biggest loss ever on the day after a presidential election," well, Obama is already "a failed President" faster than anyone's ever been a failed President.
Don't let a bunch of appallingly blatant hypocrites try to tell you that you owe Obama one more iota of respect than they gave to Bush. After what they've done, they don't deserve to talk about graciousness, respect, what's best for the country, or any of their other smarmy self-serving rhetoric.
It's time to start burning down their houses and salting their fields. The Democrats have demonstrated the pathway to political success the past six years; let us follow the ashes to learn the example of the trail the Democrats blazed.
If that's the standard by which we are to be judged, I suppose I better 'fess up now.
Reagan in '80!!!
Almost everybody already knows that the Democrats support abortion, and they have known this for 35 years. This is not a knowledge problem, it is a heart problem.
We are better than this people!
We will not give Barack Hussein Obama the kind of respect that Dems gave to Bush because the Dems LIED on Bush and the war.
If (and probably when) we treat Obama harshly, it will be because of something he actually did.
Now that we’re the opposition, we don’t have to make nice any more...
If you criticize O, you will be called a racist. Everything critical from now on for the next 4 years will be racist. Every failure, every mishap, every scandal, will be blamed on racist republicans. It’s going to get ugly.
I think we must repeat it every chance we get, that Obama is a murderer. The libs did it about Bush, and blamed everything on Bush. From now on, we blame everything on Obama on every blog site, relentlessly
My wife works for the school district, she tells me the kids are mobbing against the Obama like he was a video game monster.
This one is a tough one. Yes, it would be nice to treat nObama the same way the libtards treated Bush, BUT I always want the best for America, and I always believe, as Christ did, that we should turn the other cheek. I will continue to pray for America (nObama too), that our economy strengthens, that we stay safe, and that the world becomes a better place. However, I will call him out when he screws something up!
Soros.
You HOPE you can call him out when he screws something up!
We should withhold our children from Obama’s war. Let them send kids from NY and California.
Details.
In the event of an armed conflict I will support the president. But I doubt the president will demonstrate any particular desire to actually fight for this nation except when circumstances force him to. Given a choice I am sure he would rather talk, equivocate, ask for UN intervention, talk, apologize for America’s obvious failings and then run for it.
Insofar as domestic policy goes I see no reason to support him at all unless he makes some kind of mistake and does something that might be beneficial for the nation.
All support will be based on the specific situation.
As far as respect goes he will have to earn it. So far I see no reason at all to respect the man. His only real talent that I can see is the ability to talk people into voting for him. Which makes him an accomplished salesman. If he ever actually does anything worthy of respect I will give it.
And all of what I have said here is far more than the rabid leftists gave to Bush. The last 8 years have been an unbroken record of sedition, defeatism, obstruction and slander against the man. They never let up. Not once.
Remember the Bush google-bomb? (see tagline)
You mean stop being nice to him?
Take off the gloves?
Terrorist sympathizer, secret muslim, barbarian, infanticidal maniac, baby killer, marxist, socialist, anti-american, arab............
I am not sure there are any more epithets left, but you are welcome to try.
Well said!
We’ve been turning the other cheek for far too long.
Remember what Jesus said in Luke 22:36. He advocated for people to defend themselves. It’s that time
