Couldn’t agree more.
“Mr. Obama” it is... I have listened since 2001 to the electronic and print media refer to the current President of the United States - George Bush simply as “Mr. Bush” since they seem to take their lead from the NY Times editorial style section.
Many of Obama’s black supporters will consider it demeaning or racist to deny their the future president the respect and title of his office, but they must accept that what has been done to “President Bush” for the past eight years will now be done to “Mr. Obama”.
You reap what you sow.

I understand and agree with your sentiments re: being a Christian and being Christlike.
I can see now why Jesus avoided politics.
Remember that Jesus didn’t just turn the other cheek; He also drove the money-changers out of the Temple with a whip.
There are limits that we need to respect; but - for the sake of all the babies that will die if this guy gets to start naming Supreme Court Justices with a liberal Congress - we need to drive Obama out of the White House.
And I DON’T mean this to apply to Obama as a black man (rather as a dangerous radical), but we need to whip his butt out of the White House.
The other entity that needs to be taken down is the MSM. "Dinosaur Media Death Watch" and "unplug perky Katie" "Tom, Retire. Again" "pMSNBC" and others should be staples.
NRO linked to a "from 52 to 48" photo spread of libs sending "we're all in this together" messages, and all I could think of was the WAVE of "Not My President" crap from the moment Bush was declared the winner.
And NOW the libs want to get along?
Chrissy Matthews says "America needs a successful president"--gee, Chrissy, didn't we need one after 9/11 and when we were fighting two wars, you bastard?
I wish I could be magnanimous. But for all his flaws, President Bush held this country together through some of our toughest times with NO HELP--NONE--from the liberals. He worked with that drunken murderer Ted Kennedy on No Child Left Behind and got NOTHING in return. He offered to change the tone in Washington and got NOTHING in return. After 9/11, the liberals had more open hatred for Bush than they did for the terrorists. I'm not saying they wanted 9/11 to happen--I'm saying their personal hatred was for Bush--who, guess what Obamaniacs, is our president.
But now that YOUR guy is in, I'M supposed to be magnanimous as you never were?
Sorry, I don't support socialists. They've piled up too many corpses for me to grin and say "Hey, whatever our differences, we're ALL Americans!"
Except you guys never waved the flag until YOUR guy got in.
And now I'm supposed to join in--as if *I* did something wrong and YOU'VE forgiven me--when YOU'VE been the ones who didn't give a damn about "one nation" or "unity"?
Screw that.
It's been amazing how the libs are walking forward, hands out, saying, "OK, we can be friends now!" when they've been living on their own bile for 8 years.
Their child-like confusion when someone like me says "You're kidding, right?" would be funny if it wasn't part of the naive worldview that elected Obama.
Good comeback. I like your style.
I never imagined that anyone could be as full of bullpoop as these people are every day of their lives. It might be because they actually think the self-referentially absurd propaganda campaign the media feeds them is true. It might be because they don’t even believe anything called “truth” exists, much less care about pursuing it.
We’ve got half the country falling for a crazier and crazier worldview. And they are capable of damn near any psychotic stupidity.
What always amazes me is how they go off on me in the blogs - while at the same time presenting themselves off as “tolerant” - as though they are completely unaware of the massive contradiction that characterizes their lives and everything they stand for.
On another thread I directed people to read your comments where you provided links to material. Sometimes it feels so pointless, because the lefties follow the Alan Colmes pattern. If I say "Liberal Politician A did this," the lib says "Oh, yeah? Well Conservative Politician B did THIS, so whaddaya say to THAT, huh, HUH?"
They can't answer, so they deflect. If the issue is that libs do something and conservatives don't, that's an OK response. But we fall into the trap of letting that tactic hamstring us; we don't ask certain questions because it would embarass "our guy," so their guy gets away with murder.
An honest response would be for a lib to respond to the substance of the charge, instead of saying, basically, "If the charge is accurate, it is still OK because one of you guys is guilty, too."
Obama's gotten away with so much of this because of that silly dance. We need to stick to facts, to reality, and libs I encounter (I work in Cambridge, MA, the Moonbat Mecca) simply don't care about that. Obama is, in his words, a blank screen on which they can project--facts don't matter, because each of his fans has a completely different movie playing, so there's no consistency. He is a fantasy construct, so his fans can't be bothered with things like having no resume--what difference does THAT make to someone you mostly imagine?
What it comes down to is that libs believe they are GOOD, and thus, any who oppose them are BAD. And so they have permission to lie and distort and especially good, to HATE those who oppose them. I mean, if you were going up against, oh, Hitler, you could lie and distort and hate him, too, right?
A vote for Obama HAS to be seen as a triumph against racism, because otherwise they couldn't fantasize that they're taking part in history--they're one with Rosa Parks, because they voted for a guy because of his race, and he triumphed. If they only voted for him because they were worried about the economy, well, that's not "heroic" is it?
They go off on the blogs against you because you oppose them, and thus you MUST be bad...and there's no brakes on what you can do to someone who's BAD.
I like that post well enough to leave copies of it in the magazine racks at grocery stores. : )
You don’t think I need to “come together” and help bring “unity” ? ;)
Four years of gnashing of teeth coming up.
And a hair trigger finger on the mute button, as in 8 years of Clintoon.........
It may no longer be so easy for the L/MSM to keep things under wrap. His false promises may be his downfall, where a lot of dopes that voted for change will see no change. And they will feel let down. Of course he will come back and say my emphasis was on the concept of change, not in actually changing things. So it may sooth their anger. After all a majority who voted for him are most probably in the reality, idiots.
I’ll bump that. Is that absolutely for certain from the transcript?
What was that name the lefty goofballs always called Bush?
Oh, yeah - - they called him “the chimp”.
I wonder if turnabout is fair play?
I have always stated what I believed to be true. I have never knowingly lied in any article I’ve written. And I have also done the best I could to check my facts if there seemed to be any reason to doubt sources.
I have a definite perspective, and make no attempt to disguise it: I am a conservative.
BECAUSE I try to tell the truth, and BECAUSE I try to check facts rather than just run my mouth with a bunch of vicious rumors, there are limits beyond which I won’t go.
Frankly, the fact that I even CARE about “the truth,” or for that matter even believe that something called “truth” objectively exists at all, sets me apart from may liberals.
It’s for that reason that liberals can go so damn low: such as run stories that Sarah Palin pretended to be pregnant because she was covering for the fact that Todd Palin had impregnated his daughter Bristol.
What I have found is that many liberals have an ideological filter that prevents them from thinking about anything that challenges their worldview. The more bogus, fraudulent, and flawed a worldview is, the less you can seriously consider anything that undermines it.
So you’ll get the immediate fingerpointing at what some conservative may have done that allegedly is similar, or a patent dismissal of a point you make without any attempt made to refute it (prove it’s false), etc. That’s why I rarely bother to argue with libs past a certain point: once I see that sort of mindset, I just move on. No point arguing with a deluded fool who has no interest in trying to get to the truth.
Well put.
This was the first time I read one of your articles, but I will be on the lookout for you. If you have a ping! list, please put me on it.
I don’t know...I lifted it from someone’s post cause it was just so well said.
You have nailed it...
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
It is a SPIRITUAL blindness.
Those folks need prayer. And we are going to need a miracle, every day.
Demonization of the opponent is the easiest way not to have to listen to what they say.
We can’t beat those people with rational discourse. We have to work on the people who still will listen.
