2010 Was Not A Good Year To Be President

Quite a bit of this is rather unimformed. Yet it is traveling in circles of folks that I know are non political!

I like the rip off of Tom Clancy for the Iranian takeover of Iraq.

[JDoutrider]

Yeah, I noticed that as well! Maybe Clancy should sue!

[Phlyer]

I like the rip off of Tom Clancy for the Iranian takeover of Iraq.

Um, yeah, but . . .

The actual reference is more likely to be to Hitler taking over Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia. That was when Chamberlain agreed to those takeovers if Hitler promised not to go any further, and then went home to proclaim "Peace in our time."

With, as anyone but a socialist might expect, similar results to those in the little story.

I have come to believe that Obama is indeed closer to Marxist (traditional Communist) than Leninist (International Socialist), because he truly doesn't care where international borders are drawn.

As one might expect, the loudest proclaimers of International Socialism - i.e. Lenin and his disciplies - were in fact National Socialists indistiguishable from fascists in any meaningful way. He wasted no time in declaring that while he was busily bringing about true "International" Socialism, the homeland of socialism (that is - the Russian nation) must be protected. Thus, he morphed into a National Socialist (that is, "Nazi") as soon as he gained power.

Then proceeded to do the same sorts of 'grab some and make 'em accept it' aggression as Hitler.

This posted when I hit preview... so I didn’t get the chance to preview and html some paragraphs... oh well! I posted it to chat ... just because...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Did you write this Cap't?
It sounds like your style.

“Uninformed” ??

You are kidding, right?

[coffee260]

I liked it. What’s the problem?

[ssaftler]

bttt

[mysterio]

Should have rewound it to 2008 when the RNC picked McCain as the nominee.

And Barr might not even get 16 percent of the libertarian vote, much less the "Republican" vote. He's far to much of a statist for libertarians that I know.

[fanfan]

This is not a Canada ping.

I guess it’s a civilization ping.

I hope you don’t mind.

Excepting the Barr, Watts, and Sibelius details, where is the author wrong in his predictions?

[RightWingTeen]

President Obama is caused by too many 'FReepers for Obama' - that is people who will be voting 3rd party (Barr is not a LIBERTARIAN. Barr likes Gore's climate ideas!) or staying home. Sorry, to defeat RINO is to vote for REPUBLICANS - and hold their feet to the fire.

Obama will make this into a SOCIALIST UTOPIA (that is if you are a LIBERAL or RICH!). Sorry, I'm going to campaign for McCain, because I don't want Obama within 500 miles of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[bert]

Bobbarr is not a candidate. he is but a pretender.

He will get lots of votes from FReepers who pretend to have principle.

[mdefranc]

Please don’t waste your intelligence and energies at FreeRepublic or with John McCain.

Where you can and should PERSONALLY IMPACT politics is with Congressional and Senate races. Futhermore, you will learn much, make worthwhile contacts, help win Congress in 2010, and help win Presidency in 2012.

Best luck.

Right On! We need conservatives in Congress and the Senate, in Washington and the state houses! If the Republican Party can’t be saved we need a Third Party that will become a second party—a National Conservative party. That or retake control of the Republican Party. The only way out of the curse of the Obama Machine is conservatism. Conservatives need to stand for election. We need them on the school boards, City governments, State houses as well as the national government.
Ask yourself this question; If you don’t like the people running—why not run yourself? And when you do—use the word—Conservative.

I propose a Conservative Revolution.

a new party that would put the fear of God in the Rinos.
We could take over an existing Third Party and make it our own. They are small and we are many.
We should start a national conservative Newspaper—maybe on the net at first and in each community even if its all xeroxed.
We need conservative TV as well—our own cable system with our views and our kinds of shows.
We need a conservative Movie Studio to make our kinds of movies—Ones about the real story in Iraq —about our heroes in uniform.
We need a symbol—The Rattlesnake Flag of the American Revolution is my suggestion. “Don’t Tread on Me”, can be our motto.
As a cause lets put up the Ten Commandments in every public square. Our goal would be to replace Multiculturalism with Americanism. No more Afro-Americans—just Americans all.

We can start it here—now—but it will take the guts of our forefathers. Think of the soldiers at Valley Forge with bleeding feet. What would they say if they could come back through time and see what we have done with this once great nation.

As one might expect, the loudest proclaimers of International Socialism - i.e. Lenin and his disciplies - were in fact National Socialists indistiguishable from fascists in any meaningful way.

Except for that whole destroy any vestige of a free market thing.

Secretary of Defense Dennis Kucinich,

Not even Hussein is that crazy.

[mdefranc]

Hope you’re right, but I think Hussein’s values are identical to those of the Hyde Park SDS.

If so, we’re in for an extremely bad ride.
