In peace. At least that's what his mentor ghost writer Ayers has planned for 25 million of us. Unburied peace.

“Because it’s time.”
Time for what?
“A black president.”
and it was from a middle-aged white veteran.
I heard: “He’s cool, he plays basketball!”
Jacl Kennedy was an excellent speaker.
I never heard him say all the uh’s....uh’s...ah’s..mmmm’s that NObama has in his stilted speech pattern.
Besides the fact that I don’t agree with a single thing he says or thinks, I got so I couldn’t listen to him stammer theu a single sentence after about Oct 1st. Mute button got used alot.
Cousin stutters- has all his life. He is easier to listen to.
Well, if I would have know that McCain had worked the "chain gang" I wouldn't have voted for him either.
I thought he was a prisoner of war all these years!
Silly me.....

Millions are just brainwashed into the left wing “Media Matrix” of left wing thought, we are competing against a message that comes from the schools, colleges, “news”, movies, music, etc. The basic message regarding politics can be boiled down to Democrats Good, Republicans Evil.
You can see the manifestation of this brainwashing on left wing boards and on youtube, most leftists can either parrot talking points or when challenges go into rages of profanity and wishing death to you and your family.
Go watch political videos on youtube and see the left wing comments to see this bizarre phenomenon, logic is met with emotion, facts are met with rage.
We need to start educating as many people as we can or we’re doomed to be governed by a nation of emotional and intellectual infants.
I know of at least one person who voted for him because “he’s good looking and articulate and clean.”
“He’ll unite the country !”
(In what ? Totalitarian misery ?)
Oh, and one more, from a smart-aleck friend:
“The Mayan calendar apparently says that December 21st, 2012 will be the end of the world as we know it. I voted for Obama to fulfill the prophecy.”
McCain is too old to be president. My neighbor actually bought that line of reasoning.
God will get you for your racist attitude. ROTF!!
This is from my Obama loving friend that I have posted about in the past, I warn you, it’s a long one!
“Well trickle down didn’t work either now did it? I have news for you. We
already are acting like a socialist nation by bailing out the banks,
insurance companies and wall street. Also, we are already redistributing
wealth...that’s what Progressive tax means. The rich pay more. It’s already
happening. All Obama wants to do is bring back Clinton’s tax bracket on the
rich. Look how well it worked. He left office with the biggest surplus this
country had ever seen. Even Bush Sr with his read my lips about face did the
same thing bc of the huge deficit Reagan left him. Do you believe in our
educational system, military and infrastructure and the future of this
country? well who do you think needs to step up to the plate and pay for it?
The poor? The people that can ARE the rich. Now obviously that’s what the
progressive tax makes happen, even now.
Isn’t that more fair? Shouldn’t everyone pay the same amount?
In a word— no. It’s not more fair; it’s appallingly unfair. Why? The rich
should pay more taxes, because the rich get more from the government.
Consider defense, for example, which makes up 20% of the budget. Defending
the country benefits everyone; but it benefits the rich more, because they
have more to defend. It’s the same principle as insurance: if you have a
bigger house or a fancier car, you pay more to insure it.
Social security payments, which make up another 20% of the budget, are
dependent on income— if you’ve put more into the system, you get higher
payments when you retire.
Investments in the nation’s infrastructure— transportation, education,
research & development, energy, police subsidies, the courts, etc.— again
are more useful the more you have. The interstates and airports benefit
interstate commerce and people who can travel, not ghetto dwellers. Energy
is used disproportionately by the rich and by industry.
As for public education, the better public schools are the ones attended by
the moderately well off. The very well off ship their offspring off to
private schools; but it is their companies that benefit from a well-educated
public. (If you don’t think that’s a benefit, go start up an engineering
firm, or even a factory, in El Salvador. Or Watts.)
The FDIC and the S&L bailout obviously most benefit investors and large
depositors. A neat example: a smooth operator bought a failing S&L for $350
million, then received $2 billion from the government to help resurrect it.
Beyond all this, the federal budget is top-heavy with corporate welfare.
Counting tax breaks and expenditures, corporations and the rich snuffle up
over $400 billion a year— compare that to the $1400 budget, or the $116
billion spent on programs for the poor.
Where’s all that money go? There’s direct subsidies to agribusiness ($18
billion a year), to export companies, to maritime shippers, and to various
industries— airlines, nuclear power companies, timber companies, mining
companies, automakers, drug companies. There’s billions of dollars in
military waste and fraud. And there’s untold billions in tax credits,
deductions, and loopholes. Accelerated depreciation alone, for instance, is
estimated to cost the Treasury $37 billion a year— billions more than the
mortgage interest deduction. (Which itself benefits the people with the
biggest mortgages. But we should encourage home ownership, shouldn’t we?
Well, Canada has no interest deduction, but has about the same rate of home
ownership.)”
Your neighbor paid WAY too much for that line of reasoning.
Re: “I had one female friend (an ex) who said she voted for Obama because she couldn’t stand Palin. The G-F (soon to be ex) said she always votes for Democrats. I knew better than to ask my daughter. She doesn’t know anything at all about current events.
I have been looking for new friends ever since. That may sound harsh, but this whole thing made me look at who I have allowed into my life, and desire to change that. There is no way these people will ever admit their mistake. Sad for me. I don’t think they will miss me.”
**********
Yes, I’ve found during this election cycle that people didn’t know a thing about the candidates and didn’t even care, so long as there was a (D) after their name. A few females hated Palin — big time jealousy, I’d say.
I, too, have lost friends over this. Some family members are at arms’ length now as well. I’m looking for new friends, too. Life’s too short to spend it with people who don’t even pay attention and have no sense. And no, they will not admit their mistake, if they even see it that way at some point. The country seems more divided than ever now.
I’ve had some friends like that.
You don’t think so immediately, but eventually you really like getting rid of them.
Well thought out but totally wrong. LOL!
