You say you want a revolution
Well you know
we all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know you can count me out, in
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
we’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We’re all doing what we can
If you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well you know
we’d all love to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT

Should we be surprised ..?? I don’t think so!

We already know the modis operendi (mode of operation) for all those who claim to be democrat or liberal.

The name of this condition is “projection”. It’s a psychosis that causes the person (”P”) to PROJECT upon other people (”OP”), the very actions the P is doing.

A good example was recently stated: The repubs have only contributed the “same old tired” ideas - to the conversation on the stimulus. Hmmmmm ..??

But .. if you analyze what P is doing .. he’s PROJECTING upon OP the very actions that P is doing. The dems are bringing nothing but the same old tired agenda to the table .. giving our TAX DOLLARS to all the unions, lawyers, ACORN (who has been indicted for fraud) - while the OP have brought tax breaks (which P is calling old and tired).

No matter what P claims OP is doing .. you can believe it’s really something P is doing .. planning to do .. or has already done. The whole “stimulus” is nothing more than the same old tired liberal spending.

You see how that operates ..?? The dems are using the “same old tired spending” .. while they accuse the repubs of “using the same old tired issues”. Hmmmmm ..??

I guess Charles Krauthammer is right .. the dems/libs have a mental disorder. Not comforting in this unstable world.

Thank you! Grassroots is where the power lies in the end game.

We elected Dr. Coburn by the grassroots in 2004 when the establishment candidates was taken on in the primary and beat. Did I mention the primary establishment candidate had a mailer with Pres Bush for the primary but we beat him anyway. In the general, the RATs poured lots of money in for the RAT running who all of a sudden sounded more conservative then Dr. Coburn, but it didn’t work. Carson’s phony poll right before the election didn’t work either even though the Tulsa World ran with it.

Grassroots won the day in a statewide race in 2004 and we intend to do it again in Oklahoma in the Governor’s race for Cong Mary Fallin and once again for Dr. Tom.

How come the press in the UK can see through this Kenyan President we have, while our own press still has their lips clamped firmly on the Presidential posterior.

Well, apparently the UK does not suffer from "white guilt" or "reparation insanity," or whatever those terms may be used for extorting money or behavior control here in the u.S.

Also, they are a bit closer to countries that are now at the inevitable end result of control by Marxist bass-turds and can actually see their fellow members of the Press getting pushed up against a wall and having their heads blown off. Therefore they have a bit more enthusiasm and motivation for printing reality instead of pretty fairy tales.

Of course, that is just my opinion which I am told is influenced by my “bad attitude” toward having an anonymous Neo-Marxist “President.”

Why does it take the “Foreign” media to point this out?

“Note to rest of the world: Next time, but the Heck out of our election.”

excellent point.

If memory serves me correctly, Bush Derangement Syndrom extended all across Europe did it not?

I wonder how long it will take for them to remember him fondly?

This irks me to no end, how people complain about “rich” CEOs, etc, who get so much money.

But they NEVER complain about the bazillions made by “entertainers”, both artist-type and sports types, who basically contribute NOTHING to society. Hell, sports guys don’t even really work but HALF a year! And they get tons! In fact, people don’t complain - they CHEER these asshats!

This country is really screwed up in its priorities.

I agree. You use information is to reach the wrong conclusions.

“if we still have free elections”

Yes, or if obama hasn’t introduced so many stealth acts that we have been completely undermined. From another thread, the presidential “directive”(?) that brings Hamas to the U.S. If true, this is dangerous on many levels.

But he’s laying the groundwork for 2010 and 2012 if the GOP can get it’s act together and go back to basic Conservatism . . .

"If" is the key word here. I have never been so disappointed in the GOP as during these last eight years. Until the Country Club set is flushed from the party, or neutered, we will all screwed again and again.

The “stimulus” bill or you know you’re a liberal if you cannot think outside the Beltway box.

And so in 2 or 4 years the Republicans sweep into office.
Then what? Eliminate several cabinet departments such as Energy and Education? Fire every Democrat they can and put in good loyal conservatives (note I did not say Republicans). Marginal the MSM and Hollywood? Cut federal funding to every college of education in the US?
Somehow I am not optimistic even if the Republicans sweep back into office.
