Conservatives throwing away allies by ZOTting gay trolls.
Hillbuzz ^ | May 8 2010 | Hillbuzz

Posted on 05/08/2010 10:24:28 PM PDT by d55may

This is another instance of breaking the Fourth Wall, but we want to share something that happens consistently to us that we’re just incredibly puzzled by, since we don’t see how behavior like this helps in any way to remove the current president and his corrupt party from power.

That’s our goal, see, and it’s something we are putting everything we have into. We put everything we had into stopping Obama from becoming president from 2007-2008 because we knew what he would do to this country. We did everything we could to stop him in the primaries. We put aside all of our preconceptions and personal bad feelings for the Republican Party and started up Democrats for McCain efforts — in Chicago, of all places — to do all we could to stop him from winning the general election. Post-election, we’ve done everything we could to rally as many people out there as possible to thwart his insane plans as much as possible. We do this because we love this country and do not want to see it go backwards — or, worse, to fall into ruin like Greece or other failed European, South American, or African states, the way this president wants the United States to become “just one of 190 countries in the world”. We truly believe this man wants to abdicate America’s, and the West’s, supremacy in the world…which benefits only this country’s enemies, most especially the would-be Global Caliphate of Islam.

So, we’ve put everything on the line to do everything we can every day to defeat Democrats in the coming November elections, always with an eye on making sure Obama does not get a second term in 2012. The Democrat Party needs to be taken down, completely destroyed, with the Earth salted so that Leftists can never again have so much sway over our government.

To say we are pretty committed is an understatement. These efforts have cost us everything, but it’s all worth it if we can help in any way to foil Obama’s plans.

So, considering all of this, it’s head-scratchingly bizarre that we are routinely attacked not just by the Left (which has reason to attack us), but the Right as well.

We’ve told you this before, about threads we read on Redstate and Ace of Spades, where moderators allow anti-gay comments to flourish — and there’s a decision made behind the scenes, clearly, to allow homophobia to run rampant on sites such as these which have a policy of banning people who bring up Birtherism or Trutherism and other things Redstate and Ace have decided they do not want to be associated with. So, when comments that are anti-gay are allowed to stand, while others are purposefully removed because they embarrass those sites, we have no other conclusion to draw other than Redstate and Ace believe homophobia is hilariously funny and something they want to embrace with relish.

It’s the same garbage over at Free Republic as well. Check out this thread, where someone posted a link to the Ann Coulter piece we did a few days ago.

It is almost instantly filled up with the most sophomoric, vile anti-gay jokes and sentiment imaginable.

Thankfully, some commenters scolded those responsible, but there really is a sickness amongst some people who call themselves both “religious” and “conservative”, who enjoy posting pictures with a “fudge-packing” theme.

We’d like to address this for a minute, while also giving some pushback to the apocryphal meme on the Right that enjoys attacking PUMAs and paradoxically blaming us for a McCain defeat in 2008 (when more Democrats voted for McCain than voted for Reagan in 1980…meanwhile, 6 million Republicans sat their sorry butts home because McCain was not “Reagan” enough for them, so they allowed what they claimed would be “Carter II” to become president, insisting he wouldn’t “be that bad”. Jackasses).

First of all, if you, in the year 2010, are making fudge-packing jokes, there’s a 99% chance you are gay yourself and either won’t admit it, are terrified of someone figuring you out, or you are too stupid or too much of an alcoholic to accept your own reality.

Those jokes aren’t funny, guys. Maybe they were before the advent of the internet, television, or even the radio. Maybe they were funny before people could read and write. Heck, there are people out there who think Carrot Top and Cedric the Entertainer are funny, so it’s true there is no accounting for taste. But, posting a picture of a fudge-factory to randomly take a swipe at gay guys — WHO ARE ON YOUR SIDE — is just so pointless and counterproductive.

Just how gay are YOU that you need to seize every possible opportunity to take a smack against someone else who’s gay?

Because we picture you sneaking into your mother’s basement, where you still live, at 42, and gingerly pulling back the old plaid blanket you use as a room divider. You creep behind the curtain and carefully unstack piles of Sports Illustrateds and Playboys you use as camouflage, to reveal hidden plastic milk crates full of all your treasures: the complete collected works of Barbara Streisand on mint-condition vinyl, vintage muscle posing strap catalogs from the 50s, your Charlie Crist for Senate campaign memorabilia, and an admittedly impressive collection of My Little Ponies. You won’t admit to your mother or anyone else that you are secretly gay, and you think nobody on Earth knows about your secret stash. You honestly believe no one suspects the reason you don’t have a girlfriend is that you “just haven’t met the right one yet”, and you think people really buy “it’s the economy, and I’m just saving up for a downpayment on a place” as the reason you still live with your mother. At 42. In her basement. While playing with dolls.

So, of course, to deflect attention off yourself, you seize every opportunity available to you to “rag on dem fags”. Hence, your fudge-packing photos.

What a clear sign of projection.

Which also ties into the weird attacks on PUMAs that still turn up on sites like Free Republic.

John McCain would be president today if 6 million Republicans hadn’t sat their sorry butts home on Election Day 2008, “to teach the GOP a lesson”. It’s as simple as that, folks. He lost states by the slimmest of margins because Republicans did not give him the support they gave to George W. Bush in 2004. Meanwhile, more Democrats crossed the aisle and voted for McCain/Palin than ever before in history. There were more Democrats for McCain/Palin than there were Reagan Democrats in 1980. We at HillBuzz are not anomalous. In every state where we have friends and family, people who voted Democrat blindly their entire lives pulled the lever for McCain/Palin and thus cast a Republican ballot for the first time ever. It was an immense culture shock to do so — like an all expenses paid sojourn to BizarroWorld in many cases, but we did it.

George Soros and the others behind the September financial meltdown gave Obama a lock on the election — when coupled with those 6 million conservatives who sat on the couches, in their diapers, and refused to vote for McCain. That is established fact.

Obama did not win, as the MSM loves to insist, because of an overwhelming surge of black, college-age, and first time immigrant voters that will guarantee Democrats a permanent majority forever. That is Orwellian propaganda from the Ministry of Truth, aka, our agenda-driven national media. Obama won because conservatives let him win. Conservatives dropped the ball and sat their sorry butts home.

You can continue to bizarrely attack Democrats who crossed the aisle to vote for McCain all you want, but you look insane doing it. Your argument is untenable and ridiculous, and goes something like: ”It’s all those PUMAs fault. There weren’t enough of them to make up for the 6 million conservatives who didn’t vote, so I hate PUMAs and gays are all fudge-packers and uh, Ma, I’m on the Internet, leave me alone, NO! I don’t want any more Fruit Roll-Ups. GEEEEESH!”.

You are a closeted gay male who is self-hated, so you project this by posting “fudge-packing” photos attacking gays.

You are a loser conservative who sat his ass home in 2008 “to teach the GOP a lesson” and now realize how mentally ill you were, so you project the contempt you feel for your self and your incredibly poor decisions on Democrats like us who did everything we could — at immense persona cost — to stop Obama from becoming president and destroying this country.

What did you do in the 2008 campaign to help Republicans win? We bet you sat your ass on the couch, or maybe you spent your time on message boards telling other conservatives they should stay home on election day “to teach the GOP a lesson”. That’s been your ridiculous, pathetic little mantra for umpteen years now. And yet, you have no idea how intensely foolish you are…because the DNC is what’s always been encouraging that garbage. It only helps the Left to think that way, or to do off on one of your insane third-party Libertarian jags. ”Keep it up”, the DNC cheers, “this is how we keep winning elections when only 20% of the country is Liberal, but damn near 60% of the conservative base is foolish enough to fall for this amateur hour garbage!”.

We’d like to see a day when Redstate, Ace of Spade, Free Republic, and other conservative sites wise up and start policing their comments and content for anti-gay attacks, the same as they moderate for racist jabs. We’re 100% positive posters would be banned for making racial jokes, using the “n-word”, and posting images relating to anti-black stereotypes. The fudge-packing tripe was acceptable to sites like this, but we’re sure pictures of watermelon eating contests or lynchings would be verboten. As they should be.

The real irony in all of this is just how much damage conservatives do to themselves by attacking gays — and they don’t even realize it.

Lesbians, in particular, are naturally conservative, but the Right doesn’t realize this. Ever go shopping with a lesbian? It’s an all-day, sometimes all-week process, to find the best deal on something. Lesbians will drive hours out of their way to save $10 on something, if they calculate the gas mileage and wear on the car comes out to $7.00 or less for the trip, if they net a $1.50 savings at least on that item, they are buying it clear across town. They are like this with everything. It’s amazing. They honestly should be Republicans — every last one of them, from Ellen down to Rosie with every lesbian in between. Republicans one and all.

The reason they aren’t Republicans is because they don’t feel welcome in the GOP, because of the very loud and vocal anti-gay contingent, particularly those that call themselves “religious”. So, women who should be voting their economic best interests…who should not be paying enormous taxes as property owners to fund the graft and corruption that benefits only the black community and other Democrat pet voting blocs (because, face it, the DNC does not send any money to lesbians, and does not fund any largesse in the LGBTQ community…which is an island left to fend for itself at all times)…consistently vote Democrat because they don’t really have another option.

People making those fudge-packing, anti-gay remarks take that option away from them.

The same is true for gay men, but they are not as sensible and financially savvy as lesbians. Gay men don’t care what happens to their money, by and large, and often spend their entire paychecks the weekend of pay day. We wish that wasn’t true, but it is. So, before they can vote in their economic best interests they need a better handle on economics in general. What keeps them voting Democrat is the fact that Redstate, Ace of Spades, Free Republic, and other sites keep reinforcing all the boogeyman stereotypes the Left puts out about Republicans. 99% of gay men believe everything they hear Anderson Cooper or Keith Olbermann say on TV. ”Republicans are evil, Brenden, I heard it from some guy who saw it on TV.” ”Oh, I know, Brenden #2, they are so evil. I heard from someone who said he was told by the guy at the Starbucks, you know, the really cute one, that those religious people hate us and make those fudge-packer jokes, and so I just hate them back and anyone who is gay that votes Republican is a Jewish Nazi”. ”Oh, Brenden, that’s totally deep.” ”I know, right, Coop said it the other day, and he’s just totally dreamy”.

We wish we were kidding. That’s practically an actual conversation in Boystown.

Gay men don’t stop to think about how much voting Republican would benefit them, because the Left has effectively prevented them from ever considering the option by promoting the meme that gay men voting GOP are “Jewish Nazis”…and are only giving support to the ignorant, bigoted, loudmouth, “religious” idiots like those posting that fudge-packing photo.

So, every time a conservative lets one of these people get away with that garbage — and every time Redstate, Ace, or Free Republic allows a photo like that to be displayed and an attitude like that to stand — you are only helping the Left.

We could write 25,000 more words on the subject, and we still won’t be able to come up with any way to get that to sink in for those of you out there who are either too stupid or too blind to realize this — BUT YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY ALIENATING NATURAL ALLIES WHEN YOU ALLOW HOMOPHOBIA TO STAND UNCHALLENGED IN CONSERVATIVE RANKS.

2008 proved, definitively, that a few votes here and there make all the difference in the world.

We all know nothing will ever magically increase the intelligence of conservative voters who choose to sit home and let someone like Obama win, because they want “to teach the GOP a lesson”. These people have serious mental problems if they really believe that’s what they are accomplishing. You might as well just consider those fools to be Democrat votes all along.

BUT, we truly believe in 10-15 years a sizable portion of the LGBTQ vote could indeed be going to the GOP — if only these ignorant bigots would stop handing these votes to the Left by encouraging and promoting the stereotypical hate the Left uses to paint conservatives as boogeymen.

There is truly no reason on Earth for a conservative to ever attack us here at HillBuzz.

If your goal is to stop Obama, then we are on your side.

If your goal is to defeat every Democrat in office currently, then we are on your side.

If your goal is to see Sarah Palin in the White House, then we are on your side.

If you’re one of those khaki pants and blue blazer little Romney punks, then we’re kind of your worst nightmare because we’re going to make sure he, Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, and other cucumbers-and-mayonnaise bland losers do NOT get the GOP nomination.

But, if you’re a firebrand, take-no-prisoners, in-your-face, boot-the-socialists-from-office conservative, then we hope you have sense enough to accept an ally that’s not only ready and willing to fight to the end — but who is battle-tested, field-trained, and runs a daily operation with readership in the tens of thousands and is laser-focused on defeating the absolute worst president this nation has ever had.

Attacking us is counter productive.

We understand the hits we take from the Left on a daily basis — clearly, we are effective on some level, or they would just leave us alone and ignore us. The fact we’re such a high target for them must mean we’re doing something right.

So, it makes no sense for the Right to take punches at us too.

We really wish those of you out there who frequent Redstate, Ace, and Free Republic would put a stop to that garbage. Trolls can indeed be banned. They should be banned.

If your goal is to win in 2010 and in 2012, we just can’t see the logic in alienating any allies…and, longterm, we just don’t understand why you want to keep throwing away the LGBTQ vote when the only thing you have to do to start winning it is to just stop the sophomoric hate and insipid anti-gay jokes.

That’s it.

Cut that crap out, initiate zero tolerance policies towards it, and win more elections.

It is that simple, folks.

You would probably not know that a “Gay Conservative” was gay. He or she wouldn’t wave it in everybody’s face like liberals do.

The author clearly does not ... cannot see ... the bigger picture. Would Conservatives really be further ahead if John McCain had won? Not at all. The Tea Party movement would not be sweeping the nation if another RINO had been permitted POTUS.

So..in your convoluted logic, it is ok that our Nation has been seized by Communists/Marxists...and we really should thank the 6 million freaking idiots that sat on their asses on 11/04/2008, and help usher in this catastrophic situation. After all it resulted in the Tea Party movement. You must be out of your mind. Excuse me if I don't share in your 'silver lining' outlook. We are now faced with the very real possibility that this Nation is going to collapse. We are being served up to our enemies, both domestic and foreign, on a silver platter. Our economy is in the tank and it's just a matter of time before a true crash happens. We've got a usurper in office continually stoking racial tension and hatred toward....patriotic people. We are continually mocked and ridiculed by every decision made and depravity is now the norm. The current marxists are taking glee in dismantling the foundation of this country. But thanks to the idiots that sat home, we now have tea parties and it's a good thing.../s One thing I'm relatively certain of, McCain would have never packed the WH with avowed America haters, communists or moral reprobates. And Palin was in the wings in the event that something happened to McCain.

I see the big picture now and I saw the big picture in 2008. Did you?

Also it is weird that you defend homosexuality by repeatedly accusing your critics of being gay.

When black people start invading schools and churches to both indoctrinate and force people to think they way the gays want them to think, knocking old people to the ground and telling everyone who disagrees with them to shut up, trying to stifle free speech, then maybe you can say something. Otherwise I find it offensive when anyone tries to equate anything gay with blacks.

You can peddle their degeneracy somewhere else.

A few of the nastier aspects of the homosexual agenda:

- Catholic Charities in California can no longer place kids for adoption in our state because it is against their beliefs to place kids with homosexual couples. They had operated successfully in California for decades and placed thousands of children.
• A Christian photographer was forced by the New Mexico Civil Rights Commission to pay $6,637 in attorney’s costs after she refused to photograph a gay couple’s commitment ceremony.
• A psychologist in Georgia was fired after she declined for religious reasons to counsel a lesbian about her relationship. Even though she referred the client to a supportive psychologist.
• Christian fertility doctors in California who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian patient were barred by the state Supreme Court from invoking their religious beliefs in refusing treatment.
• A Christian student group was not recognized at a University of California law school because it denies membership to anyone practicing sex outside of traditional marriage.
- We have homosexual sex promoted in our public schools starting in kindergarten.
- Wanda Sykes is regularly lecturing teenage boys on a tv PSA that it is not ok to use “gay” as a perjorative, and that they’d best shut up and submit to the current dogma.
- Big Brothers/Sisters now places at risk kids with same sex homosexual adults. Even though homosexuals molest at a far higher rate than heterosexuals. They will not of course place straight men with minor girls or straight women with minor boys.
- The Sea Scouts have lost their decades old slip for their ship in Berkeley because the Scouts don’t allow homosexual men to be troop leaders. Troop leaders take kids on overnight camps that last as long as two weeks.

To compare this garbage to the struggle for basic human right for black people is obscene.

Where did you get that list?
A few weeks ago, the television program “The Doctors” featured high school aged students and their questions to the doctors about STD’s. Over and over, the parents and the doctors marveled at the prevalence of anal sex among teenagers. The teens seemed amused.
I could see the eyes of the teens glaze over every time one of the physicians said “Young people don’t realize that they are engaging in a VERY high risk behavior.” The repetition of the doctors’ warnings and the students’ blank attitudes finally made me realize that the young simply cannot conceive of anal sex imparting a higher level of risk than hetero sex because such information has been unavailable to them their entire lives. The fear of ‘stigmatizing’ the gay community has suppressed standard medical information to the point where teens do not heed or believe medical cautions about anal sex. So the list you provided was a suprise. Wonder if publicizing percentages of STD’s and types of STD’s per gay/straight community would influence the young to greater caution?

“John McCain would be president today if 6 million Republicans hadn’t sat their sorry butts home on Election Day 2008, “to teach the GOP a lesson”.”

You’re absolutely right. The United States is now in very real danger becoming a totalitarian thugocracy, devoid of rule of law and the right to the pursuit of happiness. And if John McCain were now president, that we would be in no such peril, even though conservatives would have plenty else to grumble about.

Once the United States loses it’s identity as a free country where the rights of government are limited, groups considered of no immediate use to “society” will be expendable (think old people who will be denied health care for the “greater good”). It will be only a matter of time for the “inferior races” and the “defective” or “deviant” groups to be either terminated or phased out by forceful methods.

So what if Republican party includes some religious fundamentalists who think all homosexuals will end up in hell? Most Republicans are conservatives or libertarians who are all about limiting the power of government. Conservatives, by nature, are people who in live and let live. They are self reliant and not prone to call on government to enforce “fairness”.

“Fairness” legislation is a two edged sword, and poses a far greater a danger to minority groups than the momentary psychological benefit they might gain by seeing someone punished for making some slur. Consider Hitler’s final solution to the fact that a Jewish minority had a disproportionate share of Germany’s wealth. This is government’s way of enforcing “fairness”. By contrast, there’s the conservative approach. Milton Freedman’s take on the persistence of anti semitism was that people who hate one another will cooperate to make money.

Gays ought to stop needlessly promoting resentment against their own kind. Abandon this drive to make “gay marriage” legal. Legalizing gay marriage is just another leftist device to deconstruct the traditions that perpetuate American civilization. And ending “don’t ask don’t tell” will lead to gay exhibitionism by gay activists, destroying morale.

Vote Republican. Vote for limited government so you too can continue to live and let live.

I met an ER doctor a while ago. Doctors call the list I posted “Lavender Diseases” due to the high number of cases unique to the gay male community.

Gays at my former workplace protested the company’s blood donor incentive: if you donated blood, you ‘earned’ 2 hours paid time off. Some of the gays protested that this policy was bigoted. I remember being bewildered about how this policy could possibly affect gays more than straights because really, the medical rates of infection are studiously blurred by the media in support of sensitivity; I just don’t think about it. Oh I know there is HIV but we are ‘informed’ routinely that straights are the next HIV epidemic and rates of hetero HIV in Africa are daunting indeed. So suddenly, if you support 2 hours off for blood donor - you are insensitive bigot. You cannot consider rates of HIV, Hepatitus etc. as relevant or you are a bigot? So you can’t incentivize blood donation at all?

Not only do you have a poor understanding of liberty (rights), but also of history.

Homosexuality and heterosexuality have never been on equal footing........never has, is not now, and never will be...........sure, laws can be written to "make it so" and judges can "decree it such".........

But, packing human fudge, packing dog fudge and packing horse fudge...........not one of these is a natural right, never has been, is not now, and never will be...........

Nature, society and the words of Providence testify against it........from the dawn of mankind until this very day.

As a side note........if there is a nicer way to say "packing fudge", would someone on this thread pass that along to me.........

It truly amazes me how two percent of the population try to have their filthy disease ridden lifestyle made acceptable and normal. I have never known a gay man or woman who is happy with their life. The men are pedophiles too.

This is a curious rant. Hillbuzz disapproves of juvenile name calling, petty insults and stereotyping but engages in the same.

Here’s the thing... Speaking for myself.... I DON’T CARE! What they do in their bedroom is as important to me as what they eat for breakfast.

Live your life. Do your thing. Have at it. Whatever floats your boat. Just stop demanding my affirmation and approval and quit with the name calling and accusations when I won’t give it.

It is far better to have zero tolerance for sexual perversion, such as BGLT movements, than to ignore or condone their behavior.

Show me where McCain lost by narrow margins in large enough states to swing the election and I may start to accept some of the premises of this rant.

I didn’t vote for McCain, have no intention of EVER voting for McCain and have channeled money to help J.D. Hayworth oust McCain but I also hail from a conservative state where McCain still won so my vote was inconsequential. If I’m part of this “six million” the author rants about, I have no regrets.

I don’t see the point in needlessly bashing homosexuals who want conservative values to succeed but homosexuals must understand that we on the Right have had 30 years of gays and lesbians forcing their values on us and on our children beginning in day care and upward. Any alliance is always going to be a wary one because most conservatives would prefer that homosexuals stop flaunting their perversions as if they were medals of honor.

Can’t you just be adults? Americans? MUST you define yourselves by who you have sex with?

I’m all for anyone who wants to stop the spread of communism that has reached our shores but I’m not about to suffocate my own values just to add a few more voices to the party who could drive away more voters than they attract.

Politics is a rough sport and one has to set aside some differences to make majorities work but it means two sides have to set aside differences, not just one. I don’t see the need to attack people who want the same political goals as you do but I also don’t see the need to bow down just because somebody wants to cross the aisle and switch sides.

Maybe if you kept the focus on defeating Obamunism and not on sharing your bedroom habits, you’ll find conservatives more agreeable and perhaps find more common interests.

So then, all those words and the bottom line is in his view if you criticize or joke about gays, you must then be gay yourself.

It just doesn’t get any dopier then that.

Absolutely not.

we really should thank the 6 million freaking idiots that sat on their asses on 11/04/2008

Voting is a civic duty and I would not thank any citizen for neglecting it

help usher in this catastrophic situation

And who else helped ... the libs, the RNC, the unions, the illegals, the elderly and the youth, etc, etc.

After all it resulted in the Tea Party movement.

Yes, it did. And what a shock that was. I certainly didn't expect it. Like I said, I got out and voted myself (but only for Mrs. Palin's sake).

You must be out of your mind. Excuse me if I don't share in your 'silver lining' outlook. We are now faced with the very real possibility that this Nation is going to collapse. We are being served up to our enemies, both domestic and foreign, on a silver platter. Our economy is in the tank and it's just a matter of time before a true crash happens. We've got a usurper in office continually stoking racial tension and hatred toward....patriotic people.

I agree with everything you've said ... except the part about me being out of my mind. After all, if I agree with you, and I am out of my mind, well then you might be too, and we know that's not the case.

We are continually mocked and ridiculed by every decision made and depravity is now the norm. The current marxists are taking glee in dismantling the foundation of this country. But thanks to the idiots that sat home, we now have tea parties and it's a good thing.

Let's hold off on the sarcasm until November. We have the opportunity to transform the usurper you speak of into a lame duck pres__ent before he finishes his second year in office. Wow! That's never been done, but I see it happening. Carter didn't even have it that bad. And yes, the tea parties have a great deal to do with it, and yes it's a good thing.

One thing I'm relatively certain of, McCain would have never packed the WH with avowed America haters, communists or moral reprobates. And Palin was in the wings in the event that something happened to McCain. I see the big picture now and I saw the big picture in 2008. Did you?

We voted for the lesser of two evils ... again ... and each time we have done so we have swirled a little closer to toilet's drain. You wanted to be the slow-boiled frog by electing Gang of 14, stab in the back, level the playing field, amnesty for illegals, "the base will get in line" McCain. Perhaps I did too. And I am relatively certain we would only have seen "more of the same" from him had he attained office.

Good bad or indifferent, we didn't get our wish. Our team lost. And now the pot is on a fast boil and twice the number of frogs are anxious to get out. Yes, I see the big picture. A landslide is coming. And if these are the sour grapes from a failed election by a RINO candidate ... well I guess they don't taste as bitter to me as I had anticipated they would.

Homosexuality and heterosexuality have never been on equal footing...never has, is not now, and never will be.

God smote Sodom and Gomorrah for their deviancy. Even had the citizens supported low taxes and limited government, it's doubtful that He would have mitigated His Divine Judgment.

I can’t believe you would compare McCain to Obama in
terms of ideologypolicy or maturity.

We sure wouldn’t have socialized medicine and the complete anarchy in our economy. Obama is not yet 1.5 yrs into his term and look what’s happening.

I thank those conservative puritans who had a hissy-fit
and didn’t vote because we now have the most corrosive anti-American government ever. There are no garauntees that Obama
is a one termer.
