Whether Obama knows it or not, and whether his campaign staff knows it or not, the core belief system of the Obama campaign is codepinkthink. Most of their efforts in this campaign are devoted to making a leftist ideology look as far to the right as is humanly possible when its deepest roots are opposition to the military, religion and the free market.
Yes, I do believe leftists can blind themselves to their own ideology and its evils. I dont know who are worse, the tyrants of leftism or the mere useful idiots. Perhaps all leftists truly believe, somewhere inside, that their cause is just. Sometimes I think the true tyrants are only found in the depths of Hell, while the Stalins, Alinskies and Soroses are in the end only puppets. But corruption taints the will of fools and scoundrels alike.
Heres what David Axelrod, Obamas chief political strategist, said on MSNBC this morning at around five minutes to eight, and I paraphrase: Americans who have served in Iraqthose who have come homehave served their country honorably.
In my opinion (admittedly, I'm just a regular guy) the only way to make a statement like this, speaking on national television as chief political strategist of a presidential candidate, is in association with a deep, unspoken hatred for the military.
Barack Obama: Friends with Bill Ayers? Trained by Saul Alinsky? Pastored by Jeremiah Wright?
And we know these things despite Obamas protection by a biased media. Whats out there we dont know about yet?
No, not in the name of manhood - he won’t know what that means.
You’re overthinking this - just repeat this : Hope, change, hope, change...
the Barack Hussein Obama mantra. Sipping some Kool-aid before your meditation could help, too.
I’m not in the mood to joke around about this.
Adolph Hitler and the Nazis were so totally frightful in what they did in Russia that they accomplished the otherwise impossible: they made Joe Stalin a genuine popular hero. Obama and the Obamaniacs are rapidly doing the same thing for McCain, in spite of McCain’s best efforts to the contrary.
What more do you need to know??? If not another negative fact or inconvenient truth comes out about Obama between now and November, it doesn't matter. I have, by now, heard and seen enough to tell me what I need to know about him.
He is NOT the man we need in the WH and will do us NO good.
I don't know whether it's true or not, but I know one thing: The Democrats must be stopped!
Imagine Barack Obama in the White House, Pelosi as Speaker of the House, and a filibuster-proof Democrat majority in the Senate!
Imagine what they would do to our nation! It would never recover!
Imagine what they would appoint to the Supreme Court!
This is the circulating email:
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below...............
Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 4 01K and Mutual Funds)! Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening.
She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' ( I am not rich, are you)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it.
Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind!
So you would rather have the real deal?
Except to get us a real conservative elected in 2016, who will roll back high taxes, repeal the National Health Care Act, and fight the terrorists who have murdered so many Americans in the interval.
You forget one thing: he’s black. The media is not going to let the first black president be exposed for the dangerous uber-lib that he is. They are too mired in the web of political correctness to let that happen. I dare say if Jimmy Carter was black, we would have an entirely different image of him portrayed by the media.
In my opinion (admittedly, I'm just a regular guy) the only way to make a statement like this, speaking on national television as chief political strategist of a presidential candidate, is in association with a deep, unspoken hatred for the military.
It's faint praise to even have to say it.I am put in mind of the commencement address I monitored via webcast since I couldn't be there in person. And the speaker gave his entire talk about public service in the aftermath of 9/11/01 . . . without ever mentioning the possibility of joining the military.
What does it mean when someone spends his life "fighting oppression" in the contemporary United States? Pretty much, it means picking a fight with someone you know is not dangerous. A fair definition of a bully, don't you think? And that is pretty much where Obama and Hillary come from.
Thought this particular guy was Hitlery's "guiding light"....??
If Obama’s weakness, gullibility and luke-warm patriotism cost even one American life, it's too high a price for anyone's entitlement. I don't believe the founding fathers meant our military to buy Americans that kind of a free ride at the expense of hard working taxpayers and I don't think they meant American taxpayers and honest citizens to be the helpless victims of a President so gullible and arrogant he doesn't know an enemy from apple butter!!!
David Dinkins is black, too - but that didn't prevent his defeat for reelection as Mayor of NY City in 1993. By Rudi Guiliani, after Bill Clinton had told us that it would be racist to vote against Dinkins. If "liberal" NYC can defeat a black for reelection, I think the country as a whole can defeat a black for election when it's plain that he has no love for the majority of the people of the country.I suspect that Obama will poll well right up to election day - and tank when the voters step into the privacy of the voting booth and consider what it would mean for their family if an anti-America racist was naming the judges and the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General and so forth.
This election is not likely to be a nail-biter because neither candidate will have their base nailed down tight and a solid claim on the affections in the middle. The whole country will be purple - and whatever tips it, will tip it big.
I understand your point and many others are making it. However, like Clinton 1993 the entire focus will be on him and his supermajority and the press will not be able to resist the juicy screw up stories their competition will be luring readers/watchers with. Plus all his unrealistic promises that Marxism cant deliver.
Understand the the current dynamics of Republicans through Bush being to blame for everything bad can only continue if McCain wins. A no power democrat dealing mCCain can only take on all Bush’s apparent sins. But Obama with supermajority is too tempting, it’s the only story. Clinton had no bad press in 1992, built him up like Obama, in 1993 and 1994 they tore him down. They couldnt resist.
Taking from hardworking citizens to give to the slothful and the non citizen will remove the incentive to work hard.
A society that takes from each according to ability and gives to each according to need creates little ability and a lot of need.
The point I was trying to make is that whatever mischief Obama does will be permanent. People are mistaken if they think a “real” conservative elected in 2012 or 2016 is going to simply pick up where the country left off in ‘08.
His voting record in the Senate is proof.
He and his campaign managers deserve a great deal if credit--as they have done an incredibly masterful job of hiding, blurring and obscuring that fact.
