They tell us that they did not vote for Obama BUT:
1. They want him to succeed.
2. He seems to be a Centrist.
3. We should not treat him like the Left has treated President Bush
Do we want him to succeed in implementing a socialist agenda and wealth redistribution? NO
Do we want him to succeed in giving the abortionists more power than they ever had? NO
Do we want him to succeed in implementing an appeasement and surrender foreign policy? NO
Do we want him to succeed in appointing the most left wing Supreme Court and federal judges? NO
Is he a Centrist? Only fools believe so. The man is the most left wing person to be elected President. His left wing principles are so deeply rooted in his character that it is an impossibility he is going to change. All his life from childhood till this very moment he has been exposed and has only believed and practiced left wing ideology. Only a fool believes that a 47 years old man who has lived all his life as a left wing liberal is going to suddenly change and becomes a Centrist. Only a fool will fall for some of Obama cabinet picks who do not appear to be left wing lunatics and conclude that Obama is a centrist because of that. Only a fool believes that the left wing socialist limousine liberals who put Obama in power are going to tolerate centrism in the government. They do not have to worry about this issue because Obama will never disappoint them.
We are not going to treat Obama the way the left wing liberals have treated President Bush. We are not going to hate him as a person and we are not going to wish him any personal ill as liberals have done to President Bush since 2000 and will continue to do so even after President Bush has left office. However we are going to work very hard to defeat Obama socialist domestic agenda and his defeatist foreign policy.
Therefore and based on the above, we should start the fight against Obama agenda right here on Free Republic and purge the carefully disguised Obama’s trolls. We already have a 24/7 utterly disgusting Obama propaganda by the liberal media and we do not need more of it on Free Republic. We are a conservative forum and for now at least we still have the freedom to ban people who want to spread Obama propaganda. This will be best and it will help us focus more on our message. I hope that the owner of Free Republic and the admin moderators agree and help us achieve this mission.
Obama hasn't presided yet. Who really knows how he's going to govern?
Here's some facts. America is still a center-right country. Obama knows this. Obama can try governing from the far Berkeley-Left and lose Congress to the Republicans (who will force him to the center) or govern from the center at the outset. Either way, we're going to be governed from the center.
*FR will be coopted into an Obama-assisting entity. Not gonna happen.*
It is close enough. To many 9/11 truthers, anti police for any reason, anti war. FR loaded with them.
“What leads you to believe this man is a “centrist”?”
Illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
Would somebody please explain what the heck a centrist is? I consider myself a centrist .. I try to stay centered on the truth. All in all, I seem to align well with Limbaugh and Reagan. Am I a centrist?
I consider Obama far left of the truth. So is McCain.
Hey Ali, we need more like you on FR
One of the few who has a clue.
With the media cheering him on, and far-leftists running the both houses, there is no way Obama is going to govern from the center. The only thing that will be centrist is the rhetoric from Obama's mouth.
Totally agree. I do not understand why some people are deluding themselves into believing that this man will not institute his socialist agenda on us.
There is no WE in FR.
I don’t call for banning or purges,,,it takes a particular kind of person to call for purges and banning.
I didn’t vote for Hussein, and I DON’T want him to succeed, if success means increased taxes and a massive increase in the size of the federal government.
Right on the money
There will be many things to criticize the President Elect on policy wise and why his policies are terrible for this nation
Lets focus on that, as opposed to fringe things such as “is he a Muslim” or “where was he born?”
If we stay on the offensive on policy issues we will differentiate ourselves from the lunatic left in this country and marginalize them
The key thing is FOCUS. FOCUS on what matters, the dangerous economic policies that the President Elect plans to put forward and his naive foreign policy, not silly stuff like birth certificates
“The bottom line to the whole COLB and citizenship is that, while Obama won the battle, the argument won the war”
Obama lost the argument, at least among rational people who follow the available evidence. If he wins the “battle” or “war” it will be because our institutions are too weak or cynical to confront him. But as Yogi Berra wisely noted, “It ain’t over till it’s over”.
“That is, the SCOTUS has officially reviewed the constitutional problem. They, discreetly, will let both political parties know that in future, they had *damn* well better vet their candidates, because if they try this stunt again, the SCOTUS will shoot them down without hesitation, and long before the end of primary season.”
There is no evidence I am aware of to support your personal speculations. So far as I know SCOTUS doesn’t issue discreet communications to political parties, just public rulings. And so far what they have done is fail to issue injunctions or grant certiorari. The next event is Congress counting the electoral votes on January 8th. Will one Congessman and one Senator rise to object, and force a roll call vote? We will soon know the answer to that question.
I want us conservatives to be able to weather the storm that Obama is about to create with his leftwing agenda but personally could care less for those who voted for this. I’m more of the mind that they should stew in their own soup for a few years. Hopefully we will see another Conservative in 2012 to finally lift us out of the mess we are about to enter into.
American success, yes. Socialist policy, heck no.
agree with you.
Oh I am 100% certain Obama will govern from the center. The center between Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy.
Also if we follow your logic why bother and be politically active or even vote since the President according to you has and will govern from the center no matter from what party he or she is.
**I didnt vote for obama.....but...**
I also did not vote for Castro, Stalin, Lenin, Guevara,or Chavez
And with ALL DUE RESPECT, I will give Obama all the respect he is due.. the same amount of respect HIS FOLLOWERS GAVE W for 8+ years.
And to the Llorts, if that isn’t good enough for you.. let me know, and I’ll get even WORSE!!
Banning is a policy of this forum as it is a policy of most internet forums who are considered conservative or liberal. Do you want people to come here and spread Obama propaganda and let them do it?
Where is this Obama propaganda? Example please, because personally,I haven’t seen it.
