He is getting the same respect that President Bush got; no more, no less.

Calm down? We’ve got a 6 year old who has trouble with tricycles trying to fly an F-22.
I will NOT clam down.
How is all of the past, present, and future legislative “leftist damage” on all of the issues successfully fixed to conservative, free market solutions instead for always, even if conservatives are ever successfully elected as a political majority sometime in the future? What the present leftists along with all of their friends are already seriously doing to the entire U.S. on all of the issues, is more than reason for all non-leftists to be profoundly concerned for both the short-term future and long-term future! It also should be seriously noted that this “leftist domination” is and has been an ongoing and worsening worldwide “leftist domination” and not just a problem for the U.S.!
I am seriously disappointed in David Horowitz. Perhaps the fact that he was one of them, at one time, prevents him from feeling the shock at the loss of freedom that accompanies Obama’s fascist agenda.
Just relax Germany and Italy, sure Hitler and Mussolini are bad, but they do have accomplishments. Don’t start sounding like the anti-Bush haters...
Fascism is Fascism David.
Don't get calmer people, get more riled!
My two cents: Horowitz is more right than wrong. Yes, the press is a huge part of O’s success. But, O knows what his agenda is, and a lot of plans were in place for Day 1. We do the conservative cause a disservice by relegating him to idiocy. Wrong, yes. Naive, yes. But also, shrewd, goal oriented and focused. A thoroughly tough opponent, and we are going to have to be very shrewd, tough and focused to turn this around.
Calm down? Hmmm... NFW!!! Our calmness has been America’s downfall.
Conservatives’ problem is that they’re... well... conservative, and are pretty much for staying out of other people’s business. Our live-and-let-live, free-will-of-man attitude has created huge problems for America. We should be as active as the left-wing whackos have been. They may be over-the-top weird, but at least they’re organized and get their ideas out. I think it’s too late for us.
Why should we calm down?
I am calm, David. But when a president and his administration suck, I find it useful to say so. Calmly, pleasantly, and with good humor, yes, I can do that...but these guys suck the big one.
I see no limit to the grounds for castigating this tyrant, I see no horizon beyond which it could be considered unreasonable to oppose him, and I see no possible universe in which his presence would be considered beneficial.
I note "temporarily" because that was the intent Bush operated under but BHO is not credible in say he intends to relinquish control; see my title
IMO, we need to be more “over the top”, in other words more strident, more vocal and more activism, if that is what it takes to get this communist traitor to our country out of the WH.
It’s rare when I am in such profound disagreement with David Horowitz.
It'll save us some self-delusion, I suppose, which is generally a good thing, but there is, to all of this screaming, a definite element of giving the Dems back what they gave Bush all those years. It's fun, it's healthy, it blows off steam, and they have it coming in spades. I wouldn't go making any policy decisions on its basis, though, but I don't get the general sense that people are doing that. Could be wrong, of course.
What people are shouting is less indicitave than what they are doing. For one thing, people may shout that Obama is the Antichrist but nobody's really barricading the churches yet (although I must point out that him sacrificing those goats on the White House lawn might have been a tipoff). On the other hand, Obama has not made any overt anti-gun moves to date and yet firearms and ammunition are flying off the shelves like party favors on New Year's Eve. Clearly people are taking action on that, hence that is what they really believe. (And I happen to agree).
I do think Obama is an uninformed internationalist when it comes to foreign policy, advised by equally uninformed internationalists, and that this might commit the United States to erroneous and harmful policies. That's a cause for considerable personal anxiety. Others' mileages may vary. Domestically he's a redistributive Democrat but we knew that going in. His approach toward mandatory voluntary student universal service/labor/whateverthehell the current flavor is, is nothing short of grotesque but I suspect the native American skepticism toward youth regimentation will serve as a corrective. That doesn't mean I don't reserve the right to object to it with vigor and enthusiasm.
So I'll take the middle course. I'll scream calmly. Come on, Dave, buddy, take your own advice. Politics isn't any fun if you can't demonize your opponent just a little bit. ;-)
Perhaps not, but he's anti-capitalist, anti-Bill-of-Rights, anti-American sovereignty....
Just plain anti-American.
