I agree. You know what was most distasteful about this? I transcribed the entire thing using speech recognition software, so I had to read the whole bloody thing and then proofread it.

(it was only available as a crappy PDF of a photocopy...and it was painful to look at, much less read)

Yes, he did write it. It is childish and sophomoric, but that may be what is equally disturbing about it, that he maintains these views to this day.

“True patriotism is not boisterous or loud.”

Tell that to Sam Adams.

Is it just me, or am I being too oversensitive in thinking that remark was a jab at us protestors?

That's precisely what it was.

I think these surfaced during Kerry’s campaign when he spoke to the VFW.

He’s head flipping at 20+ per minute.
That’s always an indicator of nervousness.
When calmer, he headflips in the 12-16 range.

*****

Oh, thanks very much for the morning laugh! Tears and out loud chuckles.

Now if I am forced to watch the O, I will count his cadence, as one would count respirations.

Nervousness index or
Hostile Audience index.

This man grew up loathing, fearing or ignorant of all military associations. All of his personal connections in his entire life have been anti-military. He must still feel very queasy when in the presence of service members or veterans.

The head flipping is a calculated part of the memsmerization process.

The trick is not to watch and listen to Obama at the same time.

Do one or the other, but not both.

Then your brain’s logic center can overcome the massive loads of BS, straw man arguments, and lies that he sputters to overwhelm your mental defenses.

This is not humor. That is why he needs a teleprompter—he needs certain speech patterns to basically hypnotise his audience. Neuro-linguistic programming—and he is good at it.

That is why he nevers does well off-prompter.

“True patriotism is not boisterous or loud”

Since when did his opinion decide what was patriot? And this is coming from the one whose wife was just recently proud of America, ohhhkay then.

52 rather than 48? Hmmm. How do Muslims calculate their ages? I know Ramadan moves each year. Maybe Obama is using the same calendar?

Go to post 307 on this thread, it has the you tube link. In part 2 at approx the 8 minute mark, obama is laying out why he is cutting systems, that is where the "joke" is made about the new Marine one and and the country being Nuked.

Not at all-and there’s a biiiiiig difference between silent symbolic disrespect and what the Bush haters have done. If you can’t see that,I don’t know what else to say to you. You’re talking apples and pinecones when it comes to the “respect” given to Bush and the respect given to the likes of Zero.

“They moved Bastogne to Holland?”

I did not get that memo. It must be a communist plot.

"Good point. A little while back, I compared Ronald Reagan’s statements on the Communist crackdown on the Polish Solidarity members and Obama’s statement on Iran.

The pronoun “I” does not appear once in Reagan’s statement.

The pronoun “I” appears fourteen times in Obama’s statement."

“Two teleprompters.”

Son of TOTUS has made an appearance? TOTUS 1 publically committed suicide, didn’t it?

I am very resistant to his NLP. I cannot watch or listen, because I do not willingly subject my brain cells to such condescension, lies and mind-bending. I don’t spend time listening to people selling stuff at state fairs, either, or the three card monte guys in NYC.

‘If it is anything like Viacommie’s coverage of the Concert for NYC (after 9-11). They will DUB IN applause for the leaders (Hillary was famously booed by the police officers and firemen present and on rebroadcast, CBS dubbed in cheers and that is what you’ll find released on DVD).’

Wow, thanks for reminding me about that. I remember watchig that (awesome) concert. They booed Hillary from the second she started talking to the second she stopped talking. She was a trooper about it, I’ll give her credit for that. Second awesome part of the concert: Elton John singing ‘Mona Lisa’s and Mad Hatters.’ Anyway, Hillary got crushed. Bill C. was received warmly, if I remember correctly.
