Charles supported Van Jones????

He claimed not to but in fact Charles has been attacking Jones' critics relentlessly and seeking to rebut specific criticisms of Jones as well.

Typical leftist anti-anti-communism. It's the old "I'm no communist but it is McCarthy/Nixon/Chambers who are the real threat to our freedom" line.

Look at 0bama’s body language. He is a bitter, angry man.

As I said on another thread, hope Beck has downloaded off you tube—I am sure they are scrubbing him as we speak.

I plan to start referring to him as President OreO every where I can on the internet in the hopes it'll take root.

I hope you've got your military spec, radiation-proof flame suit on at all times. You're gonna need it, if you start throwing that phrase around.

Matter of fact, you'd better get a blast-proof suit.

It's not about that. It's the citified way of thinking that us okey dokes are stupid and easily frightened.

Edzackly! This third-world attempt at a socialist/communist coup of capitalism might have worked in some banana republic, but not in America- where we have GUNS and GUTS.

That's right, Mr. and Mrs. Citydweller, your collectivist ideals, built upon and reinforced with FEAR don't play in a country where the majority are armed.

First Tea Parties, then Townhalls get in their face and they realize it ain't gonna be a cakewalk. Not even Union Muscle in Purpe T-shirts can deter the rebellion against a socialist coup attempt.

Worst still, these Kansas City Faggots (thanks Blazing Saddles) in this administration don't even know when to pick fruit. They thought America was ripe for socialism, what with all the Nanny State bullcrap we've been subject to all these years.

What, people don't ride Harley Davidsons through Chicago anymore? (wouldn't blame them, ya got the highest homicide rate of any big city) Did ya miss what's been going on at the street level by people expressing a real desire to "be free" and demonstrating it by the thousands every weekend in almost every town across America?

Americans were looking for some Change, not socialism. Americans were and have been Hoping for government to 'get off their backs', not jump on them like a tax addicted crack-head.

Fixing Health Care is not a big deal, fixing what's wrong with America is. Trying to do both by destroying capitalism is not only wrong, it is treasonous.

Profit is what drives people to take risks, work hard, invent and invest, and get educated so they can 'compete' in society. Take that away, and what you are left with are people laying on their backsides waiting for a check from Uncle Sugar.

I'll withhold further critism of this administration (Obama) as they have more than three years to vindicate themselves. Given their start out of the gate, I'm not optimistic about them receiving redemption by reversing course. It could happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.
