ANN ARBOR, Mich. — President Barack Obama took aim Saturday at the angry rhetoric of those who denigrate government as "inherently bad" and said their off-base line of attack ignores the fact that in a democracy, "government is us."

Right On!!!!!!!!
The Great Bullshitter* speaks again (does this guy ever actually do any work?)
Meaningless twaddle...
Depends on his definition of "us."
For him, "us" is the wannabe fascist totalitarians who wield the political power.
To the rest of us, "us" means the unwilling slaves actually funding the destruction of the Republic.
As usual, his statement is accurate, but Clintonian...
Sam was a `rabble-rouser’ to the British and he wasn’t just “potentially violent”. His cousin John got an acquittal for the small group of British troops charged with murder who were attacked by a large crowd throwing stones, ice and rope-bats, `egged-on’ by Sam and others.
And he was involved in the tarring and feathering of the captain of a merchant ship, as well as the destruction of valuable cargo.
We know how the Bostonians felt, but as John Adams pointed out, we either walk the “We’re a nation of laws ... “ talk, then and now, or we don’t.
We’re either what we accuse the enemy of being, or we are not.
And what the Constitution says and means is not subject to a popular vote by the public employees, the unions and the welfare recipients, which collectively have become THE majority.
the man is a complete idiot and no wonder he’s sealed his school records, I bet he got F’s all the time.
Another reason why I’m against affirmative action.
Every time he goes off script his true self comes out, he really is one dumb man and to think they said Bush was thick.
Bush didn’t read a speech like a black preacher but he sure had more brains than this idiot.
The late nights were asked why they don’t make fun of him and they replied “well he is so smart he never gives us material”
really hey no material
57 states
inflate tyres
corp and not corpse
insurance
bowing
there’s a point when you have made too much money
redistribute wealth
there’s a whole list for you late nights
Question authority.
Don’t trust anyone over 30.
Dissent is patriotic.
Hillary’s shriek about being able to disagree with Bush.
THEY ARE PISSED BECAUSE WE ARE USING THEIR TACTICS AND THOSE TACTICS ARE WORKING.
THIS IS NO TIME TO GO WEAK-KNEED, FREEPERS. EXPOSE THE TRUTH TO EVERYONE YOU CAN, EVERY CHANCE YOU GET. TO HELL WITH BEING POPULAR.
I’ve done the same
I’ve got as many as I know to watch that video and him saying that he wants blacks and hispanics to vote . not forgetting the latest of there is a point of you’ve made too much money.
it is up to us now as the media are corrupt and have no desire to tell facts anymore.
good for you for getting the truth out and hopefully if everyone tells 20 people and then those 20 people tell another 20 people and so on then the truth will get out
the days of us being silent and being afraid by PC is over
The reason their tactics didn’t work was that they weren’t in the right.
We are.
Let me amend that: their tactics worked, not to build a great new society, but to destroy public memory and faith in our system and leave it vulnerable to takeover. Obama’s regime is the full flowering of the 1960s.
But he’s still going to lose, because he’s wrong and we’re right and more and more people are realizing that.
My jaw dropped until your third paragraph.
You are right. They have been frightfully successful, especially through control of the state-run media and the government-run education system.
I do hope you are right.
I believe that we can win nationally. My fear is that we lose national control before the globalists subject our sovereignty.
If it gets to that point, we enter a very long dark-ages that will be violent and bloody until the tyrannies are destroyed.
I think we're losing it. I believe Obama actually does not expect to finish his term, since he will probably be impeached in 2011...but that's ok, because he wants to go on to something bigger and better than the US. (After all, by that time he will have weakened us so much that we will no longer be a threat to anybody.)
I'd suspect he's going to go for Secy Genl of the UN or perhaps for some new position that he thinks they might create for him.
Would someone please tell the empty suit Obama that patriots are not anti-government but are anti-dictatorship, anti-global government (aka: loss of US sovereignty) and anti-government monopoly over the free market. It’s beginning to look like there is nothing between those huge ears but O.
The government is “us” and “us” didn't want the CommieCare rammed down our throats but the idiots did it anyway.
Big surprise there, NOT!
In fact, I think pissant was one of the few FReepers bashing Bush for his Progressive policies when at the time it could have been a borderline zot.
WE SUPPORT LEGAL GOVERNANCE IN ADHERENCE TO THE US CONSTITUTION!
WE ARE NOT ANTI-GOVERNMENT — Those folks self-identify to the left as “ANARCHISTS” (see the May Day Celebrations today - or perhaps look to your left if you're taking part, Obama — the folks in black with the red A in a circle — yeah THOSE folks are Anti-ALL Government incl. YOU).
Tea Party supporters and other conservatives of all kinds merely want our government to stay within the bounds of the Constitution, PERIOD. And that goes for ALL government officials who are supposed to represent the PEOPLE, and adhere to the chains of the Constitution upon their actions. It is clear that too many in Washington, DC have no idea what this means.
We are against the plans of this Democrat Administration and Congress because you lied to the people of this country in allowing Obama to assume the role of President knowing full well there are definite problems regarding his eligibility. That's FIRST. And then after that you have gone on to pass law after law that is a clear violation of numerous parts of the Constitution.
You have announced plans to reward criminals, and employ Marxist techniques when it comes to gaining control of America's economic engines. THAT is why we are concerned (and certainly many of us are downright angry) - and we have every right to be. Anyone who loves our country and the freedoms and prosperity we enjoy should be VERY concerned. And, indeed, even many of your former supporters have woken up now.
And, to put it even more clearly Mr. Pres__ent, you as well as staffers throughout your administration, as well as the Democrat (and some RINO) Congressmen and their staff as well are COMPLETELY lacking in character to the point of utter ineptness if not downright maliciousness in regards to our Constitution, and our country. It is UNACCEPTABLE.
And last, but most assuredly not least... The actions you are planning to take next week in announcing to the world the depth of our defense is absolutely INSANE!!! It would seem that you are completely naive of the threats facing our country, and have chosen to ignore reality and instead weaken our country and put its citizens at risk of attack. Again this is UNACCEPTABLE.
We are in FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT that stays within the bounds of the Constitution, is accountable to the people, and is willing to actually DEFEND this country from her enemies instead of selling (or simply announcing) military secrets to our enemies (Clintons & China), and alienating our strongest allies. We are in FAVOR of GOVERNMENT representatives who are not afraid to stand up and STOP Unconstitutional actions within our legislatures — from the local level, to the State, to the Federal Gov’t.
In closing I say the following again for clarity...
It is not that we are “anti-government”, Mr. Obama, we are ANTI-ILLEGAL GOVERNMENT!
Anti-Soviet speech and thought soon to be criminalized.
If they could do it in the old USSR, Obama can do it in the USSA.
(Scratch a Fascist, get an Obama?)
The following link is Bill Clinton "warning us" about demonizing bureaucrats, politicians and public employees, and 'consequences of our words.'
Unfortunately, I can't recall the tsunami of words that led Tim McVeigh to commit mass murder, nor do I recall civilian deliberate murder to compare to the WACO slaughter using the weapons of real war, which, if memory serves me right, did not result from words.
If I were able, I would love to be able to combine Hillary's hysterical screaming about the "rights of free Americans to dissent," and The First Rapist's admonition to take responsibility for our words.
Might there be a Freeper who could combine the two videos into one, which would probably last less than 40 seconds, with text at the end saying: comparison of violence and destruction including murder, arson, riots, assaults:
Progressives, SEIU, Illegal Aliens, "students, " and other progressives--- 100 +
Tea Party Members --- 0
For maximum effect, the "calm" video of Bill Clinton should be followed by the wild-eyed hysterics of Hillary.
Would that be possible?
Equating the destruction of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in 1995 with the behavior of the Tea Party members is stupid, asinine, self-serving, irrational, hysterical and did I mention stupid?
Here’s what negates Obie’s argument: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
No matter how innocent and idealistic a candidate for high national office is before he or she is elected, something about being elected begins to erode that person’s idealism and morality.
Exceptions to that rule are so rare as to have had national holidays named after them (until big government homogenized their birthdays into “President’s Day”).
