ACORN are a bit distracted at the moment so no joy there.

All politics aside, it's probably for the best, they would've taken a total financial bath on it and much of the advance planning was both stupid and based on demonstrably-false assumptions.

Glad as hell that I ain't got to fly home with wide-load Michelle and Oprah-doprah.

What better place Woo-Whoo---
My dad once told me years ago that if I wished to see the wonderful wild side of life to go to Rio before Lent. He told me to prepare to run naked on the beach under the full moon covered with chicken blood. Naturally he never thought I would such a thing but in his life time he had been there done that.
What fun the people of Rio will have, much more fun then the stiff necks in Chicago, the prudes in city government.
It will be a world of fantasy, the mother of the New Orleans party time scenes and parades will be specular,
Ah Rio the one place on earth where one can run naked with no one noticing. The City of of wild living and and fantasies, the one place that that one wants to visit just once in their life to let it all hang out.
The beat of the drums, the music and the floats with half naked people in costumes that take your breath away=======Good choice, why go to Chicago an up tight place when Rio is where the action is.

Just watch out for the thousands of street kids who are pickpockets and the casual robberies that seem to occur with regularity.

That's hilarious! The CNN kook can't believe Dear Leader didn't come through.
I kinda figured Rio would get it. The Olympics have been in Tokyo before and Barcelona had them in 1992. No SA country had ever hosted them. Of course, when it's summer in the Northern hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern, but in Rio that's not going to be that big of a problem.

This fool we have for a Prez has been globetrotting telling all what a lousy, selfish and screwed up country we are. So, why in the world would they pick Chicago? Looks like Obummer's mouth overloaded his @ss.
Glad it went to Rio. Since Chicago is broke, our tax dollars will not be used to pick up the tab.

That is a good thing because The POTUS and the Mrs have more places to visit

Now get your ass back to the US and do your F*CKING job!

It would be cool for Rio to hold the Olympics. Rio is also hot, winter and summer there, since it is in a tropical latitude.

Oh Brother... Chicago Snubbed By IOC-- Libs Blame Bush (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/10/oh-brother-chicago-snubbed-by-ioc-libs.html)
Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois, the Senator who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, blames George Bush for Chicago not getting the Olympics in 2016. Burris stated in an interview, shortly after the announcement, that the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush. Wow! When will the Democrats in Congress ever get off this “Blame Bush†syndrome. Burris even went on to say that this is just another way Bush is now hurting Chicago. Yes blame Bush, don’t mind all the crime and corruption that has come out of Illinois over the last year. This “Blame Bush†strategy is getting pretty old.

Hi,
I have been in meetings all day so this is new news to me and good news to boot. I just saw Rush's rant on Greta and this is one time Rush was right on the money. He said Obama is going all over the world for the last 9 months apologizing for the US and all the bad things we are and have done and he is surprised they don't want to have us host the olympics????
Great point Rush, run the country down, day after day, and then wonder why... Hell every time he knocked our country he was giving them reasons to vote NO and who can blame them.

-
What did any real intelligent person expect? When they give speeches that sound like they were in front of the local Chamber of Commerce or Knights of Columbus rather then the IOC then why would anyone vote for you?
-
Is anyone surprised that Chicago lost in the first round? Obama has been spending the last 9 months telling the world how much our country sucks.
I was rooting for Tokyo. I've always wanted to visit.
Rio won? Did the IOC consider that Rio has the worst crime in the world? It's a sh*t hole. It's the #1 kidnapping capital of the world. The kidnappers love to kidnap athletes, they have kidnapped many athletes. And the kidnappers are ruthless, if they don't get their money or it takes too long they kill the victim 50% of the time.
And Chicago? another sh*t hole.
Tokyo is clean, wealthy, and most importantly of all, very safe.

I don't think we should celebrate this fiasco.
I think the iOC had very good reasons for this decision. I think "in your face" to 0bama was a very small part of it. But 0bama should have done a better job of making clear Chicago's advantages. Which are unfortunately, not there anymore that Daly's dad isn't running the place.
Chicago has had a very bad year for street violence. The city is on the verge of going broke in a very loud manner, furloughing and firing city workers right now, and there is the huge stink out of the place in terms of thieving by FLOTUS and her friend Valerie. I would not be surprised in the IOC people hadn't received several comp copies of Michelle Malkin's book lately, with the FLOTUS and Valerie chapters highlighted
Given the places reputation, The One should have stayed home. He didn't do anyone any favors
That said, 0bama has made himself look ridiculous in front of our good friends in Caracas, Tehran, Havana and Pyongyang. We really shouldn't celebrate this.

Why not?? The more ridiculous he looks, the less power he has.......the less power he has, the less damage he can do to the country........
Emasculating Obama as quickly as possible should be the mission of every clear-thinking American........
In a critical situation where our nation is endangered, and the threat is unmistakable....even to the "American Idol" crowd that elected him, he will be removed, and the American public will install a leader that has a pair of brass balls........the electorate has made mistakes like this several times in the history of our great nation, and they have always been corrected......frequently rather quickly.....Obama will be no different, and eventually relegated to the dustbin of history, like Jimmy Carter........
My only sincere hope is that he doesn't cost many Patriotic Americans their lives before he is ultimately discarded like the offal that he is.......

It is a dangerous universe. Lots of folks are depending on us, including us. Once you loose your reputation, it is twice as hard to get it back.
I don't believe the folks in NY and washington have quite got the message yet. The folks in Pyongyang have. The world is a whole lot more dangerous because of that.
Thing is, it is not 0bama who is loosing the reputation. Were I POSK, I would politely ask the 0ne to move the US troops anywhere else. Right now, things are scarier all over.
Also, I think I would be happier as President of Iraq if the US just plain bugged out today. having 0bama in any way part of your security is no longer a safe option.

Excellent post, doc, except for one minor point. Jimmy Carter is still running his yap and a great many people continue to listen to him. He's in his mid-eighties and shows the thinking of a freaking airhead. And people still listen to him.
I'm continually amazed that clear-thinking people around the world find Jimmy Carter an authority on anything other than failing utterly in foreign policy matters.

You know.....I don't think that anyone that actually remembers his administration really listens to him, and those that do listen to him today generally fall into two distinct categories........
........Liberals, who would also listen to the likes of Hugo Chavez....or any other leftist ideolog.
........People too young to remember what a disaster he was as POTUS......and our current president will cure some of them of that malady.
In total, combined they have no more clout than the denizens of the DUmp......in an election, they will always vote the same way regardless of who the actual candidates are. There is zero "over/under" with these people. Essentially they are political "write-offs", and for the 240 or so years of the Republic, they have always been with us in one form or another.
Therefore I would not give him the benefit of any measurable effect on today's body politic.......any more so that Madeline Allbright for example.......
As an older American, I've learned that "you never want to miss a golden opportunity to keep your mouth shut"......apparently Carter is too stupid to have gained that wisdom.....

Hi,
MORE I THINK ABOUT THIS I TOTALLY DISAGREE. To not speak out and call this a major defeat is, once again, letting the other side set the agenda and re-write history. Conservatives have been totally ignored by this administration, many felt isolated and alone.....which may have caused some to join this forum. Damn right we should celebrate a victory!
Personally I am sick and tired of the left telling us what we should and should not do, say or feel. Obama was fool enough to invest a lot of political capital and got slamed dunked for all to see. That is going to happen many times before this is all over with. We should allow that to energize our base and cause us to push even harder; realizing that he is not the messiah but a mis-guided young man with no real job experience who is in over his head. The last thing I want is for the left to cover it up because we are afraid to enjoy the situation. What we need is more events like this where he is crushed politically, might wake up some more of the folks who are in the middle as to just how misguided this man is and how his priorities are really screwed up. The more fiascos where he gets thumped, the better.....
Just my 2 cents worth.

Unfortunately the POTUS has chosen to listen to his Czars that have not one iota of experience themselves. It also appears that he appointed his advisers without knowing one darn thing about them.
Obamas EGO and drive for personal fame and fortune, his darn " WE are smarter then any person who has ever been president" except for Lincoln naturally, is going to drag us down to the point we may never recover.
This man is living in his own world, in fact he is so out of the loop it would all most seem like he is DELIBERTLY trying to destroy our country.
The kid that put up a poll on if he should be assassinated missed the mark. He should have asked if people think our POTUS is in fact insane.
Wouldn't be the first time the world has had leaders that were nutty as a fruit cake. This Leader has little behind him that was not in one way or another from birth on that was not filled with adults that were motivated with HATE, Muslim schooling as a young child, 20+ years of being mentored by the Rev. Wright, later working with criminals that had no conception of right or wrong, that Ayers fellow.
No where in that education do I find him at any time being mentored by those well known and admired in politics either on the State level much less world affairs. Once he got involved in the Politics of Chicago he was trained into the world of corruption by the biggest and the best all time crooks, robber Barron's and self seeking city government in the North.
Big enigma here, the more speeches he gives the weirder he comes off.
He is bankrupting the whole country, working not for the people, but just for some people.
We have never had a POTUS who acted so radically against our Constitution, so ignorant of how to defend us from foreign aggression in any form.
To put it bluntly, the world leaders must think he is a joke, a possible mad man and lick their chops at the thought of just how far he will go to destroy his country.

Hi,
I happen to think BO is brilliant. He IS deliberately trying to destroy this country. Go to the stuff from the Sol Alinsky playbook and you destroy the country economically, then it collapses, anarchy is the result and then people will give up freedom for security and Mighty Mouse, just like Chavez comes in to save the day.
If one's goal is to punish the white man, destroy capitalism, redistribute the wealth, and make sure your legacy is irreversible socialism, if not communism, then you are right on plan. His problem is, thanks to Glenn Beck, folks are starting to figure out what he and his czars are up to.

This is the point. He is doing very badly on the international stage and is a hazard to the security of the country. Failures like this are the kind of thing that led to the Russians feeling they could go into Afgansistan with impunity, and the 'students' in Tehran knowing they could get away with their kidnap.
While the IOC thing is hilarious on the face of it, and I got a good giggle out of it, i do think it is symptomatic of a larger problem So I think we should worry rather than celebrate this. If we are lucky, we can celebrate in Nov of 2012. I have the feeling that this is but the first frost of a very dark and cold winter before we get there

You know, win or lose, I am appalled by the fact that it appears he put considerably more time and effort into this fiasco than he has so far devoted to the much more serious matter of WTF does he think he is doing in Afghanistan, and figuring out how the Hell is he going to live up to his crazy promises on Gitmo, combined. The fact that the Olympic bid ultimately tanked just makes the contrast even uglier.

I personally think the Afghan/Pak/Iraq/Iran issues should be addressed with more priority than healthcare, but those issues are secondary to his moonbat base.

I'm pondering why OPapaDoc was elected in the first place.
Well, here was this attractive, tall, slim, beige skinned, unthreatening, Harvard trained, mullato, who sent thrills up Chris Mathews legs (asnd the MSMs too) running for POTUS in a country of citizens falling all over themselves to prove to themselves and the world that they are not racists. (Which is in itself racist.)

I'd call that pretty close........add in a dash of war weariness (brought to us by the MSM), and the electorate basically made a BIG mistake........they have made them before.......and the Republic survived.

A good part of the reason he was elected was that Bush had been such a disaster, and then he got elected a second time! Freaked the other half of the country out.

Dear Leader isn't a Christian, though I'm sure he falsely believes himself to be one. So to say he understands someone of whom he isn't even a follower? Not so much.

A good part of the reason he was elected was that Bush had been such a disaster, and then he got elected a second time! Freaked the other half of the country out.

In what way? Specifics, please. But before you engage in a lot of GWB bashing, let me say right out of the box that the bailout was a hugely bad idea that your hero jumped on since he didn't have his own ideas about how to fix the problem that the Dems created back under your other hero Jimmy.
...and then he got elected a second time! Freaked the other half of the country out.
And the better candidate was John Kerry? :rotf: :lmao:
So, they put forward a candidate that was intelligent, knew the constitution and shared a vision that wasn't just about guns and White Makes Right.
I'll go with the intelligent part - Hitler was intelligent too. And since your hero was a constitutional lawyer, there shouldn't be any surprises there - except that your hero has forgotten all about the 10th Amendment (along with most of the rest of Congress).
Someone who actually understands what Jesus was about; knows he is not a gun fetishist, antisemite, or exclusively for white folk.
Yeah, I suppose that even Mohammed knew and understood what Jesus was about, just as Satan understands what Jesus is about too. Your point?

You should be careful about the red Kool-Aid. It gives you a red tongue - at least that's what they trumpet over on DU.

Hey moonbat...who said that this is a Christian website?
Why do you think all conservatives are Christian? Or religious?
Broad brush much?

Gonna break this down.
A good part of the reason he was elected was that Bush had been such a disaster, and then he got elected a second time! Freaked the other half of the country out.
Bush a disaster? Matter of opinion. That half of the country freaked out, again a matter of opinion. But these kooks had already been on the warpath for 4 years, and they freak out if some TV personality says something even marginally critical of a Democrat/liberal. So that they freaked out wouldn't be much of a surprise. It's what they do.
So, they put forward a candidate that was intelligent,
Matter of opinion.
knew the constitution
Matter of opinion.
and shared a vision that wasn't just about guns and White Makes Right.
I am not aware of any candidate that held a platform that was "just about guns," and I certainly can't recall anyone who even remotely conducts themselves in a vision of "White Makes Right." Race has nothing to do with any of this.
Someone who actually understands what Jesus was about;
Already went over that.
knows he is not a gun fetishist,
Is someone defending the 2nd Amendment considered to be a "gun fetishist?" That's an awful odd topic to try and use to be convincing.
antisemite,
I'm not aware of this being an issue with Republican presidental candiates, mainly because it's not.
or exclusively for white folk.
Your language is on the verge of being racist. Once again, race is not a factor here.
There is a lot being said on this website that some of you must realize is just nuts.
We do quote DU quite often, I'll give you that.
What about it makes it Conservative?
It's not. DUers are liberal.
What about it makes it Christian?
Got me. They do a lot of Christian bashing over there.
What about it makes it good citizenship?
The DUmmies will tell you what they want for you is for your own good, and to them that's being a good, obedient citizen.
What about it distinguishes it from our enemies way of thinking?
We've been saying the same things about DU for years now. Glad you noticed that they're nutsos.

Bush was re-elected because we were in a war. Peopl;e were giving him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, like other said, John (I hurt my thumb and deserve a purple heart) Kerry?? :rotf:
The founders of this country believed in guns and that it's citizens should have them. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been written into the Bill of Rights.
Finally, 0bama is on record for stating that the Constitution is fundamentally flawed and outdated. Sorry, it was written by inspired geniuses.

He is not an anti-semite? Are you really sure about that? he basically told Israel to stop making babies. His vision is that government power makes right over the people and he HATES the Bill of Rights. The man is anti-American to the core.

The 35% of this country that is hard core Libtard like you STAYS freaked out no matter who is in office.

I want to see his college transcripts before we determine how smart he is.
He has stated that he views the Constitution as a "fundamentally flawed document"...so how can you say he "knew" the Constitution? That last little bit of racist whitewash on your part doesn't even deserve a response.
Someone who actually understands what Jesus was about;
ANYONE who claims the know what Jesus is really about...doesn't have a clue.
knows he is not a gun fetishist,
He's actually hardcore anti-Second Amendment.
antisemite, or exclusively for white folk.
He's turned his back on Israel in support of Iran. And he's half white himself.

I'm pondering why OPapaDoc was elected in the first place.
Well, here was this attractive, tall, slim, beige skinned, unthreatening, Harvard trained, mullato, who sent thrills up Chris Mathews legs (asnd the MSMs too) running for POTUS in a country of citizens falling all over themselves to prove to themselves and the world that they are not racists. (Which is in itself racist.)
In addition to which, he proves on almost a daily basis that he's not up to the job...which is why the country is no longer into him.

I'm tempted to say that I rest my case, but..., maybe there are witnesses reading along, who can hear my view with some accuracy.
First, I asked how this stuff (especially the most violent and angry) represents conservatism, which is after all, included in the name of the website. Conservatism as I understand it requires its opposite, liberalism, to provide its meaning.
Then, since Jesus is often mentioned in these forums, I wondered just how the other popular subject of weaponry fits in with that. Perhaps, if that question doesn't apply to you, you could just let someone else answer it.
And, as for the "White folks" remark; Well, you all should really read through some of these postings. If it doesn't apply to you, it doesn't apply to you, but have you called your neighbor out on it?
I respect anyone who is trying to honestly understand the state of things, but could hardly be expected to respect most of what my first post elicited.
I do admit to an element of judgment on my part. Hard to not take some things personally. But that is always the root of failure.

Hi everyone, several months ago my computer crashed becasue of a virus. I bought a new one and couldn't get on the forum. Couldn't contact Admin for same reason. So I have been coming in as a vistor and what did I see this time I came to the forum. My avatar. I wondered why and discovered I was logged on. How I don't know but I am and am glad to be back.
Now the subject in question. Boy was I ever glad when Obama didn't get the Olympics for Chicago.
Why? For one he got his come uppance and the other that he wasn't able, in this instance, to pay off his political buddies in Chicago.

Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Violent attacks must be met with violence. How else are we to fight off the hate and vitriol of the leftists in this world?
Leftism is an ideology of hate at its core. You hate that people can take care of themselves and want them to rely on you. It might work in some countries, it likely will not work here.

Sigh. Drive-by posters like you are simply boring. You don't want discussion, you simply want to troll. There have been several attempts to discuss your ridiculous talking points with you, but you apparently don't have the interest or the time to actually get answers to your questions. Or is it that you don't like the answers you're getting?
Either way, it's boring.
White folk, black folk, brown folk. It's all folk. What's your point? Are you seeing some racist statements somewhere? Care to linky-dink some of that? Probably not, because that would take some effort on your part. Most of us fully realize that liberals like you are inherently lazy, elitist thugs who would rather troll around than have civil discourse.
But that's okay. I understand.
Some things just don't change.

You seem Ok, except for the part about my points being ridiculous, which pretty much ends a discussion. Civil or otherwise. And then there is the assumption that I am a liberal and therefore a lazy, elitist thug.
You are right about my not liking the answers that I get. They are mostly the rhetoric of sabotage, but there are a few points that I'll circle back to and work out a bit, before I end this trolling excursion. A term that confuses me, since it implies that I'll be moving on shortly. Probably true since I'm not really fitting in all that well, am I? Sort of self fulfilling don't you think?
And by the way, are my "talking points" ridiculous and beneath you contemplation or somehow just not easy.
.......................
I know (having just now checked out your website and a few none political posts) that I was right in my gut response to you as a person. (See first three words of this post) I would probably like you. Maybe jam with you a bit if my banjo worked with an euphonium, but my posts were the best effort of somebody who feels just as strongly about what they perceive to be right and good, as anybody else here. One thing that the Bush years did for me was make it clear that I had to stand up and protect that "rightness". I am also grateful to George W. Bush for making it possible for me to help elect someone I admire to lead the country. I didn't think I would get to relax about who was president ever again, that the whole thing was going to hell in a hand basket (sound familiar). It's not the politics but the man I admire. Politics is a pretty lousy business. Political thinking is, in my mind, a form of brain damage. I trust Barack Obama to do his best. And my sensibilities align closely with his. So, I defend him.
What I am addressing in my "ridiculous talking points" is dishonesty, unthinking rhetoric, lust for power, false religion, lack of compassion, self serving ideology, hegemony of the rich and powerful, racism, deliberate incitement to civil war, etc. And I don't just mean the American versions of these (just to short circuit the love it or leave nonsense), it's a worldwide plague.

Wow. Your third post and you're already contemplative. Sounds fascinating. I'm so relieved you find me "okay." And if you're a banjo-picker (an axe I equate with "happy music"), that sounds even better.
You have all the marks of a troll - and that isn't terribly bad in and of itself because it does provide some entertainment value. But call me a hopeless, dyed-in-the-wool old-fashioned sort if you like, but I do believe in things called courtesy and treading softly where you haven't been before - it's the courteous thing to do, you see.
Trolls come in, ask provocative questions or throw out "issues" for discussion without even something as ridiculously simple as a short introduction. Then they sit back and watch the results. I suppose that kind of thing is entertaining for trolls, but I find it manipulative - unnecessarily so.
As to your worship of Obama, wow. Hawkgirl said it best. How anybody can be so naive, so trusting, and so willing to exchange personal freedoms for the sake of such a clearly plastic "personality" completely baffles me. To me, Obama personifies everything that is negative about politicians and very little that is positive. I firmly believe that he is a socialist who is consumed with government expansion and erosion of personal freedoms. His recklessness and folly have not endeared him to anybody, save the Norwegians, perhaps, and even then we've read that only those who are rabid socialists approved of Obama in the joke now known as the Nobel Peace Prize.
Oh well. To each his own. I invite you to actually defend Obama. I'm pretty certain you'll get an earful.
But you'll have to do a little bit better than drive-by posting, which has been your MO to date.

It's not the politics but the man I admire
Why?

He ran for President for more time than he spent in the Senate?
He voted "present" more times than yes or no?
Terrorists like him?
He's spending the country down the drain?
He' going to "give" you free healthcare?
He hates America?
What do you find to like about him?

Since I do my own thinking, it's not hard to see the quality of his character.
Terrorists love him? Despite the spin being put on the loss of the Chicago Olympics, I am sure that there are millions and millions of ordinary people all over the planet who are inspired by his story. These people will more than likely have good thoughts about us and pass them on to their children. This is why we elected him.
The previous president did everything he could do, it seems, to boost the recruitment efforts of the fanatic fringe. It was like throwing gasoline on a fire.
He hates America? What kind of standards do you apply to these opinions anyway? If you're satisfied with that kind of absurd nonsense, then there is nothing I could say that you would recognize as valid and I'm just wasting my breath.

Not all, but a lot of the responses, illustrated the point for me nicely. A lot like your comment does. There is a lot of pure political sabotage going on. This is not to be mistaken for a sincere desire for truth or accuracy.
There is a certain amount of the Socratic method at play on my part. You all are very intent on building strong walls against "liberal" thinking, and therefore not likely to hear much that makes sense in things I say. All I can do is try to lob a few questions over the walls.

He grew up going to a Madrassah, then moved on the hard drugs and hanging around commies in college, then m oved on to ACORN and spending 20 years as a member and supporter of Jeremiah Wright's HATE CHURCH. How many other Presidents spent 20 years as a member of a hate group?? He had tapes mailed to him when he was away of the 'sermons.' Meanwhile he was a buddy with William Ayers, a domestic terrorist etc etc etc
Yep, real inspiring story.

Nah, you're still too tough and stringy for our new chew toy, but give it time.
Witnesses, or DUmmies taking screen caps of the page? Here, I'll type slowly so you don't **** it up.
How "enlightened" of you. Sorry, you've quite over-simplified. We could go on for hours about that, but that's for another post.
Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
And you're just a root. Once again, you FAIL.
You haven't actually given me anything here to think about, except maybe the Bible quote. I'll look it up and see what the context is in a minute.
About the conservative/liberal duality. I'm just saying that the its like contraction and expansion. Neither force can carry the day. Too much contraction and you get a black hole. Too much expansion and you get spacey and un grounded. We each have a mix of each. Hopefully a healthy one.
...
About the Bible quote: I don't really get it. But he does mention swords, and two is enough. As you know, I was thinking more along the lines of, "love thy neighbor as thy self", "love thy enemy", "I and the father are one", "son of man", "son of God", "go and sin no more", "give unto Cesar what is Cesar's, unto God what is God's". I guess guns and such fit in with the Cesar part. For me, though, I think I'll just sit at his feet.

Its not contraction and expansion.
<--- That way is slavery
----> That way is freedom
Easy choice for me.

For Those Of You Who Have Me On Ignore..... :evillaugh:
It's probably ATrueVoice or BaerReid. Don't know why.

Wow. Your third post and you're already contemplative. Sounds fascinating. I'm so relieved you find me "okay." And if you're a banjo-picker (an axe I equate with "happy music"), that sounds even better.
You have all the marks of a troll - and that isn't terribly bad in and of itself because it does provide some entertainment value. But call me a hopeless, dyed-in-the-wool old-fashioned sort if you like, but I do believe in things called courtesy and treading softly where you haven't been before - it's the courteous thing to do, you see.
Trolls come in, ask provocative questions or throw out "issues" for discussion without even something as ridiculously simple as a short introduction. Then they sit back and watch the results. I suppose that kind of thing is entertaining for trolls, but I find it manipulative - unnecessarily so.
As to your worship of Obama, wow. Hawkgirl said it best. How anybody can be so naive, so trusting, and so willing to exchange personal freedoms for the sake of such a clearly plastic "personality" completely baffles me. To me, Obama personifies everything that is negative about politicians and very little that is positive. I firmly believe that he is a socialist who is consumed with government expansion and erosion of personal freedoms. His recklessness and folly have not endeared him to anybody, save the Norwegians, perhaps, and even then we've read that only those who are rabid socialists approved of Obama in the joke now known as the Nobel Peace Prize.
Oh well. To each his own. I invite you to actually defend Obama. I'm pretty certain you'll get an earful.
But you'll have to do a little bit better than drive-by posting, which has been your MO to date.
Truth is, I should have gone slower at the beginning, and, as you say introduced myself first. But, my guess is that I would have encountered she same shit storm. You people are pretty firmly entrenched in you views. Doubt that I would have been anymore welcome if I'd said "Howdy first".
Since Hawkgirl's view on my simple statements, meet your approval, I suspect it's time to move on.
Personal freedoms have to be balanced with personal responsibilities. On the right or the left. Fill in the details yourself. I'm tired of the personal attacks.

You probably would have been much better off to have introduced yourself and gone a bit slower.
But since you didn't....you are where you are.
Perhaps you would like to start over and try again?

Well, you've surfaced! After damn near a week! Congratulations!
I seriously doubt you've encountered anything approximating a "shit storm." With only 7 posts under your belt, I don't think you've even "rattled the cages" as it were. :rotf:
Being firmly entrenched in one's views is entirely appropriate when the argument clearly runs contrary to things like personal values and opinions slowly developed over much analysis, debate, and indeed - prayer.
You are correct in that if you think you're going to waltz in and drop a number of lib talking points on the group and expect the group to simply be overcome with joy that you've appeared again, that ain't gonna happen. But I suppose it's worthy of you to try.
But to give up after only 7 posts - well, I think that's a telling tale, don't you think?
That's a nice door up there. Aren't you going to darken it?
