sellitman (1000+ posts) Thu Sep-23-10 09:10 PMOriginal message Ok... I lost it a bit today. This was written to a friend after she sent me a You Tube vid that was a rant against Obama killing the Constitution. One of their most common assinine charges. It set me off and away I went....What has he done to destroy the Constitution? I really want to know. I don't get it. Please enlighten me. I've heard this from such luminaries as Glenn Beck & Rush Limbaugh but I never hear of the facts behind the claims. The Republican Tea Party has claimed the same. I am confused. Did they holler when bush eavesdropped on America and changed the laws on privacy? Did they complain when Liberal Protesters were put in "Free Amendment Zones"? Did they complain when he claimed the "Unitary Executive" claim? When he made more signing statements in 8 years than all the rest of our Presidents combined? I don't recall hearing from them?Was it because bush was "White"? Now they want their country back huh? Well they had it for 8 years and ****ed it up pretty good. They don't get it back again if I can help it. Can't call him a ( N- Word ) but they can question his birth and his religion. I get it, if you don't. Your party has turned into raving lunatics who have lost their way. I would be upset if I were you. They vilify people like me who are getting unemployment compensation yet they want to keep Tax breaks for those who earn over $250k /yr.They are politically and morally bankrupt and you are not voting for YOUR better interests by voting for them.

It's my contention... that we have to vote for Democrats (even the less than desirable ones) in order to change the way this country is going. It is not enough to complain or even to write about the issues and demonize the GOP. They must be brought back to the reality that America is a democratic republic that gives the common citizen power; but only when they use it. As far as I can see the GOP has become so in denial and hubris that they don't even know the effect of their rhetoric - and frankly many don't care. But, happily, most Democrats still do care about what their effect/affect is. That is our opportunity and their Achilles heel. It keeps the power in our hands much more than the pundits want you to believe. In fact the pundits on TV largely want you to believe a narrative that neither party is really very good and voters want change.We do want change but not from Republican boardrooms and church basements.VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTEIt will drive them all crazy to have Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Independents and sane Republicans refusing to lay down and die.
LittleGirl (177 posts) Fri Sep-24-10 09:58 AMResponse to Original message 27. those emails have cost me so-called friends I did the same thing and asked what did Obama take away from you? These people are so pissed off that there is a black man in the WHITE house they can't see straight. It's racism. Pure, simple and stoopid. Thankfully, the last time I replied to one of those emails with a rant (like yours) it was the last time I ever heard from that person. Phew. I've written off those right leaning so-called friends. And I live in a red state so it can be quite lonely.I will NOT apologize for my liberal beliefs!

I always steered clear of any talks of politics with them often biting my tongue in the process, but they label anyone who isn't a right wing radical as the enemy. Their allegiance is to a mutant, selfish right wing belief than to long term friends who have done so much for them thru the years. It's sad how right wingers are becoming so filled with hate, anger, racism and fear that they are turning against their friends and neighbors. I never could have imagined how such a large segment of the population could become so poisoned with absolute lies.

"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
WOW! If this is the general thinking of the DUmmies, the world is in a scary place. Of course they see no wrong with what dumbo has done. He is "the messiah" after all! His socialist/communist ideals will help us all. And, it's still Bush's fault.
sellitman....sounds like a code name for your local dope dealer, doesn't it.
