So true...well said...this is true for most liberals as well

alyeska| 11.11.09 @ 8:40AM

if this makes you nutjobs feel better have at it. but the majority of the american population disagree with you.

rant on rethugs -- it's a great source of amusement!

Barney| 11.11.09 @ 8:49AM

Pull your koolaid intoxicated head out of your posterior! True Americas realize he is One Big A$$ Mistake America!
This loser will be a dark stain on American history that no liberal will be able to whitewash away! He is a failure and will go down in history as a failure. Hope his wife feeds him lot's of greasy bacon!

Anthony| 11.11.09 @ 10:05AM

Barney, People of the Muslim faith don't eat pork.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 3:15PM

"Patriotic Americans would not have listened to the bigoted, anti-Semitic, hate-America rants of a fringe religious leader for 20 seconds let alone for 20 years. Yet, Obama who admitted he attended services at Trinity United Church at least twice a month for two decades called Jeremiah Wright his mentor and his moral sounding board."

This is the hard evidence you have against Obama (and is why I didn't vote for Obama, even though I couldn't stomach another Dole) because 20 years is a long time to sit on a pew listening to a Farrakhan-clone.

However, Wright is about the same on the hatred meter as anyone in the Klan, the Klan who had Republicans and Rightwing Southern Dems in its ranks for decades.
Since Bush 41 abdicated all conservative responsibility by being clueless post-Cold War; and since Bush 43 didn't have a conservative bone in his whole RINO body, I'm voting for Obama in '12.
Sue me when my attorney is paroled in 2013.

The GOP is now an anti-conservative party, not a conservative one. There is a distinction, though some Republicans might not realize that. I don't enjoy it, it is very sad that it turned out only the Cold War; and not, say, family values, was holding the Grand Old Patsies together.

For real conservatives, such is nothing to gloat about.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 3:41PM

Wait, its name is spelled FaraKKKhan, right?

for real| 11.11.09 @ 7:43PM

Alan Brooks -
you're not for real, are you? BHO is dismantling this country faster than anyone in its short, but glorious history, and you're voting for him in 2012? i hope there's not many more like you.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 7:48PM

for Unreal,
you said the same about Clinton-- and now his wife is SecState.

You can't recycle the same ploys.

Lester Dent| 11.11.09 @ 10:56PM

Sorry, Alan, you need to learn more about history. The Klan (and most of the major anti-civil rights pols of the 1950s and 1960s) was a Democratic organization that targeted not only blacks but Republicans. These were not "right-wind Dems" any more than Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood (who favored forced sterilization and saw abortions as one way to solve "racial, political and social problems" and purify the race). Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest (Democrat) was the Grand Wizard of the Klan at it's inception, and in a newspaper interview this good Dem said their primary opposition was to the Loyal Leagues and Republican state governments. He argued that many southerners believed that blacks were voting for the Republican Party [Mr. Lincoln's party] because they were being hoodwinked."

Was Sen. Robert Byrd ever considered "right wing"? His Klan ties are undeniable.

Remember, too, that it was Republican votes that allowed passage of the Civil Rights laws - a larger percentage of Reps voted for passage than Dems.

Conservatives are on the path to reclaiming the Republican party, which may actually be discovering a backbone these days. Of course, once they regain power the GOP will return to its corrupt ways, but that's politics. At least they should hold together long enough t undo some of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid attacks on democracy and capitalism.

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 1:55PM

Hear! Hear!!

Virginia| 11.13.09 @ 9:29PM

Lester is right, the Republicans are the ones that put the Civil Rights Bill through. Democrats love to take the credit for it but they are the ones who wanted to keep the blacks down. Check the Congressoinal Record if you don't believe us.

Chris | 5.4.10 @ 10:45PM

Right you are lester, about the true roots of the KKK but also the Civil Right vote of 1964. We'll probably never see our children/Grandchildren taught this.

Bixter| 11.11.09 @ 11:17PM

The KKK was a Democrat party entity. Democrats were against the Civil Rights Bill. Learn your history

Tell thewhole story| 11.13.09 @ 2:46PM

And you forgot the best part. They all left the Democrat Party and joined the GOP, thus the state of our current GOP - do nothing bigots.

Margie| 11.15.09 @ 11:07AM

Liar.

JamesW| 11.12.09 @ 10:30AM

Alan, you are one confused person. Hope you get better.

jarbo| 11.12.09 @ 11:00AM

Alan Brooks' shocking ignorance on the KKK must be addressed. The Klan had NO Republicans, it was the militant wing of the Democrat Party. 1300 whites were lynched by the Klan, most all of them Republicans. Dem. Senator Robert Byrd was a Grand Kleagle (a recruiter).

tailgunner| 11.12.09 @ 12:41PM

This is who Rush might call a 'seminar poster'.

He pretends to be a 'real conservative' but pushes leftwing talking points and the incredible idea that Obama is an alternative to the GOP.

'Southern Democrats' (Dixiecrats) ran as a separate party for a few years specifically against desegregation and equal rights.

When they failed to make any significant gains, these 'rightwing Southern Democrats' were readily welcomed back into the Democrat ranks.

Sen Robert Byrd was a KKK officer ('Exalted Cyclops') for years. He recruited scores, maybe hundreds, of KKK members who went on to terrorize African-American families.

Byrd was the Democrat Majority Leader for close to a decade. He is still an honored senior member of the Democrat Party.

Grand Wizard of the 'Knights of the Ku Klux Klan' David Duke repeatedly ran for office as a Democrat.

When Duke switched sides and ran on the GOP ticket, senior Republicans endorsed his Democrat opponents, fought to remove him from the ticket and formally repudiated him.

Every advocate of racist policies is a liberal...every advocate of equal opportunity and color blindness is a conservative.

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 1:54PM

Thank you kindly sir, for your comments.

Mr. Nightmare| 11.12.09 @ 2:59PM

Alan, you are such a moron..... Clueless and blind!!! You call Bush 1 clueless...It was his plan that Reagan put in action that brought down the USSR... I know because I worked it!! The conservatives are on the rise!! We are going to take back Congress in 2010 and in 2012 we are going to throw the Marxist on a greyhound bus back to Chicago, along with the rest of mob he brought with him to DC. Get over it Alan....

elle| 11.12.09 @ 7:37PM

To Alan Brooks, what did you mean by this:

(and is why I didn't vote for Obama, even though I couldn't stomach another Dole)
???

actually thats not true iwork with a muslim woman and a jewish man and they both eat pork???

"This loser will be a dark stain on American history that no liberal will be able to whitewash away! "

this quote encapsulates what you REALLY dislike about the president.

victoria_29| 11.11.09 @ 8:53AM

Wrong!!! Most Americans agree with this view of Obama- & more every day. I would like to bring NJ & VA to your attention as well as NY-Dems can spin it anyway they want but bottom line is Conservatives won.

I guess in 2010 we will KNOW which of us is right & which of us is wrong. I am willing to gamble on the independent spirit of American people to stand up & be counted against obama, pelosi & others that want to destroy our country.

Aitch748| 11.11.09 @ 8:56AM

You haven't even read the article, have you?

mikey| 11.11.09 @ 8:59AM

Acutally aly the majority do agree with him. You and your crowd are so limited to your world you are like a group of fish in a tank.

Does a fish know that it is wet? Do you and your crowd know that you do NOT represent anyone but yourselves.

charlie B| 11.11.09 @ 1:52PM

Mikey, I guess you are still reading Big"O's" polls from several months ago. His popularity is still hovering around 51% but the most recent polls are showing an awakening in America regarding his flawed policies and ideologies (anywhere from 52 to 56% disapprove of where he is trying to take this country). I know that still leaves 44 to 48% that still need to be educated and some die hards never will admit being wrong. But this dirtbag is gonna ruin this economy and country anyway he can. Check back this time next year!!!!

Jilly| 11.11.09 @ 9:59AM

I know so many people who are so appalled by what they voted for.

ndanielson| 11.11.09 @ 10:07AM

undaunted by facts, idiots like alyeska continue on cheer leading for the destruction of the US, for the sheer amusement. i can't wait till the tides turn and we can prosecute the seditious party that is the liberal party. man, the amusement i will derive from that!

Jim Campbell| 11.11.09 @ 10:28AM

@alyeska: If it makes you feel better to call us nut jobs, wait until November. I would like to see some polls that back up your assertions. Obama and the Czars with who is surrounds himself are driving America over the cliff. J.C.

Drew| 11.11.09 @ 10:52AM

Rant? This is a LIST of factual actions and behaviours which lead to a conclusion. Everything this man has done has been to the benefit of those wishing to tear our country down. The benefactors of these behaviours are the communists and their liberal enablers. What
"majority" are you referring to? The vast groups of uninformed voters who cannot say who the VP is? Who do not know anything, except the manufactured appearance of a tv personality to vote for someone. You are deluding yourself if you think this abomination is favored by a majority. This man is anti freedom, a thug and narcissistic dictator with delusions of his intellect and accomplishments. He wants to control all dissent, like Chavez and his other pals. Do you have any idea how your freedoms are disappearing? Will you be so amused when his people come for you?

SMB| 11.11.09 @ 11:06AM

Typical mindless liberal. Refute one word of the article...oh that's right you can't, truth hurts...much like the Terrorist at Ft. Hood his radical associations/affiliations mirror those of Hussein O'Bama. 2012 we'll "Change all his Hope."

wbheff| 11.11.09 @ 11:40AM

Alyeska, Oaf!

Helen Donnelly| 11.11.09 @ 2:04PM

Alyeska: First of all, you show your level of intelligence when you start calling people degrading names. And secondly, you might want to take a gander at the national polls...I don't care which one....Obama is tanking. I just hope he doesn't take us down with him.
God Bless!

pete2| 11.11.09 @ 3:13PM

You are funny,really. You are so detached from reality. Your boy wonder has managed to show the world what a complete phony he is, as well as expose the complete hatred the left holds for this country. What makes you think you speak for a majority of people in this country? Is your arrogance at such a level that you presume to think that a majority actually agrees with you? Right now, a majority probably wish they never fell for the con job the media pulled on them with this failure.

Ralph Thompson| 11.11.09 @ 8:11PM

All Yes Ka| 11.11.09 @ 10:55PM

No, the majority DO NOT disagree.

Kate| 11.11.09 @ 11:03PM

No it is true and you can call us all nutjobs if that makes you feel better. You have closed your mind to the obvious truth. Either you are blind or you are so young that you don't remember the great sacrifices of heroism that made this country great and therefore have nothing to gage the current happenings against. I will not call you a nutjob. I will call you uninformed or simply not willing to look at all aspects of the behavior coming out of Washington.

elle| 11.12.09 @ 7:46PM

At election time I believed there were only 2 types of people who would vote for the socialist lying sack of horse-poop: (hussein): the very rich or the very stupid. The very rich who voted for hussein are un-phased by 80% taxes they pay and they feel very guilty about having so much $$$$ so they want to share the wealth. The very stupid are just that... stupid, but I have added some more adjectives as a subcategory to stupid: lazy idiotic, blind, nieve, did I say lazy?, leeches who want to do nothing but have everything. In other words, they are lazy morons. And hussein the America-hater is willing to give it all away on the backs of hard-working Americans!

Charles Van Horn| 11.13.09 @ 7:40PM

Elle, I was about to ask the question: Why did the American people vote for this community organizer that hasn't accomplished one thing except to finish
college. You just answered my question.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 11:24PM

Yes, if we deem Obama some sort of a crypto-Communist, we are no better than those who, for over seven years after 9/11, called Bush a 'Hitler'.

Alan Brooks| 11.12.09 @ 12:23AM

Yes,
they are calling Obama 'marxist', as Bush's detractors called him 'fascist'

SFC MAC| 11.12.09 @ 11:12AM

Obama IS a Marxist. Did you bother to read anything about his philosophy, associates, and background before you voted for him? Of course not. How's that "change" working out for ya?

sid| 11.12.09 @ 2:02AM

Alyeska, are you saying that the majority of the American population disagree with Mark Hyman & Ned? If so, I don't think you've been paying attention. Just because a bunch of misguided (by the gushing press) voters put O'Bama in office, doesn't mean they don't regret it now!

SFC MAC| 11.12.09 @ 11:08AM

Not if the polls are any indication, sweetpea. Looks like the 52%ers are coming down with a whopping case of buyer's remorse. The real amusement is when moonbats like you pop in and try to laugh it off.

Denial ain't a river in Egypt.

SV| 11.12.09 @ 11:46AM

"The very next paragraph is going to make the nut jobs on the far left excitable beyond belief. I am not referring to all Democrats or even a majority of liberals. I am singling out the "they've-lost-all-touch-with-reality" crowd."

Tom O'Brien| 11.12.09 @ 1:53PM

Alyeska,

Facts don't lie. Forget Obama's rheteric, look at his actions. He's doing his best to take away our freedom and destroy the institutions that made this country the greatest in the world.

TOB,

Conservative nut job who served in the military for 24 years, raised a family, has a job, and pays his taxes.

How about you? What government programs are you on?

sharonar22| 11.13.09 @ 1:02PM

WRONG
The majority of Americans have wised up.
Obviously you are not in the majority.

Ron| 11.13.09 @ 5:28PM

You are an imbecile. Every single person I know who voted for Obama admits it was a mistake. He's a narcissistic, America hater and everyone knows it. Soon he will be a sorry footnote in US history.

Kim| 11.13.09 @ 8:18PM

The truth hurts you liberals doesn't it. Of course I forget, you can't argue with stupid people.

Mike| 3.4.10 @ 10:03AM

Obviously Mark Hyman got his marching orders from the RNC. Politico's Ben Smith has written about an internal RNC memo outlining the fear campaign being planned by the committee to shake down potential donors. I would urge those on the right to take a look at the contempt some within the RNC harbor for you.

For all of its pretense, I am beginning to think that AmSpec is really no more than a cog in the GOP noise machine.

I used to think otherwise, but this unhinged rant is so ridiculous and so in line with what Limbaugh, Beck et. al. are saying that I now have serious doubts about this site as a serious place for reading about and debating issues.

gwen eaker| 4.30.10 @ 9:24PM

No most Americans agree with this! Alyeska you are so wrong!

Richard Reynolds| 8.18.10 @ 2:47PM

ONLY THE BRAINWASHED (such as your misinformed self) NEVER QUESTION.

Faith Reed| 11.11.09 @ 8:43AM

Thanks for telling as it is. Was not shocked to See Obama has appointed John Limbert,who serves on the board of the National Iranian American council which is a defacto lobby for the Iranian regine in America to be the senior offical at the State Department. Go to freerepublic.com and read about this. Guess this put me on Obamas offical list now.

Jarrod| 11.12.09 @ 11:28AM

Faith, don't worry there are alot of us possibly on that Obama list. We will all be in good company proclaiming our freedom!

Kim| 11.13.09 @ 8:19PM

Me too i guess.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 9:28AM

But it's such a relief not to have Bush in the White House anymore-- you didn't where he was coming from.
At least with Obama you do.

Jim| 11.11.09 @ 9:55AM

I can hardly wiat til this muslim is gone and I sincerly hope he and all libs disapear FOREVER. You liberal scum are a disease, and will be dealt with as such and wiped from the face of this great Nation, UNDER GOD.

alyeska| 11.12.09 @ 6:22AM

i really don't think you god would be too approving of your desire to "wipe people from the fact of this...!

and, obama's approval was at 51% as of 0100 today, so a majority (albeit a slim one) still agree with me.

MJScott| 11.12.09 @ 8:26AM

Then you don't really know God all that well at all. While God may not take pleasure in the death of the wicked, but would rather they repent and live, He is not unwilling to wipe whole nations off the face of the earth for their sins. The Lord is Holy, and His judgment draws near.

As for O's polls, check the Rasmussen Presidential Approval tracking poll and see if you can't extrapolate the trend.

Appleby| 11.11.09 @ 10:20AM

Correction: YOU didn't know where Mr. Bush was "coming from". Those of us who voted for him -- unlike those of you who voted for Obama -- did. And we liked where he was coming from because we came from there too.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:09PM

I didn't vote in the election a year ago because McCain was a dork, as Dole was.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:23PM

A viagra commercial, and a guy whose chief importance was that he was tortured in 'Nam.

Now, I may be a moron, but I'm not going to be a chump for all eternity.

kwink| 11.11.09 @ 3:24PM

Alan...So lets recap you would rather have a pres. who hates America and all it stands for than a war hero? I'd say you are worse than a chump!

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 3:38PM

You are being hyperbolic, kwink; Obama doesn't hate America. His loyalty is probably oriented mostly to blacks because of the genetic urge for safety-in-numbers.

But Southern whites are the same. Race, not patriotism, is the crucial factor.

Cricket| 11.12.09 @ 11:48PM

Alan,
As a Southern white, I can tell you that race has NOTHING to do with it. We don't like his white half either. Please remove your head from your nether regions. Southerners do not live or act like Rhett & Scarlett. I could care less what color BO is, I don't like the man's politics.

tailgunner| 11.13.09 @ 12:51PM

Are you saying that blacks have a 'genetic urge' for 'safety in numbers'?

That is one of the most offensive racist stereotypes I've heard in quite a while.

Next you're going to tell us that blacks 'got rhythm' and are naturally 'well endowed'.

You are truly blind to your own racism.

Nobama| 11.11.09 @ 5:32PM

I was grieved to the core when McCain was nominated, so on that note I agree. But vote for Obama '12? Oh yes, that's an intelligent response. And what leftist doctrine do you want to see passed in 2013? If we make it that far.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 6:05PM

Obama moves to right after the midterms, a la 1995.

WHO is his SecState?

Emil| 11.14.09 @ 3:42PM

Obama isnt Bill Clinton. Bill's first and foremost concern was himself. Obama is a leftist demagogue. He wont move to the center. he has never been there before. Clinton was a centrist gov of AR for 14 years and founder of the DLC.

victor| 11.11.09 @ 6:31PM

"Now, I may be a moron,"
Truer words you never spoke.

" but I'm not going to be a chump for all eternity."

You already are, now go join Toddy.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 7:13PM

alright, victor, you are correct, I'm a fool.
But I reaped fool's gold by supporting Bush in '92.
No more.
Every man to the devil his own way-- and, believe it or not, that includes victor, too. And a few women at this blog, because some of them think Palin has a chance to be POTUS in '12.
She doesn't.
Like Kemp, she is too good to be president in the post-Cold War period. We have had almost nothing but hacks since '88-- Clinton was the best of the lot.
I'll be saying this for years: now that the Cold War is over there is nothing to unite the GOP, or even conservatives. We're all just talking past each other.
Another hack will run on the GOP ticket in '12, and Obama will be re-elected--
as Clinton was in '96.
Latinos are mostly conservative, but they are more loyal to their blood and La Raza than to conservatism; which is a large demographic change in fueling the Democrats slow but burgeoning success.
All this other sound and fury is merely sports contests up and down the field.
Black power is as nothing to Latino power; why do think AS hired Codevilla? for his libertarianism? hell no. That's not enough.
You can say you don't like blacks, but if you say you don't like latinos, then maybe there's a strike at your restaurant, and the pots and dishes sit dirty in the sinks.

You think that's gloating? No, I don't like change anymore, there is no real social progress anymore, just change.
backing and filling.
But somebody wins, to get back to the thread. More Latinos win. Obama wins.
and the offer to wager he does stands. But you wont bet that he loses because most of you are less foolish than I:
I trusted the Bush family completely against my better judgment. Fool me once, shame on Bush; fool me twice, shame on me.

JamesW| 11.12.09 @ 10:56AM

Alan Brooks-----Your obsessive hatred of President Bush is almost excusable. The democrats along with it's enablers in the media, worked tirelessly after 9-11 to whip everbody into a frenzy of hatred against this man, who actually cared about this country and worked endlessly to protect this country and keep the economy successful. They lied about his motives for war, about Katrina, and even his military record. I only wish he was still at the wheel, driving us back to the almost full employment we enjoyed while he in control. You ailment is real, and it's called BDS.

Jake| 11.12.09 @ 11:45PM

James, I cannot stand Obama. But, Bush started this spending spree we are on now. He gave Obama the baton and he is running with it.

I want to see a Ronald Reagan again. A man who was hated but still had the guts and patriotism to do what was right. We need that badly right now.
I for one believe America will wake up, fight Obama tooth and nail, and eject him from the WH. I would love to Alan Keyes, or Condi Rice, or some other REAL conservative take office. But, when these black conservatives were in high office, what did members of their own racial background call them? Uncle Toms or traitors...right? I just cannot stand how people like Alan Brooks or alyeska can say some of the things you are saying and not know what you are actually talking about. I have changed my political beliefs many many times as I learned who people were in politics.

What I have learned FIRST and FOREMOST, is that I am an American. I believe in every part of the goodness of america. The systems that are in place to protect freedoms and protect YOUR very way of life. If you looked for 2 seconds, HONESTLY at who Obama is and read this article for the many realities that are in it, I guarantee your opinions would change. How do I know that? I defended Bush to the n'th degree over and over again and he did the same things that a real conservative does NOT DO. His last two years our government grew and grew and now its growing so fast it will be virtually impossible to reign in. You have to see this man for who he is. For his associations, his comments, his actions. If we are blinded by celebrity or merely accept him for being black or for being a democrat, we are lost. And, unfortunately, we have been doing this for a very very very long time. It has to stop if our Republic is to survive.

Sid| 11.12.09 @ 2:15AM

Alan, the viagra commercial was after the elections! And since when does standing firm & patriotic against all torture thrown at him NOT admirable?! You are so out of line, here. What in the world made Obama qualified for ANYTHING? He barely began his first term as Senator when he started campaigning for the presidency (which he himself said he wouldn't do, because he wasn't yet qualified to be president).

Sir| 11.12.09 @ 8:52AM

Alan, I don't think I've seen a single post of yours on this topic wherein you have NOT dragged Bush or McCan't into it. Are you capable of detaching from your BDS long enough to address the facts listed in the article?

Jamie Shafer| 11.12.09 @ 3:50PM

Alan Brooks - How does it feel to shoot yourself in the foot? If you don't know now, you will by next year - sadly. Oh well, they say God protects fools and little children. I wish He'd forget about protecting fools for the next year or two.

Dex| 11.12.09 @ 9:53PM

you're right, you are a moron.

tailgunner| 11.13.09 @ 12:53PM

Well.

Liberals have finally found a victim of torture they DON'T give a damn about.

S.L. Toddard| 11.11.09 @ 3:09PM

"I didn't vote in the election a year ago because McCain was a dork"

Hahaha that's great

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 3:25PM

Todd, glad you're here; these people want me to drink GOP KoolAid. I voted Republican in the '80s-- but that's all, brother.

Please try to talk some sense into them?

S.L. Toddard| 11.11.09 @ 3:50PM

I recognize we're not ideological brothers. Still, that was funny.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 6:01PM

Todd,
never underestimate the ability of Republicans to shoot themselves in the feet. These damn fools will get us a President Jeb Bush sworn in Jan 20th, 2017.
Then Jenna is the first female president eight years later.
The Princess follows the Prince-- haven't you heard?

S.L. Toddard| 11.11.09 @ 6:23PM

No, I hear you there. I agree 100%. It's something to keep in mind when reading the Obama criticism here - one might think one agrees, but one must *always* be aware that the majority of people here seem to believe that the primary problem is that the Democrats are in power, and that the solution is to replace them with the GOP. Too many people cannot separate party from principle.

That is why I get aggravated with the constant "Obama Stinks" pieces. Is there any need to convince anyone here of that? How is that constructive?

I don't think an honest, intelligent conservative can deny that the GOP failed them miserably last time. BETRAYED them, really. I'm referring here to the last presidency and the GOP Congress that held power through much of it. That remains who the GOP is, and it is clear that their record is one of reckless expansion of government, of extreme fiscal irresponsibility, of insane deficit spending, and of instituting massive federal social programs - in other words, the GOP is currently an anti-conservative force. That much, I believe, is inarguable. So what should be the first priority of conservatives - to return to power a radical, anti-conservative party, or to steer that party back toward conservatism? And by "conservatism" here I mean fiscal responsibility, small constitutional government, balanced budgets, and patriotic immigration reform (to ensure that this last wave of immigrants has time to assimilate in order to maintain and cultivate traditional American culture). Forget foreign policy - we can hash that out later. And if the first priority of conservatives is to steer the GOP back to conservatism - which is to say, to RECAPTURE the GOP - what good does it do to spend most of our time criticizing Obama? We are not going to - and nor should we try to - change the Democratic Party. We SHOULD be trying to reform the GOP to get it to embrace and advance the conservative principles domestically at least.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 7:36PM

No, the GOP is finished, they have to be all things to all ethnicities-- putting in non-PC terms, they have to suck up to Latinos. Who does so much of the grunt work today? To survive, the GOP has to suck up royally, and that negates the original purpose.
So to what purpose be a Republican if you are de-linked entirely from your origins?
They might as well say "we're Gingrich Futuro-space colonizers-- now vote for us and take off donations to us from your taxes."
We're not that distant concerning foreign policy, Todd. Israel has to be moved someday, the demographics there are far worse than here. Israel could be wiped out tomorrow if its enemies wanted to take big risks; but they can bide their time and invade Israel after their populations and wealth increases. Peace in a feudalistic substrate?
When will that be, pray tell?
Iraq might turn out well eventually, but you know the surge was manned by personnel transferred from Afghanistan. So that means we're in the Afghan-Pak region for at least a couple of decades, meaning trillions of $.

Am I a cynic? Absolutely. But cynical is not synonymous with wrong.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 8:05PM

"Obama war council considers boosting Afghan troop levels"
You'll see this headline again in the days to come. Bush transferred scores of thousands of personnel from Afghanistan to Iraq, and now it is time to send a comparable number to Afghanistan to make up the deficit. Back in the day, wasn't such called a 'shell game'? So, how much do you think the bill will be next decade? $2 trillion? Three? An open question.

Is God protecting us? we'd better goddamn hope so.

carnot| 11.11.09 @ 8:55PM

al & todd....you better care about where Maobama is headed. If you don't think the longer-term potential for social violence increases with each immiserating policy these fools pursue, then perhaps you aren't observing some of the more significant underlying trends.

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 1:47PM

Contrary to you & Toddards wishful dreamings, the GOP is NOT dead. The losers and complainers will abandon it but the fighters will continue working. Witness the wins in VA & NJ. And haven't you heard the latest? Read it on DRUDGE. Doug Hoffman will probably be elected after all. Hoffman is a lifelong Republican and conservative who only ran on the third Party ticket due to it being a special election.
What's DEAD is the DEMOCRAT Party! Ha! Long may it languish.

Bydand76| 11.11.09 @ 9:27PM

Toddard,

I agree with you 100%

Except I kinda like the Obama stinks pieces
HA HA

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 1:40PM

Toddard is a "Paleo Conservative." He;s an idiot, Look it up. He believes in "Fortress America." He doesn't believe we should go to war anywhere OUTSIDE of the United States of America. He has called America an AGGRESSOR. He also despises Israel and doesn't think we should even agree that she ought to be allowed to defend herself. Just like Ron Paul. He speaks with smooth words but Toddard is a SNAKE!

S.L. Toddard| 11.12.09 @ 2:59PM

"He doesn't believe we should go to war anywhere OUTSIDE of the United States of America."

You really are a stupid person. Nobody on earth thinks that. What I think is we (the United States) should generally only go to war if we (the United States) have been attacked or if there is clear and present danger of an impending attack (on the United States).

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 3:40PM

Right. Good try Toddard.
You are such a snake. You are living up to it still.
Your deceitful post is saying you'd go to war, but inside the U.S. NOT OUTSIDE the U.S.
You're a liar.
Your posts previously say that is what you believe.. yes, you agree only IF WE ARE ATTACKED on our shores. Right!
Liar!

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 3:46PM

Snake Liar Toddard says "No one believes that"
Toddard believes that, and so does Ron Paul. And so does Toddard's friends over at the website AMCON. NO going to war unless it happens on our shoes. Call me stupid all you want but you're the liar.
You call America the AGRESSOR as well, like the rest of your Communist SCUM pals.And you have also spoken against Israel. Go crawl back into your dark hole. Creep.

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 3:47PM

victor| 11.11.09 @ 6:34PM

"I didn't vote in the election a year ago because McCain was a dork"

Spitting on veterans, young and old, are just your speed, Toddy?
Did you call them babykillers, to, back in the day?

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 7:57PM

I did, I hated LBJ's stinking guts.
I don't know if the Vietnam war was justified,
but they sure bungled it as if they were actually trying to lose the war-- and you don't get rewarded for losing.
And everything is winning and losing.

Don't like it? Then go to church at every chance.

victor| 11.11.09 @ 8:54PM

So you admit to spitting on soldiers and calling them babykillers.
I too was against the war, being a raving liberal at the time, I never stooped that low.

Sid| 11.12.09 @ 2:35AM

Alan, you are such a twisted mess! Don't you know that the mamby-pamby liberals who lost Vietnam for us, are the same idiots who are trying to loose the war on terror right now?! Obama & his losers think that only a weak underdog is admirable. Strength & success, to them, are synonymous with evil.

tailgunner| 11.13.09 @ 12:57PM

Tell that to Obama, who feels 'uncomfortable' with the term 'victory' in Afghanistan.

Oh, from a 20-year Navy security policeman...kiss my 'babykilling' ass.

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 1:42PM

Toddard, the so-called Republican. He would say that. He likes Ron Paul.

Jake| 11.12.09 @ 11:54PM

I didnt like McCain because he acted in way to many ways like Obama.

Now, to say McCain is a dork does not contribute to the actual argument against him. Talk about something he did you didnt like or something that applies to what kind of president he would be. Dont comment on his personality because he doesnt contribute to your argument against him.

McCain, was, however, a war veteran who stayed for several years in a POW camp even after he was offered a free trip home. He cant raise his arms above shoulder level because his shoulders were severely hurt right after. Hell, if anything, call McCain whiffle ball and talk about him being inconsistent in how he voted.

I know that you have your beliefs and that is totally fine, but, as I did with Clinton and I did with Bush, when the 'evidence' mounted about who they were and what they were doing surfaced my opinions changed. And I admitted I was wrong based off the facts that came up regarding them. Argue those points....dont argue with "McCain was a dork". It makes you seem petty, uninformed, and completely biased.

kwink| 11.11.09 @ 3:19PM

ALAN...You are a complete ass.

Alene| 11.11.09 @ 3:20PM

Not voting is how we got in this mess. You have to vote. The enemy is within and trying to destroy this great country. He is pure evil.

Alan the Complete Ass| 11.11.09 @ 3:29PM

I will vote in 2012, Alene.

But not as a Republican. I did vote GOP in the '80s, but that's when the GOP ran an actual conservative for president. Gosh, what WERE they thinking

fer real| 11.11.09 @ 7:49PM

Ah, Ronald Reagan. A man not derailed from truth and right by either the presss or his detractors. Our country needs another RR.

victor| 11.11.09 @ 6:32PM

Alan 2008
"I didn't vote"
Yes you did, you voted for Obama, by not voting.
You are a pathetic waste, like Toddy.

mary| 11.11.09 @ 7:33PM

if all you folks who voted for the lesser of 2 evils or didnt vote because they were both evil had voted for pastor Baldwin we wouldnt be in this mess. thanks for nothing.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 8:12PM

Tell that to libertarians who pathetically wasted their votes, Vic.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 8:16PM

Pastor Baldwin is a wonderful man, mary.
Whoever he is.

Someday he'll be president in Heaven.

victor| 11.11.09 @ 8:46PM

Obviously your glasses are fogged, I tell the liberelterriers everyday that they wasted their votes and elected Obama.
And now I am telling you.

I'll pray for you.

Sid| 11.12.09 @ 2:11AM

So Alan, you'd rather have a radical who wants to distroy our nation, so he can rebuild it into a socialist 3rd world pit, than vote for a "dork"? That's intelligent.

Barbie| 11.12.09 @ 11:17AM

Since you didn't vote in 2010 you lose your authority to have your vacuous comments considered to be anything than what they are...green meadow muffins. Since I can't say you are one of the mindless who P. ut O.bama T.he U.seless S.h**head in office, you definately rank as "a chump for all eternity."

Marshall Wichern| 11.11.09 @ 4:20PM

I'm a retired US Army Sergeant Major. And both Bush's were, are and always will be progressives. The progressive movement started and gained traction under Teddy R. and now deseases both parties.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 6:11PM

Right, Marshall,
because there was almost a civil war between labor and business in the pre-TR era. Teddy co-opted the progressive; as Clinton co-opted the mainstream; as Bush...

Never you mind.

tailgunner| 11.13.09 @ 1:05PM

Clinton was dragged kicking and screaming into the 'mainstream' by the GOP midterm revolt for which HillaryCare was directly responsible.

Congress forced Clinton to sign welfare reform and true balanced budget legislation.

Clinton left to himself would have continued the Democrats' race to the left.

If not for Gingrich, spineless moderate that he is, we would probably have been a socialist banana republic years ago.

rethuglican LOL| 11.12.09 @ 8:09AM

Sorry but the only way both Bushes were progressive was that they were more and more progressively retarded. Self serving in the name of public service. Just like Obama.

alyeska| 11.12.09 @ 6:24AM

george w bush will go down in history as the worst president this country has ever had and, i lived through eight years of him without threatening people with bodily harm.

i guess i should be grateful that y'all aren't going all anal on us like rush limbaugh.

victor| 11.12.09 @ 9:47AM

Jimmy Carter holds that "honor" and soon your boy Barry will join him.

Emil| 11.14.09 @ 3:46PM

Obama will win that award hands down. Carter was not an American hater in 1980 ( He is today). Carter was just criminally incompetent. Obama on the other hand is the first President to actually hate America.

Sonny Lapilotta| 11.18.09 @ 9:56AM

I absolutely LOVE these 'folks' that say..."Bush was the worst president..."They 'take' their sound bytes from MSNBC, nor have they lived or voted long enough to compare Bush to anyone but Barack O-Messiah...(And never do they give the reasons)..History generally writes different epitaphs than the 'common rabble' believe today. Wait and see!

Jack| 11.12.09 @ 11:40AM

Bush didn't secure our borders and told you that you needed the patriot act so that he could protect you. Obama says the very same thing. Bush was and is a facist trotskyite neocon(check out the cfr thinktank website and the weekly standards owner also cfr member and Bushite if you are an unbeliever) and Obama is a Leninist marxist who like this article describes, hates America. The truth is a hard pill to swallow. As the person said earlier, "Denial isn't a river in Egypt."

tailgunner| 11.13.09 @ 1:13PM

Where's the brownshirts, concentration camps, and 'facist' police state, pal?

Liberals can't point to a single instance of Bush's 'facist' policies leading to political arrests or prosecution.

If it was up to me, Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore and most of the Air America lineup would be sharing a prison cell.

Turns out Bushitler wasn't even that good at being a 'facist'.

BTW, it was a provision of the PATRIOT ACT that intercepted Hasan's phone conversation with a radical imam aligned with al-Qaeda.

This provision was just REMOVED from the ACT by Congress.

Get ready for more terrorist attacks.

Sherry| 11.11.09 @ 11:21AM

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 1:01PM

I truly wonder how many are wishing they still HAD GW in office insted of the Muslim-in-Chief. I guess Alan ain't one of 'em!

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:12PM

I wish Reagan were still in office, not GW.
In fact, Clinton was a much better POTUS than GW. Perhaps Obama will do as well.

If you guys voted for GW, whose problem is that?

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:16PM

"Allan you are a moron! "

Perhaps so, but Reaganites and Reagan Democrats don't care what RINOs think about them.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:18PM

Palin hasn't got a prayer in 2012-- but Jeb Bush has;
now THERE is a sobering thought.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:53PM

0"Patriotic Americans would not have listened to the bigoted, anti-Semitic, hate-America rants of a fringe religious leader for 20 seconds let alone for 20 years. Yet, Obama who admitted he attended services at Trinity United Church at least twice a month for two decades called Jeremiah Wright his mentor and his moral sounding board."

This is the only hard evidence you have against Obama, because 20 years isn't the same as a tenuous, once-removed, link with Ayers, who was active when Obama was a child.
However, Wright is about the same on the hatred meter as anyone in the Klan, the Klan who had Republicans and Rightwing Southern Dems in its ranks for decades.
I was a Reagan Democrat for years, and will be an Obama Democrat in November of '12 because, as in '96, the GOP wont be able to find anyone to unite its factions-- as the Cold War was the glue that had held them together.
My conservative friends all said in 1993- '95:
"Clinton will never be re-elected", and it seemed a 50-50 possibility, he might even be impeached; or he might be re-elected.
Well, by 1996, it was obvious a high quality guy such as Kemp could never go (at his age) higher than the Veep candidacy-- and the writing was on the wall.

I'm supposed to be rope-a-dope for 2012, when Jeb Bush will be a conceivable candidate for a conflicted post- Cold War GOP? Now, I may be a moron, but I'm not a mongoloid.

, and I will be an O

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 2:59PM

... I will vote for O. as a Reagan-Democrat moron, so as not to be a RINO-chump moron.

Are you capable of understanding that?

Alene| 11.11.09 @ 3:23PM

You sound like a very angry person.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 3:50PM

Angry? no, FURIOUS.
GW was nothing more than a tough C. in C.
He was more clueless on conservative matters than his dad.
But, now, if a conservative party is formed in the next three years, then you have a shot; unfortunately the Goo Old Potatoheads at this time have it all sewn up.

Angry,? no, FURIOUS.

Roy| 11.12.09 @ 10:27AM

I still don't get quite what it proves to actually vote for somebody 100 times worse. I don't really care how bad you think Bush was, what matters is why Obama is better. If the only reason is that Bush often caved to leftism while Obama is a by-the-book down-the-line leftist - um - nope. Not buying.

Emil| 11.14.09 @ 3:48PM

youre not Reagan Democrat

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 3:10PM

Just one small correction Alan. It's the LEFT that has the KKK backers. Always have, always will. If you want to accuse "The Right", name names, please.
The KKK was started after the Civil War by Democrat veterans of the Confederate Army in 1865. They wanted to restore white supremecy after the war. They assaulted, intimidated and murdered white Republicans, among others. Like Jews, Catholics, African Americans, and minorities. In 1874 they re organized and also formed "The White League" and "The Red Shirts" and aimed at suppressing Republican voting and running Republicans out of office.
This is only their beginning. So get your facts straight. Can you say Robert "sheets" Byrd?

There is also a current swell to run Republicans out of office and destroy the Party. Same spirit.
Also an interesing little tidbit of info. The Democrats didn't want to be referred to as the "Red" states. Wonder why?

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 3:54PM

"The KKK was started after the Civil War by Democrat veterans of the Confederate Army in 1865."

The GOP of 1865 is not, repeat NOT, comparable to today's GOP.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 4:19PM

Margie,
you're a sensible person, Look, I don't give a flop from Daddy Roberts' horse about Southern Democrats 145 years ago, I care about the GOP now. If Bush spent more treasury funds than Carter or LBJ, then why bother with the pretense that he was conservative?

Maybe I'm not so much a moron or an ass as I am an ingenue who thinks Republicans mean exactly what they say. I'm like a child who believes in Santa Claus, so in that sense I am a moron-- stuck in the past, like a kid remembering Christmas.

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 4:22PM

Whether the GOP is like it was then isn't the issue. It's the KKK thugs which you accused the "Right" of being associated with. That's a lie. Deal with it.
The Republican Party is conservative at its base. The Democrat Party is Socialist. Throw stones all you want at the GOP. Since your loyalty is obvious as to your preference of Bill Clinton, and that you will vote for Obama, you will try and vilify.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:14PM

"Whether the GOP is like it was then isn't the issue. It's the KKK thugs which you accused the "Right" of being associated with. That's a lie. Deal with it."

Well if you mean because Lincoln and the abolitionist extremists (some of them were liberal fascists) were Republicans, then you are on target, Marge. But the KKK are in no way leftists. And more are Republicans today than before, for obvious reasons.

Clinton CONSERVED more than the entire Bush family in total; and if it wasn't his doing, it was on his watch.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:16PM

The only socialism David Duke likes is National Socialism.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:25PM

No one says the GOP is associated with KKK thugs.
But you know very well the GOP and Democrats traded places: the Dems went from anti-Lincoln in 1865 to social democrat (not socialist) by 2008; and the Republicans went from abolishionist in 1865 to mush by 2008.

Travis| 11.12.09 @ 12:01PM

Hey Alan ,Big SHOUT OUT to ya! Do you think David Duke would agree to nationalize/socialize the car industry and healthcare? OOPS, nevermind Obama has done that already.

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 5:20PM

"But the KKK are in no way leftists. And more are Republicans today than before, for obvious reasons."
Alan. I think you're lying. Name names.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:49PM

Everyone-- save for you-- knows David Duke is a Republican

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:52PM

and PLEASE don't write "David Duke isn't KKK."
That would be like writing "Hitler wasn't a Fascist, he was a National Socialist."

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 8:40PM

Of course I know he was KKK. It's the wonderful world of Google! But listen, you do know, don't oyu, that he was a Democrat most of his time in office? Anyhow he slithered into the Repub Party in a special election. The rest of the KKK are all DEMS as far as I know. Look it up on good old Google. It's all DEMS.
ANyhow~~ as to the Repub Party. I am a conservative and a Republican. I don't deny we've got a lot of work to do. But I'm not going to throw stones and complain. I'm going to do what I've always done. Back conservatives that run. Help them get nominated and elected.
And I will still never let my vote go to a Democrat and I'm not a third Party advocate, no matter who wants to attack me about it.

Adam Smith| 11.11.09 @ 7:13PM

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 8:24PM

Mr. Adam Smith (what is your real name?),
If wingnuts can call Obama a quote unquote Communist or Socialist, then why can't I write that David Duke is tantamount to being KKK?

But I shouldn't ask you to be fair, that would be asking too much of you.

tj| 11.11.09 @ 5:22PM

Remember one thing....Charleton Heston, the former Moses, Planet of the Apes and...wait for it, former NRA President, marched with MLK and against racism. Rock hard conservative who believed in the individual, not the ethnicity.

Heston was no advertisement for the South.

Look, I don't think the South is any worse than the North-- but that's not saying much. I'm no radical

but I don't mind the KKK, they are harmless in the 21st century. So are socialists, they merely have meetings and elect kangaroo Court officers.
And America is too violent to be socialist.

Some people at this blog are getting excited that Obama is similar to Fidel & Chavez, and he is going to means test Granny's benefits or whatever, but they are worrying for nothing.

Truly liberalism is not only a mental, but also a social disease.

Alan, Both of those thoughts of yours is equally abominable. If you would please refrain from further such statements until after I have finished my meal.

Nobama or Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:35PM

I don't think you have a core to you. Maybe Obama will do "as well"? As well as what, getting head in the oval office, lying to grand juries, gutting the military, nominating Marxists to the courts, etc? You did not even deserve to vote for Reagan.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:38PM

You deserve to vote for Bush.

We're both losers-- at least one of us admits it.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:41PM

Typical troll thinking ........ with your butt

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 4:02PM

Jenkins and kwink,
want to wager that the GOP ticket will lose in '12? No, you guys don't-- because you are no fools-- you both know in your hearts the GOP is too compromised, conflicted. Hey, guys, forget about blacks, it's latinos who matter most: all they have to do next year or in 2012 is say "we wont vote for anyone who isn't on our side", and the GOP modifies its position, otherwise it doesn't get enough votes in the latino states.

Ask Angelo Codevilla; if he's honest he'll admit it.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 4:06PM

No, wait, GOP positions, not position. I forgot, this isn't the '80s,

there is no longer any genu-wine corn-sensus now that that there Cold War has been over for, shucks, two whole decades.

Emil| 11.14.09 @ 3:51PM

If the GOP loses in 2012, it will be because the Fed was successful in printing up enough money to create a false prosperity that helps re-elect Obama.

Karen Lancaster| 11.11.09 @ 4:11PM

From the fire into the frying pan, not a better deal. I didn't agree with all that Bush did, but it was certain he loves America and Americans, Obama loves Obama and Islam. God help us. Yes I said God, not Allah.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 4:33PM

You have it right, Karen (the women here are more sensible than the men) except that Bush's overarching loyalty is to his family, getting them elected. Jenna is grooming herself, and being groomed, to be another Caroline Schlossberg, only Jenna has more connections; her dad wasn't assassinated. Jeb is travelling around, looking and talking presidential, collecting tips from friends on a possible candidacy in '12.
If Neil Bush hadn't been tarred with Silverado,he would be hearing 'Hail To The Chief' playing in his ears, too.
As with the Kennedys, the Bush family are opportunists first, patriots second.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 5:06PM

Whereas Coolidge, Ike, Reagan, loved America as much as their families.

Those days are gone with the wind.

If you are all practically hysterical concerning Obama being a "Marxist" (he is in reality a social democrat), then maybe the jig IS up?

victor| 11.11.09 @ 6:52PM

Social democrats are moderate Marxists, That is they believe that they can achieve Marxists goals by advancing socialism and regulating Capitalism.

Greggor| 11.12.09 @ 7:35AM

Karen, God and Allah are the same thing. Any good Christian should have figured out by now that both Christianity and Islam stem from Abraham... one from the lineage of Issac the other from Ishmael. Two religions, one creator. God is the word you use in English, Allah is God in Arabic. If thats not clear enough, get out your Strongs concordance and see what other words were used where you read "God".. don't be so divisive.

victor| 11.12.09 @ 9:42AM

If that were true, "allah" would be found in th eBible, it is not.
Ishmael was not the chosen son.
Tell me what number is assigned to 'allah" in Strong's concordance?

james| 11.14.09 @ 5:23PM

greggor.........you don't know what you are talking about! the 'GOD' revealed in the Holy Bible is not the same as allah; in fact, according to history, allah is the name of the moon god worshipped in the area abraham migrated from......you probaly think islam is a peaceful religion too......

Medina| 11.11.09 @ 6:24PM

Alan is sad to see you are blinded, so you can't see the danger coming towards you and the rest of us. You have the government you voted for and deserved. Your life is nice an easy right now, but wait and see, am not a Bush fan but, you will be wishing to have him instead. If things keep up, there will be no food to buy, so you can eat. It will be a terrible time for each an every one of us. God's wrath is ready to take place on account of all that is going on. Obama already admitted he is a muslim or one of them as he said, first thing he void was abortion law to stop butchering babies, who can't defend themselves. I his mother had gotten and abortion he will not be seating at the W.H. as he is. He is against everything God hates and it's abomination which He detest when people do not obey His commandment. Judgement is at hand! Just wait and see. Be very careful, what you say you will have it. God is no man to lie or to repent. His promises is Yes and Amen! No matter if you do NOT believe there is a Higher Power called God Almighty. May your eyes and everyone on this blog be opened before it's to late. God is the one who can only change this situation and is through the unique weapon he gave us to be victorious called: Prayer and trust in Him to do it. Have a great day!

Sid| 11.12.09 @ 2:06AM

rampart ranger| 11.11.09 @ 9:28AM

Not to mention Obama's bizarre contempt and disrespect for the constitution of Honduras.

Lest we forget, then-President Manuel Zelaya violated their constitution, in a fashion which the constitution itself requires his removal (Article 239). This process was ratified by unanimous vote of the Honduran Supreme Court, an overwhelming majority of the Honduran National Assembly, and a majority of his own left-leaning political party. Yet Obama went with his insticts and let Chavez and Ortega do his thinking for him.

Shameful.

Jilly| 11.11.09 @ 9:45AM

Nevermind the constitution of Honduras, he doesn't have any respect for our own constitution, the one he swore to protect and defend, because it didn't redistribute the wealth to the blacks.

I really think if he could get away with it he'd like to turn us into Zimbabwe.

Tom| 11.11.09 @ 10:50AM

Jilly,

You're right. If he could be the dictator, he would do it. Just think of the adulation. He would like being the rock star.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 6:24PM

"Nevermind the constitution of Honduras, he doesn't have any respect for our own constitution, the one he swore to protect and defend, because it didn't redistribute the wealth to the blacks."

You got it just so. But whites look out for their kind, as well. Asians, too. That is the #1, or at least the #2, reason Marxism is a failure.

Alan Brooks| 11.11.09 @ 6:32PM

See, you think Marxism failing meant capitalism would triumph, but it was apparent in 1991, and it is still today, that the defects in human nature mean we will live in a twilight zone between capitalism and socialism-- perhaps an American (larger and more more corrupt) version of Denmark, say.
My main concern is that we'll live in a cross between brave new world and clockwork orange.

BRU| 11.11.09 @ 9:55PM

They're going to go down in flames.

Not much was known about BHO before the election. Most people were drones listening to mainstream "Obama news". Now, thanks partly to the internet and all the OBVIOUS atrocities the administration is tying to accomplish... people are disenchanted with the "O". They see him for the bigot and coward he obviously is. Not to mention all the radicals he has in his pocket.

We're not going to take it. It's time to STOP being so "tolerant" and "politically correct". It's not a crime to disagree with the government... not yet anyway. And if we keep "tolerating" this behavior from our elected officials, than that may disappear too.

Greggor| 11.12.09 @ 7:26AM

I agree that President Obama has screwed up in several areas. However as a moderate I do think its interesting to watch the two sides point fingers while playing down or ignoring their own mistakes. Obama isn't the only President rubbing elbows with terrorists: apparently the right has conveniently forgotten Orlando Bosch.. the guy was a world-class terrorist. Apparently doing an occasional job for the CIA gives you the right to be a terrorist. The guy has spent decades bombing everyone and everything. Yet Bush Sr turned him loose from prison. .... In any event. Perhaps both sides should do more to clean their own doorsteps before ranting about the guy across the street. America wont be a great nation if we continue to think being "right" or "left" is more important than being united.

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA ( But heck, we're all just racist birthers...yea right! )
antimullah.com ^ | 10/18/2009 | Alan Peters

Posted on Monday, October 19, 2009 8:20:48 AM by kellynla

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.

Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.

I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him.

At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.

No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?

It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.....column-one

NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN)

Linda| 5.16.10 @ 1:23PM

Northern Rebel| 11.11.09 @ 6:51AM

My teleprompter told me to say,
Thank you Mark Hyman!

You have encapsulated in one article, all the reasons that our President is the evil encarnate.

This man, (if he is indeed a man) was foisted upon us by America hating liberals, and the ignorant do-gooder type masses who don't pay attention to anything that isn't given to them in a sound bite.

One of the great things about America is, you don't have to think about politics every second of your life, as you do in countries where your freedom is in jeapordy, if you don't remember the politically correct response to everything, in order to survive.

Unfortunately it becomes a disadvantage, when the evil socialist libs, con the ignorant into thinking they're doing a great thing, electing a man because of the color of his skin.

Barak Hussein Obama, is a man who doesn't even deserve to live in this country, never mind having any power within it.

We can only hope he doesn't completely destroy this country before the ignorant masses become aware of his dastardly intentions, and send him back to where he came: the gutter of Chicago politics.

God Bless America, and God Damn Barak Hussein Obama!

In fact, in that contest I voted for Roger MacBride, who was the Libertarian (it was my Ayn Rand phase) and my Mama blames me to this day because Carter was elected.

Also of interest given the topic:

"In a case that raises questions about online journalism and privacy rights, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a formal request to an independent news site ordering it to provide details of all reader visits on a certain day.

The grand jury subpoena also required the Philadelphia-based Indymedia.us Web site "not to disclose the existence of this request" unless authorized by the Justice Department, a gag order that presents an unusual quandary for any news organization. "

The Holder "Justice" Department also asked for the following:
"The subpoena (PDF) from U.S. Attorney Tim Morrison in Indianapolis demanded "all IP traffic to and from www.indymedia.us" on June 25, 2008. It instructed Clair to "include IP addresses, times, and any other identifying information," including e-mail addresses, physical addresses, registered accounts, and Indymedia readers' Social Security Numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and so on."

The defense lawyers provided the answers as to what legal arguments would be made, thus preparing DOJ for an offensive strike.

Gerald Stephens| 11.11.09 @ 7:23AM

SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

The election of this person represents the most flagrant aberration in the history of the country. If left unchecked his psychiatrically certifiable state of mind will continue to slash and burn the American fabric. It will emasculate foreign policy to a point wherein every punk dictator will be emboldened to dangerous enterprise.

His latest ego maniacal action is manifest in the decision that HE will deal with North Korea one on one to the exclusion of Japan, China, South Korea, and Russia. There is absolutely no room in his warped mind other than for his persona.

He suffers in the delusion that all he needs is ONE GREAT 'accomplishment' to demonstrate that he is more than just a community organizer, the latter historically debunked by by conditions in Chicago.

I DO NOT believe he is Constitutionally qualified. His history of lying is pathological. NO ONE elected to the Office of President of the United States of America would refuse to permit his Constitutional proof to be viewed - PERIOD! Mr. Obama has and continues to do so.

DOING SOMETHING: The battle has been joined in the courts of this Nation. The warriors include The United States Justice Foundation, philjburg@obamacrimes.com, and other legal minds.

Here's a link to a webcast tonight regarding his possible impeachment proceedings. please watch.
http://www.mefeedia.com/watch/24714750

Destroying the quality of health care, our dollar, our sovereignty seem grounds enough for impeachment. If not eligible, oust him and all who knew he wasn't legit (ie. Pelosi, et al.)

Either way, there will be unrest in this country, from an ousting or from the Patriots who are enraged by his lack of allegiance to our great country.

He is not President until he proves himself legal without a shadow of a doubt.

Gill O’Teen ✝✡| 11.11.09 @ 2:16PM

I don't think Bill or Hillary Clinton like America any more than Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm). They're just slicker politicians and know how to hide it better.

Lynn | 11.11.09 @ 12:33PM

I believe people were so consumed by their hatred for Bush, they ignored the red flags.

They ignored barry's associations with jeremiah wright, bill ayers, acorn....and so on.

They ignored that he was endorsed by Castro, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, ACLU, all unions, etc.

They ignored that he had no experience running anything in his life.

They were wooed by his charisma and oration skills (Hitler's were great too).

They ignored the checks that weren't taken to ensure his eligibility.

They wanted to show how tolerant they were electing a black man choosing to ignore that he was also white.

Basically, a vote for the smooth talking Dem was a vote against Bush and his party. And I believe, for some, it's hard on the ego to admit that they were duped and made a horrible error of judgment.

I've thought that if things get bad enough that maybe our military would have to take action with this monster who got elected. But, after seeing General Casey this weekend complaining that even worse than the 13 soldiers who were murdered would be the loss of diversity...
Do we need a certain percentage of Taliban in the country who will be allowed to regularly massacre people just to uphold our theory's of diversity? I bet Chris Matthews might think so, as long as he isn't the one getting shot at. I know this sound ludicrous but what is going on EVEN in the military is mind boggling.

wbheff| 11.11.09 @ 11:51AM

Casey is typical of most General and Flag Officers in today's military, he is a politician in uniform,m not a soldier. We haven't had a Soldier at the top of the our military since Jack Vessey retired from his position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Anyone who can't "comprehend" why that dirtbag Mohammedan terrorist Hasan committed his act of terrorism murdering those 13 soldiers, simply doesn't want to "comprehend" it, because he or she is afraid of "offending" the radical islamic terrorists who want to kill us.
To the dimwits, whomever they may be, who like to prate that "we are not at war with islam," I respond as follows: We may not be "at war" with islam, but its practitioners are at war with us, and it only takes one party to wage a war. In fact, it is much easier to make war on a society that refuses to recognise that you are attacking them. I fear for my Grandchildren.

Are the members of Congress completely blind? deaf? dumb (but NOT in the sense of unable to speak!)?

Do they not know the meaning of bankruptcy? Socialized medicine? Government Takeover of almost half of our GDP?

Are they that stupid -- that they cheer and applaud the horror of stripping us of our Constitutional Republic? That they applaud and cheer the replacement: a socialist government that has, at its heart, the goal of destroying the foundation of our liberty? our prosperity? our hope? our future? And not just ours -- but the future of the world?

We have the "opinions" of decades and decades of "Progressively-Educated" Educators (who aren't teaching anything except "social justice" aka Marxism) and media-logues to overcome!

My kids have been propagandized. Pretty thoroughly.

And now we hear this "loss of diversity" EXCUSE from a General???????

To whom can we turn for common sense? for true leadership that hasn't been tarnished by a "Progressive" (aka Marxist) education? for true respect in passionate defence of our Constitution?

So, let's see... your 'brand' of conservatism, which cannot be revealed by presidential voting... must be the old "Bob Michel" style conservative. Can we just get along or can we all get "conservative" government jobs. Right? What is being discussed in this article is a listing of actions that betray belief. There is NO middle ground, go along get along "conservative" acceptance possible with this abomination in office. This is about statism, from the left and the right. This is about statists, who would use the increased power of the state to enslave all of us. You are having a problem in understanding the level of conservatism that is fighting this, and you label it as "over the top". Ask yourself this: what further erosions of our freedom are you willing to accept to enable the statists? You will wake up one day, unable to do anything about it. But... everyone will "get along".
Go back to our Founders for a refresher... they knew a lot more about the risks of being "over the top".

Then consider that the list that Mr. Hyman presents does not include all the unconstitutional acts they have done, such as taking over General Motors, various financial institutions, and other acts for which there is no Constitutional authority. Now, ask yourself, are you sure that there will be an election in 2012? In fact, are you sure that there will be an election in 2010. Is it not possible that if the Democrats now in power, who consider themselves to be our rulers, not our employees which they are supposed to be, perceive that they will lose their majorities in Congress, they would create a "crisis" so severe that they will have to "suspend" the election?
Also, the reason the Obama is so sympathetic to dictators such as Chavez, and that Honduran gangster who wants to become President for Life, is that our first half-black president, wants the same thing for himself.

victor| 11.11.09 @ 7:06PM

Look at how Obama describes his position:
He has to RUN the country, not lead it.
He never refers to himself as an AMERICAN, but as a citizen of the WORLD.
He is never PROUD of this country, but he is always ASHAMED to be one.

):o What our country desperately needs is for people to vote against all of Obama's allies in the 2010 elections. Render his last two years in office completely ineffective. And we desperately need for the Republicans to field a 2012 presidential candidate who is at least minimally electable, so we can get Barack out of office.

):o Moo.

Melinda| 11.11.09 @ 10:08AM

Republicans believe that a "minimally electable" candidate is one that holds liberal values. I'm not pinning any hopes in that camp.

Brad| 11.11.09 @ 10:47AM

I agree -- "minimally electable" is a recipe for defeat. Look for someone with GIANT STONES. I don't care if that person is woman, man, black, white, purple or plaid. Just give me someone to vote for - not just vote against.

Having the evil poser foisted upon us was the slap in the face we needed to awaken us from a sleepwalk through a life of security and prosperity. It's surprising how the threat of losing it all increases our appreciation of the basic freedoms we take for granted. We were always there to save other nations from a hopeless future. We are teetering on the brink right now. When we fall, who will be there to save us?

If he loved America, why would he want to "totally transform it?" Any answers to that question, libs?

Totally transforming it means totally changing it, correct? So, what does he love about it? Answer: nothing.

Timothy L. Pennell| 11.11.09 @ 8:28AM

Nice story. Where ya been? Oh, and you left out HONDURAS. Did you mention that he just can't bring himself to utter the word TERRORISM? Or TERRORIST? Actually, I should clarify that last one. He can't bring himself to say ISLAMIC Terrorist. Christians, people who listen to TALK RADIO, members of OUR ARMED FORCES, who are returning home, folks with Flag Lapels, and Bumper Stickers? THOSE are the ones he brands TERRORIST.
So lets look at his list of 'Accomplishments' thus far. He TRASHES THIS COUNTRY, every chance he gets. He WEAKENS OUR DEFENCES, every chance he gets. He prostates himself before our ENEMIES, and gives our ALLIES the back of his hand. He EXCUSES every ATTROCITY of every DICTATOR, and DESPOT, while putting OUR INTELLIGENCE PERSONEL ON TRIAL. He aims to CRIPPLE US, Economically, with his SOVIET STYLE, State Run Programs. Why? Why would this guy want to DESTROY the worlds' ONLY HOPE? Why would he do everything in his power, to WEAKEN the one Country, that keeps all the BAD GUYS from running wild? So much EVIL in the world. Imagine the CONSEQUENCES of a world with a WEAK AMERICA. So, what's he up to?
"And I saw the BEAST rise from the SEA. And he had a 'MOUTH' to speak Haughty and Blasphemous words. And he was allowed to exercise authority for FORTY TWO MONTHS.
REVELATIONS 13-5.
All the things that Revelations COULD have said. All the ways that 'JOHN' could have described the BEAST. Yet he chose this one. "And he was given a MOUTH". A Mouth. You mean, like the MOUTH this President has? The MOUTH that's always running? He doesn't DO much, but he's ALWAYS making with the speeches. ALWAYS running his MOUTH. After all, "I've got a gift", he says, about his Silver Tongue. And:"He was allowed to exercise authority for 'FORTY TWO MONTHS'. A Presidential Term is FORTY EIGHT MONTHS. Coincidence?
If you're a Christian, then you have to take all of this in to account. These passages in Revelations, clearly EXPLAIN a motivation behind the things this guy is doing. NOTHING ELSE makes any sense. He intends to destroy this Countrys' ability to defend against EVIL. Period.

Gill O’Teen ✝✡| 11.11.09 @ 2:44PM

Mr. Pennell, I must confess that I have not read Revelations in quite some time. I will take care of that omission tonight. By my reckoning 42 months is 3½ years. That places the extinction of beavisbud sometime around July 20, 2012. I wonder if the Beloved Apostle foresaw the dumbocratic primary results next cycle?

jane| 11.11.09 @ 8:43AM

This is a nice compilation of what we already know. In fact, we all knew his history and lack of fitness to be president before he was elected. It's no surprise that he won the support of our decadent media and entertanment elites and lower income Americans, who tend to be uninformed and on the left side of the IQ scale. But he won the well-off suburbanite vote, too. These are the voters that enrage me. They provided the margin for this dangerous man to be president. They are self-loathing, shallow and valueless. So is Obama so wrong in condemning America? I think his election may have proved how little there is left of what was traditionally great about America. I am so glad most of the World War II generation is not around to see what this country has become.

davelnaf| 11.11.09 @ 8:52AM

The saying that “You are what you eat” is equivalent to saying that you are what you say. This very good article puts into context what the majority of Americans now believe about Obama. They believe this about him because, to believe otherwise, one would have to be a fool, a self-deceiving liar, a liberal or maybe all three at once. The only good thing that it likely to come from Obama’s presidency is that democrats, liberal ones in particular, are in the near future going to be out of power for at least a generation. So, what is the point of all this striving for an ultra liberal America if this electoral disaster awaits them?

When the obituary of the Obama administration is written—hopefully next year—will any of these people reflect on the obvious fact that Obama basically lied his way into the White House (about his personal characteristics and policies) and that he was if anything very lucky to get there in the first place? Not likely; these people are in a different universe entirely.

james| 11.11.09 @ 8:52AM

Every communist hates the country he lives in until that country becomes communist. So of course Obama, a board-certified marxist totalitarian, hates America. But he's working on loving it one day, just as soon as he finishes destroying it.

Why should so many take out their frustrations on the President? By any sane measure, he is merely correcting myths and superstitions of the past with the realities of the present. What the narrow-minded object to any change for the better. What he despises is the bigotry, stupidity, ignorance of the past. America will change to rid itself of the past whether the marginalized uneducated like it or not. The President is a great man with great challenges to confront and face them with great courage we can all praise.

Drew| 11.11.09 @ 11:15AM

People are not taking out frustrations. Words mean things, and words spoken with any weight need to have facts behind them. This is a list of monumental lies, and bigotry of an order many times higher than anything you might quote as a myth or superstition. America is unique in history as a font of freedom in which everyone in world wishes to live. This article is a factual listing of ACTIONS taken by this man. Actions have a basis in beliefs, whether you like them or not. You cannot re-write history (which, by the way is a communist dialectic) to suit your agenda. You cannot stifle dissent, as this man wants to do, and have a free society. The 'change' you seem to think will "rid" us of the past, is a fraud. What's more this man is a tool of powers we can track and take action against... and we will. We are not marginalized uneducated..we are highly informed and in the true mainstream. This 'thing' was put in place by clever people with the intent of destroying our country and principles-- they represent what was, the old Europe of tyrants and dictators coupled with the 18th century backward feudalism of a hateful fascisit religion.

Grzmlyk| 11.11.09 @ 9:34AM

Wow - did this article strike a chord or what?

Right on the money, but there are PLENTY of rank-and-file "caring" liberals who still think that black people only do wrong when white people force them to (Rousseau’s’ insidious Noble Savage LIVES). In other words, Obama’s support is still rock-solid among a giant swath of liberals (Bob, this is your cue!).

What stuns me - and has since Obama burst onto the national scene - is the perpetuation of the meme that he is charismatic, charming and likeable. Really? If he had the same personality and were white, he wouldn't have a friend or admirer in the world. He's prickly, thin-skinned, utterly devoid of sympathy and empathy, supercilious, arrogant, condescending, cold, cruel and completely inaccessible emotionally. He is in fact a sociopath.

And when it comes to brains, he ain’t all that, folks. On the contrary, his sawdust-dry intellect is hopelessly pedestrian, unimaginative and derivative. It is eminently clear that an original thought has never crossed the transom of his mind and sullied a single one of his ideological, doctrinaire, dogmatic, reflexive synapses.

It makes my blood BOIL that commentators, liberal and conservative alike, STILL pay obeisance to this 100% untrue myth of likeability. He has all the charm of a reptile, all the warmth and fuzziness of corpse, and all of the bonhomie of a surly serial killer.

Like the Fort Hood killer, Obama’s arrival at a place and time in which, tragically, he has the ability to dictate the course of people’s lives, does NOT reflect the exertion of the better angels of our nature – in Hasan’s case, our culture’s genuflection before the false idol of “diversity” and in Obama’s case our culture’s genuflection before the false idol of absolution of white guilt. Rather, our enablement of both of these people to wreak destruction speaks to the worst devils of our nature: Our own egos.

For in the end, the murder of those people at Fort Hood, and the carte blanche we’ve given Obama to pillage and then tear down the edifice of American Exceptionalism, can be laid squarely at the clay feet of that age-old sin: Vanity.

The supreme irony is that liberalism’s central theme is that the enlightened can overcome the baseness of human nature and force others to adhere to their selfless vision. And whenever liberalism wins, it is that very hubris that ultimately brings down the heavy curtain of nihilism on innocent bystanders and ushers in the apotheosis of selfishness - to the point where a few dead in Fort Hood is a small price to pay to for the self-flattering sound of the word “diversity” and the enslavement of the American populace merely underscores the fictive superiority of those who bray that no one is better than anyone else.

In fact, I bet that's the only reason Obama went down there. Because he found out GW was there and he couldn't be "outdone". I know wasn't because he gave a damn.

Interesting take on the situation.

Their window of opportunity is quite narrow, but if successful, they could fundamentally change a large swath of the Govt.
It is fascinating that people in general don't know a sociopath when they see one and still are sucked into the pretense.

(just to name a few)...know the difference between religions that exalt peacemakers and label them 'children of God' and religions that exalt human destruction in the name of God...Islam and Christianity are not the one and the same...their prophets spoke different messages, goals are different and ultimate their supreme beings are totally incompatible...let us not fool ourselves...the only good muslims are the ones living in the west and the ones that left behind that circle of death that rules the sands of arabia and dash-te-kavir...

Seems to me that our Dear Leader may want to become Secretary-General of the U.N. when his term (or two terms) are over. He's to young to be contented with going on the speaking circuit, no matter how lucrative it is. The way he keeps distancing himself from America in his speeches makes me think he wants the world to know that he isn't one of us, at heart.

When I told this to a friend of mine, he answered that the U.N. is a paper tiger. But with Obama at the helm, it might become something much more powerful, and do far more harm that it already does.

I agree with every Obama observation in this article except for one. Obama does too believe in American exceptionalism. He believes that America is exceptionally evil, and he's just the doctor to provide the exorcism. And there is worse to come as our public (and, alas, private) education system continues to propagandize its students as to the evil of their own country, while conservatives sit back and do nothing about it (except, maybe, carp about the chants of BHO, mmm). Wake up conservatives and libertarians, it's later than you think.

martin j smith| 11.11.09 @ 10:32AM

Here are the reasons why I believe Obama hates America: 1) His associations with Reverend Wright,Farrakhan,Bill Ayers. 2) his statements such as his speech in Berlin during the summer of 08 --a lot of apologizing for the US 3) His condescending tone to Joe the Plummer in that famous confrontation 4) His various trips abrod and constant putting this country down 5) his thug tactics against those who disagree with him 6) His tendency to admire many dictators such as Chaves,Ortega,Castro. His apeasement, and applogetic tone with Putin and the Iranians.7) His refusal to recognize that there is a war on terror.
Otherwise he is wonderful.

To everyday Americans, Van Jones and Company are radicals. To people like President and Mrs. Hussein Obama they're one of the gang. I think what's most frustrating is this willing suspension of disbelief by the Obamamaniacs; anyone paying attention knew his campaigning as a moderate was all horse.... And, love her or hate her or nothing in between, until Sarah Palin's speech, 2008 was all about him. And Charlie Gibson's immature, unprofessional pouting face said it all. Rememer that, folks. All this hoopla about "those interviews" says more about them than it does about her. Do not ever forget that. Also, think of all the things that have to go wrong to provide the perfect storm for democrats to eek out a victory. It was decisive, but it was hardly a landslide, nor was it a mandate for the kind of "change" we're seeing now. Virginia got over its Obama hangover from hell.

As a side note, I must agree with one point Mr Obama has made: that the United States is, in fact, not a "Christian nation". Rather we are a nation largely of Christians. If the US were a "Christian nation" we would be no more than a theocracy in different colors. In that subtly different arrangement of the words resides the liberty that we all cherish.

Hi there, Marge. I'm still waiting for you to demonstrate that Harry Truman was a "conservative". Harry S Truman emphatically supported the creation of the UN, he pushed his own version of the by-definition ultra-liberal “New Deal” called the “Fair Deal” (Lyndon Johnson cited the Fair Deal as his inspiration for the Great Society), he pushed for UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, Marge, he dumped billions into massive federal social programs, housing projects, public housing and urban renewal (see his Housing Act for more). Those are the actions of a LIBERAL.

Isn't that true, Marge? That your hero Harry Truman was a Liberal?

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 7:24PM

Very funny that you pretend to be in the slightest bit interested in any opinion I might have.
Nor have you ever thought for a second that I "was a sane conservative!" (Below post). Keep lying Toddard.

S.L. Toddard| 11.11.09 @ 6:30PM

"Margie, liberals don't have senses of humor"

You are one odd duck. Remember when I thought someone had hijacked your username? That was because all of a sudden you started sounding like a sane, conservative adult. It was jarring. And now you're back to this nonsense - calling me a "liberal". I understand that from Marge - she literally doesn't know what "liberal" or "conservative" mean. But YOU do. And what's more you know that I'm not a "liberal". The only sort of person who could honestly make that mistake is the sort of person who is under the erroneous impression that "Republican" equals "conservative", and that criticism of the GOP is something only a filthy unbeliever - i.e. a "liberal" would do. Which is to say a brainwashed, party-line regurgitating zombie for whom criticism of the Republican Party is akin to blasphemy (see: Marge). And I know, however misguided and attached to a now-obsolete narrative you are, that that does not describe you. Which means you are being dishonest. You should ask yourself why.

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 7:21PM

You just quoted someone else's quote saying liberals don't have a sense of humor. ^^ above. It wasn't me. But it is the truth. You don't have a sense of humor, nor would I care to try and make you laugh.
I think you're confused. And as far as the rest of the gobildy goop in your post. Weird. Nice faux smear tactics. Dream on.

S.L. Toddard| 11.12.09 @ 7:08AM

Lying scumbag. Like I've said before you low life creep~~ you don't get to define me or anyone else. You are an anti-Semitic lying scumbag. And an America hater. Your posts say so. They are clear for all to behold. Keep on calling America the AGGRESSOR, scumbag. You wouldn't know Patriotism is you bit you in your rear end. Now go crawl back into dark hole where you belong.

Dai Alanye| 11.11.09 @ 2:44PM

I've long been puzzled by the erratic nature of S L Toddard's pronouncements—often anti-conservative (as I understand the term) but occasionally truly conservative.

After these latest communiques from him I'm now ready to propose a definitive analysis.

The explanation lies in his belief in his own intellectual superiority… a mistaken belief. Somewhat like Obama, he considers himself the brightest person in any room he enters.

I'm sure we all regret this delusion from which he suffers.

S.L. Toddard| 11.11.09 @ 3:03PM

Like everyone else, I'm intellectually superior in some capacities to some people. I'm intellectually inferior in other capacities to other people. Ask John II here for more on that.

Let me ask you - do you believe this piece to be in any way constructive? Telling AmSpec readers that Obama is crap? What is the point? Is there anyone here who doesn't already accept that, including myself? If the purpose of this magazine is to raise the self-esteem of mainstream conservatives, to get them to pump their fist in agreement at reading things that coincide in every way with what they already believe then job well done. Otherwise it seems to me like a ridiculous and stupid waste of time. Everyone here already despises Obama. More "Obama Stinks" pieces isn't going to accomplish squat, and it's not going to fix the GOP.

What is needed is a critical look at what ails the GOP, at where the GOP went wrong, at why the GOP lost the last election, at why the GOP's stewardship of our country ended in such mitigated disaster. What is needed is to hear differing conservative viewpoints on what happened, why it happened and how to fix it. These arguments need to be made, need to be aired, need to be read and need to be compared. What is needed is a concerted effort not only to get the GOP back in power, but to get it back into Conservatism - small government, fiscally responsible, Constitutional conservatism.

What is not needed is a concerted effort to sway Republicans away from Obama. It's taking "preaching to the choir" to a whole new level.

S.L. Toddard| 11.11.09 @ 3:04PM

John II| 11.11.09 @ 9:38PM

My dear Toddard, I have absented myself from our intermittent dialogue because I have been most busy of late watching the entire Charlie Chan ouvre, beginning in 1932 and concluding more or less in the 1940's. Yes, I ran out of Laurel and Hardy films of pre-1941 vintage, so I moved on. You may have observed that my more recent postings reflect this preoccupation.

At any rate, I wished merely to remind you of Dr. Johnson's mot, to the effect that men need more often to be reminded of what they already know than to be informed of what they do not know. Such is the human condition: we lose sight of the obvious. A rereading of Boswell would make all this clearer to you.

And now back to Charlie Chan in Rio.

S.L. Toddard| 11.12.09 @ 7:13AM

It's nice that you have a quasi-apropos quote handy for all occasions, but it doesn't really apply to this none. Nobody here needs AmSpec to remind them that Obama is one of the Bad Guys (Democrats) and not one of the Good Guys (Republicans).

DagnerMouse| 11.12.09 @ 1:53PM

Get your head out of your body cavity, Toddard.

It's not all about you, nor about the special little group of people who read this mag and/or frequent this site.

It's free content for a reason, and one of those would clearly be to attract NEW readers. I've never heard of nor read AmSpec before stumbling upon this post (actually I may have heard about it, probably have over the years, but never seen an issue nor visited their web site).

So for me, this post was written to provide me with a not-before-seen list of actions taken by the current POTUS, potentially gaining AmSpec a new reader who might even throw some money their way to maybe buy a subscription or book or something.

To not be able to see this speaks to a monumental blindness - a hubris on the level of our Congress or the POTUS - which fails to even fully process, let alone attempt to comprehend, the world around them. It's not all about you, Sparky, nor your elite cadre of whatever-they-ares with whom you "associate" online.

I didn't feel after reading this piece that my time had been wasted. I did after reading your comments. When I think "you smug elitist tunnel-visioned bastard" about a (avowed but not verified) conservative commentator in a thread about a smug elitist bastard...all I can say is that I think whatever it is you think you're doing, you're doing it wrong.

Curtis Rasmussen| 11.11.09 @ 3:55PM

S.L. Toadturd is a concern troll.

In an argument (usually a political debate), a concern troll is someone who is on one side of the discussion, but pretends to be a supporter of the other side with "concerns". The idea behind this is that your opponents will take your arguments more seriously if they think you're an ally.

The Turd comes across as Lib Reader's alter ego, or sock puppet. Just like Lib Reader, he despises the values promoted by this website. His intellect or lack thereof is irrelevant.

Do not believe The retard ToadTurd. He is very insincere.

Founderguy| 11.11.09 @ 11:22AM

It's important to note, particularly for the diversity sensitive crowd, that Obama is not black. By definition, he is mulatto. Remember, words mean things.

Grzmlyk| 11.11.09 @ 3:03PM

Yeah, Founderguy, but in this age of identity politics, the polarization of ethnicity brooks no compromise: You are either one or the other.

And given the "progress" liberals have foisted on us, if you look black today, you are automatically matriculated into a pre-ordained victim group with pre-fabricated grievances, which is what gave Obama his head start. In fact, his status as a liberal-approved "victim," combined with his rootless identity as an outsider, made him the perfect Manchurian candidate - and just about as loveable as that movie's Raymond Shaw.

I mean, let's be honest: when was the last time the word "mulatto" was used in a sentence in public discourse?

victor| 11.11.09 @ 8:03PM

I'll plead guilty to the charge of public discourse.
I have on many occasions stated that the Current Occupant in the White House is a MULATTO.

Or that could be Toddy after a few too many in Starbucks, calling for "Mo Lattas"

Amor de Cosmos| 11.11.09 @ 11:29AM

Peter McGrath| 11.11.09 @ 11:41AM

Obama is a fellow-traveler of dictators and tyrants throughout the world who are enamored of themselves, view the state as an expression of self(L'etat c'est moi), and who are disdainful of any constraint on, or anyone in competition with, their personal power, such as the rule of law or the private sector.

Freedom loving people everywhere, here and abroad, are beginning to fear and despise him, like any tyrant. Americans can set an example to world by driving him, and his minions, out of power.

Papa Ray| 11.11.09 @ 11:49AM

Great Article. Great comments. But...
What most here are forgetting is that Obama didn't get to be president by himself. For years he was groomed and supported by a group as of now unknown. This group is made up partly of democrats that wanted a puppet in office and partly by non-americans who wanted to change the American government and to foster a more global government and to take over the financial forces in the world. Right now it is impossible to determine who all these people are but we will find out in due time.

Obama is a pretty face with a good speaking voice and is brainwashed by his upbringing and by his puppet masters. Even if we get rid of Obama we still have to deal with those behind him.

And we will in good time I hope.

Papa Ray

txdoc| 11.11.09 @ 11:50AM

Obama is also constitutionally ineligle to be president. His father was a Kenyan (British subject) so he isn't a natural born citizen as the constitution requires.

He needs to be thrown out of office and all the Democratic party leaders who aided and abetted this fraud need to be tried for treason.

Other than that fact and the above excellent article, he is the best president evah! LOL

edwards| 11.11.09 @ 11:51AM

Obama could not pass a top-secret security clearance investigation, yet he is in charge of the security of America.

MPCpiano| 11.11.09 @ 11:54AM

I am at the same point. As we barely get to digest one of Obama's America-changing events, and we wake up to another one. Like Obama not travelling to the Berlin wall ceremony, and then announcing his trip to Hiroshima.

It is like the I Love Lucy converyor belt episode with the citizens not being able to keep up and the insults being flung at America.

Padoux| 11.11.09 @ 11:55AM

Hey Mikey!!! Grow up. This article show that our President disdains this country & holds the view of the liberals of academia that America is an evil country while giving free rides to every tin horn dictator & tyrant on earth. No, to them it is WE who are the problem! I guess before America was founded, there was paradise on earth. Obama is a citizen of the world before he is an American, a despicable position for an American to hold.

RectoNoVerso| 11.11.09 @ 12:12PM

You are just the mirror of the fringe left that makes you go nuts.
There is ample room for debate about Obama's policies, but he doesn't despise America and you know it.

Peter McGrath| 11.11.09 @ 12:42PM

Dear Recto -

Help me out, here. Please describe something about pre-Obama American that Obama supports.

Our free markets? No.
Our middle class? No.
Our market based health-care system? Decidedly, NO.
Our constitution? No.
The values of our Founding Fathers? No.
Our (pre-Obama) support of freedom movements worldwide? No.
Our history of opposition to tyrrany? No.
Our heroic efforts to overthrow Nazism and Communism? No.
Our brave men and women in uniform? Apparently, NO.

Help me out. What, exactly, is it about America that Obama does not despise?

Ghita| 11.11.09 @ 12:53PM

The lefts chickens are coming home to roost. Obama had

No executive leadership experience,
No business experience,
No military experience,
No foreign policy experience,
No economic experience,
No health care experience,
No energy experience, and
No foreign trade experience.

But leftists felt he was the PERFECT candidate because he loathes America as much as they do - and wants to transform it into something highly totalitarian and fascist.

Remember how Obama wouldn't wear a flag pin, nor put his hand over his heart for the pledge? Obama is a divisive hater.

Al Jenner| 11.11.09 @ 12:59PM

I'm worried that the current generation of Democrats all agree with what Obama is doing to our country. Does anyone know a Scoop Jackson, Hubert Humphrey, or JFK?

Jeff| 11.11.09 @ 1:01PM

Awesome recounting of where we are - yet - the question in the fore of my mind is: How in the world did we get here? The only answer I can come up with is the mainstream media's repeated "anointing" of Obama as America's "messiah" which, in itself is a validation of Farrakan's (a real hater's) direct statements.

Ken| 11.11.09 @ 1:16PM

Obama's wife admitted as much during the campaign last year - "For the first time in my life, I'm proud of my country". That was the one bit of honesty in the campaign. No question, we have an America-hating couple in the White House. Let's evict them in 2012 and begin the job of repairing the damage that they and their minions will have done over their 4-year reign.

wankel| 11.11.09 @ 1:19PM

The Earthly Messiah is not as popular as in Jan. See the link to a very recent rasmussen poll.

http://www.rasmussenreports.co.....cking_poll

Yes, its a poll and I do not have much faith in polls, but this article articulates what most of us have known all along, including during the campaign. We didn't have to put our ear to the ground, sample the direction of the wind, or devine the stars. Unfortunately the Obama parade was colorful and the music was delightful, so why not jump on the band wagon? Huh? I know fecal matter from shinola and it was all a shiney bobble. Let us be honest, there's a rogue in the WH, and the clean-up with require a hefty part of the Super Fund. The Messiah, and his cronies, know they're in a downward spiral and will do as much damage as they can before their crash. We must have solid candidates in the next two elections. No AINOs (Americans in Name Only)!!

Everly Waverly| 11.11.09 @ 1:45PM

Finished reading the second page and what's my reaction: Obama is a naive, narcissistic adherent to "Black Liberation Theology", a man who's had everything handed to him and certainly not a patriot.

Everly Waverly| 11.11.09 @ 2:01PM

Read the third page, my reaction: Obama is still a traitorous bastard who had no business being elected president and proving on a daily basis his lack of qualification and it appears his only qualification is reaching the age of 35. Barack Obama is a charlatan-fraud who would have done himself and his sycophantic supporters a favor to have read some American history, not Malcolm X biographies or sat through "Black Liberation Theology" sermons. Yeah, he's a flip-flying schmuck!!!

John II| 11.11.09 @ 1:37PM

Well, my bumper-sticker contest didn't go very far yesterday, so let me try another tack. How about a contest in which the object is to produce a sentence semantically equivalent to "Barack Obama despises America." Here are some samples to start with:

Bears poop in the woods.
Fish move in the water.
Liberals love to impose taxes.
Deciduous trees drop their leaves in the fall.
Dogs bark.
Maureen Dowd is a verbal hysteric.
David Brooks regrets an early enthusiasm for Obama.
The editors of The New York Times are dishonest.
Cows moo.

Notice how the sentences may be either analytic or synthetic in form, but are nonetheless identical semantically. They all state something so obvious that we would have few occasions to say any of them. My examples don't quite reach the level of "Barack Obama despises America," but that's the object of the contest. Any takers?

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 3:02PM

Serge from Wellington| 11.11.09 @ 1:38PM

Good article, and some interesting comments (and usual crap from lefty liberal visitors).

What I did not find anywhere on this page was the understanding that the system which allowed an admitted domestic terrorist ... whose most notable life's accomplishments were to set off bombs that killed and maimed innocent people to enter academia and inject several generations of young Americans with his venom - this same system has put Barack Hussein to the White House. This system allowed another America hater of Islamic creed, Nidal Hasan, to become a major in the US military, and eventually a mass murderer. Amasingly, that Bill Ayers became a mass murderer first, and educator of your children after that!

This list can be continued and it is long, so I'll just reiterate: the failure is systemic, so it is the system which needs to be repaired - just to remove the impostor from the position wouldn't suffice.

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 3:04PM

Actually, the claim "we the People Are the government" is not exactly true.

The government is made up of citizens; the government submits to the will of the people in regular elections; the people send its chosen representatives to serve in government.

All of these things are true. But it is really true to say the people are the government. It's not how the term "the people" works in the Constitution, and it's just not how the term works in the English language.

Snake Liar Toddard is not a conservative. He believes in FORTRESS AMERICA. NO fighting overseas. This is Leftist. This is not conservative. Go look it up. He calls himself a "Paleo-Conservative." He doesn't agree we ought to help Israel, our best ally in the middle east. He also calls OUR COUNTRY, the one he claims I hate, THE AGGRESSOR.
Toddard is a liar. He despises true conservatives. He used to constantly post links to his Communist websites~~one of them is AMCON. Go read what they believe.

Reading the previous posts and watching all media broadcasts - not just FOX. It is apparent that the present day Obama supporters lack open mindedness. I'm still trying to understand the protectionism (is that a word?) and fascination with our leader who exudes Anti-American messages on such a regular basis. And, haven't liberals learned that government control and handouts hurt America? These are very scary times - be afraid, be very very afraid.

JanineC| 11.11.09 @ 2:00PM

Folks on the left cannot seem to accept factual statements that go against their ideology without getting all upset. Their first response is to call it all nonsense or crazy but then they cannot provide any specific facts to refute the information. Instead, they rely on soundbites instead of a reasonable, rational argument explaining why they are right and the other side is wrong.

If they could, in fact, present a substantive, reasonable argument, then maybe we could get somewhere. Until they do, they will look foolish for demanding that people accept their views without question. It is silly to believe that anyone who makes the comments that Charles did is a "conservative" unless he is simply an ignorant follower who also does not make reasoned judgements. More likely, he is a plant for the left.

Margie| 11.11.09 @ 2:40PM

Well, thing is, he's not President any longer. And he is still a far better human being than Obama could ever be.
Y'all just can't deal with it.

I really wonder what Juanita Castro (the exiled sister of Fidel who worked with the CIA and against her brothers after she saw their tyranny and communist colors) thinks about what is happening here in the U.S. now. I can't wait to read her book. Maybe this is why she wrote it.

Cervantes| 11.11.09 @ 2:43PM

Honestly!

I have no idea what all the complaining is all about.
President Obama loves us and wants to take care of us.
He is trying to get good healthcare for all of us because we need it and its really important. I am a young person who is in college and I plan on "immigrating" to the US soon and I really health care. I am a resident of the world too ya know!
Rich people can pay for it for because they are rich and have lots of money!
Besides, Michelle is really good looking and wears nice dresses.
I think that President Obama wants me to have a really new modern "green home" and a nice diverse enviroment for my stuffed puppies to play in with my modular non-racist public educated children.
After all, Muslims arent so bad once you convert to their way of thinking.
Why cant you all see this? President Obama loves you too. Except for you Mr Ken Texican. You are very silly. I think you need to eat a empanada or something.

Glad to see another admirer of Mr. Sore-ass on this site. His breathtaking efforts on behalf of the U.S. Dollar seem to finally be paying off. Consider that the Bank of India recently exchanged 6.7 billion U.S. Dollars for 200 tons of gold. This shot the gold price to record highs and at least through yesterday this value increase continued. At the same time, it increased the supply of OUR dollar in the world market. Then recently on Drudge there was a link to a story that the Chinese are considering floating the value of the renminbi on the foreign exchange market. Currently, they strive to keep the exchange rate between the yuan and the buck within a controlled range. If they change this policy and no one buys treasuries at their next auction, it will be a clear sign that there is no demand for OUR currency. Guess what happens to OUR money as the supply increases and the demand decreases. We are in for that very crisis beavisbud seeks. I just wish I knew how sore-ass is placing his bets. I know at least one of his againsts, but so far I have not figured out where he’s placed his chips. Maybe he’ll email me his secrets.

While shuffling through the posts from this excellent article, I noticed people comparing "President" Anti-Christ to Jimma Carter, as if Bill Clinton never existed.

Let us not forget, no matter how charming he seemed to be, the absolute corruption of the Clinton administration.

Everything this pervert touched he stained, not just the blue dress.

Today he addressed the Senate, excoriating them to vote for the freedom stealing healthcare package.

During his speech, he ironically mentioned the "teabaggers", a vulgar sex act of which we can be sure that he, at least, engaged in personally.

So don't skip over the most powerful child molester in American history. and if you don't think a vulnerable 22 year old girl is a child, you don't have daughters!

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 3:00PM

Mr. Hyman,

First, speculating about private motives, feelings, attitudes, etc. is anti-intellectual. It marks you off as a crank right from the very beginning.

Almost by definition the claim you are making is impossible to substantiate with evidence.

The little clips of information you offer to bolster this hopeless argument are ripped out of all context and interpreted without skill, panache, or wisdom.

Second, the whole notion that the president "despises" America is childish and stupid. No person who has any sense would take such a claim seriously.

Now, we expect a certain amount of stupid hicks to publish bigoted nonsense like this.

No one will be surprised by your essay; and few will be interested in it. No one will be driven crazy by its claims, or require any special therapeutic treatment. Believe me, the literate Americans who might have the misfortune of reading this, whether they're conservative or liberal, will not take it seriously enough to become angry about it.

I do wish I knew one thing: why do you bother to write at all?

You don't have anything original to contribute to the national debate: look at the thread that follows your essay! Just more dopes scrawling more lies, smears, and insults.

You evidently don't know the most basic rules of public discourse, of reasoning, or of crafting arguments.

What a bad job your freshman comp. teacher did!

I'm sure this condescending comment was written with nose in the air, looking down through glasses on the nose (a la Charlie Gibson), and the best snide accent indicating one completely sure of his intellectual and moral superiority.

LOL Typical liberal.

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 5:34PM

No Jilly. It was made holding my nose.

I don't look down on conservatives. I do look down on idiots who publish bullshit like this article.

Comparing me to Charlie Gibson is ridiculous. Again, why not make an argument and try to explain your reasoning rather than speculating about how I where my glasses, what my attitude is, or whether I (or anyone else) secretly despise America?

It's called political debate.

And no, adults don't write "LOL." That's for thirteen year old girls posting on face book. (Along with Sarah Palin.)

BHO followed the money in Chicago, and he and the money trail (Soros) are intertwined. The check writers determine what he does; do you think it was three million 200-dollar donors who got him his 2008 campaign chest? I submit that could not have been the case. It cost money to process 200 dollar donations!

Jeff Perren| 11.11.09 @ 4:05PM

The one flaw in the article is that it is far too kind to Obama. He's much worse than this article paints.

For example, there's no mention that he hires (and presents) such creatures as Sonia Sotomayer, Rahm Emmanuel, Cass Sunstein, and Larry Summers as moderates, when they're in fact as far left as any of those mentioned. To hire openly communist thugs is bad enough, but they're easily exposed. To hire - especially for the Supreme Court - fascists who refuse to own up to their radical leftist views is far more damaging.

But then, once you reach Obama's level of evil, the needle is already off the scale anyway.

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 5:39PM

"Obama's level of evil"?

You have no moral compass. His "level of evil"?

Jeff, let me explain something to you, you obtuse jackass.

We vote in this country. 67 million of your fellow citizens -- or thereabouts -- voted for Obama. He received more votes than his candidate, which means, he won the election.

I know that was a disappointment to you, but sometimes things just don't go your way.

That doesn't mean your opponent is evil.

Are you a fucking child?

On Veterans Day, to talk that way is really unbelievably ungrateful.

You live in a free society. You have political liberties undreamt of in the rest of the world. But you can sit on your fat useless ass and bandy around words like "evil" as though they have no meaning.

After racking my brain all night I still can not remember where the quip came from. All I can remember is one of the books characters discussion of contempt by the political elite was a fundamental component of a revolution. Marie Antoinette's quote “Let them eat cake” is the most famous example.
The disconnect between the current political elite and the population base is the widest I have seen in years and growing wider every day. As the Irish saying goes “ This can only end in tears”.

Absolutely 100% correct and any honest person will admit the fact. Obama was raised largely outside the US, grew up hating it and brought that with him to office.

Bydand76| 11.11.09 @ 6:56PM

Liberal Reader,
What about BHO's attendance at an obvious anti-white church? I will bet you never thought about that though did you Lib Reader?

I like how Liberal Reader always comes out with the invectives and rails against people and their opinions whenever they do not conform to his own ideology. Some what of a close minded attitude to take in my humble opinion.

Like George Washington said and I quote:

“The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it”

Sums it up fairly nicely in my opinion.

Actions speak louder than words Mr. Lib Reader and from what I have seen, BHO is on the verge of being one of the worst presidents this country has ever seen or experianced.

He is a parasitical incompotent who speaks very well. Nothing more. Nothing Less.
I will let history and BHO bear my opinion out on this matter however.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction”
Ronald Reagan

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 10:41PM

Bydand --

Your use of quotations is flaccid and not very judicious.

On what basis do you call Obama a "parasitical incompetent."

Using the term "parasite" has a sort of fascist flavor to it: perhaps you're getting at the customary notion that non-white people are "parasites" on our culture, etc. It's the sort of thing bigots are always talking about.

OR maybe you mean something else. It's helpful if you explain your reasoning and leave all the hysterics out.

Margie| 11.12.09 @ 1:12PM

"Fascist flavor"... hmmm, ya mean like as in Mmm, Mmm, good?

Bydand76| 11.12.09 @ 9:12PM

Whatever Liberal Reader,

If you are too stupid to mistake a well defined jab in your direction as hysterics then obviously you need to get a grip on reality.
If that is even remotely possible.
All things considered of course.

I will do you a favor though and spell it out for you since you suffer from the same affliction as your glorious PBHO.

You swear to much and I find it offensive. As a good liberal you should be more sensitive to my needs and concerns. Please refrain from cursing and calling people vulgar names as it reveals a lack of imagination and intelligence on your part. Especially when you dis-agree with the person. Sarcasm and wit are much more appropriate in my opinion. This is probably lost on someone such as yourself however. (Suprise!)

I call the Amoeba Obama a parasite because that's what I think of his idealogy and I consider him an incompotent because so far his actions have revealed a serious lack of insight, knowledge and any semblance of intelligence. Therefore he is a parasitic incompotent, ergo: A Socialst Democrat!

Please spare me the "fascist" race baiting ok. You dont know me or would even pretend to condescend to someone like me. You have no idea of who I am or what I look like OR what my family ancestory is. Please extend me the courtesy of not using such a shallow and "flaccid" argument.

If anything it is you who is behaving like a jack booted thug with your slavish obediance to an obvious threat to this country.

You Liberals like to preach a good game about tolerance and open dialogue but in practice you are about the most intolerant bunch of backward thinking hypocrites I can think of.

I WILL give you a compliment though,
you follow the Liberal playbook remarkably well Liberal Reader. When in dis-agreement over substance, accuse your opponent of racism and hyperbole and then curse at them using vulgar invectives and vile language.
Re-read George Washington's quote Liberal Reader. I thought it to be remarkably succint and to the point. I can not help it if it was lost on your feeble mind. That is YOUR problem. Not mine.

Again, you prove yourself to be nothing more than a typical moronic liberal incapable of intelligent conversation.

I find you to be nothing more than a disease on liberty and freedom. The same goes for BHO and I could care less what you think about it. Progressive psuedo-intellectual Liberals such as yourself are cowards. I despise you for what you stand for and I find your convictions to borderline on sedition and treason.
I
f I could, I would end this charade and send all of you to live on some distant planet where you could destroy yourselves with the cancer called socialism! In short, I find you a disgusting waste of carbon based life.

In response to this post, odds are you will accuse me of hate speech now. That would be par for the course with someone as close-minded and foolish as yourself. To be honest with you though? I really don't care if you do. It is what it is and if you don't like it? Well, at least I am respectful and can insult you with some integrity and class.

I put my money where my mouth is and back up what I believe Liberal Reader. If you want,. I will give you my address and we can settle this the old fashioned way when I get back from my deployment. IF you have the stones for it.

I am more than willing to do that!

I CAN'T THINK OF A GREATER DANGER TO OUR WAY OF LIFE THAN pres obama.

Not very much thoughtful discussion on this thread.

Reading it does confirm the suspicion that has been developing for some time now in my study of the tea bagger type:

To be reactionary is to be racist.

The two political impulses are intertwined so deeply pulling them apart is impossible. Thus the protofascist impulse so often given voice by people who call themselves "conservative."

tonypal| 11.11.09 @ 9:56PM

I'm curious, what exactly is the "tea bagger" type? My understanding of the term tea bagging is that it's a sexual act in which a man squats over a woman (or perhaps a man, to be politically correct) and puts his b***s in the person's mouth. So I'm curious: What does putting one's b***s in someone else's mouth have to do with anything you've read in either the above article or any of the responses to the article?

Liberal Reader| 11.11.09 @ 10:33PM

When the so-called "tea party" event was first being advertised on Fox News, that corporate news outlet hilariously referred to the act of participating as "tea-bagging."

Soon, the blogs were exploding with mockery and mirth over the gaffe, and the news channel and organizers changed their terminology.

Or did you vote for him because, you yourself, are half and half?
Half man and half woman?
Affirmative action is giving preferential treatment to those who do not deserve something on their merits, but on their skin color or gender, such as Latina Sotomayor.

I don't disagree with your artical, now, what should we do? We got the govenment we have because we big American chickens won't stand up to our so called leaders. How about some action. How about a tax revolt. Lets do something to get the attention of Washington. Would it be legal, most likely not, but what is going on there is not either, and there is more of us than there is of them.

What dope is ATLmedia smoking tonight? That's a nice laundry list you wrote. Only problem is that Obama has actually done none of that. Please show me where he's fought corporate pollution and upgraded fuel standards (and where the US Constitution says that's a President's job), where he's restored US integrity (with the Iranians who denounce him I guess) or (LoL) mended relations with "w/USSR" (news flash: it no longer exists), ended torture as a US policy (he closed Guantanamo and ended wiretapping too I suppose) and salvaged the economy (over 10% unemployment and climbing). The man and his administration have actually made the economy worse, debased the currency, has alienated our allies and emboldened the nation's enemies. The shame is yours.

Nick| 11.11.09 @ 11:59PM

I can't understand why you stinking libs are still defending B.O.

He's sticking it, figuratively, to the homos.
He's escalating the war in Afghanistan.
He never even tried to fight for a "single-payer" system.
He kept GWB's Secretary of Defense.
He hasn't stopped warrantless wiretaps.
He's not going to investigate the Bush Administration for crimes.
Dick Cheney is walking around free to disparage B.O.
He helped bailout Wall Street.

Did someone say "Tax Revolt?" The government bloodsuckers sit at the door of your wallet ---- they plunder your paycheck before it gets into your wallet, by means of routine theft [periodic payroll deductions], using your employer as the tax collector ---- and by making terrorist threats against anyone who doesn't comply. Think I'm kiddin'? Go ahead and try a "Tax Revolt" ---- and then put up a fight when their uniformed thugs come for you ---- they'll blow a bunch of bullet holes in you "to discourage the others" who might contemplate a Second America Revolution. The scumbag jihadi loonytoon at Fort Hood was of course a terrorist. He still lives, and he thinks that "The blood of infidels is as perfume to Allah, and almost as sweet as the blood of martyrs." But America's No. 1 terrorist group is the IRS ---- and while they don't want you to say that publicly, they do want you to think that and feel that. Oh, and they oppose your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Very mysterious ---- I just can't figure that one out, can you, dear reader? ~:

Due to my obligations to this country as one of it's sworn protectors, my opinions must be reserved to myself about our current CinC. What I can opine about is this is a great article, well thought out and planned. It's quite obviously not an emotional rant, as some in this thread have accused it to be. I have the unique position to recognize many of the possible directions, that are mentioned in the article, that our great nation may be headed down. I've already seen many of the government spending cuts towards military health care and veteren's already meager care and benefits. I am currently in disbelief (more like shock) that the true "silent majority" a.k.a current and former military personnel are being pushed to the side and told to fend for ourselves because there are people who make more than we do from welfare programs, that need more help and money. This truly disgusts me. I hope that soon, those of you that currently have the right to speak out about your opinions, do more than speak. Otherwise, you are just blowing smoke up someone's rectum. Just remember, the true "silent majority" is waiting for you all to make America the great country that it used to be... and that it can be again.

Please don't take this as an attack... as a service member, I can tell you that my brothers and sisters in arms did not die for oil! If you had been there, picked up a weapon, discharged it at the enemy (you know, the one's that are shooting at you) you would understand this.

finlandstation| 11.12.09 @ 1:13AM

Since when have the Iraqi people become an enemy? We invaded their land for their oil and they are not supposed to defend themselves?
What we have done to those people is CRIMINAL.
Remember, when the troops first entered Baghdad the first and only institution they defended was the offices of the oil ministry!!

Many of them had visas from multiple Middle- Eastern countries that stated their perpose for being in Iraqi as simply- Jihad. Also I know that the first Iraqi insitution that was placed under armed guard in Baghad was the National Musuem to prevent looting.

finlandstation| 11.12.09 @ 4:03PM

When you lie a nation into a war...as Bush and the neocons did with Iraq....you already lost the war!

Vietnam was justified because North Vietnam was a client state of the Soviet Union. American troops did not engage with Russian troops but with Soviet SAMS, MIGS, AK-47s, RPGs,etc.
American POWs did encounter Russian interrogators as well as East Germans, Castro Cubans, and North Koreans. No Red Chineese since Mao regarded the Vietnameese as "dogs".
Nixon and Kissinger did well to play the "China card."

Charles S| 11.12.09 @ 11:56AM

All one has to do is read through the series of comments posted here and realize what's really wrong with our country: (1) everyone has an opinion that they think is right and is unwilling to listen to the ideas of others; basically our country is becoming populated by a bunch of close-minded egoists; (2) we are so willing to jump to conclusions--our president hasn't even been in office for a year yet, so give the man a chance to prove himself; and (3) when did we become so hateful as a nation? So many of the comments here are full of hate, it makes me sad.

Remember the idea of the Melting Pot? That's what we're moving towards more and more folks. Our president is symbolic of that--he was born to black and white parents, both of whom were of different religions. We also have a growing population from other countries and our children are looking beyond ideology and the physical traits of race and color to get married and bear children who embody the traits of many cultures. While most of the posts here reflect a seeming disdain for the Melting Pot idea, I for one believe in it and am willing to give the man a chance. I don't believe he hates America, and anyone who actually believes that is a moron. If you don't like the job he's doing, then vote for the other guy in 2012. Until then, give him an opportunity to prove himself.

Charles, you're confusing melting pot with salad bowl. "Melting pot" implies that Americans 'become' homogenous, adopting American culture. Further, you're confusing disagreement with hate. Sure, there are those who hate - maybe even posters here. However, disagreeing with Barry Hussein's policies and knowing the history which has ALREADY shown that they're failures is not 'hating' the President. It's knowing truth and speaking it. Modern leftists like Barry Hussein hate the 1st Amendment precisely b/c they rely on the inattentiveness and lack of information getting to the majority of the populace.

If you can't see facts in front of you, then you and Alan should probably move to Massachusetts and get married, live happily ever after (however long that lasts), adopt and ruin a little child, and then divorce after a couple of years, further ruining the poor kid.

Smell the American coffee.

Accusations of racism lose their weight when people over-use the term. Everything people say or do cannot be racist. Race became an issue for people to throw at each other, after Obama took office. Til then, many Americans were making significant progress @ getting past skin color. Not there yet, but well on the way. Now we have many officials castigating any & all w/ nasty remarks, just to push their agenda. Pushing their agenda is what proves to me their point is not racism, but power!
Name three good speeches by Obama since he's taken office where he extolled the virtues of being an American & having American values!
It cannot be done. And, if one is not proud of being an American or having American values, they show themselves as uninformed. When one castigates almost all about America, then one exposes their virulent anti-Americanism.

TO THE FINLAND STATION..!!| 11.12.09 @ 4:56PM

For the laggards and idiots who don't want to 'google' OPERATION NORTHWOODS

In 1997 the National Archives released documents from the JFK Administration in which the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff along with officials from the CIA proposed to President Kennedy that as a 'pretext' to an invasion of Castro's Cuba, certain 'elements' of the military would be able to stage bombings in New York City, Washington,DC, and Miami along with 'hijackings' of civilian aircraft and make it appear to have been done by Castro Cubans. In other words, a "false flag operation" to rally the American people to support an all-out war against Fidel Castro.

President Kennedy fired the Joint Chiefs along with the top 3 admins. at the CIA.

Are we even going to make it to 2010? I get more frightened and discouraged every day as I see the attacks of Obama and his followers on the country I used to know.

And even if we do, how can we rid ourselves of this horrible Socialist "health insurance" bill if it becomes law?

My family did without for most of our lives: we worked and saved and struggled to get a little ahead. Now the Socialists in Congress and Obama are going to take it all away. My children, now, are just getting by, and I have a son who cannot find a job for love or money. What are they going to do after Obamacare becomes law?

Obama and his minions have damaged our great country so badly that I fear it is struggling for breath against the Socialist cords that are strangling it. I don't know if we can recover. Electing this man President was the worst mistake the American people ever made. I saw through him from the start, and I'm not all that insightful a person. Why were so many others fooled? I would really like to know.

It is so sad, to me, that there is even an argument. Freedom is what our country is built on. Freedom from oppression of any kind. That includes Muslim dictators that are somehow made president. Dear Leader seems to be doing everything to destroy what makes our country great and is being supported by, if the polls are correct, 51% of our country. 51% of our fellow Americans are, figuratively, holding the constitution while he aims and fires. Our heritage as Americans has been watered down by 51%. Munley took several bullets, and lost a lot of blood for our country. Something Dear Leader would be quite hesitant to do, seeing as how there is so much wrong with it. I'm holding tight to my second amendment. Cold dead hands.

This is a decent piece, but Obama is just as anti-European as he is anti-American. In fact, in a very profound sense, he's the most anti-European (read: anti-Western) president we've ever had.

Mark Hyman loves anal sex. There, I said it. He loves taking a dick any old time. There I said it.

Mark Hyman loves getting his ass slammed by hard cocks.

Mark Hyman, lover of gay erotica and homosexual videos, is steaming hot for a big bowl of Santorum. And who can blame him??? Mark Hyman is hot for dick. I know this. How? See, I wrote it, therefore I know it. THIS IS HOW JOURNALISM WORKS!

Hopefully you grow up soon. You are a text book example of a lib.
The left is the party of racists and has done an amazing job convincing minorities that they are not. And if they are not screaming racists they are saying nasty things like Gay Lover here.
Take off your blinders for a day and seriously look at this administration. If you are honest with yourself you will see that they do hate America and are doing their best to bring us down.

Nick| 11.13.09 @ 9:16AM

Hey KOOK!

How much do you get from google for the key-word search you're pushing, CLOWN? Looking for some pocket change for the Vegas trip?

As you can see, we here at AS are too smart for such transparent hoaxes. The cleaner will meet you Vegas.

American liberals have long identified Europe as a sort of left-wing utopia. More so than the United States, European countries have experimented with various forms of socialism, but these implementations were largely in small, homogenous countries – the only environment where socialism has ever “worked.” As Christopher Caldwell has pointed out:

"Alberto Alesina and Edward Glaeser, the Harvard economists, have shown that roughly half of Americans’ antipathy towards European-style socialism can be accounted for by the ethnic diversity of the United States. This view is given support by the recent work of Robert Putnam, the sociologist, who finds that people living under conditions of diversity “hunker down”. They trust their neighbours less – even neighbours of their own kind. They are less philanthropic, less social and less inclined to pay taxes."

Thus, when liberals look at Europe close up, past the thin veneer of socialist programs, their enthusiasm wanes. Matthew Yglesias, having just returned from Europe, today writes:

"And I think there’s also often a kind of image of Europe as a place where more of the progressive agenda has been achieved than in the USA. But I think that you’ll find if you look at Europe through the eyes of the liberal agenda that while the German left has certainly been more successful than the American left at securing universal health care, it’s been much less successful at promoting a tolerant, integrated, multicultural society. And allowing for the errors implicit in making any kind of sweeping generalization, I’d say that’s pretty generally the case across Europe. This Swiss People’s Party campaign poster would, I think, make Jesse Helms blush. And I’m not even sure which of the Northern League posters from Italy is the most egregious."

Europeans have deeper blood and soil roots than most Americans. They have real nations, in the sense of the Latin natio, implying link by blood. I predict that in the near future we shall witness more promising right-wing movements in Europe than in the U.S. And it’s going to be real shocker for American liberals.

My Dad was in Normandy. He had a burst appendix and another soldier took his place. That young man was killed in action as soon as he hit the battlefield. My Dad is now 77 yrs. old. He only just told me about it last Summer. For the first time in my life, I understood my Dad.
God bless all of our Armed Forces. They have a special place in Heaven.

ISarahSue| 11.14.09 @ 12:08AM

In the various facts which show Obama's lack of Patriotism,and lack of protocol abroad, in this (Mark Hyman's) article, one not mentioned, had to do with our formerly good relationship with England.
1. He gave thoughtless gifts to both the Queen and the Prime Minister when he visited here.
2. He rejected the offer of continued display of the Churchill bust in the White House
3. The Obama's lack of proper protocol when visiting the Queen of England--touching etc.
A friend in Germany was astonished at the lack of protocol and over familiarity the Obama's exhibited when the TV showed their visit with Queen Elizabeth.

Richard Baker| 11.14.09 @ 10:47AM

As to the Kenyan's lack of class, if he were white(?) he'd be just another example of white trash. The man has a God complex and is perplexed when we don't bow to him. Poor baby.

MainStreet| 11.14.09 @ 12:01PM

Great article Mark. It has been a long time that I've seen so many comments generated in such a short time. I agree that Obama is trying to tear down all America has stood for and build it back in his own way. Unfortunately, no one will like the "Change" that he foresees.

As for the comments on slavery, nothing has kept the African-Americans down so much as the liberal programs that keep them without complete families, uneducated and wards of the state. Those that have broken free of these policies have proven themselves to be intelligent, self sufficient contributors to society.

Consitutional Attorney's Response to HR 3200

IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS AFTER THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH , READ WHAT A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER HAS TO SAY...

Michael Connelly of Carrollton , Texas is a retired Constitutional lawyer and has read the entire health care bill and has some comments, not about the bill, but about the effects on our Constitution. It's a broader picture than just health care reform.
It's time we sit up and pay attention; once this sort of thing happens, it will be irreversible. We have reason to be very afraid of what is happening.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILLS

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, andprobably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.

However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead, it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed "acceptable" to the "Health Choices Administrator" appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a "tax" instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the "due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn't stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The 10th Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation" to support the Constitution. If I was a member of Congress, I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source. Here is a link to the Constitution:http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html
And another to the Bill of Rights: http://www.archives.gov/exhibi.....nscript...
There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

RSC| 11.14.09 @ 9:50PM

Not suprisingly, Michael Connelly of Carrollton , Texas brings up constitutional issues with health care. He is a devout hater of the left and is a believer in the big liberal conspiracy concerning the first amendment. Bring on a real source, not just a right wing nut job with a blog on the Internet. As far as first amendment issues, let's be clear that the last administration was very good at managing the message through manipulation of the media. It's nothing new - only now the shoe is on the other foot.

How constitutional was Homeland Security? Oh, that's right, American's don't have a specified right to privacy. Privacy is not a right, according to Constitutional literalists, and this argument is about the literalist view of the Constitution. Believe it or not, some people believe the Constitution is a framework for managing a complex collection of government relationships while trying to balance commerce and public interests. The framework group believes the literalist constitutional view is like teaching Genesis in high school science class.

Nick| 11.16.09 @ 12:31AM

Most of the "framework group" are a bunch of illiterate useful idiots who don't want to put in the hard work to find out what the Framers actually meant when they wrote, debated, and ratified the document.

The rest are nefarious marxists who want to destroy this country by making it socialist.

hunter| 11.15.09 @ 2:17PM

If anyone had bothered to ask canidate Obama for basic credentials (as even a 5 years old signing up for kindergarden) such as a birth certificate, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Yes, Obama got more votes. That don't mean he has support of the majority of the people. Besides with Acorn stuffing the ballot boxes who did you think would win? Duh? "Acorn needs Obama, Obama needs Acorn", is the sound that I hear being repeated over and over. Now how could Obama afford a Harvard degree? If he had worked his way thru Harvard we most certainly would have heard about it over and over, but noo so someone picked up the tab, some rich, socialist with an agenda on their mind. I don't belive for one minute that rich socialist would have picked just one dim wit to influence and promote, no they would picked several, so we must be on guard as far as elections go and do through examination of each canidate. I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of 'Skull and Bones, Harvard and that sissy school for draft dodgers Oxford. I'll never vote for anyone that attended either.

The Man Who Despises America
By Mark Hyman on 11.11.09 @ 6:09AM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well Said Mr. Hyman! This is a true and damning Bill of Particulars against Mr. Osama. AND he gets more and more chronic with each passing day. I am still awaiting the expected onslaught following his / Eric Holder's catastrophic decision to "try" KSM and others in Article III courts in NYC.

Wow. I stumbled on this website by mistake and have to say that I completely agree with Alyeska. It's fascinating, and scary, to see such baseless hate and read an author and commentators so completely out of touch with reality.

Kellie| 11.23.09 @ 9:01PM

I stumbled upon this article while Googling "Hugo Chavez Hates America". Imagine my surprise when the man hating America in this article was not Chavez, but our nation's top political leader.

I voted for Obama because I was ready for a change, but now that I see him for who he really is, 2012 can't come fast enough.

Obviously Mark Hyman got his marching orders from the RNC. Politico's Ben Smith has written about an internal RNC memo outlining the fear campaign being planned by the committee to shake down potential donors. I would urge those on the right to take a look at the contempt some within the RNC harbor for you.

For all of its pretense, I am beginning to think that AmSpec is really no more than a cog in the GOP noise machine.

I used to think otherwise, but this unhinged rant is so ridiculous and so in line with what Limbaugh, Beck et. al. are saying that I now have serious doubts about this site as a serious place for reading about and debating issues.
