These people really are low-life hoods. Read here for more on Obama’s gangster government. The Earth really would be a better place if Barack Obama and his ilk all blasted themselves into space on a one-way mission to Alpha Centauri.

A liberal recently told me that it was important to find out and publicize who is contributing to conservative causes. I replied that my elementary school teachers taught me that the debate should be over the ideas, not the personalities, but she didn't care. In stating her views, this child of modern liberalism took the same position as the hate infested Ku Klux Klan took decades ago. They too demanded to know who was in the membership of an organization they didn't like - the NAACP. It wasn't then, and it isn't now, for public information on the debate of issues. It is solely for political harassment. We have seen it in California recently too, where contributors to political measures are boycotted, harassed and discriminated against.

For the thousandth time once again, anyone with an average IQ should have been able to see this coming well before 11/4/08. It was entirely predictable, and is simply testament to the stupidity of the American voter. There is no other explanation or rationale possible!!!!!

A very good friend of mine told me recently that he had attended a Tea Party event, and signed up to get their e-mails. Yep, you guessed it: he is now being audited by the IRS. Clinton did this too.

Yep Paul, I'm surprised that a swat team didn't invade his house and arrest him. I mean, how dare him congregate with normal Americans, huh? I'm hopeful that the beggining of the end of this crapola will begin on 11/6/12!!!!

I knew he was a thug and a traitor long ago. I held my nose and voted for McCain, who handled Obama with kid gloves. Fortunately, the Romney campaign is fighting back harder in the trenches. But we NEED that video of Obama and Khalidi.
Oldefarte| 5.13.12 @ 12:40PM
Agreed OT! From every angle, the political correctness [again due to our collective guilt over slavery] was running wild prior to 11/08. As you know, I don't tolerate discrimination etc; but telling the TRUTH [Wright, Ayers, Marshall etc]is always permissable. As you say, hopefully Romney will fight fire with fire, excluding race-based of course [which it is not nor has it ever been about with him]. He's a radical and far beyond, and this truth needs to be told!!!!!

Actually the supporters of the Obama thugery and thugs themselves. But if there is any good news about them it is this: They are extremely stupid and those prone to make mistakes as Obama is himself. In the end it is the self aggrandizement of riches and thus power that eventually leads the likes of Obama to their down fall. They are blinded by their love of self. A good example is this video oround on the web of a OWS youth being toyed with by a man who is a a Jew from the former USSR. This guy is a conservative and while "educating" this dumbell who knows nothing of what he speaks at the same the conservative is having fun because he knows he is talking to a real idiot. The reason: Many true believers of Obama have no facts to back themselves up and that is because Obama himself and his policies have failed( or were meant to fail ).

Martin,
Good video. If I'm correct that video was posted at The American Thinker by Thomas Lifson. I watched it yesterday.
It is truly sad that immigrants and refugees from the former Soviet Union know so much more about world history and American history and government than our "best and brightest".
I continue to be appalled by the outright ignorance of our citizens and some of my family, friends and neighbors. I divide them into two groups; those who don't want to know any thing, the blissfully ignorant if you will and those who are "true believers" and so commited to Leftist Ideaology nothing will move them.

Once again, the filth-stream media deserves the lion's share of blame for this. How the ^%&($%^@! can something like this not be absolute stop the presses news? This goes to the very fundamentals of American govenance.

'.... Breitbart.com Wright: Obama Tried To Bribe Me To Keep Quiet in 2008 by Ben Shapiro According to Edward Klein in today’s New York Post, then-Senator Barack Obama’s political campaign tried, through back channels, to bribe Rev. Jeremiah Wright not to speak during the 2008 election cycle. The price: $150,000.According to Wright, “one of Barack’s closest friends” directed an offer to Wright through a member of Wright’s church. Obama also asked to meet with Wright “in secret, in a secure place.” They met one-on-one. Here’s what happened at the meeting, according to Wright:“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I could never be a politician.’“And he said, ‘It’s going to get worse if you go out there and speak. It’s really going to get worse.’“And he was so right.”Apparently, then, Obama never disowned Wright’s views. He just disowned him publicly, and tried to pay him off to keep quiet.......'
