Ohh Thanks :)

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,” Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing. If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.”

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president!

Obama has absolutely NO pride in the United States of America.

If the President of the United States doesn’t want to be perceived as taking sides — then he shouldn’t be the President. We certainly want the President to be on the side of the United States.

Is this what he wants to add to his list of changes, to eliminate our “Star Spangled Banner” and stop saluting the flag?

Snopes debunked that one months ago, and yet here it is on an official GOP site being fraudulently presented as “truth”, with nothing to suggest it shouldn’t be taken at face value. Go figure.

Righties are the weakest people I’ve ever observed.

OSAMA BIN LADEN HAS NO BETTER FRIEND THAN GEORGE W. BUSH.

Why is this so? Well, look at the record. OBL wanted US troops out of the “holy land” of Saudi Arabia. We pulled out. OBL wanted to bog us down in a war in some Middle Eastern country. We invaded and occupied Iraq. OBL wanted to see the price of oil skyrocket so that more money would be in the hands of Muslims. Well, I’ve been paying more than 400% more for gas than I did when Dubya was sworn in.

Sen. Obama has no relation whatsoever to OBL, but Dubya sure does. The Bush family and the bin Laden family have been friends and business partners for years.

tokin, you should take a different tack. Trying to make us believe that Obama is a republican won’t fly here, at least not with me.

And Bill Ayers.
And Vietnam.
And the “counter-culture”.
And student protests.
And ‘moral relativism.’
And “patriotism.”

This election is, in some very important ways, ‘72 revisited…and Obama already turned his back–remember, his adulation of Raygun and his disdain for “activists”– on the folks who were the real ‘victims,’ those of us who took to the streets, got gassed, kicked, beaten, stomped, spat upon, arrested and jailed…

for principle…

For a liberal Democrats, there’s plenty of anger towards, say, Pelosi and Reid and even Hillary Clinton but there’s unity derived from the appalling facts of the numerous failures of the GOP’s not just absolute but decidedly aggressive rule as well as their obstructionism post 2006 ( which the Democratic House leadership has all to frequently allowed to prevail).

But what of the “liberal conservatives” and the ‘independents’ who invariably vote with the Republicans?

The die-hard Republican who believed that the domination of the Executive, House, Senate, Supreme Court and the 4th Estate would result in a political, social and economic Nirvana have been more than severely disappointed.

The Independents, too, have been shocked that even their arguably modest desires have not just been ultimately ignored but trampled upon.

All of these are now facing an ‘existential’ challenge as almost all of their hard-held assumptions have been proven wrong.

Some of these, Independents especially, are voting simply for a change but the hardcore Republicans and conservatives are rising to their existential challenge by professing their convictions more adamantly than ever before and damn the facts and realities before them.
These are the people that McCain is forced count on for support and that Palin enthusiastically encourages because she is just like them.

It isn’t easy to suddenly reject ingrained beliefs especially when one is relatively isolated from challenges to one’s beliefs as so many in the midwest and south are system–indeed as many are encouraged to never change their beliefs.

McCain/Palin are stuck with “true beleivers” who have just been informed that th world is round, not flat and not only do they not want to hear it, they are ready to fight by whatever means necessary to assert their position and to fight all the harder for their position as the facts pile up against them. Fear is all they have left and fear is what they express now and the one thing they recognize as reality is that they are being outnumbered so fear is the only thing they have left to resist. Fear becomes anger, and anger becomes violence, first in rhetoric and when that fails to convince others or the self, violence is the next step.

Not only does McCain/Palin have nothing to offer even the most conservative Democrat or Independent, he and she also have nothing positive and practical to offer the hard core conservative and Republican–except anger about their current situation and fear of the future. Instead of facing reality the die-hards are digging-in for a last stand and these are the people who are most motivated to attend to the current McCain/Palin rallies.

Senator, at the onset of your campaign you vowed a clean campaign free of mudslinging saying that that is not what voters want. You then defended your campaign’s divisive rhetoric by blaming Senator Obama for declining your invitation to ten “town hall” meetings. You continue to speak of your ability to “reach across the aisle” yet you and Governor Palin continue to foment anger and threats of violence at campaign rallies that isolate Democrats and turns off those crucial Independent voters. Your surrogates are even instructing volunteers to emphasize innuendo that compares Obama to Bin Laden. Is this what being a Maverick means Senator and if you were to win this election does it worry you that you have burned so many bridges in your desire for power over what this Country so sorely needs right now?

Jane Fonda???

Jane frickin’ Fonda???

No, they can’t. My husband’s got a friend whom, every time we argue and I (figuratively) kick his ass, he starts sputtering Jane Fonda!!! (but did he enlist in the army in the early 70s? Noooooo! He was terrified of being drafted.)

It’s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Amen.

The Terrorist Barack Hussein Obama

What makes them different, and what has pumped up the Weimar-like rage at McCain-Palin rallies, is the violent escalation in rhetoric, especially (though not exclusively) by Palin.

We must not tolerate this hate. John mccain has sold his sould to the devil.

The ironic thing is that they get all huffy if we compare McCain to Bush.
____________

Right, or have the GALL to want Palin to do interviews that aren’t carefully scripted and rehearsed infomercials. The election is what, just about 3 weeks away, and STILL no Palin news conferences. They’re actually going to do it… run all the way to the election w/out ONCE going in front of the press.

And the NERVE of that Obama, playing the race card, ya know, by having the chutzpah to be black, or half-black, and run for office, and be good at it.

What… is… this… country coming to?
