		<description>Now, I know you are intoxicated, much the same way many of you were supporting GW Bush at 91% after 9/11. However, the team Obama is putting together is an Imperialist kleptocracy, run by the same people who embezzled $850 billion from YOUR pockets, allowed illegal wiretapping, want Oil drilling, and Preemptive Perpetual war....for starters.

You are waiting for Universal Health care, end to war, and jobs. well, first things first, and that is Obama pleasing his corporate, Zionist, and military masters. There should be ZERO left for We The People after these priorities.

yeah, yeah, I know, you&#039;re all &quot;progressives&quot; and &quot;Liberals&quot;, and &quot;Feel&quot; good about &quot;The Black Face in a High Place&quot;, but he appears to be about to be used by the same crew that Bush had in and advising him. How disingenuous to African-Americans and that you would play right along with this.

You all loved it when I came here and posted links abd facts bashing Bush and McCain, and even taking on Republican posters. But when the reality comes out, and facts are put in your face, you refuse to accept them, and from some who just curse, to some that post lame &quot;facts&quot;, you have done ZERO to prove people like myself and a handful of other independent thinkers incorrect. I have no further use for this site, and I don&#039;t want to spoil your party, but if I&#039;m wrong, and Obama goes against his corporate masters, and helps out common folk, then I will come back and apologize. But if I&#039;m correct, will the people here admit they were wrong?

I am expecting Obama in a few months to remove a mask and underneath will be Ronald Reagen.

&lt;em&gt;Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss - The Who - Won&#039;t Get Fooled Again&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Brain From Planet Arous Says

Well, look at the voter difference. Cities voted Obama. Rural voted McCain. People with Conscience voted third party. Whites are a minority in most large cities.
_________________________________________________________

Most of your post is rather fanciful stuff churned out by someone who&#039;s been spending too much time reading the wingnut sites, and I won&#039;t spend time rebutting most of it.

But I found your assertion of &quot;whites are a minority in most large cities&quot; to be worthy of some research.

I looked up the 20 largest cities in the United States (this would be &quot;cities&quot; -- as in everything within a city limits -- not metro statistical areas, which include suburbs).  And then I looked up the racial makeup of each of the 20.

Here&#039;s what I found.  In 8 of the 20 cities, white non-Hispanic people made up a clear majority (the highest being Phoenix, with 71.1%).  In 9 of the 20 cities, white non-Hispanics made up the largest minority (between 42% and 49.9% in all cases) with NO group being a majority.  In only three of the cities (Detroit, Memphis, and Baltimore), were white non-Hispanics a minority with another group being a majority (in all three cities, that majority was African-American).

So you were technically correct when you said that &quot;whites are a minority&quot; in most large cities, since that&#039;s the case in 12 out of the 20 largest.  But your statement is a bit misleading when you consider that in 17 out of 20 of these cities, whites do make up the largest racial group.

As to your somewhat pompous statement about people with a conscience voting third party, I would just like to say that my conscience is working just fine thankyouverymuch, and I proudly voted for Obama.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Oh well, he can always lie again about Russia and Georgia again and take on the Bear. Rahmie would love that.&lt;/i&gt;

Now I really have no idea what you are talking about.

I made my point about those supposedly homophobic African-Americans in California, and have no interest in trying to decipher your rants any further. 

Have a good day.</description>

1) *I* didn’t come up with the term “minorities” to describe any non-Caucasian, and 2) fact remains that, nationwide, non-Caucasians do not represent the majority of the population in the US, hence the term “minorities”. Los Angeles and Brooklyn are the exception to the rule. Duh.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, look at the voter difference. Cities voted Obama. Rural voted McCain. People with Conscience voted third party. Whites are a minority in most large cities.

Now I hear that Obama&#039;s dreams of going after the dead guy, Osama Bin Goldstein, may be thwarted because of financial concerns. Probably a good thing since nobody ever wins in Afghanistan from The Mongols to the British to The Russians.

		<description>barfly Says:
&lt;i&gt;To say it was because of the ineptness of the anti-8 forces, overlooks a huge reason: the “Christians” lied, repeatedly&lt;/i&gt;

I wouldn&#039;t go as far as to call Prop 8 opponents &quot;inept&quot;. I do believe they miscalculated two things: The willingness of the Christian churches to lie and distort, and the support they could get from the public at large. Our friend Brain From Planet Whatever is a good example: He keeps prattling about &quot;two oppressed groups&quot; when -obviously- African-Americans don&#039;t see it that way.</description>

Yes but I&#039;m protesting your ranting hyperbole today because it has become to offensive to listen to anymore.

You rant about many things, solidarity for one, although you voted for a 3rd party in 2000 and this year.  Grow up.  Just because your username has the word brain in it doesn&#039;t make it so.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;The Republic of Stupidity Says: I voted for Obama, w/ reservations. I simply found the prospect of a McCain/Palin presidency just too frightening. Does that make me an Obamatron?&lt;/em&gt;

Yes. 

Bob Barr took votes from McCain and Nader/McKinney took votes from Obama. Equal playing field.

Corporatists set up this election so even a kielbasa could run against McCain and win. McCain was simply nuts, and Palin a dunce.

What amazes me is how far will people go to compromise their values. Will you protest if Obama shows who his true Puppet Masters are? Wall Street, Surveillance, Perpetual War, Against Gay Marriage. Are these your &quot;Progressive&quot; values?</description>

		<description>Barfly - I do support same sex/gay marriage. Two consenting adults should have the right to marry regardless of their sex.

You completely misunderstood what I wrote.  Alot of people are homophobic in this country and I think it&#039;s wrong. 

Don&#039;t twist my words - read carefully!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Dr. Hussein Matt Says: you vile racist scumbag.&lt;/em&gt;

All right, I will take care of you first. I voted for Cynthia McKinney, Donald Payne, and Daryl Brooks in New Jersey. Now, Dr. Matt Proctologist, look them up in a search engine, and see their race. My wife voted the same except for Nader.

Bushites used to say, &quot;You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists&quot;/

		<description>&lt;em&gt;WASHINGTON — A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.

“It may sound a bit crazy and off base,&lt;/em&gt;

Let&#039;s see, top income tax rate of 33% = free market capitalism and democracy.

Top income tax rate of 39% = Marxist dictatorship.

Yeah, that may be a bit crazy and off base.</description>
