Excellent post.
Well DONE! Doesnt get any easier to understand than that. Especially the "can't" paragraph. I have long believed that the democratic party was the party of the "glass is half empty" philosophy.
Awesome.
But that those who need to read this the most would come over here and do so. Excellent critique of "He whose middle name shall not be mentioned".
*slow clap*
A most excellent tome. I must agree with friend Troy about the "Can't" paragraph. A flash of brilliance brother.

Outstanding, well-written closing argument. Here's hoping the jury of American voters finds it persuasive...
As a African-American conservative who is RABIDLY against Obama, I have to say that this is the best screed I have read on the Net that describes EXACTLY why I will not for the Marxist Messiah!
Well done!
Screw 'em all. Buy more ammo.
This is in God's hands. There is a darkness that has fallen over our country. People have lost their moral compass. Once that is gone, then our direction goes with it; our motivation for personal actions and accountibility is now this:
Anything will suffice at any time depending on how we feel.
Reason has been replaced by emotion. "I should" has been replaced by "I want" or "I feel". Objectivity cannot be realized because it needs an external standard by which all else is measured.
Subjectivity rules because it is all personal now, it all begins and ends with "me" - personal feelings, personal impressions, personal opinions.
Once "me" takes the throne, there is room for no one else.
May God have mercy on us all.
BiW, you is a poopoo head!!!
Excellent. Well said.
I appreciate the part about the Civil War dead (and maimed) and how reparations have been paid. Full stop. Thanks for saying what I've been saying for quite some time.
Now not only is Obama the 'you can't' presidential nominee, but he is also the candidate who views America as fundamentally flawed, and flawed from the get-go by our flawed Constitution. Obama is a downer when it comes to his home and supposed native land. Yes, we have our faults, but to paint us in the gloom and doom language this 'gifted' speaker does is what makes me loathe the guy. Obama's a thinker, not a doer, and his thinking is absolute rubbish. Unfortunately, being a Harvard lawyer doesn't make you smart, and him living in the cacoon of black victimhood, Chicago-style, that he deliberately sought out, no objective person ever told him how stupid his ideas are.
Obama is what an affirmative action presidential candidate looks like.
Think I'll set up my old deer stand over off Main and Elm St, in downtown Dallas. Maybe even put out the feeder.
I enjoyed reading your post even though your thinking is skewed, as you write like an intelligent person. It's too bad your religious fundamentalism clouds your judgement.
Really Greg? I don't suppose you'd care to explain how "religious fundamentalism" clouds my judgement? I'm just curious since you seem to comment like someone who has an opinion, and will take unsubstantiated swipes based upon it. Please. Enlighten me, as you seem to find my thinking skewed.
Well,
I am an independent and I think that the Republican party has lost it's vision and it's leadership has swung very far to the extremist right. I've seen eight disastrous years and do not wish to take my chances by continuing to head in the same direction. I've researched the numbers, read the plans and every other scrap of factual information I could find and have haunted politifact.org and factcheck.org, as well as watching the primaries, the political talk shows and the debates. One important issue you might like to look into is what happens historically to a country with too large of a gap between the middle class and the very wealthy. Just in case you think this is a Democratic point of view, both of the candidates have stated on their websites, that they intend to close this gap. As for who has done the best job with the economic growth and lowering of the deficit, you might want to pull the numbers from the historical charts on the deficit, Wikipedia has them and of course you can pull them from the government sites like Whitehouse.gov as well. Anyway, under the Democrats the deficit has always reduced, under the Republicans it has almost always risen astronomically. These are straight statistics, not numbers generated by playing about with the information, until it fits an agenda. And as for frightening prospects, Sarah Palin could well end up in the seat of president, now that would be terrifying on so many levels. Her record speaks for itself, from ethics, to denying supporting the "Bridge to Nowhere," to a pipeline that hasn't yet been built being her greatest accomplishment and her record on animal rights is abysmal. I was hoping that McCain would have chosen someone with a great deal more depth, then I'd have felt a lot better about his run for the White House. As I mentioned, I'm an independent, I do a great deal of research and I have an incredible knack for knowing what might be coming down the road. I think you are not looking at the picture clearly and I dearly hope this country votes for Obama and we have the chance to prove you incorrect in your assessment. Dorothy
Excellent. Simply amazing. It's witty, precise, and true (guess the liberals won't like it :P). You've eloquently and objectively put into words everything I feel when confronted with an Obambi drone. It's refreshing to hear someone confront issues like blacks in America and Vietnam -- I've been saying the same things for quite some time (unsuccessfully, but no surprise there).
If only the ones that need to hear this message would read it, and be humble enough to listen before jumping all over you like reeducated rabbits.
"Her record on animal rights is abysmal?" Animal rights? Seriously? People are thinking about animal rights in a time when we're losing our homes and jobs because Barney Frank, et al crawled into bed with Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac?
Holy cow. The liberals are more delusional than I thought.
Gee, Dorothy, thanks for the astroturf. I guess I can say that I hit the big time, now that I have been targeted by someone complaining about how far right the Republican Party has swung (here's clue I'll offer up for free: It has spent too long in the center, and is not far right enough), complaining about a disappearing middle class (they have been disappearing only in the sense that the upper class has grown in the exact same proportion), and shilling the tired "Sarah Palin is a disaster" meme (Sarah Palin is a threat to the Democrats because she shatters their carefully cultivated perception that government is too difficult and complex for the average person to meaningfully participate on the national level, and that instead we need to have a ruling class which has trained its entire life to lead.), and is willing to trot out any silly excuse in an attempt to make her appear less capable or experienced then the first-term Senator who wrote two memoirs, organized communities, and and was on the Harvard Law Review, apparently without publishing a single article. Thanks for sharing.
You got astroturfed! I'm jealous!
Astroturf hurts my elbows.
Yes, animal rights are important and a measure of our humanity.
And we won
So apparently there are a great number of us who feel Sarah would have been a great liability.
Anonymous 1: You really have no idea that wildlife is just that: wild. A hungry tiger, or a pack of wolves couldn't give a tinker's damn about your "measure of humanity", other than to the extent it will satisify their hunger. As for herds of animals like moose and caribou, hunting them helps to maintain healthy amounts of their numbers and reduce the likelihood that their numbers will suffer the fates of rampant disease and starvation due to overpopulation, and really, there is nothing more humane that I can think of than that. Don't worry yourself that it doesn't fit your impaired world view; the rest of us will continue to make the world work and keep navel-gazers like yourselves safe from your own rampant stupidity just the same.
Anonymous 2: Keep believing what the media tells you. When you realize that you are starving, naked, in the dark due to your Dear Leader's tax, energy, and environmental policies, keep in mind that you will not be welcome at my campfire, nor may you share in the game that me and mine are dining on.
Interesting,
I've spent a lifetime with wild and domestic animals and I consider them as much a part of the earth as we are. Wildlife finds a good balance, when not hunted or interfered with... lots of studies to support this, if you want to do a bit of research. And I have no problem with someone hunting to feed themselves, just the people, who hunt for the pleasure of killing or who do it in a very inhumane way, such as the aerial hunting. In case you are on the religious right, let me say, God does not need guns to do his work for him. As for being hunted by a wild animal, yes it happens, that is their nature and does not justify cruelty. If I had a choice between kill or be killed, I would save my own life, but if I had a choice between enjoying the wild plus having a balanced ecosystem or living in a world where the animals were considered disposable commodities, I'd choose the former. Well, this is the last of the messages from me, hopefully we'll all be happy with the new president. Even if you don't agree with him, I'd hope that you want him to do a good job for the sake of the country. Who knows what will happen, but I am wishing us all luck. I'm off this list now, because I don't want to keep up with the commentary, but I wish you all well. Dorothy
