Election Over, Ayers, Wright & Farrakhan Emerge

"Obsms bought the presidency"

With money provided by the clear majority of voters that elected him. Tidy, that.

"Stealing your freedoms"

My freedoms have already been trampled by the Bush administration's high-handed disregard for Constitutional rights and protections in the name of "national security". Repression is a trademark of social conservatism.

JBC: "Obama is hardly a black man."

Well, the voters have now had their say, and they've collectively decided that what your nonsensical posts about the president-elect aren't worth the bandwidth they consume.

Carlos: "Ayers, Wright, and Farrakhan - evil men, all three."

And an ignorant man, you are.

Obsms bought the presidency, and had his left wing media freinds touting him at every turn. Well,,,,these people will get what they want Obama bought the Presidency but he will govern with stealth.. Stealing your freedoms, your guns, your right to free speach, your right to free elections etc.etc. Look at Venezuela and weep.

Obama is hardly a black man. He is only 6% black first of all. He never lived in poverty--he had a much more privileged upbringing than most people I know and I came from an upper middle class suburb! He knows very little about black culture even though he has tried to insinuate himself into some of these radical groups like Black Nationalists, etc. I have more black culture in me! And his ancestors were NEVER slaves of the U.S. as some people are trying to imply. His father came over here from Kenya, protested a bit and sired a son, and then left. However, my people were enslaved by folks from his part of the world--the Moors overtook Spain. So, I don't want want to hear the stupid lies and propaganda about this man. He is an elitest and knows nothing of economics.

Blue--

Laugh all you want, but it is true. Conservatives give much more to charity and otehr causes than liberals do. Liberals only vote for higher taxes so they can force people to give up their hard earned money to pay for fat bureaucracies that are supposed to help others. Most of that money goes to the bureaucrats though--very little of it goes to the people it is supposed to help.

“It’s all guilt by association,” Ayers said. “They made me into a cartoon character -- they threw me up onstage just to pummel me."

Yeah. Just to pummel you, Bill.

And no doubt Bush made you trample that US flag on 9-11-2001.

re: "but in what context, exactly, would the phrase "God damn America" be appropriate?"

you seem to think that America can't make a mistake or errors in judgment and policy..... it has, it does, and it will again...: the question is will we ever learn from the past and wise up.

Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse
KKK
guantanamo prison
starting a war by mistake: ie. Iraq
oppression of minorities

"Maybe I'm missing the intellectual subtleties, but in what context, exactly, would the phrase "God damn America" be appropriate?"

Discussing slavery perhaps? Maybe Jim Crow?

"WOW!!! There are frightening people out there! The U.S. did NOT pull out of Vietnam because of what people like Ayers did or said. You guys are rewriting history!!! You forget that LBJ (a Democrat) kept the war going because he had financial interests in keeping it lingering. His business was in tractors and other heavy equipment that were sent over there and paid for by our tax dollars."

LBJ was out in 68. The war went on for 5 more years.

"Nixon was the one who pulled us out--after we had been stuck in that quagmire by two Democrat Presidents"

ROFLMAO.

Nixon saw the last big build up, the expansion of the war into Cambodia and eventually pulled combat forces out 5 years after he was elected but this is the Democrats fault?

The lesson for the day? Freepers lie.

Billy - Bush lost, not McCain and Palin.

How is that? Bush hasn't run since 2004. McCain and Palin simply lost, contrary to Palin's not too articulate spin.

"Palin is correct. Bush "lost", not McCain and Palin."

Aaaahh the delusional freepers.

Bush lost. McCain lost. Palin lost big time.

Republicans lost on election day.

"President-elect Barack Obama comes away from Election Day with a 68% "favorable rating," the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows. That's up from 62% who said they think favorably of him just before the election."

.
Obama "lucked" his way to the presidency. His Wright baggage didn't hit the news until after the first nine primaries. After that it was nip and tuck and Clinton almost won anyway. In the general election McCain and Palin had the Bush millstone around their necks. With the broken economy and the Iraq war, the only word many voters needed to hear was "change". and Obama owned that word. Obama owes his win to Bush the idiot.

.

Billw . . . I would say Bush and the Republicans lost; the Republicans chose Bush as leader.

And McCain and Palin lost as well .. . unfortunately, McCain's campaign chose to use the same fear and smear, Swift boat, Rove tactics Bush and Cheney used . . . . and the public hated it.

pefros:
Palin is correct. Bush "lost", not McCain and Palin.

Doug @ 1:39 pm, It's clearly not a an "illusion" that behavior and actual practices lag significantly behind decades old legislation. I'm not poor or a person of color, but I can tell you that discrimination and its impacts are clearly observable. And it certainly still effects women, the disabled and aged, too. The illusionary is to deny that socio-economic obstacles, discriminatory practices and racism no longer exist.

Here's what Sarah Palin had to say about why the Republicans lost the election:

Question: Why do you think your campaign lost?

Palin: I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, HOW DID WE RUN UP A 10 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT IN A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?

janine:
re" They don't see that conservatives are the most generous and giving people.

thanks for that, reading that started the best laughing fit I've had in a while !!

Janine
re: The lefties are attacking conservatives...."

not really.....
Republicans are doing a great job eviscerating themselves....... Dems only need to get out of the way and watch the conservative carnage...

I looked at Mike's video and it is just a bunch of radical commie propaganda that has no basis in reality. The U.S. has created more prosperity and freedom in the world than anyone else. The poorest of the poor in the U.S. would be considered filthy rich in most other countries--especially when compared to the Communist regimes and brutal dictatorships of the Southern Hemisphere. Still, people want the government to "give" them everything even though, in the long run, they will end up with much less than when they started. Yes, we want MUCH SMALLER government. Government is the problem--NOT the solution. Economics have proved time and again...when you do not punish the achievers and let them have the freedom to earn what they are worth, then EVERYBODY prospers. Sadly, most of the people I see here have limited educations--they have been indoctrinated to believe the pablum of the left. They are looking for what is "fair" in an unfair world. They don't see that conservatives are the most generous and giving people. The left instead look for all that is negative and have a guilt and self-loathing. So instead of appreciating what this country has given them and allowing people to voluntarily give of themselves, they want to steal what others have rightfully earned and give it to people who won't or can't earn it themselves. If you look at the top 10 poorest cities in the U.S., you will see that they have been run by solely by Democrats for long periods of time. Democrat policies do NOTHING to help the poor--they perpetuate poverty.
