    Tag team, I love it Go Get’em, but do be kind for this misguided terorist sympathiser and a hater of America as he is our very own 9/12 pet rock.

    p.s. don't forget to get you very own "comradeobama" VooDoo doll from the VooDoo doll emporium, not only do they have the latest "comradeobama" VooDoo doll, they also have the pastyface Bill Mahr, Barney Frank, Alec Baldwin… and many many more VooDoo dolls too

    So which is it, you moronic little creep? Do you believe in Catholicism or do you believe there is no God? You can't have it both ways. And though the Romans "ATTEMPTED" to execute Jesus, He went to that cross willingly, for your sorry butt as much as for anyone else. He (Jesus) loves everyone. Your boy Barry only loves himself and those that can do something for him. Again I say, your ignorance is showing! Maybe you should quit smoking so much for a while, your pea-brain is loosing way too many cells.

  3. Well then thank you for being a gritty patriot.we need more level headed american who can see past what the mushroom farmers are planting in you no

    Your quite right I was going off memory on the quote and yes Sci Fi does follow themes about fear of a totalitarian style of government. Another great quote that is appropriat this day and age is from Independence Day.

    "May our Children forgive us"

  7. We can clearly see that Obama is a LIAR!!!!

  8. heloise says:

    Transparency is the one Obama promise I believe. When I see him on tv and listens to his words, I can see right through him.

  9. Miami_Bob says:

    Ok you say vote them out of office in 2010 – 2012. Question, what do you do if the new republicans running for office in your district are just as bad as the phonies that are presently in power??? Apparently the liberal Democrats seem to have a lock on staying in power with the free lunch voters. The reality is, its still only a two party system and I find that some of the up and coming republican are too liberal to consevative standards.. They would say anything you want to hear to get elected and become part of the Washington power game .. Were are the thru conservative candidates when we need them the most before its too late ????

    Mr.President i call on you to stand behind your word. my grandfather taugth me that a man's word defines the man. promising that there will be transparency from your administration for america and then barring the press from a press award ceremony, simply put sir is no transparency!

  11. pslwd says:

    Obama does remind me of a communist regime. It started when he was campaigning and he had kids singing praise songs for him. Now, he wants to control everything – banks, health care, environment, etc. He is against secret ballots.

    • LANNS says:

      because there is less transparancy than ever before in our government …….we must stand up and let it be known the government works for us not us for them … otherwise get used to the government passing laws in the dark that slowly but surely take away our freedom.

  12. ForgottenGuy says:

    Your answer is in the bill that will require all doctors to perform abortions even if they are morally against them.

    "Required to Volunteer", doesn't quite sound right, hey?

  13. ForgottenGuy says:

    The whole point of Political Correctness is the belief that if you control the language you control everything. George Carlin talked about this. He pointed out the progression from "Shell Shock" to "post Traumatic Stress Disorder" and how that changed our view of it. In WWI, pretty much only soldiers would get "Shell Shock" whereas today you can get PTSD from being served yellow mustard instead of Grey Poupon.

    I never served, but I try to honor everyone who did by having the determiniation to keep this a country worthy of their service and sacrifice.

    oops! Sorry for the typo. Long day. I meant the uninformed voter:)

    Connecticut legislators are considering a resolution that expresses regret for slavery and other racist policies that once existed across the state.

    Are they serious! In this economy this is what they spend thier time on. I am 80% native american. No apology for stealing my land.

    The uniformed voter. The most dangerous force in America.

    (It wouldn't let me reply, so…) It's dead on how I felt today.

      My inner sci-fi obsessive compulsive geek must correct you: "So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause." When the chancellor took over. Sorry, I can't help myself.

      Sci Fi fans here will understand. :)

      Actually, a lot of Sci Fi follows themes about fear of a totalitaian style of government. From the "Clone Wars":

      Sorry, had to flex the inner geek!

    We should be terrified and do everything to stop this bill. We have plenty of places youth can volunteer and we don't need the federal government telling us what to do.

    • ForgottenGuy says:

      You have to think like a progressive. They believe that we are the proverbial unwashed masses and need to be guided to do the right things.

      If you went line by line through a list of liberal programs you will find that there is, or was, a free market alternative that worked better. But, the problem was, the government wasn't controlling them, therefore it was a failure and had to be controlled centrally.

      It is all about power and control with progressives.

      • KSand837 says:

        Let me see if I have this straight: The government wants control over our money but isn't accountable for theirs, wants control over our children and wants to bankrupt them as well. I would bet that these so called organizations to serve will be hand picked by the left. What if you are required to volunteer with an organization that you do not agree with?

  21. ccs111 says:

    Transparency is probably something we will never get unless we vote everyone out (except maybe Ron Paul) and start all over. This has been the way of Washington for a long time. Even those who want to change Washington end up themselves, changed by Washington.

    Some food for thought; Where else could you barely show up for work for 2 years, put all your time and effort into a new job, yet still get paid? Where else could you be a failure in your last job, yet still get promoted? Where else could you be a total failure yet still get a raise. Were else could you vote for your own policy even when it is the exact opposite of the policy of your employer. Where else could you be a tax cheat yet be in charge of the IRS? Where else could you write the tax code yet claim the tax code is too confusing when caught cheating on your taxes?

    I could go on, but I feel my bloodpressure rising.

    It'd never happen. Liberals don't have to live by the laws they pass.

    I wonder if he's gonna call them "concentration camps" too? Starting to look like we're not too far off from Hitler's germany, I wonder if I am the only one making that connection? Perhaps I am jumping the gun on connecting the dots. Seems to me though, in the history I've learned about Hitler, that people though he would be a great savior to their country too (when he began he was quite the elegant "silver tounged" speaker I have heard).

  26. Aspade says:

    I am starting to think none of the government republican or democrat cares how we feel. If they cared they wouldn't say and do half of the things they do. The facts are there for all of us to see. With the majority of the American people either apathetic or neutered they have no "real" opposition and thus no reason to give you anything more than empty promises and zealous speeches to please your ears. Roman empire anyone? Amuse the masses.

  27. woemcat says:

    wear the label proudly. i voted for bush (both times he ran and in '04 went to a liberal seminary) and was branded a hater, intolerant, war-monger (that i was ungodly because i supported the iraq war), etc. professors graded me down because i wouldn't cow-tow to their liberal propoganda. never, never, never compromise your values, even if they call you names. at the same time, stand up for what's right. obama will do some things right. bush did some things wrong. however, we do need to stand up and keep our officials to task. if this means voting people out, so be it. i'm sorry people are calling you a hater. many of these people equate disagreement with hate–"if you don't agree with me, then you're a hater." wrong! hopefully some will be convinced, but many choose to stay ignorant (it's easier to be ignorant than to truly act).
