Hey cornhole chomper- Please explain what's the issue regarding your pics of Obama. I see a world leader and his wife showing respect for another culture. I guess you wouldn't?

The Liberals that President Obama installed into his Big Brother Regime
have taken us far beyond 'tax & spend' to the perversion of
'cop a feel' at Janet's airport grope stations.

I'm the kind that doesn't exist in your brain. A centrist! But of course to a right winger a Centrist appears as a Liberal. And a Liberal appears as a far left socialist.
Most Americans are ok with scanners before boarding an airplane. Only the wackjobs, who were ok with all of the partiot act btw, think it's some conspiracy.

Republicans whine and cry about underwear bomber:
Remember when Republicans portrayed themselves as tough guys? The party of John Wayne? Hard to picture now, right? Ever since an Islamic fundamentalist tried to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, Republicans have, as Steve Benen eloquently put it, engaged in a "collective display of pants-wetting."
The naked politicization of the attempted attack has been both shameful and hypocritical. (Can you imagine what these same Republicans, from Dick Cheney to members of Congress, would have done if Democrats criticized George W. Bush and sent out fund-raising mailers after 9/11?) As angry as the GOP response should make any American, what is even more important is that the Republicans are making us less safe.
It's as if the Republicans don't understand why fanatics use terrorism (something Bush definitely didn't seem to get after 9/11). The Islamic fundamentalists who wish us harm do not have the firepower to prevail against the power of the United States. But what they can do is try and unsettle us, so that we will hurt ourselves. When al-Qaeda leadership put together the 9/11 plot, there was no danger that the 19 terrorists who hijacked the four planes would defeat the United States military. But by perpetuating the tragedy, the goal was to unsettle Americans and the U.S. government, so that we would ourselves do the damage al-Qaeda didn't have the power to inflict.\hp

Like you! Or..how could that "be you" since you are an imaginary republican... the ones without names.
So is just about every Republican on this forum.
And just about every Democrat.
Stand up for yourselves for a change.
Be accountable.

You Liberals are motivated by your emotions rather than reason and viewing
reality through such a whimsical filter makes you prone to violence.

I'm not a Republican.
Reading comprehension obviously wasn't your strong subject.

Forget spending, the single largest contributor to the deficit is TAX CUTS.

George W. Bush's former speechwriter, David Frum, on the passage of the health care reform bill:
“Conservatives and Republicans today suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s.
It’s hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the disaster. Conservatives may cheer themselves that they’ll compensate for today’s expected vote with a big win in the November 2010 elections.
No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the “doughnut hole” and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents’ insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there – would President Obama sign such a repeal?
We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat.
So today’s defeat for free-market economics and Republican values is a huge win for the conservative entertainment industry. Their listeners and viewers will now be even more enraged, even more frustrated, even more disappointed in everybody except the responsibility-free talkers on television and radio. For them, it’s mission accomplished. For the cause they purport to represent, it’s Waterloo all right: ours. [.....]

Europeans are starting to realize that their governments are too big. Will Americans catch on next?
“Throw your Euro stereotypes out the window: Last weekend, a Greek government that has cut public-sector pay and lowered pensions won a clear victory in local elections. Despite strikes and violence, despite the fact that Greece’s debt is still growing and more cuts are coming, there will be a Socialist mayor of Athens for the first time in 24 years. (And, yes, in Greece, the Socialists favor budget cuts, and the conservatives oppose them.) Nor are the Greeks alone. Last month, voters re-elected a Latvian government that cut public-sector workers’ pay by 50 percent. The British government coalition, which is also trying to eliminate benefits and cut spending, remains strangely popular, too. Although—contrary to my previous observation—London witnessed its first Continental-style, anti-austerity riot last week, there wasn’t much general enthusiasm for the protesters. Some of their leaders wound up denouncing the riots, and they haven’t hurt the government’s poll numbers yet, either.”

The last -- the last -- thing the lib Dems want to do is cut government because gee, guess which unions send 98% of their dues to the Dems? The public employees' unions. The Dems get them the bennies, and the unions pay their election bills. Corrupt as hell.

ROGER KIMBALL: WHO GOVERNS?
“What do people want government to do? Only 21 percent of those polled believe that our government governs with the consent of the governed. They do not want to be be governed by Democrats. They do not want to be governed by Republicans, either. They want a government that, by adhering to the principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility, will continue that great experiment that Washington, Madison, and Hamilton inaugurated in the late 18th century: a government that managed the great trick of being an exercise in self-government.”

TIMOTHY DALRYMPLE: The Wages Of Spin: How Obama Lost America.
“The Obama camp ran their campaign in such a way that they won the election by dooming the presidency. Of course there is nothing new in politicians promising more than they can deliver. But Obama committed this political sin on such a gargantuan scale that it ought to be named after him. . . . Obama’s actions in the Presidency have not matched the costume he wore in the campaign. Americans will not trust him, will not believe him, will not be persuaded by him, until they believe he’s no longer performing. Obama doesn’t need more theatrics. He needs to show America he’s not an actor.”
