Did anyone catch the Presidents body language as he walked from the helicopter to the Whitehouse this morning? Looked like he had
more on his mind than usual.

"Barack Obama was not born in this country.
He was created in a petri dish in Nazi Germany.
Raised in Communist Russia.
Radicalized by Al-Qaida.
To infiltrate this county and run for President.
So he could pass health care reform and kill us all with death panels..."
Not only that, he has a passport, knows the lone gunman on the grassy knoll in Area 51, and wants to impose the metric system as part of his un-American new world order.
It was on Faux News - it must be true.

That's getting into the spirit of political debate
radical and Mighty hiker!
Politics: is a strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage..
theft? Not exactly.
But you girls know that Van Jones and the President have been
talking.
As for the body language; They don't play the sound of the shouted questions as the President walks across the grass, but he looked away as if wanting to hide from some of them.

"Why not quit now and show some class? There is nothing left to say about what cretins everybody here is."
I strongly doubt that any person who regularly participates in any of the ST politiKrap® threads has ever completely jumped ship from one ideology to another- that much is probably true. Probably the closest I can think of is Lynne, but she barely dabbled here, and her leap from the GOP did not seem to 'land' anywhere (yet).
That said, I have learned a number of things from others who posted in this thread, esp. those who write clearly and rationally, regardless of their ideology. For that, I am appreciative of this thread (and others like it).
Now, if we could only figger out a way to muzzle that suap idjut...

Good column!
............................................
""O come, Hassan," says Amal. "Let us chant for the homeland and use our pens to write, 'Our beloved Saddam.'"
"I come, Amal," says Hassan. "I come in a hurry to chant, 'O, Saddam, our courageous president, we are all soldiers defending the borders for you, carrying weapons and marching to success.'"
Pathetic, right?
On Friday, Aug. 28, the principal of Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington, Utah – in the name of "education" – showed her young charges the "Obama Pledge" video released at the time of the inauguration, in which Ashton Kutcher and various other big-time celebrities, two or three of whom you might even recognize, "pledge to be a servant to our president and to all mankind because together we can, together we are, and together we will be the change that we seek."
Altogether now! Let us chant for mankind and use our pens to write, "O beloved Obama, our courageous president, we are all servants defending the hope for you and marching to change."
And, unlike Saddam's Iraq, we don't have the mitigating condition of being a one-man psycho state invented by the British Colonial Office after lunch on a wet afternoon in 1922.
Any self-respecting schoolkid, enjoined by his principal to be a "servant" to the head of state, would reply, "Get lost, creep." And, if they still taught history in American schools, he'd add, "Oh, and by the way, that question was settled in 1776."
.....................................
The president is not our ruler but our representative, a citizen-executive drawn from the people. It is unbecoming to a self-governing republic to require schoolchildren to (to cite another test question) select the three most important words in the president's speech.
But, if we have to trudge down this grim road, go on, kid, I dare you: "That's all, folks!"
Oh, wait. You have to rank the three most important words in order:
1) Try
2) Something
3) Else

Only for crazies is the speech somehow threatening.
Only among the conservative fringe, which for some reason seems to have a disproportionate amount of influence, is a PRESIDENT's SPEECH ABOUT EDUCATION a cause of concern.
You rabid righties are f*#king nuts. Period. And underlying all this...this inane fear of our supposedly foreign born, Muslim, socialist, fascist, white-hating president, is one thing:
RACISM.
Oh they're usually too PC to say that's what troubles them. But that's exactly what it is. The darkening of America scares the sh#t out of many whites.
We're seeing racism in action, and we need to call it for what it is.

misplaying the race card like that has no power dirtbag.
We've got Van Jones, Green Jobs Czar, on tape, race baiting. Yuck!
That's like the royal flush of race cards and he dealt it against himself. And by association the President.

Caribou Barbie Cuts and Runs, Costs Taxpayers
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Early estimates put the cost of Sarah Palin's midterm resignation as Alaska governor at a minimum of $40,000, not including a special legislative session partly linked to her departure.
Anyone who voted to put Barbie one heartbeat away from
being Commander In Chief is a MORON.

From Powerlineblog today:
When Obama administration green jobs commissar Van Jones signed on to the Truther statement in 2004, he was concerned that 9/11 might have been an inside job perpetrated by the Bush administration. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, on September 13, 2001, however, Jones had a different explanation. On September 13, 2001, Jones said: "The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City. The US cannot bomb its way out of this one. Safety at home requires justice abroad."
That's what Jones had to say while the ruins still smoldered and bodies had yet to be removed from the rubble. Consistent with Paul Mirengoff's comments below, before Jones went Truther, Jones's first take on 9/11 was on all fours with Jeremiah Wright's. What a crew.
JOHN adds: Oh-oh. Jones could be in trouble now. Maybe Obama will fire him for drawing a connection between 9/11 and Iraq.
What does this tell us? Barack Obama is as radically idiotic as Van Jones.

Radical -- "Further more, who cares about technology to save your dying ass a few more years if the system didn't give you the preventive care you should have had to be healthy in the first place."
Yes there it is in all it's glory.
The stupid system in it's place as of now has it all backwards. They wait till you're all fuked up before they do anything.

What kind of "preventative care" prevents a broken femur?
Ankle?
Genetic predisposition?
Degenerative overuse injuries?
So,
Stop wearing your body out and go sit in the corner till the nice lady calls you number.

Or when your insuror decides to run out on you.
And not honor their contract with you, for which you were paying your hard earned dollars.
PS:
The insurance companies have no idea who it is for whom you vote.
Got that?
They don't run out on socialists faster than they run out on patriots.
They run out when they don't get to pay your dollars out as executive bonuses or for badly needed massages.
Then you are left looking at a bill of $100,000 for having that bunion removed.

Not that these simple facts will have any influence on you kool-aid guzzling, oxycontin-mainlining Repubs. All that Ativan really f*cks up your perception of reality, doesn't it?

Get with it, we're talking health not broken bones.
The medical world is ultra advanced in that art of fixing broken bones and doing an excellent job there.
