"And another brilliant 10 word post, painfully pecked out by Philo, using his nose.
We really appreciate that he has so little to say. Any more from him would put us back to sleep".
"Check your punctuation, Genius. Did you flunk English altogether? Or were you just still out in the fields picking vegetables while the rest of us went to school?
One thing about the left, they never apologize for their lack of education.
Or content."
REALLY Rox. You are going to make a comment on a comma after you posted this piece of literary spittle.."ESCAPE THIS self imposed prison of intellect and help me show them what idiots the left IS."

And Rox aren't you the same tosser that ranted on ad nauseam about the failed rescue attempt on Aconcagua. You went on and on babbling inanities about the rescuers leaving him to die. You thought they should have picked him up and carried him on their backs at altitude and in a storm.

THIS IS SO TRUE.
Paul A. Rahe holds the Charles O. Lee and Louise K. Lee Chair in the Western Heritage at Hillsdale College. Professor Rahe argues that Obama has a peculiar animus against friends of the United States, if not the United States itself:
"In the Week in Review section of this past Sunday's New York Times, Robert Gates argues that the plan announced last Thursday by President Obama for shifting American policy regarding the defense of Europe against nuclear missile attacks will leave Europe in general and Eastern Europe in particular safer. I do not doubt that he believes what he says.
I do not, however, find this consoling. Back in June, in two separate posts on Power Line -- here and here -- I drew attention to our current president's propensity for communicating different messages to different audiences by means of gestures of one kind or another. Here is what I then wrote:
Barack Obama has a history of belittling his adversaries in just such a fashion. In April, 2008, he was caught on tape during a debate with Hillary Clinton, rubbing his hand across the right side of his face and extending his middle finger in an obscene gesture that many in the audience could see it but she could not, and when this provoked laughter on the part of his supporters he responded with a knowing smile. Later, after accepting his party's nomination, he did precisely the same thing during a debate with John McCain; and, after Sarah Palin remarked at the Republican National Convention that the only difference between a pit bull and a soccer mom was lipstick, he observed at a rally that a pig with lipstick is still a pig. Again, many in the audience caught the dig and they, too, were rewarded with a knowing smile.
Obama is, in fact, a master of the insulting gesture. There is no other construction that one can put on his conduct towards Gordon Brown when the British prime minister paid him a visit shortly after his inauguration. First, in an ostentatious manner, he returned to the British embassy a bust of Winston Churchill that had been loaned to his predecessor. Then, when Brown presented him with a pen made from timber used in a British ship once involved in putting down the slave trade, he gave him in return a stack of movies on DVD which could not be played on machines sold in Europe.
Were Obama a yokel, one might be able to explain this away. But a yokel he is not, and there are State Department protocol officers who are highly sensitive to the proprieties. It is no accident that, at about the same time, the White House press secretary intimated in the presence of members of the British press that there was no special relationship between the United States and Great Britain. Obama's gesture was a calculated insult -- meant to be understood only by those to whom it was directed.
If we are to comprehend what is going on, we must pay close attention not only to what Obama says but to what he conveys in other ways. His tone is nearly always moderate but what he hints at and what he intimates by way of body language often convey the opposite Witness his warm embrace of Hugo Chavez. Behind the thin veneer of politeness, there is, I suspect, something ugly lurking. In the first of the autobiographies that he claims to have written, Barack Obama frequently speaks of himself as being in the grips of rage. We would do well to take him at his word. If we are to stop him from doing great damage to this country and to our friends and allies, we must take every opportunity that comes our way to unmask the man.
We now know -- thanks to events in the Honduras -- the meaning of Obama's gesture with respect to the Venezuelan dictator, and I would suggest that we must regard in a similar light the timing of Obama's announcement of his administration's shift in policy regarding missile-defense in Europe. For it can hardly be an accident that he chose the seventieth anniversary of the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland as the occasion.
We must keep in mind the fact that Obama is not a yokel and that the State Department is there to prevent an ill-informed president from unnecessarily stepping on toes. What happened last Thursday was a deliberate gesture. It was aimed at our allies in eastern Europe and at Russia, and it was recognized as such in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Russia. Vladimir Putin spoke of Obama's decision as a courageous act. Our friends in eastern Europe would not have used that adjective. A signal has been given, and they know the meaning.
We are living in a dangerous time. It seems highly unlikely that Barack Obama will get his way in domestic affairs. The Democrats may control Congress, but they now fear a rout in 2010, and they are likely to tread with caution from now on. In foreign affairs, however, presidents have a relatively free hand, and this president has ample time to do damage to a country that, there is reason to suspect, he deeply hates."
OBAMA -- A TRUE ENEMY OF AMERICA, SITTING AT ITS HELM. GOD HELP US.

The Republican party lost its ass in the last two elections because it became just like the Dem party -- and the base stayed home. The base of the GOP is absolutely sickened by the way the party has become just Dem-party-lite.
But luckily for the GOP -- independents that voted for Obama are leaving his ass on the side of the road. Hope and Change -- pleeeeeeease. Obama is such a hack, and an obviously dishonest America-hating one at that.
Hey guys -- we LOOOOOVe the way Obama is now basically saying, after 20 years of working for them, "ACORN who?" -- classic Obama.
PS -- I wonder why Obama had sealed all his important documents -- like his original birth certificate, his SAT score, his LSAT score, his college classes and grades? Gee - do ya think that maybe our president got a little affirmative action? Me thinkest so since, if he did not, he would be trotting out his high scores to prove that he was not admitted due to his race.
Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review -- and wrote not one single article. Amazing.
Obama is like Clinton, only without the brains.

Oh -- did you guys see this quote from black governor of New York Paterson re Obama?
"If you look at it from their perspective, they haven’t exactly been able to govern in the first year of their administration in the way that other administrations have, where you would have, theoretically, a period in which the new administration is allowed to pass the needed pieces of legislation."
Now, since any criticism of Obama is racist, this means that this black governor is a racist. How does that work?

You have to love liberals. They are so arrogant and full of themselves, their first reaction to an opposing point of view is to cry "racist!" We conservatives just laugh at it now. Oh no --the liberal called me a racist because I want tax cuts, or I am opposed to ILLEGAL immigration, or because I love my country, or because I am opposed to judging people by their skin color, etc. etc. etc.
The modern liberal is truly pathetic.

For the first time, independent voters—who delivered Mr. Obama the White House and Democrats control of the Congress—disapprove of the job he is doing, 46% to the 41% who approve. In July, 49% of independents approved of the president, against 38% who disapproved.
New doubts about the president have coincided with new hopes for Republicans, who appeared flattened by the election nearly a year ago.
As the 2010 election cycle heats up, independent voters now favor Republican control of Congress by four percentage points.

Where were all those so concerned, non racist, fiscally conservative, patriotic, scared shitless of big government,
Tea Party pussies........
When the Republicans greatly expanded the size of government,
and spend like drunken sailors, driving the deficit to records?
Where were all the protesters when ONE TRILLION DOLLARS in
tax cuts for the richest Americans were passed out by the Repups?
Little Tea Party Pussies. Cut and Run, like ShutUp runs.
90% of them can't even say who their two US Senators are.

ACORN WHO?
by John Fund, Wall Street Journal.
Only one of the five television networks that interviewed President Obama for their Sunday shows bothered to ask him about Acorn, the left-wing community organizing group whose federal funding was cut off last week by an overwhelming vote in Congress.
"Frankly, it's not something I've followed closely," Mr. Obama claimed, adding he wasn't even aware the group had been the recipient of significant federal funding. "This is not the biggest issue facing the country. It's not something I'm paying a lot of attention to," he said.
Mr. Obama added that an investigation of Acorn was appropriate after an amateur hidden-camera investigation had found Acorn offices willing to abet prostitution, but he carefully declined to say whether he would approve a federal cutoff of funds to the group.
Mr. Obama took great pains to act as if he barely knew about Acorn. In fact, his association goes back almost 20 years. In 1991, he took time off from his law firm to run a voter-registration drive for Project Vote, an Acorn partner that was soon fully absorbed under the Acorn umbrella. The drive registered 135,000 voters and was considered a major factor in the upset victory of Democrat Carol Moseley Braun over incumbent Democratic Senator Alan Dixon in the 1992 Democratic Senate primary.
Mr. Obama's success made him a hot commodity on the community organizing circuit. He became a top trainer at Acorn's Chicago conferences. In 1995, he became Acorn's attorney, participating in a landmark case to force the state of Illinois to implement the federal Motor Voter Law. That law's loose voter registration requirements would later be exploited by Acorn employees in an effort to flood voter rolls with fake names.
In 1996, Mr. Obama filled out a questionnaire listing key supporters for his campaign for the Illinois Senate. He put Acorn first (it was not an alphabetical list). In the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama became the leading critic of Voter ID laws, whose overturn was a top Acorn priority. In 2007, in a speech to Acorn's leaders prior to their political arm's endorsement of his presidential campaign, Mr. Obama was effusive: "I've been fighting alongside of Acorn on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote in Illinois, Acorn was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work."
But the Obama campaign didn't appear eager to discuss the candidate's ties to Acorn. Its press operation vividly denied Mr. Obama had been an Acorn trainer until the New York Times uncovered records demonstrating that he had been. The Obama campaign also gave Citizens Consulting, Inc., an Acorn subsidiary, $832,000 for get-out-the-vote activities in key primary states. In filings with the Federal Election Commission, the Obama campaign listed the payments as "staging, sound, lighting," only correcting the filings after the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review revealed their true nature.
Given his longstanding ties with Acorn, President Obama's protestations of ignorance or disinterest in the group's latest scandal seem preposterous. Here's hoping White House reporters will press the president to clarify just how much he really knows about Acorn and when he knew it.

Keep on denying evolution.
Keep on interfering in the private lives of 50% of Americans.
Keep on believing big government can solve all your problems.
Keep on blowing the budget and creating record deficits.
Then, wonder why you can only win elections in bible belt states.
What a bunch of pathetic losers. Tea Parties my ass.
