It's a filter. It only lets through what reinforces the original premise. Everything else just bounces off. If you're objective, you recognize that both the positive and the negative possibilities are real. You support one set of possibilities and resist the other. Generalized negativity is worse than useless. It's the first thing we need to overcome if we want to pull the country out of its downward spiral. Having such a mindset renders objectivity impossible.

Court, Congress and college challenged on constitutionality

Officials at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif., have been served with a demand to produce records concerning Barack Obama’s attendance there during the 1980s because they could document whether he was attending as a foreign national – in one of three fronts now established by those contesting the president-elect’s constitutional eligibility for the Oval Office.

Actually we question the veracity of your candidate and you obamabots. I have yet to see anything approaching the truth about your candidate mainly because he is keeping it a big secret. What's up with that, toodles? No, we aren't paranoid. You, on the other hand, are a gullible, soft-headed waste of genetic material who thinks That One is the greatest American who ever drew breath. On second thought, I'd rather be "paranoid" than stupid like you. You accuse us of being paranoid. Actually we question the veracity of your candidate and you obamabots.

Much to be appreciated here, as Hostadter's description fits NQ to a T: <blockquote>"One of the impressive things about paranoid literature is the contrast between its fantasied conclusions and the almost touching concern with factuality it invariably shows....It produces heroic strivings for evidence to prove that the unbelievable is the only thing that can be believed." </blockquote> Apocrypahl Kenyan birth records, anyone? Larry Johnson tape? Impending Russian invasion of Alaska?

I have this sinking feeling that the Obamas feel that there is no limit to their expense accounts as long as the American taxpayers pay for it. Let the Amercians tighten their belts a bit while the president and his family lives high off their backs.

There will be lots and lots of useless, unproductive, well phtographed "meetings." "Officials" and "experts" will continue to party hardy at the White House and nothing, NOTHING will "change." It will probably take the entire 4 years for everyone to get totally PO'ed about it and even then the far left will continue to opine about how wonderful it all is.At that point the Republicans will present us with their own version of a "saviour" and 52% of the country will go for that.

My mom pre-ordered a dozen of them for herself and her friends.
