The Choice (But I’ve Been Touched) - A Long Overdue Update

Late on the evening of February 21, 2008, I was transformed. Alas, it’s been quite a while since I’d visited the site, “Is Barack Obama the Messiah?,” and I didn’t realize how much I’d missed. On February 21st, I discovered:
I’ve been touched by the “bluesman from Chicago.” I’ve been inspired by the “new synthetic mythology for a new kind of knowledge culture” which, the author writes, “may be the most powerful remobilization of historical and contemporary perspectives since the Popular Front movement of the 1930’s.”
Deeds and accomplishments — like hard work — are so yesterday. It is time to believe. Because, these great minds tell us, that is all we NEED TO DO!
You see, before tonight, I did not know this:
In many ways, [Obama's] language recalls that of Walt Whitman whose Leaves of Grass sought to develop a synthetic construction of what America was like as a nation, linking together a range of individual experiences, memories, perspectives, sense impressions, to create a vision of the nation as one big organism. . .
A GIANT ORGANISM! That’s what I’ve really been yearning for! And that was written by an M.I.T. professor (and that’s his photo, and he looks very intellectual!), so it must be true.
Today, I discovered all of this:
… followers willing to wait for hours on end to hear him speak have been crowding out huge concert halls and sports arenas to get a glimpse of their new progressive avatar and drive long distances to obtain the Obama darshan or to simply be in his presence. One can just imagine what the peace and flower-power concerts in the 60’s might have been like. Many even see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama. Clearly, people are hungry for a change and want an inspirational leader who can serve up some hearty ‘chicken soup for the soul’. …
Like the Mahatma [Gandhi], Obama is becoming a global symbol of the ‘hopes and dreams’ of millions around the world. Those who look up to the American ideals, consume American media, and dream American dreams are tuned into this historic election. While Gandhi marked the end of the colonial era, Obama with his multicultural background and upbringing represents the age of globalization. Obama is in an unprecedented historical position to not only be the first African American president, but the first ‘global president’ of America. Obama’s images on T-shirts, magazine covers, and TV screens around the world may be a harbinger of the next American century, if the American people are willing and able to lead it.
Obama’s Satyagraha: Or, Did Obama Swallow the Mahatma?. June 27, 2008. (Dinesh Sharma is a marketing science consultant with a PhD in Psychology from Harvard).
::::::::
There was much more that I discovered on the night of February 21st, preserved in the original, “The Choice (But I’ve Been Touched),” including more from MIT professor Jenkins’ “Obama and the ‘We’ Generation.”
Cynics might say the youthful hordes are actually part of the “‘Me’ Generation.”
Then I quoted writer and jazz expert Stanley Crouch:
“Out of One, Many Rise to Believe Again”
Opponents want to dismiss that optimism as “false hope” because they think - or pretend to think - that Barack Obama represents no more than a charismatic political slogan that has even less value than one of the worthless products brilliantly hawked around the clock throughout our media.
Barack Obama is actually a bluesman from Chicago whose big stage is not in a nightclub or a concert hall but the huge national podium on which politics are argued. Obama knows that the blues always present the unvarnished problem and provide a solution through the rhythms and tones of engagement. It is, as the writer Albert Murray has observed, a music of confrontation, and it is presented in what amounts to a purification ritual.
Stanley Crouch, NY Daily News February 18, 2008
Obama is a bluesman! He’s creating a “music of confrontation.” And that’s a “purification ritual.”
I get it now!
Don’t you???
Eric Hoffer’s book The True Believer, which was on the summer reading list sent out by my university before my freshman year, and which we discussed in seminars during our first week at the university, had a powerful influence on me and left me wary the rest of my life of any mass movement.
I believe that, if Hoffer were alive today, he would be alarmed by the “authoritarian leftists” described so brilliantly by Steve Diamond, the Santa Clara law professor who writes for No Quarter. Professor Diamond has identified several “authoritarian leftists” who have been longtime associates of Barack Obama and have influenced his politics.
Beyond Professor Diamond’s examples of Bill Ayers and Mike Klonsky as “authoritarian leftists” are many of Obama’s followers — whose cult-like, thuggish behavior was witnessed by thousands at caucuses and rallies — and on the Internet at blogs such as Daily Kos. Amusingly, both the Obama followers and the “Kossacks” fancy themselves as protectors of free speech and civil liberties, and decry the conservatives and Republicans as “authoritarian.” Yet it is they who march in lockstep just as rigidly as any rightwinger ever has.
And it is these “authoritarian leftists” who approved of the most undemocratic behavior: swarming caucuses and overwhelming Democratic party staffers who were unable to or simply didn’t bother to verify that the Obama followers were registered voters in the precinct caucuses in which they were voting.
Beneath the rapturous adulation and self-righteousness of Barack Obama’s typical follower is an insecure human being who seeks rigid adherence to a group. The Wikipedia entry on Eric Hoffer’s views offers this interesting summary:
A core principle in the book is Hoffer’s insight that mass movements are interchangeable; he notes fanatical Nazis later becoming fanatical Communists, fanatical Communists later becoming fanatical anti-Communists, and Saul, persecutor of Christians, becoming Paul, a fanatical Christian himself. For the true believer the substance of the mass movement isn’t so important as that he or she is part of that movement.
This description helps to explain why so many Kossacks attacked the blog founder Markos (”Kos”) Moulitsas when he announced he was withholding his $2,300 donation to Obama’s presidential campaign because of his dismay with Obama’s backpedaling on FISA, public financing, and more. Kos titled his essay, “Rewarding good behavior.”
it is an oddity that a somewhat independently-minded person has attracted an audience that is drawn to cult-like adoration of certain politicians such as Barack Obama.
But, as any supporter of Hillary Clinton who dared write at Daily Kos can tell you, one was met with the most vicious attacks for questioning support for “The One.”
It is criminal — to my mind — that professors at MIT and others educated at elite educational institutions are promoting this mindless adulation with rhapsodic prose that, frankly, leaves me in a fit of giggles because it’s so over the top and nonsensical.
Thankfully, most Americans are not so easily enraptured by any politician, at least for long.
Let us hope that, before the end of August, enough Democratic party delegates to the national convention come to their senses and realize that the Obama mania is on the wane, and that a truly qualified and experienced candidate is required in order to defeat John McCain in November.

This is some seriously scary crap. I don’t even know how to respond to it.
May I recommend going out to your local home center and purchasing some knee pads. Should BOBO win they will come in handy for either the position you will need to assume for the BOBOworship or if that isn’t your cup of tea, for the position you will be required to assume to while being motivated to accept the new messiah and become a reverent little BOBOworshiper.
I will die before I worship that scum.
excellent, then may I recommend you instead stop by your local federally licensed firearms dealer and legally purchase a weapon. Freedom begins and ends with you and those long haired hippy liberals who started this country were kind enough to insure that we have the right to defend that freedom with deadly force when necessary.
Already taken care of.
You da man
Darryl,
George Patton….
other sonsofbitches etc.
They cannot even consider controlling us as long as they fear our ability to resist in all manners.
Right now and for the sake of the nation, with the Ballot.
If the thugs and gangsta’s win then they will feel that they can rule over us with impunity.
That will be the end of civility in this country and the beginning of Anarchy.
I don’t ever advocate violence against other Americans. But violence is the tool gangsters and thugs use to intimate or cower otherwise brave and upstanding people. As such violence is ultimately what gangsters and thugs fear from men and women in a free society who will not fall to their knees or cower in fear.
“Gun Control” means keepin’ ‘em in the 10-Ring.
Quick reminder: The American Nazi Party is a staunch advocate of gun rights–as are white separatists, white supremacists, anti-Semites, militia men, career criminals, mass murderers, gun manufacturers, and the Ku Klux Klan.
Let’s not forget sportsmen and law enforcement.
But Perry, the people you mentioned hide in the shadows. Gangsta Rappers and the like are becoming part of the mainstream culture and in my opinion, they’ve done more to harm the progress of the black race than all of the groups you mentioned combined.
Listen to the lyrics of those songs that talk about killing policemen, raping and beating women, etc. and then imagine young blacks (and whites) listening to and being indoctrinated with that shameful stuff. Bill Cosby was booed and ridiculed for speaking out about it, but he was telling the truth.
Maybe the Government should issue each citizen a couple of caps of cyaniden just in case.
Nazis/rappers–a distinction without a difference.
Also citizens who intend to keep the above list out of their homes.
A few years ago when Amendment 2 was being hotly debated an interesting statistic was discovered. Areas with a high percentage of gun owners had a lower crime rate. And we all know that having a yappy little dog in the house redirects a burglar to the quite house next door so a street posted with “gun owner” signs would probably do more than a “neighborhood crime watch” sign would - unless there was picture of a gun displayed beneath the words.
Like I’ve been saying. We need to prepare for the apocalypse. We should all heavily arm ourselves, and move to the Idaho wilderness where we’ll establish a fortified compound to resist the gangsta rappers. We can name Hillary our spiritual leader, and if she’s unwilling, Larry Sinclair.
Let’s not forget this gem:

Ah yes, a “lightworker”. So much for Democrats being reality-based. We are a nation consumed by magical thinking. It will be our downfall.
GW Bush considered himself an enlightend person [by definition all Born-agains believe so] and then this guy states a bunch of quasi-flower people think he’s a Lightworker?
The worst part of people who know nothing about mysticism, yoga, ritual and more is that they present it as someone fanatical about any of the Abrahamic religions present their beliefs–as some spirtually righteous diatribe that more closely resemble diarhea than illumination.
True inner pathwork is Scientific in scope, discipline and massive skepticism. It’s about discovering your own personal Self.
A Yogi will tell you to find your own Guru. To find your own Self. You could spend a lifetime slowly discovering the Mind’s limits. Put on the skeptic hat and take it in small doses or you’ll turn into some quack running for President.
Instead of most people discovering their true will we got clicks in pews, at metaphysical bookstores, on tv and in every form of mass media missing the point of illumination: it’s begins and ends within your own being. It’s not about being Right or Wrong, it’s about discovering what makes you tick.
The fanatics who have a hallucinogenic vision of trance [whether through chemicals or years of meditation] and writes books like Revelations can do great damage to the progress of Society. They are egocentrics whose self-delusion spreads as more people feed their egos.
We say, “Don’t feed the Bears,” and today we can include, “Don’t feed the Egos,” as well.
americans are so used to their freedom they dont pay attention to what is going on, just listen to sound bites..and brainwashing..obama reid gore and the gang will take us down! they will do it slowly at first and will blame us for it..but they will do it..and iran is just sitting there hoping for it! waiting for their buddy to come to their aid! even though i do not like bill clinton as i know he sold this country out..so he could get reelected..and did nothing against the terriosm before it became such a big threat , he was to busy with monica, and other fun things..i do not think hillary would have sold us out! but i know obama will, he says so with every lie he speaks..
It’s called Madison Avenue marketing, folks, and it’s brought to you by the same people who run General Mills and General Electric, not to mention all the investment banks listed at the top of Obama’s donor list (and Time Warner, which owns CNN). Here’s a new post about who’s really behind Barack Obama and this “Anybody but Hillary” election cycle.

they airbrushed obama’s ears on that rolling stone cover… his ears are huge, like Erkel from that tv show… remember that show?

I f**king threw up in my mouth!
Kinda looks like that old Superman series where Clark transforms in Superman. All that’s missing is the waving flag in the background.
same pose, same sentiment in the headline.

Do you get the feeling from that photo that he’s looking down at the FUCKING FLAG PIN HE’S WEARING and laughing about how gullible the MSM and his dominion of young drones are?
Can’t view it, it needs a password.
Where’s his cape and the big possum peeking through his shirt?
Notice how he is looking down at the American flag pin and laughing?
I must be a cultist too. I am part of a movement. And like Mr. BluesObama, I am a Blues Sister (not a Blues Brother) on a mission!! My movement is PUMAS and my mission is to defeat Sen. Oblahma!!!
PUMA is an honest to goodness grassroots movement started from the bottom up by the people. Not some PR candidate supported by and anointed by the Democratic Leadership, the DNC and MSM.
PUMA is a genuine movement. Within PUMA there are many differences, and dissent is not only allowed, it’s encouraged.
PUMAcrats love their country. Obamacrats love their Obama. That’s not patriotism, that’s a cult of personality. Sick, really sick IMHO.
Goose-stepping comes immediately to mind.
Everyone that voted for Obama is a Nazi, or worse a gangsta rapper.
Nah, some of em are just extremely clueless, I know of 2 elderly ladies in my family who are big BO supporters.
I remember when I was a kid my Grandma was a big Nixon supporter, hope Im not so clueless when I get to be that old……

I intended to share this to provide a respite. Giving it a 10 because it has a good BEAT and you can dance to it.
After reading this ~ I am so sickened that nothing seems cute or funny any longer.
I am really scared, friends.
Don’t be afraid, that’s what they want us to be. We must stay strong, united and we will prevail.
I’m not scared. I pissed!
Too pissed evidently to post a coherent message. That should read: “I’m not scared, I’m pissed.” Kinda loses it’s punch when ya gotta clean it up. Sorry.
It’s all good Marge. They know we’re pissed. That’s why they are chanting “Get over it”.
Message to Obamacrats:
I am over it.
I’m over being a Democrat after 45 years.
I’m over voting a straight Democratic ticket after 45 years.
I’m over believing that the Left is always right and the right is always evil.
I’m so over thinking that the Democratic Party cares one damn bit more about the people of this country than the Republicans.
I’m over it all right. And if my choices in November are Obama or McCain it won’t be at all difficult to vote for McCain.
If I lived in a state that was sure to go one way or the other I would vote McKinney. But here in Wisconsin, it could go either way. So a Republican vote from a formerly loyal Democrat is a 2/fer.
Do I like McCain? Not particularly. But it he’s in the White House and there is a Democratic Majority with a spine he can be quite easily contained. The problem is finding a spine in the Democratic Majority. Or maybe spine isn’t the right issue. Maybe it’s integrity they lack. Ya think?
I feel kinda sick. Ugh.
I think the young have lost their minds. I am not afriad of Obush because soon he will be gone. He and his racist wife will be back in Ill.
BREAKING….
Secret film of Obots rehearsing in Denver.

Harp cut that crap out you get me every time.
If Obama’s next 2 weeks are like the last 2, McCain won’t even have to campaign. Obama will sink his own ship.
On a more positive note, there is a rumor tonight on the Confluence threads that 8 SD’s have turned from Obama to Hillary. Let us hope this is the start of a tsunami of Super Delegates coming to their senses.
Cognitive — I was waiting for some SD’s to break with BO because running with only 54% of Democrats on his side is a disaster for the party. Dems could lose Congress too. Obama wants to be considered a Messiah because being a Messiah means never having to say your sorry.
Hall,
I’m not sure if being the Messiah is a good thing long term for Obama or the New democrats.
After all our last Messiah got crucified.
I believe Confluencce has the list fo super d’s
lower left hand corner.
Well, logically, the super delegates are people, too, and even his supporters are unhappy with him. It would not surprise me to see most people get tired of him. He is arrogant and he gets annoying pretty quickly if you don’t just focu on the hoopla, but listen to what he says, and denies, and clarifies, and stammers. It is not hard to see, Obama is nothing, but a joke!
There may be many SDs who are having buyers’ regret. They are not likely to go public as the DNC has been strong-arming all Clinton supporters.
I’m reposting from the previous article:
My husband who is a financial planner/CPA has been reading a lot about George Soros and his PPPs. If you Google the public/private partnerships and Soros you can learn a lot about it. My husband’s theory as to why Soros is backing Obama (sorry it’s long):
Obama is backed by people whose interests are more closely aligned with revitalizing America through public/private partnerships which will allow Soros, cronies and customers to benefit from the privitization of America’s public assets.
For example, our crumbling infrastructure will become the poster child for what public/private partnerships can fix. Don’t worry about Obamites and their concentration camp threats against Clinton supporters but worry more about why zillionaires are backing such a vacuous candidate as Barack Obama.
Once Obama has the push of the “people” behind him, he will pick up the baton for rebuilding America and make himself look like an individual hero while he sells the future rights to our bridges and highways that will increasingly become tollways in the hands of private corporations who will suck away the capital needed to build the next round of infrastructure. This will effectively make us all “renters” of that which we once owned and our inept government officials at all levels will sit greedily at this table of plenty.
Just realize that in the long run we’re not paying ourselves for these improvements, we’re paying someone else. Soros will not be building concentration camps but will be bringing you steel and asphalt for the next 75 years and after that we’ll be lucky to have a country to call our own whether or not we vote about it. We’ll be stuck to the tit of private equity and government will become its whore.
This is not as scary or Orwellian as concentration camps and thought police but it is a far more practical and plausible outcome of this campaign, if it succeeds. Big money capitalists (Soros & company) are backing Obama because he has something they want. He looks like the people’s man and he can sell their stuff because he has their confidence. Just listen to him talk about pulling back from space.
The average voter that he is pulling in appears to be young, relatively naive, and usually a property-less urban liberal who thinks that the only evil is war for resources being fought by the neocons. It is hard for Obamites to imagine that their leader could really be a shill for those who want to capitalize the U.S. for private profits and they need a REAL non-patriot to let them in the door.
Obamites really have a problem seeing America as we do, as a sacred place that should be defended from foreign interests. They’ll be willing to sell out in a heartbeat if Obama says “yes, we can” and points at your local bridges and highways.
The bottom line is that it will divert attention to America and it will look like a positive change so it will be really easy to rally the public around the concept.
Don’t be worried about punk Obamites coming to your door. Be concerned instead about Barack and his backers fixing America for you on his watch with magic capital from private sources.
George Soros is our biggest problem and needs to be exposed for the socialist that he is.
Soros’s latest hostile takeover target is the Democratic Party, and over the past eight years, Soros and a gang of fellow billionaires have come pretty close to achieving their goal. Starting soon after George W. Bush’s inauguration as President in early 2001, Soros poured a reported $18 million into passage of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law (Soros has continued to be a major donor to McCain’s Reform Institute), which placed a cap on “soft money” donations to the political parties, but left open a loophole, allowing nominally independent groups, referred to as “527s,” to take unlimited donations. Soros began buying up the first generation of 527s, including outfits like MoveOn, ACT (America Coming Together), and Media Matters. Soros also played a pivotal role in the 2004 candidacy of Howard Dean, who bombed as a Presidential candidate, but was rewarded for his access to Soros loot with the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee, after John Kerry’s loss to George Bush in November 2004.
From that perch, Howard Dean waged a ruthless campaign against candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 primary elections–in tandem with Soros’s Democracy Alliance, a secretive billionaires club, that pooled its money to take over and run a “vast left-wing conspiracy” of 527s, PACs, and think tanks, that has replaced any Democratic Party constituency organization. In the meantime, Soros found his legion of honest Bush-haters, in groups like MoveOn and ACT, to be useful tools in his further grimy speculative binges. Following the Kerry defeat, MoveOn, the Center for American Progress, and other progressive groups on the Soros dole, targeted Vice President Dick Cheney and Halliburton, the giant oil and defense contractor that was profitting mightily off Bush and Cheney’s Iraq imperial misadventure.

Except Soros is one of those names that conjures US realpolitik for me; he is widely accepted as being a driving force of the “rose revolution” and Caucasus oil intrigue schemes. I think he means to instigate conflict with Pakistan through Obama. Another Iraq war adventure and a second term for their puppet. I hope that’s not too “black helicopter” for everyone.
The privatization schemes make a lot of sense. Still not entirely harmless, and I remember Robert Moses tried doing the same thing with NYC.
HARP,
I’m glad to see you are willing to read articles written by LaRouche. I have been posting links to his articles for months here at NQ and have been attacked for doing so. There seems to be a knee-jerk response by some to LaRouche as being a “nut”, but I find his articles on Obama to be very credible and well researched. No one else, especially the MSM, are going to expose the Soros connection to the obama candidacy and how it is a major danger to America.
I urge everyone to read another article from LaRouche entitled, “Your Enemy, George Soros”. What is truly scary is that Soros is but only one of powerful corporatists backing obama:
http://www.larouchepub.com/ - 38k
I have always been willing to read things that aren’t my particular cup of tea because that is how we learn and discern. Also the reason why I have been aware of the TUCC since last July.
went there yesterday and my focus has changed. My eyes have been opened, so to speak. I recommend everyone reading and studying from that website.
What Soros represents is NOT socialism. Socialism is an economic system, rarely practised in its pure form. Most countries today have some aspect of socialism. Basically, socialism means that the STATE owns some means of production of goods and services. For example, having public schools is socialistic. Having publicly funded police and fire departments is socialistic. These are accepted in the United States pretty much without a second thought. Some people will have a hissy fit, though, if one suggests that publicly funded medical care should be broadly implemented in the U.S.: “That’s socialized medicine!”.
If Soros is all about privatizing public assets, that is the OPPOSITE, essentially, of socialism and actually is what CAPITALISM purports in its purest form. Those who espouse an “ownership society” are for privatizing just about everything in the United States.
The true scam is that these ricos, billionaires and multi-millionaires, not only want their money, they want yours too, at no risk to themselves. They usually operate as corporations and go after the handful of people who control public monies at municipal, state, and federal levels. Some notable examples are water privatization and byway privatization (see the toll-road comment above).
I can’t take this!! Please someone wake me up and tell me I’m having a nightmare!!!
You know this Soros connection is something I’ve been trying to understand for several weeks. There are 2 theories. One, like YO Nos that the Soros connection is financial quid pro type like Rezco on a much larger scale. Rezco was awarded public funds to build and manage basically public housing or housing for the poor. The idea that private companies would be better than the government. The other theory, as Harp suggests is much larger, gobal in fact as in One World Government. Soros and the Open Society. The philosophy that there is no “ultimate truth” that the truth would be found by each individual. I may have misread it but this philosophy seems to discount any institution, religion or government that proposed “the truth” to individuals. Anyway, when I read all this I wonder which is it? Financial manipulation for his own gain? Financial manipulation to create One World Government or Open Society? I think I’ll pick what’s behind door number 3
I would agree with you and posit that in fact each choice (HARPs and mine) is a step in achieving what’s behind door number 3. I’m just looking at the first phase of selling out to the hedge funds and European socialists. HARPS open society concept is more like the penultimate goal of global socialist/capitalists who want to hobble American might permanently.
Sorry to keep on this…but I wonder…do the Open Society people see America and its strength as a world power the source of the world’s problems? Do they, like Rev Wright blame us for the terrorism that befalls us? Do they believe that it is our, what they would term arrogance as a nation that angers others in the underdeveloped world? Their solution then? One World Government? Who’s in charge of a One World Government?
I was born in 1954. Why is it that everything is our fault?
One World Order witj Him being the chief anf Bo being the puppet.
Chicago politics large scale.
Oh, yeah, and our infrastructure will look like those Remar Corp. housing units. Uninhabitable.
I guess after 232 years our great nation is finally facing a ground up revolution similar to the ones that we were forced to defeat in Germany and Russia.
I never thought that I would be looking at Bush and thinking that I might actually miss him
McCain is the Firewall my friends!!
God help our country!
Exactly, I don’t think the majority of American can see it. I used to think reactionary people were retarted and here I sit thinking the same thing. This man is going to destory us and everyone around him will jump into the flames with him because they are so souless that they NEED someone to inspire them. We truly are about to the end of America.
When they say that Obama is the first US global president what they are actually saying is that he will be the first to hand over US Sovereignty to the rest of the world.
Americans won’t be able to by homes because they will be sold to foreigners who will keep the prices rising while the dollar and our standard of living keeps falling.
I have seen this before in other countries. We will have cultures within our culture similar to what’s happening in Europe. Our identity will be lost as America no longer lead the world and will have to go through the UN to get permission to change any laws at home or for our vital interests.
The Euro will become the new exchange and the American people will become the worlds second class citizens.
That’s why Hillary cried in NH
Lou,
I agree! Hillary did say “I see what is happening…” and she does, which is why she put herself through hell, so that obama would be exposed in ways he would never have been had she quit when they were all screaming for her to get out of the race.
Hillary is truly a patriot that history will recognize as a great heroine who inspired Americans to stand up and fight to take back their country from those who wish to destroy it.
obama is the puppet, who sold his soul and is now selling out America for people, like Soros, who will eventually destroy the soverignty of America.
This PUMA movement must grow and become stronger AND we must not stop until we’ve defeated obama and put the people’s choice, Hillary, into the White House.
I think that is largely why she kept going, to expose him!
I knew something wasn’t right about Obama, but just didn’t know much about him. When I watched the ABC debate and Stephanopolos brrought up Rezko, I looked it up and started reading the Chicago newspapers. Finally I could see what the problem was!
Did you see it that way too? exactly that what I thought when she said politics is not a game how could any one with a brain or a soul not get that?
I agree completely. I have many time since said, I am afraid for my country and thought of her crying and I’ll think, yep. She knows exactly.
I keep thinking that Hillary is a PUMA, country before party. She has to be. I keep praying that she and Bill have something up their sleeves. I just can’t imagine they will both sit quietly and let this happen. She fought so hard! She is not just really falling in line, is she???? I just can’t believe that for a minute and I look at her face when she speaks for that freak. It’s not genuine. Not at all.
Hillary is our hope. She said we never gave up on her and she’ll never give up on us. Unlike Oslima, we can trust her word!
Seattle — If you’re having a nightmare I’m having the same one. How is it that in 2008 people still believe that a Messiah will come along and save us? Especially one who has had his hands in as many cookie jars as Obama has had. Hillary or McCain no other option.
Hall..
I feel that the Obamabots are Zombies from some movie I just saw. There is no past or concept of History and a blind faith and acceptance that whatever Obama wants is OK even if it destroys them.
Seattle I have never been a religious person. I believe in God and I believe in this country. There is a reason for the separation of Church and State so that people don’t blindly follow any leader who professes to know what God thinks.
No wonder Obama wants to give his acceptance speech in front of 76,000 at a Denver Football Stadium–to keep the myth of his popularity going.
Here’s the headline I want to see when this election is over. Potential Messiah loses to John McCain. Millions cheer.
His popularity is an urban legend.
Just look since Wisconsin. After Wright it has been all down hill.
The only way they have been able to keep this farce afloat is through some serious spin.
What I fear folks is that our “votes” may not decide this thing. With the likes of ACORN, and the “vote early, vote often” Chicago machine and voting machines with no paper trail, our votes might not even be tallied.
That is my fear. Just look at what happened in the cacuasus, one day Hillary was up in the polls by 7% the next day he won by 36% in a state simialr in demographic as WV. So you tell me how are we really know if our votes are going to matter. It didn’t matter in the primaries.
My fondest wish would be to see a half-empty stadium. Of course, the media and his campaign will orchestrate it so that it looks like the stadium is full. If they have to, they’ll use old shots from a Broncos football game. I, for one, won’t be watching it, so the rest of you will have to tell me how it turns out.
I’d like to see that stadium largely empty by that time!
The stadium won’t be empty-BO will bring in busloads of devotees, just like he has done for caucuses and rallys.
His fans are in the bus, we are under it!
And like Senator Obama professed:
if the tide gets ugly, he will stand by the Muslims.
I think filling that stadium is a little insurance against a HRC uprising at Obama’s Convention.
I also can’t help but think that Obama’s plane trouble today was caused by all the flip-flopping onboard.
It gave me hope to hear about the plane.
Yes, I’ll admit it. Obama makes me think evil thoughts.
Did you see his face when he was interviewed? The little wuss. He looked terrified that he could have crashed. Words didn’t match his facial expressions. Oh, yeah, right, that is the wonder of Oslima, words don’t match his expressions ever!
Maybe if he started talking from behind a curtain, we could believe him more.
Can you say Wizard of Oz?
Since you brought it up…

I never miss the Q&A in the monthly updates.
And the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947, translated and published just a few short years ago is great in detail about the Spouter of Lies vs. The Teacher of Truth. Supposedly about St James, the teacher and St Paul the usurper.
I am sooo there too. I look at McCain as a wall holding back a most evil system.
Someone needs to go into Wikipedia and edit the definition of Cult by adding a section on the Obamaniacs.
They would follow Obama off a cliff blindfolded.
now if somebody could lead Barry over the edge…
“Kick” might be the appropriate verb there…
No kicking, that souns as though there might be a threat of harm to him..
His big head should take him right over. A little too top-heavy.
hillary was the only candidate strong enough to stand up to special interests and look what they did to her…
i know that we all want hillary to get the nomination in denver, but when you look at all the money and evil stunts that have gone into pushing her down there is no way these corrupt bastards are going to stop in denver…
they might even be low enough to put her on the ticket as VP…
i believe the only thing we can do now is to vote for McCain…
Obama is already gearing up to steal votes in the general election and he will get away with it again…
we can only beat them if McCain has a huge landslide win so that they can’t steal such a large number of votes…
this way we will show the corrupt ones that WE will stand up for our country and defend it and use our vote and we won’t be bullied or threatened to vote the party line…
all politicians will be scared into doing their jobs for US as they will now know that we will cross party lines to get what we want…
the 2 party system is used to control us… by both parties…
the moment we show them that we are not going to be frightened into voting the party line both parties lose their stranglehold on america…
so,
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
Five out five adults in our family will vote Republican for the first time. We feel that McCain represents the lesser of two evils by far and in fact represents the closest thing to non-party affiliation that is out there.
McCain is the ONLY Republican we would have ever considered voting for and we are thankful he is available in this election because the alternative is downright un-American and we’ll do whatever it takes to prevent it.
For those of you that are sitting on the fence, remaining out of this election is not an option. Please consider that party affiliation isn’t as important as selecting the best candidate available. We hope that Obama is exposed as ineligible so Hillary can return to her rightful position as the Democratic nominee but if not, we know that McCain offers an alternative that is closer to Clinton than the far left/right/left/right Obama. Is he going right or left this week?
We are Americans with a heritage of spotting shills and con men in our midst, it is our leaders who are easily blinded, not we. Make every vote count!
yoonoforobama — did you see the AOL straw poll today? McCain wins every state in the union 68% to 32%. I never thought I would pray so hard for a Republican to win the Presidency however, we need to go back to normal.
How do you get to the AOL straw poll? I saw the one that ended on July 4th and I think McCain’s numbers were 68% on that one as well. I was trying to find the new one so that I could vote but no matter what combo I put in the address bar I couldn’t find it. I usually find it with a link from HillaryClintonforum.net
If you think about and had to take an RV trip across America, to tell people about your concept of mom and apple pie, and the good ole USA, would you rather ride with Senator McCain and his wife Cindy, or with Senator Obama and his charming wife Meeechelle. Want to take a quick poll?
I think it would really be a blast to ride with Hillary and Bill shooting some Wild Turkey.
i’m with you on that.
I’m really warming up to McCain. In fact my wife and I haven’t felt this patriotic in years.
Seattle — I feel so good about McCain. He is such a decent man. Even when he could have been released from captivity he stayed because he thought the Vietnamese would use his release for propaganda purposes because he is the son and grandson of Admirals.
I’m one of those Reagan democrats that couldn’t stand Carter.
I feel like it’s 1980 again and Obama is Carter.
There is a realignment taking place in politics today. The republicans have moved to the center and the Clinton wing has moved to greet them. Old differences have been put aside for now as country is more important than partisanship.
McCain is the perfect candidate to save our country.
National Security,patriotism and pride for country will be the number one issue on election day.
Watching McCain videos and his heroism actually makes me tear up like the old days.
I never knew he had a sense of humor but he’s made me laugh on the odd talk show. His SNL thing was funny as hell.
Plus McCain’s wife isn’t a whiney complainer. She actually helps people. She’s not a racist either. She brought home a bangledesh child who needed medical attention and decided to keep her!
Which reminds me, another reason to vote for McCain is that Bush did to him in 2000 what Obama did to Clinton. Made up false stories. The MSM reported that he had a black child from an affair. It was not true at all. It was Brigett from bangledesh, but the msms sold that story for Bush!
Go McCain!
I’ll see if I can find the link to the cnn story!
where can I find this poll.
I must admit, I was with you right up to where voting for a “D” or an “R” in some way addresses the problems created by the “D’s” and the “R’s”. I guess I was expecting an “I”, “L” or “G” — any letter(s) other than “D” or “R” — at that point.
Put another way, it seems like voting for “D’s” or “R’s” is why we keep getting stuck with “D’s” and “R’s”. The old saying about ‘performing the same action while expecting a different result’ comes to mind here.
This is why I’m an Independent. I don’t think either party has cornered the market on what’s best for America or how to solve all of our problems. There are good and bad politicians and policies on both sides. I vote for the person—not the party. My ballot usually has a mix of Dems and Repubs checked off.
I’ve also been saying this, gerard.
Believe me, the DNC has probably already tampered with the voting machines to manipulate the final vote count. They’ve weighed in on the “percentage” needed to affect every machine, so that it is not “obvious” when the votes look skewed, because they do not match the number of repubs, dems and independents.
If we can vote in huge numbers for McCain, there is no way they can accurately calculate the degree in which they must cheat in order for obama to win.
That’s what’s scaring the shit out of them!
It has to be a landslide for McCain! If it’s close, it is easier to cheat (look at 2000) and the DNC may be willing to try it again if they almost pull it off. I say all Clinton supporters really have to consider voting for mcCain. To not vote Obama already means you are willing to have McCain so just take it a step further and vote McCain. If you stay home or vote 3rd party, it does not make the same statement and if you stay home, I’d be afraid you (an imposter) will still be voting in this historically fraudulent election!

hillary RAWKS!!!!
Gerard:
thank you for that reminder of the President we deserve.
I needed that!
The best candidate to come along since Bill. It makes me want to cry that she is now working for that fraud to be the President. I just love her!
OK…I’m getting so frightened I’m honestly thinking about joining the Florida Militia. I’m not the paranoid type but when I smell smoke I know there’s fire somewhere.
Smoke?
Of course…that’s it! The photo of Barry on Rolling Stone!
That look is the look of somebody who just had a hit of the good ganj.
The thought on his mind is, “I just ate a block of uncooked top ramen coated in peanut butter!”
ROFLMAO
Millions of Americans feel it too. First responders like myself could not be kept silent. We spoke the truth with force since christmas..now eveyone knows and are carry the ball thank God
I feel badly that I’m so crabby all the time…about this election! The dummies that say just forget it are the soul-less sheep types going off the cliff with this Idiot.
Just believe everything will work out for Hillary!
It felt really good to contribute to retiring her debt on Friday and I sent some $ to TheDenverGroup too. What else can we do? Track down non-voters and tell them to register and snap out of their dream state? I about to!
Don’t you wish that somewhere in the herd of sheep we now know as democrat, particularly the SDS….that one of those sheep would stand up on two legs above the crowd and say, “But wait…WE DON’T HAVE TO BE SHEEP!!”
I stole that from an old Gary Larsen cartoon!
I’m [typo]
The USA is becoming Jonestown and I will not drink the Koolaid. When a sitting Senator says a man he has known for 26 years hasn’t the judgement to be President and a man who has accomplished nothing in his entire life has the judgement then I am so glad I left the Democratic Party when I did. Because I don’t know these people anymore. Or how about Clark saying that a Fighter Pilot hasn’t the judgement to be President. If the Democratic Party wants to go over a cliff for Obama let em. As for me I will stay a Republican until we have a viable third party who stands for the workers. PUMA
Me too. I’m considering working for McCain
I’m going to work for him here in Seattle. Although we are one of those Obama latte sipping volvo driving birkenstock cities with many rolex commies who have wealth and white guilt.
It’s a great city but everything is done by committee up here. No real leaders!!
I’ve voted straight democrat ticket since 1988 but this year I’m voting straight republican along with many others I have talked with.
Hall
I think I’ve been holding out in the Democrat party all these years simply because of the Clintons’. Now that they have been kicked to the curb I don’t see any reason to stay.
I feel liberated!
Like I don’t have to carry their water anymore.
This nomination process has shown me exactly what the underpinnings of this party really is and to me that is something I don’t recognize as part of my value system.
We’ve been defending this democratic congress against the conservative fringe for the past two years even when the dems basically sat there and did nothing or rolled over and did what ever Bush wanted. So I know exactly what you are saying. Bill Clinton brought me into the democratic party and since he and Hillary have been kicked to the curb and the democrats really haven’t show me much in the way of backbone or drive, I’m pretty much free to do what ever my conscience dictates. And this year it’s saying John McCain is the way to go.
Agree with you. My first clue came when they made Howie the Scream Dean the leader of the party. My shock caused me to look further into the workings at D headquarters. Not good. The blatant attack on Hillary by her own party was the final straw. I’ve been an Ind. all my life, but always leaned towards the Dems. No more. Obama was the bomb that blew up any support I’d thought of giving to Dems via Hillary. McCain gets my vote unless HRC somehow gets the nomination.
>>> Or how about Clark saying that a Fighter Pilot hasn’t the judgement to be President.
I’m comfortable with Mac. However, we have a Fighter Pilot nitwit governor in Nevada. I think that the ability to Turn and Burn, by itself, isn’t a huge qualifier for POTUS.
Remember that Shrubbie flew F-102’s in the Texas Air Guard, and that Goldwater was a WWII Instructor and McGovern managed to get a B-17 from England to Germany and back a couple of dozen times and lived to tell about it.
Chimps (and my only child) can fly airplanes…
flew F-102’s in the Texas Air Guard…

This was posted on Mr. O’s blog a year ago:
I agree.
The nerve and can I say AUDFUCKING-ACITY for some as%@@#$ professor to liken this Imbecile to a poet! Not that Walt Whitman is the ONLY person in history who ever sang the praises of this country! Like regular PEOPLE don’t appreciate freedom! This is horsepucky! They are projecting majorly and out of their everfucking minds to make such comparisons!
yup, you got it
With professors like that is there any wonder why the kids are so fucked up?
What about that fake Native American professor in Colorado Springs who spewed this same crap?
There needs to be some responsibility at all educational levels. Its all starting to smell like Marxism.
Starting? You’re kidding right it has been this way in U’s for 3 decades!
So BO is close to Ayers defends Churchill , Churchill is good buddies with the Recreate68’s Glenn Spagnuolo.
So Obama is a few degrees of seperation from these nut jobs, who as of this morning are planning to shut down access to the RNC convention.
Good luck with that!

Spare me !
No, no, no,
I agree with you.
And Gandi was no perfect human either. He and Churchill were arch rivals and he really wanted to impose so much of his own ideas on the Indians. Among many other things, he wanted them to quit smoking! LOL Goodluck!
I take it back. Nobama and Whitman do/did have something in common….tortured minds! I don’t buy all that Whitman exhaltation, myself. He was quite psycho actually.
How about Billy Collins? He’s a more mature and well adjusted poet that Whitman ever was!
Zeke, no, I was talkin’ to myself!
it’s morning already, so I don’t know if anybody’s listening…lol
Never mind!

tampa, Gilda Radner’s character Emily said that.
Yup
No - this isn’t about authoritarian leftists. Obama isn’t a leftist. As a libertarian and a neoliberal, he’s more right wing than Clinton and possibly more so that McCain. If you read that disgusting screed from the NY Daily Post, you will see it: his followers are dreaming of a New American Century - the PNAC blueprint has jumped the tracks and is now hurtling down the Democrat railroad. And the rest of the world don’t want that. We really don’t. Millions have been deceived by the brilliant branding of Obama, but not even a constant diet of Mickey D’s and CSI makes us want to be dominated by the US. If Obama worshipers see themselves leading a global crusade of Americanism, nope. The resistance is out here, and we will fight back.
Drew Carey’s definition of a Libertarian was a Republican who still gets high.
I thought you were talking about outing Obama LOL
Seattle, I’m in San Diego. I’ll get on it. I just can’t seem to dynamite my friends and neighbors out of their dream sleep enough to even register to vote.
Throw a Vote party. Get people to come to your place while there’s still time to vote, get ‘em drunk, throw in a rented stretch limo and Vote!
If registration is an issue, make the first party a registration party, (see above for instructions and then do the vote party.)
If you got five people, it would matter.
I mean I’ll get on it too…tired here….
Well, he HAS to be a rightist! There really aren’t any real left governments left, thank god. But, for sure…I’m really getting serious about finally owning a gun.
Well, I’m signing off now. Good conversation with all you great, smart people.
IMustProtest: Great Gary Larsen reference. I could see it in my mind’s eye so it got a giggle out of me.
By the way tampagirl, I think I’ll volunteer to work for McCain as well. Not only first time I’ll ever be voting for a Republican but Obambi’s got me running so scared that I’m going to help McCain beat him. The only way we can keep America strong is to protect it from foreign interests and invesstors like Soros. Let’s pop his bubble!
nite, yono
McCain is going to be here today, I think I’m going to check him out.
watch your ass… his wife is pretty tall
If you see him McCain, will you ask him to pick a good running mate, you know someone we can stand! Thanks!
My
1st choice….Sarah Palin
2nd………..Carly Fiorina
3rd………..Tim Pawlenty
4th………..Michael Steele
5th………..Bob Portman
I think it would be a BIG mistake to pick Romney.
My dream ticket however is
McCain/Clinton 08
Yeah…McCain/Clinton Wow wouldn’t that be spectacular?
I still like to dream big!
McCain / Clinton would be legendary.
I agree on your dream ticket….but no likely eh? I also would hate to see Romney. Someone mentioned to me that Jeb Bush was on a list!! I can’t believe that!! That would be a losing tix for sure! Hard to pick another repug I do like….What about Hagel?
I think Obama wanted to pick Hagel
Now that Iraq is finally turning Hagel doesn’t look so good. McCain can run on Iraq and win and can be proud of his judgment about more troops in the beginning and the surge and standing tough when everyone else wanted to cut and run.
The far right wants Romney because they have been kicked to the curb by the centrists.
Hagel’s a globalist. Not too many evangelicals accept the Mormon faith. I personally think Mitt Romney comes off as a jerk.
On a GOOD day!
Michael Steele! #1
I would pick Christine Todd Whitman or Olympia Snowe as VP candidates over Sarah Palin or Carly Fiorina. Energy is such an issue, and Sarah Palin wants to drill in ANWR. McCain’s opposition to it is one of his principles that many voters admire. Carly Fiorina gets too bad of a rap on her Hewlett Packard firing. She is seen as a liability while McCain is weak on economics. I like both of these women, but I think they’re unsuitable VP choices. I still like Tim Pawlenty.
Ditto on Snowe, that’s a winner.
Actually, I think Olympia Snowe would be amazing as McCain’s VP. From wiki:
Her moderate views have drawn attacks from conservative Republicans; the Club for Growth and Concerned Women for America label her a “Republican in Name Only” (”RINO”).[citation needed] The American Conservative Union assessed Snowe’s lifetime Senate voting record as the second least conservative Republican in the chamber, behind only Arlen Specter. Americans for Democratic Action assessed Snowe’s 2007 voting record, in a tie with Specter, as the most liberal Republican in the chamber.
In February 2006, TheWhiteHouseProject.org named Olympia Snowe one of its “8 in ‘08″, a group of eight female politicians who could possibly run and/or be elected president in 2008.[7]
In April 2006, Snowe was selected by Time as one of “America’s 10 Best Senators.”[8] She was the only woman so recognized. Time praised Snowe for her sensitivity to her constituents, also noting that: “Because of her centrist views and eagerness to get beyond partisan point scoring, Maine Republican Olympia Snowe is in the center of every policy debate in Washington.”
Steele is a calm, collected, BLACK man with an impressive past in politics. He would give an excellent backdrop to McCain’s candidacy, and would cause many to seriously consider.
A civil war is on the horizon if BO becomes president.
We will all exercise our right to bear arms and bear them we will as bears, Pumas, and whatever else we are……Americans ready to defend our constitution and our country from Obama a known anti American Muslim.
Obama shall not over come this nation with all of his bull shit!
I cannot understand how he has been allowed to get this far. This is a screwed up mess and the people who have allowed this must go down hard with him.
soldier up people, we have a fight on our hands and we must fight this crazy Obama from taking this country!
There will be civil war. It is brewing now, and will be boiling soon.
Superdelegates, you better be prepared to change your minds! 175 superdelegates better be ready to change their minds so people get your asses going and get to those super delegate ass holes who think they can get by with this shit and do not fall prey to their bull shit comeback of Roe v Wade and the 100 years in Iraq.
You tell them they have failed the American people in congress as reflected in their year long negative approval rating in congress that is worse than Bush…congress has a negative 75 percent approval rating.
Screw the superdelegates talking about concentration camps.
I wrote an email to one of those ass hole rules people and got an email back about the R v W and the Iraq crap and told that jerk to got to that meeting and do his job and I beleive it was a man from CA as well.
It is time the American people start grabbing these super delegates by the balls and as far as females, where it hurts the most and get their asses in line.
Obama has to be stopped for the safety of this country and it is up to the people to do it.
RISE PEOPLE RISE!
If Obama wins I will join the JBS and exercise my 2nd amendment rights.
An Obama admin will lead to Anarchy!!
What’s the JBS Seattle?
it’s a secret..Look it up
Is that the freedom campaign?
Ok I will tell you Tampa,
It’s the John Birch Society
They believe in individual freedoms and what has made America great all these years. If Obama wins our way of life will be under attack. That is the only time that I would join an organization like that since I would consider it a call to arms to save our country.
Isn’t that what the Militia is suppose to be about?
They’re a political organization now with candidates running for president.
I’m just scared of the thugs and gangsta’s who will feel that they have a mandate to crush all regular decent Americans and their values.
I’m just reaching the point where I feel that we need to come together to protect what we have all taken for granted all these years, that may be taken away from us with an Obama regime.
It has happened in other countries before!!
I know Seattle, I’ve told people for years and they have laughed at me. We are a young country. And people shouldn’t take for granted that our government won’t turn on us.
Good point Tampa!
I got to get up in the morning so have great week!
They are reactionary ultra-right-wing crazy sonsofbitches is who they are. If you really think that civil war might occur, I advise you to join nothing that puts you on a list.
LOL Any suggestions?
How is it that a MIT professor confused Obama with Mahatma Gandhi? I guess the same way Olbermann had confused himself with Edward R. Murrow. This is so sick and insulting to Gandhi. Let me see: he is JFK, MLK, Messiah, Gandhi and Mandela. Seriously?
I’m waiting for them to somehow turn him into a war hero
lol that is too funny…except..shh…don’t give them any ideas, they might just try it!
I know they will have him give a great speech about what it means to be a hero!
Obama will say that since he was in the Iraq war zone then that makes him a war hero
LOL, I can see him doing that
hey tampagurl check out the you tube links below…tell me what you think!!!
Wow I’m getting my butt back in church, crap that’s scary!!!!
did you see both of them??? crap i really am starting to think this shit is true!!!
Yeah, I did I’ll tell you he gives me nightmares!!!

check this out… we have to stop BO !!!!
I need to run back to church before it is too late!!! I am really scared… i have a bad feeling about this whole election and the outcome is not good!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClYk0rYPRaA
check this one out!!!! He is playing his followers as fools with that arrogant smug look on his face…
FU Obama !!!!!!
I don’t ever remember a candidate that made so many people afraid. Does anyone else?
My co-worker who refuses to vote at all is a christian and warned me Obama is the anti-christ and we are all heading to doomsday!!! He scares the shit out of me!!!
Why won’t your coworker vote? I think he can be stopped.
he does not believe in world government…he believes god is the only choice to real peace… you know what he makes sense to me!!!
I have always believed God gives you the tools and the guidance and you have to do the rest.
This has to be the worst nightmare that has ever existed!!!!
For you leftists waking up to something the rest of us have been concerned with for, oh, I don’t know, 3 generations or more, I recommend the book, “Liberal Fascism”. You will absolutely not like what is in that book and the implications for your own beliefs and what you support politically. But, you absolutely do need to read it, both to understand what is going on with Obama, why it must be stopped at all costs, and, most importantly of all, that you are looking at this from the INSIDE. Not the outside.
Resist
tell me more anonymous…don’t leave me hanging like that!!!
I kills me every time the left is blamed for this farce. I keep telling people when did you ever see the left dissing the poor, unfortunate, working class and have soo much money. What is backing him may be leftest but not the left
Exactly. Oblahblah is not leftist; he’s a plutocrat.
Wasn’t it Lincoln who said the U.S. would be taken down from the inside and not from the outside?
Whoever said it was right, because that’s exactly what’s happening now!
Great Point. Since when were people actually afraid? Time is of the essence.
I am scared to death and probably the reason why I am researching this mania at 5 o’clock in the morning. Can’t sleep.
Same here, I’ve never been involved as much as I have this year.
maybe the bad feelings we are sharing is god telling us something….i am not a religious person but my first reaction is to run to church!!!
The humble accomplished people who truly moved the masses always said they stood on the “shoulders of giants” to reach their acclaim, but without fail - they were not widely admired without cause, without accomplishment, without reason for admiration of their greatness and a legacy of some new level of honor.
Barky? No, he is not worthy of any of that kind of praise and that is the most heinous part of this con-man. He is standing in the “way too big” shoes of giants and they don‘t fit him. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.
He’s all hat and no cattle - as they say in Texas.
This whole “touch the hem” fiasco is frightening. How can people be so deluded by him? Nostradamus predictions, the Mayan calendar, and the biblical “thou shalt not” all come to mind when I see this man get this kind of ridiculously undeserved worshipful support. There is something inherently evil brewing there.
I survived the 60’s relatively intact. He represents to me the WORST of that era. He doesn’t evoke or even touch on the best ideas of those times. People banded together for peace and love and an end to war in a Woodstock mindset of brotherhood and inclusiveness. But even that era of time was more hype than hope and although it was a universally powerful entity it was short lived and largely despised by anyone over 30.
The weathermen were a seed of destruction from within that movement. They damaged the anti-war movement by their radical insanity. The fringe was not welcome then and isn’t now by the majority.
He may not be the Anti-Christ but he is a sham in the guise of a false idol - a false prophet or moreso — profit. Ghandi and MLK had a purity of purpose and were admired by their works and their good deeds and clarity of purpose and vision. They were not politicians, they were faith based movers and shakers.
Barky is a pol. He is a man filled with blind ambition. He didn’t climb the ladder one rung at a time, he took the hidden dumb waiter express elevator straight to the top and is attempting to usurp ownership of the penthouse of political power - The White House and the seal of the POTUS. No thresholds crossed in route.
He must be stopped. Calling him anything other than a corrupted usurper is too kind by far. Trying to paint him as the black messiah, Ghandi or MLK of the year 2008 is blasphemous. He needs to be outted and fast.
He is not a bluesman or a rock star or even an adequate politician. He is not worthy, trust me, he WILL be exposed when the vetting really begins. The only thing ironically preventing his exposure is Hillary herself.
As long as she is on the sidelines they can’t knee cap THE ONE. Yeah, he’s the one, the one false idol who will fall hard and far and suddenly. As fast down as he went up on his meteoric rise way above his proficiency level. Undeserving slug of a man.
PUMA for fair elections, experience and real solutions. Hillary ‘08 or DIE. Ha ha, LOL, jeeze.
Excellent post Karen, and I couldn’t agree more!!!!
The bad feelings are for sure a call to not sit idly by and watch this guy destroy our country. That means trying to get your co-worker to vote for McCain and anyone else that will listen to you. I’m going to do everything I can to help get McCain elected.

wow this is just crazy….I will do whatver i can but he wont vote and the rest of my co-workers who are willing to vote are bots!!!!
Well maybe try to get the bots to not vote. LOL Fortunately most the people I know will vote for McCain but I plan on volunteering and contributing to McCain also.
John better start stepping up to the plate and stop being so damn passive!!!
Isn’t that the truth! He better realize who is dealing with. Obama is going to play dirty just like he did with Hillary. he can’t take the high road with that guy.
He is allowing Bajoke to dictate this whole election!!!
It’s like a cult following that includes dried up hippies from the 60’s. No doubt many of these offspring supporting Obama belong to them. I thought they were a bunch of radicals then and still are. They raised a bunch of punks who have nothing better to do than faint at Obama speeches and recite a mantra. How fucking sad is that?? When the economy picks back up the job market should be looking good for those of us who actually have a sense of responsibility and what is right.
it is the cult mentality that scares me too!! Hypothetical speaking..lets say Obama loses is there going to be riots in the streets a civil war??? If McCain loses are we heading to doomsday??
WTF is going on??? I forsee nothing good coming out of this…it is a complete disaster!!!
got into a little tiff w a friend Saturday night when I said I was voting for McCain. He said after what Bush did he can’t see why I would vote Republican. I simply replied McCain is not Bush and I am not voting for any Democrat who sat in a racist, anti American church for 20 years. He said he went to a church for a long time and didn’t believe what they were preaching! I said WHY?? He didn’t answer me. I just don’t believe the majority of church goers do this. They would switch churches.
Speaking of church, I rarely attend but I get updates from Unity a non denomoniational church. I got an e-mail the other day stating they were beginning a new initiative where they want people to practice thinking of good things about our Presidential candidates. I wrote them a stern note and told them to be very careful about delving into this. Separation of church and state. I also told them I thought it was funny they didn’t decide to do this until after Hillary was out of the race. They also had a picture of a black minister from Detroit next to the article. I told them if I heard they are endorsing Barack Obama, I will promptly cut off all communication with them.
“Practice thinking”, now that is key.
Good for you! what the hell is going on with these churches. I don’t believe for one minute that most people would sit in a church that preaches hate. Only people that hate and blame the US for everything would attend such a church. I go to church to be a better person and if I went and they were preaching hate and damning America, I think I would stand up and tell that preacher off. No…I know I would tell that preacher off! No one had better God damn America in my presence.
I agree!! church should never be preaching hate, racism, sexism etc… church should be the total opposite, and should stay out of politics! That arrogant asshole knew what was going on in there!! he just was trying to fit in where he can get in!!
He absolutely knew it, he was friends with the guy for 20 years. I believe he not only knew what was being said he also agreed with it.
26 thousand smackaroos worth in 2007 according to his tax return.
$500. a week in a church where heard nothing, saw nothing, heard a little something, well, maybe a teeny tiny bit something………
Wonder how much he gives his Grandma a week?
Isn’t it time they paid some TAXES?
If the Church on the corner catches fire, so the Firefighters all clock out, jump on the truck and go eat smoke on their own time?
When the street in front of the Church needs patching, does the municipal crew do it on their lunch hour, from the goodness of their hearts?
Should the Church suffer a break-in or vandalism, do the cops volunteer to investigate?
PAY UP, Sky Pilots, or STFU!
I totally agree w both of you!! I am very patriotic and for all it’s faults the US is a wonderful place to live. I am tired of people knocking it down because they didn’t get their ass kissed enough! Unity is very liberal anyway so I have already surmised where this is going. I am going to keep an eye on what they are doing. If I hear them promoting a Presidential candidate and no doubt it would be Obama, I’ll report them to the proper authorities.
When I go to church I go for a few minutes of peace and meditation. To examine my conscience and to give thanks for the blessings of a paycheck, a roof and good health.
How can those people leave their church and feel good after their minister told them that they live in a despicable country ran by despicable white people?
Because they are haters who need to find blame. They put themselves before a pulpit to get the donations they need to build their mansions.
So many people are putting money before their country. Don’t they care about their children and grandchildren?
I thank God most every day for these things as well. I walk with my little Shih Tzu at a park near my home every single day. There are beautiful trees, a pond and rose gardens. These types of things I am thankful for as well. But some people all they can think about is how their ancestors were done wrong. Effing get over it!! It wasn’t done to them. Move on!! When people don’t move on they are holding themselves back, not society. I’m just so sick of it. Always blaming others. They need to get off their butts and do something constructive to make it better. Sitting in a racist church sure won’t!
I love this country too, and I’m sick of all these self haters criticizing us, especially for things we’ve tried to do good.
I love our Country, too. I wonder how long it will be our Country, though.
obamanation!!! makes me sick!!
Richardson wants to be Obama’s VP so bad he can’t stand it.
Yuk and hyuk, hyuk, too.
Traitor.
We have half votes and a person who is half American who has antipathy for people who are not like him. He loves the money, though.
LOL
If Senator Obama wasn’t a plant, he wouldn’t be the presumptive nominee presently. That is just a fact. He is not qualified. He came from nowhere.
He needed Edwards and Richardson to hold him up during the debates. John Edwards said so himself. They had to go and pump him up telling him to stand up to her. Don’t let her push him around. There was YouTube posted on this site a couple of weeks ago with John explaining on a cable news program how Richardson and Obama became friends. … that Richardson really wasn’t dissing Bill Clinton.
Just goes to show you that they weren’t really debating. They were there for show only. Obama was selected last summer. The rest is hisbogustory.
yes i stated this before … this whole election is fixed!!!
These people are crazy. What did they think will happen when this guy will have to go up against a republican candidate. Did they think that the RNC will just rollover because of BUSH. Its just the reverse. The RNC has not choice but to fight with everything they got so that they can remain relevant. They are looking at being out of power for 2 decades if they loose this election.
Yes, that is so true. But they cannot do anything until after Denver or else they’d never have a fat chance with Hillary as the Nominee.
I also think that the RNC is sitting back and waiting. They as long as the numbers are close like they are now they will not make any major moves. They don’t want to go up against Hillary who could easily beat McCain. They rather have a guy who has already alienated half of his party. being 20 million votes behind at the start is very hard to make up. I don’t care what you are selling to the independents.
Bingo! Joe.
The first RNC ad will likely come out the day after he makes his coronation speech in Denver, and I’d bet the farm that it’s going to be a “doozy”.
Ok, I have to go there! Whitey tape and Larry Sinclair’s evidence!
This makes sense Joe. I think they have an arsenal against Obama. His supporters are new to politics and are in for a very rude awakening.
They are just sitting back waiting because they know that all of the people saying they will vote for Obama
wont when it comes time to pull the lever.
My neighbor, a conservationist lobbyist working for a clean water group attended a My Space get together to support Obama. It was sponsored by an affluent lawyer. She called me before leaving to ask about suggestions for wine to take with her. I asked her to wait for me until I got home. I gave her a wine suggestion (Colt 45 malt liquor) and a list of questions. She knows how I feel about Obama, she also was a Hillary supporter, but now she’s “I can’t vote for McCain”. She took my questions and asked them of the group in attendance. She came home very disillusioned. She said there were blank faces as she asked the policy questions and the host, trained by an Obama program, refused to address them or couldn’t. She explained to me that people left asking each other about those issues and why they weren’t answered and ignored. I think they are voting for American Idol without having heard the contestants sing.
The DNC can not even answer these questions.
They cannot even tell us where this person came from to begin with.
So Sad.
That is so sad, for people who are well educated and well position is this society to be supporting someone they know nothing about. A media creation! I have had good well meaning friends tell me that Roe v Wade would be over if I cast my vote for McCain. Number 1 if the whimppy Dems would change the laws, that would not even factor and number 2 in 2008 where women can get next day pills, implants in the arms for 6-months and have a period only when they want, this argument is over.
I have listen to people saying the the right wing has scared us with another threat of an attack, but it is no difference than what the dems have done for years with the threat of controlling our choices. We have more choices than we could have every thought possible.
And, then BO talked about late term abortion rights, I thought I was going to spit at my TV. Another refining of his position.
After W, I want someone that knows what they are doing. I have admirmed McCain’s position on the budget and spending for years. We have to get this country back on fiscal responsibility.
If we can’t have Hillary give me someone that will not need potty training.
This kind of blind adulation is dangerous. It makes no difference if it comes from the left or the right.
We were warned by some on the right that we had the same kind of authoritarian worshipers on our side as well.
I chose not to believe it.
This has been a rather unpleasant learning experience.
It is a shame that people neither have the time or the patience to check out their candidate since he landed on our Mainland.
Learn and Discern.
I heard over the weekend that “they” whoever they are talking about making a movie about this opportunist.
He already has his own show on MSNBC with Keith Obamamann hosting 8PM nightly.
So much for learning and discerning.
So the extreme right believe he’s the anti-Christ, and the extreme left believes he’s the Messiah? I didn’t realize we had that many crazy people in this country.
Lucinda, where you been for the last…oh…THIRTY years or so?! As for that verbal diahriha spewing puddin in the picture, now wouldn’t you sleep tight knowing IT was on guard in the fighting position next to ya?
Lucinda, where you been for the last…oh…THIRTY years or so?!
Just working for a living and trying to get by.
Hope you are right, Wodiej!
Just simply based on what Republicans are known for, I don’t believe for one second they are just going to give Obama a pass. He is such an easy target the Repub’s probably cannot believe their good fortune. They dont want to screw it up so they are waiting until Obama is OFFICIALLY the nominee. Then I think they are just going to make mincemeat of him. He and his bots won’t know what hit them. As for being labled racists, I’ve got news for them, maybe some Dem’s care but REPUBLICANS DON’T. My Mom is a staunch Republican so I know!
Yes and in the meantime, Obama and his Marketeers are trying to figure out how to economically tax the air we breathe.
yes, unfortunately it would bring a rash of even more people who want something for nothing.
NY Times bashes obama wahahahahahaahaha
Barack Obama has run an admirable campaign based on HOPE and CHANGE. A campaign that promises the American people a new level of transparency.
Sign the Petition
We the undersigned ask you to join us in demanding that Barack Obama show an official copy of his birth certificate to a reputable news outlet. It is a small request that should be welcomed by a politician looking to bring change to

done!
Thank you. Isreal Insider is writing on the subject again.
Early this morning Texas Darlin claimed that his bogus COLB was removed from the site. As sickening as it was, I held my nose and viewed it
– was presto! Chango! Voila! Gone!
I visited it a few minutes ago and it was there again.
Maybe they put up a new one?
thank you for the link, I just signed!!
While it is true that Obama followers “protect” the first amendment, they protect it for themselves only. All dissention is not protected in their minds. To them it is tantamount to blasphemy, refusal to worship the Incandescent One. Yes, it’s a religion to them.
Charismatics do that. It’s who they are. But if history has taught us one thing about charismatics it’s that charisma can be used for Good or for Bad, and historically, political charismatics are megalomaniacs or narcissists who lead their followers straight to hell.
I think the only exception I can remember is JFK, but then again, he wasn’t our Leader long enough for any disappointment to set in…or for us to see him as a fallible Human. Also, Press coverage of leaders in those days was more coordinated and planned than anything else. There was Reagan too, but I never really saw him as charismatic. He was more like an endearing impish little boy who was secretly stealing your jewelry while you fawned over him. That was different. The one thing that tied Reagan and Kennedy was their sense of humor, which is always disarming.
Obama does not have that sense of humor. What attempts at humor he has given us are generally at someone else’s expense, kind of malicious, often followed by “Heh heh”. He is far more “authoritarian” than either Kennedy or Reagan. More like the “leaders” of Europe during another time, if you get my point. Toss in The War resistance attempting to mimic the Viet Nam resistance, and barack obama’s candidacy is Sooooo McGovern, but that McGovern wasn’t a “Changeling”. He stuck to his guns after the primaries. He did not let his “followers” down with his message, so his veneer didn’t start to tarnish. Barack Obama’s tarnish is beginning to show. When confronted with the demand for details beyond the chants, he flunks the test. You can thank the protracted Primary for this. We should be most grateful for that, else he would still be appearing more than human, which he is not, and more than a politician, which is exactly what he is.
When I think of similarities with other leaders, Obama seems more like George Bush than any of the others we have known. The Changeling. The liar. The manipulator of his followers. The dodger and weaver. The Blind followers who attack, threaten or make excuses and redirect the blame to others or completely change the subject. The claims to Unite while Dividing. The lack of experience. The denials. The refusal to be vetted. It’s all so similar, it’s frightening. It’s odd how the very people who despised Bush the most don’t recognize the same pattern in their own Messiah. But as I said, Charisma can do that to people.
Barack Obama’s Change The Way Washington is Run equates to Changing It To The Authoritarian Way Chicago is Run. This is not a step forward, folks.
His sense of humor is pure sarcasm.
even bush has a better sense of humor than Obama
The Obama’s are like the biblical satan who says I will destroy you even though you worship me.
well said. I think the bots “thinking” is revenge not who the best candidate would be to change the disastrous 7 + years of Bush/Cheney.
The fix was in when Howard Dean gave his keynote speech to the PES in 2006. Just step back and look at the big picture and even the blind can understand how the democratic party became the democratic socialist party USA. Rasmussen, the President of the PES (Party of European Socialists, AKA Progressive Parties), wasn’t praising Howard Dean the American Democrat when he said: “We (the PES) want to thank Howard Dean for introducing the Socialist Parties of Europe to a new form of campaigning”. The President of PES was praising Howard Dean the socialist in America, for helping the Socialist’s cause. Now just think of Obama’s past associates.
Comparing Oblahblah to Gandhi? Gandhi led by example and a fine one, at that. Obama lectures, pontificates, and speechifies. Gandhi was self-effacing and humble; Obambi is a self-absorbed and arrogant. Gandhi brought an end to British rule in India; Obama couldn’t even be bothered to hold hearings on Afghanistan.
Any detectives out there? We need some help. You don’t have to believe just listen! We need some help finding phone numbers! Thank you!
No Obama

I find these comparisons of the “O” to a Messiah offensive. I have searched for a Biblical passage…I thought it was in Proverbs…help me out Rev. Amy…any way to paraprase—”beware of false prophets who spread themselves like great yew trees”. I often think of that with regard to politicans!
i agree with you!!!
Excellent and sobering post SusanUnPC; I had missed the Feb. 21st. one.
Amazing the MIT Prof. (Jenkins) writes such crap….
The problem with BO supporters is that (1) are either too young to know what populism is and/or (2) are grown up ignorant and naive.
I have lived through these types and the aftermath is not pretty. We are at a sad juncture in this election. After so much promise and so much waiting we are left with a gloomy and possibly dangerous prospect for the next 4 years…
I am convinced the antiodte to the Obama thugs is not reason but publicly shaming them with overbearing ridicule, sarcasm numbers and a camera.
We have been trying to fight them with arguments and reason and that’s just going no-where b/c they are out of their minds and behave with their guts.
So one has to treat them like thugs and fight them in kind.
Hmmm, take the edge off of the Obama-messiah feeling with a cruise on over to the Obama’s Gaffes site…
SusanUnPC, ‘What a long strange trip it’s been’.
Keep on truckin’
Ugh, no thanks. We had to tolerate Steele here in Maryland under the Egregious Ehrlich. No mas!
This is beyond alarming:
Just think of it. The individuals on various extreme left blogs and messageboards such as RRMB and Kos are nothing but a collection of (I’m quoting a board member from http://www.TheOtherDemocrats.com here: http://www.theotherdemocrats.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=187&view=findpost&p=845)
Nice! Like Gypsies in the Palace. That’s who’s in charge ‘on the street’ for the Obama thugs.
It’s scary. It’s disgusting. It’s unAmerican. OH, wait! It’s the DNC and Obama-zombies!
Thank you for this insight. Now, I am One With The Organism. I admit it: I held out. I was one of those “dead-enders”. Yes,I was a drag. It’s not all my fault. I blame Hillary. And Bill. In my defense, they seemed to make sense. You know, they are very rational people.
Now I am happy to be whatever part of the Organism is my fate. A polyp, perhaps. Waiting to be removed for the good of The Organism. I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted from me. You know, I think it is my ability to “think rationally” that has been holding me back from this gestalt of Obamian Grace.
Maybe I’m not good enough to be a polyp. Maybe just a skin tag. O Holy Cosmetologist, please remove me, if in any way I defile the body of The Great Organism.
I was taught to keep things simple, not that I’m good at it, but…Fuck Obama. Fuck the Democratic National Party. I was never a gung ho Hillary supporter, but I did give her a good look-over after so many things happened early in this. She would be the best manager for the job, but favoritism, glee, and glow trump skill, effort, experience, and quality.
So, forgive me as I repeat, Fuck Obama. And for all you followers of Obama, Fuck you too.
With love,
TT007
Actually, I think the Obama supporters are actually members of the Objectivist movement, That movement has long been known as a cult and also very attractive to certain types of insecure young adults. And, not so young malignant narcissists. They probably think of him as the ideal man.
I should have said, the core. There are young people supporting Obama for the right reasons and I hope PUMA will provide them a warm welcome home as time goes on. Because they are mostly interested in fairness and equality.
Well as far as the bullcrap being spouted by elite professors Im not really surprised. Basically you need a PhD to teach in a college, not necessarily a high IQ or presence of mind. Isnt Ayres also a university professor? Im just saying, some of them, not all of them, some are full of it.
