Yeah...but BO WANTS the ship to sink....and he's got 2 1/2 years left to keep poking holes because he KNOWS no one has the nads to stop him. It makes no difference if his entire base flees. He no longer needs them.

        lol Resort to what? Name calling? It's his effing initials. If I was going to name call I'd come up with something more fitting (and much much longer) than BO. I typically intentionally miss MM's erudited memos. I should point you down for mentioning him.

        I don't give a rip about his BO, nor his gum chewing, as disgustingly gauche as that was. He's a moron.

        That's giving morons a bad name now. How about salt encrusted slug. It's dead, slimy and brainless, just like BO. And if stepped on, be prepared to slide on the mucous.

        Good point. I should not have said liberals are retarded, it was degrading to retarded people. However, the ability of liberals to be honest is retarded, and the name libtards sums that up quite efficiently.

        Awhile back. You were in a particularly bad mood. I asked why you had your panties in a wad, and kh came to your defense.

  Oh, I think he does need them. To be his foils. See, he wants riots in the inner cities. So that everyone owning any property at all will gladly throw in with an force offering to protect it. Result: dictatorship.
  
  Or maybe he needs them for his shock troops, to set up a Bolshevik-style revolution.

    Yes, the sheep will fall right into line and be easily manipulated into demanding a dictator to keep them safe. Or to start the mayhem that will then give bo 'reason' to declare martial law, which will, inturn, keeping him firmly planted in the white house. Oh, fun time are ahead people. WAKE UP! Or maybe he'll go with the secretly welcoming terrorist into the fold and let them do his dirty work..it all ends the same.

      Can anyone here identify this voice-over intro?
      
      "These [the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial,...you get the idea] are the outward symbols of democracy. A democracy we take for granted as readily as we take the water we drink.
      
      "But democracy is a living thing--its skeleton, an idea [the Constitution]--its bloodstream, dissent--and its heart and soul, the lives and hopes of the people--ALL the people.
      
      "But what happens if, through fear, greed, or simple laziness, the people are coerced, or persuaded to accept a dictator--a Leader whose word is the only law?
      
      "The skeleton of democracy is destroyed.
      
      "The bloodstream, dissent, is corraled away behind the barbed wire of dozens of concentration camps.
      
      "The Leader's secret police terrorize the bulk of the people into acceptance.
      
      "And the flag of that selfsame secret police flies over our land."

        Nope.
        
        A failed pilot for ABC-TV, created by Sidney Sheldon, and titled "Shadow on the Land." It aired in April of 1968, then again during that summer, then once or twice on the old Early Show circuit, back when the broadcast network affiliates showed movies from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. ET.

        As a matter of fact, this is the same Sidney Sheldon who wrote a novel titled Bloodline, about the heiress to a multinational drug company who fought against a murderous relative to keep control of her company and find out who was trying to destroy it from inside.

        That might explain why this pilot failed. ABC-TV agreed to air the pilot but did not pick up the series.

        This is a transfer of a VHS tape. ABC-TV have never issued this title as a DVD. I sense they are deliberately suppressing it, as Columbia Pictures suppressed The Manchurian Candidate for the longest time, at the behest of Frank Sinatra, until he died and his estate decided people needed to see that film.

    But he needs them not to obstruct. Most will not, but there may still be a few that either actually have a conscience, or see their own power being usurped who may stand up.
    
    The more disappointing thing is to see the House passing bills with less than a majority of R votes, meaning that Boehner is forming a majority coalition of D's. Who's damn party leader is he?

    Not really... we don't use others to get into powerful positions to situate ourselves so we can do evil deeds and ruin freedom. So, not even close. I really wonder what it would take for his loyal followers to wake up. They don't believe the truth, the don't see the truth, so he can really get away with ANYTHING. He can literally get away with murder. People scare me.

      He has. F&F (Brian Terry and untold numbers of Mexican drug smugglers), Benghazi (4 dead including the first US Ambassador killed in 30 years), Bergdahl (several soldiers dead as a result of his desertion, and the repatriation of 5 Taliban - granted the deaths aren't a result of O policy, but the trading of 5 Taliban which will likely result in further American deaths is on him). How many US citizens (at least one, maybe more) were killed by drone strikes unlawfully and without due process (and I have no lost tears for them as I believe they deserved what they got, but we have LAWS that must be followed for all, not merely when his highness feels like it).

        Yes...I know...that was my point. What about the IRS targeting, the NSA spying, ....I could go on all day but I'm sick of this bastard. And I, for one, don't believe after he's out of office (IF he ever gets out) that things will get any better. This country has been lobotomized by political correctness and the leftists. Unless we WAKE UP AMERICA!

        Who was it who said "The law is an ass."? I have no respect for US laws anymore. BO has turned this into a third-world dictatorship.

      Both BO and his minions are in zombie mode. Most of them do not think for themselves. The ones who do think can only do so with evil intent.

Yep. There are still a lot of people in both parties who love America. I think they didn't bank on that...

  See "Propaganda". Why is "Propaganda" effective? Most persons do not use critical thinking to examine the axioms. No one knows what axioms are, in fact.

      Now you have to describe what "destroyed" looks like. They don't believe that they are destroying anything. Just rebuilding in a "better" form.

        Yes. And once they've made it 'better', and everything is destroyed life will finally be fair and equal for everyone because we will ALL have NOTHING.

BHO is no longer in the caring mode - if he ever was. He no longer cares for the country, the party, or even his legacy. He will do whatever is needed to be done to complete his agendas and only those who are ethically crippled or just want to keep the job will stick with him. Those who flee are nominally rational if for no other reason than to keep their own skins from being scarred by association.

"They respect and admire Obama ... " Can someone explain to me how can anybody sincerely admire and respect him. Admire him because he is "better" than an "average guy"? I think that I admire people who do an outstanding work in their JOB. I think that I respect people for their exceptionally good CHARACTER (use ancient virtues for definition).
All over the place you can find these days long lists of Obamas failures. How many times has he told us blatant lies? Does any one of you admire him and respect him? Please, do not say that you respect every human being, including Obama, because I will come up with a horrendous list of people that no sane human could possibly respect. I repeat my question: does any one of you admire and respect Obama? If yes, please explain why.

  " I repeat my question: does any one of you admire and respect Obama? If yes, please explain why."
  I do, to the extent I know him. I've never met him, and I don't follow the news closely. I followed it more when my business was slow last fall. My attention to the news comes and goes. I voted for him both times and when to fundraisers. He's certainly not perfect. I would be very interesting to know him and get a private answer to concerns about the precedent set by drone strikes, concerns about gov't spying on Americans, executive overreach in general, and money in politics.
  
  Maybe I would get to know him and find he's an empty shell who will say anything to get elected. I have no idea. Maybe just learning about policy details would make me not support him. From my standpoint of casual observer, he seems to be very good, not as amazing as people's wild expectations, but very good.

    I would hope and pray that he's an empty shell, but his actions have proven otherwise.
    
    He's an active enemy of the republic.

it's the Cloward-Piven approach, like with the many
hundreds of kids being dumped into arizona --
overload "capitalism" with welfare and scandal
cases, to force the enlargement of government.

this is no set of accidents by a bored president,
it is a carefully staged leftist takeover. -- j

I think what it boils down to, is that the majority of the 'American' people love being lied to. They're more than willing to put their trust in whoever makes the biggest noise. The fact that BO's own party no longer supports him makes no difference to the people, they're buying into the lies that they've been fed by the administration. The country is crumbling and we may be the few that realize what's actually happening.

This is news? America has not had a real president that uses the bully pulpit to persuade Congress and the People since Reagan's first term. Since ~1987 the system has been on a kind of autopilot with lobbyists controlling the fine adjustments (that can amplify via non-linear effects to bust).
