It's no longer a laughing matter

When the new administration took over Washington and our smiling, community activist, leader took the oath of office, the chuckles began as we witnessed the most expensive inauguration in US history and the start of the transformation of America. I giggled -- initially. This idol-worshipped man with absolutely no background or experience became our new President. I laughed at how America had been taken for a ride.


When the President embarrassed America with his lame gift to the British Prime Minister, it was so sad it was funny. I giggled under my breath.


When the One could not convey any coherent text without the aid of his teleprompter, I snickered until I realized that these words were not his. If the machine failed, he was absolutely lost and could not find a meaningful conveyance with two hands and a flashlight.


When he then went on the apology tour of Europe; bowed to the Saudi king and shook hands with Hugo Chavez, I grinned, but the laughter was absent when I came to the conclusion that this man truly despises what America stands for.


When the new administration put out the plan for veterans to pay for their own health care, it started to get ugly. There was absolutely no humor left when I thought of these heroes coming back to American soil with the new administrations' welcome home gift. "Thanks guys and gals and for your eighteen months of life-threatening service, Johnny, what do we have for them?"


When Janet Napalitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security deemed returning war veterans and conservatives possible terrorists, it was no longer funny and it started to piss me off. We can no longer call the real bad guys terrorists. They get the moniker of Man Caused Disasters. But returning war veterans being labeled as Home Grown Terrorists?


Mr. President, you have the power to push buttons, but you're starting to push the ones that are going to send more and more Americans into opposition.


When the administration chose to publish the CIA interrogation memos jeopardizing the security of our soldiers and the willingness of all national security operatives to continue to do what they do -- all for political motivation, it became clear that they will stop at nothing to accomplish their ideological goals. Enough is enough! I can't even manufacture a whimper of humor anymore.


Now our leader has the audacity to take the bond holders and private investors in Chrysler to the woodshed and publicly threaten them into giving up their investment? "How dare they be so un-American as to want more of their investment dollars back?"

It's no longer funny. This is serious. What was initially a comedy of errors and gaffes is now becoming a serious threat to our security, our economy and our way of life.


Initially, I thought that this guy would float his trial balloons aimed at taking us to the left... test the waters, so-to-speak. He did. We watched. When nobody shot these balloons down, or stood up to the radical changes he proposed, he and Rahm became even more brazen.


Initially, I thought that regardless of his left-leaning motivations, he surely would not endanger the people of America or cause them undue hardships as a result of his desires? How wrong I was! This man...the administration couldn't give a damn about the people or their suffering, as long as it advances their agenda and creates a future throng of democratic voters who are addicted to the state. It's time for us to recognize that this President, his cabinet, his staff, his Supreme Court appointees all have a common interest and that interest has nothing whatsoever to do with the people of this country.


Until we wake up and see this charade, this façade called the administration of change, we will continue to dig a hole so deep that no manner of "change" will allow us to escape from the policy mandates this President will force upon us. Wake up America, or one day we will wake up and see an America that we no longer recognize or want to be a part of. Those of us who recognize what is going on will continue to speak out to make people aware and we will continue to be singled out by the administration; vilified if necessary, as they continue the process of steamrolling America to accomplish their agenda.

Some of the others were born Liberals, and they are only following the tradition that they were brought up with. On the other hand, I rather regard Oldtimer as a traitor to the Conservative cause. He used to be a good guy, but has completely bought into Liberal stupidity, hook, line, and sinker. It is all because of his extreme and unwarranted hatred for Bush. He justifies not voting for McCain because he hates Bush so bad. Duh, they are two different people. McCain comes a lot closer to the ideals that Oldtimer once had than Obama will ever do. But McCain is a Republican. By Oldtimer's present warped philosophy, he hates Bush; Bush is a Republican; therefore, now Oldtimer hates all Republicans. What a deal. :evil:

Seems only rightwingernuts thought is was a lame gift- but nothing will satisfy them...But what a trivial thing to judge a world leader on...


When the One could not convey any coherent text without the aid of his teleprompter, I snickered until I realized that these words were not his. If the machine failed, he was absolutely lost and could not find a meaningful conveyance with two hands and a flashlight.

Teleprompters been used by politicians for years...


When he then went on the apology tour of Europe; bowed to the Saudi king and shook hands with Hugo Chavez, I grinned, but the laughter was absent when I came to the conclusion that this man truly despises what America stands for.

Did you complain when Bush kissed the Saudi King- or bowed to the Pope? Or is it just because a non (R) did it :???:
I also think Obama showed himself the bigger man by shaking Chavez hand even after Chavez had called him and the country every name in the book...
Heck- I'd even shake hands with Soap :shock: or the other rightwingernuts that have chasitised me and thinks it makes them a bigger man if they can call worse names or do personal attacks....I'm one that believes you can get nowhere without opening a dialogue....



When the new administration put out the plan for veterans to pay for their own health care, it started to get ugly. There was absolutely no humor left when I thought of these heroes coming back to American soil with the new administrations' welcome home gift. "Thanks guys and gals and for your eighteen months of life-threatening service, Johnny, what do we have for them?"

Do you remember that Obama supported the current GI Bill-- that got passed even tho Bush/McCain tried to kill it because it gave more benefits to veterans :???: ....The Veteran idea for using their insurance was part of an idea involving Veterans being allowed to get treatment at their local hospitals/clinics, rather than travel thousands of miles- or in the case of major services get treatment at hospitals like the Mayo Clinic....
It was part of the comprehensive health care forum to look at health care reform....In which Obama said nothing was off the table- and during which I heard Senator Orrin Hatch say something has to be done NOW...



When Janet Napalitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security deemed returning war veterans and conservatives possible terrorists, it was no longer funny and it started to p*** me off. We can no longer call the real bad guys terrorists. They get the moniker of Man Caused Disasters. But returning war veterans being labeled as Home Grown Terrorists?

The Rightwingernuts made a big case out of this- when most the study and resulting info was done by the Bush Administration....Rightwingernut spokesman in their trying to fearmonger and hatemonger forgot to tell folks that the study also looked at leftwingnut extremists and extremist groups too...
And they convieniently forgot to tell their cultist followers that these type of study's and alerts to law enforcement have been going on for years- dating back into the 70's that I know of for sure......



Mr. President, you have the power to push buttons, but you're starting to push the ones that are going to send more and more Americans into opposition.

Enough is enough! I can't even manufacture a whimper of humor anymore.

I could care less if they thumped the hell out of a captured terrorist- but again- the rightwing miss's the main point...The Rule of Law...Obama has done something to bring back what the previous Administration threw out the window- The Rule of Law...
Torture - including waterboarding and other practices Cheney OKed were against both Military and International law....

This was a country built around laws- we just don't throw that out the window when they become inconvienient...


As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

Our founding fathers faced with perils that we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations.

Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake
.


Now our leader has the audacity to take the bond holders and private investors in Chrysler to the woodshed and publicly threaten them into giving up their investment? "How dare they be so un-American as to want more of their investment dollars back?"

Wallstreet- and many of these Corporations need a taking to the woodshed-- both Bush and Obama should have long ago pulled an FDR and locked them into a room until they came up with an answer.....The rightwingnuts need to get it thru their heads- true free market capitalism doesn't exist and hasn't for 200 years--and when further deregulated was an abysmal failure do to the lack of ethics and the overwhelming greed of the modern era Executives/Boards putting their personal profiteering ahead of their shareholders and their countries welfare....


It's no longer funny. This is serious. What was initially a comedy of errors and gaffes is now becoming a serious threat to our security, our economy and our way of life.

Actually Mike- its the realization that the current Republican party has tied itself to a base made up of extremist folks like you- ardent racists and homophobes- who wrap their entire platform around hate and fear that has turned me more away from the current party than anything else...This is something I have not seen locally or very little within this part of the country... Especially since neither party is no longer the party of "fiscal responsibility" - and Repubs main concern anymore seems to be "social extremism"(anyway the bunch posting here).....
This extremist social agenda- and the fact that supposed good Christians like Soap and Sandhusker can not only condone it- but backslap it daily makes me wonder where the Repub party is heading....
It definitely isn't the Republican party of years past...

You are correct, Republican party has not been fiscally responsible. But why would you chose a party that is 10 times less fiscally responsible just because the Republicans let you down? :?

Why would you vote for Ultra liberals instead of just a liberal?

OT is being anti abortion and against gay marriages what you refer to as social extremism? These were all "The Norm" until Roe v Wade and thereafter. I believe it is your side which has taken social extremism to the limits. The Republican Party just needs to stick to it's core beliefs and got think it has to become like the Dems to come back strong. In fact I believe after 2 years of lib rule we'll see a dramatic change in Washington. Remember....Obama the vote AGAINST McCain more than anything probably put Obama in the WH and McCain was no conservative.

Reader, "You're dreaming if you think you can turn back the social tide in this country. "

:lol: :lol: :lol: Where did this fantasy come from regarding some huge "social tide"? Obama's margin in the popular vote was, what, about 10%? And that margin coming after the most unpopular Republican President in ages against a Republican nominee that kept Republicans home in droves?

Obama's victory would be like winning by a touchdown against the third string of a team on a 8 game losing skid.

I don't personally care about marriage for gays but I do believe that they should have the same next of kin benefits that heterosexual partners have.

As for abortion, that is a personal decision. If you truly loathed abortions, you would promote birth control and sex education and adopt unwanted children or otherwise help the unwanted children of this nation. It's knee jerk knee jerk knee jerk. You've had decades to come up with POSITIVE policies but no... just knee jerk.

The young people see through this hypocrisy.

So abortion is a "personal decision" ?? Are not "birth control and sex eduction" the same ?? Reader you have a cafeteria set of morals. Given your rationalization why the heck should any of us get involved. It's none of our business. It's personal !!!!

You missed my point. If your religious views are so vehemently against abortion then help prevent unwanted pregnancies but no, the anti-abortion camp just likes to make a lot of noise, not to do anything POSITIVE to prevent abortions being necessary. And in fact many of them actually oppose sex education and birth control being available for teenagers who are sexually active.

The U.S. is full of people who like to make noise but not act on their convictions in any meaningful way. Very uncreative and KNEE JERK.

It is easy to miss your point! You don't have one!! :wink:

And what party apparatus put "the most unpopular Republican President in ages" in office and allowed him to rule in such a way that his ratings went through the floor? How clever do you think this apparatus is at understanding the electorate? I would tell you that they have been a dismal failure and it's because they backed a candidate who was not qualified and a platform that was led from the far right. They went from being clear victors to being trounced because of their failure to understand the electorate and their belief in slogans and smear campaigns over substance.

Did you notice that Bush's ratings got worse AFTER the Democrats took control over Congress?

You're talking about a qualified candidate and you backed OBAMA? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They failed because they drifted from the Right and the liberals eeked out a victory over a weakened Republican party because of a bunch of sheep bleating the overused buzz-word of "Chaaaaaange... Chaaaange..." Were you watching the same election I was?

Any one who thinks that the Pro-life people haven't done anything has their head in the sand.
Pro-life people have worked for years to promote more reasonable laws and promoting sexual abstinance which has been proven to work.
It is a lie to say that people cannot control their sexual urges, and that birth control measures are the only way.
Also I know many Pro-life people who have adopted unwanted children and given help to single mothers.

Reader the only moral way to control pregnancies is to obstain. There was a time in the history of our country when it was a disgrace and unthinkable to become pregnant out of wedlock. Now "children" laugh and make jokes about it because they know abortion on demand is only a phone call away. Aborting a human baby means no more to liberals than taking their morning dump.
