I got the following in an email from my wife, who got it in an email from her cousin. I don't care about its origin, but it's absolutely true.
"Someone wrote this on a blog and is making the rounds. An interesting perspective.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”"
This echoes a question I've had since he won the nomination: How can a guy like this get as far as he has? Who are the people that back this dude? I can understand the opposition not wanting to support the GOP (I can understand ANYONE not wanting to support the GOP back in '08). What I can't understand is anyone supporting Obama without finding out anything about him. And who took the time except for those who DIDN'T support him (mostly conservatives-Clinton supporters didn't research him OR Hillary)? It's one thing to say that we're ready to elect a black president or a female president or even a black female president. But this guy? No way. And he's proving constantly what a bad choice he truly has been.
The answer is in the quote above. Fools. Fools are responsible for the election of this guy and fools will be the bane of America's existence long after Obama's gone, which should be 2012. To be fair, as well as balanced, conservative fools are responsible as well. At least GOP fools, as the state branch of the party in Illinois must accept a large share of blame for this buffoon getting as far as the US Senate. They totally botched the race and are the foremost culprit in my mind.
From that point, though, we have to look at independents, those noble beings who refuse to align themselves with any party as if they are somehow deeper thinkers for doing so. Independents, who don't toe any party line but vote for whomever they think is the best candidate. I wanna bitch slap the lot of 'em. As poor a option as McCain was, how could anyone in their right mind think Obama was the better choice?
Fools. Too many fools with voting rights putting our nation at risk. I was once scolded for the opinion that some people shouldn't vote. I never said anyone should be barred (except for convicted felons), but only that some people shouldn't vote. Barack Hussein Obama is proof of the truth of that opinion.

Your First Amendment right to free speech is a privilege and comes with a measure of responsibility. You have the right to exercise that responsibility here but we reserve the right to inform you when you've used that right irresponsibly.
We are benevolent dictators in this regard. Enjoy.

"What I can't understand is anyone supporting Obama without finding out anything about him."
ReplyDeleteYou all keep saying this. Sarah kept saying this during the campaign. "We don't know anything about him."
It's absurd! You may not know anything about him, but most of us who voted for him do. He's been vetted by the people, the press and his primary opponents, not to mention the general election opponents. We watch TV, we've read his books, we read the newspapers. We've read his policies and his web sites. The amount known about candidate Obama vs. what was known about Sarah Palin is like Encyclopedia vs. My Weekly Reader, both in terms of volume and substance.
The claim is absurd.
Claiming you "don't know anything about him" allows you to make absurd claims about socialist, marxist based on what you know: nothing. Which is what you admit you know. Nothing.
"You may not know anything about him, but most of us who voted for him do."
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S absurd. I never said that WE didn't know anything about him. We did. He scared the hell out us. But for you to say YOU knew about him is laughable. On the other hand, if you really DID know about him and voted for him anyway, that scares me even more.
Screw his books. They are mostly self-indulgent blatherings. At the same time, there are more than hints of his marxist leanings.
But more important is his record, what little of it there is. If he was truly vetted and you found no problem with his vote against reducing penalties for gang-bangers who murder for the benefit of their gang, and you still voted for him, shame on you. If you vetted him and knew of his votes against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, then shame on you. If you vetted him and knew that he voted against allowing a defendent to plea self defense after protecting himself with a handgun in a town that unConstitutionally bans ownership of handguns, then shame on you for voting for him. If you vetted him and knew he spent twenty years attending and financially supporting a racist preacher in a church professing the marxist Black Liberation theology, and voted for him anyway, shame on you. If you vetted him and knew of his associations with radicals, unrepentent domestic terrorists and criminals and voted for him anyway, shame on you. If you vetted him and knew of his wacky notions about the US Constitution and voted for him anyway, shame on you. If you vetted him and knew he never accomplished anything in his saintly role as a "community organizer", and you voted for him anyway, shame on you.
I knew all this and more about this scumbag. And Sarah Palin's background was far less hidden and showed successes in public life that Obama never had, more experience in executive arenas Obama never came near. REAL vetting would have shown what the right knew, that Obama had NO track record worthy of even his IL Senate seat, much less the presidency. Did you know how he got elected to the IL Senate? He got his opponents stricken from the ballot over technical reasons. He didn't even win based on his positions, but by default.
The fact is you didn't know jackshit about the punk and you supported him anyway. What I presented isn't even the whole story.
OH! But YOU read his website and his policies. That ever changing website that would remove stuff shown to be crap or damaging to himself.
He made a sucker out of each person who cast a vote for him. So tell me, do you have a Tootsie-Roll center?
