Obama just might be the super dooper Marxist Socialist of all time. But there is that piece of paper known as the Constitution. Term limits have not been a particularly popular issue with incumbent Houses of Congress.

Good thing the founders and (admittedly) Congress saw fit to effectively term limit one office. I think the country will prevail in the end. Provided I can buy the gas to get to the polls.

This is what Socialism delivers, forget what it promises. We in the US should take note, Obama is a Marxist Socialist. Electing that man would begin us down the same path that the poor prople in Burma allowed. Are we going to make the same mistake they did?

I pray not.

There’s a bit more to Burma than most media or well-meaning people in general realize:

This shows how corrupted, irresponsible, and socialist the UN has becomed. They couldn’t even put it up for a vote at the UN Security Council because China and Russia would veto it.

China and Russia keep this Junta regimes and others around the world who suppress their people alive.

Time for the US to leave the UN immediately and ally with willing nations to do the right things around the world.

This comment might sound a little ridiculous here, but I saw Rambo 4 the other day and before you write this off as dumb, not only is it by far the best Rambo movie and best action movie to come out in years, (surprising I know, I was shocked) but it highlights the brutality of the junta in Burma and even contains some real footage taken by Burmese freedom fighters. Although much of the movie is action/fantasy I don’t think the brutality shown in the movie is too far fetched.. at all. I recommend it if you have the stomach for it. The movie had a decidedly right wing message.

Brutal commie dictatorships. The far left’s favorite fantasy here in the West. Almost on par with the far left’s fascination with islamo-fascists. Why is that, anyways?

Must be all that open minded tolerance cr@p.

But, what we sensible people in the West must do is define things properly. Your article brought up why most folks here in the West snooze at this news:
“…many people in the west would have had a difficult time locating Myanmar on a map.”

That’s because it is not “Myanmar”. It’s proper name is “Burma”, and has been for many centuries.

The name “myanmar” is the moniker imposed upon the region by the same brutal regime which imposes it’s brutal rule on the Burmese people.

It’s all been done with the barrel of a gun and the death of many Burmese – not the will of the people.

Other than that, you are spot on with your analysis: Why does this brutality from a brutal commie regime brutalize anyone’s sensibilities as to the brutal management of a horrific situation?? It’s to be expected.

Keep up the good work.

This is the ultimate that socialism has to offer. Why would anyone here in the USA want to elect a socialist? Be careful, our ‘local food security ‘ people are all communists as well.
