That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody’s son. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted — or at least, most of the time.

Obama is the USA’s Tony Blair. He is assiduously raiding the conservatives’ wardrobe. Conservative ideas will only be the sugar on the Clintonite pill he is aiming to peddle.

It truely is amazing how people’s mind can change when they get the full brunt of the from the Intelligence community, and the Joints chiefs. you’d have to be a fool not to recognize the daily threats to America.

In the very near future, BHO will be redefining the “con” in neo-con. Con man or convict: take your pick! If he strays too far he’ll piss off the extreme left. When the MSM turns on Him, it’ll be ugly. Between Mrs. Obama’s bogus hospital “job” in Chicago, Rezko Realty, million dollar records cover-up (birth, college, passport,etc.) something is certain to jump up and take a huge chunk out of His ass.

My only major gripe is that he didnt seem to notice the line about corruption and the silencing of dissent… was directed (most likely) more toward Mugabe and other one-party state tyrants in Africa and Central Asia, perhaps Latin America. And if we need to liberate someone, it’s the long suffering North Koreans or the Burmese. Let the Russians and the Chinese deal with Sudan, oh wait, they already are.

I think you all need to drop the ideology when looking at Obamanomics. First, I suspect he is of the Chicago school variety, tempered a bit by his stays on the left (oops I mean east) coast. Pragmatism doesnt invoke ideology (likely why its often juxtaposed with a lack of principles in most people’s minds), it takes baby steps rather than big leaps (though a few big leaps might not hurt…eg. energy infrastructure, entitlements, etc.) and it is always cognizant of context in all its vagaries. It’s uncomfortable for these reasons, but I think most of the American people could stand a softer step in our very heavy shoes.

Thanks for allowing my post and i hope the new administration defies your expectations.

[...] Obama’s emphasis on the role military force has played in maintaining American democracy.

Obama a neocon? I don’t think so. He’s the neo-fascists worst nightmare.

Fuck John Galt.

“You go ahead Rambo. I will never support the Democrats in any war. They deserve every knife in the back for thier performance against the Reps.”

Turn around, ace, and look at the mural that resulted from my post going right over your head.

Obama may want to prove his chops as a “strong military” type of President. (Personally, I don’t buy it…but he might think it a necessity to being re-elected).

As I look around, I see that Sudan would offer some very advantageous political reasons for making war upon them.

Basically, these can boiled down to 3 questions:

1) Do you approve of Islamic terrorism?
2) Do you approve of state-sponsored genocide?
3) Do you approve of chattel slavery?

All three, as I pointed out, are present TODAY in the Sudan.

Even the Euro-weenies might get onboard for that mess…they’ve dithered about it, along with everyone else, for long enough.

And when we win, Obama will have been the Emancipator of the Sudanese slaves.

We already know this guy models himself on FDR, and here’s a chance for him to stand in Lincoln’s company…legacy-speaking.

If the O-bots keep kissing his behind as fervently as they have, I can see him being seduced and start thinking those kinds of Big Thoughts.

Maybe he’s a closet Limbaugh listener
He doesn’t want anyone else to listen so he’s not exposed
