It's the internet, where your safe from having to confront a young, pissed off Obama supporter who's tired of hearing, the same thing from Republicans and Obama haters.
Hmm, if you're referring to an intellectual discussion of Obama's ridiculous proposals, please, bring it on. Debunking his leftist stupidity is easier than taking candy from a baby.

And if you mean some sort of physical confrontation,oh goody goody. You have no idea how much I would enjoy that. I could blow off so much steam that it would be incredibly therapeutical.

Dr Rossiter is oh so right:

Top shrink concludes liberals clinically nuts

While you point out a fatal contradiction in your prior post, I am interested in your response to the current Administration's severing and crippling of the Military in 2005, as well as the manner in which they doggedly ignored the advice of the strategists when they first presented our forces into the theater.

The World is no more and no less dangerous than it has ever been. The cold war era was as much filled with unknowns as the one in which we live now.
Tbh, I'm pretty pissed off that the Iraq situation was mishandled so badly after the initial military victory over organized military forces. At this point, I wish we had never invaded in the first place. If we hadn't, then this thread would be unnecessary because the Democrats would still be where they belong, in the minority in Congress. And a far-left nutcase like Obama wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting elected.

Study of Bush's psyche touches a nerve | World news | The Guardian
A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".

I know you are but what am I?!

"Far-left nutcase" in America is "centrist" throughout most of the rest of the developed world. That's because most of those countries just don't understand the truth like we do, mainly because of their inferior but deceptively higher-ranked public educational systems.

Obama is a far-left nutcase. I know what he wants to do (socialism) and it's despicable and goes against the principles and traditions that made this country what it is today.

And do you think for one millisecond that most Americans give a hoot in hell what the rest of the "developed" world is doing? The Europeans can take their ridiculously overtaxed nanny states and shove them right up their posterior.

Not a good argument fishmonger.

What exactly are the socialist things that he wants to do, that will go against our country? I do see this thrown around a lot, I'm curious to know what you perceive as socialist.

For example, do you think that ensuring every American has health care is Socialist?
Is raising the minimum wage Socialist?

May I ask the poster to think about the common schoolyard bully. This kid will pick on little, timid kids and be happy to continue this bad behavior.

....Until a bigger or braver kid punches him in the nose and tells him to leave the little kids alone or he is going to get a REAL beating.

I'm sure you don't see that the world is the schoolyard and there are real bullies out there that need to be punched in the nose and threatened...but this is indeed how the world operates. It's simple but true.

And, I disagree with your assertion that all aggression is rooted in fear. I believe in good and evil. Hitler's aggression was rooted in evil not fear.

If you don't believe in evil you will always think you can "talk" to everybody.

Well, luckily SOME people do progress beyond the fifth grade bullying stage....not all but some.....some stay mired in the dark ages, stuck in a fifth grade level of solving problems.......maturity is sometimes hard to obtain.

It's true that it's useless to consider what the rest of the world is doing or thinking, as a result of Newton's Third Law Of World Truth, "America is the sole source of all of the human race's good ideas and shall remain so until the end of civilization, and by America I don't mean America including Canada or Mexico or Brazil or any of those impostors."

Universal health care is socialism. It would create a bureaucratic nightmare and result in a huge tax increase. My wife and I work very hard to earn a living and I'll be damned if the government is going to take it away from me and give it to someone else. Redistribution of income is a primary tenet of socialism. I'm responsible for my family and that's it.

Is America ready for a socialist in the White House?

USA Today asks the "big question" about Barak Obama today... But, it's not what you would think, if you knew anything about the junior senator from Illinois.

The elite media is keeping its distance from Barak's socialist past and present.
His Far Left voting record tells part of his Far Left story and his speeches and early days in New York dot the "i" and cross the "t" in socialist!

This is what Obama had to say about capitalism adn free enterprise back in March 2006:
“The reason they don’t believe that government has a role in solving national problems is because they think government is the problem,” Obama said to approximately 1,500 people at the Kansas Democratic Party Washington Days convention.

Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, said Bush’s political philosophy consists of giving tax breaks and encouraging “everyone to go buy your own health care, your own retirement and security, your own child care, your own schools, your own private security forces, your own roads, your own levees.

“It’s called the ownership society. In our past there has been another name for it; it’s called social Darwinism. Every man or woman for him or herself,” he said.
The Opinion Journal published an article on Obama back in August 2004:
Obama, an Illinois state senator representing the South Side of Chicago, is in fact a far-left politician who -- as I'll show in a future column -- seeks to force ever more socialist and racist laws and programs on the American people...

"Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of our civic religion," he says. "I am a big believer in the separation of church and state. I am a big believer in our constitutional structure. I mean, I'm a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law. [Actually, Obama is not a law professor, but a "senior lecturer." As Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet has pointed out, and I know from six-and-a-half years as a college adjunct lecturer, "In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles." As Sweet also notes, however, Obama's misrepresentation of his academic position is the least of his credibility problems.]

"I am a great admirer of our founding charter and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country.
Newsmax is one source that reported on his connections to controversial billionaire George Soros back in 2004:
"A lot of his policies have the government taking care of people. Instead of giving people a leg up, he would rather give them a leg."

Soros initially was attracted to Obama because of his vision on education and health care, Vachon said. But Santos said if Obama got his way, the U.S. health care system would be worse than what Hillary Clinton proposed after her husband was elected president. She said voters should be wary of Obama's "any time, anywhere" stance on abortion.
But, his socialist foundation was probably shaped most during those early days at the Socialist (Marxist) conferences he attended in New York City:
Obama wrote that the wealth and stark racial divisions of Manhattan in the early 1980s had a profound effect on him...

He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives until they worried he'd become "one of those freaks you see on the streets around here."
So, the real question that USA Today should be asking- but won't -is not if America is ready for a "rookie" in the White House, but rather, if America is ready for a socialist in the White House!

Who are we to argue with Newton?
