Oh geez, not the old native indian argument again. Total fail!

Nobody cheers when unemployment goes up, again you're confused. People are angry that Obama and his mindless followers do whatever they can to fudge employment numbers to make him seem less like a complete failure.

I don't hate Obama, I hate his lies and his political agenda. I hate the ignorance found among his supporters and I hate stupid people who will vote for him no matter what he does or fails to do.

Oh thank you so much, for the truth. Just hit a homerun. It is not that we hate Obama the man, get your facts straight please.
It is Obama's agenda, the ignorance surrounded with thsoe who vote for him, based solely on color, ignorant to the core.
That does not help the rest of us when people vote just because, thanks a hell of a hot, look at where we now are as a economy. Just because.
It is because those very things he said he would not do, he has. The promise of a new era of bringing people together, with Hope n' Change was sincerely garbage. Stupid waste of tax dollars, and this man can spend.
There is a division of people like i have not seen in such a long time since Obama has been elected.
If Obama loves America, why just stop beating around the Bush, and not former President Bush, and own up to his own mistakes.
I hate people who point fingers at others, and come up with some doozie lies, to take the heat off of himself, hate it.
If he loves America, give us safe borders, and stop the illegals coming here.
If he loves America, love us all the same and equal.

When they see policies that they disagree with promulgated, they will speak out against them.
When Bush was president for those 8 hellyears, I never once wished for something to fail if it hurt America.

That would have been like me hoping that the WMD would evade Bush (oh that's right, THEY DID) or his "No Child Left Behind" idea would fail (OH THAT'S RIGHT, IT DID).

I never once cheered one of his failures, I just counted the days when he would go away.

But republicans outright cheer when America fails just because their guy isn't in office.

If the Seals would have failed to capture/kill Bin Laden, I guarantee you republicans on this board would have been giddy with happiness and cheering the failure.

Yep, nice patriots.

"Do most republicans hate Obama more than they love America?"

The question might more properly have been, "Do most republicans hate Obama more than they hate America?"

Well it is pertinent to this conversation whether you like it or not. It's real easy to disregard it when neither you nor anyone else here was alive during the Trail of Tears. When was the last time you visited an Indian reservation? I'm not talking about one like the Navajo Reservation, either. I mean one like the majority of them which resembles a third world country. Many of those white people came over here illegally from Europe, too. If he were alive today, Andrew Jackson would've been tried for war crimes in The Hague and locked up next to Slobodan Milosevic.

Or maybe you're trying to dance around the question because it's easy for you to claim ignorance rather than give a straight answer in return.

For Republicans, 'loving America' means:
hating non-conformists,
people that ask too many questions,
anyone who challenges the Status Quo and established religion,
and just about all minorities.

Would it be surprising if I said that this Texan was a 23 year old black male from SW Fort Worth?

Huh? That's a nutty proposition. I kmow of no one who cheers the failure of the US. I believe you are confused.

You seem to believe because the right believes his programs will lead to failure, and then point out that they were right. It Is the same as hoping for failure. We all know the sun will rise in the east, when someone comes along and tries to tell us it will rise in the west tomorrow. We are wrong for pointing out he was wrong when it rises in the east.
