Obama is the greatest small arms salesman in the history of the planet. All he has to do is get dressed and go to work and sales skyrocket.

Picking a scapegoat has always worked magic. Marx's trump card was class warfare. Hitler used the ethnic-race card. It is high time that we reject Obama's warfare pitting American against American or the U.S will be fundamentally changed. Do you want to live under a tyrannical government?

A semi-impressive screed.

Kinda well done.

Carry on.

OK, sure.

...and Congress has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything, right?

Interesting that the names of Marx and Hitler keep coming up in the anti-Obama screeds.

Leftists have no arguments. All they can do is ridicule, deride, mock, marginalize. It's the Alynski method.

If they had any good arguments, they would make them plainly. But they can't, because there are no good arguments for their ideology. Their ideology has a history of failure, and trying it over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity.

The Daily Show is for idiots. That's why you enjoy it. Glenn Beck is a brilliant man. No contest there. He doesn't appeal to non-thinkers.

The OP does nothing but invite mockery. It presents no facts, makes no points to argue with.

If you want to argue using facts and by making logical points, by all means, it would be a refreshing change of pace.

But I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to take Obama = Hitler all over a proposed 5% increase in the capital gains tax all that seriously. Hysterics deserve mockery and nothing more.

The swooning over Obama has not stopped, though there are many who have finally realized that he isn't the god they thought he was. Perhaps they have come to realize that the "crease of his trousers" is not different from theirs.

Others are still desperately trying to prop him up, as his influence has seriously begun to crumble. John Boehner took a bold and brilliant step in inviting Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress, upstaging Obama, causing the hypocrite-in chief to complain about not following protocol. I guess bypassing Congress is protocol?

Obama's success can be measured by the disaster he has caused in the Middle East, which is worsening every day, and with no leadership from Obama, it looks like Iran is going to have an empire that encompasses Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. This is Obama's "accomplishment."

The political discussion these days has been twisted totally out of whack.

If Jesus were born today he would be derided as a liberal Jew who panders to the poor.

When the argument is ridiculous, the only thing left to do is ridicule.
