Maybe you should have. If you want to wallow in your negativity, have at it, but that won't affect the MILLIONS of people who CHOOSE to at least TRY to work together towards unity!!

This is just going to turn into another gay, race riot on CD and you guys know it. We're evil because we don't like Obama and don't agree with his being elected, because as we all know he is the face of change.

Obama is going to wave his magical hand in the air and all is going to be fine. He will singlehandly remove all hate and bigotry from America while installing a new economy and less freedoms for all. We will no longer be a nation of opinions because they will go against the greater good. We will all be numbers, worker bees for the greater good of Mother America, there will no longer be gay or non-gay, minority or non-minority because Obama is going to erase those lines from our society. We will be blended for the greater good, we will work towards the greater good of Mother America.

Welcome my friends to the new world order of the New American Socialist Party of the Untied States.

The bread lines start around the corner.....

2,600,000 lost jobs in 2008 and about the same predicted for 2009.

Free children of a state unprecedented,
Today we sing our proud song
About the most powerful party in the world,
About our greatest man ever.


Surrounded with glory, soldered by [our] will,
Grow stronger and live for eternity
The party of Lenin, the party of Stalin
Wise party of Bolsheviks!
You have created a country of the October,
The able Motherland of free people.
Our Soviet state stands as rock
Born by your power and truth.


Rotten breeds of lowly treachery
You wipe from your way
You are the pride of the people, the wisdom of people,
the heart of the people and their conscience.


The sparking genius of Marx and Engels
Envisioned the future rise of the commune.
Lenin has outlined us the road to the freedom
And great OBAMA is leading us through it.

That is far from the truth. Few expect him to wave a magic wand & "cure" all ills. The bulk of us like-minded individuals see him as a "uniter"...someone who MAY be able to bring people & countries together (as opposed to blowing each other up) with a NEW way of thinking.

That's called HOPE.

Yes, things are bad & probably will get worse before better, but to have HOPE is a wonderful thing & changes won't happen overnight (and I'm SURE some people will rally on the bandwagon of "well...see I told you so" when they DON'T happen overnight).

Did I ever call you or John or Ed evil?? Did I ever call y'all ignorant or stupid or ANY names?? NO. I said some of the comments made were ignorant. I'm sure y'all think the same about some of my posts as well.

Nobody can predict the future, but trying to MAKE a better future for our kids is SURE AS HELL better than bitter, bigoted sarcasm disguised as "reality".

Default Law Of The Garbage Truck

I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly!!

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me
what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump
it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their
garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the
streets.

The bottom line is that Happy & successful people do not let garbage trucks
take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with
regrets.

This is not a serious post. And you are not a serious person.

George those are all nice sentiments and hope is always a good thing, I just don't think they're based in reality when it comes to Obama. If people think that an over-glorified politician is going to come and cure the ills of this country, then we're in worse shape than I thought. We shouldn't need Obama to do this for us. That's not the job of the President. Following that line of thinking, then all the blacks in this country should never commit another crime again, because one of their own has the highest political seat in the country. There's no reason to blame the white man anymore and they should be happy and not angry. I mean black people are making millions at sports and rap music. There should not be anymore bitterness by black people towards white people anymore, now that a black man has made it to the top of the political pole. Everything is right in America now.

Wake up, that's what Obama wants to turn this country into, a socialist nation. That's why leaders around the world love him. The see what America will turn into under him and are loving it. You will see, slowly our rights will be taken away.

I didn't watch that bore fest either. I turned it on for one minute and I saw a bunch of cars and motorcycles going down the street and said "Woopee, nothing exciting here" and turned the channel.
