Oh, he has rage, have no doubt. It is not his intellectual side that has him going out of his way to demonize private citizens and groups of people. It's not his intellectual side that has him mocking, ridiculing groups and individuals, its just him releasing his pent up aggression and anger. It's almost the 0bama calling card to be snarky and condescending, there is nothing intellectual about that. He only sounds intellectual when reading from his idiot boards.

obama is always making references with violent overtones when he is forced to debate and defend his stand on the issues with others. One quote was "If they bring a knife to the fight..We'll bring a gun", he asked an audience member to tear up Sean Hannity, and now, when he will not have a democrat majority in the senate and congress he says "That means that we are going to have just hand-to-hand combat up here on Capitol Hill."

I'm not suggesting 0bama is inherently violent, just that he falls back on that language and tactics, instead of taking the intellectual route. It's probably because he lacks leadership and experience, so he falls back on ridicule, and over the top, pencil-neck geek, tough guy rhetoric.

Your tactic is akin to yelling 'Fire' in a movie theater.

You make a big assumption that people DON'T search for themselves.

Do you have a second sight or what?

The win-win for this, is that 0bama can be a Marxist or a Fabian socialist, and still be an anti-colonialist.
Anyone with any sense is an anti-colonialist. Do you speak so disparagingly of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence?

Lets see what they signed:

Quote:
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;

establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies
The Declaration of Independence

Quote:
Definition of COLONIAL

1
: of, relating to, or characteristic of a colony

2
often capitalized : of or relating to the original 13 colonies forming the United States: as a : made or prevailing in America during the colonial period <colonial architecture> b : adapted from or reminiscent of an American colonial mode of design <colonial furniture>
Colonial - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

So in effect you're saying anyone with any sense would be anti-American. Thanks for the clarification, it's something many of us already knew about some of the folks on here and some of those that reside in the White House and Congress.

That is such a distortion of what I said. Unless you support American colonialism (Puerto Rico, etc.), you should be in favor of allowing people to self-determine and self-govern. Same as what those who signed the Declaration of Independence wanted. I don't think European nations should have colonies, and I don't think America should either.

I see no rage in Obama what so ever...he seems very calm to me...a square peg...

It's funny how people will spin things however they see fit to fit their own self serving political needs...

Default Obama's Rage

If anyone wants to know why our president is so rabidly anti-American, one only has to pick up and read a fascinating book by Dinesh D'Souza called "The Roots of Obama's Rage." It is an extremely insightful and comprehensive exploration of the background and "education" of the man sitting in the White House. What most don't really realize is that this man is not the product of the American civil rights experience and he has no particular reverence for the likes of Rev. Marting Luther King. But rather he is the product of the radical anti-colonialsim that his Kenyan father as well as the American Marxists Bill Ayers & Saul Alinsky as well as his own pastor, Jerimiah Wright - all radically anti-American. We all remember when he had the bust of Winston Churchill (on loan from the British since 9/11 as a symbol of solidarity) returned. He did that because he considered Churchill the poster boy for the colonial subjugation of non-white populations. Never mind that the White House and its contents belong to the American people, he just acted like he owned the whole place and could do what he wanted.

This book has validity because the author uses Obama's own words and history to paint the complete picture of this man who gained the presidency by deceit. He clearly doesn't like America or most of its people. He clearly doesn't believe that American values are worth emulating. He clearly believes that we need to step back, step down and relinquish our claim as the best country on the planet and that doesn't even begin to address his feelings about the redistribution of Americans wealth to "the less fortunate."

Even if you don't read the entire book, the reviews on Amazon for this fascinating book will give you a look at your president that you have likely never seen before. Obama clearly doesn't like us...

Obviously you are not familiar with the book. It is not a "birther" book. Maybe you like knowing nothing about your POTUS and prefer it that way?
