While I tend to disagree with almost everything this poster says (in fact, I find much of what he says offensive, such as his comment bout Obama being elected because "he spoke well and is black"), the above comment I do agree with.
"The devil is in your mind."
It's all in your freakin' heads!!!
What isn't in your freakin' heads is the fact that President Obama will be my president AND YOURS for the next four years, one month, and six days.
You all are a bunch of whiny asses. Get over it.
The reason I belittle Obama is so people are not afraid of the guy. I see what I see and I don't see some monster who is about to destroy your nation. If America is in decline it was caused by the populace in general....YOU are to blame for your own problems. All a president does is preside over meetings...and YES if you believe in a devil he will appear...so stop it.
As I've heard before - Biden is the "gift that keeps on giving".
As useless as the man is, the only quote I remember (aside from the lipstick comment by Palin) from the 2008 campaign was a quote from Biden:
"Don't tell me what your bottom line is. Show me your budget and I'LL tell you what your bottom line is"
That line (from Biden of all people) really stuck with me.
Agreed.. Biden has a style that repeatedly resorts to analogy always avoiding simple head on commentary. Of all I find him the hands down King of untruthfulness, and mischievousness where full knowledge of poor consequence in bad idea's, is fully grasped beforehand.

I've wondered many times where the money is. Most recently with the Solyndra CEO and unaccounted for millions (or is it billions - does it even matter what consonant is in the front of the amount anymore?). He didn't know where the money had gone.
So why can't we find it? It was tangible money given to the company by the feds courtesy of you and me - not the made up money that almost killed the economy. The dough wasn't stuffed in vaults anywhere. It was moved around via the push of a button. There has to be a trail, and yet we don't look for it. This crap gives me a headache.
Re: the OP. He wasn't talking about insurrection. He asked about civil disobedience - whole different animal.
In terms of scale, Solyndra wasn't even a rounding error on the rounding error to the budget.
Civil disobedience because your side lost the election is both childish and unpatriotic and underscores a bitter disdain for democratic principles. Besides, what kind of civil disobedience? Are you going to refuse to go to work? Are you going to refuse to go to send your children to school? Are you going to refuse to pay your taxes?
This always struck me as a very weird phenomenon - same with the civilian "Promise Keepers".
As far as I'm concerned, you take an oath, then you live by it, and that's the end of it. What man needs to join an organization that reminds him how awesome he is for living up to that very basic code? You're not getting points for living up to an oath, it's to be considered the baseline for decency.
I think the vast majority of us, both right and left will do nothing but whine and cry. It would take a flagrent attack on a basic constitutional right to incite anyone to do something drastic.... Houseing a large number of foriegn UN troops and useing them to forcibly suspending the basic freedoms. (Speech, Worship, Guns, Mass arrest etc.....) I can't even imagine the logistics to do something like that .
Isn't that nice, people who say they love America talking about insurrection.
Your assertion that "Obama is obviously a domestic enemy of the constitution" and he has a "destructive socialist path" is truly mindless.

That's a very good point.
MLK organized peaceful and legal disobedience against racial segregation. That is concrete policy.
At the time, buses were segregated -- blacks had to sit in the back and give up their seat to a white person. Moreover, public areas, such as restaurants, were also segregated.
What MLK did was organize a boycott of the buses and restaurants that were segregated. Since many of the bus customers were black, this hit them in the pocketbook. The same for the restaurants; it gave those restaurants a financial disincentive to adhere to the racist policies.
So what specifically is the OP protesting, except a vague notion of an "Obama destructive socialist path?" What is the OP proposing as an action plan? He doesn't say.
I thought you guys were going to secede now that Obama won a second term by the majority of voters and electoral votes? Did that plan fizzled and die so quickly?
