How about, "he doesn't practice what he preaches, and it has nothing to do with freedom regardless".

How unfortunate you can't see that this is nothing more than him campaigning.

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds"

Bob Marley

Maybe one day people will go back to a time when they free their minds and think for themselves, and not be lead by those who think for them.
This post makes no sense. You are suppose to be explaining why you disagree with what the President said, instead, you went into a rant about what you believe people died for, which is an opinion of someone elses opinion that they never shared with you.

And what does it matter if he is campaigning, that doesnt answer the question put forth to you. What exactly in his statement do you disagree with ?

That works, but that isnt what that post said and that still wouldnt answer the question.

2. You do realize the post you linked to is talking about that posters perception of Barack Obama's actions, not his idea of freedoms.


to put it simply, if you say " he doesnt practice what he preaches" then you arent saying he is wrong in what he preaches, you are saying he is wrong in his actions.

there for, your link doesnt answer my post.
That's funny coming from you. You accused me of making two statements and I asked you to find my posts and quote me.

Still waiting......................................haven 't seen them, but I'll continue to wait.............................

The first thing I said was read my earlier post.

Where did I say I disagree with them. What I did do, is to point out that they are not "freedoms", but campaign cow-towing to the idiots that will see them as freedoms. Only a fool would believe that Obama is granting freedoms to Americans as if those "freedoms" are a gift. I gave an example of how people died to protect the very freedoms you enjoy today. Let me clue you in - you are nothing more than a mental slave to Obama.

For one thing, Obamacare is not a "freedom". It is a law. People are mandated to sign up or be penalized - either through fines or having to pay for the insurance of others. How is that "freedom"?

He talks about job bouncing. As the great job creator that you believe he is, why is unemployment so high? It would be higher if the WH was honest as to how they come up with their dream numbers. You probably think its a case of employed vs unemployed without even thinking about the formulas they use.

My post does make sense, you just have a serious comprehension problem, criticize other posters for not quoting your posts, yet you do the same. I have asked you several times to support your claims and you have totally ignored those requests. Could it be that you can't find any posts where I said things you claim I said?

Please translate the highlighted text. You know what, don't bother. It will probably make as much sense in it's original state - which is no sense.

Lets remember for a second that you responded to my post, not the other way around.


My post asked for you to explain why you(directed to the thread) disagree with what the President said. If you werent disagreeing with him aka responding to my post, then you were just ranting while quoting my post, which would make no sense.

1. Unemployment is 3 and half percent lower than it was at its peak. And if you counted it the way you claimed, it would still be lower than at its peak during the recession

2. Again, what are these claims that you are saying i made towards you ?

3. I didnt ask you to quote me, and even if i did, doesnt that make you a hypocrite by not doing so ?
