Still want to claim that most violence comes from liberals???

Can you site where liberals have racked-up more body bags than Dubya/Cheney???

Can you site where they even came remotely close???
With the obvious exceptions of Iraq and Afghanistan, pretty much every American war of the 20th century was started by a Democrat president.

It reminds me a lot about several of the posters on this forum...

Strong language can poison weak minds.. that is evidenced by the vile screams to 'kill him' during Sarah Palin campaign stops. A mob can be inspired to violence very easily by the oratory of a few irresponsible leaders praying on the fears, prejudices and hatred of the crowd.

Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh easily come to mind - and several others would make the short list.

One thing is for sure - the GOP has more than it's share of dangerous demigods - and rabble rousers - these days...
They all have mental illness...

please name 1 conservative thing bush did while in office. call him a republican all you want, but he was little more than a born again christian freak liberal. I got an example for you. the godfather of american liberal extremism, F(reedom)D(estroying)R(etard) was president during the 70,000,000 that died during WW 2. game, set, match.

sorry, but 4 terms? the guy was a dictator. criminalizing all drugs but lifting the ban on alcohol. why? because alcohol is harder to make, but easier to tax. the income tax. I also forgot to mention the 650,000 that obama's idol lincoln murdered.

[quote=ParkTwain;8179716]WOW!

Inside Obama's bank CEOs meeting (http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20090403/pl_politico/20871 - broken link)
//
These are complicated companies,” one CEO said. Offered another: “We’re competing for talent on an international market.”

But President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”


100% political statement. The big 5 Banks and the government are working on the same agenda. When will people wake up and figure that out?

Default “My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

This statement wouldn't bother me as much if Obama wasn't trying to corner the market on pitchfork sales.
