Oh ya and mark my words, before November something big is going to happen in this country and I predict it will be 1.) Go to war with Iran 2.) Another terrorist attack on our country 3.) Obama will be Assassinated.

I love the fact now that since every speech is recorded and a video that can be dug up and thrown back in the face of a politician that says "I didn't say that", and someone can pull up the video of that person saying that is awesome. Accountability is everything! Anything on the internet is not automatically credible, but videos rarely lie. Do you think how someone was raised has an effect on their state of mind and their ideals. I know that who I was around and where I grew up molded me. Is it so much of a stretch to think that his environment molded him? Upbringing and environment? Just a thought.

Prof said:I have to chuckle every time Tim uses the 'liberal' word as a derogatory term. I have read that it is a result of too much exposure to Rush. Liberal is not a bad word...it is only a designation that attempts to balance the political environment.
Some try to do the same with 'Democrat', its simply narrow stereotyping and an excuse in many instances for not being able to intellectually support a person's positions. This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because merely changing the topic of discussion hardly counts as an argument against a claim. In formal debate we academics cast these comments aside and chide the perpetrators.
Here, I just chuckle...

Fit95 said:Universal health care(Democratic/Obama plan) sounds good to people that can't take care of themselves; I myself don't want to have the government taking more from me to pay for others that want to be taken care of. I grew out of that when I was like - 18. That is like saying, hey I want this really expansive truck - can you pay the taxes and the liscensing for me? No!?
Well said. :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:Django said:This falls into what Barry Goldwater (before he became a liberal) used to call "creeping socialism".
I have no problem with safety nets for the truly needy. I favor the idea of a social security program that one pays into (like a mandatory savings account) which will provide seniors with a pension (benefit) when they retire.... (if neccesary). But simply giving free money away to some lazy fkrs looking for to suck off the "public tit" for the rest'a their lives is pure bullshit.
Entitlements should be reserved for senior citizens and the truly disabled. Not for able bodied parasites who's kids starve while they spend all their money on crack, weed and Thunderbird.
These programs should be patrolled every bit as closely as any other illegal activity. Freeloaders and bums are bleeding this country dry.... Taking benefits away from those who legitimately need them....
This is why entitlements are such a slippery slope....

Django said:I don't actually require an obvious propaganda film to be turned off to Obama... Everyone here knows that I'm a conservative.
But, just the idea that someone is putting out this kind of video (to scare the shit out of everyone) is somewhat (albeit predictably) disconcerting to me. It reeks of the kind of rampant Demagoguery that pervades both sides of the political spectrum.... and I, too have been guilty of it....
But what's the alternative......? We can't crawl up inside a man (or woman's) soul and look into the thoughts and intentions of their hearts. We can only view their past deeds and actions....then judge according to how these things line up against our own ideals, hopes and dreams for our future....
I've said the same shit about Obama..... But to perfectly honest, I'm not 100% sure that all the fears I have about him are perfectly founded... All I have is my gut to go on.... and my gut says (that) I prefer McCain.
McCain is (surely) a politician. And as such, he's no Jeff Smith (Goes to Washington). But the fact that he has attempted to find ways to work both sides of the aisle to promote his ideas shows that he knows how to get things done. He's a war hero and is pro military. He supports our relationship in defense of Israel. He is pro-life..... He has also spoken out against pork barrell politics (who hasn't..?) and wants a smaller government..... He doesn't want to take my guns away.....etc etc...
I cannot say these things about Obama...Nor do I have a good gut feeling about his ability to do anything but talk, smile and look good....
End of story.....
I am a conservative Libertarian..... pro-gun, pro-life, pro death penalty (for child rapists etc) and I believe we should decriminalize drug possession. We can't stop people from using anyway and it takes the drug cartels out of the picture..... along with the resulting violence. I believe the government should get the fk out of our lives and do what it does best.... Defend our nation against our enemies via our national defense programs.
I believe in walking softly and carrying a big stick....
Obama may be an empty suit and some other things.... All this other shit, I have no direct proof of.....
Politics as usual............
I do believe that his wife is a fkn airhead....... and (that) both are racist.
