Anti-Americanism (or “why’s it ok to hate freedom?”)
Back in the day there used to be this little group, let’s call them … The Nationalist Socialist German Worker’s’ Party, which was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. This group later became the Nazi party. Nazi ideology stressed the failure of democracy, failure of Laissez-faire capitalism, "racial purity of the German people" and persecuted those it perceived either as race enemies or Lebensunwertes Leben, that is "life unworthy of living". This included Jews, Slavs, and Roma along with German homosexuals, the mentally disabled, communists, and others.*
We entered World War 2 and with he help of our allies defeated the spread of Nazi-ism and it’s ideals in May of 1945. In the grand scheme of things that really wasn’t all that long ago. So with that in mind and one of the main things you see on the news being the hatred of Nazi’s and their oppressive mentality. why do people continue to fall for the smoke and mirrors of less rights in the cause of safety? You probably think I’m delusional. I assure you, I’m not. Let me show you something interesting, let’s take the Nazi parties ideals and swap some words out. Republican ideology stressed the failure of Liberalism within democracy , failure of Regulation, "Regulatory authorities are commonly set up to enforce standards and safety, to oversee use of public goods and regulate commerce." and the moral decay of society by those it perceived either as moral enemies or Anarchist, that “want nothing more then to destroy the moral fiber of America". This included homosexuals, liberals, communists, and those against the free market. If you look at the two their really not all that different. now that’s not to say Republicans as a whole are Nazi’s, that’d be ridiculous. But the hardcore-far-right Conservatives are an extremist group, much like their polar opposite the far-left liberals. Both of these groups seem to miss the entire point of America and they’re both radical fringe elements in my opinion. The United States was initially setup by a group of people that were fleeing religious intolerance and dictatorial rule. the entire history of our country is based on the throwing off of old ideas and coming up with an amalgam that takes most of the best of all sides and makes a livable environment for everyone. These two groups however, don’t like America or the very premise of the country. they prefer to instigate and inflame hatred for the other side, they also believe only their way is right. For eight years our country was steered to the far right, the far left was hoping that with the election of Obama they could steer us in the polar opposite direction. Funny thing is, President Obama is doing what he said he was going to do, he’s being a centrist, he’s trying to reach out to both sides and use the best ideas from both halves.
It’s a sad state of affairs when people can’t see eye-to-eye, it’s disastrous when they decide to do everything in their power to oppose someone that’s trying to help on some vague principle. It’s ok if you don’t believe in someone else’s ideals, that’s what the country was built on. It’s another thing entirely to use the same principle’s as the Nazi’s, hate, fear, suspicion… to get your way, that’s not something that’s Country first (a popular slogan during the presidential campaigns) that’s Father Land first. Hitler would be proud.

Barack Obama, Wins!! McCain loses but goes out in style, and Palin – EPIC FAIL… and for you a retort…
Ahem, I’d just like to close this little chapter of your 15 minutes of fame with closure.
“A small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except you have actual responsibilities” Sarah Palin quote from the 2008 republican convention
Maybe, but…..
“A community organizer is sort of like a small town mayor , except you actually can become President.” Me, quoted November 5th 2008.
More debate commentary
Pat Buccaneen is like “Palin won because she’s “authentic”, she’s charismatic…” WTF?? How about answering the questions? How about saying something of substance. She can’t say anything about the Bailout? She can’t say what’s so different about the McCain/Palin ticket? She can just say she’s not answering questions. Huh? Yeah, that’s good stuff right there. Not useful… but good.
To someone.
Not me.
Someone explain to me
Governor Palin is a victim of “Gotcha” journalism because she was overheard responding to a voter about what she’s do about a foreign country. So… in order to show she’s competent, John McCain goes on the second half of Palin’s interview with Katie Couric… a woman… and proceeds to talk over Palin and respond for her when Couric asks her anything. And this is who the disenchanted Hillary voters would rather or should rather vote for? Yeah, that doesn’t show her as either incompetent, too stupid to answer, or unable to defend herself in the big leagues. Hell, it was like watching a father protect his daughter, and this is what conservatives want for the next 4 years…? Genius.
Comedy.
But FoxNews is reporting he’s your guy. So, yeah I’ll keep you posted. I’m waiting to see if John Mccain picks a woman vice president. I also openly hope all the Hillary supporters that are for McCain go republican, hmmm… I feel a rant coming on.
day 2, the DNC
FoxNoise, the only channel that covers an event by… not covering an event. Also, a clever trick, showing footage of no Hillary support by zooming in on little sections of anti-McCain and Pro Obama supporters… nice job Fox, but I watched the camera coverage on MSNBC and they did Panorama shots. You may’ve heard of them, they’re used to show The Big PICTURE. Maybe you can try it some time. Oh, and Megyn Kelly, your a great actress, for the longest time you had me convinced you were a correspondent with integrity, Bravo!! You deserve an Oscar… F.Y.I. I know your not too bright, so just so you know… that’s sarcasm. Hm, apparently Fox also saw a different video intro then the rest of us… maybe they really do live in a parallel world.
On a more positive note, having watched a version that’s not talked over on MSNBC, I can say, Hillary’s speech was great, I may not trust her, but she can deliver a great speech and her supporters looked fired up and ready to go, Contrary to Foxs’ shady reporting. Can someone tell me why Rudy “A noun, a verb, and 9/11″ Guilliani is a main “goto” guy for Hannity and Colmes? Didn’t his bid end up as a punchline when he ran?
Wow, i don’t know if this is racist, an insult, or a racist backhanded insult…
I’m watching FoxNoise and Hannity and Colmes and Sean Hannity just said: “….Obama is articulate, bright… and clean…”
He’s… clean… so… why wouldn’t he be? I’ve never heard a person described like that, well i did, but it was in re-enactments of auction blocks from 400 years ago. I’m just… wow.
OMGWTFSTR8TALK?!?!111!1
Ah, the newest smear campaign of the Republican party. Obama is against babies (he has 2 daughters though…) he voted against a bill to help babies that survive abortions (though there’s a law in place that already does this), and he’s lying about us lying about his record. Obama didn’t vote on a bill that was nearly identical to a federal bill because he didn’t agree with the Illinois bill, but did agree with the Federal bill. I suppose this story would be outrageous and a scandal except the right-wingers fail to mention there were addendums tacked onto the bill that Obama didn’t agree with. Let me repeat, there were other bills, like when congress adds a motion to raise their pay on the back of a bill to send weapons to our troops or to provide them with health care. So, I suppose this is the Obama is a baby killer attack? First he might be “The One” (aka the devil) and now he’s a babysitter. All he has said… and repeatedly is he’s pro-life but believes in womens rights. How can being in favor of womens rights cause so much drama?? I also like the allusion that Obama is running because he’s conceited and doesn’t care about our countries security (yes he said that…)
And hello pot, this is kettle, I wrote a speech for you, here’s an excerpt “…All that is asked of the rest of us is that we do not dishonor their sacrifice by treating the cause they served so bravely as an opportunity to argue without wisdom; to divide us without care for the consequences; to advance our individual or partisan interests at the expense of America’s security….” (McCain’s Speech To The Members Of The Veterans Of Foreign Wars ,Published April 7, 2008) Examples:
How do you like it? Huh, what?? Why are you laughing??
Maybe I’m laughing because I remember this….
John McCain might have survived being a prisoner, but obviously they were too late to save his honor.
The Infamous Blue balled Ad….
I’m not going to say I’m a die hard Democrat but, since there only ever seems to be two parties at any given time, this election I’m firmly behind Barack Obama. This story isn’t about Barack (shock and awe) although the media would like to link him to the ad. No this particular rant is about the hilariously clever “blue Balled Ad”. Not only is the ad clever, it has very calculated lighting, look at the light the girls under and her clothes. Look at the guy and his house and his sheets. Ah, subliminal and blunt. Remember kids, Democrats are trendy, hip, cool and Republicans–not so much.
Enjoy.
Sure, there’s the point that the girl is slutty but thats besides the point so if you comment, know it’s duly noted ahead of time.
My opinion on Hillary Clinton
I’ll start off this post by saying two things up-front. I wouldn’t vote for McCain if he was the only person in the election. He’s a terribly uncharismatic speaker and his tone is so dull, I actually start getting sleepy when he speaks. I’ll probably go on about him some other time. I also want to state, that I like Obama. Sure, he’s an idealist, but lets face it, if he actually does half the things he says, we’ll be three times better off then we are. I’ll post about him later too. This post is about Hillary Clinton. I’ve never been a fan of H.C., I’ve always taken issue with her duplicitous nature and her seeming fraudulentness. I’m pretty sure McCain would be preferable over her we’re the choices up to me, thats right, I’d pick Obama, then McCain, then someone from an independent party, then an illegal immigrant, THEN H.C. The thing about the Clinton campaign is I think Bill clinton was a great president, the enviroment was on the mend, there was a surplus of money, jobs were on the rise, we weren’t at WAR…..
That said, I can’t even say i disagree with all of H.C. stances, I don’t, she and Obama are a lot similiar in their stances. the problem with Hillary Clinton…. is Hillary Clinton. “Huh, what?” you might think, let me show you commentary on some recent things she has said:
Having seen that video, maybe you see what I’m saying. Hillary feels she is preordained to be the first female President and frankly if she were, that’d be fine and dandy. The problem seems to be that although she may be right about some issues, she can’t be satisfied with being respected or a rolemodel for women, hard working white women (I guess), or any young women (no matter their color or nationality) that need to be able to see that politically females can be anything men can be. Hey, I have a daughter, I understand wanting your child to know that they are only limited by their own dreams and ambitions. My issue in particular is that no matter what it is you want to be or that you want to do you shouldn’t lie (misremember) or attempt to change the rules when your losing or even pull the gender card because it seems like it might get you what you want. Besides, it wasnt 2 months ago that this same person was saying “politics is a tough business”, unless it seems it’s her.
For the record, using assassination in the context of your opponent or using past assassinations as a reference to your campaign is the lowest of the low and anyone that says differently is basically, a moron.
