I'd believe them if they could demonstrate that the President's goal was to hurt us.

But they are saying that socialism is an indicator of his hatred for this country. How does that make any sense?

If he was a socialist, which he isn't, that would demonstrate a will to help, not hinder, the people of the US. But even his current actions are showing a general will to want prosperity for Americans.


I could understand, but would disagree with, the argument that his actions are not going to succeed. But suggesting that Obama has a malicious intent towards the US and its citizens is bullshit.


It's motherfucking bullshit. I wouldn't even suggest that about Bush and he was a fucking asshole. I just think Bush and his administration had other priorities in mind and didn't care what harm fell upon us.


I don't understand how they could honestly believe that the President of the United States of America is treasonous.

I just don't get it.

2. They don't know what socialism means. They think HItler was
a socialist, and that the USSR was a socialist country.

4. "Socialism," to them, is anything they dislike.
As in, "That six-week old egg salad in the refrigerator has gone socialist."

5. There is nothing about President Obama
that even hints at the kind of malevolent designs that Beck and his wingnut minions incessantly talk about him having on our country and/or its wingnut citizens. Of course, they ascribed all kinds of malevolent intentions to Clinton/Gore when they were in office and they basically do it to anybody with a "D" after their name, ESPECIALLY when they are out of power for any length of time. Of course, trying to explain that to anybody brainwashed by Fox News that Limbaugh, Beck, and their ilk are manipulating them via rampant lies, innuendo, and smears into believing all kinds of horrible things about President Obama and the Democrats for their own political gain- always at the expense of the people- is usually a waste of time and oxygen. President Obama probably doesn't obsess over his poll numbers and I know that he's willing to be a one-term President if necessary but neither is he willing to immolate his country to achieve...................????? :shrug:

7. Oh it's quite clear by now who wants the US to fail.
They want the stimulus to fail.
They wanted Cash For Clunkers to fail
They are thrilled at the prospect of another 911.
They think our Health Care System is the best in the world.
They were giddy at our elimination from contention for the 2016 Olympics.
And they post online push-polls regarding the assasination of our president.
No more clues. Even the dullest knuckle dragging neanderthal can figure this out.
