Of course, my opinion is biased and my goal in life isn't to impress the likes of you! Thanks for stopping by though.
Comparing him to Jim Jones is not, I think, the wisest choice in this post. Particularly since you later say, "I don’t think Obama is a bad man." That sort of internal inconsistency does nothing to correct the (inaccurate) stereotype of conservatives as unintelligent, emotion-driven, and irrational. Not that you are, of course: I'm thinking of image here.
Finally, kudos for bringing up Obama's voting record.
This is a legitimate topic of discussion in the campaign: unlike rather wild assertions that Obama is a sort of Islamic fifth columnist. (His father's an apostate Muslim - that doesn't mean that Mr. Obama is an Islamic terrorist).
Obama's voting record is one of the reasons that I'm very unlikely to vote for him in the election. One of his apologists said that, as a very junior congressman, he had to vote the way his party told him to: I'm not convinced.
I'm not comparing his character/ideology to that of Jim Jones. I am simply saying that his followers are cultic in nature and like Jim Jones, he is passionate, charismatic and a very good communicator. Perhaps a deceiver as well.
Thank you for your comments.
@ Beth
You are correct about Jim Jones. He was actually a very likable, nice man before he went pshcyo.
Thank you for visiting.
We all remember the media frenzy over the hysterical Sanjiya fans on American Idol. Obabma's followers have the same craze going and media is totally cool with it. Except no people aren't buying in to crappy music, they're buying in to some skewed politics.
I've said it once and I'll say it again, Obama is the kind of guy who convinces you something like genocide is cool and trendy. Sound familiar?
Yeah, but I never thought George Bush was that great a speaker.
I didn't know about votesmart.org until now. Thanks for the info.
But we all know that, generally, libs are not rational.
As soon as the Obama messiah gets his wings clipped and is seen as just another politician, the fainting and cool-aid drinking will surely stop.
I still believe that Barack will most probably win this election. That is not what I want but it is the most likely outcome.
My problem with him is he is being painted as the "great moderater" to "bring people together" yet out of the entire US Senate he is the MOST liberal. Not anywhere in the middle; he is number one on one end. He is not an average middle of the road uniting politician.
He is also a politician. His cult is trying to put him above the politics. He is a mediocre politician at best, not a good debator, a good speaker.
You guys (conservatives) have done a great job of making the tag "liberal" a bad word. Then you add the qualifier MOST to it and Barack becomes some type hippie. The truth is all of these labels are relative. Barry Goldwater is spinning in his grave because of what passes as conservative these days. Now McCain has "court" so-called conservatives in his own party. In my opinion the labels don't mean anything in the abstract. You don't know how you feel about abortion until a loved one is raped and is pregnant. You don't know how you feel about gay marriage unless you are gay yourself because if you are not, it has zero impact in your life. I'm liberal about some things and more conservative about others. I suspect most people fall into that way of thinking as well. You conservatives like to tell people who they can marry, who they can have sex with, which religion is the "right" one to follow. I get you on the tax thing but cuts should be even and fair. You guys like to go after poor people for some reason. I never understood that.
It's not like there are any bills being put forward to nationalize the oil industry or to sing the praises of Karl Marx. These are the kind of bills that would rate a 10 on the most liberal scale (at least in the minds of conservatives).
But in the US, our entire political spectrum pretty much ends in the middle, so it only makes sense that someone on the far left is a moderate.
Yes, you are correct my friend. Liberal is a very naughty word and it's destroying my beloved country. Look around you at our society. It's falling a part, fast! And, when I say liberal, I am not referring to you. I am referring to the ultra left crowd like Code Pink, George Soros, Moveon.org, etc. The reality is that we need to have people with different beliefs to balance out this country. Besides, if we were all conservative, who in the heck else would I poke fun at in this blog?
Btw - look out for my post "Liberal Minded, You've Been Blinded" later this weekend. I explain in full detail what being liberal minded really means. I am sure it'll piss you off and many others too! LOL.
good day.
moreover, yes b. hussein obama is the most liberal member of the senate. not even teddy or hillary would support depriving the LIVING babies of BOTCHED late term abortions the medical care necessary to survive. once his real positions, or lack thereof, are once and all revealed the novelty will wear off.
Thanks for coming by Urban. Yes, you are young. I am 34 and consider myself young too!! : )

Conversely, when he was questioned in a recent TV debate by Tim Russert as to his relationship with Louis Farrakhan, Obama very reverently referred to him as Minister Farrakhan like the members of the Nation of Islam do.

EARMARKS:
Obama joined with other lawmakers last year to obtain almost $100 million worth of earmarks for Illinois. Clinton worked with others to win $342 million in pet projects for New York
CAMPAIGN FUNDING:
Obama, who last year promised to also accept public money in the general election if his GOP opponent did so, has since hedged on that vow.
Public financing: Obama replied "yes" in September 2007 when asked if he would agree to public financing of the presidential election if his GOP opponent did the same. Obama has now attached several conditions to such an agreement, including regulating spending by outside groups. His spokesman says the candidate never committed himself on the matter.
ACCORDING TO HIS OWN FEC (FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION) FILINGS HIS CAMPAIGN HAS RECIEVED MONEY FROM:
Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Capital One, Bank of Montreal, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Butterfield Bank, Resource Bank, Bain Capital, Mutual of America, Telemundo, La Pietra, Sankatt Investments, Transamerica Investment Mgmt., US Venture Partners, Sony Pictures, Warner Music Group, IBM, Lehman Bros., AT&T, Ticketmaster, Alantos Pharmaceuticals, 20th Century Fox, Aragon Global, UCLA Medical Center, AHMC Healthcare Inc., AV International, Fidelity Ventures, Clifford Law Firm, CCMP Capital, Cypruss Funds Investment Mgmt., Kaman Group, Solimar Ventures, Comcast, Sterne Assets, Citilink Investment Corp., Third Security, COSTCO, Sun Capitol Partners, Tudor Investment, Madison Investment, EMC Capital Mgmt., Bel Air Investment, Mirel Capital, Grandhara Capital, Lehman Bros., GB Capital, Citadel Investments, etc.

Liberal is a four letter word at my house. Lbrl. See?
Truth About Black Liberal Theology
For the life of me, I can't understand why people keep trying to revive forms of government that have been proved not to work. Marxism/Communism/Socialism have not worked in the societies they have been tried. Why try it here?
Our system works, but people keep trying to make it into a system that doesn't work.
The other thing I don't understand is that the very people who dream of a communist/socialist society are the ones who don't survive in those societies. Take Communist China - what happens to people who openly oppose their government officials? We don't know because they aren't heard from again. What about Russia? A group of journalists exposed that Putin had a mistress last week and their newspaper was shut down the next morning and those journalists are .... we don't know where they are. Why doesn't the NYTs have anything to say about that? Aren't they concerned that if they take control ove the gov't out of the hands of the people that they will end up where ever those Russian journalists are?
If we keep putting the "politically established" in office time and again we have to accept that nothing will change. Those people already have formed their political allegiance to big business contributors and special interest groups.
Simply re-locating them down the street a mile to the white house will not sever those ties.
McCain represents many years of those ties and will not offer change, only same-ole' same-ole' but from a different address.
It is time to replace all of them...congress included. Change can't happen with the same actors year after year.
Take a deep breath - of Barack Obama.

Mitt Romney showed the wisdom Nobama other would have in 100 years
Mcain (experienced, pro-war on sadam's formerUN petrosystems Iraq next to Iran swearing "vaporize any") - Romney (wisdom, terror-save economy performance innovator, ex: Massachussets)...
Mitt Romney supported John Mcain. That support guarantyed former POW the candidacy to save media propaganda (for free and wich actualiberal's propaganda machinery elects 90's, 70's sama people anti-American, anti-God at schools, anti-Irak next to famous Iran war) Mcain did'nt have, and unknown if so today.
But is because of "littlethings" like sites&people like this, + free Media resisting demachinery, Mcain recieved path to the WH (an anti-terrorist civilian or soldier know that kind of promisses involving God's eternal battle plan commitment).
+ Romney is a proven formidable Media-debater, God concept (an ancestral universal-celestial idea church, not to different to Catholic), economy innovator, showed wisdom by just do not hit Mcain, strategy opportunity to assalt ohNobama's propaganda machinery again, even with hillary or a robot with the mind of santurronfidel "the political architect), even a totaly ilusionary I'm suuure it won't never happend bhNobama-"wbush" nightmare "team" (also I'm sure and put "my hands into fire" if do so") "wbush" "kissing chave$'s oropelesco petro-ring, "making Frodo's gesture and smile naightmare I had the other night woke me up".
I'm sure that it is not necesary JW Bush kisses Your Sanctity Pope's holly ring just to "let me sleep at knight without those "kind of stresses" in the middle of the mist (+ eatting full before sleep + the big soda)...
your ideal site to read what you need, the "world" of social, national, global, programed, sodomic, blasfemic brain, ideas. well, there is a site, matching perfectly, very, with you: granma, the same voting minds, like "choosenone" husseiNobama, like manuelnoriega people, like castro's, chavez, anabelenmontes's people, and so on, shall never pass the security check on terror. That's why even on popularity, with their own Media, the mayority minority ruling conservatives, as currently happens, even with "the fatest fish" and foreing terrordictators or local actualiberal "icons", powerfully positioned, the best healthcare, houses, etc. eternaly can not pass half Bush's popularity % while Bush is not even campaigning... and wrowing, while Nobama grew ONLY 1% "since hillary".
I think you guys are not doing much by preaching to the choir. Use the evidence that Obama is not suitable to run this country (or any liberal) from our sources and try viewing the articles in Taylor Marsh's archives. Plenty of ammo.
Hope to see you helping us in the fight against liberal blogs.
--No matter what your political convictions are this is eye opener. What a thankless people we are!!!
Subject: Jay Leno on President Bush (Surprising)
Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....
As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.
'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?''
A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
E.. Maybeit is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?
F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.
I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.
K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be t he same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it.
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discha rge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book abou t how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is expodentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessedpeople on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with thethreat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

I have my opinions on what Obama truly believes, and for that I won't vote for him. But the question to everyone else is...given his transition from hard left'er in the Primaries to centrist post-nomination, what will he do while in office? He obviously has no marriage to any of his stated intentions, so there's absolutely no telling what the man will do as President. I hope and believe that he'll be the centrist he's moving toward now (he's got term 2 to think about, y'know!), but we just don't know what he intends to do.
Now- I'm a Leftist Moderate, not a Moderate Leftist (those guys are insufferable!) mind you, and every one of the bullet points of things Obama supports that you all are supposed to oppose, I agree with completely. I'm not just trying to make a point, I actually completely agree with what Obama has supported in the past. I'm always open to learning about different view points other than mine and you all might know something about all of this that I don't. That being said, if anyone wanted to tell me why I'm supposed to disagree with the above points, I'd be all for listening. Or, reading rather.
I didn't read any of the other comments, besides our good friend Osama's, so if someone else was already talking about this, sorry.
Electing an inexperienced President. Note that he will be given 2 months between the election and the inauguration. In that time he can choose his cabinet and set out the game plan for the beginning of his term. He will take office peacefully, in a general spirit of goodwill, and (something near) more than 50% of the electorate will be (at least somewhat) pleased that he's President.
Having an inexperienced President take office immediately during a time of crisis. Due to a sudden death (a la Johnson after Kennedy) might be more shocking, but also elicit sympathy making the job easier. Taking over after a career-ending scandal (a la Ford after Nixon) could be a worse nightmare, depending on how closely the VP is linked to the scandal.
Didn't we get experience when Bush Jr. was elected........and what was the result? Anyway you slice it it ain't good! Now we have a 26 year vet of congress, running as a maverick who had dined with all the big time lobbyist in Washington. Change will follow McCain to Washington? Exactly what will change? Maybe the number of dead in Iraq, but not much else.
We can't afford another liar in office
