“partypup, besides my insults, I’m sorry but that’s ome of what I think of you. However, let’s have some intelligence discourse. I’ve already asked you in my last post. I’ll be more pointed:
1. What are you going to do about these issues that Obama has “flip-flopped” on that concern you? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT THEM? I’M NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. I DON’T HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE OBAMA RETRACT HIS THREATS AGAINST PAKISTAN. OR MAKE HIM CHANGE HIS FISA VOTE. PLENTY OF HIS SUPPORTERS TRIED TO DO THAT ON HIS WEBSITE, TO NO AVAIL. HE SIMPLY DISAVOWED A PLEDGE AND DID WHAT HE WANTED TO. IT’S A PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS.
2. What do you mean to accomplish here with your abrasive post? PLEASE DETAIL HOW MY POST WAS ABRASIVE. WAS IT ABRASIVE BECAUSE YOU DISAGREED WITH IT? NO ONE ELSE COMMENTED THAT IT WAS “ABRASIVE” Is your goal to make us “aware” of the “evil” establishment? MY GOAL IS TO EXPRESS MY OPINION. I KNOW THAT IN MARION-WORLD, THIS WOULD BE A CRIME. FORTUNATELY, WE AREN’T PART OF YOUR WORLD.
3. Are you trying to warn us that the first black president will be a “disaster”? I’M WARNING THAT THIS COUNTRY — REGARDLESS OF WHO BECOMES PRESIDENT — IS FACING A DISASTER OF EPIC PROPORTIONS ON A POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LEVEL. THE COLOR OF THE TOOL’S SKIN IS COMPLETELY INCIDENTAL AND IRRELEVANT TO ME, AS IT SHOULD BE TO YOU.
4. Do you not think he’s capable of changing his mind once in office? MOST CERTAINLY. HE WILL NO DOUBT CHANGE HIS MIND ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS, SINCE HE LACKS ANYTHING RESEMBLING A CORE. BUT YOU WON’T LIKE THE CHANGES, MARION. UNLESS YOU HAVE NO DESIRE TO MAINTAIN YOUR FREEDOMS.
5. You said you’re voting for a “third party”. How effective do you see that being taking into account that the next president of the United States will be either A. Democrat B. Republican C. Democrat or Republican? SEE, THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM IN YOUR THINKING. YOU SIMPLY ACCEPT THE CHOICES THAT ARE GIVEN TO YOU. IF YOU AND OTHERS WERE TO SIMPLY REJECT THE TWO CHOICES, NEITHER WOULD POSSIBLY WIN. I COVERED THIS IN ANOTHER POST IN MORE DETAIL. I RECENTLY WATCHED “JOHN ADAMS” ON HBO AND WAS REMINDED THAT 18TH CENTURY COLONISTS WERE FACING A VERY SIMILAR DILEMMA WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE. THE MAJORITY, LARGELY COMPLACENT, FELT THAT THE ODDS OF DEFEATING THE WELL-ARMED AND WELL-FUNDED CROWN WERE SIMPLY TOO GREAT TO EVEN BOTHER CHALLENGING IT. BUT GRADUALLY, AND SLOWLY, THE INDIGNITIES GREW, THE ANGER GREW, AND THE BREACHES OF LIBERTIES GREW, UNTIL FINALLY THE MINORITY SWELLED INTO THE MAJORITY AND SIMPLY REJECTED THE REALITY THAT THE CROWN WAS DESTINED TO RULE THEM. YOU MUST THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, MARION. IF WE STAY ON THIS PATH, IT’S OVER. YOU THINK I WHINE? YOU THINK I’M A DOOMER? THE LIGHT AND HOPE I GIVE YOU IS THIS: WE DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE OUR FUTURE, BUT WE MUST FIRST ABANDON OUR COMPLACENCY. I’VE DONE THAT. AND OTHERS ARE BEGINNING TO, AS WELL. YOU CAN’T BRING YOURSELF TO DO THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU ARE NOT OFFENDED BY MEDIOCRITY AND DON’T MIND SUCCUMBING TO IT.
6. In short, what is the purpose of this thread you started? What are you trying to get accross besides the presumption that Obama is Satan? I DON’T RECALL EVER REFERRING TO OBAMA AS SATAN. MY POINT IS THAT YOU AND MANY OTHERS ARE BEING LULLED INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY IN BELIEVING THAT OBAMA IS SOMEHOW BETTER THAN MCCAIN. THEY ARE FUNDED BY THE SAME DEEP POCKETS AND ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF TWO PARTIES THAT HAVE ALL BUT MERGED. PELOSI RULES OUT IMPEACHMENT FOR THE BIGGEST WAR CRIMINAL IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY; THE DEMOCRATS REPEATEDLY FUND THIS INSANE WAR, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY ELECTED TO END IT; AND THEY HAVE WILLINGLY HANDED OVER OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES TO BUSH IN THE PATRIOT ACT AND VARIOUS EXTENSIONS THEREOF.
WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT IT’S A SHELL GAME? YOU ARE BEING OFFERED A CHOICE OF CHICKEN OR FISH, AND BOTH HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY THE SAME CHEF — AND BOTH ENTREES ARE POISONOUS. YOU OBVIOUSLY LABOR UNDER THE DELUSION THAT BECAUSE OBAMA IS BLACK AND A DEMOCRAT YOU WILL FARE BETTER UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION. AS I TOOK PAINS TO EXPLAIN IN MY ORIGINAL POST, HIS POSITIONS ARE NOW BEGINNING TO COALESCE WITH MCCAIN’S. YOU THINK THIS IS DUE TO POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE; I DISAGREE. SADLY, I WON’T BE PROVEN RIGHT UNTIL HE IS ELECTED.
