If you associate falsifying history to claim colonial experience was good, or attacking a person’s history instead of his ideas as being on the right, then you and I have a very different opinion on what ‘right’ is.
Even remotely suggesting that the colonial experience was good for countries that got occupied is a bunch of baloney no matter when it comes from a white male or the ‘uncle Tom’s.[/quote]Obama’s brother in Kenya = Uncle Tom
Obama = Worth changing parties to vote for because some little Indian guy shows that Obama is on the right side of the colonialism argument.The sad thing is that Uncle Tom in Kenya doesn’t even understand he’s been raped. Almost Patty Hearst like in his longing for bringing back the colonial criminals. Very sad.
Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=EconProf]The advertisement running for the movie “love him or hate him, you don’t know him” is especially telling.[/quote]
How so? After 4 years we still don’t know Obama?
He must me some commie mole who infiltrated our top leadership. It’s part of the plan to right world domination by white men.
The thing is that Obama’s policies have been about incremental change, preserving the establishment and continuity. Nothing radical here.[/quote]
If you define incremental change as continuing Bush’s abysmal record on human rights and trashing our civil liberties, then yes change is good. Expanding the war on drugs, that’s a bonus. Just ask Penn Teller, a classic rant.
The thing you have to ask yourself is why a leftie would be so hell bent on taking away your civil liberties. What is the end-game here? Why would a leftist even sign something like the NDAA after promising he wouldn’t. Why did he ask to have even more lethal BS be added to NDAA? Of course promise not to use it?
Frankly I want to know what makes the guy tick, so the more that can be dug up the better.

The US did break off from GB, like India did, but I’m guessing you are talking about Kenya. Obama was raised by his mother and his Anglo grandparents, then the mother and her Indonesian husband (former Dutch colony) and finally the Anglo grandparents. If I’m not mistaken he spent a couple of days with his father when he was a kid and he first went to Kenya in his late twenties. It is a major stretch to see an Indian immigrant and Obama as people with common background.[/quote]
Clearly you haven’t seen the film where it’s Obama’s actual words from his book that talks about the struggles of his fathers being such a strong part of him? It’s kind of like the theme of the whole movie….WHY? Why on earth is Obama so influenced by this man who spent almost NO time with him. Furthermore it was suggested his Indonesian father began to have some career success working for US Oil Companies. Stanley Ann resented this as he was constantly trying to get her to attend the local parties with the US executives. She truly was some kind of mixed up in the head commie, meaning she really believed in that crap from the sounds of it. So she sent Barry back home to Hawaii, she didn’t want that kind of person to be raising her son. (a guy making a good salary, rising in a corporate job, etc).
So yes under no circumstance should Obama have been influenced at all by such an absentee father, but D’Souza felt that mom was really trying to get that influence into her son. In other words for what reason does he identify so strongly with his Kenyan ancestors?
Also her father made sure to have young Barry spend what was it 3 days per week with Frank Marshall Davis? Now some conspiracy theorists who posted the nude photos of Stanley Ann, taken by Frank Marshall Davis, suggest he is the actual father, but D’Souza doesn’t go that route, he simply wonders who would want a person like Frank as a mentor to young kid? I grew up in a UAW household with a father who HATES republicans with every fiber in his being even at 64, and he wouldn’t have imagined taking me to be mentored by some strange commie three times per week.
All he’s really trying to show is who had an influence on BHO and why. Good to know you and D’Souza are asking the same question, however I suspect he’s more interested in the answer than you.
Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=CardiffBaseball]I keep hearing for a documentary without a huge promotional push it’s doing pretty well but I had to drive to downtown Orlando to watch it. So if it doesn’t get more widespread this week, it’s going away soon.[/quote]
I won’t be watching it until its free on Netflix so I can use FF on the remote.
But it’s interesting that one would likely have to drive to an independent theater in a liberal enclave to watch this kind of movie (or depending on your area, go to where indie films are frequently shown).[/quote]
It did surprisingly well this weekend. Per Theater avg. was #1, but with limited theaters it was #8. Now while it doesn’t have the mass release and marketing that Farenheit 911 did, bear in mind that 122 million in sales didn’t change the outcome of the election. So I don’t see the film as some kind of bellwether.

Do you know how many positions that are being eliminated in San Diego?[/quote]No I don’t know, but there are a lot of software resumes hitting the market.
Participant[quote=paramount]I’m sure this is not news and I won’t go into details except to say that defense is getting hit pretty hard right now in San Diego.[/quote]
SAIC’s relocation to the East Coast will be complete around the first quarter of next year. The only thing remaining will be those supporting contracts with business units that have a local presence. All corporate functions, IT/Finance/AP-AR/Treasury/HR and exec management moving to the east coast.
ParticipantI keep hearing for a documentary without a huge promotional push it’s doing pretty well but I had to drive to downtown Orlando to watch it. So if it doesn’t get more widespread this week, it’s going away soon.
ParticipantNCC is insane. Just my dominant LL team had two D1 OLB/DEs, big huge guys with speed still. Plus a professional golfer who’s son hit 23 home runs. In fact the 4 counting my kid hit 50 home runs in LL. Crazy. Not that I was a big-time athlete but looking back I’d have gone further not being from the sticks in Ohio.
On two occasions we eliminated RSF LL in the playoffs, and one Trevor was there hanging out on the fence to watch his kid. Brett Boone, Black Jack McDowell, David Wells, and Kirk Mckaskil’s kid. Now you have Steve Finley’s kid doing well. You literally have no idea who might be moving in from the sports world it’s just a great place to live, and if you have some extra scratch why not? I used to follow Mo Williams on Twitter when he was a Cavalier and he was tweeting all the time about moving to SD. Steve Kerr comes to mind, from our old HS Rick Aguilera and Brian Sipe. Seau’s son was a beast too.
Our LL field was actually overshadowed by the YMCA skate facility as you surely know screaltor and when Shawn White was there you couldn’t get the kids to pay attention. We actually erected a giant net to help protect the skateboarders who were getting pelted with home run balls. Tony Hawk of course was over there sometimes, though I didn’t notice him anytime I was over there. An ex Brownie, Jerry Sherk liked to hang around in Cardiff.
However the number of kids who had parents that played high level NCAA athletics was just insane we just didn’t have that where I came from in Ohio. I remember this somewhat feeble older guy about 6’2″ who had kids apparently at a late age and I remember thinking man his son is so athletic, I wonder why. Turns out pops played volleyball back at Stanford it was just that he was more like 57 to my 38. One lady who coached LL her husband was this huge guy, who was an electrician but turns out he was the starting QB for one season at Illinois. Another kid in the LL his dad was a DE for the Rams another huge guy. I’ve never been around so many ex-athletes whether it be pro or D1 college.
ParticipantI wanted to watch the Boston-NYY game followed by the Giants-Dodgers. Since I am apparently not very manly, I lose the big-screen tonight.
Since I have it on I am hoping to hear the Pink Floyd thing I’ve seen rumored on Twitter.
Participant[quote=Username]You guys really think the cold weather will end the protests? Doesn’t anyone remember the Wisconsin protest last year? Personally I think Scott Walker’s days are numbered and the only reason he hasn’t been recalled yet is because he hadn’t been in office a full year (as required by state law). Those protests were in F’in Wisconsin in February and still the turn out was pretty good. I think the thing that finally ended them was the recall elections. OWS numbers might go down, but it’s amazing how much free time you have when you don’t have a job.
Also class warfare has been going on for the last 30 years by the folks at the top who put short term profits over long term stability. Outsourcing production has destroyed the working class and in the end cannibalized the demand for their products. Henry Ford paid workers $5 a day and sold an affordable car, as a result his workers purchased the cars they produced and his company was successful.
“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” John Steinbeck[/quote]
Well, what now? Scott Walker lives on, is this a big blow to Obama? The naivety in this post is simply assuming that the anger of the protestors would result in democrat sweeps across the country. Most of those angered enough to March probably aren’t going to be too interested in either of the two standard parties.
ParticipantBloomberg, regarding my 24-oz. Low-Carb Monster, only with my cold dead hands will you remove that drink.
(of course the entire f’ing subway system in NYC only seems to sell Red Bull). I guess the low-sugar versions are safe, but I am warning you Bloomberg don’t screw with my energy drink
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]I’d like to see how meteorology majors there are on the PSU football team[/quote]
Ha Ha probably not too many. Still I’d hate to see these professors earn a decent living, they should be paid what the common man makes since clearly that’s what they want for the larger world.
One of these bozos suggested that speaking out against man-made global warning ought to be a crime against humanity. Yes right up there with Hitler and Napoleon I’m sure.
Participant[quote=CONCHO]I wonder how many professors make that kind of money at Penn State? Says something about our collective system of values.[/quote]
I’d rather see the football coach paid well than some of these Penn State “Climate Ethics professors” and frankly I can’t stand their football team.
ParticipantAhh Ghosting, a time-honored tradition on the interwebs…
