You know, I'm starting to agree with Lotus Feet.
This salon (saloon?) has too many Harvard educated malingering whiners threatening to riot, emigrate, burn baby burn if they don't get their way.
If they don't volunteer for this noble mission, I don't see any realistic alternative to a Marx On Mars We're Doing What's Best Fo You Draft.
They don't like the term, "socialism," well then let's give them "POOPM" - Progressive Out of this world Opportunities on Mars.
I was drafted and reluctantly served in Vietnam, and, when I look back, I realize it was one of the best things that happened to me.
These Harvard educated Salonniks may not like having to go to Mars at first, but once they get up there and really start sharing and building a new world together and having responsible sex together up there, they will see that their slightly less than voluntary exile from the corrupt and selfish Earth was one of the best things that could have happened to them too.
Basing your politics on hope is kind of ignorant I think.
Did Moses hope that the Pharoah would just get tired of working his people to death?
Did George Washington just hope the English would decide to leave us alone?
Did Wellington just hope that Napoleon would go away?
Did Lincoln just hope that Alabamans would get tired of beating proud slaves to death?
Did Eisenhower plan on just telling the Nazis he hoped they would start being nice and go home to Berlin?
Now all this Obama hope seems hopelessly ridiculous, doesn't it?
Have 30 to 52 percent of American voters turned into a kind of cargo cult who believe that BHO is is the answer to all their hopeful prayers?
Are we being asked to vote for a kind of hysterical fantasy?
What is going on here?
Here is yet another example of arrogant liberals incapable of seeing themselves as others see them - smug elitists.
This is like those commenting on the small town Americans and calling them "yokels."
You think they do not understand their own self interest (getting more checks and handouts I guess), and you think you know what's best for them and one of Obamabot even suggested testing for voters.
You actually need to worry about the possibility of an angry, entitled President and First Lady.
Read what they have written, listen to what they have said, look at their fascination with thinkers like Alinsky, Carmichael and Fannon, look at the people who have been close to them such as mad dog preacher Jeremiah Wright, terrorrists Ayers and Dohrn, and sleazy businessmen funded by Syrian slimes such as Antonin Rezko, and the ultra corrupt Stroger Boys, who run Cook County like their private club.
Yes, people revert to their deepest beliefs and to their fundamental personality traits when they experience great stress and strain. Isn't the moderation and reasonableness now coming from their lips a little inauthentic? Isn't it quite possible that if you do pull off a narrow victory, we'd be subjected to what leftists have always done when they were under stress and when they realized what they would have to do to win and maintain power? Stalin called his yokels "kulaks". Mao called his reactionary yokels "rich peasants," like his father who he hated. Of course you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. Do you think Barry and Michelle could be that cold blooded?. I do.
I think an increasing number of voters are looking at Obama's run for The Presidency as the ultimate con job, while your exclusive little, self congratuatulating sorority is thrilled that Ba Ba Wa Wa, Bett Midler and Whoopsie are not comfortable with a plain speaking hero like John McCain and his lovely and gracious wife
Marx On Mars BY 2012!
This program is the answer to all the divisive nastiness. Collectivism and redistribution and peaceful coexistance just might work up there where the vibes are different.
Opus and all of BB's little children, especially Bill the Cat, should stay here, and first let those on Mars show us left behind selfish Earthniks just how well their ideas can work up there.
In the meantime, maybe the librals can visualize what would happen back here if Michelle and the girls were kidnapped by terrorists, and, the one guy caught from the group of kidnappers, after about a half hour of mock drowning, gives up his colleagues and the Obama Family is saved.
Librals seem to think that wishing something to be so, makes it so, or, hoping something to be so, makes it so. So we can hope that there might be some gentlemanly way to combat terrorism. I don't think Danny Pearl would have gone to Pakistan and trusted the healing power of dialogue had he not have been so thoroughly versed in this kind of wishful thinking.
My Momma back in Budapest said so much hate not good for us.
After 8 years frothing the mouth hating Bush, doncha think enuf's enuf with the hate already, my frems?
So, what you gonna do, spend the next 16 1/2 years hating Madam Palin?
Better you go Mars. Get the life you want on Mars where people will have to share and be nice to each other. All the Muslems up there will be nice and friendly too.
No Republicans, no hunters, no small town peoples allowed; just good, big hearted progressive peoples who don't hunt or even fish like Mister Palin who will be running for President in 2024, or Bristol who will be a very young Grandma by then.
