Original article: Can Obama be deprogrammed?

Most folks wouldn't know a real liberal if they came up and hit them on the head

Obama's official policies, look at them - Nixon was more liberal.

The whole nation has moved to the right. But honestly would you call Nixon a liberal? Just because the so called "right" has fallen off the map to the land of the insane, and the Democrats have moved into the spot where the Republicans use to be just a few short years ago before the 'god' insanity took them away. Doesn't make the Democrats liberal. They are actually conservatives. The Republicans are insane, and most folks have never met a real liberal.

Here is a hint "Single Payer" - that is a liberal healthcare policy, it is not even on the table, not an option in reform -why? because there are NO liberals in Washington.

Here is a hint ERA & Gay rights - that is a liberal social policy, and it has zero - ZERO traction in DC because there are no liberals in the capital.

Instead of throwing money at the Wall Street bail out - using it for healthcare (here is a hint we gave more money to AGI and Wall Street then the worse estimates for health care cost) - that would be liberal, and that is not what you got.

Ending the war, investigating torture, and not living in terror and whining due to fear of terrorist - that is a liberal policy, and you are never going to see.

If you want to meet liberals, you are going to have to look outside of the two main parties, because they don't have any - liberal actually means something, not just a random slur that the nuts use on anyone who thinks.

Ecological Wisdom

Non-Violence

Decentralization

Community Based Economics

Feminism

Diversity

Future Focus

-- these are liberal values, and no one in the Democratic party stands for any of these values.

Original article: "This is my no, no square!"

OK that was good

"Somebody said once that the best abstinence education is hearing your parents talk about sex in clinical detail."

I like that - instead of paying for these expensive abstinence experts to teach sex ed - randomly pick parents from the student population and have them come in and give a clinical presentation - the kids will die of embarrassment and not think of sex for years, might even need therapy, but they wouldn't be messing around. (ok, I am still laugh at that, when my 16 year comes home I'll ask her what she thinks of the ideal)

Natural Born Citizen

Is one who is born on US soil OR whose mother is a US citizen.

Lots of American kids are born overseas, and they are all American natural born citizens.

His mother is from Kansas and a US citizen -- if she had given birth on Mars, then Obama would still be a natural born citizen, just like all the other US citizens born abroad.

For the last time if your MOTHER is a US Citizen, no matter where in the world you are born, you are a Natural born citizen.

I am sick of the morons.

McCain was born overseas in Panama, and is a natural born citizen, not because he was born on a military base --- which by the way is not US soil, only Embassies are - but because his Mother was a US citizen.

hmarian

Its because you carried a duel citizenship --if you'd just had an American passport from birth you wouldn't have to go through any of that -- I grew up in Hong Kong -- my mom is a US citizen, and I had a US passport from birth, no issues. No naturalization necessary.

The US government doesn't like duel citizenships, and for along time didn't allow them for US citizens.

Original article: No more Mr. Nice Guy

Mostly guys posting here about what women want

- they want more aggressive .. yeah, yeah bull -- you are a guy, you don't know what women want..and honestly most women don't give it a lot of thought. They don't sit around thinking what do I want in a guy. They go hey, I like him, he is kind of ...whatever.

The issue is the guy getting no interest from the women, are watching the guys who are dating,are married and projecting from what they see on why the woman must like in that guy. And for the most part they are wrong. EVERY woman wants something different, there are NO rules. And when you try doing what you think is working for the other guy, it fails, because you are being fake.

Fake is obvious to a woman, and it is a warning sign this guys is a crazy, woman hater who wants laid, keep your voice calm, say you are nice, but I am married and get a way from the crazy person as fast as possible.

But, but you say, I don't hate women, I am nice guy that is why I am failing... calling bullshit here, you are not nice guys, you don't actually like women, you want to fuck a pretty woman like in your porn films.. and you are scaring the BJ out of the women you are talking to and they can't wait to get away from you
