I'm grateful for Barack Obama

My sappy Thanksgiving post got more serious as I watched the Mumbai tragedy unfold.

    And a few plate-scrapings for the trolls...

    @ Box Pilot:

    I'm grateful for obama for being pro abortion if we are ever going to be able to keep the violence down in this country, abortion is the way!!! Abortions are predominately performed on blacks and everyone is aware of the fact that blacks are 12% of the population but commit 75% of the crimes in this country. But we can not dare stat the facts or we are Racist!!! I'm not a Racist!!! I'M JUST HONEST!!!! AND NOT AFRAID TO STATE THE FACTS!!!!!!!

    Aw, how cute. You're trying to give us your own 'Modest Proposal', aren't you? How unfortunate that you are no Jonathan Swift. In point of fact you're a craven, pathetically small-minded coward.

    Don't want an abortion? Don't get one. Don't want your church organist to get an abortion? Don't knock her up in the first place. Don't want all those dirty, poor, awful, violent dark-skinned people to get abortions? Stop denying them access to contraception.

    Or... you could show some real courage and actually talk to one of those people you're so afraid of.

    @genbartow:

    Look what it got us ???

    It only got us 7 years of no attacks on American soil

    and a solid foothold in the Middle East to fight Iranian

    expansionism, terror export nuclear attack ambitions.

    You would be better served to keep your mouth shut and pray that Obama's next 7 years will be as peaceful for

    Americans.

    You talk like some snuff-dippin', NASCAR-watchin', Dubya-luvvin' badass... but really you're just another coward getting his body cheese all over Our Flag.

    Here's the kernel, the core sentiment, of your post: "keep your mouth shut and pray".

    Bad news, gb: you just failed the patriotism test. Please remit your citizenship to the proper authorities (or any authority figure who gives you morning wood). A true Son or Daughter of Liberty doesn't say "keep your mouth shut and pray"; a boot-licking, RWA despot-felcher does.

    So yeah: big plate of FAIL for you, geeb.

    I see two possible remedies for your situation:

    1. Enlist. Stuff your pasty blivet ass into some camo. Get thee to Iee-rrAack and hold that fucking line against "Iranian expansionism".

    Or...

    2. You know who's all hopped up on "keep your mouth shut and pray"? That's right, geeb: Iee-rrAnn. They loves them some a that shit over there.

    Go on, man. Un-closet thyself.
