Well my friends, it's times like this I have to reassure myself that it really is just too, too funny how the supporters of bush, who was the most worst president EVER, have to rush here to try and defend the dolt palin, who is a dumb tart AND a hunter, who even has guns in the house. Disgusting!
This woman is just so completely irrelevent it is not EVEN funny. I am tired of dismissing her. Get out of my head, palin!
Anyways, we all know she stands zero chance of influencing the next election. Said election has already been won.Obama has done a bang on job of restoring America's standing in the world and soon unemployment will be back down to the usual 5 percent.Green shoots of recovery are everywhere and the dollar will soon return to its former strength, which will be a GOOD thing under Obama, but which was a BAD thing when bush co was invading certain foreign nations and serving plastic turkeys to the troops.
Yes, palin is finished.Tis sad indeed that she was ever even a factor. But hey, logic never was the repubs strong suite.

Well, it really is too funny (and too predictable) that the few remaining supporters of bush, worst president in ALL of US history, are tilting at sawmills on this one.Said tilters are still bitter about last November's shellacking, but hey, being reality-based never was their strong suite.
Well, anyways, extreme kudos to Obama on this one.The image of America, under Obama, just continues to improve each and every day.All of my students say so.His speeches and textbooks continue to sell like crazy, and giving the innocent men and boys locked up in the inhuman gulag in Gitmo only boosts said sales.I myself am looking for a wiki tutorial on how to partition my i pod.Why?So I can listen to TWO of President Obama's speeches at once.And if the sargies of the world don't like it well, it's just how I roll, dammit!
Anyways, the carte blanching of the Muslim world (not just in Palestine) by bush co and the illegal rendition flights are a thing of the past, and clearly America under Obama is safer for it.

sushisake3:"Conservatives - generally the "war-friendly" type - want the president to make a decision by 5pm yesterday."
Bangingly spot on as usual, mate. It was conservatives who made Kennedy and Johnson go into Vietnam and it was the stupid conservatives who made Truman get involved with Korea only to discover there was no oil there for them to plunder.And let's not forget it was conservatives who forced Wilson and Roosevelt into not one but TWO world wars. Disgusting!
Well, anyways, President Obama just continues to amaze, and evreything is coming up roses, and the Taliban will stop giving Islam a bad name soon enough.It might take another speech from Obama, or it might take another book, but it WILL come. THAT is how wars are won!

Well, that still doesn't mean he was just a lone apple who snapped his marbles after what bush, who was the worst president ever from the get-go, did by illegally invading Afghanistan and Iraq (and forgetting to plant WMDs there,duh!) and causing MILLIONS of young Islamic men to become terrorists (even though their religion is the same as all others and all others have THEIR share of extremists I might add).Anyways, methinks this poor man will be jailed by the compassionate Obama administration,but he will be allowed brief forays from prison, to maybe go on The View (I LOVE that show) or Hardball or Matt Lauer's show, something bush would NEVER allow!

Well, it's refreshing to read an article that is so refreshingly bang-on about President Obama's absolutely brilliant handling of Afghanistan. Clearly, said handling is clearly far better than it EVER could have been when bush, who was the worst president of all time from the get-go, was having it occupied so he could get the petroleum there to his oil buddies. The days of carte blanching, blasting down peoples' doors and using the Holy Koran for target practice are over.Deal with it, wingers!
Obama's books and speeches continue to fly off the shelf and when the Taliban, which is just a handful of bad apples, come around to Obama's way of thinking, it will be material for another bestseller.Yes, sargie and friends, I just made a prediction.And if you don't like it well, that 's just the way in which I roll, dammit!
Anyways my many friends, tis truly sad that the Obama haters and the last of the few remaining bush supporters just can't handle this astounding diplomatic success by Obama.But hey, being reality-based never was their strong suite.

Well, its just too funny that the few remaining bush supporters need to TRY and make this about Islam, as if the shooter was screaming "G-d is great" or something as he succumbed to the PTSD that bush caused him to suffer and lashed out. My condolences to the families of the victims.RIP, people.

Well, it's just too bad that the remaining diehard bushies in America, when the country should be FINALLY taking my advice, and the advice that Ghandi would give if he were (not was, as some who can't teach the subjunctive like I can) alive today, are just going to hide in their bunkers and remain the stupidest people in the whole wide world.
Tis sad really, but hey, logic was never their stroing suite.

Superlib:"Golly, not a Canadian around to comment...."
Spoke too soon,bud.Of course, Canadians are shocked by this but MOST of us know that,well, ALL religions have their extremists and the perpetartors of this attempted crime could easily have been followers of any other faith.
Anyways,kudos on your use of interjections. Your posts have been steadily improving,but I'm afraid you still need to face certain facts,the most important of which is that Canada is NOT America and while I have repeatedly said,and PROVED that often people who do not live in America can see it more clearly than those who do,this does NOT hold true for Canada.
Anyways,I'm sure the haters will be here in flocks to rear their heads and try and blame a religion which over a billion people follow peacefully.I wasn't at all surprised to find that Ghandi held the EXACT same views as I do on the issue of peace,and coexistence and Islam.

skipthesong:"Rex should have known his state's population is about 99%Skin Heads he should immediately called the cops."
Bang on,amigo! Well, I don7t know about other people here but I have never met a person from Idaho who WASN'T a skinhead. It really is just too funny that the whole state resembles the dwindling group of the few remaining bush supporters we have here.
Well, anyways, Obama continues to amaze me every day and the economy IS coming back, and green shoots of recovery are coming up everywhere.
Tis sad to see haters rearing their ugly heads and letting their envy of Obama and his fabulous speeches and rheteric get the best of them,but hey,logic never was their strong suite.I wouldn't be surprised if palin the quitter flies down on the public dime in her aerial wolf-killing helicopter and joins in.Absolutely disgusting!

Well,it really is just TOO funny how the usual haters have come here to rear their heads in an ugly fashion simply BECAUSE the accused is from a Muslim nation and the victims of his alleged crimes were American. Law enforcement professionals and the FBI and the US government are talking about justice, as if their work gives them some special insight into crime or something. Well, therein lies the rub, my friends.Justice varies from one person to another.So, we can't really say what justice is.
Of course,some winger will probably think he is clever by pointing out that if that is so then how can we know what injustice is,but hey,NUANCE always has been in short supply with the righties.
Of course, Scottish law is based on Christian ethics so I guess that also makes the few remaining bush supporters here think they can criticize this incredibly humanitarian,compassionate move.Besides,said ethics aren't my own.I believe more in karma.And in his next life I think this guy will be in for heaps of adversity.He definitely won't be flying first class,if you get my drift.
President Obama:The decision was “highly objectionable.”
Sorry bud, it is highly compassionate, as the accused faces end-of-life issues, in a foreign country, away from his family.It would be terrible if he could never see them again before dying.But kudos for the way you modified the word objectionable.
Well, anyways, my sincerest,deepest,most heartfelt cyber condolences to all the people who survived the passengers that went down on the Maid of the Skies when it was blown out of the air.

Bang on, amigo!Often on the anime and cosplay sites I use I get the feeling the C.I.A. must be watching me.You too?
Well, anyways, all of this stupid cloak and dagger stuff is finished now that Barack Obama is in the White House.Good riddance, I say.Blackwater will just have to go back to Texas if you know what I mean.

zurcronium:This is the perfect example of the emptyheaded angry losers who listen to hate radio everyday to get their emotional fix.
Bang on! Your posts get better and more eloquent with each one my fine friend.My feeling is that you could be the next Seymour Hursch.
Well, anyways, it's too funny the way the few remaining bush supporters here try and defend people bringing guns to town hall meetings.Of course wingers try and talk about when some Black panther members showed up at a political rally in Texas back in 2000 with AK-47's but that is different.bush's free speech zones and his rheteric CAUSED them to resort to those measures, which were actually being done in self defence.

Absolutely disgusting!
Just listen to the liar stephen harper:“We are forcefully asserting and defending Canada’s sovereignty and security in this region,” Harper said.
This is TOO MUCH!The rightists are trying to link eating raw,still-beating seal hearts with national sovereignty.
Well, if they can try and link those two things we will just have to use the same tactics.Maybe I will have to link discrimination and seal slaughter.I'm thinking of buying a burqini and smearing seal blood on it (fake, of course) and then wearing said burqini around town in protest of MY prime minister eating the meat of a seal,already threatened by global warming, that was bludgeoned to death for its fur. Disgusting!I doubt that even bush, the worst president of all time,would try and pull a stunt like this.
Well, anyways my friends, this really bothers, and I think I need some time to be alone.
