adaydream - I don't doubt that you can defend yourself. But the bigger issue for me is that you shouldn't have to defend yourself against other Americans. Obama isn't going to create a dictatorship; he never planned to. But it bothers me greatly that so many people who voted against him are now plotting against him in our own country.
SuperLib has it right: it is tragically ironic. But with all the things I've said about bush over the years, I've certainly never threatened him or plotted against him; nor has anyone else that I know of. That, to me, is where the irony ends, where the exchange of opinions stops and the threat of actual extremism begins.
Hey, I've said some pretty harsh stuff, too, I'll admit it; SuperLib him/herself had to slap me the other night for calling all Republicans non-American. Yeah, I was wrong to generalize like that, and I apologized. Still, it's awfully hard to trust the motives of Obama-haters when they baselessly accuse him of starting a "dictatorship" in America.
I have enough to worry about with terrorists from other countries trying to kill me, my colleagues, and other Americans. No American should have to look over his/her shoulder on their own territory waiting for another American to attack them for supporting President Obama, much less should President Obama need to worry about a home-grown extremist harming him or his family.

adaydream - Not to worry. The radical right isn't going to harm any American, not on my watch at least.

No, you're not. You're worried about being proven wrong again.

I doubt they were, but I also doubt this congressman's worries are piqued even now; if this non-story was really a valid issue, it'd've been all over the news way before Election Day, particularly on Fox (a.k.a McCain campaign HQ).

I see we're back to the tired, defeated Military Times argument. OK, gang; show me a POST-election poll of how military members voted. That, plus the defeat of the Military Times bit that I've posted before, should be enough.
If not, then I'll just have to fall back on my position as an active dute US military member to lend even more unshakable support to my assertion.
Smith - your 10:11 and 11:00 posts are brilliant. It would be so nice to see the NeoCons get with the program, now that we have a program worth getting with after eight long dark years, but it isn't necessary; we'll triumph without them.

What about Obama winning the Presidency? Is that something I just made up? Checking... no, it isn't! Thank Christ!

Sarge - "Obama wants to have a national security force that answers to him because he's afraid the U.S. military may have problems carrying out his orders, since he is absolutely not qualified to be commander in chief."
Bwahahahahahahaha! Then why did the vast majority of US troops help vote Obama into the Presidency, "sarge"?
C'mon, sweetie, is this the best you can do? Well, strike that... I guess it is! xD

Of course you don't, sweetheart! That's why you post to me, yeah? Bwahahahahahahahahaha! xD
PS: Ask anyone in your military family; they'll be quick to tell you that you have no idea what's it's like to you actually sign up.

Well, here are my thoughts: If the leaders, chiefly Osama bin Laden, are located somewhere on the Afghan/Pakistan border, the majority of our military efforts should be in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Iraq is where the foot soldiers are; Afghan/Pakistan is where the enemy leaders are. What better way to win a war than by taking out the enemy's leaders?
Seems pretty articulate to me.

An excellent first move! Congratulations, President Obama; congratulations America!
President Obama, you have the full support of all good Americans, sir.

As far as I'm concerned, you've just invalidated yourself by referring to Afghanistan as the "easier war". Talk to a US troop who's been there; you need the education we can provide.

Excellent news. Now, with a real President about to take office, I hope that soon the headline will be "Osama bin Laden executed for 9/11 atrocities".
Even jerk conersatives can't have a problem with that. If they do, let them explain it to the families of the 2,974 dead and 24 missing (presumed dead) that were killed on the orders of this a**hole.

“While we must recognize that we only have one president at a time and that President Bush is the leader of our government, I want to ensure that we hit the ground running on Jan 20 because we don’t have a moment to lose,”
Another way of saying "We have to wait until this idiot goes away, then we can start fixing his mess."
