Why are the Obama supporters so hateful and intolerant of anyone who doesn’t want to vote for Obama? I haven’t noticed the Hillary crowd or McCain crowd being so quick to call people terrible names, like Nazi, as the Obama crowd does straight out of the box. They sound like a bunch of Jeremiah Wrights railing against white America.

Personally, I think Barack and Michelle Obama both suck. Anyone who’s never been proud of this nation and anyone who won’t salute our flag has issues I don’t care to learn about when it’s too late.

Druggie stepford wife compared to self assured ivy league grad. Hmmmm…. who better to lead our nation?

I’ve been denied loans, denied employment, pulled over by the police for no reason several times, etc. Because I’m white does that automatically mean racism was not an issue? If so isn’t that assumption that racism is the reason for everything (or nothing in my case) racist in itself?

If you look for something (racism as an example) and have your mind set on it you will find it everywhere and wrongly associate motive to fit your views.

1. Learn to use constructive criticism with REALISTIC solutions not just rhetoric or feel good policies

2. Learn to deal with the fact that not everything done wrong in the past will be corrected. Correct the problems today and move on.

3. Learn that there are concepts like personal responsibility that have consequences. Success is not evil and there are certain behaviors that lead to failure. For example if you dropped out of high school and had 3 kids by 21 don’t wonder why you’re poor.

4. Practice what you preach. Actually do something instead of feeling that telling everyone else to do it means the job is done.

5. Agree to disagree. Modern liberals seem as intolerant as conservatives with their views. Utopia is to liberals as god is to conservatives.

We need to have people point out problems in America as Michelle Obama has. Racism and discrimination in housing, employment, legal proceedings, and everyday social encounters is a continued reality and PROBLEM in our society. I’m not in any way a fan of Reverend Wright’s beliefs or methods, but I at least grant him the right to vent is anger and frustration about the problems. Without recognition, these issues would continue to persist in your stagnated “Paradise” American vision.

It’s easy for pampered Americans to rip on America when their biggest crisis is they missed American Idol that week or don’t have money to get every new trendy electronic gadget on the market.

I fully agree there is room for improvement in America but it seems modern liberals are so intent on this perfect ideal world they seem to think the only way to get there is to completely trash America and rebuild from the ground up. Just goes to show that people don’t learn from history.

And what is your proposal for addressing terrorism and trying to prevent terrorist acts? Most likely there is information on us in databases that we won’t like but how is it on a daily basis that your life is impacted by those acts? I don’t know about you but I don’t see much of an impact on a daily bases, and it is no more invasive than things democrats do in the name of children, the environment, and other “noble” causes.

Some thoughts to your response

Patriot Act
warrant less wire taps
Bush administration

If you want to talk about perceptions of reality, talk about how “things are going great in Iraq”
How many days has it been since Mission Accomplished????

They are trying to express that the current state of the country is not one that fosters or values education. No Child Left Behind does not work in it’s current form. etc. etc.

If things are wrong with the country, they should be fixed… The current mindset is to deny them.

Obama 08

Give me solutions I give you my vote. I don’t mean any solutions I mean GREAT Presidential solutions. I don’t mean complaining about other solutions I mean REAL solutions.
NONE so far exist with Obama, NO background in fighting for GREAT solutions and no solutions are posted in this website, most certainly not here.
We have serious problems.

Get over yourself. Do you honestly think anybody will take your little blurb seriously?

And on the subject of fear, I would say the democrats take the cake. Between Big Corporations and global warming I hear way more fear mongering than the republicans dish out. And at least the terrorism threat has some basis on reality unlike the global warming hysteria whose real purpose is global wealth redistribution.

Use your heads, people. Look at all his lies and his relationships with extremists. Come on!

I can sympthaize with the notion that your parents had it rough back in the old country. That’s a completely reasonable claim to assert.

But if you’re about to claim that America right now is “as close to Paradise as we will ever get on this Earth,” it really sounds as though you’re the depressing cynic around here. Do you mean to say that there is no room for improvement, that we’re presently living in the best situation available to us? Is there really no room for progress in your mind?

Now that’s sad my friend, and I feel very sorry for your pathologically limited scope of the world.

I don’t think that the closest thing that Earth will ever get to “Paradise” will still have continued de facto discrimination, hugely stratified socioeconomic gaps, and tragically misguided leadership taking us into simply unnecessary wars.

Check yourself, bro, especially before your start proliferating poorly written and humorously unstructured babble such as this.

It sounds like Michelle Obama understands the complexities and troubles of our society, while you have been living in some sort of spoon-fed bubble.

“Republicans are bad and are warmongers, Rovians, Bushies, etc etc etc”

“Democrats are good and fight for the people against Big ”

FYI there is something called globalism which makes the 1950s era democrat accusations (and fear mongering btw if you want to go there) a little outdated. If you’re gonna tow the party line at least think for yourself every once and a long while.

Democrats act like they’re fighting for the people but ignore the elephants in the room like tort reform for health care. Over $230 billion is spent anually in “defensive health care” basically wasted to protect from lawsuits. Considering the majority of democrats are lawyers I wouldn’t expect this issue to be brought up but I am falsely hopefully that at least some libs could see through the sham.

GOP conservatism is a mental disease. Xianity and Zionism are serious mental diseases. GWB and his “Likudnicky” NeoConners thankfully cured me of this disease.

The USA is one F’d-up country. I’m hoping Obama and his team can clean up a little of the mess that GWB’s Israeli firsters made.

Every bit of what you quoted that she said rings very true and is right on the money.

Obviously the Republicans and neocons are deathly afraid that their reign of fear, war-mongering and constitution trampling is quickly and finally coming to an end.

Republicans did not want to run against Obama because they know they have no chance against him.

I love how people project these qualities onto Obama even though his actions contradict his words. For such “intellectuals” the brain drain evident in Obama support is pretty depressing. I guess some people are so caught up in an ideal they put blinders on to reality.

By the way I hope you like Robocalls, telemarketers and targeted advertising. Lol your great leader who has your devoted attention is milking you for your personal information for personal gain. But I suppose there is some excuse for that too like everything else. Here’s some change you can believe in suckers.

I mean, have you honestly never criticized ANYTHING about the US? If it weren’t for America, my ancestors would have likely died in the Holocaust, but that doesn’t mean I think America is perfect throughout all time and history. Fighting to improve the country you love is patriotism. If I didn’t care and thought America was hopeless, I wouldn’t bother.

Your article is based on a lot of insinuation and inference… if you actually listen to Michelle or meet her there should be no doubt in your mind that she would be our next Jackie O.

Show your patriotism and love of America by supporting the best candidate *any* party has had in a long time: Barack Obama.

P.S.- what journalist prints judgments about a person’s character based on their appearance? “pissed off,” “resentful,” “bitter.” You get that all from seeing her on television? That was pretty lame and immature…. real journalists don’t go there. I guess bloggers do.

And to many non-Americans, like me, it is this sort of simplistic, nationalistic pseudo-patriotic nonsense that makes us despair. Those who believe in “My country right or wrong” do their country no favours by believing so. The truly great Americans were, of course, patriotic. But they were never blind and never ignored America’s problems. The above comments reach us from the fringes of rational thought – they represent an extreme expression of what the writer believes and wants us to believe.

Remember what Bobby Kennedy said about extremism: “What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents”. I think that Michelle Obama follows Kennedy rather than Neil Diamond. And that is where the hope for the future sits.
