“Wow. Thank you, helonias. I read those 3 times and saved them.

Too bad they won't be in the Bible for much longer. I think you just cited 3 of the many liberal passages that the "owners" of "true christianity" intend to Cross out.”

“"she implied that rationed care would lead to elderly or disabled people being denied care to save money."

Sloppy sentence, or intentional implication that what we're for (that Palin is against) is "rationed care"?

Funny sentences are ruling the day. News woman on MSNBC this morning said "Moderate Democrats worried about holding their congressional seats voted against the health care package, and Democrats who voted for it are now in the Republican crosshairs."

What IS that? Who put us on the bottom? The man we put on top! The illusion that Republicans are in charge is as good as reality. Mr. Obama took what we gave him and turned it over to the side that lost the election.

Tired of complaints about Obama's betrayals? We should march like the wingnuts do? First, if we did, it would get no such coverage by the MSM (the gay rights marches were ignored). Second, since when do the voters speak via national election and then have to take off work and spend the kids' college funds to travel to Washington and go on the march for the next four years to get it done?

MoveOn and others are knocking themselves out trying to keep on, because our elected president ISN'T doing it, WE are left to do it. Every road we finish, he demolishes, so that we're kept busy starting over instead of moving forward.

Palin is in charge. Liebermann is boss. Who put them there? You know who it was.”

“What a pat notion.

My Granddad was in the Cavalry in WW One, my father was a 17-year-old Sailor in WW 2, a pilot in Korea, an Army captain at 30, a civilian flight instructor (helicopters) at Fort Sill in the first year of Vietnam involvement. My son is a 22-year-old sergeant, an infantryman in Iraq, 30 miles from Iran at present, his second tour, his next will be Afghanistan. I didn't play sports because my family moved around too much, as my father was a pilot for Petroleum Helicopters. Growing up, I had everything "yelled into" me, and more, that I needed, thank you very VERY much.

You're having it too easy with that pat, supercilious comeback to our dissatisfaction with President Obama, Benton. Much too easy. I strenuously object to how easy that was for you to spout.”

“"That said, I do not forget that if the election had gone the other way, we'd right now have a barter economy and be at war with Honduras."

Bill, Bill...hiding behind humor. The situation is many months past being funny anymore.

I think if McSame had won, we'd be doing exactly what we're doing now, only without the hatched stinklet eggs of "the teabaggers" and the incredible advancement of Glenn Beck and Michelle Bachman.

I want to quit calling President Obama "smart" and "talented" now. When can we go ahead and do that? What is wrong with us?”

“One more thing, I agree with every word you said except wingnut, and that was just a technicality.”

“Veri, we're not wingnuts. We're moonbats.

So I guess you're saying count you out of the coming revolution?

OK, then...”

“There's that documentary "Does America Have a Ruling Class" where for the first time I saw it spelled out that we ARE slaves. We work for pathetic wages doing work that is worth much, much more, so that the hereditary princes of the ruling class can have 10 castles on the Meditereanean instead of only four.

So: the United Corporations of America and its population of slaves.

We have shackles we COULD shake off: American Idol watching, addiction to foodlike substances, driving short distances that could be walked (or run). Why not start SOMEWHERE, anywhere, and influence our progeny to do as we do?”

“Go to jail for something you believe in. Do it as if you know you'll be going to jail alone. I'm going to jail as soon the Obama health care mandates become law without the public option. I'm psyching up for jail, prison, Guantanamo, doesn't matter, it has to be done, and we are headed fast for "nothing left to lose" status anyway. Nothing else to do while they keep turning the heat to see how much we'll tolerate.

Freedom!”

“Holding the GOP to "blame" and all the insufferable inanity happening on the right is the well-engineered distraction, and it is WORKING. Check out every liberal blog, see the peeple bleeding from the eyes that Glenn Beck dissed Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, in spite of every betrayal Obama/Emanuel has committed in a fraction of the time it took Bush/Cheney to run over us.

Oh, it's working. I do it myself! We have to stop, stop it NOW, don't do it, don't be led into it, ignore the Right, they are a circus intended to turn our heads away from what is going on! PLEEEZ.”

“YES, you were fooled. So was I. YES. Y-E-S!

Remember on The Daily Show, soon after the inauguration or the win, I forget which, Obama was on some "Meet the Press' kind of TV show, and Jon Stewart poked fun at how "he's so laid back he looks like he's getting a massage!" Yeah, Mr. Obama did look cool, even blase, even asleep, or spellbound, or bewitched, something. The way he looked to me was like he'd either just been shown the Queen of Hearts, or he'd been taken into the quiet room where the REAL government explained to him that his title of "president" belongs in quotes, that is, if he loves his wife and daughters and knows what's good for him. But then, I watch an awful lotta TV and the novels I read are extra-pulpy.”

“SpiderBucket, I'm afraid that the whacko conspiracy stuff from the right, which receives 100% of all not-positive-toward-Obama "news coverage," was DESIGNED to drown out genuine protest of the nightmare we are entering under this president (whom I voted for, *insane laugh*). THIS isn't going to "hurt Obama," au contraire, few will ever even be aware of it, and fewer still will remember. Further, I don't think Obama wants to be president again in 2012. Look at how he acted in his last appearance before the "press." He walked on, said "Yay Olympia Snowe, Yay Max Baucus," all deadpan bored, and walked off with one "reporter" hollering one question at his back. Obama is hardly even pretending anymore. Give that man a major international award! (Already done? Almost time to call it a day, then.)

(I'm hoping that since this is a not-positive-toward-Obama article, I'll get to see my comment posted rather than suffer its disappearance, whereupon I shuffle off to the blogs that permit dissent, even FEVERISH dissent.)”

“OMG, what if he's a cyborg?”

“Chicken leg thumbs? HAHAHAHA!!!!

But seriously, ever notice how many heroines in movies have horribly, ugly, big, man hands and thick meaty wrists? Almost without exception. Watch for it, you'll notice. Look when she puts her hands on the sides of the heroes face up close. It's so reliable that every lithe, lovely heroine in size double-zero clothes, in every movie, will have big ugly hands and wrists, it makes me wonder if they're demons. (Only when I see it; rest of the time, I don't believe in such things.)”

“I have four sons and a son-in-law, making five far-left, well-read, educated young liberals, all of them with children, three of them put out of work in Louisiana and Arkansas by the hard hit.

Y'er mean, 912.”

“A million starlets and non-working actresses have tight tummies. The sight is so common on the screen, it's gotten to be no more special than having a nose in the middle of our face where a nose should be.

Me, I don't think she has great eyes, or any outstanding feature at all. She looks like a horse-limbed, painted critter from a beauty pageant, like millions of other women, as blank as a store manequin and the former Miss California.

Meow.”

“Where are the 7 inappropriate toys? I see one inappropriate toy, a pole-dancer doll, and then a connected row if teeny-tiny pictures that I can't make out.”

“Don't forget how they all got their contracts renewed, extended, etc. KBR, ArmorGroup, Xe (pronounced "she"). Every contractor from "before" was invited back.

Next up for renewal, health care in America.

Hope and Change on the war front: keep America safe by staying the course.”

“There are several shocking, bitterly upset posts at a European (I guess) blog, stating that Huffposters left comments that made excuses for what these contractors have done, claiming it is "a hard job they have" and "these men need to be allowed to cut loose." I was embarrassed by what I saw, mortified as an American, and I still am. I don't see ever being able to live it down, if this is how I'm being "represented" at The Huffington Post!

It seems to me this would have been the perfect time for the strict censors at this giant, highly visible blog to kick in. You're always there to block and censor me, and I usually can't even figure out why I was censored. So where were you when THIS happened?

“Wait. Aquatic life?

How is this a contest, trees vs homes, iron towers vs birds?

Come on, GiveUsFree, why are you called that?

(Chill. All in good fun.)”

“How I cheered in my living room at my TV when Bill Maher said this on HBO! How I wish Bill Maher weren't singing to the choir when he says this. And most of all, how I wish Obama was a member of our choir, so he'd hear this and maybe take heed, but he isn't.

You know what the birthers, deathers, dittoheads and all, are REALLY doing? They're drowning out objections to President Obama from the Left. We can't object to any of our elected president's perceived (don't want to be banned from yet another "democratic" blog, so must say "perceived") betrayals without finding ourselves chimed in with the wrong choir!

Oh well. Thank you, Bill Maher. Stay well. Don't go anywhere.”

“What makes you say that? Oh, it came out during their trials! I forgot. Carry on.”

“I won't be around either. But I decided that several betrayals ago.

Mizerello, on the other stuff, that you "accepted"--that's why he did it: he knows most of us will just "accept" it. We are not the boss of him. Brace for more of the same. And more. And more. Because most people will react like buhbuh. Obama is comfortable in knowing that MOST of us, enough to get him re-elected handily in 2012, are going to accept whatever he does, because we have so much invested in him, what else can we do? He's right. The horde of Democrats in the Senate voting like Repubicans know it too. We'll vote for our Democrat, and they'll go right on working for their bosses, which ain't us. Nothing is ever going to change.”

“Palin's function is to turn back the clock, bring out what has been muzzled by social evolution and enlightenment, make a "long-silenced, downtrodden group" out of racist neanderthals (my apologies to real Neandertals). For 8 years, Bush/Cheney have paved the way, and it is nearly over now.

This is the kind of comment being posted NOW at local newspaper forums, without shame, now that this downtrodden bunch has "permission" not only to revert to form, but take pride in it. LOOK:

"While I know it is hard to believe americans could become more divided than they already are, an obama presidency will probably divide this nation like we have not seen since the time of lincoln. Once people begin to view obama socialists as less than human it uncomplicates things."

Posted at forum of newspaper serving two counties in the Deep South, in a state that went overwhelmingly for Bill Clinton both times, a state once rued by Republicans as "a one-party state for the past 150 years" (meaning hopelessly Democrat).

Calls to rise up and murder your countrymen used to be just plain socially unacceptable. Well, this animal is out of its cage. Thank you, Mrs. Palin. You do your job extraordinarily well. Your Maker is probably interested in hearing what you have to say about your function in human history, when your time comes as everyone's does in the end. Wow, I don't envy you that.”

“Don't worry! The government may be an arm of the Republican party, but the press is free and always will be! In order to really inform the electorate, cable and network TV news is gravely needed nowadays. People work hard, are busy raising children, TV is often all there is, and only an hour or 2 of it at best. That's what television NEWS is there for. So you need not fear. CANDY CROWLEY is undoubtedly getting busy on this one! You've seen her diligence in reporting, how smart and tough she can be when the reputation of the free press, and America's very life, are on the line. You've watched CNN and FNC, you know their important function as well as I do. Do you have the slightest doubt that, by this afternoon, this issue of the "1964 car wreck cover-up" will be all over the airways, and everyone will be talking amongst themselves, the electorate demanding the release of these records?

Candy Crowley, I have faith in you, based on your past performance. Go get 'em! That is, if you haven't already. I for one am calling in to work for the next 3 days in order to stay tuned.

*snark. Just IMAGINE Candy Crowley's stern reporting if this had been Obama. LMAO.”

“Where is the shrill, exhaustive, repetetive report on every 24-hour news channel, explaining without end that Joe "the plumber" is none of the hypothetical things he purported to be when he approached candidate Obama to query him about taxes? Joe the Plumber is NONE of it. Not going to buy a business (he lied), not licensed to plumb, not anywhere near the $250,000 earning bracket, not even a tax payer, but a tax-RESISTER, etc, you know the rest. Where's the non-stop clarification from our diligently objective Candy Crowley on CNN, and the ever-unbiased Chuck Todd on MSNBC?”
