“I hope their sticks and stones and twitter can bring down the well armed st0rmtr00pers and ta'nks...

Maybe they should extend a flower and 'redouble their efforts'... Yeah, that'll do it.

The |ranian reg|me will shake in their b00ts, no doubt. (-___-)”

“well said”

“exactly.”

“Oh yes, I second that! Al Franken is the wind of change we desperately need.”

“here here!”

“If you were a big enough stooge to get your hopes up about a career politicians then you deserve all the disappointment.

You should look at everything and everyone in Washington with a cycnical view to start . . . then watch their actions . . . instead you put your faith in a guy with no record.”

“I sure as hell won't be fooled again either.

And I was fooled. I fell for it hook, line and sinker. We live in a very conservative area in a very conservative state. We put an Obama sign in our yard and it was stolen. We put out another and would take it in at night, but it was stolen too. We then put a third inside the window and had rocks thrown at our window. They broke part of the vinyl and scratched the windows. We still left it there. We then had eggs thrown at our house - our stucco house. A whole lot of them. It took us an entire day to scrub the mess off, but we still kept the sign up.

We also gave 'til it hurt. And I wore my stupid Obama t-shirt wherever I went, despite the insults hurled at me, and hurled they were.

That's how much I believed in Obama's message of change and hope for the people of this country.

That's how stupid I was.

But I will never be that stupid again.”

“Mikey, you are full of cr*p and don't know what you're talking about. Tennessee fully funds state services and does so very well and within budget. The fed. dollars spent in Tennessee are by and large spent on fed. projects - TVA, Oak Ridge, etc.”

“We tried to disassociate ourselves from you and you wouldn't have it. If you are gonna force us into this union the least you can do is pay for our needs.”

“that should read people ARE very big on putting on a face, not aren't.”

“I totally agree with you about the deep south. People aren't very big on putting on a face that doesn't reflect reality. For instance at first in the deep south people seemed like the nicest folks I ever met...but then after I lived there for awhile I found many of them were only nice to you when they thought you were exactly like them. The second they found out you weren't a Christian, or conservative, or straight, or whatever, then the facade fell flat and they were the meanest people I'd ever known.

Similarly they aren't very honest with how the really feel. My father in law is the meanest, angriest man I've ever known but he'll insist that he is a jolly old man who feels sorry for all those bitter liberals.

But then again, there are parts of the deep south I love. My husband is from the deep south and he's great. and there are little beauties and joys to be found, and there ARE people who are genuinely nice accepting people. They just don't seem to be the majority.”

“Excuse me, there are plenty of poor people and minorities who are happy. Travel to the Mississippi Delta and you'll have some of the best times of your life. I remember Morgan Freeman saying that one of his friends said, "Morgan, you can live anywhere in the world, so why do you live in the Mississippi Delta." He replied, "It is because I can live anywhere in the world that I live in the Mississippi Delta."”

“If you think it's tough for a Muslim to be elected, just try running as an atheist.”

“only republicans wear their religion on their sleeves, they are so paranoid that they think muslims cannot become americans nor hold office, all they are accomplishing is dividing the "United" States and destroying it from within. the more they talk and fight against Islam the more the Islamic religion grows. Republicans are truly the c.o.w.a.r.d.s. of America, they are afraid of change and they think they can stop progress.”

“So what!!! Get over it; he's POTUS whether you like it or not. What you think of him is none of his business or mine.”

“I was just thinking that he's starting to look like his chunky old self from before he had the tummy surgery.”
