Re: Obama XVI: Muslin curtains in the White House!!!

I stand corrected. Did a quick look and didn't find the link. I don't often read these political threads as they are very repetitive with the same posters saying the same things over and over.
 
Re: Obama XVI: Muslin curtains in the White House!!!

Wrong, it's been online for a couple of weeks and been rather thoroughly hashed out in the previous incarnation of this thread. (And so far, it seems to be characterized as bunk by anybody to the left of the far right.)

Nice smear effort Craig. :rolleyes:
 
Re: Obama XVI: Muslin curtains in the White House!!!

Interesting read by Dinesh D'Souza in this week's Forbes on Obama's motivation. Basically claiming the "Dreams from my Father" book gives insight to his father's anti-colonialism which BHO has absorbed and made his own. It's not on-line yet so no link.

Fascinating read, especially when you consider the fact that Obama's father left the family when the Prez was a toddler, and he didn't see him again for the rest of his life save for a quick one time visit when he was 10. Either Obama is a really, really quick learner even at the age of 2 to absord something as abstract as anti-colonialism.....or the article is merely a feel good drug for the simple minded out here. :D

It wasn't me or D'Souza who wrote "Dreams from my Father." :p

Hey, it all make sense now. Clearly some bad Hispanic toddler stole Bob Gray's Howdy Doody doll on the playground when he was two years old, and Bob remembers this incident so well 70 years later its caused him to want every brown skinned male whether Hispanic or not to be deported back to Mexico even if they aren't from there. :D :D :D

ok, that's not even very humorous. often your made-up stuff is at least tangentially funny in an odd Rover-sort of way.

Sorry to make fun of your Howdy Doody doll, Bob. Didn't realize that subject was off limits. :eek:

That's a little better.

Silly, but funny is definitely better than silly and not funny.

D@mn liberal Wall Street Journal newsrag pointing out GOP hypocrisy yet again. :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's an interesting dilemma for lawmakers of every stripe. If you oppose a particular appropriations bill, but it passes anyway, do you then refuse to participate, or do you try to make sure your constituents share in the largess? I guess these folks feel "that they are simply performing a service for their constituents and that they have a right to a share of the spending once it has been agreed upon."

Do you also scour the newsfeeds for democratic lawmakers who oppose defense bills then go after defense spending for their district and hold them up as hypocrites?

OK, I'll admit I painted it with too broad a brush. Anybody to the left of the far right who's bothered to opine on it has characterized it as bunk.

Maybe "far right" is a little too narrow. Maybe I should say "solid right". But I don't think even center-right people are buying it.

On the Conservative Rationality and Argument Plausibility index, where 0 (totally credible) is Russell Kirk and 10 (utterly ridiculous) is Michelle Malkin, D'Souza in general is at about a 7. That argument's a solid CRAP-9.

No need to scour goldy. If that happens the righties are all over it and any Dem would have to answer for it.

Lets take the TARP bill, shall we? Would you be surprised to know that Bohner, Ryan, etc all voted FOR the bill? :confused: Strange don't you think, considering their comments about it....

"Republicans are battling other inconvenient truths as well. The Pledge, for instance, takes plenty of shots at the Wall Street bailout — an initiative championed by the Bush administration and supported by GOP leaders in both chambers, including Boehner, Rep. Eric Cantor (Va.), Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.)."

As with most things, there's a slant to it, for sure, but there's also some insight and truth the be gleaned. Even liberal columnists that I really don't like, I'll read occasionally to see what they are saying, and here and there they'll surprise me and make some good points. It takes a lot more thought to put things in writing than to say, talk on the radio, so I figure most writing, even if I think it's quite wrong-headed, has at least a little substance to it. I just don't buy into the blanket statements.

This is a good point. The one thing that can short-circuit it is when the writing is simply a rehash of polemics. Just because something is in paragraph form doesn't mean it's been mulled over. :p
 
Re: Obama XVI: Muslin curtains in the White House!!!

Did you really just say that..?

I mean... That's, just... That's just the stupidest thing I have ever heard. My head literally hurts now.

You know what else the public seems to be going against? Free speech, protection from forced self-incrimination, police not being allowed to randomly walk into your house, and anything less than a billion-dollar bail for jay-walking.

The GOP has become the moral police...they need to judge everyone. They've talked about restricting the internet, on video games, in music, in movies and pretty much every other type of content imaginable. The GOP has been angling to stop a womans right to choose abortion...against the wishes of 75% of the population (CBS). Also, the GOP has attempted to use the Constitution, its purpose determined by the founding fathers to protect Americans rights, to limit Americans rights in terms of gay marriage. Prayer in schools (unless its not their prayers), the list goes on and on.

Besides what is it with this 'that's the dumbest post i've ever read' stuff? Its in every thread...I guess it must be the new fad.

In the end, you either agree or you don't.
