Republican hate for President Obama.

[apple0154]

Half of them will have to be put on suicide-watch and the other half will be looking for someone to murder. Personally, if Obama pulls it off, I'm going to make myself really scarce around here for a while, because these guys are going to get ugly.*

*I know what you're thinking: But Darla, aren't they already ugly? Sure, but don't ever think it can't get much worse.

But that's when they'll require our "aid and comfort". Change is difficult for the Conservative. Sharing. Helping the needy. Providing the most basic of life's necessities like medical care for those who are poor and ill are foreign concepts to today's Conservative/Republican mind. They'll talk about the Constitution and the Pilgrims and under what beliefs and concepts the country was founded unable to fathom the first settlers developed the prototype of the hippy commune. Everyone working together, combining talent and resources just to stay alive. A century later people were still holding on to those basic principals as witnessed by barn-raising where everyone contributed effort to help their fellow man. Men doing construction. Women supplying meals for the workers and doing less physically demanding work. Children doing chores around the home/farm while the parents were helping their neighbors.

They'll bitch and moan about how the Constitution is being violated when their perspective of the Constitution is twisted beyond recognition. The Preamble, the guiding principals to interpreting the Constitution, states, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty". Simply stated, to help. There's nothing written to lead one to believe their intention was to "promote every man for himself and to hell with everyone else." There's nothing written to suggest their idea of the "Blessings of Liberty" was to subject ones fellow man to unnecessary hardship, scratching and scraping to feed their family when there's an abundance of food available or turning ones back on the homeless when there are hundreds of thousands of empty homes, over 150,000 in Nevada alone, empty and left to rot.

You'll be needed to comfort and educate the folks.

So if he was to reduce your taxes, reduce the interest on your mortgage, send you a cheque for being a nice person, offered you a job and helped you make a model airplane, you'd just be left with the fact that he is black, huh?

referencing to my post, it supposed to be for every American and I am not a racist

lol....ironic that you should ask that question.......the rest of us have been asking YOU that question every time we see Legion post......why is he still here?.....

Legion isn't "Legion" anymore.

The reality is, his opinion notwithstanding, he adds to the conversation now. While he still throws silly "dance" videos into the mix, he actually participates in discussion. While he carefully avoids giving opinions he still adds to the conversation, he's still here because he doesn't violate rules.

When Obama won just for the 1st time, Dixie was on here telling us to prepare for some sort of violent revolution; he kept talking about how he had his bunker all squared away & was loaded up with ammo.

I can't imagine a 2nd time. But, to be fair, I was absolutely incredulous when Bush won a 2nd term. I was actually too shocked & dismayed to be genuinely angry or take it out on anyone here, though.

Dixie suggested I was going to get a Bulleit in my head if I was not carefull about what I said.

I pointed out what you would regularly see at protests about Bush and then said that I have never seen anything like it with Obama. I find it interesting how you construct these strawmen then still miss when you try to take the battle to them. Can you provide images, as I did, of protests in the US with the constant image of Obama hanged or burning in effigy?

Later I provided images of exactly what I was talking about, you have yet to show such regular effigies at any protest against Obama's policy.

This is just opinion but I think if bush hadn't taken the country to war, there wouldn't have been burning effigies of him.

Rightwing hate for our president knows no boundaries or borders....


An effigy of Barack Obama was burned by members of a Conservative party college student association in Scotland, after its committee chose the U.S. president over the late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, a student official told msnbc.com.



A source told msnbc.com that a number of the committee members were Americans who support the Republican party.
