Pointing out each and every misstep by Obama weakens him and IMO that is for the good.

If you look back into the political history of America, what goes on these days is pale in comparison. The jig is not up, the beat goes on.

The beat may go on. But when enough Americans cannot live because the government takes their money and gives it to someone else, the jig will definitely be up! Machiavelli was right: People will forgive you for killing their grandmother. But they will never forgive you for taking their money.

Obama claimed to have the answers to all our problems. Turns out he didn't even know the questions.

What I say here is what I say IRL and the more people that speak out on Obama the better. You shrug your shoulders and say "whatever" here and IRL too I bet. Then when they come for your guns you will squeal like a stuck pig as you hand them over. If they come for mine they will get a slightly different reception.

Hyperbolic hysteria. When people talk like that, they quickly lose credibility. It is like the conspiracy folk who have been flogging the same old stuff for 50 years "Just you wait! It will happen really soon!..etc"

Meaningful dialog and opposition beat "stunt politics" and bumper sticker sloganeering every time.

I thought this was rude, childish and egotistical behavior. Yucking it up and taking selfies as speeches were being made about the man people came to honor at his memorial. Is this spoiled child really our president? Even Michelle looks disgusted. God help us.

Forgive me if this sounds unbelievably stupid, but how do we know that this picture is from the actual funeral? Years of the internet taking stills from video to create a scandal, or showing one picture from one event and claiming it was really at another, has made me insufferably skeptical about such stories.

My "beat goes on" remark was about the meanness of politics in America.

It's all over the news now with the guy that took the pic of the selfie falling over himself apologizing for taking it.

Well, here in Dixie, it's best if a man don't be takin' a picturograph with womenfolk. If his wife is around, she's liable to fight that there woman, and if she's not it could end up costing a man a few dollars for an evenin'. Some of them there whores expect more than 2 dollars!

Do all those news stories link back to the same source? That's another thing that's made me insufferably skeptical.

At this point, Obama could publicly state "2 + 2 = 4" and you'd find a reason to object....

Yeah, that could never happen.:roll:


1. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves against their ethnic-cleansing government, were arrested and exterminated.

2. In 1929, the former Soviet Union established gun control as a means of controlling the “more difficult” of their citizens. From 1929 to the death of Stalin, 40 million Soviets met an untimely end at the hand of various governmental agencies as they were arrested and exterminated.

3. After the rise of the Nazi’s, Germany established their version of gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, and others, who were unable to defend themselves against the “Brown Shirts”, were arrested and exterminated. Interestingly, the Brown Shirts were eventually targeted for extermination themselves following their blind acts of allegiance to Hitler. Any American military and police would be wise to grasp the historical significance of the Brown Shirts’ fate.

4. After Communist China established gun control in 1935, an estimated 50 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves against their fascist leaders, were arrested and exterminated.

5. Closer to home, Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayans, unable to defend themselves against their ruthless dictatorship, were arrested and exterminated.

6. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves from their dictatorial government, were arrested and exterminated.

genocide 57. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million of the “educated” people, unable to defend themselves against their fascist government, were arrested and exterminated.

8. In 1994, Rwanda disarmed the Tutsi people and being unable to defend themselves from their totalitarian government, nearly one million were summarily executed.

The total numbers of victims who lost their lives because of gun control is approximately 70 million people in the 20th century. The historical voices from 70 million corpses speak loudly and clearly to those Americans who are advocating for a de facto gun ban. Governments murdered four times as many civilians as were killed in all the international and domestic wars combined. Governments murdered millions more people than were killed by common criminals and it all followed gun control

He would never do that. He is a lawyer and a Chicago politician. If someone asked him what 2 + 2 is he would say, 'What do you want it to be?'

Not really. He's a bit ticked off that what he describes as a "trivial image" has eclipsed the hard work of his fellow photographers, and says "it’s a sign of our times that somehow this image seemed to get more attention than the event itself."

If it matters, he's from Colombia, and works for L’Agence France-Presse.

The EPA closure of the last lead smelter will impact Americans' ability to get ammunition:

EPA Closure of Last Lead Smelting Plant to Impact Ammunition Production

Now, ammunition sold in America will have to come from other countries were they are not so conscientious about the environment, and thus can be heavily regulated by the government. Isn't that convenient for those who want to take our weapons?

Jackie Kennedy was very determined that the Kennedy years would be presented in a positive light by the press. She made requests that certain things not be published in photos. The press honored her requests. It's too bad the Obamas don't have the common sense to do the same things.

Look, dude, I didn't make your relationship a point of debate - YOU did. If you don't like it, go cry to your mama (if she will not also kick your ass).

How did I make MY relationship a point of debate? Pointing out what a real husband and man does and doesn't do at certain times?
Find a woman that will put up with your immature BS and you just found a weak minded loser, or you already have one.
