So Bush got our foreign policy into a ditch? Huh, okay. So tell me why our allies are still sticking with us?

Should we befriend the nations that hate us? I agree in making friends with them if we can, but if they allow people to live in their country that fly planes into our buildings and try to kill Americans, and they do NOTHING about it.... why should we make allies?

As Vito Corelone said : Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

In real life, there are no true allies. For every nation, their own interests are number one...
I think that some of the Islamic or Arab nations are scared of bin Laden and what he represents.....hatred and fear.

He is doing a darn good job considering the huge mess he inherited from Bush.

I am afraid that the terrible things inherited from Bush and that Right wing dominated congress, may have damaged us beyond repair.

That's the Messiah's Mantra, folks.

The Messiah is so incompetent he can't fix things.

You forgot to add the whole "add a Messiah reference to every Obama post" thing. Though, that isn't really limited to Scarecrow. I have noticed though that less and less people are using it, which is good. It gets a little old after the 5,000th time.

Skarecrow tells it like it is.

The government is ruining our god damned country and Obama is leading the way. Anyone who cannot see this is a choice moron.

This country is ****ed. It's full of weak fools who don't know the first thing about anything. All they care about is ingratiating themselves and getting free ****.

Liberty, self-reliance, personal responsibility, sacrifice...these ideals mean NOTHING to people. It's sickening.

I regret serving my country in the Marines. None of these bastards deserve it. I regret all the lives lost in the service of this country. None of these bastards deserve it.

Oblivious, weak, and ignorant fools with a bloated sense of entitlement. I'm sick of it. Nobody cares. We're finished.

You think I'm paranoid? Go ahead, think what you will. I'll be successful, I'll survive regardless. These morons won't be so damned lucky...

Dragonslayer blames Bush and praises Obama - a microcosm of retardation in this country. Scarecrow points it out. You contest the validity of his claim. I inform you that you are wrong, that Scarecrow is telling you like it is.

People like to marginalize him because he's abrasive and insulting - I'm starting to believe that most people deserve it. Most people are accomplices to this country's rape...apathetic and simpering little fools.

Go back and reread Scarecrows comments that I quoted. Scarecrow clearly changed the meaning of Dragonslayer's words.

I never said that everything is just dandy, but you are overreacting a tad wouldn't you say? I see no difference now than how a lot of liberals were freaking out when Bush got re-elected. They were screaming about how the country was going to be forever ruined. Yet, here we are still breathing, alive and living an extremely privileged life. Just because there's a guy in office that you don't agree with doesn't mean that the world is going to end. There has been plenty that I've disagreed with Obama about thus far, but I certainly won't start overreacting and basically start carrying a sign that reads "THE END IS NEAR".

You mean The Messiah CAN fix things?

Hallelullah! The Socialist Agenda for the Destruction of America is saved! SAVED! I tell you! Get down on your knees, facing Mecca, and give thanks to Allah for your Savior!

You said Bush hosed things, and implied that if your Messiah can't fix it, it'll be Bush's fault.

You don't like it when people point out the meaning of what you say? Then stop saying things.

Don't entertain me by complaining when I point out the clear meaning of what you said, unless you're willing to apologize and restate what you said in a way that precludes the meaning of what you've already said.

But remember to align your body in the great circle that passes through both your location and Mecca while you're doing it, or the Lightning of the Great Holy Fascist you sent to Washington will get you.

You're also free to provide some alternative explanation for what other people who aren't me wrote. Since I write what I mean, plainly, there's no need for socialist interpretation of my posts.

No. Don't regret that. I and others value it. The end is not yet in sight.

Clearly The Messiah was chosen by Allah to rescue the reputation of President Carter before that idiot is "called home". We got Reagan after The Idiot, maybe history will repeat itself.

It's hard to believe that you are actually serious when you type absurdities.

Obama:

Added 2 trillion dollars to the national debt in three months.

Wants to add 1.4 trillion dollars more in the name of nationalizing health care.

Immediately reneged on national security agreements with Poland, and wrote a letter to the Russians begging them to help control Iran, the Iran the Russians have been building up to oppose the US.

Nationalized GM

Nationalized Chrysler.

Is going to punish American for not being in a goonion by making them pay more than goons for their health care.

Is Nationalizing the energy industry and making steps to end coal mining in this country, one of our very few domestic energy resources.

Has done more damage to the United States in less time than any president in history.

you think maybe I should remove the Allah references and merely focus on the non-denominational aspects of His Most Messianic Holy Attributes of Utter Infallibility and Most Divine Mellifuousness?

I mean, no one denies the existence of these attributes, which is good, because an honest person like me can't see any documented successes of our Kenyan President yet.

You see any?

No, I am not over-reacting, not in my estimation. We are in big trouble. The government is out of control. Nobody cares.

I didn't say the world is going to end. My concern is the principles upon which this country was founded, the principles which any society requires to maintain prosperity and peace. We are losing them, forgetting them, neglecting them. Once they are gone the country we love, the way of life envisioned by our founders will be lost, all the sacrifices made in the name of liberty will have been in vein.

You can pull the “Chicken Little” card if you like, it doesn’t really matter to me. I can prosper, I can survive regardless of what happens. These saps, these conformist, oblivious morons…they won’t be so lucky.

It doesn't matter. The American people don't remember what this country is about anymore. The strength of any representative democracy is in the people; they are weak and foolish - bread and circuses.

Thanks for letting me know how pointless it would be to try to engage in a rational discussion with you.

Like I said, I never said things are fine and dandy. I still don't think that the hyperbole is warranted, but hey...knock yourself out.
