Obama: 'We Don't Believe Anybody Is Entitled to Success in This Country' [W:108]

Re: Obama: 'We Don't Believe Anybody Is Entitled to Success in This Country'

*Sighs*

Why do people fall for such drivel?

Because they want to.
 
If we were to judge BHO only on the positions he has held he would be deemed a remarkable success, but in every position he has held he has had no marked success whatsoever. He did nothing to deserve the Nobel Prize either.

It is a case of Affirmative Action run amok.

I'd give him a C as President. Maybe a D-.

But see, I think I'd be giving Romney an F PDQ, so I don't have a better option.
 
I interpret "doing their fair share" as simply working and contributing in proporation to those rewards.

It's a rhetorical proposition, not a rule/regulation/law and I seriously doubt Obama would ever consider/judge you individual contribution, so there really isn't anything to worry about.

I don't think anything Obama says is "rhetorical". He chooses his words carefully. He certainly seems to think some people are not paying their "fair share" of taxes. Now he says that people should "do" their fair share.

Look. When ever anyone starts talking about a nebulous term like "fair share", I have to ask my questions: Exactly what is their fair share? Who decides? And what happens if I don't do what Obama considers my "fair share"?
 
And you still cannot deny your life in America is waaaay better BECAUSE of the Constitution than without it.

America is better with .. what? A constitution which doesn't guarantee a fictional right to success? Lol, I guess you've now acknowledged you've lost this debate and have gone into nonsensical drivel. Until next time champ.
 
hey Captain Courtesy , if I calls somebody's comments ignorant, that's not a personal attack. you do realize that right?

Moderator's Warning:
Often success is the result of choices we make. This is an example of a poor choice that has led to a very unsuccessful outcome.

Yes, the annoying thinking and analyzing for yourself part. Rather than to follow the mob.

You can criticize Obama all you want. You weren't criticizing obama, you were insulting one of his supporters. I merely returned the favour and judging by your response I find myself conflicted. I can't decide if you are actually interested in politics and governance and merely have a crude sarcastic way of expressing your well thought out political philosophy or you are simply crudely expressing your distaste for a president dat doan be lookin lak ewe.

If you respond, I am confident that it will resolve my conflict.:laughat:

ME? Racist? lol - I take it that was basically your conflict (that don't be looking like you?)

Allen West is my hero - and he is as black as they come. Hope that resolves it for ya...

You can tell me I am an idijit, if it would cheer you up.

I'll take one for the team, coach.
 
Do you really see me this way, Mya?


Sweet.... I see you no way .... one way or another


I am just another poster in this forum and I reply to what I feel I agree with or I don't :)
 
Considering the uproar from conservatives over stating that you are NOT entitled to success, one would think you're arguing that you are in fact entitled to it. .

You seem to have no understanding of the comments on this thread whatsoever.

If there is in fact a Conservative uproar, and that adjective alone is arguable, the "uproar" is NOT that Conservatives believe someone is "entitled" to success, the disagreement exists in the fact that Obama and liberal policies attempt to ensure that certain individuals or groups should be guaranteed success based on factors that have nothing to do with ability or hard work. Factors such as gender, skin color or voting for Democrats (read Solyndra or illegal immigrant, SEIU, teacher's unions).

Like so many of Obama's lies, Obama's statement in the OP is the exact opposite of what Obama actually believes. Obama believes in "crony Capitalism." Obama believes in special favors and entitlements to success if you vote for liberals and conversely, he believes that the success of those who oppose him should be stymied.

That is why Conservatives find fault with Obama's nonsense such as that found in the OP. It is simply a lie.

The liberals do know their cattle though. Look at how you dutifully leaped forward to misconstrue the posts of others and defend your Messiah without the slightest regard for truth or ethics.

I agree with you. I don't like to follow the mob and I do enjoy thinking and analyzing for myself. And when I have questions or concerns, I ask or express them. That's what I'm doing here.

So, Pinkie, do you have any answers or insights to my questions? I am being quite sincere when I say that I really would like to know more.

I liked him - why was he banned?

I guess that if someone can't express their right to freedom of speech in this forum, I would like no part of it either.

Adios (I won't be back).

I don't think you're an idjit at all though. You and I are just opposite sides of the same coin. We know what we believe politically and we support whoever we think best advances those beliefs, even if we're not exactly jazzed about our candidate. I'm glad Romney seems to be articulating himself better lately, but he certainly wasn't my favorite during the primary. Sometimes I wonder though, what it would be like to be completely non partisan and to evaluate the candidates without any preconceived ideas. Not something I'll ever know first hand.

Put it another way. What he is saying to everyone is:

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Take it easy, my friend - I'm leaving as well. No sense in continuing if one can't tell the truth in this forum...

Good luck and godspeed! :)

You've been a member here 5 years and you don't know how this works? He questioned moderation publically. That's a pretty big no no.

Discretion prevented me from articulating the third alternative of my conflict. good thing since it is the appropriate one.
Thank you. I knew you'd resolve my conflict.
