Obama a radical?

Do you think Obama is a radical

He's certainly not a radical -- if anything, he's far too willing to bow down to the demands of the other side. That's not to say that the other side doesn't have some good ideas -- but when he walks around like there's eggshells on the ground, he's certainly a poor radical, if one at all.

I watched that movie today because it was on Comedy Central.. and I was curious. I can't believe that's how Keanu got his start.

Some say he has never advanced beyond that.

You would be an idiot to not try to salvage whatever political capital you can.

And another quick question how do you expect anyone to take what you say seriously with those kind of comments, because I've got to tell you that telling someone they should be disturbed by your motivations isn't the best way to convince people of something...

The world has entered a new era. The forces of history are lined up, and I'm merely telling you what I observe.

There are many audiences to whom I speak. Some are to be alerted. Some are to be warned. Some must experience bitterness. But the message to all these audiences has at least one thing in common. The core of the message must be pure truth.

Those who should be alerted can save themselves. Those who should be warned back off. Those who must experience bitterness do so in full measure. But only truth can accomplish this.

Understanding the course of events requires more than the projection of "what is" into the future following the existing trajectory. It requires looking to the lessons of history based on the experiences of those who came before. Patterns emerge.

Despite what Marx said about the beliefs of Hegel, history does not repeat itself. But the limited range of human behavior and emotions makes it appear that history repeats itself. This is why I have a dark vision for the coming generation.

But even dark ages come to an end. There will be better days for the peoples who reside in the territorial limits of what is currently called the USA.

America will have to hit bottom before it's circumstances change, and a new consciousness reaches critical mass in this land. But that day will come. Darkness will give way to light.

Not if Palin is running :lol:
Anyhow its very unlikely Obama will be voted out. He is far from perfect but its the best choice out of anything the Republicans have except for Newt. If Newt runs then there will be on hell of a race to the White House!

Newt running is only slightly better than Palin running.

If you look at the screen name Albert has adopted, you have to take a lot of what he says with the assumption that it is intentionally over the top and intended to shock. That is his schtick and he employs it well.

radical is a subjective term, meaning that what you view has a radical I may not BUT with that said the trick is to think OBJECTIVELY

you judge radical from the MIDDLE not from your own point of view. For example if I dont mind interacting with different races or people of different backgrounds or people better off or worse than me and you were taught that you shouldnt or believe you shouldnt you may view me as a radical, I of course would nto view myself as one

anyway with all that being said, in my opinion Obama is not a radical lol, but im an independant so?
BUT im open to persuassion, if someone can give me some logic why he is Id change my mind.

I disagree. You believe that you judge 'radical' based on the middle and not the individual point of view because, as a centrist, your view IS the middle. As a libertarian, I believe that my view is correct. So I believe that one is to be judged, not based on 'the middle' but from what is correct. I believe we ought to be at a place with minimal government, so this is what I believe to be the 'right' place. Obama is far from my point on the political square. Yes, he does compromise left and right a little (not much, but a little - I will give him some credit), but he doesn't compromise up and down (up being little government, down being big government). So from my perspective, he is a radical on big government. From his perspective, I am a radical on small government. I would disagree simply because I believe I'm correct (and therefore not radical) - otherwise, why would i believe it? :)
