If he was Palin, he could stop when he works half the sticker off?

Americans are going to “recalibrate” their vote, come 2012.
stebon said, 4 months ago

I drive professionally for a living in California. Before the election, Obamination/Biden stickers on every car; since the election, very few. The public, despite the “tingle up my leg” media, is catching on.

I wonder how many mavericks will be running in 2012???

Gladius, the FOP sticker is the point of the cartoon.
The only reason I don’t have an Obama sticker on my car is I bought it last March.

Oh, goody. Let’s beat the Cambridge incident into an international event.

That is what I was pointing out Fox. The previous posts seemed to have ignored/missed the point.

Very very funny.

Dale Hopson - all of the Mavericks have been recycled into Camaros

wonder if this guy removed his Bush sticker when there were no WMDs uncovered in Iraq

wow … bit of an overreaction to a injudicious comment
GNWachs said, 3 months ago

He was never their friend. But so many Americans lost all confidence in W that it was easy to forget that. What surprised me last November was that the vote was 53-47, that close in the face of the disillusionment with W.

I don’t know if this is general knowledge but in 2008 there was a greater turnout percentage-wise by blacks over whites, first time ever. And still it was 53-47.

Meanwhile…health care?
4uk4ata said, 3 months ago

Meh, who cares about healthcare! Obama acted stupidly, people, keep opining - we are in the news business, not some kind of “actually relevant information” one!

Actually, there are reports on healthcare - they are just, apparently, less important. I still can’t get used to the gem below - the so-called Obama plan might end up as a big surprise to Obama himself.

striper77 said, 3 months ago

Are you concerned about President Obama’s $1.5 trillion plan to socialize American medicine?
You’re not alone.
Last week, the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, often held up by President Obama as offering top-quality health care at affordable costs, criticized the House version of health care reform, saying “the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher quality, more affordable health care for patients.”
It gets better.
“In fact, it will do the opposite,” the clinic said. “The real losers will be the citizens of the United States.”
Make no mistake about it, the “free” healthcare will cost you more in taxes - some as high as 57%. And if that isn’t enough, at a time of near 10% unemployment this will force many small businesses to lay people off.
Finally, do you like your doctor? Better hope she or he is part of the “government plan.”
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

SNARK ALERT: : : Well, this is what you get when lefties push their “King” into power over the wishes of 99% of Americans who somehow didn’t get to vote or something! Now we see how it begins. A mixed-race president, getting caught up by events and his own experiences into saying something not politically correct?? We all know that any comment by any black person reflects on the entire black race, whatever that is. The fact that the people involved: the prof, the officer, the Prez, have moved on and solved it as adult individuals will do nothing to keep us from the knowledge that: Black people are trouble! Look, two of the three involved here (not counting the media) are black. Only the police officer is white. How do you not see that as unfair to white people?

It amazes me that you lefties allow a person to be president who is suspect on all of these race-related issues! Obamabots! Oh, the One! Oh, the Rapture! You and your progressive ideas make me sick. Just ask Jesus. END SNARK
DrCanuck said, 3 months ago

What I find so entertaining is how the nay-sayers list argument after argument of all of the things that are wrong with Obama’s reform, and then complain that the bill hasn’t been made public so no one knows what’s in it yet.
Knee-jerking much?
dtroutma said, 3 months ago

I did notice the FOP sticker.

I also noted the Mayo clinic backed off their original negative assessment, and it IS up to BOTH parties to hammer out solutions.

Instead of one “master bill”, we really do need some shorter, and more specific pieces of legislation to take on smaller chunks, that can be modified more easily in the future, if “errors” are made in the first versions passed.
petergrt said, 3 months ago

People are slowly but surely discovering that 0bama is a Marxist (community organizer) whose ‘new’ ideas have been around for a long time and have been discredited even in western Europe - which why they told him NO, when he asked them to join him in his ‘economic’ program.

Most importantly however, he is anti-American, as are most of you left wing super-intellectuals.
DrCanuck said, 3 months ago

So your point is that those with little intellect are right-wing?
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

Hey, petergrt proved my point! Thanks, man. You left out the Jesus part, but according to my super-intellectual powers, it’s possible you might be non-Christian; Muslim, etc.

Tee hee: petergrt sez Obama is a Marxist community organizer). Tonite, petergrt and I are going to go out and vandalize the town’s local garden co-op. It took some organizing to get the community’s available harvest volume up to useful levels for our needs, but we’re doing it! Now, however, I see that it’s Marxist. It’s gotta go. I forgot (till peter reminded me) that community organizers are losers and worthy only of sneering contempt. Sigh. I wish I could stop being reminded of that; it makes me feel sad. Like it must feel to be a republican hate-filled obstructionist.
Tigger said, 3 months ago

Don’t Blame me, I voted for the Third Party Presidential Candidate, jsut as I did in 2000, and 2004 as I didn’t like the Politics fo the Republican or Demoocrat in the November General Election.
petergrt said, 3 months ago

ezdeb: You must have at least a couple of graduate degrees, for you couldn’t possibly gotten so perspicacious all by your lonesome self.

Tigger: With the ideological divide so well defined between the GOP and Democrats, a vote for a ‘third party’ is what exactly?
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

Thank you, petergrt. Now about the Marxist community organizer part. Explanation?
dtroutma said, 3 months ago

Paul Revere was a “community organizer”, what a commie!
GNWachs said, 3 months ago

To those of you who don’t know Chicago the term Community Organizer seems to have a totally different meaning than it does in Chicago. Chicago is the home of the ward boss. The alderman who is your representative. CO job is number 1 to get votes. Do whatever is necessary but get the vote. Last I looked 46/47 aldermen were Democrats and Daley was the head of the Democratic party in addition to being mayor.
Garbage not being picked up, call CO. Need a job, call CO. Need to fix a parking ticket? Call CO. all he wants in return is vote Democratic across the board. Not a bad plan but don’t turn the job into something that it isn’t. You are a gofer, a hack and trying to move up the political ranks. You need to make your bones.
David said, 3 months ago

President Obama has been reminded what happens when you open your mouth before you know what you’re talking about.
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

David, what did Preznit Bush get reminded of when he opened his mouth before he knew what he was talking about (sooo many times)? Nothing. No one thinks it necessary to give a white man a reminder of what happens when you’re uppity. Disgusting.

GNW, your generalizations about Chicago Dems notwithstanding, please look up Altgert Gardens in Chicago. This is Obama’s organizing. Again, you got nothin.
churchillwasright said, 3 months ago

EZDEB: First, it’s Altgeld Gardens, not Altgert.

Second: if this is your best example of Obama’s success as a community organizer, you need your head examined. It was a complete failure, and is still a slum.

Third: You are the biggest racist on this site (OK, striper is, but you’re second). You are constantly bringing up race. You obviously voted for Obama out of white guilt (I’m assuming you’re white; if you’re black then there’s no further explaination necessary). His policies were secondary to you, except that he is NOT BOOOSH.

Therefore, anytime there is critisism of Obama’s policies, your only response is: “BOOOSH was worse, you loved him, therefore you’re a racist. ” Policy doesn’t even enter into your racist mind. Disguisting indeed.

I really hate to bring up race in these posts, but people like you make it really hard.
GNWachs said, 3 months ago

@ezdeb: If this is your best example of what Obama accomplished he is much worse a CO than anyone imagined. Seriously, why did you bring this up? thought nobody would check?

From wiki

It is one of the densest concentrations of potentially hazardous pollution sources in North America. Many of the landfills that surround them are unregulated, and some of those are still being used. Since most of these landfills as well as many industrial plants are located along the waterways surrounding the area, of the 18 miles (29 km) of rivers and lakes surrounding Altgeld Gardens, 11 miles (18 km) of them are unfit for human consumption and recreation, though many residents still fish in them.

Over the years, Altgeld Gardens has experienced various gang problems – yet the community is not regarded as ridden with the sort of bloody rivalries endemic to the North Side’s Cabrini Green community nor to the Robert Taylor Homes, near the historic Bronzeville neighborhood.
petergrt said, 3 months ago

ACORN, and related organizations, with which 0bama has been and continues to be closely associated are pure Marxist!!!

Cuban stile.

I have had personal run ins with ACORN in LA, and it was not pretty. They terrorize (a word I do not take lightly) even the most liberal of politicians. They love America as ‘reverend’ Wright does … and as does 0bama.

Which exactly why he wants to “fundamentally remake America”.
4uk4ata said, 3 months ago

Yes, God help us - a left-wing lobbying/interest group! Everyone knows only right-wing ones have the right to exist! Any left-winger who stands for what they believe for is a Marxist, and a communist, and an America-hater to boot.

Seriously, don’t you have anything better to do?

GNW:

Your (original) point was that Obama was a Chicago machine cog, right?

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/070826/3obama.htm

Churchill: I still believe the “reminded what happens” is racist. Don’t be so naive as to think that racism doesn’t appear in conversation, especially when the conversation is, um, about race! Phrases like “young buck”, “welfare queen”, etc don’t specifically say threat-from-black-person, but it would be silly to think they aren’t. This is especially true when the “threat” is actively utilized in fear-based campaign ads. Ponder this:

churchillwasright said, 3 months ago

EZDEB: You really need someone to help you think through your “examples”. They don’t help your arguments.

I was called a “young buck” when, uhh, I was a young buck. The definition is in the dictionary: “a teenage or young adult male”. I’ve heard sports announcers calling ballplayers that all my life. It never occurred to me that it is derogatory. I must have missed the DNC memo. Thanks for the education.

You could make a good case for “welfare queen”. Of course I’ve heard whites called this as well. Very un-PC. In any case, this is a word that didn’t even exist before LBJ’s failed “great society” policies that created them, and they do exist. In fact the mere mention that this policy, and others, have done more harm than good, and have created a generational underclass, have some calling me a racist. Pointing out that there are black scholars that agree with me is ignored.

And your Media Matters video is worthless. One of the commentators is a psychologist. They are discussing OBAMA’S racist remarks. That does not make THEM racist. The fact is, Obama sat in the pew of a black theologist for 20 years . I’m sure you would have, too, shaking your head up and down in agreement. Any discussion of this fact, and other, and how it affects Obama’s thinking is verboten, and makes one a racist.
striper77 said, 3 months ago

Lets just lump all the Obama and democrat supporters together:

Homosexuals, bleeep, lesbians, tree huggers, fur huggers, traitors, Muslims, African American, child molesters, bestiality, liberals, college professors, NEA, NAACP, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, abortion doctors, welfare participants, lazy, non-workers, non tax payers, etc.

I never realized half of the voters fit in those categories.

Of course all of them want the government to take care of them, but the chance of them giving the ultimate sacrifice for the country is Neal.
Anthony 2816 said, 3 months ago

Oh, look, Mr. Hate is back.
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

Church, it’s this type of thing I’m talking about:

“It’s not just small fry Republicans who have shown a penchant for making foot-in-the mouth racist cracks, and racially loaded attacks. Prominent Republican Presidents set the tone with their own verbal race bashing.

President Eisenhower never got out of the Old South habit of calling blacks “nigras.” In an infamous and well-documented outburst at a White House dinner party in 1954, Ike winked, nodded, and whispered to Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren that he understood why white Southerners wouldn’t want to “see their sweet little girls required to sit in school alongside some big black buck.”

President Nixon routinely peppered his talks with his confidants with derogatory quips about blacks. He enshrined in popular language racially-tinged code words such as, “law and order,” permissive society” “welfare cheats,” “crime in the streets,” “subculture of violence,” “subculture of poverty,” “culturally deprived” and “lack of family values.” And President Reagan once told a black reporter how he would treat black leaders said, “I said to hell with em.”

So maybe I was thinking of “big black buck”, not young buck. the point is not the particular term, tho, you know that, I’m sure. The video I linked to shows who continues to trot out racism. It isn’t dems or Obama. You’ll never get past Jeremiah Wright. Remember, sir. If one black person says something, even if it’s said loudly, obnoxiously and venomously, it does not represent all black people.

“Of course all of them want the government to take care of them, but the chance of them giving the ultimate sacrifice for the country is Neal.”

I’ll be sure to pass that on to the family of my daughter’s fiancee. The one who voted for Obama and was killed in action in Iraq 1/3/09. Thanks for the pain and unnecessary division, striper. That’s what you offer.
churchillwasright said, 3 months ago

EZDEB: It’s a good thing that Eisenhower didn’t call him a “big, black, guy” or that word would be politically incorrect too. And are you referring to Reagan, who proclaimed MLK’s birthday a national holiday?

But since you insist on going back 55 years, you must enjoy history. Let’s revue some:

Chris Charles: Race(ing) for Votes: Part I
Posted by chris@conservativenationalist.com on Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:00:00 AM

Preface

Conservatism stands for liberty and justice for all Americans. Conservatives believe in individual freedom. Conservatives do not force oppressive legislation upon citizens. Conservatism fights for the rights of all Americans to keep more of their hard earned money. Conservatism seeks to defend this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. So, why do Democrats overwhelmingly win the minority vote? Do minorities not believe in these things? I think they do, so it must be something else that is at play here…

Part I: A Brief History of the GOP

Slavery was the greatest mistake this country ever made, and liberals are quick to point that fact out to people that love America. They love to call this a ‘racist nation’ that was built on the backs of slaves. These America haters fail to mention that it was conservatives who opposed slavery; it was a Republican President that signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It was conservatives and Republicans that fought for the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery once and for all. They forget that it was conservatives that passed the 14th and 15th Amendments that granted equal protection and voting rights to all citizens, regardless of color. They also don’t mention that the first blacks in Congress were Republicans all the way back in the 1860’s. It wasn’t until 1934 that Democrats elected a black man to the US House of Representatives. The GOP had the fortitude of character to do what was right, even though to do nothing would have been much easier.

Anti-slavery conservatives were fought tooth and nail by the Democratic Party. The Democrats actively supported slavery; they opposed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the US Constitution. In fact, supporting slavery was their overriding agenda at the time.

That was a long time ago though; we shouldn’t judge the Dems on what their political ancestors did nearly 150 years ago, that would be unfair. We all make mistakes and we should all be forgiven as long as we admit our mistakes and take corrective action.

What’s that? You mean to tell me that the DNC spent the next 100 years trying to hold black people down? I don’t believe it!

Yes. The party of inclusion and diversity is really the party of exclusion and persecution. The party of Al Sharpton is the party of Jim Crow. The Party of the NAACP is also the party of the Ku Klux Klan.

After Republicans defeated slavery and passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, the Democratic Party went from a pro-slavery platform to an anti-black platform. For more than 100 years, the DNC fought to institutionalize racism in the form of Jim Crow laws, and other segregationist legislation. The Democratic Party and its supporters are the reason that blacks were treated as second class citizens until the late 1960’s. The founding fathers didn’t say that Rosa Parks had to sit in the back of the bus; Democrats did.

Ok, ok, so the Democrats were a little late to recognize that black people should be afforded the inalienable rights guaranteed by our Creator and our Constitution but they supported the civil rights movement of the 1960’s right?

Oh sorry, wrong again! Even 100 years after the Republicans ended slavery, (no thanks to Democrats) 80% of those that opposed the civil rights act of 1964 were Democrats. In stark contrast, more than 80% of GOP Congressman supported the legislation. (1)

Given this long and sad record of being on the wrong side of history, you might expect that the Democratic Party would admit their mistakes and beg Americans (especially black Americans) for forgiveness.

Not a chance!

Instead the DNC simply declared that it was the party of minorities. It became their platform to use minority groups to win elections by insisting that they would fight for them. They insisted that this country was so bleeep racist that the only way they could be equal, really equal, was to take government handouts. They said that blacks needed help (a lot of help) if they were to be successful in this racist nation. The Democratic Party is the reason racism was so entrenched in our society, for so long.

Over the years the Democratic Party has really changed. In the past, the Dems wanted to take everything from blacks: freedom, land, rights. Now the opposite is true, the DNC wants to give everything to blacks: jobs, housing, health care, ‘extra protections’, money, affirmative action, quotas, and so on.

Somehow, over the last 50 years, too many blacks have bought into this notion that the Democratic Party is the party that fights for blacks. The truth is the DNC is still keeping blacks subjugated with the subtle racism of lower expectations. The Dems have substituted overt racism with a quieter form that claims to advance the standing of blacks in society but really the hand of big brother is holding black people back, keeping them from being truly free. Democrats now celebrate anytime a person of color achieves a position of high standing because that person is a minority. Conservatives celebrate all Americans that are successful regardless of color, creed, or anything else for that matter.
Corosive Frog said, 3 months ago

striper; If half the population (The one who won the election AND popular vote, unlike somebody else) of your country is so abominable, have you ever considered moving away to, let’s say, Iran? No abortions, opposition or gays there.
foxglove16 said, 3 months ago

stripper’s posts are just mind boggling. Between the lies, dam lies, and misused statistics and his foaming at the mouth hatred… I just don’t have enough time to refute it all.
ezdeb said, 3 months ago

church, is Mr. Charles’ ideology supposed to add something to this topic? In the 20th century, it just has not been the republican party that has fought for the rights of common people at all, let alone minorities or oppressed groups. Color me unconvinced.

And yes, Reagan signed the bill into law, but it was only because he saw the writing on the wall. He and his fellows did not agree with automatic civil rights and considered MLK an agitator.
churchillwasright said, 3 months ago

^ You can’t handle the truth. (and you must not have read it because most of the piece dealt with the 20th century).
striper77 said, 3 months ago

Frog,

I was being sarcastic. I do not think half the people are for those agenda’s.
As far as the voting goes. Their was more voter fraud on this last election than ever in American history.
With acorn out and lax voting practices in existence, it will be impossible to ever know whom really one.
And as far as the senate and house goes. Most of the seats lost were so close that it appears the whole election was stolen.
In some states such as MN and AK the seat was just stolen.
There is reports out their where people voted up to ten times for Obama and the democrats. Then you look at all the homeless people that voted for Obama and the democrats for cigarettes or money. Then of course the dreaded remark that people will call racial. The numerous buses full of African Americans that voted all across the land in numerous locations.

In summary I personally believe only about 25% of the population does not care about anything except themselves and is for everything the Obama administration and democrats are for. This is a big jump of only about 10% a few decades ago.
