    Ah! This explains Limbaugh and Coulter!

    Doesn’t this also explain religion?!? (and the Right (politically speaking?)

    Fairportfan2: Beck, Hannity and O’Reilly too.

    It absolutely does. And until the day comes when courses in logic and critical thinking become mandatory high school rather than college elective, expect it to stay that way for a long time.

    so the only way to world peace is if I don’t think or question?

    Ironically following with out question has lead to the worst of human history from Mao, Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot to the Moors, Inquisition, and The Crusades.

    The road to ruin is paved with good intentions.

    It is funny, liberals and conservatives accuse each other of blindly following. And yet nothing changes…

    No, Dr. Jekyll, it’s not just liberals and conservatives who blindly follow. It’s everyone who doesn’t do exactly as I say!

    You are all missing the point–what does her dad do for a living???? I bet he can hear the footsteps now…

    Edcole, good point and very logical. The cons. would call it socialism. pouncingtiger, yes. Kingrat, that’s what the right wing said two years ago. Called you bad names if you did. But they still ate their Freedom Fries… yummmm.

    That’s weird, “her way” sounds a lot like Communism.

    I guess you missed Letterman this week. It’s not only the right wingers who make constant appearances on the news, radio, and “talk” shows.

    Actually I find that both conservatives & liberals accuse each other of non-thinkingly following. It’s true on both sides to some extent, although I find that libs are much better at thinking they’re thinking when they’re actually not.

    Gee, is that the smell of burnt toast?
    You can all just follow me. I’ll lead you back to peace,

    may be. Believe what you wish and have a Bloody Mary.

    I find for many people, thinking for one’s self amounts to seeking one’s own truth.

    That’s not Communism.. That’s Totalitarianism. Sometimes the terms are confused because the Russians (and a few other countries then and now) made it something it is not. The warped true Marxism into a nationalist/socialist nation. Just a little tidbit I thought I would share. Maybe if more people didn’t believe propaganda we’d know more about /real/ Communism. ;)

    So much hate, so little time.
    Maybe a good dose the peaceful “flower power” of the 60’s, without the drugs, is what’s needed today.

    The philosophy of communism is “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. Sounds like a great concept until you throw human beings into the mix. We as a species are incapable of long-term altruism. Of course there are individuals like Mother Theresa who spend their lives giving of themselves, but they are notable because they are the exceptions. There will always be someone like Stalin or Mao who manipulates what looks like an ideal society on paper into something that may have the same name, but is nothing like the concept.

    By the way, even the pure concept is nonsense. Without competition, there is no creativity. One of the reasons this country has been so successful is because we have nurtured competition and creativity. The current administration is trying to stifle both and look what’s happening. Jobless rates are skyrocketing, businesses are closing and a great deal of the taxpayer base is now on the receiving end from the government. (I include myself in this - I haven’t had a job in more than a year.)

    o’reilly and hannity are just hucksters making a buck promoting themselves but the two really dangerous ones are beck and limbaugh.

    If you only believe what you believe, because somebody else said you should believe it, you have no right to expect anyone else to respect your opinion.

    Good grief people…you do know this is a comic, right? So much mindless devotion to political dogma in these comments.

    “Without competition there is no creativity” - what a ridiculous statement.

    I’m starting to believe the idea that Fox News is actually a comedy channel. Like Stephen Colbert, except that Colbert acknowledges that he is satire. There is so much disinformation coming from Fox that it would be more than a full-time job to debunk it all, even given how easy it is to debunk it.

    It also explains Make a Difference Day and all the WH-driven propaganda we have seen in the comics pages and on prime-time TV this week.

    Critical Thinking Time, people. Lemmings know how to walk to the left as well as to the right.

    ProLib, (I assume you also mean women’s rights and issues), Obama hasn’t lied. You are lying about that! You stop lying! He hasn’t manipulated anyone. If anything, he has deferred to congress, (the lawmakers, remember he can’t make laws.), too much! Dang I wish more people had payed attention in civics class. He is not shutting down Faux News, so stop spreading paranoia. He doesn’t have the power, and you know it. You and your fellow travelers are the ones trying to be manipulators. Dude, why not just take President Obama at his word, and then judge him if he doesn’t keep it? You cons. are jumping the gun, making neo-cons look stupid and/or vindictive,and it’s turning people off. Democrats can run next year on the question, “Do you really want those kooks running things?”

    And I know plenty of people (some of whom I’d consider quite intelligent under other circumstances!) who’d vote/say “Yes!” without a moment’s hesitation. “Do it MY WAY®”, indeed…

    AKHenderson the copyright on the song probably belongs to Paul Anka - considering that he’s the composer. (and Elvis had his own cover version of the tune. maybe his estate should also sue?)

    The government governs best that governs least. BOTH sides want power. Last time I looked Will to Power is a bad thing for folks who want to be left alone. OBTW, quit trying to force me to share. MY stuff. Leave me alone.

  35. ProLibertate

    I never heard a single one of those people Obama attacks. I don’t form my ideas based on what others say, I only base them on FACTS.

    The FACT is that Obama:


    • didn’t hold a single campaign promise

    • lied about his true motivations, especially about being “racially neutral” during his campaign (he hates white people, read his “Dreams…”)

    • doesn’t respect the US constitution

    • attempts the worst power grab of any president, ever

    • set up puppet “czars” with totally illegitimate powers

    • accepts a Nobel peace price that is absurdly bestowed on him

    • tries to silence the opposition in the most fascist way

    • bows to the king of Saudi Arabia, an evil dictator

    • said explicitly that if it came to an open confrontation, he would side with the Muslims

    • has an abysmal voting record as senator; e.g. he supported legal restrictions on encryption

    • is anti-gun like hell and guns are the only thing that stands between freedom and tyranny

    • he wants to impose a socialist health care system that will ruin the US economy

    i’m not a “Neo-Con”, I’m LIBERTARIAN. I consider the Republicans as just as evil as the Democrats, although even the Democrats probably didn’t realize what a cuckoo’s egg they hatched with Obama.

    The retarded left-right thinking that is so evident even on this forum here is typical of the kind of brainwashing people suffered.

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb asks exactly the right question in “The Black Swan”: there’s no way anyone could possibly find any connection between abortion and tax levels, yet Democrats are adamantly for high taxes and abortion rights, while Republicans are against abortion and for low taxes (the people, not the politicians).

    That’s the result of pigeon holing. People follow a party line without thinking.

    And that’s what we see here: people listening to speeches (!) to decide if a guy is “good”.

    Obama talks the talk, but he definitely doesn’t walk the walk.

    He received his luxury home in Chicago from a known and now convicted mafia boss.

    Most of his campaign contributions came from Wall Street and he immediately paid them back with his “bailout”, which was especially generous for those most supportive of his political camp. He appointed people to power positions who were Wall Street insiders.

    As for his Olympic propaganda, which cost the US tax payers MILLIONS just in traveling costs, it would have helped more of his political allies. Axelrod, his campaign manager, stood to earn tens of millions if Chicago had won the nomination.

    That’s the real Obama.

    And now he tries to attack the one popular US news station that can be dangerous to him…

    I’ll lighten up when Obama is out of the office and someone like Ron Paul took over to correct the mistakes of the last 20 years - just to keep the goal small and reasonable.
