Good fodder for Obama posters here. Posters about him reflect this puppy dogs, doves and rainbows feeling. The Obama Utopia. If Obama can stay pretty clean, do some good things as Senator, and then become Governor of IL, he could be unstoppable in 2012 or 2016. Scary stuff.

It's political beliefs that matter, and socialism is bad for everybody, (accept those high in government or high-level academia) especially poor people, of all races. Obama is a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, no thanks. His 'Change', 'Hope' and 'Progress' mantras are actually somewhat self-mocking. Making your own Obama posters is totally addicting.

The swastika only correctly represents the Nazi party if it:

The swastika DOES have several meanings and ignorance should not be allowed to destroy the good meanings by lumping them in with the evil meanings.

One may or may not draw any conclusions, there, since the posters are designed by artists in support of the candidate, not the candidate himself. Sen. Obama <strong>is</strong> a socialist. Of this I have little doubt. The poster designs may simply exacerbate that fact. I tend to agree with those who think the Obama posters look a lot like the old Soviet bloc propaganda posters of old.

Our point is the war was NOT fought for slavery ONLY. Once again, the main reason was for our own states rights! It also could be 'rehabilitated' in a way, if only the truth about that war was told to the students, and not the blame the south dreck thats there now. I doubt it will happen, and it would take generations. I won't fly the flag, but I know its MUCH MORE than slavery. I know its been tainted like the swasticka.

The point about che is great, so it is with the keffiyeh, but don't be a fool. Even though the swastika has been used in symbology since the Stone Age - its been forever tainted by the Nazis, dont think that the stars and bars is going to rehabilitated when the swastika has not.
