Rags, thanks. I’m glad I jumped back on this thread and caught your remark. Sorry for the delay in responding.

I appreciate our military so much, and in so many ways. Thank you for your service.

According to FBI sources.

Since when did the people of your ilk pay the slightest bit of attention to anything relating to the FBI?

None. The “information” produced by torture was bogus. According to FBI sources.

If it is nothing, then release the memos. If the birth certificate is nothing, then show us the vaulted bc. If your college transcripts are nothing, then let us see them. Bush showed us his report cards, found out he was a C student, what you hiding their President Shady.

None. The “information” produced by torture was bogus. According to FBI sources.

And in typical LGM fashion, he lists NOTHING in the way of sources or links or anything else. We are just supposed to take his word, which has been proven to be nothing more than what comes out of the back end of a donkey who ate bad alfalfa.

STILL WAITING ON THE REPORT THAT TELLS US HOW MANY LIVES WERE SAVE BY A FEW OUNCES OF WATER.

None. The “information” produced by torture was bogus. According to FBI sources.

I agree with what you said. It was well put.

Americans are so conditioned on the issue of a person’s race that they seemingly cannot see them for their merit or paucity of merit as an individual. A generalization, of course.

This is not confined to one race, and there are metrics that show that Obama is almost universally approved by African-Americans, who polling shows hold views on many issues that are opposed to THE ONE. These uniquely high popularity numbers for Obama I think are only attributable to his race, and keep his popularity higher than would be the case if he were another race.

I also think that polling in the white population is skewed, with many people reporting their views are more favorable than they actually are. Sort of a combination of guilt and The White Man’s Burden syndrome.

Personally, I’m really ready to leave all this crap behind us. I loved the military as being the closest thing to a meritocracy I have personally ever experienced.

I hear that. Don’t try to hang His Incompetence solely around the neck of us black folks

MajorO, I agree with everything you said, except this first statement. I think it’s backwards. It’s not that his incompetence is being blamed on his racial identity, but his racial identity is being used as a cover by the media to ignore his incompetence. I have never before seen so many plates, keychains, coffee mugs, and CDs of speeches for someone who has accomplished nothing other than to be elected President. Perhaps if these hawkers could wait at least until the end of his term (hopefully the only term) to push on us the wonder of Obama, I could accept it. (Of course, by then, America will be unrecognizable, if not a smoking pile of ash, and no one will be interested in or able to afford the trinkets and collections of speeches.) I have never seen Nancy Pelosi plates, or Harry Reid keychains, or collections of Chris Dodd speeches.

In the media, I keep expecting one of them to come out and say, “Isn’t he CUTE? I think he just looked at me…he did!”, etc, etc. The media seem so enchanted by the idea that a (half) black man could accomplish so much. That, to me, is the racist part. Those on this blog who bring up his racial identity are trying to point out this hypocrisy and lax standard for success that translates into a fawning, slobbering media. Conservatives analyze results, liberals count noses.

Obama runs the risk of being patronized to death, and it is intrinsically linked to his being half black. But I think it’s important to recognize that those that mention his incompetence in the same sentence with his racial identity are NOT making a cause and effect statement.

“Cheney and the Lady, 2012″(?)

I love it!

I think the President will find, upon reflection, that to bring the worst of the worst terrorists inside the United States would be cause for great danger and regret in the years to come.

One source of great danger is staring us in the face. If Obama moves the Gitmo terrorists to prisons in the US, what’s to stop them from converting other prisoners to their cause?

That has already happened without the aid of Gitmo extremists. The four men arrested for the recent NYC terrorist attack knew each other from prison. And three of the four were introduced to Islam while in prison. My source on that is from MSNBC:

New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said he believed the defendants knew each other from their time behind bars. Relatives said Payen, David Williams and Onta (pronounced ON-tay) Williams were introduced to Islam in prison.

Let’s bring more Muslim extremists into our prisons. What could go wrong?

Yes, I do play a pretty mean banjo. You, I suspect, are an expert at squealing like a pig.
