RWR…I know that the label “evil” is tossed around a lot these days. (error corrected)

Toss it around all you want. Where true, it will stick, and Paine’s position is absolutely spot-on and accurate, both in his time and our own.

“These are the times that try men’s souls …”

Indeed they are.

You originally said that Pres Obama “. . . pretending to not know that ACORN is HUGELY funded by the taxpayers.” In the quote you provided and highlighted Pres Obama says, “I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.”

Where is the pretending? He says he did not know, but you have not established that he does know, or did know that ACORN was hugely funded. I doubt any one person knows the funding levels of every entity that receives federal funds. (errors corrected)

He is pretending not to know how much ACORN has been getting.

He says he did not know, but if you can’t see the lie in that, you are blind.

Maybe they don’t know how much funding every program gets, but before you even look at Obama’s close personal ties with ACORN (which do run very deep, easily destroying any assertion that he didn’t know their funding level – he certainly used his influence to get it as high as is was), maybe some consideration should be given to the simple fact that there is far too much government money floating around there in the first place. There is no provision in the Constitution for organizations like ACORN to be getting a single red cent from the federal government at all. There need not be so much money out there that people in Washington can’t keep track of it all.

Is any of this starting to make sense to you?

zzy…I don’t comment on these blogs to have every little thing I say picked apart by an anal retentive troll like yourself. You have your views and I have mine. You don’t respect anything I say and disect it like you are a lawyer and I am on trial. I resent that, and I refuse to engage you in this nitpicking. I will say what I please and ignore your sarcasm and lack of respect for my opinions. Because OPINIONS is what we are expressing here. Some of it is conjecture, some is fact, some is BS. But I will not engage anyone who trashes my comments the way you do. I have more important things to do than to try and justify my comments to the likes of you.

WOW! You answered one of several questions I posed. One, that is exceptional and terrific. I applaud you for answering one question. Though you still have to work on the name calling, because that is definitely childish.

You see, I wasn’t aware, so I asked a question.

You originaly said that Pres Obama “. . . pretending to not know that ACORN is HUGELY funded by the taxpayers.” In the quote you provided and highlighted Pres Obama says, “I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.”

Listen, you initially responded to what I wrote. I responded to you. If you did not initiate contact with me, I would have no reason to address you. I welcome the notion that you will not address me. Avoid commenting on what I have to say, and I will not respond. Should you elect to comment on my comment, I will certainly respond.

In a nutshell, you will not have to justify your “opinions, conjecture and BS” to me, if you don’t comment on what I write.

Stay out of the kitchen if you can’t handle the heat.

Either that, or he is evil.

I can emphatically tell you it’s the latter.

Never forget the words of Thomas Paine:

Government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one. – Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

He does, doesn’t he? That was one of the points I tried to make earlier until it was picked apart by the troll trial lawyer, zzy. Obama has played dumb so many times, I am starting to wonder if he really does live in a bubble, shielded away from the reality of what is happening in this country. I can see no other explanation for his incredible lack of clarity. Either that, or he is evil. Either explanation works for me.

OBAMA: George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.

This is proof of just how out of touch Obama is.

Government corruption and the onslaught of socialism is by far the biggest and most pressing issue this country faces today, especially since those same corrupt socialists are now pandering to our enemies.

Obama pretends not to know a lot. I remember Bill Clinton doing the same thing. Not so much Bush, though he was as corrupt as any of them.

It’s a matter of great pride that Americans are now getting their heads out of the sand and working against this great evil we face today!

Also pretending to not know that ACORN is HUGELY funded by the taxpayers.
Did he really say that? Maybe a link to a quote, him actually saying this, would be helpful. Though I have read that he worked for them, so it is diffucult to accept that he does not know where their funding comes from. Huge, medium, or small parts of ACORN funding.

Here’s the link you asked for…
http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/09/obama-on-acorn-not-something-ive-followed-closely.html

STEPHANOPOULOS: How about the funding for ACORN?

OBAMA: You know, if — frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely. I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Both the Senate and the House have voted to cut it off.

OBAMA: You know, what I know is, is that what I saw on that video was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So you’re not committing to — to cut off the federal funding?

OBAMA: George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.

I listened to Chris Christie last night on Hannity. I liked what I heard.

The problem with that is simply that Christie is just another corrupt Republican. Don’t just listen to what he says, look at what he has done and what his conservative critics say about him.

Of course you’re going to like what he says. Isn’t that largely what got Clinton and Obama elected? People liking what they said?

Anyone who hasn’t slept through year 2009 should know better than that.

I never said that, but thanks for the lecture, zyzz. I only mentioned the ONE HUGE rally in DC in recent history…the one on 9/12.

What you did say, because I quoted you, because I rarely do not not quote someone, is, “. . . over a million people march on DC on Sept. 12th and he doesn’t even mention it?” My first statement was a question, and I quoute myself, “How do you know what Pres Obama is aware of, or isn’t aware of?”

Yes, you only mentioned the one huge rally, though MM’s post is about a school rally. Therefore, it is not a leap to address rallies in general.

BTW, you still have not answered the question.

So nice of you to call my attention to my many flaws. I guess that stating an opinion on here is now subject to ridicule and derision.

We all have flaws, though taking someone to task for not doing something, speaking to facts not in evidence, and assigning motives to them is especially egregious.

I provided an example sighting bow hunting. This is personal to me because I am a bow hunter. I would not take anyone to task for being silent on bow hunting. I have no expectation that it has to be commented on by any single individual. I would engage them if they actively demonstrated an incorrect knowledge of the sport.

However, your arguments are rather childish and silly.

OH? How so? Be an adult and deconstruct my arguements. As I am deconstructing yours.

As you probably can figure out by now…I loathe and despise the liberal radicals in this country and what they are doing to destroy it.

Yep, that is certainly an opinion.

So my criticism is based on facts. Fact…Obama is trying to socialize this incredible, capitalist country and trash its Constitution.

Fair enough, then you would support the removal of all vestiges of socialism that pre-date Pres Obama? Farm subsidies, scientific research grants, public schools and Universities, Contractors, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, not to mention a entire host of alphabet soup agenciencies (SEC, FAA, PGC, FDA, EPA, NEA), etc.

Fact…Obama DOES pretend to not know things when we know darn well he does know…

This is an opinion that you asserting as fact. Same questions from earlier. How do you know what someone knows, and does not know? How do you know when someone is pretending, or is not pretending?

[Some snark just for fun. Are you a mind reader? Tarot card reader? Tea leave reader?]

Rev. Wright’s sermons comes to mind.

Like ir or not, Pres Obama parsed the questions put to him about the published videos of Rev Wright. He said he was unfamiliar with those specific statements made in those videos.

Not defending Pres Obama, but am merely stating facts.

Also pretending to not know that ACORN is HUGELY funded by the taxpayers.

Did he really say that? Maybe a link to a quote, him actually saying this, would be helpful. Though I have read that he worked for them, so it is diffucult to accept that he does not know where their funding comes from. Huge, medium, or small parts of ACORN funding.

Fact…Any president who knows about a march on DC consisting of over ONE MILLION people, should darn well comment on it. Good grief!

Again, I ask why? Why does any President have to comment on any march or rally of any size? Were there one million people at the rally MM mentions in this post? Is it OK for Pres Obama not to mention it?

Actually, Pres Obama did mention and acknowledge the concerns of protests, in general, though not specifically the 9/12 rally, on the Letterman Show.

And by the way, as you said,

you do not know what I know, or do not know. And, I do not know what you know, or do not know.

I guess we should just keep it that way. You can be a real twit sometimes. Sigh.

Quoting me, that a good thing.

Though your conclusion is dissappointing and only proves that you will continue to speculate, assign motive, guess, have unmet expectations, assert facts not in evidence, . . . which is so sad, when you could simply ask questions, and then know.

Using the perjorative ‘twit’, is that childish, or an adult way to conduct a conversation? Who is childish again?

I too long for a post-racial America, but anyone who expected that the election of Barack Obama was going to herald the new age was either ignorant or foolish.

You could predict this so easily! Anyone who actually checked into some of Obama’s past associates would have known that he is a radical black supremicist who wants reparations for his people. How could we NOT be racially divided like never before? The election of this particular black man is what is causing the problem. He believes that the black people should now have the power and the hell with whitey. Does anyone doubt that any more?

From the DBCAEO web site:

Our mission is to actively support parental choice to empower families to increase quality educational options for Black children.

What does the race of the children have to do with this?

Indeed, why did the organizers bring race into this issue? Do they perceive some political goal is served? Do they feel the necessity of remarking on their race because the President himself, who is black, permitted the termination of the highly successful DC program? Do they wish to make certain that people understand that they are black parents opposed to Obama and the Democrats’ craven pandering to the NEA, doing incalculable damage to their childrens’ education in the process?

I too long for a post-racial America, but anyone who expected that the election of Barack Obama was going to herald the new age was either ignorant or foolish. On the other hand, these folks are organizing politically to fight for their children’s educational opportunities, and I am unwilling to criticize the DC parents (doubtless overwhelmingly black proportionally) who for the name they have chosen without at least hearing from them why they thought it was important.

New Jerseyans are starting to get it, though the Republicans definitely picked the wrong candidate. I’m doing my research on Chris Christie still, and I’m not really feeling any enthusiasm.

I listened to Chris Christie last night on Hannity. I liked what I heard.
