These posts are getting ridiculous. Does anyone realize that no matter how much you sit on Obama his supporters will not change their mind? And no matter how much evidence the supports post that he's a great President that it will not change the minds of those who don't like him or his policies?
I don't like him or his cabinet or his policies and I don't give a shit what anyone says I will never like him, call em racists or an asshole or misinformed I don't care I do my research.
Nothing at all wrong with that, J&C. You have opinions, just as we all do. There should never be any sort of requirement that we must all share the same opinion. That really would get boring.
And there's nothing wrong with people interpreting the facts differently. The U.S. didn't get the nod from the Olympic Committee: FACT. Some blame Obama. While others say that's just the way it goes. If we'd gotten it, Obama would have gotten some credit. So I see nothing wrong with handing him some (though not all) of the blame for us not getting it.
Where it gets ridiculous though is when people claim that banks were given "stipends" to make loans to poor people. Or that there are going to be "death panels", and all the doctors are going to quit and become school teachers, if health care is reformed. Or if the money that went to GM had been passed out to the taxpayers, each American could have received a check for $86,000. People who are going to be conspiracy theorists should at least develop some basic math skills,
ya know?!
Not liking Obama because there most certainly are people within his administration and his party (including himself, quite possibly) who want to enact more stringent gun control laws, that makes sense. Are they going to be able to do that (overtly)? No. Are they going to send troops in to break down people's doors and seize weapons en masse? No. But you have some people who take "factoids", we'll call them, and then they create these wild and crazy conspiracy theories... stocking up on canned goods and preparing for the end of the world. I know some of these people. I use to attend a church where some of them still congregate. They are some scary human beings. My little arsenal isn't just about keeping the
gubment honest. It's also there just in case some of these
fundies go off the reservation and start hearing voices about getting "called home"...
and we all need to go together. My 100 rnd. drums say that 40 or 50 of them will likely get to "the house" ahead of me. Don't wait up. I'll be there directly, folks. :ak47:
These people see themselves as "
the cure". And there are more than a few people, like myself, who are not so much supporters of Obama, but we're more worried about "the cure" than we are about Obama. I would support Obama as President for life and even call him
Caesar, before I'd see anything that looked or thought like Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann even sweeping the floor in the White House.
