More than any of the other multitude of reasons I don't like this, it looks to me like a major step toward Totalitarianism. I honestly believe that some of you obviously intelligent people are stuck in the game of "defending your side". At all costs. We're swirling down a shithole in case you haven't noticed. Some of you seem to be smiling and waving as we go down. I may not be able to save myself, or anyone else as we're being flushed, but I sure as hell ain't gonna be happy about it. We are giving government control of every aspect of our lives. Classify that 'ism' however you like, but whatever it is, it isn't freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol_Bengal Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Well... the dude on the video is an idiot because he's playing out of the book the democrats always used... object to any movement or change but don't offer legitimate alternatives... Jamie - anymore I'm just going to call you the Obama apologist... because it appears as though no matter what happens you wouldn't admit to having made a mistake voting for him no matter what. Folks... At least acknowledge that they're all shady as hell and you're best interests aren't #1 on their agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well then hell, I should not have participated in the electoral process and done my civic duty at all, maybe then Obama wouldnt have won, oh wait...that means McCain might have. Who did you vote for Vol? Now as to being critical, you must have missed where I was critical of the closeness of Obama to the banks, that I dont like Geitherner or Summers, and am pissed that Obama wants to close GITMO (which I am for) but set up other things (which the technical term is escaping me at the moment), and that I think Hilary is just as big a neo-con as the past admin was. So again, am I happy with everything he has done? NO!! But lets take a step into the other dimention where McCain (your lesser evil) would have won. Phil Graham is now treasury secretary... the man responsible (along with Clinton by signing it) for some of the biggest deregulation problems in our history as a country now has the keys to the castle. There was not one inch of fiber in my being that was going to not vote for Obama and let that happen. Not one. So yes, spare me the "Don't blame me I voted for the other guy?" stuff.
