Democrats SUCK!!

[libby]

According to The Arizona Republic:

    "Obama foes at one point sang, "Bye Bye Black Sheep," a derogatory reference to the president's skin color, while protesters like Deanne Bartram raised a sign saying, "Impeach the Half-White Muslim!"



Certainly no racism there.

Or ignorance.  In June I was in Bluefield with a group of friends who go back just about every year for a few days, and during a conversation about Obama, one woman said, "I could deal with some of his stuff if he wasn't a Muslim." Not a single person contradicted her; in fact, they nodded in agreement. I said nothing because I don't discuss religion or politics with family and friends. I swear I think I'm the only one among all of them who is a democrat, and I get tired of "getting preached at," as my mother used to say.  The worst thing anybody said was in a group e-mail -- an old classmate wrote  "Obama will roast in hell."

So what?  Some believe he is a Muslim because of some of the things he does.  That doesn't make them racist which is what I believe you are implying here.  And so what if your classmate said "Obama will roast in hell" that doesn't make him/her a racist either and look at the awful things that were said about Bush, some much worse than that. HE IS NOT A GOD OR A PERFECT PERSON EVERYONE HAS TO LIKE AND BOW DOWN TO JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK.

Here's another little goodie for ya'll to laugh over and ignore.  Pretty good huh?  Wonderful job of bolstering foreign relations.


Russia Triples Rate to Fly US Astronauts to ISS
August 5, 2013
By Sara Noble
The price for one astronaut to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard the Soyuz spacecraft in 2016 is now $71 million! The Russians have tripled the price since we reset our relationship with them.

US tax dollars went into building the ISS to the tune of $60 billion.

Obama's destruction of the space program to save money is not looking very cost effective. His idea that private enterprise would invest in this has fallen flat like his other 'investments' with taxpayer money.

Obama hoped to place NASA's future on new goals, one of which was to make 'Muslims feel good about themselves' according to administrator Charles Bolden, but there was no coherent plan. Another goal was to land on an asteroid. There was no coherent plan for that either.

NASA was forced to lay off thousands of employees in 2010, the same year NASA began hiring student interns from the Arab Youth Venture Foundation, an organization in RAK, for the Educational Associates program. The program was previously reserved only for US citizens.

Sequester has allegedly cut the Muslim outreach program for now.

What about the other goal – to land on an asteroid by 2025 – how exciting and inspiring! An asteroid, wow! Why not on a shooting star or on space garbage?

That idea certainly didn't inspire as JFK once did in 1960 when he declared that we would have a man walk on the moon within ten years, a feat no one believed possible but JFK made you believe it was.

NASA also fakes global warming reports now as part of their new mission.

There was no strategy or plan behind the new NSA goals, according to the National Research Council report on NASA's strategic direction which they released in April of this year at the request of Congress.

One of the big beneficiaries of Obama's new discombobulated plan for space exploration is Tesla's Elon Musk, a big Obama donor.

You have every right to infer what you please from what I wrote, as do I from what you write/wrote. I did not mean to imply that you are ignorant. I think I made it pretty clear how I feel about family and friends whose political philosophies differ from mine. But in case I didn't, let me say that some of my best friends are republicans, and best friend in the whole world is a black woman.

I guess you did just say you were getting tired of it.  You are a lot more tolerant of differing views than the guys are and at least understand that everyone doesn't have the same opinion you do and don't put them down for it.

Sometimes, the shit you post is absolutely astounding.  That piece is absolute garbage on its face.

No; that makes them stupid.

You just love setting up straw men so that we can light fire to them don't you?  Please point out where anyone around here has said anything remotely like what you've written in bold.   What we have said is that much of the deep seated hatred of Obama has its roots in racism.  And that is true.  To deny it means you're living a sheltered life or have your head so far up your posterior that you can't see the light of day.

Every time anyone disagrees with his policies they are told it's just because he's black and we're being racist.  If a black disagrees he is either a traitor to his race or an Uncle Tom as well as an idiot.  How can a person think anything other than ya'll think he's a god who can do no wrong and is perfect because he happens to be black?

Straw Man

Here's an example right here of exactly what we're talking about:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A clown wearing a President Barack Obama mask appeared at a Missouri State Fair rodeo this weekend and the announcer asked the enthusiastic spectators if they wanted to see "Obama run down by a bull."

The antics led the state's second highest-ranking official, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, to denounce the performance in a tweet Sunday. He said it was "disrespectful" to the president.

"We are better than this," the Republican tweeted.

State Fair officials said the show in Sedalia was "inappropriate" and "does not reflect the opinions or standards" of the fair. "We strive to be a family friendly event and regret that Saturday's rodeo badly missed that mark," they said in a statement Sunday.

It wasn't clear if any action will be taken against the performers.

Perry Beam, who was among the spectators, said "everybody screamed" and "just went wild" as the announcer talked about having the bull run down the clown with the Obama mask.

"It was at that point I began to feel a sense of fear. It was that level of enthusiasm," Beam, a 48-year-old musician from Higginsville, said Sunday, referring to the reaction from the crowd that filled the fair's grandstand.

He said another clown ran up to the one wearing the Obama mask, pretended to tickle him and played with the lips on the mask. About 15 minutes into the performance, the masked clown had to leave after a bull got too close, Beam said.

Beam was at the rodeo with his wife and a student they were hosting from Taiwan. He said they were having a good time until the end of the rodeo.

"It was the usual until the very end at bull riding," he said. "As they were bringing the bulls into the chute and prepping them ... they bring out what looks like a dummy. The announcer says 'Here's our Obama dummy, or our dummy of Obama.

"They mentioned the president's name, I don't know, 100 times. It was sickening," Beam said. "It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally you'd see on TV."

Officials with the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association, the organization that coordinated the rodeo, did not return phone calls seeking comment Sunday.

After Beam and his family returned home, he posted a photo of the clown in the Obama mask on his Facebook page. The photo and the posting were then promoted online by a blog, Showmeprogress.com, which elicited a huge response Sunday on Twitter.

Scott Holste, spokesman for Missouri's Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, said Sunday in an email that Nixon "agrees that the performance was disrespectful and offensive, and does not reflect the values of Missourians or the State Fair."

Beam, who grew up attending the State Fair and attends the fair just about every year, said he has never seen anything like the Obama mask display, which he felt was inappropriate for a state-sanctioned event that receives state funding.

"This isn't the Republican Missouri State Fair," Beam said. "It was cruel. It was disturbing. I'm still sick to my stomach over it. ... I'm standing here with a mixed-race family. My wife's from Taiwan, and so was the student (his family was hosting). I've never seen anything so blatantly racist in my life.

"If an old country boy picks up on something like that, imagine what a person of color would think."
