*pssst.....Obama is Bush Lite.....*

You really should update that talking point, Muse. Obama is Chocolate Nixon with regard to ethics, and extra-strength Carter on incompetence. For dodging the responsibilities of his office though, he's setting a benchmark of his very own.

I think it's clear whores have values and standards, whatever they are. It's why they can command a price in the market.

As for "curtailing Americans' freedoms as a response to barbarity," let's start by dismantling the Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Theater.

Totally for it. Also ending the Kabuki theater that we call airport security.

Worlds apart

And that I like being bad

He doesn't look bad; he looks like a fucking idiot.

Walk round like that for a few minutes and he'll end up locked up.

It might help if either of you put any meat on the bones of what you're saying.

Also, you respond to him as if he's got rational reasons for his opinions, but when called on the carpet -- he can never give you any.

And substituting Israeli-style security. Real profiling. It actually works. Now if we actually defeated Islam,


You want to wipe out a billion and a half people?

No, I am more optimistic -- and more accurate -- than Paul Ehrlich. I do want to wipe out an ideology that is adhered to by 1.5 billion people and that is poisonous, yes. Most of the 10-30% of Muslims who explicitly endorse violent jihad will endorse something else. Most of the 95% of Muslims who remain silent will continue to do so. As for the tens to hundreds of thousands actively perpetrating violent jihad, yes, I would love to see them all meet Allah tomorrow. Even more, i would love to see their disappointment when they expect to meet Allah and instead meet something akin to Buddy Hackett naked, not quite the 72 virgins, you know. Since credulity is the hallmark of such believers, wouldn't it be nice if we convert them all into some harmless creed, like say thompsonism


we wouldn't need that at all. But because we appease, IMO, we need something, just not what we've got today


It would appear that you are infavor of snuffing a billion and a half people. How very christian of you.\]

I am not a Christian. (It's sometimes hard not to quote Bertrand Russell.)

maybe where YOU come from, (UK was it) here in St Louis he'd be accepted as one of those quirky people


tried to find pics but apparently there are none to be found, but there is a black (possibly gay)

You don't know but because you are homophobic you have to put your bigoted opinion up for us to notice...thanx we all know who you are.

nothing homophobic about noting his actions lean towards the stereotypical "gay" and yet not jumping to the conclusion he is SURELY gay...
but you PRETEND it means anything that fits YOUR VIEW.

man that prances and dances along Kingshiway Ave here every day dressed in a tiara, powder blue tutu, complete with wand... either people/police don't care, or he has ALOT of money to pay his fee/fines cause he is there EVERY DAY


Is it against the law where you live, for someone you believe to be gay, to play dress up?

I'm not the one who said a person you played dress up in public would he locked up, matter of a fact if you were able to read English I REFUTED that conclusion in that post

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the odd part, or the part that would make it seem worrisome, is that he does it across the street from barnes/jewish children's hosptial


So now in addition to you thinking he is gay you also seem to think he is a child molester. Yup the phrase punkassmotherucker perfectly fits a punk with this mindset.

I never said I thought he was gay, I did note there was a possibility he was gay, if had the comprehension skills of a grade school child you'd know the difference. I mentioned his proximity to a children's hospital because IF the authorities were going to be concerned about his actions, surely being around children would heighten that concern.

Close. One, otherwise known as "The One Under Whom The Seas Shall Recede, Thus Enabling Him To Golf On The Beach"


Besides you and your mom who else knows him as that?

He and Himself. Michelle. Probably Valerie Jarrett. I'd guess about the 10-15%of the population who are Obama acolytes. It's pretty much his term, you know.

has big ears that nevertheless are incapable of hearing or processing anything said outside of his own utterances

Just which occupant of 1600 pensylvania ave was different?

While most Presidents have some narcissistic traits, Obama is a pathological narcissist, as evidenced by his inability to accept disagreement without getting incrediblity irritated and angry; his pathological use of the first person pronoun, his desire to insert himself into every conversation or speech, etc. It would be hard to find one who compared. LBJ may have been an arrogant, SOB and prick, but he did listen to you before punching you in the mouth. Obama is sui generis.
and is fairly articulate when reading speeches written by others.

Which resident of 1600 pensylvania avenue has ever written his own speeches?

Reagan wrote a number of them. In the days before speechwriters, almost all Presidents did. I leave it to historians to indicate when that trend changed, but certainly from the Republic's founding through most of the 1800's and probably the early 20th century. Or did Ben Rhodes actually write the Gettysburg Address?

The other has smaller ears that actually listen to people

Who besides carl rove?

Rove is a blowhard who is often wrong. It's not worth my time to defend him.
and is fairly articulate when speaking off the cuff.

"is our children learning"


Incoherent speech is worse than ungrammatical speech and I'm a grammar Nazi.
They both spend too much though, by a lot.

Perhaps that is because there is no difference between them. We are still in the sand box and we are still in gitmo. Same shit different flies.

The fundamental difference is ideology. Bush loved America. I think Carter once did, including when he was President. Obama is anti-Western, anti-American. So he's much worse.

Thank you. That would support my suggestion that, with some exceptions, speeches were self-written prior to the 20th century.
