My oh my, cfukara, you and sacredheart make a wonderful couple of loving people with such insight between you. Do ask her whether what you say is also what Gandhi would have said. At the same time ask her for her thoughts on World President Obama’s war in Afghanistan. Shouldn’t we just stay the hell out of there or make peace with them. They are real sweethearts when you get to know them.

” … those who relied on the power of tanks and arms to put down the will of a people. …”

Do the following sound familiar? “shock and awe”? “Bremmer”? “they will welcome us as heroes”? “‘mission accomplished’ on an aircraft carrier”? “surge”?

What would the American Indians think of it?
How about the Australian Aborigines – who were massacred by the gun trotters?
And the Africans who bore the brunt of the horrid evils of military invasion, colonialism and slavery?

Does history suggest that those who “relied on the superior power of tanks and arms” more often than not get their way?

” .. Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words must mean something. ..

Except, of course, when it comes to Israel: Those paupers just thumb their noses at that UN and the rest of the gentile world – which must feed them. [After all, it may be said that the UN's predecessor, the League of Nations, sowed the seeds of the discontent and the on-going carnage in the Middle East back in 1945 ..]

My twisted heart and brain forgives you. Are you referring to Obama or Jesus Christ as the Messiah that I get my attacks from? I take orders from and worship neither. I had lost faith in the republican party’s ability to put anything other than their own greed first long before I had ever heard Obama’s name even mentioned. It also is not bitter hatred towards anything conservative or republican. It is more like utter contempt. My contempt stems from what they done to themselves and what they have allowed themselves to become. As for being delusional…take a long look at the people leading the republican party. Limbaugh, Palin, Jindal, Steele and let’s not forget the ex-President and his VP. Care to rethink the delusional bit? Think about their assaults on the constitution, our reputation and the greed that brought our nation to the brink of ruin. Who drank the Kool-Aid?

Well then I owe you my profound apologies sacredh and hope you have it in your twisted heart to forgive me. It was obvious you are very ill from a serious disease and I now recommend that you get a better strong psychiatrist [any weaker one who handles you in your present condition will commit suicide] and voluntarily submit for prolonged observation. It is a sign of the malady you suffer from that delusions occur whenever you are not asleep [maybe it is the Kool-Aid; lay of that for a while] but I did note an improvement. Using sarcasm is actually an art form [so you have a compliment from me] but the family owning the business and putting you in charge some days will soon lead to the end of that just like the NY Times. And for your own sake, take it easier to end 2012, I promise at the latest because it may happen much sooner, nevertheless if you don’t want to sit with your head in your hands and cry, just wait a while. The man you get your attacks from is not the Messiah; you are worth better than him. I hope that I am handling this a little better and to your liking because I can see you can write well when you want to. Use the gift and try to be nice on occasion. Taking any politician seriously is a mistake; to think that one is actually noble is a fatal error of judgment.

I just HATE to rub stuff in…but go back to the main politics page. Scroll about 1/3 of the way down. I’m the featured commentor today. Featured commentors get a new GM Silverado (yes, they have to GIVE them away now), two weeks at Disney World and the only pair of panties that Paris Hilton ever wore.

The psychiatric tests were inconclusive and my shrink committed suicide. My family owns TIME and they let me post anything I want as long as I don’t start my own religion.

Are you Folks at Swampland really going to continue to post the vitriolic abuse and poisonous venom by sacredh in every single Post? Doesn’t matter what the topic is, he/she has to reveal the bitter hate for anything Republican or Conservative. We can handle it, but is that really why you Blog? Please gentlemen, that person needs psychiatric help, not encouragement.

I do miss Bush’s speechifying and attacks on the English language. I did notice a bunch of mark’s on George’s face the other day. I think Laura’s trying to teach him to eat with a fork.

I wonder if they’re now even able to recognize what a real leader looks like?

You talk to rusty or spob and they’ll tell you it was a horrible speech, spoken by a retard, and the only reason it was even coherent was because of the teleprompter.

While not critical, this post was both informative and entertaining. The effect was ruined, however, by the the obsessive stenography typical of Scherer’s work.

Jim: I watched Frum on Bill Mah’s show Friday. Is there any way to make sad, delusional, infuriating and pathetic into one word?

As I watched BHO’s press conferences and public appearances during the past few days I couldn’t help being reminded of the RWers’ valiant but laughable attempts over the past 8 years to convince everyone that GWB was the reincarnation of Churchill, FDR, +/or Lincoln.

I wonder if they’re now even able to recognize what a real leader looks like?

OT: David Frum wrote a book heralding George W Bush as an Arthurian figure more or less sent by God to save the country and the world.
*
Two years later he wrote a book saying that the only hope for the country was the Republican party’s repudiation of all things Bushian.
*
What makes him seem like a shallow dingbat to most thinking people makes him the toast of Broderville, where David Gregory is president of the Junior League.

Obviously I am pleased not to have a president who is an embarrassment on the world stage. Of course, my support for Obama is not determined by how well he does on any one speech, meeting, or trip.
.
SG–Perhaps we should create some kind of rating agency akin to media matters that keeps track of how often these pundits are wrong. The hope is that after crossing a certain threshold their stock can go down and they become less desirable to these newsie venues.

Anyone else noticing the channeling-Kennedy line about Michelle? “I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris”. Want to take best on which journofluffs blog about the comparison? Don’t do it, Michael! You’ve done really, really well so far.
