those are my sentiments too...
really, really sad to think that pride in country no longer exists for me. i want to go to canada in the worst way. the conservatives say "go if you don't like america..." wish i could! this is not my president, and this is not the country i remember where at least i once felt 'free.' no longer though. just a note. the patriot act was tried to get push through BEFORE 9/11. didn't go through, of course, until AFTER 9/11. does anybody see any irony or conspiracy in that? why is he still president? impeach bill because he got a BJ....whoopee do! what about this one? america is absolutely insane!

Now I'm praying that the "machine" doesn't get Hillary in as Obama's running mate. He may have less say in that than we think. The "Billary" team, as we all know, is formidable.
I just breathed a sigh of relief that she's out of the presidential run. As a New Yorker, to have such an obvious lying carpetbagger using our state as a stepping stone for her ambition is outrageous, and I'm proud that I never voted for her!

I do know that has been their tactics in the past. Way too too many "coincidences" of people who had disagreed with them or were going to expose them for doing something ended up on what they call "a dirt vacation". So it does worry me quite a bit.
On another note, I read a news article that they caught 4 guys who were planning to do an attack on Obama (as in taking him out). Weapons, involved, etc, etc. They posted a pic of one of the thugs and he looks typical "neo-nazi, skin-head, ignorant". The kind that I see over and over just consumed with the idea that we will never elect a person if they have any color to their skin. I have big big fears for him tonight (and through the rest of the campaign). There are way too many ignorant people in this country who can't see past the color of someone's skin and see them for the person they are.

Whether you have a lot or little its very very scary.
I don't think its going to matter which candidate gets in. They both have plans, but you know what they say...plans are like a-holes, everyone has one. Whether they actualy execute them I have no idea, and I have not heard a detailed plan from either candidate on how we can be sure our money is safe.
I also think that whoever becomes president is going to have one big headache trying to figure it out and it's not going to be an overnight fix. I just cross my fingers every day.
I know! My sentiments exactly.
Every time I start to feel okay about Obama there is another musician or Hollywood actor stepping forward on his behalf to remind me how shallow his campaign really is. It's so annoying. Like I'm really supposed to care what Bruce Springsteen thinks. Wow.

the first thing I hear when I say I dont like Obama is that I am a racist (I have two black children) or I am stirring the pot and spreading hate and lies, or that how can I say I am a Christian. Being a Christian is what makes me NOT politically correct. God isnt politically correct. I have said nothing on here that I will apologize for or that I am ashamed of.
My sentiments exactly........
The school yard bullies...who only care about their own agenda. Reminds me of the senate scene in that Mel Brooks movie (History of the World...) "F*k the poor!" There was no middle class in Roman times, either. The rich and the poor and nothing in between.........and the Romans died off - they rotted from within, greed, mismanagement, avarice.........sounds just like today!
My sentiments exactly - thank you (nm)

I read this...and I believe the sentiments...
are noble. What I do not understand is preaching to the choir. I would think folks like this should be taking this cause to Iraq, to Iran, to Gaza, to talk to the heart of the issue. We did not attack first, we were attacked. I am thinking they should be trying to convert those folks, which is also a commandment for those called (if I am correct, this man is an ordained priest?) and a *bigger* one than being a *peacemaker* if I recall. Taking the hate out of those folks would solve ALL the problems you continue to address. Why not put energies there? I suspect why not....

I share your sentiments totally. sm
Some would see this as political from the get-go. They would read this and dismiss it saying, oh those stupid Republicans. It has not penetrated some of their conscious or subconscious thinking that there really is more to this than politics. The stakes are more than high. Historically, Muslims spread Islam barbarically and without mercy and were ony stopped from taking Europe by the Crusades. They are ready to spread again, only this time, it is the United States they have their eyes on. I found this article that I believe illustrates not only what will happen, but has a good understanding of what is happening now.
Preventing a Premature Exit From Iraq
By Ed Feulner
CNSNews.com Commentary
October 19, 2006
BAGHDAD (Jan. 21, 2009) -- Iraq's bloody civil war worsened today, when 10,000 heavily armed troops from the Shiite state of Shiastan pushed north from Najaf and Rumaythah. The attack threatened to trap three battalions of U.S.-backed Sunnis in the region.
The latest round of fighting has triggered a new wave of refugees into Kuwait and Jordan, the United Nations reported today. Millions of Iraqis have fled the country since American troops pulled out in 2006, a controversial withdrawal that al Qaeda celebrates as a watershed victory.
Word of today's offensive pushed crude oil prices to $210 per barrel, a new record, certain to cause problems for the newly inaugurated American president ...
All right, enough with the doom and gloom. The preceding paragraphs are fiction, but they reflect what's likely to happen if the United States pulls out of Iraq before the country is stabilized and able to function on its own. Unfortunately, some of our politicians want to do exactly that.
We believe that a phased redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq should begin before the end of 2006, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid wrote in a letter both signed in August. Even if our task there remains unfinished?
As President Bush put it on Oct. 11, when you pull out before the job is done, that's cut and run as far as I'm concerned. And that's cut and run as far as most Americans are concerned.
Heritage Foundation experts James Carafano and James Phillips explained in a recent paper what's likely to happen if we withdraw quickly. Such a shortsighted U.S. policy would be a severe blow to the Iraqi security situation, Iraqi oil exports, U.S. allies in the region, the global war against terrorism and the future of all Iraqis, they write.
If we leave now, we'd leave the Iraqi army (with all its heavy weapons) up for grabs. That's likely to spark a civil war, as soldiers align themselves into religious and regional militias.
Under that scenario, we can expect Iran -- already a regional power -- to support the Shiite Muslims in the south, a move that would give Tehran control of most of Iraq's oil. Not that this would necessarily keep the oil flowing; as the civil war escalated, guerrillas would cut pipelines and blow up oil wells.
Right now, Iraq produces 2.5 million barrels of oil per day, and the country's government aims to increase that to 2.7 MBD by year's end. If production is disrupted, though, worldwide prices would skyrocket.
If we cut and run, Iraqi civilians would be the biggest losers. Millions would flee the starvation, disease and destruction that civil war brings. Meanwhile, al Qaeda would tout its role in forcing the U.S. out, providing a huge recruiting boom for the terrorist group.
This doesn't mean we should stay indefinitely. As they say, there are only two exit strategies from any war: A country can win and go home, or it can lose and go home. Either way, all our troops eventually will exit Iraq. What really matters is what they leave behind.
We've made progress in Iraq, and we'll continue to do so. Many of al Qaeda's senior leaders have been killed or captured and the group's popularity among the Iraqis is low. We need to keep training Iraqi forces and preparing them to stand on their own.
In the long run, only Iraqis can assure the success of Iraq. But if, in the short run, we cut and run, we guarantee failure -- for them and for us. We can avoid the bleak future outlined above. But we must steel our resolve to get the job done right.

Good for you! My sentiments exactly. What ignorance. nm

I'm sure Wright has been preaching similar sentiments
for the 20 years Obama has belonged to the church, implying IMO he agrees.
The political image/persona he's tried to build for himself (all politicians do it) has just been shot full of holes.
Knowing Wright's rhetoric why does he stay a member to this day??
If you've listened and watched the full sermon it is very disturbing, and I don't see any "cherry picking" in the media I so love to hate. That remark on Obama's part could be taken as his defending the diatribe.
I hope this bombshell doesn't go away - people need to know where Obama is really coming from.
So Einstein's sentiments mean we're all MORONS

I totally agree with your sentiments, it angers me deeply also for those who are using abortion as .
birth control, but I also think that these "whores" are somewhere in the minority, all I am saying is let us not, by not supporting certain social programs, CONDEMN AND NEGLECT the babies that are born whether it is by accident, neglect, "slutting around," whatever....these children and their welfare, safety, and care cannot be neglected by society. I am just saying, once these babies are HERE, right or wrong, they are going to have needs, and if these women/men (let's not forget the absentee dads/families) cannot provide, the innocent babies that we are all concerned about are really going to need support. It is not about the mother once the baby is born. When will we make stricter legislation for penalties for baby daddies who walk away? I know it is far from a solution, but there are other factors, too.
The American people didn't listen to the anti Obama sentiments sm
That Ayers crapola is not applicable. All that bashing of Obama is over SOUR GRAPES BABY!!! WE WON, YES WE CAN, YES WE DID
