Hoping for the worst

The biggest terrorist attack happened when Obama was sworn into office. It'll take a lot to top that.

I personally think Obama and his policies will lead us to ruin. Therefore, I post why I find that to be the case and point out guideposts to that end. It would be nice to sway the opinions of some loyalist Obamites and change direction while we still have time. Instead we get excuses and socialist crap. Just one person's view, take it for what you will.

I'm not saying that everyone against Obama's policies fit my stated description. The intent of my comment was to make those who are simply out to get him, no matter what, recognize that they're not fooling anyone. If you've seriously read any of the threads where policy is intelligently discussed, it's obvious that there are differences of opinion (and rightfully so) and it's also obvious when some of the usual hatemongers jump in with their usual crap to stink up the thread. Many of those can't wait for bad news to gleefully re-post on message boards. They need those little "aha" moments which make their day, with absolutely NO intention of constructing a decent dialog.

I don't think either you or SuaveOne has been contributing to this board long enough to know what I'm talking about. It's tantamount to knowing someone as just an acquaintance and believing him/her to be just a nice person with an opinion, to really getting to know a person and discovering he has a vicious motive and agenda after all.

that's why it's important when you make accusations like what you have just made is to provide the direct quotes, and links.. we shall wait..

I'm sure it isn't necessary to name names, unless you're totally stupid. You know who you are...

it's really chicken shit to make innuendos and not back up your statements.

, I'm getting the sense that these people are actually eager for another al-Qaeda attack on American soil

Another ?
When was the first one ?

 

[MaggieMae]

links?

I need links? Just read Page 1 of Current Events or Politics.

Want another terrorist attack? I am sure there are some that would as they simply want to say "I told you so"...but they are few and far between (I hope).

As for the economy.....Yes, I do not want to see the policies being employed prove to be successful. Before you start to rag all over me let me explain.

To take from the taxpayer to fix the free market MAY prove to be a band aid...sort of a policy to "ease the pain" so to speak, while the economy recovers on its own. However, when the economy DOES recover on its own as it always does, many people will be led to believe that it was the stimulus that did it...and before you know it a stimulus will be used at the FIRST SIGHT of any recession...something that happens naturally every 6 to 8 years.

We will become bankrupt if we start pumping a trillion dollars of borrowed money into the economy every 6 or 8 years.

SO I prefer that the people see that a stimulus does nothing to help the economy, so we will not fall into what Japan fell into...and furthermore, we will learn to do as we have done for decades during a recession...suck it up and ride the storm....

Good response. I don't intend to rag on people who know what they're talking about.

Ok, so yeah, I'm a newbie here. Can you either give me a date in which I will have been here long enough to be able to give a knowledgable opinion, or can you provide a link to a specific thread you are talking about?

That being said, I have posted on teh interwebs long enough to know how political forums work. Each side of the political spectrum will post threads/topics to help show how their opinion/party is better than the other. Sure there are trolls, but in most cases they are posting to get a rise out of the other side as opposed to really caring about the stories they are linking to.

So you are not fond of trolls or near trolls that are against Obama? I have the same problem with several on the left. My solution: Ignore button. So far, five have earned that, and I mean earned.

I completly agree. The idiot fringe cherry picks numbers and news articles, posts 'evience' to support thier extreme partisan perspective from Murdock's people and other dubious sources, and ignores or attacks any opinion which differs then their own.

You seem to be implying that only those who disagree with Obama do this. Am I reading that right?

-TSO

Opinions are fine and of course rigid ones are to be expected in any open forum. But you surely can't miss the fact that is a huge surge of people who would rather see the entire country go down in flames than to see Barack Obama as President of the United States. It's evident in postings, it's evident in POSTERS, it's evident in blogs, it's evident on right wing media, it's evident by Christian fundamentalists who are preaching that Obama is the anti-Christ, and it' evident by the shear fact that threats against his life have increased 400% over the previous administration according to the Secret Service.

Unfortunately, "ignore" doesn't help when someone copies an ignored poster's comment into theirs.

I dislike OL'BO and think his agenda sucks and he's totally incompetent as the PRez. I would never wish another terrorist attack on this country to prove that point though. . Jeeze. Anyone who does is an idiot in my book.

let's be clear,, maggie and the lunatic left say the things they do not because they are true, but because obamalama and the dems have failed so miserably in the first year. Instead of taking responsibility for their failures and their policies they just extend the "blame booooooooooooooosh song to include anybody who disagrees with them." End of story..

No it doesn't. I can't make taxes go away either. Makes you wonder what good I am huh?

 

[QUENTIN]

Yeah. Unemployment, the state of the economy, that kind of stuff strikes me more as "I told you so" or "See!" than a desire for things to get worse.

What's quite clear is that there is a very large contingent of the right who is wishing, hoping, and praying every day that we suffer another devastating terrorist attack. So then they can have their "see!" and "I told you so" moment and feel vindicated for all the criminal policies implemented in the war on terror and the leverage to push for even more. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQJVhNH99c"]Some of them even admit it.[/ame]

Maybe, if they kept their fingers crossed and several thousand Americans died, they'd even get to use it as justification for a war with Iran.

You're right to be repulsed.

I disagree with your opinion that detractors of the current administration want to see the country get damaged. In most cases they feel that this administration does not serve the country well. It's the same as when Rush proclaimed he wanted Obama to fail. It wasn't that he wanted the man or the country to fail, but his policies.

The same thing takes place with every administration; the opposing side will attack no matter what happens. They disagree with their politics and thus anything done incorrectly is pointed out. It's not that they want the country to fail, but they want their side to retake control of the country.

I'll give you that there are some who dislike the president because of the color of his skin. That's going to happen. He is black, and no matter what anyone thinks happened in the previous election, there are going to continue to be racists. With that said, in no way am I implying that anyone who disagrees with the president is racist...unfortunately, it appears many on the left do mean it.

what is amusing to some is that the libtards can't see the damage this administration has wrought and will continue to wreak upon this country.. below average intelligence.. is a hardship for some that's why we call em DUmmies.
