Hoping for the worst

[MaggieMae]

As I scan through some of the threads today, posted by the usual vicious extremists, I'm getting the sense that these people are actually eager for another al-Qaeda attack on American soil, one that would do as much devastation as 911, just to "prove" that Obama failed to prevent an attack, as was alleged personally against Bush in 2001--just to get even.

Short of reviewing the entire background of events leading to the attacks of 911, there was a lot that wasn't known on a large scale about the capabilities of terrorists pre-2001. But before it happened, I can't think of anyone who was hoping such an attack would happen just because they didn't like George W. Bush.

I get the impression that some so-called "Americans" who post here would just love for the economy to totally tank, so they can then laugh and high-five their fellow jerkoffs that the whole thing is Obama's fault.

They gleefully post how bad retail numbers are, how unemployment keeps rising, and pooh-pooh any of the encouraging barometers. These negative arm-chair politicos don't want to know anything about the history leading up to the economic crisis nor admit that it was years in the making. They constantly see the glass as half-empty and pray that it stays that way, just so they can blame Obama, period.

Is that what you people believe it means to think like an American these days? Our ancestors who forged this country through thick and thin and weathered all sorts of threats from foreign enemies and economic downturns are turning in their graves over the current ATTITUDES of so-called "Americans" whose only desire for America is to tear it down.

Well I'm one American who thinks that YOUR version of what it means to be an American makes me sick to my stomach.

 

[TheSuaveOne]

I think you miss read their opinions then. The way I see it, is that with each news article posted with "bad" issues relating to the economy or the safety of the country are just posting as a "I told ya so" moment rather than "I'm happy this happened" moment.

It's shocking that the opposition would make note of these items, especially on a political message board. It's quite a leap though to suggest they are eager for another terrorist attack.

which posters specifically did you have in mind? links would be helpful.. or are you just generalizing in your paranoid mind???

Continuing to post on poor retail numbers, employment/unemployment rates, economic trends, etc. isn't "Hoping for the worst in America," it's merely showing people that life isn't cotton candy, bunnies, and rainbows all day long. Reality has to be faced sooner or later.

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..

 

[saveliberty]

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.

Oh horseshit. I've been a member for almost a year. You don't have to be a prolific poster to be "familiar" with other posters. If you want to call someone specifically, then do it in the FZ. Otherwise, your generalities make for a boring debate.

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....

 

[TheSuaveOne]

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.

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.

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

one might think that were true if they hadn't started day one last year.

maggie has it dead right.

it's the whole rushbo "i hope he fails" garbage.
