  8. Wow. look at what this Fascist Obama is proposing

    “Loving your country shouldn’t just mean watching fireworks on the 4th of July,” he said in a speech in Colorado Springs, Colo. “Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it. If you do, your life will be richer, our country will be stronger.”

    “I won’t just ask for your vote as a candidate,” he said. “I will ask for your service and your active citizenship when I’m president of the United States. This won’t be a call issued in one speech or one program. I want this to be a central cause of my presidency. We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities for Americans to serve.”

    He promised to increase AmeriCorps slots from 75,000 to 250,000 and pledged to double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011.

    “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set,” he said. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

    This guy is out of his mind. and it’s all unconstitutional.

  9. Yep, John the Trucker.

    To hear, once again, that Democrats are trying to take our freedoms away is … also “special”. And Democrats want to take all their money away? Do all these people get their news from FOX? Don’t they ever watch or read anything else? At least they give Colmes a listen even if they don’t believe anything he says.

  10. OMG Vinnie Pee is right.
    He is correct in all his views.
    He is better than anyone on this blog.

  11. Re: Vince P’s post on Obama:

    So what’s the problem?

    “We CANNOT continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set,” he said.

    AND;

    “We HAVE got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

    Relying only on the military is like fighting mosquitoes with a sledge hammer.

    Throughout the world, when people LOVE Americans and American culture, (and they used to), it is NOT because of the government, or the policies, it is because of the people.

  12. Try reading the 2nd Amendment again. The Constitution already provides for the internal defense of a free nation by free men.

  13. Obama is not talking about internal defense .
    He is talking about foreign policy.

    This has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment.

  14. You’re suggesting he’s sending a Civilian National Security organization overseas?

    Cmon think a little.

    Christ, how stupid are you

  15. #1, He’s suggesting a peace corps type organization overseas. Got nothing to do with military or defence.

    Cmon think a little.

    #2, The more you have to use insults like, “Christ, how stupid are you” the more insecure you seem to be in your convictions.

    Well let me clear up that misperception then.

    It’s incredible frustration that so many people just refuse to think rationally

  17. Why would you think that you would know if it were YOU who just refuses to think rationally?

    I think that right wingers hear the propaganda repeated endlessly, with ALL right wing pundits in absolute lock step, that can’t recognize when the facts get in the way.

  18. Fury…oh my gosh…I thought by using inane, childish insults and cursing at people, that made you right!

    OldLefty, I will give you tons of credit even though I disagree with you…you’re about the only person on this board who doesn’t result to personal insults.
