Finish your cheetos and go back to work, boy. And leave the serious, not-so-serious and fun stuff in the world to those of us who know how to manifest the most satisfying of destiny's--while you desperately scribble away on your lunch break hoping the boss doesn't catch you mouthing off online.

By the way, it's obvious you know nothing about Oprah Winfrey. The best you'll ever do is extrapolate instances from her life, and exaggerate them or make on spin on them, to try and make her look bad.

She doesn't need your support. She has millions and millions of supporters who have a clearer picture of who she is. "

" everyone wants equality, but when the playing field gets close to being leveled, some cry "i'm owed more" there will never be equality, because everyone is greedy, everyone wants power and everyone seems to be owed something.
Some believe they are owed waaay more than others, and have to have extra everything to keep the playing field even.
make it even, no extra points for anyone, no college funds, no special racial schools etc. you want equal? let's do it!
see how everyone does on pure merit! "

" Oprah opened a school in africa, that is open "only to BLACK girls"
is that racist enough for you?
or how about "The United Negro College Fund" only black people may sign up for.
do you think they would let anyone have a "United Anglo College Fund"???
Or how about loan programs that only Natives qualify for?
they can't have loan programs that only whites can qualify for. that would be racist!
everyone else gets extra points on the civil service test except whites, wonder why there aren't many white postal carriers anymore? "

" Oprah IS racist. You don't have to search very hard to see that. Anyone remember when she got in a tizzy over a store in France not opening it's doors for her after hours just because she's the all-great-and-powerful Oprah Winfrey? She immediately threw out the race card! And don't forget that she was an avid Clinton supporter until Obama got nominated and she switched merely because of race! "

And what makes you think Oprah Winfrey is racist? Do you know her? Has she said 'I'm a racist.' in an open and public forum?

Ever consider the possibility that YOU are the one who's blind? "

Delivers strong speeched. And he gets applause for it. I laughed and looked at my oldest son and said "Look familiar?"

" How typical of today's lunatic fringe to pathetically attempt to deglaze the blemished patina of a previous administration's policies, to benefit the (false) image of subsequent occupants in the White House.

Nothing changes the fact that a month prior to 9-11, when terrorists were putting the final touches on their evil plans, Dubya's professional indolence included clearing brush during an undeserved vacation, while ignoring warnings about an imminent attack on US citizens.

Our (forced) accommodations of lunatic, unpatriotic thinking, illegal shenanigans and institutional ineptitude--officially ended in January 2009.

Never again.

" Interesting thing I have noticed. Most folks attempting to defend President Obama point out how bad Bush was during the last 8 years. While this may be true it is absolutely no defense of the current administration. Bush being bad does not automatically make Obama good. Its entirely possble that both could be bad don't you think.

Where've you been boy?

This country's been funding billions upon billions of dollars for an illegal war for years now--that Bush knew was illegal all along. Even his own staff's written about Dubya's deceptiveness.

And what about our returning vets and the help they'll be needing? Where's the money for that?

I'm sure Bush supporters are just so danged grateful the oil companies and Haliburton's all did so well under the Bush economy!

" Mrs. Van Hoomissen concludes with misguided indignation, and many shallow and closed minded, reactionary, people jump on her bandwagon to nowhere. Quite the contrary, President Obama is a credit to humanity as a strong leader and a diplomat who wants cooperation, and peace, between nations. A commentary written in McClatchy newspapers, January 9, 2009, had something more pertinent to say, "The Bush administration...underestimated the flood of...more than 320,000...veterans suffering from PTSD, major depression and TBI, [and] it did little to expedite their care. Decent people would be tortured by their consciences, but these people...have no shame." "

" to Hearts;
And that's why Iran took hostages when Carter was President and set them free when Reagan took office. Or why we lost major ground with SALT II under Carter and it took a Republican President to break the Soviet Union. Or why there were more terrorist attacks on US interests under Bill Clinton than any other president. Or why, after we were attacked mere months into Bush's term (put together under Clinton) we were never hit again...
because you spineless, weak modern liberals are so tough.

No wonder our enemies pray for a Democrat as our President. "

" When 9-11 happened, Democrats put aside their outrage over Bush scuttling into the White House in 2000 (without the popular vote), in order to help unify the country. During those challenging days, Democrats put country first, over politics. Bush's popularity ratings at that time, reflect that solidarity.

Here we have a national economic crisis our new president's inherited. Where're the Republicans? The Party of No's whining, flailing and making threats like babies during this crisis.

They could learn a lot from the Democrats. Especially class.

The Republicans are behaving shamefully. "




HeartsNSpades wrote on May 4, 2009 5:42 PM:

" Dubya belittled, humiliated and bankrupted this nation every day he stepped foot into the Oval Office.

So lazy and inept, he took a one-month vacation in only his eighth, measly month in office, preceding the second worst attack on US soil. While terrorists put the finishing touches on their plans, he was clearing brush in Crawford.

This site is filled with clearheaded Democrats, and enraged, lunatic-fringe Republicans and libertarians who'd rather do the unpatriotic thing--disparage the US and threaten sedition--then accept their enormous losses--like real men and women, and real true Americans.

Disgusting.

If we run slow on our shipments, these countries have the gall to threaten, demand and burn our flags in protests. Now we have the U.N.

" What can we expect ? During the campaign he would not put his hand over his heart to honor our flag as did the other candidates nor would he wear a flag pin . His wife called America a "mean country" that she was never proud of. Some "first family" ,yuk! Reverend Wright"s church suited them well but now in power they have no church in D.C. to attend. At Georgetown the cowards in charge covered up depictions of Jesus during the Obama speech but during his visit to the Blue Mosque in Turkey he was respectful. What a guy!! "

" To patriot;
I couldn't agree with you more. I wish our Constitution included a requirement that any sitting president must have served. How can you have a 'Commander in Chief' that has never served a single day in the military? I served when Bubba was President, and we abhorred him. Heres who had the power to put us in harm's way without the perspective of having ever been in that position himself. We would laugh when he tried a time or two to 'talk tough' on TV. My brother currently serves and says it's the same way today with Obuma. "

" Because no matter how hard they may try to fake it during the campaign, politicians of Obama's ilk (and Hillary's, Pelosi's, etc.) not only could care less about the military, they actually loathe the people in it. If they can get it thier way (and to a small degree, they already have), our military will be small, under-armed and under the control of the UN
Obama and his kind idolize European socialism and kissing those countries rear end means more to them then our veterans. "

" Obama is a disgrace and will destroy our country, but what do you expect from someone who wasn't so much as a Cub Scout? I don't think anyone who hasn't served in the military should be allowed to be president period. "

" I thank you, and your family for their service to our country.
it seems that our country is being taken away from us now.
I agree with your sentiment when you say "how can he become commander in chief, when he's never served" i agree, look what he's doing now, giving other countries our military secrets, condemning everyone in the military for prisoner interrogation. but to him it must be ok to blindfold, put in front of a camera, and cut their head off with a sword. but, those are his people!

" Wanda,

Thank you for your letter. I too served 6 yeas in the USMC, and have considered going back into the service however that has changed due to the current President. I can not in good conscience serve under him. Just him thinking about having the service members pay their own medical bills is a slap across the face to all who have served.

I still wonder how it can be allowed to serve as President if you were unwilling to serve yourself in any of the services. "

" It took GUTS, & solid Patriotism, to write this article. Many folks, who have/will NEVER serve their country. Will be quick, to respond "hatefully, and disrespectfully" to a comment like this. ("their UNEARNED right")

As another PROUD American, and retired Serviceman.
I would like to be the first, to THANK YOU!
