Cheney Calls the Rev. Wright’s Comments ‘Appalling’

We elected him. Deal with it.
But I don’t disagree with him.
Plain talk: however we got here, race is the topic. All sides have something to say about it. It goes better if we don’t demonize each other.
That is precisely what Black Liberation Theology does to whites. No matter the outcome of this election, this topic isn’t going away, so Senator Obama can deal with it, or let it pass.
It is his choice.
We can vote for him considering his ongoing association with communities of this belief or not.
That is our choice. Welcome to America.

What a tool – offensive hyperbole from a former marine – vs torture.
Thats right I forgot – validating the torture and oppression over freedom of speech (despite how vile) is his modus operendi.
Will be pleased to see you in the defense stand – as a war criminal.

First of all this war criminal can’t call anything appalling. It’s appalling what he and Bush are doing to our men and women in uniform, not to mention the Iraqi people.They fit right up there with Saddam,when it comes to genocide. They should be put on trial for crimes againt humanity.
NO MORE REPUBLICAN EVER!
Obama 08!

Does Cheney really think anyone gives a damn what he, President Bush or Hannity have to say about anything?

J, I personally hope it stays in the headlines until June. That way come November it will be a dead issue – the polls show 87% of the voting public has seen the video or heard the quotes YET Senator Obama is still here…. Please keep running this in the headlines now while it clearly doesn’t impact Senator Obama. That way it will be dead in time for the general election.

Obviously, Cheney is a freak, but be warned Democrats.. this is the kindof crap we’ll be listening to all fall long. Rev. Wright’s greatest hits will be splattered all over TV 24/7. I hope you guys who signed on to the “yes we can” train are ready, because it’s gonna get ugly. We adults tried to tell you… putting up a novice against these guys will get us no where.. but you bought the hope on a stick. All I can say is.. Good Luck.

i agree. Obama will be shredded by the republicans…

Cheney is the biggest piece of crap to ever walk the halls of the white house period……

Sar, first i was stunned, then i thought of my preist and said, “eh, whatever”. I never bothered to listen to the whole sermon. Then i got an email from a friend with a link to the ENTIRE sermon and he asked that everyone listen to it. He is nto that liberal of a person. So I thought “odd, He doesn’t seem like he’d support this” but he is a very intelligent guy so i indulged himn and I listened to the WHOLE sermon and after I did, sorry to break it to ya, but I think the Rev made some very very godo points about what a Christian is and how, and this is Rev WRight’s quote in those sermonds “VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE” “HATE BEGETS HATE”….did you listen to the whole sermon? No. Obviously, I can tell. YOU don’t understand his point. His point was that he was concerned that we will be damned for what we do. HE was not calling for God to damn us. ANTBODY who actually listend to it would understand that. but hey, nto like a rightwinger to be informed so keep up the steriotpye of the obtuse uninformated ignorant rightwinger. IT works so well for you people. why let a little thing like the truth stand in the way of a good right winger rant, huh??? never has before.

Hi Dogsoldier-
Again you take everything so literally.. Do I mean Cheny and Clinton hatched the scheme together? No of course not. Do I think they are taking advantage of the momentum and playing off each other and allowing each of the camps to make their arguments for them ? Yes. But the real point you missed is the positions they put forward have no basis in fact.

I think if Obama gets the nomination what we will see if folks looking into those sermons more, and more TV spots will play them in their entirety and once people see that it will be a non-issue. It already is a non-issue with everyone except the far right.

Vice President Cheney, as to what you have to say about anything….what I would like to say to you is …..so?….

“YES some of the words in the rev’s particular sermon were appalling… “…I actually challenge that thought. I you actually listen to them in the context to which they were spoke they were not. REad the post put up before you. THis person obviously heard the whole sermon. “Violence begets violence” Rev Wright said. “We want revenge, we want payback and we don’t care who gets hurt in the process.” Rev WRight said. TOo bad cheney DIDN”T think like Rev WRight!!!!!!! No, I do not mind AT ALL a man who has had a pastor who teaches such things as “Violence begets violence”…no, I don’t mind it at all. We could use it!

After participating in authorizing war crimes as one of the gang of six breaking international law, Cheney is “stunned” by something that someone said? Oh, how shocking!

thastar, you didn’t listen to the whole sermon. What other excuse is there for you not to understand what he said?

what i dont get is y every one is so stuck on the war in iraq. see the problem is that the world needs policed. unfortunatlly its a double edged sword. its a loose loose situation for this great country of ours. see if we do something about it then were starting a war we shouldnt be in and if we dont do anything then were ignoring the problem and we dont care about them. so before we go bad mouthing the people making the decisions maybe we should start with bad mouthing the people that put them there. and also if barak was in office on 911 how do u think he would have handled it. would he have just tucked tail and ran and not stood our ground. the bottom line is that the decision has been made and we should deal with it util the end. support our troops and our elected leaders decision.

For the first time in my life I agree with Cheney. I hope the world doesn’t end tomorrow!

WestCoastMessenger,
Yes I did indeed post that I have seen the same verbage by you guys on multiple days on multiple blogs; same with Concerned American I believe though Concerned American wasn;’t in the blog we (you, Dogsoldier and I) when I posted that comment. And indeed that would certainly make it appear as if your comments were “canned”, “cut and paste” ,”rehearsed” IDK. Dogsoldier did just post recently without a slogan and seemingly in the moment; so I reserve further judgement.

It’s so bad even Chaney is laughing at Obama and his unRev. Wright. “Oh what a tangled web we weave”.

Hillary….She stood by her man, she’ll stand by you.

west coast messenger
obama will persevere. so will his campaign will all Americans .
Barack supporters will not waiver.

One article about the views of the Vice President and the Rightous Indignation Brigade comes out and conspiracy theories abound. In the future please posts links providing proof of your theories. Don’t take this the wrong way but posts on par with “Cheney Eats puppies and kitties alive” are much more believable with a reference or two. Let’s keep our argument within the realm of possibility and try to keep a civil tongue in your mouth. Anger is fine but, try to back it up with some facts.
Ready?
Go!

It amazes me, Chaney and Obama are so much alike and can’t stand each other.

Hey Republicans
Hillary tried and she couldnt do it.
she is much better at than you .
she throws the kitchen sink.

How many brave American and innocent Iraqi civilians have died because of the Bush Cheney administration. How many deaths is Rev Wright responsible for either at his own hands or by instigating others? If the answer is none who cares whether the most cruel and ungrateful person on earth things that free speech of Wright is appalling. In the scale of 1 to 10. 10 being appalling decisions leading to deaths. Cheney gets a 10

I AGREE WITH CHENEY ON THIS ONE.
OBAMA’S FRIEND ANTI-AMERICAN PASTOR IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE MAIN STREET AMERICA.
THE PICTURE OBAMA AND THE ANTI-AMERICAN PASTOR ESTABLISHED THE OPINION MOST AMERICANS HAVE ABOUT OBAMA AS CANDIDATE FOR THE NOMINATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE IN NOVEMBER.

tinkerbell, you got that right! Rev. Wright has saved the GOP MILLIONS. You can’t pay for advertising like the Rev. is giving us!

the bad rev. used his right to free speech, I don’t agree with him, but Chaney calling him out is like the pot calling the kettle black…

I would like to ask you people who are against the war and sending our youth in harms way if you ever heard of Korea and Vietnam. If you can read check your history books to see that they were started by the democrats. Look at that wall in D.C. at the 50,000 names of the young people that the democrats sent in harms way. In this way, these people volunteered not like Korea or Vietnam. I agree, war is terrible. This country is in bad shape when people have to argue about those two losers (Clinton and Obama) P.S. don’t much like McCain, but he’s a giant compared to those two.

Omentum, yes I think McCain will be the president IF Barack is the nominee. If Hillary was, then I wouldn’t bet on it.
You couldn’t have picked a more unelectable person than Barack Hussein Obama.
And for that, I thank you. :)

ah, no, i’m not appaulled after having listened the entire sermon. WRight did not ask God to d*mn America. If the tape allowed him to finish his sentence, it was that God will D*mn America if she doesn’t treat her citizens properly. If you actually HEARD what it is you are complaining about, you should listen to more than two sentences ofthe sermon. The majority of hte sermon talked about policies of this government that were once thought of as OK. Slavery, Japaenese internment, Indian ethnic cleansing, and he said “GOD does not change. Governments do, Thank GOD.” GOD does not change what he thinks is right or wrong, but governments do change what they think is right or wrong and we must be careful what we think is right is today. “we want payback and we don’t care who gets hurts in teh process” and he clarifies this to children and citizens in countries we attack. He also said “Violence begets violence” and how wrong is the “Cycle of violence”…he said WE will be d*mned if we act violently, immorally. We don’t get ot say “God bless America” and then act immoral and think thati s ok, that God will bless us no matter what we do. “No, no, no” God Dmn America if she doesn’t treat her people properly, if she doesn’t act morally. So no, if you listen to the entire sermon, the message of breaking teh cycle of violence ,of how God will NOT go with us if we go to the dark side, no, his sermon was not at all outrageous, AND I would MUCH rather have a president who has had such a man, who has preached leaders to be thoughtful and wary of going over to thedarkside, I would EMBRACE having a leader who has listene to such sermonds. Cheney should have listened to such sermons. Appauled indeed!!! appauled that a man is saying that senseless violence is wrong and that God woudl frown on it! yeah, I bet, D i c k, I bet you find that appauling!

Has any body looked closely at McCain? The man is 70 years old, is this what you call a new vision for America or the same old politics that got us into the mess we are currently in. Come on America, for once think and do something different for our children.
Are you not tired of 8 years of Bush/McCain republican leadership. We are trillions of dollars in debt, our Mortgage industry has collasped, Jobs are leaving this country faster then you can say india and free trade agreements. 4028 dead and 26,000 wounded based upon a republican leadership lie ( today this is undisputed), Hallaburton and Oil companies making unreal profits (thanks to the relationships with Caney, Bush and McCain), Yes,all have ties to Bush/McCain and Chaney. While the working people in this country are getting squeezed. Look, if you want to continue to support this type of government, then don’t cry when things get worse. The only reason these clowns can lie and cheat the American people is that some of us are too dumb or lazy to do something different.

I think Obama is much more electable than Hillary. He is just too good on the spot. If people listen to him, they convert. When he is the nominee, you put him up against mccain in a debate, and you will see an old man who is a war mongers and is nearly the identical to george bush isn nearly every policy and a complete breath of fresh air. Obama is too good at talking, too smart, too fluid. He will win, easily. Right wingers will be completely utterly shocked. I’ve never heard such racist remarks as i have on here, but the far righters do not have the midwest states, they do not have the north, certianly not california nad they won’t have florida. the next president will be Obama. YOu racists just need to learn to deal.

domestic, Afghanistan, and Iraq policies may have had some thing to do with this. Policies that Obama and Clinton oppose. So if you anti Obama and Clinton folks get your way, what than? Let me make some predictions. The Patriot Act will be history and Al Qaeda will be free to plot away without fear of the US knowing what they are doing. Once the US has retreated and let Al Qaeda take over Iraq, Al Qaeda can use Iraq’s vast oil reserves to fund a nuk. Oh my. Iran will flex their muscles and openly say, yeah we have nuks and if you don’t give us what we want, lets say the destruction if Israel, we will nuk you. Oh my. Of course, Obama with his great speaking skills will be able to talk Al Qaeda and Iran out of all this nonsense. He will make a big speech and a lot of people will faint for real when he tells them the way to avoid being nuked is to convert to Islam, bow to Mecca and kill all the gays. Oh my.

realdeal, you people elected bush, twice. have ya seen the approval rating of your guy? Or cheney for that matter? I promise you Rev. WRight’s approval rating is higher than cheney’s. McCain is on par with Bush on nearly every issue. McCain hasn’t a chance in the world. No Repbulican does, really. but certianly not one so prowar as McCAin. We are all SICK ofwar. Sick of debt, and sick of big corporations socializign their LOSSES while wanting freemarket when they ahve huge profits. Gee, we pay for it comign and going, huh??? republican on the national scale have done just too crappy a job. Nobody cares about anybody’s pastor. mark my words, there jsut aren’t enough people who are MORE racist than they are desperate for a change.

Cheney is appalled at statements from Rev Wright….
Repeat the sentence, close your eyes and imagine 4,000 caskets draped with flags….the lies…
and he’s appalled….

I WONDER IF THE DEMOCRATS WILL EVER LEARN.
THEY NOMINATE LEFT WING LIBERALS.
THIS TIME IS WORST.
IF THEY NOMINATE OBAMA,IT WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS WE KNOW IT.

Every president has his constituency. To win, he has to patch together a broad coalition, convincing enough groups that he’s one of them but he always ends up governing with his original constituency. You could say that Bill Clinton’s constituency was kind of Yale Law School oriented, smart, liberal, do-gooders. Bush’s constituency was the oil patch, big energy, big corporations and big money. Obama has given every indication that his constituency is based on the values of Trinity Church, Rev. Wright and black liberation theology.

Do the right thing,
No evidence that Michelle Obama is a racist?? Are you kidding???
Just read her college thesis. She is obsessed with racism and expresses her disdain for white people in it. You want more evidence? MSNBC Morning Joe interview (11/13/2007) Michelle: “Black America will wake up and get it. Black people need to vote for Barack.” ABC interview: “My husband can change the image of black America.” What about her brother, Craig Malcolm Robinson? What was his thesis about? You guessed it!!! “Racism” within the prison community. Looks to me like Michelle is a very angry woman who carries a very large chip on her shoulder towards white people.

kevin how old are you? Powell is old, and if you are calling him old you must be 80, hee hee.

Okay, so Reverend Wright isn’t on any ballot that I’ve seen. So I’m not planning on voting for him as a write-in either.
The torture thing is a huge problem for our country. It wipes any moral authority we have (or had), it is a poor tool for gathering useful information, and it exposes our soldiers to grievous harm. What I cannot for the life of me understand is how John McCain, who was tortured himself, can even stomach being associated with Bush/Cheney. How does he defend these guys? How can he honestly accept their support? The John McCain I knew in 2000 would be speaking up now about this. I guess the new and improved John McCain just cares about winning this time around… How disappointing…

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT…SHE STOOD BY HER MAN; SHE’LL STAND BY YOU.

I just agree with Hopesprings, it is not you like to see a black in the white house, then any black can be a president.

I’m sorry you can’t deal with the facts. Now you have chosen to personally attack me. This is another reason Hillary supporters will not vote for Barack. As to Michelle, her statements definitely come off as racist. What if Hillary had made these stmts substituting white for black? You would be the first to crucify her as a racist. Her one stmt that “Black people need to vote for Barack” makes it seem like they are obliged to vote for him just because he is black. That’s not racist? Maybe white people should vote for Hillary just because she is white. How would you feel then? And by the way, my father died of brain cancer, so I definitely did not appreciate your comment. Wake up, pick a person who will best represent all of America. Stop being a bigot!!

Look frustrated, You vote for who you want and I will vote for who I want. I guess since you think Obama is so bad you will have to vote McCain in November or use that voting day to go see your shrink, cause Hillary and Mr. cigar man Bill won’t be on the ballots. The interns will be happy, they can walk the halls without being oggled, grabbed and winked at.

Everyone knows that Reverend Wright has a right to say anything he wants. And anyone has a right to listen to him if they want to. That’s not the point. The point is, if Obama has associated with him for twenty years, he very probably has the same views. Period. And people don’t want that kind of a person as their president. Obama needs to quit whining every time asks him about his personal views and past history. We have a right to know.

What is the fuss all about??? The finale of election ’08 is already in the records book. Didn’t you know the “Trinity” has already celebrated this historic win at the inaguration ball.
Has anyone taken a real close look at Rev. Jeremiah Wright and V.P. Cheney? They could pass for brothers or cousins at the least. Check out their complexion and facial features (especially the mouth), never smiling …always looking angry (MAD).
Must be in the genes!!! :) :) :)

No, Emily, you’re getting older like the rest of us.
I must say, however, that I am getting so very tired of this race issue as it is not Obama that keeps bringing it up. In fact, he seems to have taken great pains not to run as the “black candidate”. On the other hand, it was Senator Clinton who stated to the effect that ‘well, I think a Woman President would be a real change.’ (note that she said this before South Carolina and all the race issue was brought up.) Well, let’s explore what she is saying, and the sexism you are noting:
1. What difference will chromosomal arrangement confer? She seems to be running her campaign as a “man” (not meant to be derogatory). Is it inherently sexist to choose a candidate opposite her? If so, then it is inherently racist to choose against Obama. So stalemate.
2. Along the same lines, if you vote for Senator Clinton because she is a woman, are you any better than someone voting for a candidate because he is a man?
3. Her sexism argument is nearly completely negated by standing by the Misogynist-in-Chief that is her husband. By her own words she said that she was not a “stand by your man” kinda gal, and yet she has suffered humiliation after humiliation at his behest. Feminists that I know call women such as that to be “self-haters”. I don’t think so in her case, I think she saw him as a means to her own end which on its face is empowering. But the crime is that she didn’t think she could do this as Hillary Rodham (which she could have). Or maybe she is a truly forgiving person – but this makes her unlike any woman I’ve ever met or known. Ask yourself honestly, would you have stayed with him? Perhaps a minority would, but most wouldn’t. I know personally that I would be a dead man if I cheated on my wife once let alone multiple times.
Yes, I hear the response already:
“But MIguy, you are a man and don’t understand the glass ceiling <>”. That is true, but I am not oblivious to it and I have seen its effects on my mother and my wife (both very bright women). But nobody likes to lose and somebody will lose. Try not to take it personally, no matter what the outcome.

@thastar:
Such definitive statements – you must have been in the pews as well? If someone could pick 20 second sound bites out of any of our lives over twenty years, couldn’t we all seem like monsters? Have you never said one thing you regretted? Ten things? A hundred things? I encourage everyone to take a long hard look at the blood on their own hands before casting that stone.

I can’t stand BO because he is a fake. However, I think Cheney is borderline EVIL and fake. If I had wasted a vote on the current administration, my head would be hanging very low.

thastar: In rebuttal to your reasoning, and that of many other’s who obviously haven’t a functioning mind, I’m a 62 year old white, business owning ,now former conservative Republican, from Houston Texas, who has listened to your kind of preaching for over 40 years, daily, didn’t have to wait for Sunday to hear it,and I, along with many other former Republicans I know are voting for Senator Obama. The deciding factor for many was the addition of Phil Gramm as McCain’s co-chair and finance director. If you don’t know who Gramm is look up bank de-regulation. He is the most main cause of today’s mortgage fiasco, and I for one don’t want him any where near the U.S. financial situation, nor do I want anyone associated with him as President.

@GC:
Hopefully people come to their senses and vote their pocketbooks in the fall…

Too many risks in electing Obama. After Wright, i think he’s nuts.

They should not let Chenney talk, or hunt for that matter.

What Rev. Wright preached is wrong. Criticizing Cheney’s policy won’t make Wright right. Shouting may not work. Obama needs to grow up strong to have his own opinion in dealing with such situations. He is not ready to be the President. Too ambitious. Why is he in such a hurry to run for presidency. Do more work as senator would be better, and get ready for next term.

The Wright argument against Obama is a sugar coated distortion that Obama said “God Damn America”.

How could a US Senator sit and ignore and not report sedition by Wright?

Why would anyone care what the brains behind the Iraq war thinks about any preacher. After all the deaths of American servicemen and women he is responsible for not to mention innocent Iraqi civilians he doesn’t have the right. Cheney and Hannity should go hunting together.

The most evil person in America has the gall to attack another person? The king of torture the person most responsible for thousands of brave soldiers deaths and many more crippled for life. A person who’s made millions of dollars of blood money from this war.A person who’s evil through and through.Worst VP ever!

Well if anyone can understand guilt by association, it would be Cheney.
As long as it was benefitting the Clintons, they were associated with very radically outspoken ethnic religious leaders–Rev. Wright included. Would be interesting to pull some of their recorded sermons too.
I don’t think anyone in an objective view of Obama would consider him racially prejudiced.
It’s not as much about Obama’s appeal as it is about not trusting the Clintons.
It’s hard to realize the person you support most is loosing the election.
However, the feeling of empowerment to make needed changes far outweighs anything Hillary can do at this point–negative for Obama or positive for herself.
No turning back, no turning back.

The chickens are still coming home to roost for the evil Wright.

To the guy who believes Obama has a hidden agenda and secretly is being supported by extreme fundamintalist Muslim’s…..Americans like you scare the crap out of me because you’re so ignorant and believe what you’re saying. Do some research and become informed before preaching hate. You’re accusations are absurd! And anyone who bothers to listen to Cheney is an idiot.

You are way wrong if you think this doesn’t matter. This matters BIG TIME. This wasn’t caught on tape, it was sold for profit by a militant church that has consistently sided with anti-semitic, anti-American, anti-white, anti-ITALIAN bigots. Barack Obama let his daughters listen to this maniac. I could make this commercial myself.

Mr Wright wanted God to damn the type of AMERICA that Cheney belongs to. And God will.
Not the good Americans, but those of CHENEY

That’s the only Wright thing Cheney has said in years!

To the guy that thinks that for some reason Cheney and his cronies haven’t been indicted because they haven’t done anything wrong- it must be a magical dream world you live in my friend! Imagine this little scenario for one moment shall we? Since Dubya has already shown us he has no problem pardoning his “cronies” perhaps Congress has decided that sometimes it is better to wait. Perhaps they have been stockpiling all of this beautiful evidence year after year, horror after horror and keeping it nice and safe.Waiting , just waiting for the day that good old Bushes pardoning skills fail him- cuz buddy you don’t have that type of power anymore. Then our new President is in office ( in my mind it is Obama, but you may picture Hillary if that is your thing) and things start to change. Troops are being withdrawn, the energy crisis is being addressed, and perhaps I begin to make more money working a job everday than people do on unemployment.. oh and while our new President is busy doing all of these wonderful things to “get the country back on the right track” he/she says Let’s not forget about the war crimes…let’s not forget about the atrocities …and don’t worry- there are NO pardons here. See that scenario to me seems a thousand percent more believable then the one where you say The Bush Administration has done nothing wrong.

It is so funny how some of these people are afraid of Obama.Some of you all are so scared someone who is willing to help people whether rich or poor will be in that whitehouse.Don’t worry Republicans Barack won’t win,you all will see to that I’m sure.

I am appalled that Vice President responded to the fact that the majority of the American people do not approve of the war in Iraq with, “So.”
It appears to me that the Reverend Wright story is conveniently reintroduced by politicians, yesterday, Lanny Davis, today, Vice President Cheyney whenever they want to divert the attention of the American people that face all Americans and return us to the politics of division and fear.
Think about it, why is the Reverend Wright controversy still considered “news”?
Gas prices are nearing $4.00 a gallon.
85,000 jobs last month
We are beginning our sixth year in the War in Iraq
And Vice President Cheney wants to now “weigh in” on Reverend Wright. Let’s get back to the real issues.

His comments were appalling, what elese is there to talk abour?

APPALLING!!! With the things that Cheney and this administration has done, what gives him the right to pass judgement on anyone else. He needs to clean up his own house first, then take a LONGGGGGGGGG look in the mirror.

Cheney and his neocon thugs need torture for two reasons: 1) to intimidate domestic opposition and 2) to force confessions from “terrorists” to justify the fraudulent “war on terror”.

Please. Cheney would say the same about Dr. Martin Luther King then. After all, MLK said alot of the same things during the civil rights movement. Take out the inflamatory parts of Rev. Wright statements and examine what is the truth.

George Washington, the father of this great country, owned 317 slaves at the time of his death. Please erect another statue of this man!
America the beautiful
“History is not false”

I have voted in every election for 40+ years and never have voted Republican.
IF B Hussien Obama is the on the ballot I will NOT vote for him.
For the first time in my 64 years on this earth, I will vote Republican.
All the Rev Wrigth, Rezko, Farakhan, etc. has not fully come out about him. And when the Republicans start, and it will soon, they will pound and pound this into the news Daily. It is Not gonna go away as the B Hussien supporters hope.
B Hussien Obama is NOT electible in November.

Vanessa, I don’t call people names but… You have to be smarter than this!!!.. so lets continue being led by liars, criminals, and corporate whores, because it has worked sooo well.. so far!!! Wow, lets keep spending money we don’t have and acting like that drunk fool in the bar that thinks he can kick everyones rear at once.

William Ayers, the terrorist buddy of Obama’s is the next skeleton out of the Barack closet. He makes Wright look downright patriotic.
Obama is toast.

Several bloggers above seem to have forgotten their glasses or perhaps their ability to think for themselves. Face the truth…Obama’s 20 yr history with a racist preacher is relevant. How can you sit in the pew listening to this guy’s diatribe for 20 years and then subject your children to this anti-American filth.

This Bozo who lied and led us into war and Abu Ghraib has the chutzpah to give us a moral sermon on pastor Wright?
The country has gone to the dogs indeed

Democrats must be ready if Obama wins, J. Wright comments will be repeatedly millions of times for the coming elections in Novemvber, because Mr and Mrs Obama are part of him, Michelle Obama’s comments show’s how they feel, there’s hatred on it.

Don’t worry democrats. The only way a Republican can remain in the White House is if we nominate some inexperienced radical leftwing minority who hangs out with terrorists and anti-semetics whose wife loathes this country.
Oops.

When did it become unpatriotic to criticize our government? Dissent is important. Falwell and Robertson claimed that 9/11 happened because of all of the gay people in America, I think Wright’s claims that our flawed foreign policies contributed to 9/11 happening is closer to the truth than the garbage spewed by those two religious noodniks. If we can’t look at ourselves in a critical way how do we improve? That doesn’t make Wright’s hateful comments right but it doesn’t make him a traitor either. We are guarenteed the right to speak freely about what we feel is wrong.

More bad news coming for Obama about Wright. noquarterusa.net has it all.

I hope Obama wins the nomination, so we can finally see the TRUE COLORS of America!… Because if he is defeated solely on the statements of Rev. Wright, which Obama has disavowed but brought the whole issue into the context of RACE in AMERICA, then it is sad to say America really has not progressed as much as many of us would like to believe…. Let’s be FRANK and HONEST here my fellow AMERICANS, how many of you do not have relatives, friends, and/or associates who have not made disparging racial comments or dissatisfaction with America in LESS TACTIFUL tones????… Yet, do we cut those people off or just take it with a grain of salt and look at the overall view of the person and their deeds???…….. Rev. Wright DID NOT ONCE advocate violence against any racial group nor America…..

whatever, i don’t like Clinton either.
McCain is your next president.

Barack’s closet is so full of skeletons they’re starting to just jump out at random.

On the other hand, if Hillary wins the nomination, it will finally be the wake-up call for voting African-Americans in this country…. I think this is the first election that many African-Americans are finally paying attention to the issues. Why? Because they are being forced to with this long drawn out battle in the democratic primary…. I think African-Americans are finally seeing that the democratic party has taken their vote for granted for so many years. This is why Obama is so enticing. He is not really pandering to African-Americans. They just happen to be supporting him. Yes, part of it is pride due to the kinship, but mainly because of his message…. Now if Hillary wins, I feel many African-Americans will defect to John McCain, not necessarily the Republican party, but to McCain. Why? because he is not a typical Republican… Just like Obama is not a typical Democrat…… This maybe the end of the Democratic party’s reliance on the “black vote”….

Where’s all the posters roasting McCain for his endorsement from Pastor John Hagee who says that all non-Christians are going to HELL and that Israel has a right to commit atrocities against the Palestinians, without batting an eye? I’m a christian, conservative, registered Republican and even I have a problem with THAT! Far, far more than Wright’s sermon to his congregation. It wasn’t a televised national speech, it was a sermon on a pulpit in a church… BIG difference. I’m not even going to vote for Obama, but I think giving McCain a free pass when his preacher has condemmed FAR more people (Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, etc., etc.), is far worse and worth condemming in evey way publicly. But then again I fall back to reason as my guide, and I don’t rely on the newspaper OR FOX news for my information.

Cheney would have had Rev Wright secretly sent to Guantanamo and waterboarded … all illegal, of course. – So.

This is a man who authorized torture….how ironic this is…!!

Wright. Obama’s mentor, his spiritual advisor.
The hatemonger.
The Anti – American who teaches blacks to hate whites.
Who teaches blacks to feel sorry for themselves.
Who in turn teaches it to their own kids.
It is whites who are racist anymore, it is blacks. Rev Wright teaches them that too.
Obama doesnt like white folks as he calls them, he wants their vote.

James you are exactly right.All this talk back and forth but in the end the Republicans will win and people will be complaining once again.It’s all about that mean green all mighty dollar and if you don’t have any you,the republicans say the heck with you.We are once again being set up for the oakey doak.

Let’s see, Cheney has:
(1) approved torture(breaking the rules of Nato)
(2) circumvented the constitution regarding search and wiretapping
(3) lied to the American people about the war and (God only knows what else).
—-
Wright has :
(1) said God damn American
(2) made some racial remarks, in a sermon, at a church, that upset some white people.
hummmmm
I am willing to say that Cheney is the worst of the two. I can handle a pastor that uses theatrics, I have NO use for someone who takes away my constitutional rights.

Funny that chickenhawk millionaire Cheney calls Wright’s words “appalling.” Wright served in the Navy and volunteered for more service, making him…dare I say it…MUCH PATRIOTIC THAN CHENEY.

The pre-eminent democratic nominee has a bunch of problems ahead of him. The republican machine will uncover every piece of garbage Obama has tried to hide. All the real campaign contributions from bundlers which were said to be grassroots, Rev. Wright, Rev. Meeks, the Kennedy’s, Larry Sinclair drug/gay affair, Donal Young – exlover murder, etc.

I think the republicans are pannicking,they are scared to death someone will be in the WhiteHouse that is willing to help all people,they can’t stand it.That’s why thy’re making all the racist comments and name calling because they see that people no better and can see right through all the shady,shiesty tactics the republicans have used for years.Everyone that’s calling Obama a racist sound racist themselves.Don’t worry republicans Obama won’t win,stop pannicking!

To Cindy in Jacksonville:
I don’t think it is wise for you to comment on the grammar of the posters on this site when you use grammar such as this: “I just I just can’t enough of the spelling and grammatical errors”
The Kettle is black!
I’m not sure what you can’t enough, but it is not a product of the educational system.

Hillary ???? She lies, she lies some more and then she lies some more. Exactly what is her “experience”? She attended the finest tea parties for 8 years? She was in the White House….so was the cleaning staff, they’re not qualified either. Oh, and the cleaning staff has fewer things to clean since the Clinton’s theft of White House items. This is a woman that led the assault and tried to ruin the women that her philandering husband was fooling with. If she wanted to be an example to women she would have left the jerk. SHE IS A LIAR !!! She dodged bullets in Kosovo, the lady in Ohio didn’t have insurance, she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, all bull. Google up her being fired for hiding evidence while working on Nixon’s impeachment for the Justice dept. If you would believe her she fought with the 300 Spartans, was the sole survivor of the Alamo, single-handedly hammered down the Berlin wall and it was her, not Eli Manning that led the Giants to the Super Bowl win. Any lie she’s is caught in was just “misremembering”. Is that even a word or was it made up by Mr. Testosterone, Roger Clemens? Bottom Line: She thinks Americans are stupid.

“torturing” (a procedure navy seals indure as part of their training until the the keyboard warriors complained)3 men with water boarding and slaps totally ignores the fact that the enemy kills and tortures all of our soldiers when captured. Those 3 men killed 0ver 3000 on 9/11. Only arm chair moralist and keyboard warriors are offended. Obama would have paid more attention to the radical moslem killers than he would to who they kill. Would have he has…..Obama is toast stick a fork in the Chicago radical leftist whose father left him as did his mother and the typical white person grandma raised him and sent him to Harvard. While his wife beat out white folks through affirmative action and went on to get a pay raise of 100,000 to 300,000 2 months after Obama was elected to the Senate. Thats Change…hardly and neither is having your mansion financed by Tony Rizzo. Can’t wait until the general election where the republicans will exspose this egomaniac as all talk and no walk…..by the way I am Independent….and we don’t like Obama more and more…just look at the polls…

It is childish to keep repeating something that has been beaten to death. If you continue beating this issue of Rev. Wright, you should not vote because you are too young. Also, if Amerians swallow what you are selling, they are more fargone than I give them credit for.

No, Cheney. YOU are appalling. You have been stealing from the American taxpayer and sacrificing American lives for far too long. You ordered your subordinates to put the lives of CIA operatives in danger just to satisfy your political ambitions, and when they were found guilty you had your lackey Bush pardon them. And then you laughed about it, because you have zero respect for the Constitution. You should have been impeached long ago. I hope that the next time you visit Europe you are arrested and tried just like Pinochet. And when that happens we will all say, so! Justice will finally have been served.

Frank, I think you were confusing Rezko with Frank Rizzo, your namesake, the racist former mayor of Philadelphia. Or maybe it was Ratso, the midnight cowboy, who was as fictional a a character as Larry Sinclair, another male prostitute whose fictions you seem too willing to swallow. Be careful: if you swallow too much, you will eventually get sick.

~ Second Criminal in Command also knew right where those WMD’s were too” I don’t give a Fresh Dripping Cow Pie what he say’s think’s or believes~

OBAMA AND THE MEDIA NEED TO GET A ROOM AND JUST FINNISH THE JOB. THE MEDIA IS NOT TALKING ABOUT HILLARY COLLECTING TWO MORE SUPER DELGATES.
THE MEDIA LOVES THE RACIST OBAMA. HE NEEDS TO DO US ALL A FAVOR AND DROP OUT OF THE RACE BECAUSE HE WILL NOT WIN IN THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. MR WRIGHT IS GOING TO BE ALL OVER THE AIR WAYS HE IS FINISHED.

The terrorists that flew into the twin towers came freely into this country under none other than your president clinton!! Trained to take off with an airplane, but never land… under your president clinton. Your president clinton had ties with the terrorists under his presidency, and the president that has had to clean up this mess is the president that has been beat up, ridiculed, and made fodder of every step of the way! That would be your president clinton’s media

obama can not win in november –you will see 100 of thousands of democrats voting for mccain or not voting at all

Certainly Reverend Wright is guilty of some absurd statements. On the other hand; Cheny’s lies have resulted in the deaths of thousands. I have complete Faith that God will determine which of these men will be condemned to Hell for all Eternity.

So?
to quote himself…

Remember “Diversion Man”? Bush’s approval rating is at 28%, who cares what this guy says?

Remember “Diversion Man”? Bush’s approval rating is at 28%, who cares what this guy says?

If Hillary hasn’t “shredded” Obama yet and he has been able to run a very up beat positive campaign, then the Republicans will not be able to “shred” Obama. Get ready all you nay sayers because President Obama will become a fact in January.

A snippet run hourly, daily and without any context is distortion. Those who participate in this are as guility as the pastor. Obama has no guilt. He did not speak it and he did not pass judgment based on ignorance.

I’ve never personally met our Vice President.
The only thing I know about this conservative Republican is what I read and seen from our liberal MSM wolfpack press.
And as you can imagine our liberal wolfpack press doesn’t care too much for this conservative Republican.
So……propaganga does work because I doubt if anyone making comments out here has even met or knows our VP from a professional or personal level.
Now take Obama, the most liberal Senator in the Senate.
How does our liberal MSM wolfpack press portray him?
……..Are starting to get my point?

We will bury you in November Democrats

It really amazes me how some of you guys are still harping on the Rev. Wright’s ordeal. If we want to state guilt by association, then we should bring up the hatred blacks had to deal with for years. Those of you hating Obama for his Reverends word should be hating your relatives for their words and actions…This is just some words for thought!

Who cares what this warmonger ever says??

Obama…didn’t have a church was advised that he would do better to select one…Obama was advised Rev Wright was a former Muslim and Black Nationalist. Rev Wright felt he could do more from a Christian church than as jsut a Black Nationalist…..Obama made the decision to align with Rev Wright’s church …their agendas were similar…Rev Wright became Obama’s mentor and advisor. …Great article yesterday on these facts at Real Clear Politics. Makes you to understand …it was never an issue as to what sermons Obama was in the service for….He agreed and chose Rev Wright accordingly.
Cheney is an American Hero and history will reflect it. Obama will destroy America and history will reflect tha as well.

I agree that
Cheyney has done more to hurt America than any Vice President before him.
Obama is no longer electable due to the Rev. Wright episode. Obama says that words are powerful and a person is what he says. If Obama believes in this then how can he not disown Rev. Wright completely. In case of Rev. Wright the words suddenly do not matter – the person behind the words becomes more important!
If Obama becomes the nominee, Republican’s will play up this weakness and this will reverberate in all white households. Obama will not be elected.

I suppose the Hamas Manifesto….Rev Wright had hanging in his office doesn’t matter to you either.
You are either very gullible or Anti-American…
Take your choice

The American people are appalled by him.

I am not a Republican. But on this one, I totally agree with the Vice President. Wright’s sermons are totally unacceptable, and Obama cannot be our President as he apparentlly felt okay with Wright’s sermons and stayed in that church full of hate sermons for 20 years. Whatever happened so long ago DOES NOT justify that kind of sermons in a church, which encourage the people from one group to hate another group. This is NOT acceptable in this country! Also, President Bush’s decision on Beijing Olympic is a good one. We gain nothing for not going, simple as that. Those extreme left-wing people should relax; should learn to pick the fights that really matters, like what’s going on with our ecomnomy and what’s going on in Iraq.

In the grand scheme, it is so very harmful to say “G-d Damn America.” And I’d like to know what your definition of torture is. It should not be deemed or identified as torture when what’s being done is to get information from a known terroist or criminal that would save people etc. from a deadly action. War is not a game of tiddly winks. The enemy is not bare-handing a person. We are talking about terroists who will stoop at nothing to destroy each and every American person, building, foundation, or ideology. Don’t even talk to me about torture. Torture is used against “animals” and for good reason; to make sure our country is safe from terrible destruction and harm at their and their comrades’ hands. Hello…. must we put up a picture of the World Trade Center on September 11th to remind you idiots just what these “people” are capable of doing? Has everyone lost their minds? We are at war with a terrible enemy and if it takes “torture” to protect ourselves from them, then that is what we should do. We are not here to win a popularity contest.

Momick – No, torture is NOT for animals. You would be arrested for doing that, or for treating animals the way a lot of the detainees are treated. My main concern is not whether we torture terrorists; the problem is we torture, or at least treat inhumanly, people who have not been proven guilty in a fair trial. Some of them may well be terrorists, but many are probably not. That is not what America is all about.

It’s not a matter of whether Obama is “intelligent” or not. It’s not a matter of being afraid of Bush or Cheney. You say you’re going to vote for him because he is intelligent. O.k. What is it about him that you like? O.k., he’s a good speaker. He mingles well with a crowd. But what is he all about? What is his platform? What will he do for the American people? He has not committed to a stance on anything substantive. What will he do about the current shape of the economy? What will he do about the borders? What will he do about anything? He has not told the American people anything. All he talks about is Change. That’s all fine and good but what change does he want to make? This man has not committed to anything because he does not have any experience. You say you like him because he’s intelligent. Great. We have an intelligent man with two years as a Senator, no military or foreign policy experience. Nothing more. This man is not up to the challenges of a presidency. Hitler was intelligent and a good speaker too. Remember?

As an African-American woman I can say that Obama does not represent the way that African-Americans think. I think that Obama is dividing the country and I do believe that he is a racist. He his making all African-Americans look bad because he is associated with such horrible people. Not to mention things that he says in his book and in interviews. I will support Hillary and if for some reason Obama is the nominee I will be forced to vote for McCain.

People, it all amounts to this. Educate yourselves about the candidates. Educate yourselves about the Iraq War, the Vietnam War, the border issues. Educate yourselves about the economy, about race relations, about the candidates. If you can blog, you can take time to learn. This is a very important election coming up this November with many important issues. Arm yourselves with knowledge about the issues. Then, you’ll be able to choose a candidate. Emotion feeds into everything we do but with electing a President, we must do our homework so we know who we are voting for. The American people are smart and will do what is best for the country. But education is our most important asset and now with technology, we have the means to question things; we have the means to learn; we have the means to search for answers. We owe it to ourselves to learn as much as possible. That way, when we blog, we can intelligently discuss the issues and we can go to our respective voting booths and vote with confidence for our favorite and the most worthy candidate. This is our G-d given right.

What did Bush and Cheney do about our borders? What did Bush and Cheney do about our Economy? What did Bush and Cheney do about our INFLATED American Dollar? What did Bush and Cheney do about high gasoline prices? I can go on and on! They both constantly lie and lie and lie. I know that we cannot afford another 4 more years of a “Bush and Cheney Virtual” Economy. We now have the highest deficit in the history of America and Bush and Cheney are responsible for it not Obama! Bush promised a balanced buget in 4 years! I saw and heard him say this but now his story has changed once again. Bush and Cheney may be able to brag about experience but they obviously have NO INTELLIGENCE! Look at the mess that they have created!
What I really like about Obama is that he doesn’t change “certain” views on “specifics” like the war in Iraq, health care and the economy but most of all he seems to want to work together as a team player and not a foolish “bull headed idiot” wearing blinders. We need someone in “Office” that can Unite both Parties together for the “good of America”. I know it may be a hard “thing” to do but Obama “strikes” me as the only one that may be capable of doing this.

Now here comes race baiter yet another sucker whose life is miserable because of someone else. Always picking sides – so it’s us against them – because folks like race baiter are such chumps that can’t stand on their own. Everything is racsit – What a bunch of wimps. It’s like arguing with children – they live in a fantasy world not the real world. They don’t talk about the counrty is in a mess – gasoline prices, housing market, eudcation costs, a strained military, a weak dollar – they don’t deal in the real world – just this fantasy world where the only thing that matters is your race and your religion. Bunch of low, class ignorant suckers who can’t make it in life. Thus they aren’t trying to talk about the real issues. You nuts like Cheney and right winger Reagannuts have don’t enought damage to our country. A new generation is kicking you are your ilk to the curb. Cry all the way home baby. Change is comin whether you like it or not. Wise Americans are standing up and taking there country back for the good of all.

wright said g–d— america…….when asked how he felt about 75% of america hateing the war cheney said –”SO”….and who passed on the order to torture prisoners? cheney did….and cheney is appauled— i am appauled at cheney,s total lack of decentcie and humanity. go away bush go away cheney go away republicans and dont come back until you grow up and stop being evil.

Cheney sure has a lot of nerve. I wonder how he even sleeps at night. I wonder how many people were killed because of him; and I wonder how many innocent people he tortured. How many innocent people were and are incarcerated because of him. I wish he was subjected to the same torture and incarceration he caused to be inflicted on others.

The Democrats have gone down this road many times before. They will nominate another leftist and that candidate will lose. Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry and now Hillobama. Obama’s color and his tendancy to listen to paranoid conspiracy theories is not his problem. His problem is that he is just another typical leftist. Democrats should wise up.

Cheney is awesome. Love the guy. Hope he goes back into the oil business and makes us even more money. Owned Haliburton and that was a 7 bagger while he was the head man. Isn’t America great. Wright is true scum and a sleazy race baiter along the lines of David Duke and Jesse Jackson. Maybe Jesse, Wright, Duke and Obama can all get together for dinner and churn for ideas on how to make us all hate each other.

how are we any better than cheney? if we sit here and do the same old talking about obama,how can we not wont some one else in the white house other than bush and cheney bill or hillary,we are just like rev. wright if all we do is say thing like him.I mean how can i go to hell for what my mother say or my father or friend. obama heart is in the right place its not him its us, we keep talkin about rev. wright but what about what hillary said they ran from the plane she lied to us out of her on mouth. and we are here still talkin about what the pastor said.hillary got on tv and said with this uncaring voice ok i made a mistake it happen well how many mistake will we allow her to make a nother mistake with another war.we dont need bill back in the white house. obama 08

Wright’s words haven’t killed anyone Mr Cheney. Yours have.

42 years old and did vote. what obama had 500789 votes from georgia and 700375 votes from alabama.And Im out there every day workin 4 Obama to make sure he winn 0bama 08

Sasha…remember you can’t say “typical black” you have to say “typical white person” if you want to be president. The double standard makes me sick.

I’m ok with waterboarding terrorists as long as it saves american lives.

To Jessy – evidently ‘you’ didn’t listen to rev wright sermons. He was saying “Not God Bless America but G d America” and there was no misunderstanding what he was saying. I’m no fan of Bush & Cheney but that is the only smart thing Cheney every said.

Democrats promised to balance the budget and eliminate earmarks. None of that happened.
Democrats control Congress and its approval ratings are in the 20s (lower than Bush’s).
The states with the highest unemployment rates are the ones controlled by Democrats: California, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan.
The states with the lowest unemployment rates are the ones controlled by Republicans: Texas and Florida
Texas with its business-friendly policies created jobs the last three months while the rest of country lost jobs. More jobs and businesses are moving from high tax states to low tax states. If you want a good paying job and you are not a Democrat, please move to Texas. We have plenty of jobs.
Obama and Clinton promise higher taxes, which will only send more jobs overseas. Money is portable and if businesses can’t compete in the U.S., capital will flow even faster to other countries. Democrats also promise to restrict free trade, which will only destruct jobs in the U.S. Restricting free trade means that other countries won’t want to do business in the U.S. A policy, Smoot-Hawley, that lead to the Great Depression restricted trade. NAFTA was supposedly going to ruin the working class. It didn’t. The unemployment rate is low and much lower than Europe’s unemployment rate.
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are unfunded entitlement programs that run close to 50 trillion dollars in liabilities. Nobody talks about how these programs are adding to the national debt. So, the Democrats propose universal health care to add to this debt burden. It is like someone already maxed out on three credit cards opening a new credit card account. Can you say new payroll tax?
On national security, people still trust the Republicans more than Democrats on national security. It also doesn’t help that Obama’s pastor is friends with Libyan leader, Gaddafi. He is the one that refused to hand over terrorists that detonated an airplane bomb over Scotland. There were 270 victims. Obama and his wife should have quit the church a long time ago. Any reasonable person that ever knew of Wright’s connections to terrorist leaders and his irrational views on America would have left. This will be a big issue in the upcoming election.
These are the issues that will decide the national election. The “Bush is a war criminal” mantra by the left that so effectively defeated him in 2004 won’t be.
Lastly, if you are one of those people that feel that you are a victim. If you feel that you cannot get ahead because of someone else. If you feel that there is inequality because someone else is successful and you are not, then you do belong in the Democratic Party. They are the ones that will make the successful people pay for your health care insurance, college, room and board, dental, Medicare, Medicaid and retirement. They will even give you tax credits to have babies. Just remember at the end of the day this will only lead to a weaker America. No one wins in a Socialist / Communist society. The incentive to work and invest in America won’t be there because the tax burden will be too high. As a result, the quality of life will decline. Sure, if you get sick, you will eventually get treated for free. You may have to wait a while for the government administrator to approve your paper work. Also, you may not be comfortable waiting in the un-air-conditioned hospital (like they have in France).
I look forward to the debates.

Cheney is the one who is appalling.

if bush were impeached as he should be for failing his oath of office and sending the military to war but not closing the US border.
give cheney a chance and if he doesn’t do it, get rid of him too.

cheney is the worst vp we have ever had and bush the worst pres so anything those two baffoons say is just ignorable. my two year old grandson says more intelligent things then theses two idiots.

CHENEY SUCKS…..And so does BUSH..

It’s time for the American leaders have the guts to call Rev Wright’s preaching appaling and disgusting. We should not tolerate anti American preaching. NO OBAMA – the anti American just like Rev Wright.

I don’t think any Obama supporter thinks the wright nonsense will go away, after all republicans tend to sound like broken records so I’m sure they’ll bring it up again and again.

Rev Wright “absolutely appalling”
No kidding .. !!
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE, I AGREE WITH CHENEY.

So Susan, because I saw the best in the man who was my priest and not the worst, then you question my character? Wow, you truly are holier than I am. I am so glad that everything is so cut and dried for you. Sure, you would have left my church but I like millions of other Catholics did no such thing. I guess that allows you to question every Catholic who had a problem or questions about the child molestations by their priests and others but still sat in those pews every Sunday. I’m glad your life is so easy.

The Roman Catholic Church has had several Priests sexually molest people. I sit in on a pew, in a Roman Catholic Church and you’re going to BLAME ME????? I did not sexually molest anyone. How many Priests were thrown in Jail for these crimes? I’m still sitting on the pew! Is it my fault? Obama has nothing to do with what his minister said and so what if his minister said bad things about Bush. His Minister did not sexually multistate anyone AND BUY OFF VICTOMS! Now put that in your pipe and smoke it!

I think most of us news junkies forget that other ‘bitter’ and ‘uninformed’ folks have 1 vote just like us. Those of you who think that this Wright deal is just going to vanish are just plain wrong.

98% of what Cheney says is appalling!
98% of what Rev. Wright says is right on!
Cheney didn’t go into the military and it wasn’t because he was a conscientious objector.
Wright did 6 years in the military.
Do the math. Who is the real patriot?

What are the offensive comments that Rev. Wright made? Its good to hear someone speak other than politicians or from those who have different opinions rather than main stream. Let’s face it the US is not the best country in the world. The mainstream says how great we are because we have our freedom. Freedom to do what? Freedom to vote for a person that is qualified to be a used car salesman, and the horrible thing is we actually elected him. We are free to go against the UN and numerous other countries and invade Iraq on the belief that they could do the US harm. With what and how? Maybe invade us with the use of paddle boats. Here is the thing we are an avarice nation. While numerous countries in the world are starving we are squabbling over whether or not we should eat at Red Lobster again or not. Where is the love and compassion for others? Where is the heart of our government? Just follow the money and I think you will find it.

Make that his BIRTH certificate.. Sorry
