Oh boy, another: "Only my candidate stands between us and THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!!!!"
When you consider how many people seem to be looking for a Messiah instead of a President you have to wonder if America isn't ripe for another Hitler.
Since you don't know where I stand or how I feel it's a bit stupid to jump conclusions.
If you don't sense that the nation is in dire straits then I don't have anything to say to you. Just keep getting up in the morning I suppose. I do know that everyone will NOT get it no matter what. It's no different than, say, geometry. Some will excel, others will struggle and others won't have a clue. Which shall you be?
YOUR "Messiah" will be we the people getting off of their arses and studying the Bill of Rights, Constitution and knowing the judicial processes. Once that is done we can then look at the public record of our elected leaders and JUDGE THEIR ACTIONS ACCURATELY or, yes, we're done. IN other words, YOU will save YOU. Perhaps you were speaking of self there. I dunno. Yes, we've been living under more and more fascism the last sixteen years - of course since no one has seen goose stepping and large "pep rallies" very few statistically will have noticed.
What I'm looking for is someone who can assist in healing the issues of this nation both lawfully & legally (the Constitution and Bill of Rights) and possibly Socially. NONE of the so-called "viable" candidates are pure. Everyone can sharpshoot Obama but the others are far worse: they sat quiet at best or assisted at worst in the demise of this nation in many areas. Will Obama be any different? I SENSE that he's somehow unique to the other two, but I don't KNOW if that is enough to change the course of this nation to resemble something that the Founders would be proud of. Others may sense and feel differently.
One thing most here won't know unless they are Black and have regularly attended Black churches over a long period of time is that they tend to be "fire and brimstone" affairs with much emotionalism. This is why I'm not much concerned about the pastor of his church. I couldn't really care less about the views of his pastor. I don't require a "leader" - spiritual or otherwise - but that's me. I can read the Bible, Koran, the Vedas and any other so-called Holy Book (and I do) so I've no need for a Pastor, Priest, Rabbi, Imam or Guru. We're making a small hill out of a bump in the road. But to each his/her own I guess.
"Oh... so you are one of those RP supporters who jumped on the Obama bandwagon. ... birds of a feather..."
Hmm, your reading skills are, well, "interesting". I see nothing denoting switching from one to the other or any references of same. Perhaps you have an overactive imagination or an ego so large that you must make up things...
"You support a candidate that is on the record as supporting a national ban on concealed carry except for law enforcement and military? And you support that candidate on a board dedicated to firearms rights?"
A bigger issue to me is this war for natural resources (go read our National Security Strategies to know what it is I'm speaking about; we can discuss later). Our attempts to destablize the Caucasus (for oil pipelines) is perceived by the Russian leadership to be a direct threat to a resurgent Russia. There have been discussions of "regime change" in both Russia and China. Now... how in Hell does one do that and not get nuked??? McCain is a warhawk. So is Hillary. Obama... well, he made mention of strategic strikes in Pakistan if he had evidence that terrorists were using Pakistan to make strikes on our troops in Iraq. McCain's "bomb, bomb Iran" should be enough to make him unelectable. You see, Iran is on the short list to be a part of the SCO which Russia leads; Russia has ICBMs... Nothing else need be said from my perspective on this. If it's not obvious then...
Paul or Obama? What's the common factor other than both defended racist nutjobs?
On the Repub side he's the only one I'd save from a burning house. On the Dem side he's the only one I'd save from drowning. How's that?
Of the two I think I'd prefer Paul...
