Was it a poster depicting Obama by any chance?

Buy one for your small-town gun owner, law enforcer, or church-goer. Buy two for your embittered Pennsylvania friends and family. Or send one to your favorite Obama supporter! It’s an elitist thang. They’ll understand:





After all, it's an Elitest thing! We just don't understand!

I am sympathetic, but I don't sit in my armchair crying -- I volunteer my help. I give lots to charities of my choice and to people in need. I don't need a govt to tell me where to give it and then waste most of it on admin.

You're right, I forgot the key ingredient, HARD WORK.

Hey, you want to bash another country, let's look what it's like in your own. Sidestepping again.

You calling me a racist again, Strolls? 555 How many close black friends have you ever had? Or any other nationality? Easy for you to play pundit away from America ain't it? Yep, them white folks are to blame for all of America's ills. Keep trying, Strolls.
I am. Somebody needs help, I don't hum and haw about helping. I just go and do it. Not like you, Strolls. Sure, I read the speeches, the news, the comments to make my opinion on the macro view. And, I have been to ghetto areas, Stroller. You should do a tour yourself before you spew your liberal remarks and accusations. My black friends won't even go to the ghetto areas and they work hard to do the same as I do: make a living. And they work in regular jobs, many trying to raise families, just like the Chinese, East Indian, Thai, Japanese, Lao, and Korean people I count as my friends. Oh, and white folks, too.

There exists a world outside of the USA actually, and I suspect many US citizens might be surprised how many of us there are. We don't vote in the US, but we watch your elections. The Bush administration has driven home to even the apathetic majority that what happens in your country affects us too.

To most of us, the only candidate that even registers on the Richter scale is Obama. His resume' is the best- far and away. His intelligence and eloquence in an entirely different league. His statesmanship also. His achievements. He represents something. Oh, is he half Black? Well I'll be Gawdamned.

McCain- lets face it, a well meaning buffoon. Fluff.

Hillary- Wife of the ex-President. For all of his faults, Bill looks like some sort of god compared to your incumbents. But we look askance at why George seniors retarded Son should be succeeded by Bills Wife. Sounds a little, ummm, undemocratic y'know.

Carry On.

One might even say "elitist".

raycarey

allegedly having black friends means you can't be a racist?

and after reading many of your posts on this forum jet gorgon, IMO there is no point in denying that you are indeed a racist.

sabang

Actually, some of my best friends are White.

I respect this attitude, yet it overlooks issues in society which create need.
When there is one person in need, charity is the right approach to assist, when there are 1000 people in need, with a common denominator causing it, then this is best addressed on a communal level, i.e. politics.

Refusing to discuss "German Aryans" in an Obama thread in US Domestic is "sidestepping"?
Besides, how does defending one of the leading US presidential candidates translate into "bash another country"?

- get a grip, gal.


Are you drunk?

Looks to me like you are the one "spewing accusations" about the Obamas and all and sundry who call you on it.

I see, good blacks shut up and get on with life, nice. Why do the Obamas stir trouble, I wonder, haven't they got enough money to live on? Or are they too mean to donate some to charity to solve the problems in society? Or maybe they are just nasty, screwed up people, blacks with a chip on their shoulder? Commie racists with an anti-American agenda?

Boon Mee

Heh...after reading your posts ad nauseum, IMO (& others I'm sure) you're an elitist snob. And that's being charitable!

Boon Mee

I'm surprised that the margin isn't greater since this half-honky, half-donkey made those statements. How does it feel to be in the minority...again, there RC?

"Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 25% agree with the Democratic frontrunner while 19% are not sure."

Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election.

blackgang

Yes, thats what he says alright, but no one, at least the general public has really heard what he thinks or will do or is like,, well they have heard some, but it has been denied and was saying it was a mistake and not really his own ideas.

We have to remember he is a politician and what he says into a mike is not what is really going on in his head. He is selling a product..

True, honest Joe.
Here's the liberal spin on Obama's words that these folks are bitter and clinging to guns, religion and fear of immigrants.

Obama's email campaign translation:
"A few days ago, Barack spoke about the frustrations that working people in this country are feeling and said what we all know is true: that many people are bitter and angry because they believe their government isn't listening to them."
Welcome to Obama for America
Um, OK.

stroller

Hmm, so that makes 25% of the American people "elitists".
I see...

Sorry hon, it is not the liberal spin, it is a quote from Obama's campaign website.

Boon Mee

No...just dumb, stupid or blind to the creeping Marxisim that would be an Obama POTUS...

raycarey

jesus.

Unelectable. Turns the other cheek. Talks to his enemies. Helps people in need regardless of their race or religion. Inexperienced. He was a black Jew. Never owned a gun!!
