Umbrellagate?! How low can they go- Right Wing's petty attacks on President Obama

[TonyBKK]

Republican wingnuts contrive another silly Obama “scandal” — Umbrella-gate!

[bsnub]

Those are not American Marines. I agree that repubtards are making themselves look stupid but this picture looks to be of British military perhaps?

[pseudolus]

very good point Snubby.

[sabang]

It depends what you care about. If you care about the dems over the thugs in a political sense, smile. They are lickin' yo' boots.

If you care about the great nation of the USA, not much to smile about. Half of your political choice is dysfunctional, lowbrow, anti-science, anti everything. Just thugs that want to get their hands on power, at any cost to the country they are supposed to represent. Their failure means they are willing to bring down the USA with it, because of their stoopid sense of entitlement.

Speaking a someone who was VC of a conservative party branch in Sydney during the late 80's, I have no hesitation in describing the neo-gop as a disgrace to your great country, and a disgrace to democracy in general.

You truly are a delusional old fool. You post up utter tripe and lie you ass off post after post. I have exposed your lies on at least one occasion. But speakers corner is full of your unsubstantiated lies. I am sorry that Ayahuasca failed to open your very small and simple mind.

[Mr Earl]

. I am sorry that Ayahuasca failed to open your very small and simple mind.

Are you kidding! I see thing's much more clearly than you likely ever will.
Yes I look at things differently and I see large federal government as part of the problem not the solution.
Social issues like crime, drug addiction, mental health, education, resource management, industry, manufacturing, food supply, must be addressed in a more localized state to state manner. Anytime the the Federal government steps in the situation becomes worse.
Remember Antiedum 9/17/1862 and the 450,000 lives lost during the War of Northern Aggression. One of the bloodiest wars in human history!

The Federal Government is not your friend, amigo.

Another crybaby thread.

I suppose so. You're now the niggaz of the white/advanced world- well meaning people elsewhere feel sorry for your people.

In the Great Depression, the Cameroons raised over a million dollars to help your poor. One year during the Great depression, over 100,000 Americans apllied to emigrate to a land they thought would have more opportunity- Stalin's Russia. Bring back the good ole' days- now, the Venezuelan government throws some charity at your poor. You've lost the plot.

[Primo]

Are the rightwing down to complaining about umbrellas now? Very funny.

[pseudolus]

Wooo hooo - More from the punch and judy side show.



Reds v Blues.

Keeping people's thoughts away from what's really going on for years. Available in the US, UK, Europe, Australia.... you name it. same old same old. So pathetic is the pep rally WOOO HOOO democrat or GOP now that they can actually distract you with something about Umbrellas.

Lift up the canvas and see the real picture.

Without a doubt the entire USA federal government needs major surgery.

The USA is still a rich country with tremendous resources and great people, but the current Federal government is a giant parasite which should be exterminated.

[Humbert]

Without a doubt the entire USA federal government needs major surgery.

Should probably start with the constitution. It's pretty clear that in the Senate the small, redneck, rural states are over represented. Seems stupid to me that a state like Wyoming with half a million people has the same representation in the Senate as a state like California with almost 40 million people.

[raycarey]

well, here's your chance to live by example, earl...exterminate it from your own life


post up a copy of the letter you send to the SSA telling them you don't want a single penny beyond what you put in.

of course you'll need to opt out of medicare

next time you're in the US, stay off of federal roads.

if you get cancer, don't take any treatments that were advanced with research funded by the federal government.

take your grandkids out of public schools. and if/when they want to go to college....no student loans.

don't fly within the US.

don't mail a letter through the US post office

you can no longer support US military action.

etc....

[sabang]

Thats the irony, and a big one. Plenty of affluence too. You certainly have a big problem in Congress, which is just plain dysfunctional. But I think a bigger problem than fed government is your people- hopelessly divided, and blinkered by partisanship- assisted of course by good ole fashioned manipulation, and a political system pretty much designed to stymie. And I think the biggest problem of all is with the white American male population- I think as a demographic they are currently acting as the major impediment, and the easiest demographic to be hoodwinked.

Basically, you watched too much John Wayne, not enough Mr Smith goes to Washington.

Steps already take years ago.

Now carry on being a ra-ra USA Obamabot.

[raycarey]

Steps already take years ago.

you started a thread here on TD about riding your motorcycle from alaska to s. america. every road worth driving on in AK was built with funding by the US govt.

and how did you get back to america to make that trip, by boat? if not, the air traffic controllers for the flight you took are federal employees.

you've opted out of medicare? would love to see the text of that letter.

oh, and you're posting on the internet...guess what earl....without funding from the US federal govt. there woudn't be the internet we know today.

time to log off, sport.

.without funding from the US federal govt. there woudn't be the internet we know today.

the internet as we know it today would be very different without the funding from the national science foundation.

nsf.gov - National Science Foundation (NSF) News - A Brief History of NSF and the Internet - US National Science Foundation (NSF)

The Americans invented the Internet, a Brit invented the World Wide Web.

Maybe on the contrary. White Americans are on the decline, immigrants from countries no used to democracy and equality, but the rule of men and money on the rise. More ethnic, religious, cultural fault lines to be exploited by the manipulators.

I'm rereading Stieg Larsson's Millenium series at the moment, the author was a far left revolutionary. Yet his heroine Lisbeth Salander and John Wayne are quite alike.

[wasabi]

He held his own.

[slackula]

Considering they whipped themselves into a frenzy about arugula and what kind of mustard Obama likes I suppose the umbrella thing is a bit of a step up.

[sabang]

Only the Brits know how to carry a brolly, proper like. Potus should leave it to grunts.

[Humbert]

Is there a thread for miscellaneous wacko, wing nut stories? Seems like every other day we have a new manufactured scandal or controversy emerging from the usual suspects and their media mouth pieces.

[sabang]

Oh goodness me there are plenty. Shame there is no thread for important stories, what is actually really happening. One of the biggest nett wealth transfers in human history (almost certainly the biggest actually), and absolutely nobody is listening.

Why? Because Obamas a muzzie and a socialist.
And gets marines to carry his umbrella.
