Shapiro is accurate. (Hostile polyticks does not mean traitorous polyticks: "The war is lost.")
This election was about one thing and one thing only: Americans' puerile need for unity through self-congratulatory, cathartic membership in a broad, transformative political movement. For eight years, Americans have been engaged in hostile politics. And after eight years, Americans were sick of it. That isn't to America's credit. Hostile politics -- hard-fought political conflict over the issues that matter -- is not a bad thing. It is precisely the sort of messy republicanism the founders embraced. Early elections were replete with mudslinging, character assassination, brawls and scandals. They were also replete with some of the most substantive debate on policy ever put before mankind. Apparently, we're no longer interested in the dirty business of politics. We'd rather feel ourselves part of a high-minded movement. Not the sort of movement that espouses particular policies -- not the antiwar movement, or the pro-life movement -- those movements are too divisive. We want to be part of a movement that is solely about us. Barack Obama was the vessel for that movement. --Ben Shapiro |

I can actually agree with this statement.
Although I will say that it's funny how suddenly, when conservatives are no longer in power, it is no longer traitorous to be critical of the administration. |

Being critical and calling the CinC a warmonger, Hilter, and other stupid crap is not one in the same thing, and we have seen much of that over the full length of the Bush Administration, we have even seen people celebrate when the Troops were going to loose funding while at war!  Obama is a lot of things, but above criticism and the will of the people he is NOT!  |

Scouts..in the last five days I have killed no less than ten threads that have compared obama to hitler. Just FYI
If you need to brag about it, you're probably lying. |

Very true. And that will is that he should be president, in spite of almost two years of lies, slander, and (occasionaly) valid criticism. |

To be honest Fin, I don't remember reading or seeing it here, but I will take your word at it, as well as you won't see me say it...It is wrong to compare him to anyone, since he is his own person with his own "RULING" style, I think calling his policies socialistic should be a fair comparison since they seem one in the same though! |

Then, IF, HE, took things right out of "THAT GUY'S" playbook...how would you bring that up? |

I'll take it one step further. Don't know what the OP is thinking if he doesn't think this was one of the hardest fought, dirty, knock-down drag out campaigns we ever had. The only problem the OP seems to have is that The American People "knocked-down, dragged-out" and "completely stomped a festering hole in the Republican Party" It was a hard-fought campaign, and the OP's side got their a$$es handed to them!!! |

So referring to Obama supporters as brownshirts is not a nazism reference? Comparing Obama to Fidel Castro? Ernesto "Che" Guevara? To Bin Laden? I think his policies should be criticized because you're right in that niether he, nor any other publicly elected official is above scrutiny. I still think it's funny how conservatives "flip flop" (God I feel dirty using that reference) on this issue depending on who is in office though. |

Oh come on now, not all people play games and act childish, but those who do are in every walk of life not really able to be labeled to any specific group! |

As it appears you and Ira are both determined to go suicide by Mod on this, let me put it out there for you, ALL OF THE MODS ARE IN ARGEEMENT, if we see anymore HITLER/NAZI/OBAMA crap it will be met with time off. We have been posting genreal warnings everytime we see it. This is a no win, so just do not do it. JHC if half of the crap I have let go in the past week were said about GWB there would be nobody left. The rules were altered to allow more freedom of speech and you folks want to test it, the rules have been relaxed, but do not push it.
If you need to brag about it, you're probably lying. |

The loss was hardly having their "a$$es handed to them" since the popular vote was closer than the electoral vote shows. More puerile hyperbole from the ignorant... but considering the source, it was expected. |

Fin, he was asking a valid question not attacking Obama in this specific post, of which it is hard to answer the question posed, maybe as a mod you can answer how he or anyone for that matter could show their concerns and comparisons of the "actions" if in fact they are similar in nature through a respectful manor??? |

May he be a better ruler than King George! Oh wait, that's setting the bar too low... |

At least he is not the embodiment of the Nationalist Party.
Wait a second... Neither was John McCain. How is that? If the Nationalist/Republicans didn't like Senator McCain, then who do you think they would have chosen? 1. Newt Gingrich 2. Joe Lieberman 3. Rush Limbaugh Alrightty then! Limbaugh '12 |
