Sorry it happened---family and friends are , usually, the mix that makes life enjoyable. America is populated with people who believe they are going to "right" the world for all of its past sins. What better thing can you do than to elect a person of the race that was brought here as slaves?????? What great and noble purpose.

What bullshot--there's more smoke coming out their pieholes than intellectual reasoning in their heads. I am at the stage where I just don't give a hoot anymore. I cannot believe how many a**ho**s there are in America. These silly bastards are helping a non-American, (nothing to do with birth, ancestry, religion or any of those issues). It deals with his anti-American attitude. His past is loaded with actions that are intended to destroy our culture. I never thought I would live to say this--I don't give a rodent's derriere if he is elected, he will never be my president. 

Here's my problem --the other candidate, named McCain, has the destruction of America as his plan also. Unlike the Muslim, McC wants to convert America to a global entity. His efforts are not hate of country. They arise from a belief that it will make America better. Yet, in the long run, nay, even the short run, he is dangerous to America. He and BHO will balkanize us as quickly as can be done, no matter who gets elected.

The major difference to me is that McCain is motivated by  the belief that the world will be a better place without borders. And he is right , in one sense, only. The sense that those who reap that benefit , from Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, China, India,  etc, will benefit. The only losers are Americans. (And not all, some businessmen who don't give two figs about this country will see profits rise for them.)

Me, I will risk my life to support America. Many of us have already done that once, and as old as we are , we are willing to do it again.

The "do gooders' will cause irreparable harm that may never be able to be fixed.There is nothing dumber than to wallow in misplaced compassion and elect those who will destroy us.

In closing, I am now a misfit in my country. A man who feels the well being of his countrymen is paramount to personal gain. It is small comfort, coming here, to NB, to know I am not alone. There are 300 million in our country and many, many of them think they are doing something noble by voting for a man of color.

until it became apparent that I wasn't having a discussion, I was facing a religious zealot, a missionary for the Religion of Obama. Nothing of fact, common sense, of printed websites or documentated video, could change his mind. Biden's "tear jerker" response to health care was considered his "ya gotta give it to him" moment, even though it had nothing to do with the question. 

Funny, Christians are considered "fundamentalist Bible-thumpers who have "turned of" critical thinking....is this more psychological projection of what is really going in the Obamanauts' minds these days?

I told him I wasn't interested in any more "discussion", since he wasn't looking to discuss anything-he was looking to force a "conversion" or most likely, simply to shoot down, dominate, destroy an opinion that threatened his Holy Priesthood.

Joe, I understand your frustration completely. My sister and her husband went through a few weeks when they would not speak to me because of this election. (Actually, she and I have had a truce for years - her husband crossed the line and I hung up the phone on him.)

We are talking again, because I "crossed the aisle" and said "look, I have a lot of people I can argue politics with, but I only have one sister." If she were not my sister though, I doubt I would have made the effort.

I am not a "hard-core" conservative, in fact, I am a social libertarian, but Obama particularly scares the hell out of me. Not because of the color of his skin, but because of the content of his heart, to use MLKJr's line. I disliked the Clintons, but I am terrified of Obama.

I understand also, why it seems like it should be a cakewalk to convince the opposition of Obama's history and danger, but it's almost like they have become zombies or something. Nothing gets through to them - nada. If you show them evidence, they either deny it, or twist it to somehow make everyone else look bad, as if that somehow negates the fact that Obama did (and does) what he did. 

I don't know what has happened. I know that my sister is extremely intelligent and that she normally does not fall for scams and such, and it is incomprehensible to me that she cannot see the truth, but she watches her "news shows" (I guess CNN, knowing her). The only thing I can think of is that 1984 has come, and they are sending her messages back through the tube. It's crazy.

Anyway, Joe. Good luck. Better to lose a friend than to lose our country, which is probably going to happen if the Marxist regime gets in office.

(BTW - I had a realtor over the other day, and this guy, 60-some years old, told me that he expects that there will be a revoloution if Obama is elected, that he expects that the people will have to rise up and bear arms! That's scary talk coming from this old golf-playing country-club guy!)

My biggest fear mazzi is that the MSM all believe they are on a mission from GOD to get Obama elected.  Ratings be damned!  They will try to reinvent themselves after Obama is elected.  But for now, they stay devoted to the mission.

Hannity did good last night - possibly good enough to actually have made a crack in the foundation.

 I hope you are right and it could happen.  The next few days should tell us one way or the other.

 -because in a State Media Apparatus ratings are unimportant, money and power come from obeying the State's Will. 

Media wants to control the State but if necessary will pretend to be a part of it, if the money is good. Helping to get a Socialist or Communist state elected, they hope that State will "remember" them and give them more power in the New Regime.
