After reading everything on this thread, I'm wondering what this has to do with Japanese Porn?

Y'know, as vituperative as the rhetoric has gotten over whether the Prez is or isn't a socialist, I seem to remember the more-or-less exact same predictions made when "Slick Willy" took the presidency in 1992. His tax hikes would ruin the economy, there would be a recession the likes we would never see. We should take a slightly bigger view of what is going on here! Obama isn't a king, his proclamations don't become law. He was stymied even when he had a "lock" on the Senate, because of moderate to Blue Dog democrats. This millenialism detracts from real planning. If there is to be no future, we can quit looking for ETI right now!!

President Obama has outspent last five presidents.
Federal spending is also higher this year than any year since 1949. The last time spending was higher—in 1946, it was 24.8—the country was just coming down from the exorbitant rates of spending during World War II.

The USA does not have a tax issue, it has a spending issue.

there is a far cry between you do not like him and he is going to destroy the country. This country survived Nixon, Reagan, AND Dubya!

Uhhh.....that's what Germany said......in other terms of course.


LOL, good point!

Wish I did not have to make such a nasty comparison......

But, history sez.......


Indeed, history says that everything Hitler did was lawful. He made the law and everyone bowed to the man and accepted it.

Stop accepting.....

I never cease to be amazed how a (compared to tea party) liberal president is compared to a far right winged minority hating genocidal supremacist..

And if anyone wanted to be the last elected president it was Dubya.. he did all he could to start Armagedon...

And now we get one that tries to challenge the new royalty, those that rule by lobbyist and Boards of directors.. and we invoke it with fascist comparisons?

Seriously? Turn off Rush and Glenn and THINK!!

Guy -- great post, aside from being over the top and inaccurate, quite excellent indeed. To tell you the truth, this one I for one won't grace with a point by point refutation. Simply put, by posting it, you've indicated a great degree of 'IDishness' in your thought process and it has been made quite evident what a time waste trying to reason with ID is.

I don't listen to Rush or Glenn.

I have been a Constitutionalist for a very long time. Longer then the both of them. I also question both as truely being Constitutionalist.

Guy, selective data -- sort of like pulling out passages from the bible and then interpreting to fit a preconceived world view. Concrete and absolute.

I wonder if Obama was really born in Linz? Hey, that's another Rush 'factoid' -- someone born in a foreign country taking over the most militarized country of the world. I wonder how Rush missed that 'self-evident truth'?

Message 1239765 - Posted: 2 Jun 2012, 0:49:02 UTC - in response to Message 1239743.  

Part of the problem is that, if one tries hard enough, we can find similarities between any of us and the evil we hate. Be it Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, or even Lizzie Borden. We don't like to think of it because we want to distance ourselves from the worst figures in human history.

But what to these similarities prove? That the person we're comparing is as bad as the person we've compared them to? No, all we've successfully illustrated is that those "evil" beings were nothing more than human, as so are we. Of course there's going to be some similarities.

What's appalling is that anyone would actually use literally the most hated man in human history and compare them to anyone. Obama might not be the best at what he does, but trying to suggest, assert, imply, or even outright accuse him of being the next Hitler is just plain idiotic mud-slinging.

Only proves my point. Doesn't mean a thing, and its almost as awful as comparing Obama to Hitler (though Vlad doesn't have the world's attention as the most hated guy ever).

-Like Hitler, Obama has an obvious distaste for the Jews, and sides with the Muslims every chance he gets.


Tell that to the world famous Muslim Bin Laden. Oh wait, you can't, Obama had him killed.

As for the Bush vs Vlad thing, more of the same sort of bunk written from a different POV.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

despite the lack of credibilty by comparing hitler to obama, it is really really sad that you have to attempt to resort to that.

There are intelligent things that could be said.

Comparing hitler to obama is not among them.

If it sounds like a Socialist and looks like a Socialist and smells like a Socialist, it must be a Socialist.

Obama, among other things, is a Socialist.
With a very devious agenda.
