No matter how much hope Obama generates, miserable, self-absorbed liberals who always look on the dark side of life will, well, always lack real hope – via Victor Davis Hanson over at NRO’s The Corner:
Re: “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.” — Michelle Obama
I wrote not long ago that Michelle Obama is a loose cannon, and I fear that her latest is not her last. I would have thought that two Ivy-League degrees, a joint income of about a million dollars, exclusive private schools for the kids, and a nice home in the suburbs were not so bad and might suggest that hope had made a comeback well before Barack’s presidential run.
Were Democrats fleeing the self-absorption of the Billary power couple of two Yale-educated lawyers — only to embrace the self-absorption of a power-couple of two Harvard-educated lawyers? Or was it a Yale versus Harvard Law School intramural thing all along?
Liberals live in a very small, very dark alternate universe – peopled with devils called “Christians”, “capitalists”, “Republicans” and “conservatives” who are always out to get them and destroy the world. Bravely they stand against this, but it is mostly a stance of despair – but, sometimes, a bright light breaks through…no, not the light of God Almighty; not even the light of a saint, such as Mother Theresa…but the light of a slick-talking political hack who just says the right things in the right tone of voice.
Pathetic. And Hanson is right, Mrs. Obama is a loose cannon – and if they can’t talk some sense to her, she’s going to be a liability as bad as Theresa was for Kerry in 2004.
Eric T,
Yes, such a good man we have in Mike Huckabee with all the right credentials for America to set us on the course to fixing some major problems that we have, and all they want to do is trash him.
Trash, trash, trash, trash.
And you’re absolutely right about Obama, these teenage college children haven’t the slightest idea, because their teachers have got them so wrapped up in the Liberal indoctrination that they’re blind before they even set out. They’re intoxicated. You see all these young women fainting at his speeches. He is such a fake it’s unreal.
I hope soon when America will get over their drunken spell, and start thinking about reality.

you are really upset that those college kids aren’t indoctrinated to think like you. Lacking in any self knowledge and intellectual integrity, you are projecting your attitudes onto people you know nothing about. It seems like you really don’t deal with real people, only the strawmen that you have been indoctrinated to believe run things., the dreaded liberal conspiracy.
Being Jewish myself, I am not very receptive to your paranoia about teachers who indoctrinate their kids to hate Christianity. Your self pity is monstrous. Also being Jewish, I have to live with the fact that there are plenty of real people who hate me just for being Jewish and who wish all Jews dead, and these people have tormented me personally in my life when I was younger. Yet I don’t go around with a chip on my shoulder like you do. Most of those people were total losers anyways.
If anything, teachers are trained to avoid religion and are castigated for either promoting or denigrating any faith. Since I have taught in a few public schools, I know what I am talking about. You, however , seem to live in a world where everyone who doesn’t think like you is some liberal enemy.
MorrisMajor,
Hey, can’t make America change the tide against Liberalism, but I can sure express my opinion, and my concern. If you don’t believe me and want to know the truth about Education and what Liberalism is doing to our classrooms, read Judge Bork’s book, Slouching Towards Gomorrah – that book gives you just a brief incite since ’96 a little over a decade, and in the decade, Liberalism has moved drastically toward Socialism. With 52% of the ppl. dependent on the government now…it’s not an overestimation to assume that the other 48% will be… should Obama get elected to the Oath of Office. Stalin all over again.
seem to live in a world where everyone who doesn’t think like you is some liberal enemy.
Hey, I fully acknowledge that not everyone is a hard-line Liberal of today’s modern standards. Yes, there are some good Independents, but I’m going to be shy about assuming “good Democrats” but yes also, in that there are some folk who are registered Democrats that vote predominantly for Christian Conservative Values, I know many. But the fact is, that’s not a good thing, because how you’re registered affects the system just as much as how you would vote IMHO. However, overall, how people vote gives you a better idea of how the majority is thinking, and over the years, they have consistently shown more trend towards immoral principles. Not a good thing; likewise, this being the case, and the Head Honchos on the left vying for power, given their trends toward Socialism, we’re looking at some very troubled times ahead…
But hey … what can I do to change their mind and switch the tide back toward a more decent, moral, and God-fearing example in the world…?
If I hold a chip, friend, it is a chip of love for America…and my concern for the future of this great country.

“should Obama get elected to the Oath of Office. Stalin all over again.”
Jeremiah,
Socialism (‘Obama’, Canada, England, France) is a completely different system than Communism (Stalin, former USSR). Socialism incorporates elements of both capitalism and communism into a working model that is working extremely well for the majority of the world.
To even compare Obama to Stalin is ludacris. When has he murder thousands of people?
Some Assembly Required…
You just don’t belong to a church whose basic tenets you do not believe in. By belonging to that particular church, he is saying that those are his beliefs.
It’s not the same as associating with someone, whose beliefs could be similar in some ways, or vastly different from yours. Bush may very well have people who advise him in some capacity that hold strange beliefs, but as far as I know, he does not BELONG to a congregation that states as their core precepts that they believe that the Earth is exactly 6000 years old and all science is false.
LNC,
I understand what your saying, but since he publicly announces he is a member of this church and the values are as racial as what they are, would it not hold true that this would be reflected in the policies he puts forth. Again anyone person can belong to a certain church and their values, but it does not mean they will do anything necessary to further those values. It is possible for one to believe but not preach their beliefs.
When one becomes president of the US they take an oath which places the American people above themselves or any set of beliefs they may have. This has been undermined by Bush.
Oh, and No, Bush does not belong to any such congregation that I know of either. I just know some of his advisor’s do.
Jeremiah posted this yesterday-
God being rejected in our schools….?
The Florida State Board of Education is getting ready to make some major changes to their school curriculum standards. There will be 18 new changes, and one of those 18 will affect Education in a profound or lack thereof in a negative way. Evolutionists are demanding that evolution be taught as “fact” and that God and Creationism be ruled out…
What say you?
Out of 30 answers I received, one really touched my heart…here’s what she said…
Americans don’t want prayer in school….
Americans don’t want God on their money….
Americans don’t want “Under God” in their pledge…
Americans don’t want the Ten commandments in public…
Americans don’t want any Christian symbols in public
Now we wonder why we have shootings in schools?
We eliminate God from our schools and public places, and we cry out “God Bless our Nation”? Honestly, what have we given Him to bless. So, if you take out creationism, because it has to do with God, then what are you going to replace it with. Florida has some screwed up laws anyway, it is only a matter of time. This will be a battle that will carry on until His return. Let me put it to you this way, we are fighting a spiritual battle all the time.

I think the part about liberalism that makes no sense is. GOD is a generic term. On the coin or in the pledge, The church + state issue might be a case If it said Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ,
but GOD could mean anything to different folks, to some folks God is money, power, sex, the sun,moon.
It just boils down to mind control and tryanny, and that the democrats want to have religion removed, just like in China or Soviet Union.
Religion gives a person a sense of right and wrong, teaches people to be honest, value life, I don’t see why it is so hated.
“Religion gives a person a sense of right and wrong, teaches people to be honest, value life,”
I thought it was parents that did this?!?!
My view on why religion is so hated is because ever since human beings have believed in one god or another they have been killing in the name of their God. The ironic this is while doing so they contend to have moral superiority.
But killing is ok as long as you ask forgiveness.
Thats right, and if you martyr yourself you receive 46 virgins.
You people are all stupid.
Religion is only a problem when it is pushed on other people. No one knows, or can know the truth about religion because it’s all up to interpretation.
I think it’s all BS too, but that’s just my opinion.
Public Policy should be based on secular values. If you value freedom then there’s no other alternative; unless the only freedom you value is your own, and you think everyone should have only the freedoms you agree with.
And why is terrorism only a problem now that it’s been done by muslim extremists? Where were you neocons and Conservative Christians when Tim McVeigh blew up that building in Oklahoma?
You people are all stupid and afraid.
The only thing you’ve gotten almost right is saying freedom isn’t free. That’s true, but you’re dead wrong on the price. THe price is risk. The risk that someone else will use their freedoms to kill you. You’ve just got to use your freedoms to make them not want to… i.e. don’t be a dick.
CR,
Have you ever watched the documentary ‘Jesus Camp’? I kept asking myself how someone could possibly vote for bush in 2004 until I saw this.
Though I do agree with what you said about freedom I would like to add that the colour of freedom is green.
Cheers
I think freedom of religion is important. The problem with liberals is they want to get rid of religion. And go with one set of beliefs for everyone. The doctrine they teach can’t easily be proved so there is an element of faith, you have to have in it. but since you public school kids been hearing it your whole life, you take it for truth. Because that is what you were taught, just like the religious folks.
What you were taught
1. We desended from monkeys.
2. We have to save the world from global warming.
Anything different from this is not acceptable to the extremist liberal. I work outside, all week it has been below zero. If evolution was right their would not be any monkeys left. They would have all evolved into humans, and be computer programmers and doctors and lawyers. There is a missing link. Actually the DNC has a bunch of missin links. Wait, they are the missing links.
Trying to deny people the freedom of religion, is a trait of the Soviets, Red Chinese. I see attempts by liberal groups to remove a generic term like GOD, from every part of our society and it looks pretty similar to communism/mind control/ one belief/ one common good. We need keep freedom, FREEDOM. Once its gone you don’t get it back.
If evolution was right their would not be any monkeys left.
Thanks for stating your profound ignorance clearly. Like I’m constantly having to tell Noonan, if you guys weren’t so strenuously opposed to education, you wouldn’t make these very simple and avoidable (and embarrassing) mistakes.
Ok Tractus- An Amoeba grew something on it or something like that, lets here it.
Uhhh…what are you trying to say in that post, Eric?
