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.

Timmy,
I’m sorry that you hate Michelle and Barack.
Timmy J. Rooter – for crying out loud, get over it. She made a mistake – not everyone can be as damn perfect as you are. Your message is getting OLD.
Are you sorry? Or are you really sorry? See, it has a diffferent meaning when you put really in front of it. Really!
Ah geez… actually I was thinking the same thing about anyone and everyone (and there are thousands of comments in blogs today about this one line from her speech) who has been offended by what she said. All the same to just ignore her point and bash her and Barack because they don’t like them.
She should’ve chose a better wording no one, especially her, is perfect. So why are so many people worked up about this?
Steam,
They are worked up because they can find anything else on the Man or his wife. Simple as that. They wish their candidates could inspire the way Obama can, in fact I’m willing to wager if McCain could get everyone as fired up as Obama there’d be a completely different message on these blogs. I’ve watched the majority of debates which Obama has participated in, I do believe McCain will be outclassed against him.
Mark,
Where to begin with this silly garbage of yours?
1. You deliberately quote Mrs. Obama out of context. Print the whole paragraph and the meaning becomes clearer. For someone who routinely complains about misquoting and media bias, why don’t you try to practice what you preach?
2. You supported GWB for 8 years, through a whole mulitude of idiotic comments, flubbed speeches, and ‘accidental’ misstatements. Through all of that, you’ve maintained that GWB is a great President. Again, why not show some consistency and grant Mr. Obama that the possible flubbing of a speech by his wife doesn’t necessarily reflect poorly on his ability to lead our country?
3. Your last comment about Mrs. Obama being a loose cannon is eerily familiar of the Republicans’ treatment of Mrs. Clinton when Bill was running for President. We get it that you don’t like your First Ladies to show any independent thought, I understand that you probably have some deep-rooted angst against women in general, but this is the 21st century: grow up.
4. Really? Democrats don’t even have a nominee and your party’s noise machine is already resorting to this petty bullsh*t? Is that all you got? Man, we are gonna kick your elephant butt all over the place in November.
Obama is just another evangelical taliban figure who wants to impose his vision of an oppressive government in his zeal to be “my brothers keeper”.
And I thought liberals stood for the seperation of chuch and state.
SteaM,
A person involved in a Presidential campaign is always completely proud of the United States of America. Period. End of story.
Anyone who says otherwise is a fool – this is just raw politics, SteaM – and your St Obama is going to find out that its not as easy as it seems.
SAR,
And if a GOP candidate were a member of a church which wanted to advance “white values”, just how would you view that candidate?
Be honest – you know full well you’d call him a racist and demand he be drummed out of American political life.
You can’t have it both ways; either Obama subscribes to that church’s teachings – which would make him a racist and an anti-Semite – or he doesn’t, in which case he should withdraw from that church and publically denounce what it believes.
Phil,
I always have a nice day – I do wonder, though, why you don’t.
Hmn..plainj.. usually comes right after, or close to CRight…just sayin’.
If those 2 should get to the WH, we are going to get another 2 for 1 deal…
Miz Snarl stalking the corridors of power!!!
Mark,
Your dodging my point sir, how are ‘black’ values any different than ‘white’ values? Our parents instill values in us, so for Hillary I’m just wondering would you say she’s for ‘mom’s’ values over ‘dad’s’?
Any politician can be a member of any church, I’m fine by it, I may not agree with it, but it is their right as long as the candidate does not make political speech’s from the church which contributes to their campaign. Where I have the problem is when their beliefs start interfering with policy.
Your fishing, and it’s consistently getting worse. Open your eyes, the winds are changing and pissing into them, well you know what happens when you do that.
Our parents instill values in us
SAR,
And values are not a matter of “race,” “mom’s” or “dad’s”. But about Christian Conservative Values as opposed to Liberal sinful lifestyles.
–Jeremiah–
SAR,
Which is your mom and dad? Christian Conservative or Liberal sinful?
–Jeremiah–
Jeremiah,
I’d go with a third option, Open Minded Tolerance. you should try it sometime.
SAR,
I’d like to be more flexible on the issues, but there’s just too much at stake for America.
It’s really got me concerned. Especially with our borders…and it’s Barack Obama that’s got me very concerned, with him as our next President, I fear that our borders are going to be open to every Nation, which means opportunities for terrorists from every side to get in. He’s already making plans with the Arab nations in Africa Thousands of Muslims will influx and they will be here just waiting for their opportunity to strike.
Listen, friends, peace talks aren’t going to happen, because they don’t want to talk.
–Jeremiah–
Jeremiah,
If someone wants to get into a country, they will. Nothing short of closing the borders completely will stop them. Also, the majority of illegals in the US came there Legally and just stayed. You are right there is a lot at stake, but it seems to me your ‘fear’ is clouding your judgment. Whereas Terrorism is not just the only thing threatening America right now. But like almost everyone here chooses to believe, the economy is fine and looking as if it will turn around. Even though gas prices just went up over $100 a barrel.
Jeremiah,
Your right about Obama’s big plans for Africa.

I think Bush has done more than enough to help all these countries around the world. Keep in mind it OUR tax money being spent. Entitlement programs and foreign aid is spending I think, really needs to be trimmed.
Some Assembly Required…
If black values are the same as white values, then why does that church feel the need to specify?
Obviously they believe there is some difference, even if you don’t.
You are right that they should be one and the same. Good values are good values, period. But that’s exactly what is troubling about Obama’s church… the fact that they do differentiate, that they do draw a racial line and are trying to promote only one side of that line. I thought we were supposed to be beyond such things in this country… isn’t that what the Civil Rights Movement was about? Wasn’t that Martin Luthor (sp?) King, Jr.’s dream… that a person’s character would be more important than the color of their skin?
Jeremiah-
When you look at a candidates 2nd Amendment stance, you can see right into the soul of that person, and how they will vote on many other issues. Someone that feels the need for heavy government regulation on guns will be the same one that will over regulate small business, big business, and get into your personal life with transfat bans, spanking the kid bans, and then, They need funds to enforce all this great stuff. So a guy that takes the risk and opens a business, or invests into the market, who may suffer a great loss if things don’t go as planned (no help from anyone when your here). However if he is successful, he just made some new friends and government will be there making sure to take their share of HIS profits.
With more and more layers of government, and more and more entitlement programs, and foreign aid. Tax payers, small and big business are some of the biggest contributors at the U.S Treasury and more burden will be on them to pay for all they new programs. All these colleges kids, who really haven’t experianced tax hikes driving up your mortgage payment, and all kinds of other realities that a young kid don’t know about in life yet. Are blinded by Obama’s charm that the lib media propped up the Oprah.
I think change running against, more of the same. Change will win. I noticed more young people and Black Republicans are with the Mike Huckabee team. Maybe it would be a good time for Fox and all the media to stop trashin him and take a look the “Change” platform he has, McCain is so far ahead it can’t really hurt him.
(obama has been stealin some of Mike’s lines and ideas lately)
I’d hate to see Obama win with GOP ideas.

LNC,
I agree with you that it is troubling that the church chooses to define values in such a racial manner. But i also believe a person’s character should be more important than the faith in which they belong. Millions of people are Muslims and millions are Christians, yet only few by comparison are extremist. To imply Obama will manipulate the country for ‘black’ people at the cost of everyone else is slanderous.
I can be a Rep. but vote Dem. or vice versa. Just because I’m a member of a party, club, church, etc. does not mean I go along with everything that organization does.
I mean Bush has advisor’s who are Evangelical Christians who believe the earth was created 6000 years ago and theres no such thing as science. Again I have no problem with this, they may believe what they want and aspire to high positions of government. However I have a big problem if one starts changing policy because of teachings in their faith, or tries to convert everyone to that said faith.
Cheers
Funny, when you describe the liberals, you are simply projecting your paranoia and hate onto them. You are a gem Mark, so utterly lacking in self knowledge and pumped up on self righteousness that you can seriously believe the stuff you say because you have no sense of irony. It’s humorous on a personal level, but when people like you get your hands on big enough weapons, it isn’t funny anymore.
IN other words:
“Cons live in a very small, very dark alternate universe – peopled with devils called “socialists”, “teachers unions”, “Big Government” and “jihadists” and crave a chance to shoot the bad guy down in self defense”
However I have a big problem if one starts changing policy because of teachings in their faith, or tries to convert everyone to that said faith.
That’s what disturbs me so much about Liberals, and I mean it really burns me…if you Liberals only understood how important Christianity is, and how it has shaped America, how the Constitution stems from other documents of Christian based orthodoxy.
It is really monstrously scary how Liberalism has changed our way of Education, our VERY way of LIFE, and how the teachers are turning children against Christianity in general.
What a shame!

America is in trouble!

Jeremiah,
I refuse to get into a debate with you about religion. It is ultimately pointless. You will believe what you want and I will believe what I want regardless what points are made. Furthermore we each have a right to believe what we will and I respect yours.
Cheers
