LyraM45 0 #51 October 20, 2013 RonD1120You post the same rant over and over. Allow me to refocus your viewpoint. Explain in your own words how the BHO administration has united the country and in what ways we will be a better nation at the end on 2016.

NewGuy2005 53 #52 October 20, 2013 RonD1120 Let me restate, how has the BHO administration united the country? He has not and I don't expect him to, but that does not mean there will be anarchy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,452 #56 October 21, 2013 Interesting. Since many people said they despised Clinton because of his womanizing and lying to Congress about it, I'm thinking that was maybe just an excuse now. Since it'd be really hard to say the same about Obama, no matter what you think of his political skills or ideology.

The real root of every leaders disapproval is that they are in a job that the disapprover 'thinks' {s}he can do much better. As demonstrated by the Keyboard Five Star Generals on here during the Bush Admin, as an example? I think that once you find a major objection to a person for whatever reason, that you tend to look even closer and find other things you don't like. Very similar to the reasons people end up divorced. But all of this is besides the point. My original comment was to one of the extreme left wingers on here who tried to suggest the reason some disapprove of Obama has to do with the color of his skin.

Except in this case, there was a lawsuit filed over the legality of the first lady conducting secret meetings. Which was initially won and later overturned. So don't try and claim they never happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not disagree that there are always going to be some who judge people based on race. Just like there are some who cannot accept that some people live faith based lives. The person I responded to is claiming that race is the driving factor in the disapproval of Obama. I have many friends who disapprove of him and I do not hang out with racists. I find them repugnant.

Stumpy 284 #67 October 21, 2013 Gravitymaster Just like there are some who cannot accept that some people live faith based lives. Interesting point actually. I think the militant atheists are as bad as the over the top (insert chosen religion here) Take Dawkins for example - extremely good evolutionary biologist and writer about the same, however it gets lost in his loony ranting about atheism. Any religion (and I include hardcore atheism in this) is by its very nature exclusionist. And that's fine, except when those people try to make up faith based rules that govern a country.Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
