Now it Gets Ugly

[Count Steeler]

Americans are confused. I realize that’s probably the understatement of the year, but I am referring not to the apparent insensibility of those who continue to support President Barack Obama, but to the perplexed state of those who are attempting to make sense out of the election outcome itself, as well as events that have taken place since. In short, it is mind-boggling that the man was re-elected considering the shape America is in, and his being the most dismal record of any President in American history.


The craven but successful ploy on the part of the administration to defer addressing the issue of Benghazigate until after the election is evident, unless one is a consumer of the establishment press (mainstream media). The American public is being encouraged to focus upon the romantic dalliances of fallen CIA Director General David Petraeus with a predatory publicity hound, and obscure emails between an ugly Middle Eastern-American socialite, the publicity hound, and another general. This, I suppose, would be in lieu of focusing upon the effluvia of lies being fire-hosed from the mouths of President Obama and his administration vis-à-vis the events of September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya.

These deceptions have been so blatant and so outlandish that I can only describe them as surreal. At House and Senate intelligence committee hearings this week, intelligence officials ostensibly tried to explain their deportment on September 11 as regards the reported pleas for aid leading up to and through the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. Meanwhile – with help in distraction from the press – the administration continues to purvey contradicting accounts of whether or not aid was requested by slain Ambassador Christopher Stevens and CIA operatives, while at the same time attempting to clarify that very matter.

It also looks like the President is willing to sink the financial markets in his grand scheme to implement his socialist policies. The U.S. will be more Marxist than Russia.

Not so mind- boggling when you consider who he was running against. Romney was about as "presidential" as Paul Tsongas.

There's no point in complaining about Obama's dismal record at this point IMO. He can't be un- elected and we're stuck with him. What you can do is help make sure that the Republicans provide a clearly defined alternative, articulate it well, and promote candidates who walk the talk.

Clearly defined alternatives do not matter as long as the majority think they are suckling off America's teat and the evil greedy rich are paying for it.

Throw in the rate of population growth of minorities who vote liberal by a landslide and it does not take a rocket scientist to realize this country is toast.

Setting aside whether or not I agree with this, if this is your opinion... why bother commenting? For that matter, why waste your time paying any attention to politics at all?

Point in fact, I don't happen to agree with you. I think you've just been fooled by 1) the media and 2) the folks around you who have been fooled by the media into believing that the prevailing attitudes in this country are different than they actually are.

Simply to point out your ignorance. If you don't like posts that contradict your la-la land views put me on ignore.

[GoSlash27]

That seems a little hostile.

All I'm saying is
1) that if it's your opinion that the country is screwed and there's no hope of saving it, then why would you bother to pay attention to it or bother commenting on it? Doesn't make much sense.
and 2) I don't happen to share your opinion.

Neither one of my points is personally directed at you, so I don't know why you're getting defensive.

what majority are sucking off americas teat?? The teat of what?? I keep hearing this but i dont understand it? Are people saying that the majority of america is living off the goverment and the rich people are funding it? Three-quarters of entitlement benefits written into law in the United States go toward the elderly or disabled. That garbage about americans living off the goverment and wanting to live off the goverment is a scare tatic used by the media to make you think your country is going down in flames and the only way to save it is vote republican.

Of course, in order for this to be true, the media would have to have a pro- Republican bias. Anybody buyin' that one?

If they did do you think hopey would be coward n chief today?

[GBMelBlount]

We will be at 20 trillion deficit here before too long and the debt is unsustainable thanks to the liberal politicians and their tit sucking constituents who don't give a shit.

Put your thinking cap on.

We've been friends for how long now? 4 or 5 years?

Occasional snark should be allowed.
