FAIL. You really think he’s gonna take care of anybody? Seriously, Obama give two shits about you or your family. Get off your high horse and open your eyes, all he’s doing is opening the door for the Muslim extremests, why support someone who terrorists have endorced and prayed to Allah to be president. I’m joining Johnny Depp in France.

At the very least the rest of the world won’t be as scared of America under Pres. Obama as they have been for the past 60 years. We might actually go 4 years without invading or bombing anyone.

I think you need to do a little more research on what the requirements are for being a U.S. citizen. And FYI, the laws weren’t changed for McCain.

That image is Photoshopped! I a picture very similar to it back in the 1930s in Germany. They just translated the “Deutschland Erwache” signs into English, i.e., “Hope and Change”.

After all I’ve read, I have no idea what is going to happen in the next four years. Obama has his faults. So did McCain. Honestly I’m not sure how Obama is going to perform, after some of his gaffes. Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever read about a candidate who inspired 100% confidence.

Right now, all I want to see is the US getting back on track.

I’m a freaking Canadian, and you know what? I hope, too. Good luck to you, Obama, and good luck to the citizens of the USA. I don’t know where you’re going, but I hope you’re going somewhere good.

HE WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT! Most of the world can see that. Have you seen the reaction around the world? There’s no reputing that. Obama is right for the world and the world knows it.

Bush never inspired anyone to tears (well maybe except cause tears.)

The beauty of Obama’s soul is overwhelming. If you can’t see that, I feel sorry for you.

No, then it will be BO’s fault.

that is good information. thank you for the enlightenment. i was given that little article cut out of a newspaper and have hung on to it for some time now. i did not do any research deeper than discussions with friends and family. was not trying to make enemies just putting info out there. aerostotle (sp?) and plato were around waaaaay before tyler. and after reading into this subject with help from you i see that he, tyler, did rip this idea from the aforementioned men.

A “pretty good country?” Pretty good? It’s an amazing country! Hey, just because I didn’t vote for the guy doesn’t mean I’m not happy with the US. Just the fact that we always have a peaceful transfer of power is a wonderful thing. I’m proud of our country and always have been. We are far from perfect, our history is as messy as anyone else’s. But we grow and learn and change. We always have.

I don’t really place hope in my government any more than I’d place hope in the stock market. My hope lies in a completely different place. What comes will come. The majority voted for Obama. Great. God bless him and we’ll see how he does.

BU$HCO presided over the large re-distribution of wealth towards the wealthiest 10% of the population in this nation’s history. The global economy is in ruins and the war contractors and gas companies post their highest profits ever. This situation absolutely has to be corrected. If that makes me a socialist, then I guess I’m a socialist.

He’s definitely going to have it tough and is going to have to make some decisions that may not make everyone happy. I hope he gets all the right support and reaches out to others besides just liberal Democrats. Maybe he could unite the country a little bit. It’s still a pretty good country even with all the problems we are facing, don’t you think? Don’t lose hope!!

Lame. Tyler is directly ripping off Plato, and you don’t even know it. That’s just sad. Go look up “kyklos.” It’s in Plato’s “The Republic,” maybe you’ve heard of that?

AND he’s more White and Arab than Black!

He’s more “manufactured” than a Disney Boy Band!

He’s isn’t much more than a Infomercial type Product that you all bought for $19.95! Wait till you find out it doesn’t perform as advertised! HA HA HA! fools

If he was a socialist, I’d be okay with that. Since he’s not, I’m going to help try to steer him a little more to the left.

You guys think anyone to the left of Atilla the Hun is a marxist; seriously, it’s sad, but a little funny.

No double standard about it. People have been accusing Obama supporters of “drinking the Koolaid” for many months now on this site. Accusing McCain supporters is only a recent thing.

And yes, you do need to explain it, because it works just fine for much of the rest of the world.

Gonna take a lot more than a single decent President to restore my hope. In fact I doubt my hope and trust in this country will be restored in my lifetime. It’s just too daunting a problem for any one man to take on in 4 or 8 years. It’s a lot easier to break things than it is to fix them, and Bush had 8 years to break things, and many believe Clinton broke quite a few things too in his 8 years.

Obama isn’t going to fix it in 4 or 8, even if he does his best to come through on every promise, whicih is unlikely. (No President ever does half of what they said they were gonna do.)

What the heck? Aww man, I’ll miss you. You kept me on my toes, like all the good and principled conservatives here. It has been a true pleasure. At our best here at PK, we are living the dream our forefathers had for America, average citizens discussing how our country should be run in a free and open forum. At our worst, we are apes flinging poop, but that really wouldn’t have shocked them. I think the fact that we have managed to carve out a niche of civility in an anonymous political forum, open to all, would make them proud.
–
On a personal note, to all the conservatives who choose to some here and debate in what is obviously not a right wing echo chamber, kudos. Dissension and disagreement are good for us, as individuals and as a country. Our ideas and philosophies should always be honed through rigorous and public debate. Thank you for that opportunity, Eddie.

a quote from prof. alexander tyler in “cycle of democracy” from 1770. -”A democracy cannot exist as a permanant form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury.
The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back again to bondage.”
Strong words from a man who wrote this before this country was even officially founded…..

In his speech last night, though, Obama said it would take more than one term to accomplish everything we want to achieve. He is being honest with the people – change doesn’t come easy, and we will all have to make sacrifices. It’s better than politicians who play to that “NOWNOWNOW” mentality you’re describing.

Eddie, you’re one of the smartest men alive, and from what Ive seen here the MILITARY was lucky to have you. They had a powerhouse they should have never
let go. I enjoyed locking horns and exchanging one liners on more than one occasion.
Stay true, stay classy, and stay away from DWN’s wang. Its better that way. And on behalf of The Failcop, all citations are forgiven and expunged from your record.
Perhaps one day… you’ll join us in the service here?

Maybe if you actually listened to his speech last night you would know that he knows that as well. He knows he can’t change things over night and even referenced not being able to do it in one term.
