I've never considered 'Yank' to have any negative connotations, and used it to describe myself on occasion. But what do I know I'm an educated, left-leaning urban Northerners (who voted for Reagan and likes guns). I bow to the wisdom of the high school drop out, right-wing cracker who tells me 'Yank' is an insult.

(smuttleydfs @ Nov. 05 2008,18:11) Joe McCarthy Lives and has assumed the pseudonym of Swedeman007!!!!

Amazing? or Pathetic?

I choose the latter.

Pathetic enough to go to a white supremacist website and cut and paste a bunch of far reaching garbage is truly pathetic.

Please Joe the Swedeman McCarthy provide your sources to this monumental information that really truly could have capsized this election far in favor of the right instead of the token black man sweeping twice as many electoral votes as his opponent.
Please provide them so we can send them to the CIA, the FBI, and every other acronyms in governmental security positions so we can keep this scurrilous rascal from assuming the most powerful position in the world!!!!!

Please save us Joe the Swedeman McCarthy before its too late and Mr Obama has 747s flying into the cities throughout America...........

I beseech you Joe the Swedeman McCarthy we need you now!!!!!

Shit, I need to read this thread.

This information is posted all over the web and not only on a so called "white supremacist" site.

Regardless of where the information came from it does provide some food for thought.

That Obama's biography touches so frequently on such unsavory organizations as CAIR and the Nation of Islam should give pause and cause some to think a little. How many of the politicians in the US have a single tie to either group? That number is less than seven of them?

The fact is that Obama has longstanding and indirect ties to these two institutions. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the U.S. government in 2007 as an un-indicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding trial; and the Nation of Islam (NoI), condemned by the Anti-Defamation League for its "consistent record of racism and anti-Semitism." This information is not from a so called "white supremacist" site.

I am far from pathetic, but instead just a person who is concerned about the future security of the USA and the well being of its citizens.

Its all good Snick! I just thought the "yank" comment was a setup for me to get the old "pacman" treatment. Two lumps and thick stick upside my head.

(jaymee @ Nov. 04 2008,23:19) I'm disappointed that the thirst for socialism has truimphed.

The irony of it all bugs me with China emerging from a dark era of socialism into capatilistic endevours - with the US inversely backwarding itself into an age of socialistic government. Alas, how the tides of power has changed.

McCain to me was the lesser of two evils - he would have probably bungled things up.

Not so badly though like Obama I think... who may screw things up in a bigger scale by virtue of his "good intentions."

Where are they going to get the money needed to fund federal intiatives to "help the people".

Well Obama is the man who would likely tax to death the dying breed of US industrial and technological leaders who are the saving grace of the US economy, due to their unfortunate association with the Wall Street folks.

Its quite sad that the very icons of capitalism (not the robbers from wall street) who can bring US out from these shambolic disasters would be punished financially to spread the wealth around the masses.

If these taxes are not enough, he could just print and borrow more money from China, middle east, japan etc. If they refuse, just nuke em And also restart the GM, Ford, and Chrysler factories again to build tanks and fighter jets for the entire initiative.

The short term satiation for the masses may be edifying - with the balm of federal entitlements providing fleeting relief.

The pain down the path though will undoubtedly emerge, when the very same entitlements buy them nothing, as the US dollar gets destroyed in the process.

The gift of USD $1000 bucks may buy them some LCD TV now, but may not even buy a loaf a bread down the road. But short term gratification is too attractive an offer to refuse.

People who are clearly unequal, do not deserve equal chances.

Socialism has triumphed? What's worse; feeding the hungry and clothing the naked or feeding global corporate claws at the tune of $700 billion? Don't let that razor Rockefeller in a nice suit get into your pants, let alone your head. That's the Bush Doctrine.

Where will the money come from? Maybe from stopping a war that has put us trillions in debt? Maybe from a corporation like Exxon that posts new records every quarter; thanks to Republican's greasy palms.

I can't even reply to the rest of what you wrote, it is such a rant. I will leave you with this, and maybe some of that:

"The gift of USD $1000 bucks may buy them some LCD TV now, but may not even buy a loaf a bread down the road. But short term gratification is too attractive an offer to refuse."

Agreed, give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats forever.

BUT...this is just warped.

"People who are clearly unequal, do not deserve equal chances."

Who are you to judge what is unequal? Can you install an engine in a 1968 Volkswagon? Can you unclog my toilet? Can you neuter my dog?

Obama showed he was a great communicator.
Obama had the discipline to remain €œon message€ throughout the campaign.
Obama remained outwardly calm under pressure, whatever was thrown at him.
Obama picked people to manage his campaign superbly.
Obama energized the youth of America in a way not seen before, even in the sixties.
Obama overcame the obstacles of race and colour.
Obama€™s election night speech showed humility, warned of the dangers ahead, and tried to lower expectations.

Provided that Obama is spared from assassination, I believe, despite his inexperience, but based on the management of his campaign, that he will pick people of talent across the spectrum to manage the country and, using his communication skills, over the next 8 years, he will restore America€™s pride in itself and restore the position of America with America€™s natural allies (and its enemies).

Obama will turn out to be only slightly left of centre; he will not back-track on free-trade or turn America isolationist and he will, through his communication skills, lead America forward.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

This is the hour, Obama is The Man.

...new information further confirming Obama's Muslim childhood such as the Indonesian school registration listing him as Muslim...

If you check out my school registration I'm listed as 'Church of England.' Everyone who knows me knows full well what I think about that cunt God and his pixies in the sky!

Dragging up this stuff sounds pretty desperate to me.

Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world, something like 95% Muslim, 5% Catholic.

When in Rome...

[swedeman007]

....do as the Romans do.

And when in LOS......Do the LBs!!!

I've seen it myself in old school records where they obviously just ticked each box the same as they went down the page.

My own family has been ticked as one religion like all the others on a page when I know they were something else.

RR.

[swedeman007]

In my case they ticked off the "Church of Joe McCarthy"

I'm more worried about some members of congress who are further to the left, but hopefully they will be tempered.

thank God the American electorate wasn't fooled by scaremongering tactics and bandying about  of words like socialism (which isn't a disease, you know?) or terrorist or Muslim (if he were a muslim, so what? - millions of americans are)

Does anyone here honestly think Barack Obama has sympathies with any terrorist organisation? That he would jeopardise American security (how many thousands of Americans have died because Bush wanted to kill the guy in Iraq who called his daddy names?)? That he is not a patriotic American?  Can anybody here put their hand on their heart and honestly say they believe this?

It's too late for the haters - the tactics of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt have failed!

Bravo! Standing ovation.
