Still Don't Know Him

OldPilot 8 months ago

Another screech from Mr. Creech. He complains he does not "know" the President. Assuming he is not using the term "know" in the biblical sense where has Mr. Creech been for the past four years of the Obama presidency? Living under a rock with a bag over his head and earplugs? On the other hand he "knows" Romney and Ryan...hopefully not in the biblical sense or I fear for us all. Creech needs to recognize that Obama won the election and get over it, lest we have to suffer another four years of his screeching.

Then look at what he has done. I won't list it for you because you know what it is and are just too liberal to vote for anybody but a Democrat! If he gets another four it may put us beyond saving...and it'll be interesting to see if the loyal Dems will vote against him when it comes to the "stuff" he still has to do to this country.

Good letter Mr. Creech. Everyone knows exactly what your saying; although a few here will ridicule and deflect...but that is their chosen deceitful position in life. The worrisome part is our news media. For the most part they also have chosen a path to deflect and defend their chosen candidates and political positions; irregardless of any negative impact it may have on America. It's been that way for quite awhile, but there is little attempt to even hide it anymore. I have faith in America's people. My position is that I know TOO MUCH about President Obama and most of his administrative staff he has chosen. He does not seek professional guidance from any of them and they have none to offer. He seeks similar association and ideology and blind and silent followers. Many of those Americans we have faith in also have not been blind for the past four years. They want a positive, happy life for themselves and families. They want choices and personal liberties and they want jobs and professions. They want to leave their children and grandkids something other than that massive debt now tied to their future. You will see many very good and normally party loyal Democrats, of all colors and ethnicity's, temporarily depart ways on November 6th or sooner when confronted with which circle or box to darken in. They are good Americans who also want the same things for their families and Country as we do for ours....Mike

President Obama does not have the time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor to set down as the commander-in-chief with security specialists for his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) but DOES have the time to speak with pirates and comedians the past two days. Four Americans are murdered in Libya on 9/11, Israel is in constant threat and crisis, our President has not been attending the daily briefs on a regular schedule and he is about the only person stating that this Libyan incident was not a planned terrorist attack on the 11th anniversary of 9/11....and some above and most news channels push the idea that Americans are stupid and are going to continue to tolerate this behavior.

Courseaire, that "ONE" issue of CHOICE is a far reaching one. Basically being that WOMEN can have control of their OWN BODIES. Men and those WACKO Conservative women who go along with them, have never rerally likes women being FREE, and especially since Roe v. Wade. It has also been beyond evident these past two yrs when a whole bunch of TEA PARTY POOPERS were "Swept" into Congress and State Legislatures that their number one concern was to get women "back under their control." They've done NOTHING but try to take almost every LAW away from women and our RIGHTS that they can. They have cared about NOTHING else it seems. You CANNOT deny this Courseaire. My friend and I have the same LIBERAL SOCIAL beliefs but do differ and argue a bit about the money parts of our economy. She wants taxes lowered for everyone and I want them raised on the RICH.

So conservative women aren't permitted a choice? As I have said numerous times, I haven't attended church in years but I wonder what it says about our society that snuffing out a life is treated so routinely, its just another "choice". If its no big deal why not call your stance "pro abortion". Their is no greater illustration that modern liberalism defies any modicum of logic in that they are all for killing developing innocent human babies yet they will march in the cold and rain to spare the lives of the most heinous murderers. All the while they put forward the notion that those who oppose them are loony or whacko. I could never be a liberal, its just so devoid of logic. BTW, is there any poster on here who spews more vitriol and venom than Moon, all the while castigating the conservatives as hate mongers (of course without any actual examples).

For those who actively fight for the 'freedoms and choices' of abortion...I can understand your full support of President Obama as he was also in favor of the disposal of infants born alive while the mother waited for the procedure. His reasoning being that the mothers original intent was to have the child aborted. The whole concept is barbaric butchery, but to not care for an infant who tried to make an untimely arrival to this world has no adjectives to describe.

For those who do not care to view a little bit of what the end product of abortion is all about; you may not want to click onto the following website as it is very graphic. I believe the current number of 'legal' abortion in the United States of America since 1973 is at approximately 60 Million (60,000,000) ....Mike

Also I have to say at this crucial time in our history to decide your vote based on this issue seems a little bit misguided. I can think of at least 3 issues that are far bigger fish. I don't ever see Roe vs Wade getting overturned nor do I lose any sleep over it. I just like to call it like I see it and I see it as snuffing out a human life, particularly after it clearly has human characteristics and is capable of feeling pain. I really don't think that is a position worthy of the scathing commentary from our the presidents cheerleader in chief. But, as I said many times on here, I state my opinion without worrying about the lefts criticism. I attempt to be civil as much as possible. Thanks.

WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE. A lot of Conservatives are working at BREAKNECK speed to make sure that women are DENIED the RIGHT to consult with a physician regarding HER HEALTH.

In Colorado, Obama leads 50% to 45%

The Fox News poll has Obama up by 7 in the swing state of Ohio, up by 5 in Ohio.

Otherwise I don't give a damn if it's "your body" or not!! Abortion outside of a very strict set of circumstances should be illegal. Isn't it funny, Moonie, that all of y'all who are in favor of abortion are already born??? Isn't that just a hoot, girl??? And bear in mind that if you decide a couple of days after the baby is born that you really don't want that child and kill it the "authorities" will charge you with MURDER!! Wild ain't it?? You can kill it right up to the date of birth but AFTER THAT you just got to live with your bad decisions!

Stalin's banning of abortions was because of a fear of not having enough future communist to fill his ranks. It was not a moral issue as we here in America consider it.

Moonchild rants from a perspective that is uncaring, not only to the unborn child, but to the man who would be the father. Both should feel guilty. In my case, as a man, I do feel guilty. I am guilty. I could have stopped an abortion when i was young. My child. Not just the woman's child...my child as well. It was soooo easy to make a cowardly choice then. Nothing medical. Nope. Just pure selfishness. I was told not to worry about it...have a child later...carry on with your life. She would have had the child if I would have wanted it. These lies spewed by moonchild and millions like her are selfish and harmful. Today, I have no children.Murdered, legal or not...murdered. I will never believe the lies of liberals again. Selfish is the best word I have for a liberal. Liberal government makes bad decisions easy and normal. We are normalizing welfare now...have been for 4 generations. It should be a last resort.

Courseaire 8 months ago

Abortion is more a moral issue than a legal one. It's one the individual has to deal with, physically & emotionally. As sfpest stated, the law is not going to change regardless of who wins the election, so it's not an election issue. It's also not just a woman's issue, it's a father's issue and well as the baby's issue (who has no voice at the time it's killed, but sure speaks for many years afterwards). I think abortion is wrong and would hope that everyone would think the same - think of the baby, not just yourself.

Courseaire 8 months ago

As a Social Worker I DID NOT rationalize murder, hunger, homelessness, mental&physical illness, rape, incest, abuse, neglect, or perversion. When solving humanities problems rather than afixing some sort of MORALISTIC RELIGIOSITY or PATERNALISTIC CONTROL, ones prejudices, personal opinions or morals have NO PLACE in such situations because there would be constant turmoil. Within each of us after we have attempted to put forth the best solutions, then perhaps it is time to reflect and judge those answers we have chosen. To constantly call someone who worked with the huddled masses and their human needs, a baby killer, murderer, disgusting, and bizarre very troubling. Jesus is not okay with the sin but forgives the sinner and only requests for that person to reflect on what they have done with their lives. Where you see separate persons, I could only see the one person sitting in front of me who needed the help. I could not converse with an unborn entity and never tried to converse with such. I would have lost my job. You men need an intervetion. And as I've sadi many time, I DO NOT agree with all of President Obama's decision's but they've been less intrusive than will be less intrusive than what the Republicans plan. Get some help guys.

Speaking in terms of a Pied Piper, Dwight Creech is just that when preaching at CC. The government should re-examine the churches tax-free status (501 c 3). Anyone who attends his church must first denounce being a democrat and follow along blindly without having a voice or take ownership of a thought process.

What I know about Romney is he has millions stashed in off-shore accounts. Bain Capital arranged investment strategies in India and China where Bain investors could hedge against floundering US companies in the US.

All of these so-called coupon millionaires who are in the 47% will have a rude awakening should Romney get elected. Do some research on Romney and his son Tagg to get a better picture. If one works for a payday, you are not in his league of the 1% er's. His trickle down wealth will probably go off-shore with the jobs he sent to India....

Or Obama's new "For All" campaign, where supporters pledge allegiance to Obama, with their hands over their hearts and notes scribbled thereon to tell us "why" they pledge allegiance to Obama: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/09/pledging_to_obama_for_all.html. They post pictures of their support, with words like "justice,"peace," and "equity" written on the backs of their hand draped over their hearts. A wonderful gesture, and wholly American. I plan to join this festive event, and have my photo posted with my own explanation of why I support Obama...written in sharpie on the back of my hand: "Because I Was Kicked In The Head By A Mule." I hope Omama loves me. Cheers!

Dusty, in case you didn't know, AARP to seniors is Fox News to you - zero credibility regarding their supposed caring for seniors...

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81497.html?hp=l13

MC7, I don't try to make out that I'm anything special, but a Social Worker nowadays is someone with either a BSW or MSW, usually an MSW, which if licensed involves in depth systems education and at least 12-20 hours of continuing education requirements to keep current. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in the field for 30 years now.

Women's rights via a primary reliance on abortion is a crock. If we put half the effort spent defending abortion towards instead making concerted efforts to teach our girls from an early age to value themselves and think about goals and less about the idea these days that being attractive to a man is the goal, we would see some real change. But you are unable to strategically think about the problems going on these days.

Not quite. Liberals, bias or not, refuse to accept facts. By the way, what did you write on the back of your hand for Obama's "For All" pledge of allegiance to Obama? Please tell us.

Whoa, that whole reply up there unfairly reduces the stature of the buccaneers.

You know Thatcher, they really need to give credit where it is due with that hand pledge stuff - they stole that writing on hand thingy from Sarah Palin. Now that's a bi-partisan fact!

HAHAHAHAHAAAA! This from the party who's in deep denial about the fact that Obama's ahead nationally, and ahead in enough swing states to put him over the top in the Electoral College.

BTW< Thatcher? That blog post you linked to about "For All"? The basic premise is the lie...nowhere in the "For All" campaign does Obama ask anyone to pledge allegiance to him. Here's the actual request:

http://www.barackobama.com/news/entry/for-all

There’s a new way to show that you’re voting for someone who represents us all. Choose one of your reasons for voting and write it on your hand, then pledge to vote. You can share a photo on Twitter and Instagram with #ForAll. Check out some of the photos—you might even recognize a few of the faces.

I'm sure Thatcher will, once again, insist that the President said words he didn't say, aka "refusing to accept facts." Because Thatcher, is, sad to say, losing his mind over the fact that Romney's losing this election.

And did anyone else notice that the person who wrote the blog describes the author of the Pledge of Allegiance as a "Socialist?" When did the right start hating the Pledge of Allegiance?

deers!

Want an example of "facts" about what the president says and does, Dusty. I won't dig back several years as you do, here's one from a few days ago where President Obama lied and dodged about not keeping his campaign promises to Latinos. If you think I left anything out, here is where the full transcript can be found: http://historymusings.wordpress.com/2012/09/20/full-text-campaign-buzz-september-20-2012-president-barack-obamas-remarks-at-univision-town-hall-with-jorge-ramos-and-maria-elena-salinas/

Univision Town Hall:

Q Mr. President, I want to ask you something that is known as the “Obama promise,” and you knew that I was going to ask you about that. On May 28th, 2008, we had a conversation in Denver, Colorado, and you told me the following — and I’m going to quote you: “But I can guarantee that we will have, in the first year, an immigration bill that I strongly support.”

I want to emphasize “the first year.” At the beginning of your governing, you had control of both chambers of Congress, and yet you did not introduce immigration reform. And before I continue, I want for you to acknowledge that you did not keep your promise.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, let me first of all, Jorge, make a point that when we talked about immigration reform in the first year, that’s before the economy was on the verge of collapse — Lehman Brothers had collapsed, the stock market was collapsing. And so my first priority was making sure that we prevented us from going into a Great Depression...

And what I confess I did not expect — and so I’m happy to take responsibility for being naive here — is that Republicans who had previously supported comprehensive immigration reform — my opponent in 2008, who had been a champion of it and who attended these meetings — suddenly would walk away. That’s what I did not anticipate.

And as you know, Jorge, even though we controlled the House of Representatives, even though we had a majority in the Senate, the way the Senate operates was if you couldn’t get 60 votes you couldn’t get something moving. So we initiated the meetings, had a series of meetings. And what we could not get was a single Republican, including the 20 who had previously voted for comprehensive immigration reform, to step up and say, we will work with you to make this happen.

Q It was a promise, Mr. President. And I don’t want to — because this is very important, I don’t want to get you off the explanation. You promised that. And a promise is a promise. And with all due respect, you didn’t keep that promise.

(NOTE TOO: The promise was to INTRODUCE A BILL in the first year. A BILL was not even put out of the type he promised to see whether it could have passed, as occurred with Obama Care although they knew they would have to wheel and deal and not read parts...)

What is funny dusty is how you have been made to look like a fool, even having a few total meltdowns, for 4 years trying to defend a POTUS and his policies that you swore were destroying the country. Now you couldn't care less about the poor, deficits, wars, human rights, using end runs to get around Congress, lying, being hated around the world, gas prices etc. Everyone of the named things were things you hated about bush that are still the same today. And all that is without even mention of how poor a leader obama has proven to be. This is exactly why you and The Pilot are laughingstocks. Only really not too bright people totally ignore the issues and what THEY believe in and support a candidate because of his party affiliation.

If I happen to be wrong for a change, then I would expect columns from you and The Pilot defending the obama tax breaks for the rich. A column explaining how NCLB has turned our public schools around so there was no need for obama to take action. Maybe a column explaining how the national debt that was once going to destroy our country is not such an evil thing. I could go on but by now you have that sickening feeling in your stomach that only a hypocrite with no conscience gets every time he realizes how pathetically small he really is and how obvious it is to all those who know or know of him. The truth shouldn't hurt this much dusty!

"Because Thatcher, is, sad to say, losing his mind over the fact that Romney's losing this election." Sorry DR, but I have no idea how the election will turn out, and sadly, neither do you...although you think you do. Your bold predictions aside, even you have to laugh at the Obama supporters posting pictures of themselves, hand over heart, with silly buzzwords to show their allegiance to him. Too funny! Cheers!

Here's all one needs to know about the Republican Party. They just voted down a "Veterans Jobs Bill" yesterday. The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America have denounced the vote. There are over 770,000 unemployed Veterans, 220,000 who have served since 9/11/01. This a disgrace and actually sums up the past four yrs of what President Obama has been up against. It's amazing that he's been able to get done what he's done. Mitt Romney has also DISSED the elderly Americans who receive only Social Security and Medicare who are mostly Republicans. If you are one of those and still vote for him, well, you issues with thinking right. He'll want to grind you up and make solent green out of you next, since according to him you're a "VICTIM" and aren't worth anything. To nothingspecial; I was an "Old School" Social Worker having graduated from college (70's) before the more specialized BSW and MSW degrees were created. My curriculum courses consisted mostly of the Social Sciences. I came up thru the ranks so to speak having to learn the Food Stamp, Medicaid and AFDC Programs first. I was considered a "STREET SOCIAL WORKER". Many Social Workers today know very little about such things and I know because I had to "Train" a lot of those BSW and MSW's later on as they became more prominent. Many of them couldn't "HACK IT" and as soon as they had a little experience were on to the "Clinical World". In fact several of them got physically sick when with me as I "hit the streets" to do home visit after home visit, seeing my clients in REAL TIME in their REAL HOMES. Perhaps there are more of those "professionals" who do home visits instead of in the confines of a "Clinical Setting", I do not know because I have been "retired" for several yrs now. nothing special, I never came across a client who used abortion as a method of birth control. I made sure that my clients were seen by a physician to learn about better methods of birth control, I guess you have seen those that were using it as such. Perhaps they weren't learning anything from you; and when I did abortion counseling for those women who requested funding for it most chose NOT to have an abortion when my "lecturing" was complete. And I am a Pro Choice advocate. To those very ill name callers of me, you really are depressed, bitter and perverse. You have no concept of what a compassionate human being is and you lack any feelings for those of us who want to help and not judge.

Why don't you address the lie you just spread about that ad, Thatcher? I agree it looks a little silly, but you spread the lie that it's a pledge of allegiance to Obama, a lie written by a guy who calls the author of the Pledge of Allegiance a 'socialist.'

You've said, in so many words, that socialism is evil. Do you think we should stop saying the Pledge because the person who wrote it was a socialist? Or would you like to admit that you linked to a well-know right wing nutball with no credibility whatsoever because you're grasping at any straw you can? Bandoliers!

"But you are unable to strategically think about the problems going on these days." nothingspecial. what does that mean? I've been thinking pretty darn well for myself since I left the confines of my family's home at the age of 19. I've been on my own and have done very well, as in since 1972. Being strategic sounds "Clinical" though nothingspecial, remember I have "Street Smarts" and those strategies are rather BASIC. JD and mcgal, you guys are great. I just think your "photos" and captions, JD are so hilarious.

"are more than willing to keep making excuses for the big "o" simply because they worship at the altar of the PARTY"

Not only are some of you rude, but down right disgusting. The only alter I worship at is Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Southern Pines! What has happened to civil discourse and intellectual discussions? Like POTUS'O or not, there are over a million families who have benefited from his Affordable Health Care program.

Talk you crap to those families who have lost family due to pre-existing conditions, or children who couldn't get cancer treatments and passed due to no insurance or affordable insurance.

Stand in line at any medical practice and just watch the nicely dressed coupon millionaires whip out their Medicaid cards. But complain about a family purchasing food for their family using EBT card. What's the difference. I voted for Obama 4 years ago and I'll vote for him again. I'm an old country boy who can't identify with a person who earns 13.4 million from investments.

Here in Poorer County there are a lot of wannabe millionaires and are unable to think for themselves. The Party just like the Nazi party instructed their minions on how to act and how to vote.

You're so absolutely "on to them" Toda. They are a really unpleasant bunch of you-know-what's, aren't they? Are they capable of having any rational or intelligent thought patterns? Geoff, the tree cutter is supposeded to be intelligent. He used to write stories and have opinions, yet he says he can't understand a thing that I write. I guess he can't stand the truth.

MC7, there is a great big difference between being open minded and being ideologically liberal in your political leanings. I respectfully point out that I believe you quit being open minded back a few years ago and I think it is important to try to get that mindset back. We have big issues facing us these days and need to hold both parties accountable and use all our resources for help, including those of religious backgrounds and the "elders" among our baby boomer population. Being liberal or having been a social worker does not provide a life-long "certificate" that the person is now open minded and compassionate - that is a life-long walk, full of education, being teach-able, being able to recognize mis-steps, and giving it your best shot. Plenty of Republicans do a great job along that same walk.

Liberals have historically not thought strategically about systems they are effecting and third order effects when they propose "throwing money" at problems, while making very little effort to see how to prevent the problems in the first place. Or how those problems actually arose as a result of other failed policies. I'm sorry but it is not something I can teach you about in a comments section.

As for Social Work, your experience of course is very respected and necessary, but more and more protocols for providing assistance to others are being developed year by year as I'm sure you're aware to prevent the malpractice of working from expereince only.

DR-- I didn't spread any "lie" about the "ad." I posted a link, which had the actual ad itself. Here's how one of your left-wing buddies, Jessica Alba, put it: http://www.examiner.com/article/actress-jessica-alba-encourages-voters-to-pledge-allegiance-to-barack-obama. Hence the reason all those shown in the posted pictures have their hand over their hearts. To me, you try to split hairs, and say these supporters are only pledging "support," not "allegiance." I could pledge support for Romney without ever writing meaningless buzzwords on my hand and then placing my hand over my heart to be photographed. In fact, I've almost maxed out in financial support to Romney, but if his campaign asked me to scribble gibberish on my hand, place my hand over my heart, and then photograph myself, I'd tell them to get bent and give me my money back. Hope that helps. I'll answer your "socialist" question below. Cheers!

Thatcher 8 months ago

"You've said, in so many words, that socialism is evil." Incorrect. I've not used so many words...I've used three: Socialism is evil. And it is. Winston Churchill had it right: "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." I agree with Churchill's view, especially about it being "the gospel of envy." It is a governing system based upon envy, and in my view, envy is a sin. It has failed every time it has been tried, which is why so many European countries (hello Greece) will soon be bankrupt. And I happen to believe that my rights to liberty are given to me by God, not the government. No, I don't believe we should stop saying the Pledge because it was written by a socialist. The words in the Pledge are not socialist. Many socialists are great poets, musicians, etc. The fact that they can write stirring poems and music does not mean that socialism, as an economic model, can work. It has not, because it cannot (at least not for long...until the government runs out of other people's money). So that I'm clear, socialism-- as an economic model -- is evil. I do not judge individual socialists to be evil...that is not my job, and it is not my call to make. Hope that helps. Cheers!

To me, you try to split hairs, and say these supporters are only pledging "support," not "allegiance."

To me, I try to use words with their actual meanings, and hold people responsible only for the words they actually say.

But thanks for calling Jessica Alba my "buddy." Can you tell her? She won't return my phone calls.

Thatcher 8 months ago

DR, Jessica is on the phone with me right now...I'm trying to set her up with a liberal friend of mine. And as far as using words with actual meanings, you know I have trouble with words. Cheers!
