I very much doubt you really understand what that means, but at least your honest about your closed-minded-ness.

Oh, I make no pretense to any nifty neato post modern open mindedness and couldn’t care less what you doubt. That is the very poison that is being passed off as the American way. See that’s the elephant in the room this country has all but lost sight of. The United States was built on a foundation of uniquely American principles that the world was invited to come and join. We now accept the fatally erroneous view that that meant we were inviting them to bring their country with them instead of joining ours.
Even that’s only a symptom of the devastation of the American family where these things, among others, were once taught as a simple matter of course. We are rotting from the inside out while one of our political parties feeds the disease and the other is right on their heels which in turn is only a symptom of the citizens who put them there who now think people like me, who simply believe the core of this countries founding principles, are nuts.
Have no fear pal, you’re winning.
This has all culminated so far in a top down socialist, who IS the embodiment of what we fought the cold war to defeat being the overwhelming favorite of the starry eyed retards who now populate our institutes of alleged higher learning.

you don’t understand the intent of the post or why what you just said goes against what obama would do with your money. why don’t you think about it a bit. this thread may be too deap for you.

Obviously.
Welfare baby, huh? Let me guess, you like calling Obama, “Stalin” too. Or perhaps you’d prefer to say “Muslim”?
If by “big boy” you mean able to have an adult conversation where I don’t demonize those who think differently than I and without declaring pride in closed-mindedness, yeah, I guess I’m that.
If you’re foolish enough to think I’m on welfare, keep fishing.

You’re a riot. It sounds like you actually believe the BS coming out of your keyboard.
Yes yes, Bush is Hitler. Oh no, wait, that’s the other side. To agree with you I have to say Obama is Stalin, right?
I’m pretty sure Tiribulus has already told once that he don’t really give a shit what you think.
And why should he?
Does it make you feel like a big boy to be so cool? I’d probably try to act like a big boy if I were a DC welfare baby like you as well.

To be clear, I’ll listen to anybody, but in the instance of him saying he doubts I know the import of my statement that an Obama candidacy, not Omama himself, tells me much more about this countries future than foreign terrorists, I truly don’t give a shit what he doubts. That doesn’t mean I hate or even necessarily don’t like the guy, don’t know him.
However, when it comes to stuff like this I am unmoved by ANYBODY’S contrary opinions.
My views are 20 plus years in the making and entirely self realized. I’m a 10th grade dropout raised in a broken non political, semi Catholic home, retain just about nothing from my upbringing and have no education. Nobody told me what to think and nobody’s changing my mind. That’s not to say I’m beyond minor revision, but I have thought my ideology all the way through.

it is what you make of it. the story here is not about obama’s brother. it is about his fundemental beliefs. the fact that he would spend your money to help complete strangers but would not spend his own money to help flesh and blood. He has no obligation to help his brother and has no right to give my money to people that don’t have it neerly as rough as his own brother. You gettin it yet?

I thought you were against welfare and hand-outs.

From the recipient’s point of view, both are pretty similar. Welfare has a steadier schedule, but that’s about all.
I’m wondering what happened to the “why doesn’t he just get a job and work himself out of squalor” crowd.
The interview states that he’s going to school to improve his life. Good for him. Why did it take him 10 years? On one dollar a month, how can he afford soccer-star posters in his shack? If he has enough for luxuries, he doesn’t need help.

Yeah, I’m gettin it. You’re digging for shit to throw at him rather than reading and thinking about his policies, how they affect society, and how those compare to McCain’s.
Really? Hard to believe since just a few posts ago you said: [quote]don’t anybody waste your breath trying to tell me otherwise. [/quote]. If you admit your closed minded, why would someone engage in a “real” debate with you?

Hard to think something through while claiming “I have no education.” Public libraries are all over the place. Educate yourself.

Is this your definition of depth? [/quote]
throwing what at him? He wants to spend more of my money. it’s pretty straight forward. They are already taking 40%, how much is enough?
Please explain to me how his policies will effect society in a positive way,
