Early Debate Prediction: Socialists Win BIG! Forum's RSS Feed

***RANT ALERT - IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE MOOD, SKIP IT!***

I'll bet Karl Marx is having Dish Network installed in the 9th Circle of Hell today in anticipation of tonight's doubtless espousal of his poisonous doctrines by both pretenders to the throne. I can only hope he's using Saul Alinsky as a footrest.

A little over the top? Perhaps.

But I expect that the Kabuki Theater that will be the war hero and the community organizer trying to out-socialist each other will be more than I can bear. The Obama camp has already sent over their debate talking points to the media today. If nothing else, the kid has some balls. But if Sean Smith, the functional illiterate who composed the talking points, is any indication of the caliber of Obama's future cabinet, we have more to worry about than we realize.

Truth be told, I expect socialist tomfoolery from the likes of a lowlife Chicago politician like Obama. He hasn't thrown us any curves this election season. He hopes to take our money and distribute it to more worthy custodians (figuratively and quite literally), and has told us as much with a smile on his face.

It's McCain who has been all over the yard. It takes a highly concentrated dose of Washington stupidity to even register on my radar these days, the bar having been set ridiculously low by the past three administrations. But when McCain suggested buying out private homeowners' mortgages and re-indexing them to current market values, I literally lost my shit. In the immortal words of Carl Fox, “I guess if you live long enough you'll get to see everything.”

Hey, shit for brains, I've got some 14,000 DOW I'd like to have re-indexed to 8,500. Can we work that out, too? Or is this welfare plan just for dumbass soccer moms who withheld sex until Johnny Lunchbucket bought them a McMansion in the burbs?

We will all mark 2008 as the death of any personal responsibility in this country. What was once a meritocracy now rewards stupidity of the most audacious nature. Is it any wonder that the first Presidents of our once great nation had to be drafted into the position? Honestly. Who, other than a thief or buffoon, would actively seek that job?

No matter which nitwit prevails tonight, and three weeks from now, this country will be less free, more expensive, and mostly unbearable to anyone in possession of native intelligence or a sense of fair play. Where the people fear the government, you find tyranny. Where the government fears the people, you find liberty. This government no longer has any fear whatsoever. Marx would be proud.

Yesman, you may fire at will...

If people would've voted for Ron Paul, I'd be dancing a fucking jig right now.

This country's last, best hope was H. Ross Perot in 1992.

I hope you guys are joining me...

by cdw38 User's RSS Feed (Senior Monkey, 98 Banana Points Points) on 10/16/08 at 1:17am

I said this in the other post, but I'm spending the next 4 years writing to Ron Paul begging for one more go, as an independent, in 2012...77 or not, that's starting to look like the last hope for a long time (I think the primaries proved there is a newer, younger base of people that still care about things like liberty and common sense, so I don't think all hope is lost...).

Honestly, he destroyed Greenspan for years and now he regularly destroys Bernanke whenever he talks to Congress - imagine Obama trying to debate economic policy with him...it would be worse than McCain trying to take him on in foreign policy.

This is one of the greatest

by Virginia Tech 4ever User's RSS Feed (Orangutan, 330 Banana Points Points) on 11/6/08 at 12:24am

This is one of the greatest posts of all time. The OP basically wrote what I didn't know how to say but was thinking. God bless you.
