5 Well, one good thing about the US becoming Mexico: The hookers will  be cheaper.

6 I am in the middle of a Facebook "discussion" with a guy I worked with in college who now identifies as a socialist.  He is saying that corporations and the rich are putting us on the road to being a 3rd world country and says it is "ethnocentrist" like me who only watch Faux News, that are to blame.

7 Is Pres'ent Jugears McDickmitten for or against cheap hookers?

8 I think that basic idea, that Obama is changing the country from an exceptional country, which has been prosperous, good, and strong, into one of the dismally ordinary countries wherein the government exists chiefly to write checks to retirees and pensioners and the poor and default every seven years when it can't pay the bills.

You're wrong Ace. I want to turn America into a third world country so the UN will authorize bombing the Republicans.

9 I've given up on all the socialists that I used to know on Facebook. I'm just hoping we survive long enough to be able to say "I told you so."

Yesssss

It's not noble at all for Obama and crew in the name of Fairness take us to third world status. just make clips of HIM speaking of fairness terms , and videos snaps of mexico, cuba,   venezuela etc..of what that means .

and ask is this what you voted for?

12 Yeah, but have you tasted the Margaritas they have in Mexico.  Awesome!

13 Nobody in their right mind could be against cheap hookers.

14 1 No need to look to the Third World, just look to Detroit for the future Bambi wants for us. He's punishing America for being great by making us small.

Obama is the Avenging Angel of the Third World.  I have no doubt Obama was born in America, but his mind-set isn't American.  He first learned about America from his commie/hippie parents;  His anti-American indoctrination was completed "on the streets" in Indonesia.

Ace, stop worrying so much about what CAN be said.  That's very 1990's thinking after the Repubs lost their way.  The media is NEVER going to allow you to say ANYTHING that they deem unworthy, so free yourself and just speak the truth. 

People will hear it hopefully.  If not, we're screwed anyway.

18 You want to talk about third world countries? Which country has previously remained rich, hard-working, virtuous, vital, and free, and which sorts of countries have become poor, idle, cynical, sclerotic and feudal, and which type of country is Obama pushing us towards?

You can kiss my pinky ring now.

Actually I don't think using Detroit is a good idea; their city manager just fired all the union teachers to try and get costs under control.  Detroit under Dave Bing is much more aware than the shitheads in Cleveland, for example, that they have a shitty situation that bidness as usual ain't gonna make a dent in.

20 Didn't see this thread so I'll repost:

Is this the hope & change they were hoping for?

Last Saturday through Tuesday, thousands of Bay Area residents flocked to the Oakland Coliseum, where they received free medical, dental, and vision services - services that they couldn't otherwise afford.

...

This was the scene every morning at the Oakland Coliseum from Saturday to Tuesday - a four-day mass free clinic put on by Remote Area Medical, a nonprofit that provides free medical care to people in isolated areas around the world and in the States. The organization usually provides care in extremely impoverished parts of the world, but it was invited to the Bay Area by the state's association of oral surgeons. With the help of thousands of medical and administrative volunteers, more than 3,000 patients are being served this week.

21 BTW: I believe I just set the record for quickest subversion of a thoughtful comment thread to a discussion regarding cheap hookers. Now, for some reason, I feel a need to buy some shoes...

22 So should I start trading dollars for pesos?

23 Send that video representation of IowaHawk's  $10 Billion per day thing to everyone you know.

Then we need to harp on interest on the debt.  Hundreds of billions per year in interest we are paying..  That will get us to Third World status alone.

Ask that dickhead how the 3rd world countries got to be 3rd world countries, if many of them never saw corporations or the 'rich'? Is there more than one path to erd world country status? Follow up by requiring him to explain the presence of both corporations and the rich in enlightened European socialist states. Then ask him why we have a higher corporate tax rate than any country in Europe.

Then tell him to fuck off.

26 Great Depression 2.0 You don't know you're in it until you've lived it.

27 SKELETONS OF SOCIETY

28 A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, 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.

Whoever actually said it.. its still a very scary quote.... and soooo true...

29 Ace, you're dead on with this.

Certainly this is the most direct he's been about it, but this same vision has been coming up more and more often in his speeches.

How many times, in recent months, has he pointed to places like Brazil, China, Mexico, etc. as examples we need to follow? How many times has he snubbed traditional allies and rolled out the red carpet for socialist and communist leaders?

A related, disconcerting trend is how many politicians, pundits, and groups and individuals have come out publicly as devout, unabashed socialists.

Gov Barbour was on with Lauara Ingrahamcrackers this morning. I liked everything he had to say.

But I already know how the Democrats will smear him and try to undercut his presidential bid. They'll go after Barbour by pointing out the literacy rate, the drop-out rate, and the poverty rate of Mississippi.

Which is ironic and ballsy because every single Democrat-city-stronghold is a hell-hole worse than Mississippi.

33 If the GOP doesn't run ads that constantly show Obama speaking in his own words (with a few "it can be morning in America again" type positive ads), we should fire them all.  There is so much mask-slipping material out there now to show the 52%-ers who this guy really is.

Put Haley Barbour in charge of the ad campaigns.  He did a fantastic job with the RGA this election cycle.

Yup. I don't recognize the country I live in anymore. Who is paying for all this "free" shit?

38 I like that you used the word "Feudal" in your description of where Obama's taking us.  I've long been saying that the government is steering us towards a new feudalism defined by an educated elite that owns everything and a bunch of unwashed proles (which is what we'll be when they break the middle class).

39

To me, killing NASA manned space flight was very telling.  Yes, there's  problems at NASA and they have some kooks in off-shoot missions such as the global warming farce, but NASA manned space flight has exemplified what is good and best in America.  It said that we have the drive and ambition to do what has never been done, to reach past the bounds of earth, to dare to dream then make that dream come true.  We have seen some of America's finest hours played out by twenty-something engineers, by men who's bravery and sacrifice rivals, if not eclipses, anyone throughout history.  What exemplified America more that our space achievements?  And Obama killed it and replaced it with an earth-bound propaganda mission for sub-human savages. 

Yes, I firmly believe that it's Obama's mission to destroy this country.  He hates it and it's been demostrated over and over.  In a more saine world, the wookie would have killed any change Obama had of being president when she said this is the first time she has EVER been proud of this country.  They hate it and are actively working as agents of Soros, etc. to take this country down, and to be sure that it's damaged so severely that no one can get it back on track.  I truly hate these people!

40 Obama is very big on comparing himself to FDR. Maybe he thinks if he sends us deeper into the shitter then people will give him 4 terms.

41
hate to sound like an NFL pre-game dummy, but...

the key to defeating Obama is simple: Center the campaign around the fact that Obama has not been a president for ALL of the people.

Paint Obama as a partisan and explain to people how Obama is screwing them over for his special interest groups.

And Do Not get into the "freedom and taxes" bullshit ethereal feel-good bullshit.

42 If Obama is his 'brother's keeper' why isn't his illegal, gov't teet sucking Auntie living in the White House?

43 That quote about democracies voting themselves pieces of other people's pies is only half the problem. The left has discovered that they can farm voters, people who are nominally citizens, but live lives of endowed privation and lawlessness, who only exist to get out the vote.

44

Then tell him to fuck off.

Good idea, but I don't think it will have any impact on the leftards. Hippies LOVE ren-faires. They will think "feudal" means that we'll all live in castles and have drum circles every night.

52 It should also be said that like every third world gov't, our gov't, Obama's government is spending money on themselves like crazy!  Free flights, free vacations, lavish dinners, crazy - celebrity - filled - parties, golfing, etc.

53 >>And I don't think that's just me, or conservatives. I think that basic idea, that Obama is changing the country from an exceptional country, which has been prosperous, good, and strong, into one of the dismally ordinary countries wherein the government exists chiefly to write checks to retirees and pensioners and the poor and default every seven years when it can't pay the bills It's almost as if Obama wanted us to become a socialist country. But that's just crazy talk by a bitter clinger. Why would a guy who was raised by communists, taught by communists, worked for communists what a collectivist government?

54 I said it in the headlines thread. I'll say it again here: The poverty, shitty infrastructure, and all the other suckitude that pops in hour heads when we hear "third world" are not caused by resource problems. They are caused by character problems. Squalor thrives wherever property rights are weak. Property rights weaken wherever the suicidal codification of sloth, envy, and gluttony we call "collectivism" is sickly twisted into virtue.

55 Great news. The third world is best known for its tribal politics and tribal wars. Funny thing is sometimes one tribe wins and a nation is born. Lets roll.

56 You know what else happens in 3rd world countries?

Revolutions. Usually ending with the leaders fleeing the country or being hanged.

57 It's almost as if this eternal jackass has been saving up his straw men, and decided to deploy them all this week.

 Besides, he doesn't care when I trash Obama. So, it's fair. He's not one of those cry wolf civility hypocrites. Point is, though...fair is fair. We should do "V for Vendetta" type shit, and come up with fictional stories where our enemies vaguely resemble contemporary politicians.

79 But wait, do third world airports have actual air traffic controllers who are conscious?  

80 It isn't just Obama.

It isn't just Reid or Pelosi or any of the other poster-leftists.

It is the millions of Americans who have been fooled into believing the deceptions of the left, or who are part and parcel of that deception themselves.  In other words, the people who voted for him and others of his ilk.

Our nation is afflicted not merely with a bad president or some bad politicians, but with millions of men and women who are consumed by EVIL.

There is a book by M. Scott Peck called People of the Lie that describes this quite well.  He doesn't talk about leftists in the book per-se, or politics for that matter, but his description of human evil fits them so well it is spooky:

1. The evil hide their motives with lies.

Bad people with bad ideas hiding behind screens of continuous deception are precisely what the left is.

2. Evil people want to appear to be good.

I don't even have to comment on that one....

3. When confronted by evil, the wisest and most secure adult will usually experience confusion.

This is why leftists are so hard to figure out.  Trying to deal with them is an exercise in futility.  Offer them something that is objectively good, that helps to achieve their STATED aims, and they'll reject it.  Offer it enough and they'll attack you and call you names.  Only when you realize that their stated aims are the opposite of their actual agenda do their actions begin to make sense.

4. Evil seeks to discourage others to think for themselves (fosters dependency).

This is the one that I think is most telling.  It is possible to believe that other things the left does are good, or at least intended to be good.  A non-leftist could look at the left and assume that they are trying to do good, could be fooled by them.  But what they work to do that cannot be construed as positive or well intentioned are their efforts to trap people in poverty and make them dependent upon the state.  Next comes their creation of imaginary thought-crimes and speech-crimes in the form of Political Correctness.  The truth isn't afraid of dissent, only people who peddle lies. 

So instead of looking to Obama as the problem, look at him and understand that he's merely the symptom and that the real culprits are other Americans who work each day to destroy our nation and darken our futures.

5. To oppose evil we must have an ongoing dedication to reality at all cost.

Not all leftists are bad on an individual level.  Many are merely hoodwinked.  They believe they are good people doing good things, not understanding that their entire worldview is essentially a destructive lie.  They can be helped.  They can be persuaded.  They can be rescued.  Other people, your Noam Chomsky types, the people who craft the lies of the left themselves, cannot be helped but must be fought and resisted at every turn.

81

I will just repost what I put in the headlines thread about this:

Obama: The Republicans Want To Turn America Into A Third World Nation

My G-d, this turd has chutzpah. The self-styled Avenging Angel of the Third World who looks to do nothing but destroy this nation now spends his time telling actual Americans what America is all about (*spit*) and now he's accusing the GOP of wanting to turn the US into a third world shithole, just like his home country of Indonesia. Unbelievable. If America doesn't impeach and try this piece of shit, then we deserve the shit we get.

I would add, the Indonesian Imbecile feels free to project on the GOP because the GOP is full of nbothing but pussies who were always to scared to explicitly state what an America-hating, INELIGIBLE, third world retard Obama is.  That is all nothing but the truth, but since GOPers are scared to state the truth, the Indonesian Imbecile feels free to cast these projective accusations on them.

When will they learn?

.... never.

----------------------------------------------

I have been trying, with all my heart, to explain to people how important it was to be honest about the third world retard and warned that, if the GOP and conservatives refused to do this, they would open us all up to this sort of idiocy.  This is very mohammedan of B Hussein - steal something from someone and then accuse the original owner of having stolen it, just as mohammed did with thee Old and New Testaments (and which most Jews and Christians in the world still play along with).

Obama IS the third world.  He is a thrid worlder.  He was always about exacting some deluded and insane third world revenge on the US and the West.  Can the GOP and conservatives finally start saying this? 

82

The Big O does not take criticism well.  They went after Trump very quickly after Trump started the birth certificate suff.  Boehner shouldn't have been afraid of a showdown with him.  Unlike Clinton, who was deftly able to make people think of him as a victim, Obama gets strident and unpleasant very quickly.  Those live air comments he made in Chicago make him sound thin skinned and prickly.  More please.

83 When you go through customs at Third World airports, have several $20 bills handy--very handy.  In some places, make it a fifty

maybe here the same will get you out of a radioactive scanning or invasive pat-down

86 That facebook thing with the socialist. It's stupid that lefties are unable to process dissenting opinions. Obama and Clinton both bailed out wall street firms after making stupid investments, Obama is basically owned by GE and Goldman (and the unions too but that's another point). Conservatives like business but also like competition, there's a difference than the crony capitalism being played by the evangelical left these days.

that's very true.  And it doesn't even have to be really political. 

I'm watching this debacle over the fox news political blogger who wrote a little blurb about BO's speech and mentioned the student suicide.  It was in very poor taste but she probably just figured it was notable as the president was on the campus.   Everyone has gone nuts over it.  The students, the university, the MSM, all of them.  They've politicized it more than the original blogger who I don't think meant to politicize it or infer anything but was just guilty of having no class.  It's now got a thousand comments on huff poo poo and counting and very little blogger is linking to the article.  They are trying to use this to take Fox news down like they took Glenn Beck down. 

It's really depressing to watch.  They've made more of a political situation out of this poor kid's suicide than the mention of fox news ever did and it's becoming a circus.  It has me very very down to see this.

99 There are two allied sources of power driving the country into the dirt. The first is obviously the Marxists. But the second is the Gaia worshiping crowd that wants society to whiter to the point that most of the human race dies off.

These hippies are all prepared, hell they all know how to bake their own bread and grow a garden, they take herbal medicine and spend all of their waking time meditating.

The marxists have harnessed the votes and the energy of these hippies to facilitate their own power transition, and are counting on there being enough left of society to feed their own greed for power and riches while oppressing the rest of us.

I think the Marxists will lose this one, the hippies will win, and the rest of us will become something myths are made of to those who are lest 5,000 years from now.

In the mean time, while all hell breaks loose, the hippies can expect that every tree that exists is going to become fuel for our kitchens until no trees exist (it has happened before). There will be so much ecological devastation that only time will heal it. but they are counting on the human race being nothing but a few bands of insignificant tribes by then, and it will heal. So they will have achieved their objective.

 That's what they are all about. When you live in an ideology that says "My ideas=Good, Their ideas=Evil", you are not able to process other people's ideas. They define good ideas as ideas Democrats think of, nothing else. And if a bad idea happens to be a Democratic one, they will blame conservatives for it in anyway.

 Think about how everyone defines Slavery by the region it came from(the South) as opposed to the Political Party that endorsed it. Because they blame the region(apparently, Geography can make you evil), they are able to shift blame in the minds of unthinking voters.

Slavery and Segregation= South. Republican party= Party of South(today). Therefore, Slavery and Segregation= Republican Party. With this simple logic trick, they shift hundreds of years of Democrats supporting racism...to the party that freed slaves, enforced reconstruction and fought to ban lynching.

If you point this out, many will cede that Dems supported Slavery...but then they'll bring up the evil "Southern Strategy"! Which, as far as I can tell, is a myth. But even if it real...Nixon was one guy. How the hell does one President's alleged racist strategy overcome hundreds of years of the other party endorsing lynching and segregation?

You could be talking about Obama and his Admin or Muslims.  Scary huh?

102 Says the guy who jets off to another wine and caviar black-tie fund raising dinner--while the people live in squalor.

The JEF is just like his third-world idols: All parties, all speeches and all the money for him while everybody who doesn't kiss up to him is an enemy.  He's even got the "bribe the international community so they don't bother you" down pat.

103 Speaking of Slavery, I see an historical allegory there. Democrats have always supported using people in terms of cheap labor for economic power, and gaining a higher population for representative power. They just shifted the agenda from blacks to latinos.

 When that group asserts it's power and fights the machine, they'll just use a trick to blame Republicans...and then they'll find some other minority group to exploit while they "fight for them". Yeah, the Democratic Party...the party of giving you trinkets and claiming to be magnanimous for it.

Which is where point #5 in my post comes in:

To oppose evil we must have an ongoing dedication to reality at all cost.

106 Since we're descending into Third World status, has anyone called dibs on the Baseball Furies motif for their armed faction, yet?

107 A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, 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.

This should be the only stump speech given in the run-up to 2012!  This absolutely says it all.

108 I can't wait until he accuses Republicans of taking vacations and not trying to fix the problem, as a projection to his constant desire to avoid working.

 Oh wait, the Slurpees/Car in the Ditch metaphor.

109 It's really depressing to watch.  They've made more of a political situation out of this poor kid's suicide than the mention of fox news ever did and it's becoming a circus.  It has me very very down to see this.

Yes, it's terrifying to watch if you read history.  We are in the Opposite of the Fifties, when almost nothing was political--now almost everything is.

When times are Good and getting Better, people are even less interested in or influenced by political messages.  But lately ( when times are Bad and getting Worse ) people who rarely or never tune into political messages are much more vulnerable

The real culprit, as noted above, is one or two percent who are Left and politically active, but the climate today gives them a lot of influence that they rarely have ( and never had before )

That's how you get 52.5% voting for a mentally disturbed community organizer who's a combo of Castro and Stalin and Goebbels and Peron

One of my other subversive social activities, apart from handing out copies of Animal Farm to the college aged, is popping Dr. Zhivago into the DVD when lib relatives drop by and ask to see their scars.

I also recommend Dr.Z to my doctor friends who are libs. When they start carping about financial problems and say they are going to retire early, I just say the word "conscription" and laugh. They can retire into olive drab or sun themselves in Leavenworth. And face a firing squad if they screw up. Always a big laugh getter.

111 "and asking to see their scars when the little commie in glasses comes on."

112 Excellent tail. Nail the fucker to the wall with us.

The sad thing is, it's true. Obama wants us to be more like Mexico and Brazil or Indonesia.

Most lefties at least want us to be more like Sweden or someplace civilized. Obama doesn't even want that. That would be racist.

For the hard left Obama-scum America should literally become an average of the world -- ideally an exact ethnic mirror of the global population.

This would of course bring us to 3rd world penury, but that's a feature to them, not a bug.

114 It's interesting to watch but sad that it's our country.  I remember when bloomie was telling anyone who would listen, during the bush administration, that we were a third world country.  So he took advantage, got himself a third term and became silent.  It's shameful.

115 donald trump is on the rush linbaugh show now.

116 LA is already third world, in ethnicity and governance. Every time I drive to LA I notice the only tall building in East LA, with the huge letters of UHW - SEIU at the top.  Yes, SEIU organizes all the home care folks and runs the plantation.

117 You know what it is they'll claim you are really saying when you express this distaste for the third world?

118 "The Roots of Obama's Rage" explains a lot of this.

Re #85
Great post Lee,
This is why I don't really get pissed at the politicians.  They are who they are.  This is a democracy and ultimately the American public is responsible for the outcome.

I find that the actions of the left are very logical once you understand that their ideology is actually their religion.
They really are trying to save the world.
But so was Hitler.

120 I hear your rage over the statement...  but I don't see how it has opened up any opportunities against Obama.  What....  are you going to call him twice as many names as you did before?  Yesterday he was Hitler and Stalin and the Anti-Christ.  Are you gonna add Charles Manson to the list?  You're going to get "Alinsky" on him....  as if you haven't already been systematically lying about Obama for years!  The whole hyperbolic anti-Obama schtick is like NSync....  one day they were like going to space and stuff, blowing people's minds with their synchronized dancing, good looks, and generic pop sound.  Now, they are just kind of silly.  

121 You can may be discovered to be very splendid looking all round person, by just picking your most beloved where how can you buy abercrombie and fitchand fitch through the uk. even although you will step from home, each and every person.

122 I think it is not bad enough that Obama is a leftist socialist pig, but He is also incompetent and allergeric to taking any strong leadership stances as well.
