I wonder why he is still behind in Ohio? Is the racism of that state just WAY worse than that of Texas?

I have almost always come away from conversations with friends/relatives from Midwest and Northeastern states thinking that Texans and Southerners are, in some ways, more "tolerant" than those from the "Union" who have historically derided us as "bigots."

I wish someone could explain to me why one freakin' communist is that much better than the other ones. Obama, Clinton, McCain, three peas in a socialist/communist pod. A pox on all of them and a plague on all their houses!

In his speech the other day accepting Dodd's endorsement, Obama repeated his previous calls for closing Guantanamo, restoring habeas corpus, and following the Constitution. He also expressed his support for Dodd's filibuster against immunity for the telecoms' illegal snooping and his opposition to the immunity and the snooping.

I don't think either of the other major candidates has done anything like that.

Here's a link to Obama's speech the other day.

I am more interested in how he votes on socialist crap than I am on hearing or reading his speeches. Most politicians can make good speeches because they have good speech writers. And most of them don't mean a word they say.

Only Hillary and McCain have not been making that kind of speech.

I read his speech you linked to. Not each and every word but I didn't see any condemnation of an unjust and improperly applied tax (the "income" tax) in the whole speech. If he actually knows the Constitution as well as he claims to then why doesn't he know that the IRS is robbing people under color of law? A "law" which doesn't even apply to most people and no one who works in an "occupation of common right"? He is as big a fraud as any of the rest of them.

You seem to think all people who do not share your view of what taxes are allowed under the Constitution do not believe in the Constitution at all. That doesn't leave many people.

It does, however, leave Grover Norquist and his antitax people, who are willing to surrender all our other liberties just so that they can keep taxes as low as possible.

At least I don't think that all taxes are legitimate so long as some "official" claims they are. If you think that there may not be a lot of help for you but I really thought you were smarter than that.

The income tax is only one issue. One that we have had to live with for many decades. Since 1913, to be precise.

If you think we have been in a totalitarian state since then, and that all other government assaults don't matter as long as we have to put up with this one, I'm afraid I can't help you.

You sound like you believe you are talking to someone who is ignorant of government atrocities. I assure you I am not but many of them can be linked to the income tax scam. And I don't recall asking for your help, just pointing out that this Obama guy isn't someone who is going to end the hoaxes, frauds and crimes that are being perpetrated against Americans.

I think you are right to lack "hope" in this regard.

Ron Paul also had as a mantra "hope for America" as I recall.

The fact that Dr. Paul's candidacy can be and has been basically successfully censored by the mainstream media tells us there is no real reason to be "hopeful" in terms of our political system.

I view Obama as a "feel good" rhetorician who will accomplish, by and large, nothing in office other than attempt to placate the destitute masses of our mongrelized population with pretty platitudes. I "hope" I am wrong about this.

I doubt if we will ever have to test my "thesis" as I still do not believe he will ever take the oath of office.

You could have probably ended that sentence right there. Obama, if he actually gets elected, will be more of the same ol', same ol'. Just another mephitic politician owned by the CFR and the Bilderbergers/Skull and Bones people. The only one running worth voting for is Ron Paul and they have done everything they can to marginalize his campaign. People need to effin wake up, look at how the bought and paid for establishment whore media is pushing Obama. That should tell anyone with two adequately functioning brain cells that he is a sellout.

Yup, I got 2 brain cells ... adequately functioning ... and you're right.

Thanks.I just don't think Obama is all some people make him out to be. But then they are entitled to believe he is great if they want to. I still say that anyone who is a big favorite with the establishment media whores is no good. And Obama is their "golden boy" at the moment, at least he seems to be.

Here we may part company, Jimbo. While the definition of entitlement is pertinent my point here is not to debate that, but to ask the question, when someone elses opinion unsupported by facts becomes detrimental to others, is it in fact a right for them to continue promoting it?

We have a society going mad dog because the few willing to study the many factors and factions corrupting the entire social infrastructure aren't able to overcome the ignorant masses led about by propagandists spouting shallow sound bites. In a truly free society those able to see through the fraud should at a minimum be allowed to withdraw from the fraudulent society and form their own. This is not being allowed, nor will it be because the lack of knowledge among the masses makes it possible for tyrants to operate their agenda as long as they stick a pacifier in the masses mouth to suck on while they ignore facts and truth.

"...when someone elses opinion unsupported by facts becomes detrimental to others, is it in fact a right for them to continue promoting it?..."

That is a good point but I know of no way to help deluded people than to try to educate them. I fail to see why otherwise intelligent people seem to think this Obama character is all that much better or different than any of the other goons the establishment would be just as happy to foist off on us. If people would pay attention they would see that of all the people running the only one the establishment crowd is really opposed to is the best man running, Ron Paul. And Ron would be right at home in the company of Washington and Jefferson in my opinion.

"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." --Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820.
