Being a cynical realist and having voted since Ike, I must say I have never met any man in politics that fits the description you have of Obama.
Will he get his nose out of AIPAC's butt during his presidency? That he and McCain BOTH kowtow to the same groups, ad nauseum, in their debates rather shows me that Obama is more of the same ol', same ol' dressed up as a "change".
Yup, I agree. That's why I hope we're in for better times.
It must be my lack of discernment. I have never met or voted for any politician that impressed me. Every one of them are mere men with many flaws looking for power at any cost. When I observe people at a political rally, waving and cheering, I wonder if it is me that is lacking something.
Help me, here. Which AIPAC butt are you referring to?
What you lack is the ability to suspend your critical thinking and just jump on the bandwagon and hail Der Leader because everyone else is. More likely a lack of connection. I've met a number of pols who were not power nuts, even some Republicans, and I've seen s good number who were actually about making things better for all of us. That would be a long list, as I think about it. Your cynicism seems to warp your perception. Obama founded his campaign on changing DC politics as usual, and while I don't think he can fully achieve that, it's a heckuva lot better direction to be rowing, and I do believe he will achieve some....
You can't be serious. ---- Obama's AIPAC Speech, Rahm's Endorsement "I want you to know that today I’ll be speaking from my heart, and as a true friend of Israel. And I know that when I visit with AIPAC, I am among friends. Good friends. Friends who share my strong commitment to make sure that the bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable today, tomorrow, and forever." ---- Didn't you notice that Obama and McCain tried to outdo each other in the debates by both stating, multiple times, that there won't be a "second holocaust"? The rest of the world notices even if the two-backed Obama/McCain beast doesn't: "It is deeply disastrous to witness that some presidential or premiere nominees in some big countries have to visit these people, take part in their gatherings, swear their allegiance and commitment to their interests in order to attain financial or media support." -From my sig
If you read William L. Shirer, he attended many of the German mass rallies. He made the remark that he could never understand the mass hysteria, due to pageantry and oratory. Seeing the people enthralled and mesmerized was was beyond belief. We have such susceptible people here on 4um.
On the other hand, Shirer paticipated in the mass hysteria by pushing the gas chamber claims. Have you ever seen David Cole's interview with Franz Piper? David Cole Interviews Dr. Franciszek Piper, Director, Auschwitz State Museum
the only hope we got is that obama will pull a putin on the israeli americans. chances of that? practically zero.
Shirer was a Jew. I was merely pointing out his not understanding mass hysteria as a human fault. We now have the same thing, just to a much smaller degree.
You're an optimist. : ) Good to see ya again, waddy. WTF happened to LF? Any idea?
I'm shocked. I was merely pointing out his not understanding mass hysteria as a human fault. Gotchya and roger.
yeah. LF must have outlived its usefulness, so they pulled the plug. the most interesting thing is the timing... was the LF project plugged in so solidly that they knew this financial 9/11 was in the works?
LF had a steady readership of 1000-2000 people a day, worldwide. The info posted there went all over the net eventually. Can't have that now, can we?
nope... ...plus the place was infested with truly ugly characters that were doing nobody any good at all.
Ah, yes, that AIPAC. Except for being a lone outpost in the Middle East generally supporting the US, and a major staging area and military aid recipient, I've often wondered why Israel has been an essential commitment of US presidents. I don't think that's a bad thing, but their occupation of Palestinian lands and oppression of people is not a good thing. It's clearly a conundrum. Until there is greater stability in the area, and peace among its nations -- bigger job now after Bush disasters, hmm? -- I think we're going to have to continue extraordinary support for Israel. I don't want to invite the Zionist-anti-Zionist stuff with this comment. It's as puzzling to me as the Shiite-Sunni conflicts, seeming ancient and irrelevant today. I will step out of this discussion because these are issues I don't understand, in the end.
Ya mean the mods? ; ) Seriously, I agree. I would like to start an LF refugee mailing list or something, though.
might turn out to be a mixed blessing....
hi wadosy, welcome to 4um.
Do You Know What Freedom Really Means? Freedom4um.com
howdy, ma'am. thank you, glad to be here.
It's not hard to understand. We're told that Israel is our "only friend" in the Mideast. Before Israel, we had no enemies in the Mideast. Obama and McCain pretend to disgree when, in fact, they're in complete sympatico on the single most important foreign policy issue facing Americans. As I said, it's not hard to understand.
When I see people shrieking and jumping around at political rallies I wonder why I should feel more embarassed for their lack of self-control than they do. Teeny boppers. Raging hormones. Giggles. Fan clubs. The only thing missing is pubescent pimples.
Glad to see that I have other company, that I am not alone in this world.
I guess he gives them hope. Unfortunately, pictures like that destroy all of mine, regardless of which candidate is currently packing (sucking) them in.
Oh, I think we have a lot of company. We just tend not to shriek and jump around in front of cameras.
Some people actually enjoy being swayed by mass hysteria brought upon them by oratory and pagentry.
mine too. the mindless collective idolization of a politician...

Roman coliseums are still in style. A fight to the death always gets the blood rushing to some people's tiny brains.
mindless collectives .... democracy in action.
If you were white trash hill billy, I would say you would be a close cuzin to me.
Why is it that the guys that get all of the mindless idolizing are usually corrupt as all hell?
because they promise goodies...

So are chariot races: The only thing that picture proves is that 99.9% of the people of this country are going to get what they deserve. The other 0.1% like me, my mother, Chrissy, Jethro, Cynicom, Lodwick, and several others here don't deserve what's coming.
I always aspired to be a hill billy, but never made it quite that far. Is that close enuf for soul cuzins?
Because decent, honest people don't need or want to be surrounded by braindead idolizers.
This time around there will be no middle class. There will be the elite and the "no class" as in the days of serfdom.
After listening to the Howard Stern show interviews with voters in Harlem, I'm almost convinced that we have the government that we deserve. Give it a listen if you haven't already.
