DD>* A pathological hatred of the president posing as patriotism
DD>* has infected the Republican Party. Here's new data to prove it:


TR> Since when does verbally and strongly disagreeing with a president,
TR> become `pathological hatred'?


DD>It doesn't - and no one in the article quoted said it did.


Then....as those are *your* initials in front of that statement, are we to
believe that it is *you* who said it did?


DD>However, the
DD>Stalinist wing of the Repugs certainly accused those who verbally and
DD>strongly disagreed with the puppet president, George III of having a
DD>"pathological hatred" of not only that administration, but
America itself.


*The Stalinist wing*? Are you even on the same planet we are? *Repugs*? You
begin to sound a lot like Otto Sauer. Hmmmmm



DD>* 67 percent of Republicans (and 40 percent of Americans overall)
DD>believe that Obama is a socialist.


TR> Much of the healthcare bill foisted on America by this president is for
TR> the `have nots' at the expense ofthe `haves'. Thats socialism.


DD>That's compassion, more like. And healthcare is, IMO, a legitimate
DD>function of gummint.


`Compassion'? Really? What would you know about compassion?


Being compassionate to those in need is fine, as long as you're doing it with
your own money. But getting the government to take other people's money away
from them, to use to show *your* compassion is stealing, not charity.



DD>* 57 percent of Republicans (32 percent overall) believe that Obama
DD>is a Muslim


TR> This president's religion has nothing to do with leading the country
TR> down to ruin.


DD>I agree. Why, then, do the wing-nuts make such a big deal of it? ... as
DD>they did in past with Jack Kennedy's Catholicism.


Talk to the `wing-nuts' about that. Know any?


DD>* 45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the
DD>Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United
DD>States and so is not eligible to be president"


TR> There has never been a `bonified' birth cedrtificate produced, showing
TR> that this president was born in the place it is claimed he was born.


DD>Nor has there needed to be.


Yes....there has. Ever since he first started campaigning. That point is very
clear.


Article II


Section 5.


"No person except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States,
at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the
office of President; ......"


It is not for us to prove he *wasn't*......it is for him to prove that he
*was*! So far.......he has not given any positive proof whatever that he is in
compliance with Section 5, Article II.


DD>Don't you think that if someone had even a
DD>shred of evidence that the current occupant of the oval office was NOT
DD>able to claim native-born status that they would have come forward, long
DD>since.


Don't you think that if there were in fact *absolute proof positive* he is in
compliance with Article II, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution, it would have
been brought forward long since, and put this issue to rest? So far, that has
not happened.


DD>Of course they would have. And Lardbutt, Beck & Call, and Tiny
DD>Willy O'Reilly would have been trumpeting it from the rooftops and all
DD>over Faux "News".


Otherwise, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and the whole leftist media would
have been trumpheting it from the rooftops and all over MSNBC!


DD>* 38 percent of Republicans (20 percent overall) say
DD>that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"


TR> Hitler lead the people along with vast promises of `hope and change' as
TR> well.


DD>Well, he certainly got change. And the overall outcome was (eventually)
DD>good for the German people.


We're getting change, too. We're getting bankrupt along with it.


DD>Although, the process was painful. Much more painful than anything that
DD>Obama has done - so far.


DD>* Scariest of all, 24 percent of Republicans (14 percent overall)
DD>say that Obama "may be the Antichrist."


TR> I doubt it.


DD>I didn't pay much attention to that not being a religious-nut any more
DD>than I am a wing-nut.


No.....you misunderstand. I don't mean I doubt he's the Antichrist (which I
do), I meant that I doubt your figures.


DD>These numbers all come from a brand-new Harris poll, inspired in part by a
DD>new book Wingnuts. It demonstrates the cost of the campaign of fear and
DD>hate that has been pumped up in the service of hyper-partisanship over the
DD>past 15 months. We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president
DD>and dividing the United States in the process. What might be good for
DD>ratings is bad for the country.


DD>The poll, which surveyed 2,230 people right at the height of the
DD>health-care reform debate, also clearly shows that education is a barrier
DD>to extremism.


I just happen to notice something. Your `poll' surveyed 2,230 people?


The disapproval of citizens in the country for this bill was well over the
top. Had it been put on a national ballot it would have been voted down.


TR> One does not, of course, need a `college' education to be qualified to
TR> like or dislike a president and their policies. Those who did not
TR> attend colleges as they are now in America, are far less likely to have
TR> a left-leaning bias to their thinking. They are far less likely to have
TR> the `revisionist' slant that seems to be taught in our colleges and
TR> universities, now-a-days.


DD>Even those who go to Bob Jones University? Or Oral Roberts University? Or
DD>any of the service academies - they are colleges/universities, you know.


I don't know about that.


TR> In an America where violent radicals such as Bill Aires and Bernadine
TR> Dohrn, instead of inhabiting prison cells for the domestic terrorism
TR> they engaged in and encouraged, are esconced in teaching positions in
TR> one of our universities, what is the exact value of a `college'
TR> education? Just how complete, and wide -viewed an education could be
TR> expected?


DD>Bill Ayers (correct spelling) and Bernadine Dohrn and even Angela Davis
DD>are hardly the mainstream of American Higher Education.


Bill Ayers (correct spelling be damned), Dohrn, and Angela Davis shouldn't
even be teaching `higher education'; they all ought to still be in prison.
