But it’s OK for the Muslims to impose their beliefs and values on us…

Amen. If the US can’t lead by example it can’t lead at all.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 1st, 2009 - 9:01 pm

America…Democracy along with it’s freedoms and liberties is the best of all possiblities of rule.

That is why so many people under dictatorship and oppressive regimes fight so hard to achieve those same values and freedoms!

America has never “sought to impose” these values on the world…we have offered to help free countries under oppression so that they, too, can enjoy the freedoms and liberties that we here in America have always enjoyed. We have never sought to “rule” those countries!

What is his problem? Why does he continually diss America and it’s freedoms and values?

Because he is a puppet of the Bilderberg Society wanting to destroy our great nation and it’s freedoms and liberties!

Because he is a Muslim and holds the same values as his King…Abdullah…the one he BOWED DEEPLY before showing his allegiance and subserviance.

That is what he wants for our great nation?

Sharia law?

America…we must demand that someone in Washington call for the “original” birth certificate!

He will be leaving soon on another one of those “million” dollar overseas trips…where he takes planes, SUVS, secret service, cooks, hair people, etc. You name it…he takes it…and we pay!

Then he will give a speech to yet another Islamic nation…dissing America and it’s free people once again.

America…we need that birth certificate. This man is dangerous to our country.

Each day we lose more and more in our country.

WHERE IS THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

==================

JUST ANOTHER SAD AND PATHETIC DAY IN THE ‘REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN’ THE FIRST KENYAN, MUSLIM PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…A ‘CHRISTIAN’ NATION NO MATTER WHAT HE TELLS HIS ISLAMIC FRIENDS!

Hey grik,

Next time your sitting around with the hot end of you pistol in your mouth, go with your feelings and do us all a favor.

Pop, goes the Weasel!

Oh, give me a break!

We all know the left are a bunch of self-hating,
Suicidal Crybabies!

I just said what we all know!

I’m tired of pampering the little turd munching idiots!

Click, Click, BOOM!

SuperSarge229   June 1st, 2009 - 9:35 pm

My God!

What a clueless hunk of crapola the left has elected this time!

And I thought Big Fatass Lying Bubba was as low as the left could go!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..
America, we are screwed!

Gandhi's Fist   June 1st, 2009 - 9:58 pm

Judeo-Christian values married to Western thought beat all other national philosophies hands down. Bring American freedoms into play, you’ve got the greatest nation ever to have appeared on earth–ever!

Impose values? Holy Mac, everyone wants in here to get a piece of these “values.”

Obama’s plan is not to raise near-do-well nations to our level, rather, he’d like to drag us down to theirs.

Philip Lowry   June 1st, 2009 - 10:48 pm

This coming from the guy who licks the boots of N. Koreaa, Venezuala, Iran, ETC?

Gimme a break! Throw Obama out! If he loves dictatorships so much, why doesn’t he move to one?

Just stick one of those pink change-of-address stickers on his teleprompter…

Now that we have gone bankrupt and are in debt to other countries to the tune of trillions of dollars, America will have a much harder time controlling the rest of the world. A few years ago the term “imperial overreach” was heard quite frequently, but it didn’t really mean that much until our whole economy started to really implode.

With our economic collapse, do we really need to get involved in another war or ten to make these military contractors rich? Probably not. But this is America, and we’re crazy for war. Batten down the hatches, there are more funny looking brown people to murder and rape in far-off lands.

Technically, the only thing you can do short of everyone in the U.S. dying somehow, is not doing anything for anyone, that’s the only way you cannot impose your ‘values’ on someone else. You don’t send food, you don’t get presents, and you don’t get the U.N. to write a stern letter of warning. Otherwise, if you want to be one of the leaders of the world…. yes, you have to impose some sort of ‘values’ on some other countries, the same way some try to impose their ‘values’ on us via suicide bombers.

racerx   June 2nd, 2009 - 1:34 am

Good point, Alex, but don’t you think we would also try to attack a foreign occupier if troops came into the United States and started telling us who we could do business with, how we should live, and who we could elect? I think we would.

Imagine foreign troops busting in your door in the middle of the night and making everyone get on the ground, maybe disappearing with your wife or your daughter for a little while. What kind of values would really be on display?

Sundowner   June 2nd, 2009 - 8:22 am

This going to be the dominant personality you display today then racerx? Or is lil Anexio/FRWW and who all knows who else going to get to come out and play. Now we all know you’re a liberal, you have to make up imaginary board friends just like ya did during childhood. Pathetic. Go get ‘em Sybil. lol

Anexio May 13th, 2009 – 10:45 pm

I too have a brother that is so right wing he has no understanding of the real world.

LOL! What is it that these people don’t get? It’s time we had a change in the White House. And that is exactly what we got. Change and for the better.

it’s about time a black American was in the White House and not as someone that washes the dishes.

Barack Obama!

The sad thing here is that the whole USA knows Pelosi’s just a bit loony. But they ALSO know that Rep. John Larson speaks the 100% truth on this call, and their votes showed it! Soon the truth will be in the pudding and you morons on this pathetic hate filled loser site will have mud in your eye,…………AGAIN! LOL!

LOSERS!

Yeah, Reagan, he did a great job! LOL!

“The epitaph of the Reagan presidency will be: ‘When Ronald Reagan became President, the United States was the largest creditor nation. When he left the presidency, we were the world’s largest debtor nation.’”
–Lester Thurow, MIT professor of economics

“[A] lapse into fiscal indiscipline on a scale never before experienced in peacetime.”
–David Stockman (Reagan’s budget director) describing the 1980’s, The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed

“In the Reagan years, more federal debt was added than in the entire prior history of the United States.”
–Richard Darman (Reagan advisor), Who’s in Control? Polar Politics and the Sensible Center

Azul Del Fuego   June 2nd, 2009 - 8:33 am

Who gave you that new catch-phrase of “Universal Values”, Obama? Was it Axelrod? Soros? Rahm? Did you test “Universal Values” with a liberal group to ensure that it meets their level of sensitivity?
Can you give us an example of a country that exhibits these Universal Values, Obama? N Korea? China? Syria? (Pelosi loves herself some Syria!) Iran?
Do you meet with other nations to determine what these “Universal Values” are? Are you talking about values that give defference to those values you find in the Middle East? Honor K!ll!ngs, female mut!lat!ons, etc?
Obama, you are just full of it…

Obama’s 4 years aren’t over yet.

Jon in DC   June 2nd, 2009 - 8:34 am

and yet the dems have no problem imposing their beliefs in sodomy, socialism and atheism on the nation.

TB   June 2nd, 2009 - 10:37 am

This guy is an ass clown! Why is it ok for he and his administration to impose his values on us? He is the President not the King…

JohnnyAmerican   June 2nd, 2009 - 6:34 pm

Dr. Mary Pat Jordan, As if he will be re-elected. you assume too much. remember that a person who assumes make’s an ass of you and me. I do not believe this person will be in office in after the next election. he wants us to bend, but the muslin world and do what ever it wants. F*&k that! Not much time left. we shall see who is in office in 2012.

GO USA!

It is people like you and American Liberal that have taken our great nation down from within. Trust me. the rest of us will not stand for it much longer. we will fight and win. Power to the USA. We are ready to go at a moments notice. Civil war is an ugly thing, but it will happen if the our leader do not stop this destruction.
