If Obama really is a sleeper agent plotting against America, then his desire to become president kinda makes sense. If he really wants to hurt America, he needs to know our secrets, and becoming President of the United States is about the only way someone with his associations could legitimately get a security clearance.
So what’s he plotting? Probably terrorists attacks… but maybe a surprise birthday party for us all. We can’t be sure just yet.
He probably just wants to ban buckets and their manufacture.
Nah, this whole take-hundreds-of-millions-in-llegal-donations thing for a presidential race is a scam. He’s in Hawaii now getting ready to skip the country with his ill-gotten gain. Then he’ll send back a video laughing at all the stupid while people who were dumb enough to believe anything he said.
Cue the Steve Miller music.
It’s OK. The more conservative Dick Durbin and Nancy Pelosi will keep him from implementing any liberal ideas.
I predict the following conversation between Obama and the Pentagon:
Obama: “I need access to all your secret files.”
Pentagon: “Uh… ok.”
*hands Obama a copy of the New York Times*
Obama: “No, not this. I mean with like, death rays and stuff. Alien coverups. Nuclear secrets?”
Pentagon: “That’s all classified.”
Obama: “I’m the president! I’m cleared for top secret material!”
Pentagon: “Yes, well, uh, those are super duper top secret. You’ll need to… uh… fetch a rare tropical flower from the top of the tallest mountain and… uh… bring it to the center of the earth, where they will upgrade your clearance.”
Obama: “Oh.”
Meanwhile, in the men’s room, the desk secretary is sitting on the can reading through 9/11 conspiracy coverup files, which have been conveniently stacked in a pile next to the sink.
#4: Heh.
Maybe he just wants to serve us punch and pie. I’d like that, and it would heal some hard feelings I have toward the fella.
Just don’t let him get the files on Black Project Insano.
Taxable 401K’s
Mandatory savings with prison penalties for refusal (a new tax)
General tax hike through “bracket adjustment”
Stricter handgun laws (Federally-approved locks, etc.)
Military defunding, multiple program cancellations
New hate crimes bill
Fairness doctrine (end of talk radio)
Withdrawal of US troops from Iraq
Fancy “spread the wealth” legislation surprises
(more, we can only speculate)
I’m just full of Hope that he will Change his plans from completely socializing and communizing the USA to a nice birthday party on the 4th of July.
I hope for change… Heh
Bringing about Satan’s rule on Earth, cats and dogs living together…you know, the usual patriotic stuff that I’m in favor of. Only a racist cracker would disagree with my plans for hope and change and demons rending your souls.
Jimmy I think you’re being a little too optimistic. Once a socialist (and I don’t use that term lightly) is made president, you can expect the markets to completely collapse (as they are currently trying to do with just the mere threat of a socialist as president) and the Great Depression II. The first one gave us all kinds of big government the next one would could be the country’s death sentence.
I never dreamed my kids would not have the opportunity to lead a better life than I have had. Now I think it’s a real possibility if he does get elected.
Kansas – I think it’ll start with smaller steps. So, yeah, I sound optimistic.
BTW, I forgot:
* A bipartisan, mandatory National Health Care plan (the Hillary deal) with penalties for refusal to participate.
* Continued nationalization of banks started under Bush.
* Mandatory “national service” plus women registering for the Selective Service.
* Bush and/or Cheney under indictment for Iraq war or something related.
I’ll think of more. I like lists.
Don’t vote democrat. You don’t want the country to have a bad case of B.O. for 4 years do you?
Suprise birthday parties!!!! That sounds great! Who’s gonna pay for them though?
Ok, so completely off topic, but Orson Scott Card has this awesome piece condeming journalists for being blatant democrat talk machines. (By the way, Card is a democrat, and a journalist.) Read his piece here.
I’m certain it’ll be a surprise all right, but only in the sense of something like a surprise heart attack or “Surprise! You have gonorrhea!”.
quote: “I WAS THINKING”
see that’s your problem. your brain laundromat is too hungover from ignorance, so when you say you been thinking its like washing cloth that has shit in it, shit has no where to go so it always stays.
Wow, 16. That was clever…
Oh joy. A marry poppins idiot. Phony IRL. Maybe a Chicago IP?
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Mine is more clever, Alan.
Of course it is, Jimmy. Compared to these sub-morons, how hard could it be?
I’m still trying to make sense of marry’s analogy. My experience with laundering clothes shows that the offending matter is indeed removed from the fibers of the cloth. Perhaps Ms. Poppins needs to do some appliance shopping, or change the water in the bucket she washes her clothes in.
Am I overthinking all this?
I want a slice of rhubarb!
Am I overthinking all this?
Indeed you are, PaleoMedic. The key is to turn off your brain. I haven’t quite figured out how to do that, though. Go ask a liberal.
Paleo, maybe her name is actually Mary Poopins.
Getting back to kansasfarmboy’s extraordinarily serious statement:
“I never dreamed my kids would not have the opportunity to lead a better life than I have had. Now I think it’s a real possibility if he does get elected.”
I’ve been trying to think of how to apologize to my own sons in their 20’s. This isn’t the world they were born into or the one I intended for them. I feel like going to war to get it back – a war where ‘old guys’ kick a$$.
I’m in the same boat, Jimmy. My older son just started college at a great engineering school, and my younger son ships out to Fort Benning next June to become an Infantryman/Airborne Ranger in the Army. I am deeply worried how an Obama presidency could affect them just as they are entering the first formative years of their lives as men.
We are standing at a fork in the road, the left one leading to darkness, the other leading not to the light, but certainly to a less forbidding place. McCain as CINC would get rid of the sense of impending doom I feel. His numerous policy flaws aside, at least I would know that my sons have a fighting chance to take this country back.
Paleo, congratulations on your sons. If you’re like me (and I suspect with good reason that you are!), you’re proud as hell of them. They’re your best work – ever.
My oldest is an engineer and my youngest is an Army pilot about to tour Afghanistan. I just got back visiting him at Fort Campbell and got to meet some of his stick buddies. Quality men, they are. I see in them the makings of a new “greatest generation.”
Your last paragraph is more eloquent than I’m capable of at the moment. Consider yourself served with a virtual drink – and the best to you and yours, sir.
Check out the movie “No Way Out” and replace Kevin Costner with Barry O.
Jimmy,
I’ll hoist a pint to you and your family tonight. As for the new greatest generation, hell yeah! The Boomers won’t know what hit them.
Maybe Obama’s surprise will be a Scooby Doo revelation, where he is tied up in heavy rope and the rubber mask is pulled off to reveal…
“Karl Rove!”
POTUS does not need a security clearance.
He HAD to start assembling his transition team early because none of his friends could ever get one.
To date it’s just him & Powell . . .
I suspect Mary Poppins is a hippy. Hippies are notorious for their lack of knowledge about laundry, bathing, hygiene, politics, economics, everything really. Except illegal drugs and high risk, deviant sexual practices.
My cousin and her husband, both self-proclaimed “lifelong Republicans,” early voted this week for the O. *sigh* Guess I failed at trying to help them see the light from what I learned here/Rush/PJM/MM. This really disappoints me, because they are nice people and fairly shrewd otherwise. They said they researched both sides, but Bill’s lengthy email diatribe on the reason for his decision had to have come directly from Barry’s website talking points and Kook-Aid intoxication – total MDS (McCain Derangement Syndrome), globull warming, etc. They did say that they both like Palin; I guess not enough to vote her ticket though. Oh well, there’s two others I know in my office voting R, so that should at least cancel out their votes.
I wish I “felt” better about either one winning week after next, but even with my gal Palin in the mix I’m not there yet. Sometimes I seriously wonder if what we’ve been seeing within the past few years are Biblical signs of end times to come, Soon. The way the rest of my life has gone, bring it on.
Sorry everyone for being a downer. I’m not sure this post is on topic, I just needed to vent a little.
On a brighter note, nice to see AlanABQ back here. Have you been away or have I just not noticed your name on recent posts?
You know, I’m pretty flexible in Eschatology, given the rather abundant use of imagery to convey meaning in prophetical texts, but I’ll have to agree with Nunya in his assessment that maybe, just maybe, we need to look up, for our redemption draweth nigh. And with that I release a heavy sigh from betwixt the rock and the hard place.
It all started with the media.
Friends don’t let friends contribute to NPR ( National Propaganda Radio).
Darn it Herpules! I wanted to be the one to mock the hippy for being so slow that she was outsmarted by soap. I guess those suds are quite confusing when you are stoned… Maybe she is French? Oh well, next time.
NunyaB, you reminded me of another IMAO poster I used to enjoy reading, but have not seen in ages. Echo5a, are you out there?
He’s not a spy. He’s a demon. Although they have similar tendencies, they usually have a different hierarchy. BO reports to the head guy personally, a spy is much further down the corporate ladder.
We should be excited. We’re getting one of the best Satan has to offer. We should be proud.
But on a happier note:
Isaiah 57:3-13 (God is speaking)
“But you – come here, you son of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?
…
I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you.
When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you!
…
But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain.”
BO couldn’t pass the background check to get into the FBI, let alone the Oval Office. The media snorts approbation at BO with virtually no scrutiny regarding his lack of qualifications, questionable birthright, and radical associations? Oh, right…being black is qualification enough, so there.
Perhaps Barry isn’t an Islamic “sleeper”, but is an angry, arrogant, self important and easily manipulated stooge for those who hate America and have the $$$ to back him.
How did a fatherless, abandoned, unremarkable student turned community organizer become the darling of the liberals and hope for the world? Who picked him out of a crowd of better (non white) choices for the highest office?
Could his campaign be a Trojan horse plot to bring more division in a country already split between “us and them?” Martial law may become necessary whether he wins the election or not…let’s hope we will have the birthday party instead.
