-Courtesy of the poster boy for The Fans of the American Downfall, our very own WhoZIT.

As much as I criticized the current administration, I never WANTED for them to do something that would hurt this nation just so I could do a told-you-so, I think the attitude that eagerly desires Obama to fail miserably is patently un-American at best, and near traitorous at worst. I have been told that I hate my country because I've disagreed with war & torture policies...so what is it when you actively want to see your country crash & burn, huh? Patriotism?

I call for peeps who said they want to see our country fail to apologize, but more importantly, I want Whozit to take that stupid bagel comment off his sig!!!

Both you and Whozit just can't imagine anybody other than you: angry, righteous, vindictive, and gullible. I understand that you're pissed off and you're looking forward to the day when you can say "I told you so", but it ain't gonna happen because IMHO nobody can possibly f*ck up any worse than Bush has already done.

Of all of the liberals, libertarians, progressives and moderates on this board I can think of a lot who dreaded Bush f*cking up and who were pissed off about it, but NONE who said "Yeah! We want the crazy bastard to do more!" So guys and gals, are you really looking forward to seeing Obama f*ck up for the sheer pleasure of being able to say "I told you so"? Don't you think that's being anti-American?

I did not vote for Obama (Ron Paul's my man!) but I fervently hope he is able to repair a lot of the damage that has been done the past eight years. I predict he is going to be a lot more conservative than his campaign would lead you to expect. For anyone to hope for the opposite is downright sickening.

You and many of your liberal friends displayed this attitude on regular bases in this thread. That’s why I hated the whole hate bush mentality; it was a fundamental desire to see America fail – to see the economy fail – to see the US military ventures fail. I find it rather hypocritical that now you try to turn the tables.

During the Bush administration I would have loved to see Bush, Rove, and Cheney destroyed, but not America. By destroy Bush I mean jail.

Jilted Republicans right now are psychotic and childish. Very much the "If I can't have you nobody can" destruction mentality. They are all in withdrawl. The symptoms they show are because they no longer have access to the Presidential teet in thier own minds.

Hopefully the destruction mentality won't agitate too many James Earl Ray Republicans, or a desire for the economy to get worse. They have a need to rationalize the idea that Bush wasn't the worst decision of thier lives.

Absolutely 100% NOT.

I saw Bush taking us over a cliff economically, Constitutionally, and militarily. I wasn't looking forward to it, I was frantic about it. I hated Bush BECAUSE I thought he was failing America... and because under him, I thought America WOULD fail. And indeed, it has. Putin's prediction about Iraq ("Iraq will be your Afghanistan") sadly came true.

Now, you and I have very different notions of "fail". To you, to failing is "losing a war". Your notion of patriotism is IMHO anathema to the Constitution. Your vision of America is very different from mine and, I think, gravely shortsighed. But I have never said- and neither has anyone lese here- that WE thought you wanted America to "fail". We may have disagreed with your goals but we've never impugned your motives.

But you, Whozit, Rapo, BDN and a boatload of other right-wingers seem to have absolutely NO PROBLEM assigning anyone who disagrees with you with the basest of motives. In your mind, we can all hardly wait until America is tottering on its last legs. It never crosses your pathetic, feeble minds that maybe we have a different vision than you, but that we ALSO want what's good for America. You really think that you, and you alone, love your country, and that you and you alone know what's best.

Yanno what?

you.

That’s so much Bullshit, it’s pathetic. Maybe they hate Obama because they see him as driving America over the cliff? Oh and by the way, the hate Bush crowd started before he was even in office, so nice try.

All of the sudden all the hate Bush crowd who spent years accusing anyone who didn’t outright despise Bush of being a “jackboot” are now masturbating to this new administration. God these people are sick.

As far as the hate Obama crowd - I'm as surprised as you are that a man with socialist leanings and direct connections to domestic terrorist and racial supremacists would get elected in this country, but for whatever reason he was elected and elected fairly as our president. I personally support him as our president and I hope you will too. Whatever you do, do not become like the twits that are now desperately trying to regain some shred of credibility.

It's one thing to say I hate Obama because he's bad for the country.

It's quite another thing to say I hope he fails the country and even worse to say You and many of your liberal friends displayed this attitude {hoping Bush would fail} on regular bases in this thread and are now masturbating to this new administration.

Who the f*ck do you think we are??? Every progressive that I know is looking at Obama with a great deal of skepticism. Every progessive that I know was frightened of what Bush was doing this this country. NOBODY was cheering him on hoping he'd ruin the Republican Party and the nation! You have got to be effing sh*ttin' me if that's what you really think!

More importantly, who the f*ck do you think YOU are, to be telling us what we're doing and how we're feeling? You obviously have not a friggin' clue, and you're just arguing to the voices in your head.

Well, I'm from Texas, so already had reason to criticize him. Hate is a very strong word, and I rarely use it to describe my feelings toward another person. I never used it against Bush, but I certainly hated some of his actions.

Please AUrapter, show proof of any liberal wishing for America's downfall as blatantly as whozit has. I don't recall anyone here ever saying: "I really hope we fail in Iraq and our economy crashes just so I can point the finger at Bush and drink the tears of his supporters!" The only people who might have muttered those words are the likes of Bill Orally, falsely representing Bush critics.

As for ad hominem:

ad ho⋅mi⋅nem
1. appealing to one's prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than to one's intellect or reason.
2. attacking an opponent's character rather than answering his argument.

Whozit's desire to drink tears looks to be a product of emotion and prejudice, with no logical argument at all. It's all about whozit's need for personal triumph. Chrisisall's statement is a logical argument: failure of Obama means failure of the country, and wishing for such a thing is truly unpatriotic. Criticize the Obama things you don't like, sure! But wishing for his complete and utter failure is ridiculous.

All of us who 'hated Bush' were saying - Look what he's doing to the Constitution ! Look what he's' doing to our freedom ! Look what he's doing to the economy ! Look what he's doing to the US's standing in the world ! Look what he's doing to our security ! Look what he's doing to the middle class !


And you know what ? WE WERE RIGHT.


None of us were saying - by god I hope he does more and puts us deeper in the crapper than we already are.


As for you right-whingers (you too Finn), you are worse than pathetic. Bush was an abysmal failure and all you can think of is that you want Obama to fail too. No matter what it means for the country.

The problem with that is Harry Reid and others like him, including Obama, were claiming that the war was lost and surge had failed long after the surge had become a phenomenal success. What Reid and others like him, such as many of the twits on this board, were trying to do was turn a success for America into a failure, because they hated Bush.

And the problem with that is how you don't seem to understand that people have different definitions of *failure*. The goals set down at the onset of the surge were not being met, and Bush was, as usual, shifting those goalposts, redefining success to make himself look good. Reid disagreed with that, as did many others. Didn't mean he hoped for it - it's just how he saw the situation.

But that certainly is debatable, since I can see that you define success differently, and in the end you want the same thing I do: America doing well.

What is NOT debatable is your suggestion that Reid hoped for failure in Iraq. What you quoted is in no way comparable to what whozit (and others) are doing here. The comparable thing would have been if Reid had said, in 2003 when the war was just starting, that he really really hoped Bush would flub it up just so the Democrats could throw a helluva party.

"Break out the Jack and savor the tears of mothers losing their children by the tankload, because as long as Bush fails it's all good for me!" Wouldn't you be pissed as hell if anyone had said that? And yet it doesn't bother you when whozit says pretty much the same thing?

Not much reading comprehension there, huh Finn?

No matter how bad things are, and how much they go down the toilet, as long as it's Bush's policy you insist it's a success, right? Unlike those who want actual success, as in the end of war, the honoring of the Constitution, personal freedoms upheld, and a healthy economy. See - real success. Not the selfish immature delusion that the likes of you and whozit cling to.

Hello,

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding amongst some people about what America is.

Some people see America as all of those people at the top, those people in charge.

I think America is all of us, here at the bottom.

Some people think that if you abhor the people at the top, you are therefore hating America.

I think that if you abhor the rights and needs of the people on the bottom, you hate America.

And then there's other people, still.

These people believe America is US, and they despise THEM, and when THEM is in charge, they hope to see everything fall apart. That way US can return to power.

It's their wish to see THEM fail, and US succeed, and it escapes their notice that THEM and US together are what forms U.S.

We all boom or bust as one.

Again I quote Nate Silver, because it just fits Finn so well:

"[This is] in a nutshell, why conservatives don't win elections anymore. It is not that conservatism generally permits less nuance than liberalism (in terms of political messaging, that is probably one of conservatism's strengths).... There are a certain segment of conservatives who literally cannot believe that anybody would see the world differently than the way they do."

No wonder these types of right-wingers are so often fearful and paranoid. Anyone not exactly like them is the Enemy. Poor Finn. What a scary world he must live in.

Seriously!

Hopefully the destruction mentality won't agitate too many James Earl Ray Republicans, or a desire for the economy to get worse. They have a need to rationalize the idea that Bush wasn't the worst decision of thier lives.



But of course, you wanted Bush to go to jail for not breaking any laws, but when it comes to Republicans, we're all wanting to assassinate our President, not just throw him in jail.

Amazing

By definition, anyone in Gov't who wants to " spread the wealth " is a socialist. Governments aren't the source of any real wealth, they simply take from the citizens. When there's talk of spreading the wealth, it's the taking from the rich to give to those who'd likely vote for the party in power.

Sorry Mal, but your delusions , of what those of us who didn't vote for Obama, don't determine our views toward him, even a little bit.

You posting " 0 for 1 " doesn't make it so, especially in light of how you fail to even TRY to elaborate and defend your position. If anyone struck out on 3 straight pitches, it's you.

You're a hypocrite for saying you want Bush in Jail, and then turn around and vilify anyone who isn't an Obamamaniac.

and your mischaracterization of why we don't like Obama can't be expressed in terms of how bad his policies are, but instead you have to cling to the " RACE " card, w/ the reference to " James Earl Ray Republicans ". Either we love and obey blindly the new Presidenrt, or we want to murder him. That's how you see the world, huh?

Sorry missy, but if Obama lives to be 112, I'd still want him to serve 1 term in office, not because he's black, but because I DISAGREE with his politics and know they're bad for this country , ESPECIALLYN NOW!

The Left has been going totally apeshit over Bush ever since his name was announced as a Republican candidate back in 1999. No amount of criticism of Obama by the Right, whether sincere or politically biased, could ever even register on the deranged-hate syndrome scale that Liberals created and perfected with Bush. But that's their big problem now. Little left to hate, and little to love about Obama's picks for his Administration. Who knew that Obama's famous "HOPE", and "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" was just campaign jargon for bringing back the Clinton Follies to America. Thanks Barack. I'm sure Hill & Bill will continue to provide endless fun and fodder for the media vampires to sink their pathetically useless teeth into every night.

Y'know, I was gonna say I missed you bein' around on the other sci-fi movie thread, but you started it off with political shit, so I held off.

And now this.

You are doing EXACTLY what I don't like NeoCons for doing- forcefully positing the idea that your perception is so correct, so free of flaws, and so much the gospel (in the face of facts that contradict it, yet) that you can somehow not feel stupid making a statement like that. You severely disappoint me, Finn, you've degenerated into that which you profess to hate, a hater. And the very fact that you START a sci-fi movie thread with that shit is so telling of your anti-left obsession...I don't remember the last time one of my threads about movies started like; "The new Indy movie must be making Bushites happy 'cause Ford pronounced nuclear 'nuc-u-ler' in the debriefing scene!"
Also, having fun using various forms of the word 'masturbate' in EVERY thread?

If you've come back just to display your resentful God-complex as it applies to your political unhappiness even before Obama takes office, why don't you just continue your sabbatical until you're back closer to center, and in a better mood, eh? This maniacal right-wing shit sounds so childish, and not something I ever would have expected from you in times past.

If this is just temporary, cool. I can't say there weren't times I went off MY rocker with pure emotion & nothing else to back up my angry words...

So you want me to leave because you don’t agree with me? The appropriate response to that would be “Fuck you,” that’s beneath me.

You conveniently ignore the fact that I’ve already stated that I support Obama as our president. I’ll disagree with him, just as I disagreed with Bush sometimes. But I won’t accuse him of being a sociopath or a terrorist because I disagree with his policies. I won’t call him stupid and idiotic, and wish for a US failure to justify that disagreement, which is more then I can say for you and all your twit friends. So attack me all you want, but you made your own bed, and if you’re not man enough to see that, then that’s your own lack of intellectual honesty.

And you know, after bearing for 8 years the fanatical hatred of Left-wing Bush hating twits, I think I’ve earned the right to tell you off. And the truth is that it won’t be long before I’ll be trying to reason with and criticize the statements of Obama-haters, and when that happens I don’t want you to mistake that with me coming over to your bush-hating twit side. You lost your chance, but maybe I can reason with the Obama-haters. Maybe in four years when the next president comes in I won’t have to tell them off, and that will be the ultimate victory over the Bush hating twits.

Like I said, now the mask comes off, and you folk are seeing the TRUE face of these people, that party, and what they're made of.

Something I occasionally provoked them to do even when they were all so interested in trying to hide it.

This is what they ARE, people, what they've always BEEN, and it is indeed why I am so blatantly nasty to them.

Never fucking forget it - the next time you see some right-winger playing nice, trying to worm into the good graces of the american people while stealthily reaching for the levers of power, remember what's under that mask.

Unless by some miracle they come up with another Eisenhower, the hard-right end of the political spectrum is completely doomed, and frankly, I've known it since I started making "blood in the water" comments long before the election, now you folk are just seeing the last panicked flailing as they reveal the truth of themselves.

So, no comment on why YOU felt it necessary to drag politics into an SF film thread, eh? Intellectual honesty my ass, Finn. You are just as human as the rest of us, and totally unwilling to admit it. And it's reassuring to know that you CAN'T come up with a quote from ME concerning glee & broad predictions of a failing United States. I've regularly stated that I'd hoped I was wrong, and in one case I was SOOO happy to be so (My prediction of martial law before Bush was out), nowhere did I spout seeming happiness at something Bush and/or Cheney screwed up for our country.

By definition, anyone in Gov't who wants to " spread the wealth " is a socialist. Governments aren't the source of any real wealth, they simply take from the citizens. When there's talk of spreading the wealth, it's the taking from the rich to give to those who'd likely vote for the party in power.



So you agree that Bush and company are socialists, then. After all, they've taken money from the citizens to give to Wall Street - how is taking from the poor to give to the rich any LESS socialistic than doing it the other way 'round? Either way, you're "spreading the wealth". Thing is, for eight years and more, it's been being spread upwards, and you haven't had a bad word to say about it.

Yeah, when the beer flows my Liberal friends get rather somber & introspective regarding politics- none of the "We really kicked their ass!" stuff, more like "How do we fix this mess?" stuff. Pubs seem to like the Football thing when drinking, lots of cuss words & liberal-bashing, I conjure. Progressive types want to move on from here, non-progressive types seem to want to get endless payback.

That's how I see it, anyway.

I actually used to respect that about you, but then it occurred to me that you don’t. You just put on a show to slip out the back door, and in the end it never sinks through. You admit you’re wrong, but as soon as you think someone is not looking you’re back to the same crazy rhetoric. Instead of lying to me, I’d rather you just be honest with me, and just tell me that you’re going to be a nutcase whether anyone else likes it not. Would have saved me a lot time. You notice that I very rarely argue with Frem, because he’s honest about his fanaticism. He’ll tell you right up front that he’s a nutcase and he’s happy with it. He might not use those words, but that’s basically what it amounts to.

But it's still a form of socialism, if your entire definition of socialism is that it takes money from you and gives it to others based on their perceived "need".

What 'Rappy and his type don't get is that we already HAVE socialism in this country. OUR money goes for police, fire fighters, hospitals, the military, the national parks, public education, and more.

I didn’t use the phrase “pal around.” That’s your phrase, not mine. But yes, one can associate with a terrorist without being one. I would think that would be obvious.

I’ve never accused Obama of being a terrorist, but that he has connections with at least one domestic terrorist is without question. So that’s all a part of the hypocrisy and dishonesty of the Bush haters that drives me nuts. Some of you accuse Bush of being a terrorist with no justification other then disagreement with US foreign policy, then you get defensive when someone suggests that we should be more skeptical of Obama who actually has real connectiond with a real terrorist. I don’t make that statement based on any agreement or disagreement with any policy of Obama’s or the US – it is simply a fact.

Reminds me of the reporter on the neocon cruise, which someone posted on a thread a while back. I forget who, but it was fascinating. Let me google it...

http://www.alternet.org/story/57001/

Relevant highlight:

They rush through the Rush-list of liberals who hate America, who want her to fail, and I ask them - why are liberals like this? What's their motivation? They stutter to a halt and there is a long, puzzled silence. "It's a good question," one of them, Martha, says finally. I have asked them to peer into the minds of cartoons and they are suddenly, reluctantly confronted with the hollowness of their creation. "There have always been intellectuals who want to tell people how to live," Martha adds, to an almost visible sense of relief. That's it - the intellectuals! They are not like us. Dave changes the subject, to wash away this moment of cognitive dissonance. "The liberals don't believe in the constitution. They don't believe in what the founders wanted - a strong executive," he announces, to nods. A Filipino waiter offers him a top-up of his wine, and he mock-whispers to me, "They all look the same! Can you tell them apart?"


I would have thought that the idea of Conservatives hating America, wanting her to fail, was a similarly shallow myth. Until whozit did his thing. It's really quite sad.

I don't call Bush a terrorist, just a war criminal.

Semantics aside, the difference between Bush and Obama would be that Bush has a history of extremely questionable actions. You know, actions. Things he actually DID. Started an unnecessary war. Condoned torture. Spied on American citizens. Gave away no bid contracts to his pals. Oh, and destroyed our economy with his dumb-ass economic policies. He has done things which invite criticism, whether you accept the invitation or not.

Obama merely visited a house once years ago, on business completely unrelated to killing people, and the fact that you cling to this little bitty event only shows the depth of your desperation.

Really, it's pretty close to pathetic.

Obama had connections with someone who broke the law & destroyed property; Bush IS a person who, through his directions, blew up people, justifiably or not.

I see, so apologizing for the President is only defending the status quo if its Bush, because Lord, thy God, Obama is too righteous. And a man who bombs a city to impose political change is only a terrorist if he's not associated with Obama. That’s actually the single worst apology for the status quo I’ve ever heard. Even the narrowest minded Bush advocate couldn’t come up with something that blind in support of an administration.

Well, certainly YOU are whitewashing it.

And you, like Nixon, seem to be just fine with it; if the president does it, it CAN'T be illegal.

Collateral damage is not a terrorist tactic, nice try. Actually, it’s not a nice try, that was sarcasm. It’s actually pretty stupid. But of course, if you plan on defining that, then Obama is a terrorist too, since he’s the one responsible for the collateral damage now.

Ah, now it’s time for the hypocrisy – let’s hear all about how the rules you define apply only to Bush. All the rules change when your guy is in office, don't they? That's the twitism.

But for the last eight years (arguably the last twenty-eight)the right-wing has been in control. (Even the swing to the democrats two years ago barely slowed them down, as they used the power of filibuster to block any attempt to dampen their perceived "mandate".)

What's the result of that social experiment? A two-front war that has made our enemies stronger, (A result which, Goddamm it, could have been avoided if we hadn't split our forces to attack a country that had Jack Shit to do with 9/11!), an economy in smoking ruins, and a total abdication of the moral high-ground.

(That last is the worst part to me. Never mind that torture is morally wrong, it's inefficient! Intelligence obtained under duress is always undependable. If you're going to be evil, at least be effectively evil. I don't think Obama's the second coming, but maybe he'll get the stupid people out of intelligence.)

This act, more than any other, shattered any remaining credibility you might have had around here, which very frankly, isn't that damned much due to your repeated base lies and attempts to shovel the most laughable propaganda as fact even in spite of folks like me having, and sharing, absolute proof that those statements were false.

The scum you supported isn't gonna come to your rescue, having no use for the fools stupid enough to have supported their pending disaster in the first place, and the folks telling you all along these disasters were coming have even less sympathy for you - and the pathetic flailing and lashing out of you and your ilk has lead prettymuch the entirety of RWED to actually *enjoy* baiting you like one baits a cat with a string of yarn, just to watch you foam and fuss cause your own actions and those of the folk like you have reduced you to outright laughingstocks, a mere joke no one even pretends to take seriously any more.

Mal,

My views aren't downloaded, they are my own.

I'm not gullible enough to fall for cheesy one liners Obama has dished out, nor do I agree w/ his political views , that the Gov't needs to 'spread the wealth', when I know damn well that's code for " steal from those who earn to give to those who don't ".
Are you saying you'd wish Pawlenty or Jindal would have been President instead of Bush? Don't know enough about Pawlenty, but Jindal will have to wait his turn. Seems he wasn't OLD enough to run for President in 2000.

You got 1 thing right, it's hard to tell when a Liberal is joking, what with all the absurdity flying around from the Left. Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, and the like, I use to laugh at the crackpot things they were saying to, until I learned they weren't kidding.

First of all, don't HATE Obama. I just would prefer he weren't my President. Skin color is irrelevant. But that you think his color is an issue, don't tell that to the NAACP, who all but called him a cracker, because he shares no slave blood and wasn't " down with the struggle " , until he won the White House. Now they're cool w/ him. Further - I hate abortions because it kills humans. ( At least 1/2 of those are women, and you speak of women's rights? - Odd that you'd murder so many , for this concept of 'freedom ) I don't hate gays, sorry, that's just more of your simplistic mind being overwhelmed - again. You can't separate an issue on its merit , so you act like a 5 yr old and say " I just hate blah blah blah " . Sorry, you're wrong. I hate poor people because I hate taxes ? I don't think you thought that one out too much. But I do hate excessive taxes and bloated, intrusive Government. True. Freeing mankind from oppressive Governments is a noble cause. You'd prefer millions stay enslaved to a dictator, I happen to see things differently. Not being a Christian, I find your remarks funny.
I'd wish other countries would give their people as much freedom as we all have, here. I gots no reason to control them.

I have been told that I hate my country because I've disagreed with war & torture policies...so what is it when you actively want to see your country crash & burn, huh? Patriotism?

As far as Whozit not talking about fucking warm bagels, I'm in total agreement.

No they don't, and saying that they DO is twitism.
See. my main, and I mean MAIN problem with ya Finn, is that you had NO OUTRAGE over your boy Shrub officially sanctioning torture. Right there he chose to join ranks with the likes of Hitler, and YOU saw no problem with that, well, none that you voiced strongly, at any rate. See, if my own FATHER voiced an okay for Bushie's torture agenda, I'd count him in with the armies of darkness. That's the point where you lost most of your credibility with thinking peeps here, IMO.

In fact, you lost credibility on the whole board. AND every other board, even ones you don't frequent. Oh, also, God lost some faith in you as well...but no worries, Satan still loves ya!

Oh gee, am I being a bit grandiose here?
Could there be a comment or lesson in this?
