Responsibility

The right-wing media said Obama wants to ban assault weapons.

Obama wants to ban assault weapons.

Looks like the Rev is developing a Glenn Beck obsession. I guess that's easier than defending Obama's policies.

I never heard about any Copley meeting.

Charles Johnson over at "Little Green Footballs" [a conservative website] seems to suffer from a similar obsession, King.

"I want to take your guns away" doesn't sound, to me, like "assault weapons should be banned."

Do words have ANY meaning anymore? Or, is it that phrases only have to contain, like, one similar word, say like, "gun"……to make them equal?

Strange communication technique.

I have no Glenn Beck obsession….he's simply the wingnut flavor of the week. The Republican spokepeople wingnuts are very similar to Baskin-Robbins…..they come in many flavors, but they all have that creamy-wingnut consistency.

While on the subject of wingnuts, has anybody else noticed the striking resemblance Karl Rove has to a pig?

You do realize that by attempting to demonize television and radio commentators you just drive up their ratings? You feed into it more than anyone who actually supports them so you are more responsible for it than I am. I have never and will never watch the show.

By your own logic you should be silenced for the good of the community because if you can't critize Beck his ratings will go down and there will be less people being influenced by his opinions.

If you need evidence of this audience increasing factor just look at what our, "highly intelligent" President did for Rush Limbaugh.

Aren't there any real issues to talk about? I'll give you some ideas; the economy, Somali Pirates, the Y bridge, Obama caving on farm subsidies.

T-bomb. Yep. Mr. Porker.

If propaganda, especially hate-infested propaganda, already proven to be dangerous in a couple killings, is left unopposed…..then the entire country will know nothing but hate-infested propaganda. If it's necessary to shine a light on the rats in the corner to, you know, eliminate them…..then shining a light on these rats is the first step necessary in ridding ourselves of such an infestation of hateful propaganda.

And I'm not demonizing these guys. They are actually demonizing themselves. I'm just asking questions about what they're saying and what they're doing.

At least Obama has learned not to try and start an ugly public bickering match with the wingnut flavor of the week. He's still smarting from his run-in with Boss Limbaugh.

Rev says, "I want to take your guns away" doesn't sound, to me, like "assault weapons should be banned."

It does if you own a gun that is classified as an assault weapon. What do you think an assault weapon is, a vegetable ? No, it's a gun. And you're ignoring all the other gun restrictions Democrats have in the pipeline.

Tbomb says, "has anybody else noticed the striking resemblance Karl Rove has to a pig?"

Yes, I have. You got something against pigs ?

Has anybody else noticed the striking resemblance David Axelrod has to Adoph Hitler ?

And Rev, if you aren't obsessed with Beck, why are 6 of your last 7 posts about him ? I realize you are just reflecting the moonbat faux rage distraction du jour, but this is getting ridiculous. There must be something to talk about other than a talk show host. How about a scathing criticism of game show hosts or movie critics ?

Are you kidding me? "Anyone know anything about more who attended?" Why? What are you going to do hunt them down and make their lives hell for standing up for what they believe in?

My nephew is fighting for your right to do what you're doing right now. Being a jerk. Our country is going to the dogs and you're worried about what Glenn Beck is doing. Have you ever stopped to think that anyone who may follow what he says, they have a brain of their own and use it according to their own will? Oh, no…wait a minute…you're one of those leftist Obamagod worhipers. So when your new god isn't doing so well, you're going to lash out at the next best thing that your tiny brain can't even begin to comprehend. The true American Dream.

So, let's talk about something/someone other than Glenn Beck. Your obsession.

I Googled "Marxism", just to see what would come up. And you know that extra anoying bar that comes up with the search at the top of the page? It was full of Obama's name. Why do you think that is? Let's examine it.

Marxism is a declaration of war against God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is all-out warfare against the truth. They cannot tolerate the culture of America, the culture of Christendom–so they have to turn it on its head and create a culture that's anti-Western and anti-Christian. This is the essence of Political Correctness. Sound familiar?

Socialist mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrate poser and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, creates an unequal society, and does not provide equal opportunities for everyone in society. Therefore socialisy advocate the creation of a society in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly. Sound familiar?

Marxist and Socialist are so closely related that when both are Googled, Obama shows up in that anoying bar at the top of the page both times. I'm not making this up. Try it for yourself. And while you're at it, take a look at a Socialist site, you'll learn a lot about yourself.

Our government, Obama is now our government, is doing everything he can to turn this country into a Socialist Country. His own Treasury guy Geitner, wants the Treasury Dept. to have control over "all businesses". Geitner feels that with this control they can go in and close any business they deem unfit, sell off any business owned property, and call it a day. Socialist advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy.

Let's talk about this bull that 90% of the guns in Mexico come from America. NOT TRUE! The guns that are being used by these drug cartels are "assult riffles". Not your average glocks. (I'm assuming you know what a glock is.) The cartels are using riffles that are "military" issue. In other words, you cannot purchase these at your local gunstore or even a gun show. These are riffles that you can only purchase through the government. They aren't ak47's, they are government issued. The guns that are being traced back to the US are only those that they bother to trace. And have you asked yourself how many of those have been stolen? Of course not.

Let's talk about Harold Koh, up until a few weeks ago he was the Dean at the Yale law school. Obama, wants him to be Chief Council of the State Department. Good idea? No! Why? Have you done your homework on him? No, you haven't.

Mr. Koh, is an Internationalist when it comes to law. He believes that our Constitution is outdated. He believes that the United States should go with whatever the law of other countries are at the time on certain issues, including Sharia' law. Is that who we want in charge of the State Department?

It's already bad enough that the UN Human Rights Council has passed a resolution that anyone who says anything bad about Islam can be arrested and possibly put to death? Oh, you must have been asleep at your compter keyboard when that one was passed. Or you simply don't care. Will it ever come around to being carried out? If the congressman from Mass. that was sworn in on the Qur'an has his way, it will be. Are you aware he's doing everything in his power to get more Muslims in the White House?

I have nothing against Muslims who've "denounced" the death scriptures. And seeing how I've educated myself by reading the Qur'an. Trust me, 90% of them have nothing to do with them protecting themselves during a time of war.

That's all I have to say, for now. Hope I've given you more to talk about than Glenn Beck.

Happy Easter, for this is the day that our Lord Jesus Christ rose.

Good stuff Veronica. It's amazing when you look at the communist planks and the socialist goals, how amazingly close we are right now, isn't it?

Such a pretty name, Veronicalynn…..

Thank you for getting that off your shoulders. The Reverend is always here for you.

Just a couple of quick questions….with Fox News, alone, spouting the word, "socialist", or equivalent, 20-30 times a day…and with hundreds of Obama's opponents writing daily, calling Obama and his plans "socialistic", with Republican members of Congress throwing around the word "socialism" at every opportunity…..why would it be a surprise to find many references to Obama when "socialism" is Googled?

Do you think that the Pittsburgh, assault weapon using, cop killer got his guns through the Mexican Army too?

But to your opening sentence about the Copley meeting that I referenced, the one where the guy, you know, talks about burning books. There was very little information available about the meeting online….but since it was out in the Copley area, where the Creationist Fossil Museum is also found, I speculated that, perhaps, there was an active nest of wingnuts in that specific area.

Once again, thanks for commenting.

And the Copley wingnuts should be rooted out and silenced?

No, larry…not rooted out and silenced. Exposed to the light, perhaps.

Criticized in print? Or recorded on The One's Database?

The potatoes are too small for The One's Database…..but, you know, something like Dyer's takedown of the Creation/Fossil Museum exposing the idiocy that infects local wingnutland…..would be a good thing.

Oh, an article based on false premise.

Science and supernaturalism are compatible.

That's the false premise. And it's not mine.

Hey R,

This will be the only time you are referred to as "rev", because a name like that in my book should be given, not taken. So from here on out, you're simply, R.

Fox News has NOTHING to do with me ref. to your Obamagod as a Socialist or even a Marxist. It's called me, Veronicalynn, using the brain that the good Lord gave her. If you had a brain, you'd know that I'm right.

How anyone in their right mind can think it's right that the government take money from someone who's earned it, and give it to someone who hasn't, and think that it's right is totally beyond me. It makes no sense!

It does however make me wonder how old, or young, you are. To me that sounds like some twisted sense of entitlement. Like the kids today who've been coddled by their parents so much they believe that they shouldn't have to work for anything. Guess what, I wasn't raised that way. Most of America wasn't raised that way.

What incentive (please excuse any poor spelling) does anyone have to work if everyone is paid the same? NONE. (Sounds like Communism, but wait, doesn't Socialism lead to that)

Why should Sam write a best selling novel if most of the money [he] earns is taken by the government and passed out to everyone else? He's the one who worked for it. He's the one who went to college to learn how to write the novel, not those other people.

If you're so unhappy with the way America is, why don't you and your little buddies just leave? Those of us who are proud of our country are very happy here. We're happy to work our butts off for what we want. Not all of us want everything [handed] to us.

Oh, the guy isn't the one who mentioned burning books, it was the "ignorant" woman who said it. That, I do not agree with. At NO time in America should books be burned. But, we are talking about YOU. And only YOU would hear the burning books part.

All of the Glenn Beck programs that were spliced together were taken so out of context. He NEVER said he "couldn't" debunk the FEMA camps. He said the exact opposite. You people are so funny you're sad.

R,

"Not rooted out and silenced.Exposed to the light perhaps." Who do YOU work for, ACORN? What are you, a NAZI? Or are YOU one of Obama's new CDC's?

I'm curious. Are you going to see to it that I'm put in the gas chamber because I have MS and at this time cannot contribute to society? I mean, afterall, I am considered to be useless. And I am exercising my right to free speech, which is something that you believe none of us should have. My words are just my opinions, right? According to you, I'm probably inciting people to riot or something. You know, this "free speech" thing that gets in your way.

I'm not trying to be a little smarty pants. I'm just pointing out the way you are coming across to all of us who read what YOU'RE saying.

So, should I be getting a gas mask?

Veronica….I fully embrace your right to voice your opinion, I encourage it.

I don't work for anyone. The end.

FOX calls Obama and the Democrats socialists over 20 times each day. Media Matters keeps count.

The government has been redistributing income taxes ever since income taxes have been around. The rich used to pay 90%, now it's 36%. Hardly a movement towards socialism.

My age, though having nothing to do with anything, is Boomer age. No sense of entitlement either. A self-made guy……not bragging, just sayin'.

No one I've ever heard has mentioned paying everyone the same.

And how proud of the country are you, really…..if you are calling a very popular president a socialist or a marxist?

I watched and listened to the entire Fairlawn video, not just the book burning part. My request for more information…..was just that….a request for more information to illuminate the discussion. Not everything is a conspiracy. If Tea Party gatherings are so, you know, patriotic, then what's the problem with discussing what goes on at the parties?

And by all means, enjoy Glenn Beck and other right-side luminaries. I have my opinions about these guys and you have yours.

Not so on the "I don't want you to have free speech" part….just the opposite.

Finally….no matter what you are afflicted with….I would never, ever use the word "useless" in describing or referring to you. I just wouldn't. You are a valuable American citizen, no more, no less than anyone else. And I mean that.

Veronicalynn–were you the one shouting "burn the books"?

Wow. I knew these people were out there, but here in Akron? Kinda scary. Oh well, as long as they're not next door.

I guess Akron teabaggers don't have the "constitution" to gather outside?

I just read an article about conspiracy theorists and the fact that no amount of evidence can convince them to give it up, because psychologically they have too much invested in it. Like the Obama "not born in Hawaii" theory. The birth certificate didn't convince them because "it was a forgery" or whatever. Oh well, I guess we will just have to live with them.

BTW, the event was at Scorchers in Fairlawn Plaza. I saw it, I thought, in the Beacon Journal. Maybe it was somewhere else. I don't see a lot of beer on the tables; I wonder if they will repeat?

""Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another. But let him work diligently and build one for himself thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."" Abraham Lincoln (R)

There were 300 Tea Parties held in the country yesterday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend, due to illness. All I'm going to say about the parties is this. Dr. Martin Luther King, would have been very proud, for there was no violence. People showed up, voiced their opinions, bounced ideas off one another. People are finally starting to understand what's starting to happen.

TEDDY ROOSEVELT—-ON GOVERNMENT POWER
"We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorable obtained and well used. It is not even enough that is shouls have veen gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active fovernmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmnental control in no necessery."

I'm a Capitalist, I'm a Conservative, I didn't vote for Obama, Am I going to be arrested now?

I don't burn books, I write them. All of us should stand up for what we believe in no matter what the cost. I keep my views out in the open and honest, very straight forward and to the point.

I refuse to agree with anything Obama has to say regardless of the color of his skin. He's still not my brother. Obama supports some terrorists groups in my opinion. This country feel asleep on election day.

God help us.
