But now, only four weeks into the presidency of Barack Obama, they are back -- angrier and more chest-beating than ever. Actually, the mere threat of an Obama presidency was enough to revitalize them from their eight-year slumber, awaken them from their camouflaged, well-armed suburban caves. The disturbingly ugly atmosphere that marked virtually every Sarah Palin rally had its roots in this cultural resentment, which is why her fear-mongering cultural warnings about Obama's exotic, threatening otherness -- he's a Muslim-loving, Terrorist-embracing, Rev.-Wright-following Marxist: who is the real Barack Obama? -- resonated so stingingly with the rabid lynch mobs that cheered her on.

This would be Hilary's title; except of course, changing it to Princess or perhaps Queen.
It does not matter who is president. I actually admire this one for his oratorial expertise and chesire grin. Quite the change from the last one.....eh..
Orders are given and strings are pulled by call this group what you will.
Those who golf have personal caddies.
Peace...

Enter Obama, sweeping on the american political landscape like a spring storm. Screaming "Hope and Change". Yet 66 million of the electorate did not vote for him. Their values and convictions differing sharply from Obama's.
Within a short 100 days obama has set into motion what many of those 66 million see as extreme radical ideas.
He has taken over private industry (banks, GM, Chrysler) beginning the take over of health care, spending trillions of future tax income for generations,
bowing to saudi princes
appologizing for just about everything america has ever done in the world.
He is openly speaking to many long time enemies of america as if they were allies.
Is america heading for socialisim? Communisim?

Im sorry this is it? This is all you have to say in reply? Is this the result of you having nothing further to back the garbage posted by the OP?
Really if the only excuses you folks got beyond "socialism" is "kool-aid" well then my job is done here. Really good luck trying to get to folks behind that computer screen of yours, sure as hell helped make anything happen over the last few months.

Why is it that all these anti-Obama threads are started by the same three or four people? Does anyone else find that odd? Seems to me that certain people on here have a personal beef.....

Are they? I hadn't noticed that correllation. Maybe certain people want to get other people's attention on the subject like every other post on ATS?

They absolutely are. There is a specific group of posters on here who start these threads and then attack anyone who disagrees, saying they drink the kool-aid, they are brainwashed, etc....
When faced with factual information, they immediately take it personal. It is a fairly prominent trend.

Well, I'm here for the fun and mind expansion exercises. I love to learn - even if it is the hard way. Perhaps my own ideas will be reshaped, perhaps not. But I'm new to ATS and not yet aware of the underground politics of it all. Aside from all of that, I just love to hear what the personal views on various topics are by an assortment of "thinkers".
