Nothing I said in my post was "partisan", and neither is my thinking. If you think that, then you obviously don't even know the meaning of
the term, rather you are probably only parroting what you have heard on FOX News or from any number of the pundits who are created and designed to do
the thinking for you, so you don't have to think for yourself. In fact, it is because of the fact that Americans have lost the ability of critical
self thought, that we find ourselves with this false left-right paradigm, lacking any real semblance of freedom and liberty.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, no need to get personal. It's obvious why you picked Rudy for your response - his success at managing the 9/11 attack by the
Islamo-terrorists. You didn't want that to balloon into a comparison with Obama's miserable failure in the Gulf, the issue that will wreck the
Dem's this November and again in 2012.
You are obviously a liberal left Democrat. But that's OK too.
And whoTF are you to say that Americans "have lost the ability of critical self thought"?
The Democratic party and Republican party are just two different sides to the same coin. They only serve to give people a false perception of
the left-right paradigm.
Talk about parroting something you've heard. Do you even know what that means?
Next time, stick with the issue -Obama stunk up the Gulf of Mexico with his smelly farts of inaction. Stop apologizing for him.

I'm far from liberal and I don't believe in the "left-right" paradigm as it is entirely false, therefore I don't perceive myself to be left... or
right. Even if I was fooled by the fake left-right paradigm, I wouldn't be left. For those that are still fooled by the left-right paradigm, they
would actually see me as being right. I'm a libertarian as I believe that the human being is entitled to liberty, something that is completely
foreign to most brain dead Americans.
Also, it's not obvious why I picked Rudy Giuliani, as I just threw a name out there. You can really substitute Rudy with whomever you want, Kerry, W.
Bush, Rumsfeld, McCain, Hillary or anyone else that would be paraded in front of us for the Presidency.
Personally, I don't care about Obama and I don't even like him but if the point wouldn't have sailed over your head, you would have realized it.
The point being that it doesn't matter if we throw Obama out of office because we are only going to get someone of equal or lesser value in office to
replace him, regardless of where they sit on the so-called left-right paradigm. That's how it has worked since around 1913 and it isn't going to
change. It doesn't matter whether they are Republican or Democrat, as both parties are basically the same thing with a few relatively unimportant
cosmetic differences, designed to fool the American people into believing they have a choice or that we have an opposition. If people are still too
ignorant to see that it doesn't matter whether you vote Democrat or Republican, then we have no hope of even thinking about gaining our freedom and
liberty back.
If you allow the punditry to fool you into believing that one candidate or the other is actually going to fight for your interests, then you have
obviously lost your ability of critical self thought. Here's why you most likely allow the pundits to do your thinking for you.
You obviously believe that Rudy Giuliani did a great job on 9/11 and took charge. Why do you believe that, were you with Rudy in NYC on that day? Why
is it that you think he did such a great job? The corporate media? Which station would that be? FOX News, maybe? Maybe if you thought for yourself,
you would see the terrible leadership that was exhibited on and directly after 9/11. There are first responders dying almost everyday because they
were lied to about the air quality, yes lied to. There are residents and employees of downtown who were assured that all was safe to return, when the
leadership knew that it wasn't. Thousands are sick, dying and dead because the leadership were more interested in the all mighty dollar, then the
lives of those they were supposed to be leading. Rudy basically walked around the city, doing nothing useful, while the pundits praised him for taking
charge and all the mindless Americans bought it up without even a minimal effort at self thought.
Also, why do you think that Islamo-Fascism was the cause of the attack? I know the whole "Islamo-Fascism" buzz-word that was being thrown around by
FOX News and only by FOX News (of the corporate media choices), so that was a dead give-away, especially seeing how even if you do believe that 19
cave-dwelling Arabs pulled this off alone, there is no reason to believe that they were fascists or could even be compared with European fascists of
the early 20th century. So, you are basically parroting the term from some pundit that you allow to do the thinking for you. What makes you believe
that they are/were fascists? Could it simply be that your pundit of choice labeled them as such so no need to do the research on your own?
Unless you were with Rudy Giuliani on that day, you can't say what his leadership skills were like, unless of course you take the word of some
pundit, whose very job description is to do the thinking for their viewers. Furthermore, you are foolish if you think that one party looks out for
your interests over the other. They both champion corporate and special interests, at the people's expense. It is the people who still don't realize
this because they lack any kind of critical self thinking skills, that allow them to do it and get away with it. We all agree or should agree that a
government without opposition is a dangerous entity, exposed to the temptation of tyranny, yet due to people being able to think for themselves, the
American government runs without any kind of opposition, completely free from the balancing scales of justice. While the people argue over social
welfare or corporate welfare, welfare is being shelled out. The money is leaving your pocket to enter theirs. They keep you busy with irrelevant and
unimportant arguments while your being cleaned out and laughed at... at the same time. You can't see that your being cleaned out because you have
ceded your critical self thinking skills to the pundits on your favorite corporate media channel, whether it be FOX News, CNN, BBC or MSNBC.
After Bush robbed us blind, the American people went for the "other side" and after Obama robs us blind, we will move back to other side again, only
to be robbed some more. It has been the same cycle since the beginning of the 20th Century. Each time, we're being robbed all the same. It really is
that obvious, if people would only think for themselves and see what is really going on.
