RATM, Dee Snider giving Paul Ryan shit about his iPod

Obama wants to transcedentaly downgrade America from the sole superpower to another average power sitting in a round table among the nations of the Earth.

This already happened before Obama was elected.  Fourth-generation welfare blew the wheels off the idea of superpowers.

LOL FYP.

I actually read it that way on first glance.

I don't know about that.  The Soviet Union maintained a welfare state of sorts while still being a superpower.  Quality of life was pretty shit though.

Besides, even if the US was spending a trillion dollars a year on their military, they'd still get beaten by worthless Arabs blowing up Humvees with IEDs and sniping troops in urban areas.  In fact, the more that the US spends, the more vulnerable they are.

Damn those welfare queens in their Cadillacs!

Obama wants to transcedentaly downgrade America from the sole superpower to another average power sitting in a round table among the nations of the Earth. Obama wants to downgrade America, America's economy, America's Army, and America's power. He thinks the "wrongs" of colonization and capitalism (that evil word), have to be set right. He thinks this is for the best.

If he wants to downgrade the army he is doing a really shitty job of it.  I have no idea where you are getting all this revolutionary shit from.  Obama is just another politician.

I am so misunderstood here in Languish.
How come Languish have become so liberal?

America and the Soviet Union and completely diferent nations with completely oppoused ideology, my analogy is on the consequences of these leaders, not their intentions. Gorbachev destroyed a superpower, plain and simple, regardless of his motivation. Very great for us in the West, but all fucked up for the russians that BELIEVED in socialism.

Now for the average American that believe in America as FOUNDED, this is a cataclism similar to the fall of the Soviet Union was for the commies.

Do you guys understand my analogy now?

Did it ever occur to you that maybe when everything around you seems different that the thing that changed is you?  Seriously, where are you getting these ideas?  Is the LT making you listen to talk radio everyday or something?  How do you know what Obama wants?  I don't recall him saying "I want to downgrade America"  Also the US wasn't founded on capitalism as the concepts of capitalism were just being written out at the time of the founding of the US.  I'm not sure you'd like the US ideology as FOUNDED.  For one thing, many of founders really didn't like the idea of a standing military.  You should also look into the first Barbary war where the US captured a city in North Africa then ended up paying the Arabs for a peace treaty anyway.

Siegy, you've gotten a lot crazier in the shit you spout in the last few years. It's not Languish that's changed, it's you.

I mean, maybe you're joking, but the shit you're spouting is about the same as the crazy made-up shit Arabs and old school anti-Semites spout about Jews. It's just a different flavour, but you're off deep in conspiracy lunacy territory.

I think one could make the case that Languish has moved a little leftward since The Great Migration.

Maybe with the Euro contingent, but not the North American.

I'd say the opposite, actually.

Well, Hans did get sent overseas, so we don't get National Review Online on a regular basis anymore.

Nah, not really.

Plus Scip doesn't seem to post about politics any more.  PA was right of center, and he's long gone.  Camper was a centrist, if not slightly to the right.  Probably some others left that I can't think of. 

Meanwhile Seedy has gone hard left, though I'm still not sure if it's just schtick for our enjoyment or if he really means it.  Grumbler seems to have moved a little to the left as well.

And there's definitely a heavy bias on the forum towards Obama among US posters.  Only a small handful of us here ever dare say anything vaguely critical of him.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.  EUOT it ain't.

Other than Seedy, I can't think of anyone who goes about praising the man.

My problem with voting Republican since '08 is I can't stand the Tea Party and can't stand most of the candidates the GOP throws up anymore. Josh Mandel for Senate against Sherrod 'Mumbles' brown? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

So I hibernate. I miss Dubya.

So what's wrong with Josh Mandel?  I didn't know much about him before this year.

[CountDeMoney]

Meh, it's pretty much just me left to to do the heavy work of championing civil rights, the working man's unions and women's reproductive concerns against the rest of you GOPtards-in-Libertarian-clothing Wall Street-asskissers.* 
Jacob will chime in on occasion when he's not busy with his hair and Asian chicks, but everybody else pretty much opts out.
