Who is this?
Who is this?
He wants to take power during economic turmoil, while promising hope for the nation’s future.
Wants to clamp down on big business.
Blames all the problems on those who are successful, saying they’re greedy and selfish and their wealth needs to be Robin Hooded away from them and given to others not as fortunate.
Proclaims that the evils of capitalism led to the current economic crisis, saying that the current system exploits the “economically weak”.
Gives speeches where, no matter the actual words or topics, people leap to their feet, yelling and screaming in praise. He uses specifically chosen words and catchy phrases to excite the masses, while offering no real solution.
Accuses opponents of being right extremists who will increase the wealth gap to maintain control over the working class.
Appeals largely to the young, ignorant, and impressionable population.
Mandates that citizens have a requirement of civil service.
Wants tighter gun control.
Grew up in a country other than the one in which he wants to rule.
Wants innovation to originate from government, rather than from the private sector.
If you said either Adolf Hitler or Barack Hussein Obama you would be correct.
Now I’m not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is the same as Adolf Hitler, they’re actually quite different. Here are some ways one candidate differs from the other:
Favors merit over Equality.
Favors competition over cooperation.
Strong military.
Realism over idealism.
Nationalism over internationalism.
Against all inclusiveness.
Common sense over theory.
Pragmatism over principle.
Acknowledgement that the government and the Church needs to have a relationship.
These are just some of the views that Hitler had, and not Obama.

Obama Momma
The Honorable James David Manning speaks to the media about Bristol Palin. This message was preached on 2 September 2008.
Obama’s Momma was only 17 years old when she got knocked up.
Double Monkey Standard
“I’ve got to do something here to open this hour of today’s excursion into broadcast excellence. I need to apologize to both Sen. Obama and to Sen. McCain, ” said Limbaugh. “I had never heard of Curious George. Only now have staffers sent me little pictures of Curious George,” he continued.
“So I wish to apologize to both Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. It was not my intent to bring dishonor and guttural utterances into this campaign. It happened. I laughed about it. It was a 12 year old kid’s reaction to Obama, it was told by his mother. I was laughing because I was being polite, but I had never heard of Curious George.”
American Dream
American Dream
There are many concepts of the clichéd American Dream. Former President Bill Clinton’s administration believed the American Dream to consist of everyone residing in America to enjoy comfort and free medical care (Roark 1135). Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed the American Dream to be one of racial equality, as Barnet and Bedau described in their reproduced speech (803-806). Different people romanticize various notions of monetary, racial, and religious equality, diversity, and tolerance. This assortment of liberal ideals has caused the Americans’ accord to stray from the actual dream.
Ideal Society
Ideal Society
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.†In 1776, on July 4, Americans affirmed that they were free of the long-held, yet patronizing view that ordinary people are inept at self-government. These pioneers boldly declared that government is not a supreme entity to which the governed are subordinate, but rather it is an instrument of the people, by which, and more importantly through which, the peoples’ desires are achieved by their own accord.

Virginia Tech shooting source of media jokes?

Are Presidential Expectations too High?
Watching the Nevada Democratic Discussion, it becomes apparent that we expect our Presidents to be experts on every subject. They need to be economists, commanders, educators, visionaries, leaders, cheerleaders, serious-minded,and likable. They must command all issues and have well-reasoned positions for everything. On top of that, we shun change, abhor weakness, and decry dishonesty. We demand good looks, skinny ankles, and good teeth.
Perhaps it’s one of the reasons why so many Media Age presidents have been governors.

Literary Review: Declaration of Independence (Thomas Jefferson)
Thomas Jefferson’s “Declaration of Independenceâ€
Thomas Jefferson is esteemed as one of the most significant figures in American history, despite being misrepresented by scholars. The former American president, credited with a plethora of writings, is most famous for his Declaration of Independence. This political paper is the founding document for the United States of America. Through Jefferson, the Founding Fathers declared their independence from England and the rationale in support of their action (Raphael 117-152). Not generally thought of as a literary work, a few prominent historians have conducted critical analyses of its content, style, and sources. Some scholars focus on the text’s creative technique, while others ponder its sources and their relevance. Americans are wide-ranging in their evaluation of its assignment in the development of the county’s heritage and in their interpretations of its implications. Scholars dedicate a great deal of effort to study the Declaration. However, instead of expounding on the understanding, it greatly increases the amounts and variances of viewpoints.
