I dunno, but I remember reading about a number of inner-city types who were disappointed they didn't have a reason to riot when the Kenyan got elected.

No. As much as I hate the Kenyan, I do not believe that the election deserved riots in protest.

No, he hadn't done anything yet. Protesters would just be right-wing versions of leftist tools.
Now is the right time for protests. |

He got the popular vote. Am I happy? No. But just because someone you didn't like is President, doesn't mean you go into rebellion anytime you don't like the election results. We aren't a bunch of fucking savages.

Quoted: Do you think there should have been massive protests (like the ones currently going on in Iran) here in the US after Obama was elected? Keep in mind the ACORN factor. No.... He won legitimately, by a margin that precludes a stolen election. 'ACORN' may be a popular excuse, but since we have the electoral college it is VERY hard to steal a Presidential election... ACORN cannot do thinks like make Virginia go 'blue'.... So Overseas-style election riots/proto-revolutionary activity is not justified... Now, CIVILIZED protests like the tea parties, against his POLICIES - that is VERY MUCH called for... |

We aren't a bunch of fucking savages. I completely agree with you! A friend of mine was telling me that there should have been massive protests because of all of the shit that Obama got away with and how the media chose to ignore it, for the most part. |

Yes, and before since eligibility was never proven.
eta: Funny how many of you call him the Kenyan, yet think no protest is in order. Guess you are only calling him that in a joking fashion. |

By the time Obama is done doing what he does best(destroying America)there will be a mess that will take at least a couple of decades to fix. And that time frame is extremely optomistic. The time for major protest is NOW.

There was no legitimate question of eligibility, and no law stating what 'proof' he needed to submit, or to whom said proof must be submitted... Congress has the authority to enact such a law (Nessicary & Proper Clause) but has not done so at any time in the history of the Republic.... The deranged rantings of a hillary-supporting 9/11 troofer do not count as a 'legitimate question'.... |

Protest on that scale will only happen here only if any one or a combination of the following happen:
TV signal goes away Grocery store runs out of food Fast food joints run out of food Government checks stop flowing |

Seems that even Kenyan officials and obama relatives were claiming he was born in Kenya until they found out such a thing would make him ineligible for the office. Rumor has it that 400,000 people now have signed a petition to see his documents (long BC, school records, passport). Why spend millions of $$ to hide info that divides the country if you have nothing to hide? I know this topic has been beaten to death here already, so no reason to go down that path again. This is just my reasoning for my stance. |

What would have done if the liberals were so pissed about Bush getting re-elected in 2004 and decided they didn't like the results and tried to overthrow it?

Wanna bet? All it takes is politically naieve constintuants, and super corrupt politicians to pull it off. The power of Wshington has grown to the point where it can do basically what it damn well pleases. You yourself have said so many times(almost gleefully). I love how your posts in this thread resemble alot of your other posts. "Move along folks, nothing to see here".

It's much more than not liking the results. It's a culmination of everything gone so wrong in this country and even if it was only 25%, that's not a little amount of people. You can side which way you like obviously as you have and we each will, but more people are deciding they've had about of enough of the same old same old everyday. This is not liberals were seeing getting pissed off either, nor am " I " plotting or planning anything anti-government. I'm just saying in discussion. Who's getting pissed off though have teeth, unlike liberals. Oh, I'm sure there are riots coming, but I doubt as "tame" as Iran's were. |
