That's all fine and well, but...
We should have been able to figure out most of this stuff without enduring 4 yrs of Obama's incompetence. Do we really need to learn the hard way that half of a term in the Senate does not a president make? When JFK ran for president many thought he would be unelectable because he was Catholic...and yet in 2008 we don't even take interest in the fact that a candidate goes to a church where you hear "Goddam America" from the pulpit! We know less about Obama's past today than any viable presidential candidate. This is in spite of living in a time where the internet is available in nearly every American home. We know more about the early life of George Washington than we do about Barak Obama. One must assume that there is a reason for this. Look, people. Obama is just a cheap door-to-door salesman. The thing about door-to-door salesmen is that you don't know much about them or what they are selling. You buy at your own risk. America stupidly bought from him. We are getting what we collectively, richly deserve. There is no sense hoping that Americans have learned anything from this. Sorry. Any lessons learned will be quickly forgotten the next time someone like Obama comes knocking on our door. It's human nature. |

Here's my list. Nothing new was learned necessarliy, but lots of stuff was confirmed:
The Dark Lord's presidency has shown us the following: 1) The MSM is shameful in their bias. 2) Minorities will vote for anyone. 3) Marxism is okay with the MSM as long as you at least try to call it something else. 4) The tipping point has been reached. 5) The USD is doomed. |

Read.
Agreed. Dismissed. The majority of voters don't pay attention and don't care so long as their team "wins." The next Democratic candidate (whether Obama or someone else) could literally stand up on debate night and say nothing but: I hate America. I will bankrupt all corporations and decare their assets to be national property. I will put a moratorium on births and impose mandatory abortions for any family that already has children. We will cease all warfighting efforts and sell all overseas military assets to the highest bidder. Troops overseas will stay overseas, and best of luck to them. There will be no repatriation or compensation.
I will use Chinese mercenary troops to enforce martial law at home. There will be a strict curfew and first, second, third, fourth, and fifth amendment rights will be suspended until further notice. The remainder of the bill of rights will be subject to executive review and ammended as needed. There will be a new tax rate of 90% for everyone. All private property is now owned by the government. We will provide you with all of your needs. There will be no more personally owned vehicles. You may apply for a vehicle permit to receive one of the approved vehicles on the government list. You will receive no more than one vehicle per family, and you will be limited to traveling no more than 5,000 miles per year with it. The rest of the time, you may walk or take public transportation. Marijuana is now a federally-supplied drug. You will be rationed half an ounce per week, per person. The state of Texas is now a penal colony. All white criminals will be deported there. All black criminals will be given an apartment in NYC. All Hispanic criminals, legal or not, will be sent to Florida. If you are homosexual, you can apply for a San Francisco deferment. White males will no longer be permitted to vote. The only votes that matter will be Native Americans, or persons with a government-issued voter permissional registration card and license. Your voting license is subject to revocation at any time, and will only be issued after executive review. Holders of voter licenses will be permitted two vehicles, one child, and 50% ownership of their single family home. Two voting adults in the same household will be allowed three vehicles, two children, and 90% ownership. Every additional licensed voter in the household adds one vehicle and one child. To qualify for a voter license, you must undergo a federal background check. You must consent to permanent monitoring and location tracking via an implanted GPS chip. You must have completed a 6-year education at a government-approved college, university or other secondary educational institution. Again, white males will not be issued a voter license, but they may apply for exemption if they are homosexual or if they are married to a female, in which case their wife's vote will count twice. Lastly, there will be no term limits for the office of president and congress is hereby suspended. That candidate would still get 25% of the vote. |

You ain't seen nothing yet. They will pull out all the stops to get him re-elected and descend to depths that even Pravda never plumbed. |

As the Liberals put it, Obama didn't run as Obama, but a "brand", logo and all, that told everybody they'd get what they'd want. The Zero brand is going down hard, but has many people still as True Believers in "The Cause" that was promised, but never actually meant to be fulfilled. |

We actually already knew all that, but the herds believed big media, their conduit to most of their information.
We have got to learn that in this socio-political clash, the big media press is their most effective, primary weapon. With it, they can shape perceived reality to their liking. |

Professor Hansen is a fargin genius. I'm reading one of his recent [text] books now: "Culture and Carnage". How the Western cultures, those peoples rooted in Greco-European history and cultural principals have shown throughout history, an amazing ability to go to war and inflict incredible numbers of dead upon their enemies and essentially conquer the World. He shows how the nation states based upon Democratic Principals almost always win the wars, if not the battles and those nations/cultures have the unique ability to utterly destroy lesser cultures He uses about ten of the greatest battles in history to prove his thesis. Very good read. |

You are labeled a nutty conspiracy theorist if you speak about such things, even by some of the members here. |
