. Look for the comment by "still a palin girl" (link is there so that you can verify this comment, which I find hard to believe).< />< />Here it is: Comment by still a palin girl< />January 20th, 2009 at 1:06 pm< />< />The whole thing makes me nauseous. When we have war on our soil during his time in office I will at least be able to say, “I didn’t vote for that moron.”< />< />Now to me, that looks like she's HOPING for a war on our soil, so she can say she didn't vote for Obama. And that's sickening. Even if she isn't, she would still use an attack on America as an excuse to tear down our national leadership when we need it most. < />< />< />Here's the thoughts of some totalfarkers on that comment:< />Diogenes: queezyweezel: I like the "still a Palin girl" quote: At least when there is war on our soil during his term, I can say 'I didn't vote for that moron'.< />< />WTF? Is the far right that whacked out? Yes, we are doomed to invasion by a foreign power in the next four years....Um, Who.... Our Navy would decimate any attempted invasion.< />< />"I want this country to suffer another 9/11 so I can gloat."< />< />What a nice lady.< />< />I think they pretty much called it. A military invasion is pretty much out of the question. We're still the worlds only megapower. The only attack that has a chance of landing on our soil is a terroristic one, and that is no time to be indulging in partisanship.< />< />Did anyone, right after September 11, 2001, say anything as stupid as "At least I didn't vote for Bush."? I should sincerely hope not. What we did is rally together as a country, liberals and conservatives alike. And that's what America should be about. But people like "still a palin girl" aren't about that. And that horrifies me. Good on you, AD, for reminding me that there are plenty of good people left in this country.< />< />(In the interests of neutrality, I should also say that I was disgusted with the moonbat "not my president" leftists, too. It just so happens that conservatives are the ones who lost this election, an so they're the group with the wingnuts displaying this behavior this time around. If the Republicans win the next election, you'll see me here in four years decrying this behavior from the left, too.)

Hear Hear, AD.< />< />As a staunch Republican (but one that Huckabee claims isn't a real one) I have been weary of this whole dreary mess since before Reagan left office.< />< />We have way too much work to do to deal with this. Whether or not you agree with him on any given topic, there are intelligent and effective ways to differ. Whining, being a jerk in public, "personality" politics, and all the divisive, obfuscatory BS that has been part and parcel of the functioning of the highest parts of our governmental process for so long are not among them.< />< />I also want to point out to arcanai, that that is not how the president is addressed in all cases.< />< />He's addressed as "Mr. President" to his face. He's referred to as Mr [last name here] when he's not acting in an official capacity like signing a bill, or President [last name here] when he is. The line between those last two is quite fluid in these modern times.< />< />There is no strict federal code for this; the use of the word President for the position is all that's in the Constitution. The customary usages were all setup by George Washington during that first presidency. The point was that the name itself wasn't to be glorified, but the office, and even that was to be given short shrift.< />< />The disrepect shown to President Bush wasn't in what they called him. It was in the rest of the text.

AD, I agree. I will support him so long as he fulfills his duties under the US Constitution, while opposing any policies I disagree with, using the soap, ballot and jury boxes as appropriate.< />< />And I will not do it Moonbat/BDS style. I have too much self respect for that.< />< />Of course, should he ever step out of his Constitutionally mandated limits, he is no longer our president and all bets are off.< />< />My loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any one branch of government and whoever is holding the seat at the moment.< />< />"Who determines what is right? Does it come down to the majority, as with any supposed democracy,"< />< />We are not (thank the deity of your choice) a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic where the desires of the majority are limited and moderated by said constitution. "Rule of Law" IOW. Pure democracy is nothing more than legalized mob rule.< />< />"or will you yourself be the final judge to what is right and wrong?"< />< />Yes. Just as you are for yourself.< />< /> "If that's the case, what happened to the vox populi?"< />< />Limited in it's power in this country since 1789. Which is a good thing. See my comments above.

< />< />(thanks to AJ)< />< />And: "If you can support the troops but not the war, then I can support the country but not the president."< />< />I have vowed not to go leftard BDS, mainly because I was raised better. But I won't be stared down, marginalized, stop paying attention, or stop working to make this his only term. I pray fervently that there will be an obvious better choice to the electorate in '12.

"Who determines what is right? Does it come down to the majority, as with any supposed democracy, or will you yourself be the final judge to what is right and wrong?"< />< />When it comes to my vote, I determine what it right.< />< />Isn't that the way the sysem is supposed to work?

"I'm going to give him a chance to get it right..."< />< />Who determines what is right? Does it come down to the majority, as with any supposed democracy, or will you yourself be the final judge to what is right and wrong? If that's the case, what happened to the vox populi? < />< />I admire your willingness to put partisanship aside, as both McCain and Obama had asked us to do. However, I'm worried that you still feel as if only your views are the correct ones, no matter how many other people would disagree with you.< />< />I think by "getting it right," there is no true guage for all Americans, but in your case, I hope he at least does good enough by your standards, whatever they may be. All I ask is that you give the people a chance, too; give Americans the chance to get it right as well.

AD - I see your wonderfully expressive and well-meant post has been gobbled up by a pack of pit bulls. < />< />Thank you for your post. I found it insightful and interesting and full of heart-felt intellegence.< />< />Luckily, life is not so black and white as reading through these comments would make you think.< />< />So let's all be respectful and fight the fights when they need fighting and not before the first shot is fired.

Jesus, the same debate EVERY time. Well, claiming that you will give Obama the same treatment Bush received implies that either you are as biased or stupid as you claim the "left" are or that perhaps those tactics were appropriate for the "left" to use. Either way its not a great position to have, and not effective in influencing people who are critical thinkers. As to the 2nd Ammendment. It clearly lists out rights, the Supreme Court can handle protecting them. If you think it can't point the finger at Regan, GHB, and GWB as much as at Clinton and Obama. I see 8 years of Democrat presidents and 20 years of Republican ones. On the brief abortion reference just above, how about everyone who does care about life getting behind a few condoms for stupid teens to PREVENT the problem for a change?

"...but the amendment never did because of the traditions set forth early on..."< />< />I've never heard the freedom from oppression described as a tradition. < />< />Then again, maybe this fits with the description of killing fetuses as family planning.

"A well regulated Militia..." was written before the existence of a Uniform Army of the United States. From various sources it seems our founding fathers never intended to have a standing Army, but a volunteer Army to be called up in times of need. the situation changed, but the amendment never did because of the traditions set forth early on.< />I support and will defend to the death the right of the People to keep and bear arms, but when was the last time someone killed 30 people in a knife attack?< />< />Justin in CA

Over his presidency, President Bush took an average of 64 days of vacation per year, or 12 weeks per year.< />< />He was on vacation 34% of the Presidency. That's disturbing.< />On a different note:< />The comments in this section actually support the statements made by Obama that when certain people feel misrepresented, they become bitter and cling to their guns and religion.< />Never has there been an assault on the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution. I do ask everyone to read it before suggesting that owning a fully automatic 30 round clip weapon somehow is defending their family.< />Great way to get the discussion going Ambulance Driver. we need more discussion on these topics.

I should clarify my "Bull****" post above. I was not intending to imply that Obama is a muslim or terrorist, simply that he has openly declared us the enemy, and pretending that he has not is as dangerous as a journalist going into an islamic terror training camp and expecting to walk out again.< />< />I don't see where there is any room for doubt about his intentions or how he will try to run the country. The things he has said, the things he has done in the past, and the things he has promised to do.< />< />I should also clarify that I am not right wing. I think Bush has eroded civil rights quite a bit as well - the "patriot" act and all that. I honestly think that Bush, McCain, and Obama are all on the same side, they just have different opinions about how fast they want to turn this nation communist.

I call BS! I'll give him the same respect that they gave Bush.< />< />I'll write more letters urging my reps to stand for conservative values.< />< />I will do everything in my limited little corner of the world to advocate the Free Market and capitalism. I will attempt to shed light on every socialist action he or his "team" presents.< />< />I will defend the constitution whether he does or not!

Well, I am PROUD to say that I VOTED FOR OBAMA!!!< />< />With the choice of Old Coot and Hillbilly Woman - what choice was there?!< />< />And I am a gun-owning "hillbilly woman" from Kentucky . . .< />< />Even though our Country needs someone with the slightest bit of intelligence to run it (ahem, after dim-wit Bush), the rest of the World also needs a reason to come to respect us again as well.< />< />I didn't agree with any ONE candidate whole-heartedly, but there were FAR FEWER things with which I disagreed with OBAMA on - and the changes that he has made in 2 days are re-affirming as well.< />< />All that said, it is funny to see bloggers that I LOVE (ADA, that's you), and who I will continue to read, so different from me on the political spectrum! Just goes to show, religion and politics should never be discussed among FRIENDS!!!
