Willful meet Ignorance.
I watched it, i enjoyed it because I enjoy hearing Obama speak, but I didn't see anything remarkable or ground-breaking. It was your run-of-the-mill SOTU, somewhat subdued and less specific than years past and certainly nothing like Clinton's 1995 speech. Obama continues to show that he's the adult in the room, which is why is his approval ratings are going up now that he's got a bunch of loons in the opposition. Even Rasmussen now has Obama at a 52% approval rating with a -5 strong disapprove, his best showing since 9/09.
I enjoyed it too. He was very good tonight as he clearly showed he has command and focus of a president in charge and who knows how to lead and lead well.
It certainly helps that he's followed by a woman who doesn't know when slavery ended.
She is a joke. I didn't watch her, I would rather watch adult Congressmen or women than a pretentious and ill informed tea flea like her.
Mikey,....I personally do not mind your vested interest in the various organizations you participate in. Yet I know its true,....is Fact* as discovered by Norman Dodds 1950's congressional reece commission findings into the Foundations. I cannot support that path. Obama is a Wallstreet drop in to the Whitehouse. That,...is to be resisted!
I am not sure what your point here is you wish me to address or clarify. I spoke in general on how I felt Obama did in his speech tonight, and how well he preforms and who runs against him will determine if he gets my vote or if indeed I will vote in the 2012 Presidential election. I am very unhappy with many things about how things are done in the world and the USA and why they do things that way. But from my vantage point your post is kinda all over the ball park. So clarify please, thanks. I notice in lurking eLPee a we bit ago you are a poster there, did you or are you a poster at TOS? Just curious, mind you.

So clarify please, thanks. I notice in lurking eLPee a we bit ago you are a poster there, did you or are you a poster at TOS? Just curious, mind you. First,...and its not to be rude I listed out the Socialist Foundations history...so that others could go google that themselves if in doubt. I mentioned your public service interests so as to let you know I had read about that,...and thus mentioned my Eartherness : ) There are of course people who are simply Democrats who voted Obama cuz they hate Bush Crime family,...do not want wars,...do not want the nation doing the fascist thingy on everyone in corporate graft,...and to the peoples at home. I know Obama is a Banker cut out. Tragically....I see Obama as a Foundation cut out and a wrecker. America has to throw both these false houses off.....or its gonna end up actual conflict mirror the Revolutionary war. Being selfish,....it is my hope to help those on the left see the false foundation banker front. But still,...that Globalist North American Union,...SPP Continental Reich thing circles like a Vulture.
Thanks for the clarification. The only thing I was left unsure of is whether or not you are a U.S. citizen or Canadian. I will answer this tomorrow as I'm on wifi, tired and the joint I'm at closes soon. I also find LF a somewhat difficult forum to lower my guard in and relax and post. There are many here who turn the place into something much like a Junior High recess without supervision place. And I find doing relaxed, thoughtful posting where people have consideration for others including ideological opposites something that is more like swimming in molasses than water. I have been hoping to see a few good conservatives join The-Peoples-forum.com as the ideology is no barrier there. But testiness, distrust and contentiousness from both those joining, and some already there have made that hard to see happen. I cut my posting teeth on open forums where people of all political stripe belonged to the virtual community, and I have seen that work really well. And I miss that. It would be nice to see you there, and I would guard your flanks as I did with Sneakypete when he visited should you want to join onto the mix at another venue. But that is up to you, and I will leave it at that. I am skilled at forum posting and never expect to see someone whom I engage in discussion to be converted to my point of view. I know it's always wise to aim at the lurker element. And the hardest part of posting at TOS, eLPee and other venues was to learn to really be quick to put on the verbal brass knuckles. I am very laid back by nature and my posting start-up self of 1995 would be quickly chewed up in a joint like this one. My real time activist activities are a big part of this tempering of my political skin too I should add. Tim McCarthy (no relation) a Eugene Police sergeant whom I know well was quoted in the second article in the local paper after I nearly died in my fall said -- and I paraphrase -- "Mr. McCarthy has often criticized us at EPD and the local government, but he has also praised us when he felt we had done good work." I appreciated that, and I prefer to try to always value anyone for agreement, disagreement, or even the good and bad about them as I am always mindful I am human and not perfect too. I posted on TOS for years because if this balance, and only when the joint to an unmercifully hard turn to the right and took a one track minded eye to the interests of those they spin politically for was I banned there. Though really to be fair, Time.Com/Politics, my favorite forum had just been closed and I didn't help either by occasionally being snappish to some there because of my sadness to see the Time magazine venue close. None of us are perfect, though we soon learn in forum to be careful to act like we are. ;-D In any event, that is just to frame out my perspective which is a very easy thing for me to do as I am always mindful of how I want posting venues and people to be v. the way they are currently in the context of the Internet. Have a good night and I'll get to answering the political points of your post tomorrow. Cheers.

The-Peoples-forum.com is as close to that free thinking environment you will get that is from the old right wing pre George Bush. With that said, sneakypete - and I know his posting history from way back, went crazy by sticking around Libertypost too long and taking on their bad habits. He lost his ability to argue a point without insult, etc and I can see spending time on there caused him to lose his faculties. Sorry, sneaky. That is how I see it. I pinged you as a courtesy only. I am not seeing a response from you because I know it will be lame and predictable. You, can surprise me of course and reform yourself but I doubt it.
Sneakypete has a right to his opinions. And he is not abusive, has a delightful sense of humor and I have known and trusted him since the mid ninties. He has lost nothing in terms of his abilities to be a responsible poster. If he decides to return and try to post at the People's Forum again, be advised I will defend his right to be there. And if people are inappropriately ugly toward him, I will be ugly right back.

I did not see that good side of him on Peoples-forum. He was given probation period and he insulted the forum moderator for having a different opinion than her. He went kook-berger is my guess.
Insulted her? Bull shit. "Jim Robin" is an editorial comment with humor to it. He was expressing an opinion that Robin was being petty as Jim Robinson toward him. As someone who has talked to Robin and who knows she does not begrudge him being there, and merely made an honest mistake she corrected in how she tried to initially change someone else's cutting him to three posts a day to ten posts a day, I disagree with Pete. But that is the problem; people get so angry and defensive it is only human to assume the worst. I am guilty at times of doing the same thing, so I sure don't speak down to anyone in that paticular regard. But I do take seriously the obligation to defend anyone's right to speak even should I disagree with them. Pete was banned when he first joined Free Republic because the overhead thought he was bull shitting about his military service as a Special Forces trooper who served honorably and who went to Vietnam. The S.F. community current and former corrected this and he was reinstated. I have never seen Pete not say what he honestly believes, and he is never out to screw with anyone just to do that as a Yukon or a Mad Dog would. And I am former S.F. too and consider him brethren.
Robin was giving pete many chances. It was others who cut him off. His third post on peoplesforum was overtly racist in tone - not enough to get banned but enough to make him look like a dick. His forth post on there was in defense of Senator McCarthy's withc hunts - ok his opinion - but still dickish. By his 6th post he is accusing posters of being commies By his 7th or 8th post he is calling other posters "stupid" and then he got worse and he started calling Robin clueless idiot because she disagreed with pete's warped view of reality. I think Pete lost it because he was asked to back his nutso thoughts up with facts and he had no ability to do that. My guess anyway for why he went into meltdown like that. Sorry,the peoples forums is not a place for that kind if discourse. Here you can be a pig not not there.
You kind of blow your point by descending into derogatory references. I agree that The People's Forum has a strict no ad hominem policy. But attacking a person new to a forum as aggressively and unmercifully as Pete was based on the rule differences is hypocritical. It behooves people supporting a strong no ad hominem policy not to be too aggressive, quick to judge, and act with an obvious motive to get someone they don't like banned instead of following the Golden Rule to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I read the thread, and there was a decided move to give this veteran the boot as soon as possible. A negative attitude about him was more in play than the desire to uphold the forum rules.
Mike,IMHO,most of them did it because they had bumped heads with me in the past on other forums,but felt safe in going after me on the People's Forum because they had strength in numbers there and felt sure others would flock to their defense and get me banned. They don't want to hear opposing ideas. They want the safe and comfy lies they are using to hearing. One of the most ludicrous posts I read there was somebody posting they were mostly conservatives that had been ran off other forums by radical right wingers. That was the equivalent of hearing Helen Thomas say she is a beauty queen.
Pete, I know for a fact you were welcomed enthusiastically on People's Forum by someone who then asked you be banned when you started your rude behavior there. So you can spin it all you want but I know the story.
As I recall, Sneaky wasn't banned, he was restricted to 3 posts a day, and then that was raised to 10. Also Sneaky had a couple of staunch supporters despite his behavior.
That's correct and keeping him on was very much Robin's call against the wishes of others - and he still bad mouth's Robin as a Jim Rob when she was fighting against his banning. That's Sneakypete's view of the world (which he has every right to) in a nutshell if you ask me.
That's Sneakypete's view of the world (which he has every right to) in a nutshell if you ask me. You just never get tired of lying,do you? I called her Jim Robin when she restricted me to only 3 posts a day for unapproved thought. She later admitted she had done that by mistake and had only intended on restricting me to 10 posts a day for unapproved thought. Which is better,but still not free speech. Which isn't surprising since the socialists on that board are big fans of European governments,and none of them have the freedoms we have here. Other than Russia,that is. Russians even have the right to possess private weapons now. How freaking ironic is THAT?
How freaking ironic is THAT? When did that change? I was looking into this about a year ago, and at that time it wasn't allowed... at least, according to my research.
How freaking ironic is THAT? When did that change? I was looking into this about a year ago, and at that time it wasn't allowed... at least, according to my research. It was made a part of their new Constitution after Yeltsin was elected,and signed into law in July of that year. I WANT to say July 4th,but that may just be wishful thinking. It may have been on July 7th. One of my friends over there was (he's dead now) a professor at a local university,and he had to be the biggest gun nut I have ever met in my life. The first time I met him in person was when I was invited to dinner at his house,and after dinner he plops a big book down on the dining room table and says,"So,tell me what guns you have." When I started out with Browning Hi-Power,he said something like "Oh,yes! That is page 936!" and opened the book to that page so we could discuss it. He knew the exact page number of every gun I mentioned. When I asked him why a gun freak like him only owned a pellet gun instead of a real gun,he got serious and told me "It may be a trick! They might tell you this now to sucker you into buying one,and then change the law in a few years and then arrest you for it!" Vladimir grew up with a father that was a Major in the KGB,and tapped his own phone to make sure nobody in his family was doing or saying anything that could get them into trouble. Paranoia wasn't a mental illness for people who grew up in the old Soviet Union. It was a survival trait. BTW,I MAY be wrong,but I SUSPECT you might have to become a Russian citizen before they would allow you to buy or legally possess a weapon there.
http://www.russianhunting.com/planning-your-trip-to-russia/ There are no problems bringing your rifle or shotgun into Russia. Handguns are not allowed. We will handle all the necessary formalities to obtain the permits. This may take up to two months and will require informing us of the make, model, serial number and a caliber of the weapon. You are allowed to bring 2 firearms and 100 rounds of ammunition for each weapon. Lead shot is permitted on all waterfowl hunts. Shells for waterfowl hunts can be bought in Russia. The gun permit will be given to you at the airport by one of our staff who will help you clear customs.
That's for tourists coming into Russia to go hunting,not resident aliens living in Russia or for Russian citizens. There was an attempted bank robbery in Russia about a year after Yeltsin took office that I remember reading about in the St.Petersburg Times. A bank robber came into a bank in one of the smaller cities and when he stuck his gun in the face of one teller,another teller picked up her Makarov and shot him in the head. The response of the local police chief was "Good shooting,huh?",and he did mention she had a legal right to own the gun.

I really really enjoyed my time in Oregon,....I'd love to have a place on the coast and watch the fog sit till near noon,...with the heavy cedar fragrence in the air.
Before my retirement/pension/disability.,
I spent decades in the bush,climbing mountains,photography.
Ya,...I do not want corporations running around despoiling all that.
and so recorded by him to G Edward Griffin.
That from 1908 [there abouts] Carnegie Foundation sought to entangle America in foreign wars to reshape the nation.
and that the nations Judiciary and Education should be taken over by the Foundations,..and then lists out other Foundations participation.
So ya,....it is a socialist agenda which openly states the USA is to merge with the Soviet Union.
That is a coup,..and is against the very heart of the US Constitution.
It is an act which is done without consent of the Public,..and then becomes Intrigues as Politicians lie and conspire against their very own people.
The Foreign bankers and US Jeckyll Island Fed are conspiring against the nation.
Freedoms are dissapearing ...from overt EPA/UN Agenda 21 practice,...to the fake war on terror and Homeland Reich.
America is getting both socialism and fascism now.

I generally post in a form which speaks to lurkers on threads,...with board participation secondary.
So ya....thats fine with me.
Recently however,....I've noticed a few real die hard Commies show up at LF and gloat.
Some others who appear mild socialists,..I suspect are raging commies too.
Obama becomes the litmus test in my opinion as to where someones world political views rest.
He's either Karl Marx champion we can do it.
or just another Democrat in the game we call American politics.
I would luv it if he were truly independent,.....A Black Man leading the Nation
Just as Black Pharaohs ruled Egypt.
Blacks have been thru hell in their journey called America.
they so deserve to have a Black President.
and....Americans all should support that.
He's a wrecker just as Bush was.
Both do as told....
The Elites play every paradigm possible
Obama is not doing what he said he would,...he lied like Bush,...and the wars continue,...Gitmo,..the Banker looting,...all of it.
This time....the Goob will be King George.
I try my best to be on the square.
I was run off from TOS for exposing Bush crimes.
I'm disliked at LP for that too.
Yet,...I'm the real deal,....and if the left does not like my view or opinion they are free to challenge that.
Canada is a socialist country with capitalism and the Queens power reach.
the Gov is put in by Elites,....recently,...the Liberals run one feeble goof after another.
Of course conservative socialist/stay the stauts quo Canadians will accept some foreign war and Harper,..over the weak opponents offered.
so its the same game as Mclunatic/Palin,....its set up to be an uncontested win for Obama.
Just as Canada's elections usually are quiet endings.
Soon Canada will be faced with adopting Napolitano Homeland Reich.
They have allready been trying to sneak that in,...with whistle blowers at least getting broad media attention to counter and wanting it debated in Parliament.
