Once Ohio was called..I turned the news off..

and I haven't turned it on since..I refuse to hear anything that thug has to say...I cut off my radio today before the chosen one could interupt what I really wanted to be listening to. He's not my president, not now & not ever.

I know exactly how you feel. Deja Vu. You could probably use a good stiff drink or two.

I feel your pain! Unfortunately he is our next Pres and we will have to suffer for it. However, we are on the right side so our suffering will not go in vain. God is watching us and He can't be happy with a liberal pro-choice president. I have no respect for "barry" and I think the truth of who he is will eventually come to light. I just hope too much damage hasn't been done by then. I hope the Dems implode with their "power". We will be in for plenty of "change" but not the change people think they are getting! Hang in there and ignore the idiots on here. The just have always been persecuted! I look forward to what you have to post in the upcoming years!

On the contrary--I think she needs to run from those. Or is it buckets of water that frighten her? Hmmm.

Maybe all of the above. Personally, I think she's suffering flashbacks from her LSD days.

THUG?
Wow, that is kind of harsh. Thus far, I haven't witnessed the any thug like behaviour from Obama and/or the Democrats....HOWEVER, have seen thug like behaviour and bullying from Bush & Co.

Look--Obama wasn't my first choice for President. And I have some serious concerns with his ability and plan to lead this country; But, I think it would beneficial to give him a little slack. If nothing else give him the opportunity to sink or swim. Thus far, he hasn't done anything deserving of the label of "Thug".

I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst---but that's typically how I do things.

If you are talking about me I've NEVER done any drugs. I have also NEVER been drunk. I don't drink at all. So, if you want to continue insulting me. at least make it relevant!

Sure, honey. There, there now , pet. I'm SURE you've never done any drugs, nor have you ever been drunk. Everything's going to be all right. You'll wake up in 8 years and find this has all been a bad dream. Shhhhh.... now.

All this thread has shown is this, we who were not happy with Bush for the last 8 years lived through it sadly but we did . And now we have been given a relieve by the way of Obama, I am not saying everything he will do will be 100 percent as I stated before no one on this thread is perfect, but at least give him a chance.. Some of the posters who are so againist the newly elected president are showing their true colors.. To call someone a thug is pretty low and then to say what about unity, that person Kolu is not making sense... I will not make any nasty mean remarks however those are her words. i know she cannot read them because she has me on ignore, thats fine, I know all the rest are reading the remarks. To put me on ignore, how can she defend herself aganist comments.. Her choice and again when I said suffer under Obama as we have under Bush.. I sincerely hope you know I mean't we did truly suffer under Bush and if you feel that we have chosen a thug to be our new president then your punishment as ours were for you to feel the pain and hurt, but believe me and others you will not suffer at all/ Like sadly we all did for the past 8 years.....

Ok, I'm going to post something I wrote a few days ago....but, make sure you read all the way to the bottom for the punch line....

Disrespectful to the Office of the Presidency
By not supporting our Commander and Chief, I was disrespecting the troops
Told to just leave the country if I didn't like it

And a host of many other things. I thought it was hateful and ridiculous then, and think the same now. All of these people are entitled to their opinions - and in the spirit of free speech, they have the right to express them. I don't think that being disappointed about the way they election went is "Un-American" or being worried if Obama will be a successful leader is "Unpatriotic" -- it's someone’s actions that makes them these thing -- or their lack of action.

What I find sad about the whole thing is that these people that use words like "fear" or "punishment" are missing out on a opportunity - or at the very least looking for a place to lay blame really early in the game. Our country is at a crossroads, and just like our elders did during the Great Depression or World War II, or heck even as far back as when our founding fathers were putting together this country, the success of our society doesn't lie in the hands of who sits in the Oval Office, but in the hands of the people. Education, the Environment, the Economy....it doesn’t matter...the change starts in our homes.

Today you either become part of the process and try and make things better, or you don't. I didn't vote for George Bush and I make no secret that I didn't care for him and still don't. But, in a strange way, I think some of those people that called me names had a bit of a point -- maybe if I hadn't of "checked out" and spent less time being critical and more time embracing the role that *I* play in relationship to the success of our chosen leaders, then maybe, just maybe things might have been a little different these past 8 years...even in the most tiny way.

So basically what it comes down to is -- think and say whatever you like, that is part of being a patriotic American, it is one of the things this country was based on -- but, to act or not to act in contributing to the success going forward, that is a different story altogether.
Now, that I've been somewhat tactful and tried to be reasonable, I've decided to go another route....

You are nothing more than a sad, pathetic, bitter dolt....that is if you continue to wave this "I didn't get my way, so I'm going to choose to whine about it and keep my TV off....because god forbid I show a little decorum and class...or at the very least want to stay informed."

And yah, that was name calling. Just in case you missed it...

Sad.
Pathetic.
Bitter.
Dolt.

I say, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck.....Quack, quack sister...quack. QUACK!

That's just funny, in an ironic way. When George Bush was awarded the Presidency (at least you know your non-choice was elected fair and square) I was amazed and thought to myself "please, just let him get out in 4 years without doing too much damage". Funny that, in retrospect.

And as for the Dems imploding with their power....you might want to take a look at the Republican party and their "mandate". Now THAT is an implosion!

In the spirit of fair play, you need to dial it down a little, too. I think we will all be better off as a country if we follow the example of both McCain and Obama....if you notice, they both speak in a very somber tone. This isn't the time for a party...it is the time to get focused and get back on track.

The "nanny-nanny-boo-boo-ing" from either side isn't working.

You guys must have missed the memo. We aren't allowed to associate pure, race baiting kathy w/ the klan. Last time I asked if she had a cross to burn the people she follows around like a puppy dog had a freaking FIT. I guess the show must have fit a little too well, been a little too tight.

Kathy,
It's all good; and don't worry about the neg rep you gave me. The positive ones far outweighed the neg.

Oh and by the way, it's reprehensible.....since you weren't sure how to spell it.

If there is a moderator on this board that picture should be removed promptly. How embarrassing for someone to sink to such a very low level.

I am doing a different approach. I will continue fighting against the Democrat way of doing things.
I will work within the grassroots system to try and bring more "fundamental, conservative" Republicans into office.

No, it is probably embarassing for you who has sunk to a new level. You brought up the crime/race issue.

Shoe fits and all that.......

Do you guys really think that what you are doing to Kathy is ok? Let's just say she is racist. ( and I think it is equally repulsive to sling that term around as it is to be one ) What possible purpose does it serve to act like a bunch of 3rd grade bullies. Unbelievable. It makes you worse than what you are accusing her of.

And for what's it's worth I'm NOT a racist anyway! Just because a few people on here can't handle some true statistics they need to label the person stating the facts as a racist.

Melissa,
I think that it is the same thing that was done to Catherine. And for the record, I don't think it is worse than what she is not only accused of but has pretty much admitted to in action and in word.

All I know is that I'm not touching this one....I'm just going to stand back and stay out of the line of fire. I got my own trouble brewing.

If this were the first time KTS had shown, what I'm guessing is some extreme racial bias, then yeah-- this probably would be bullying.

I have only read KTS posts that have been quoted, as I chose to put her on my ignore list....but she's made some pretty racially inflammatory comments.

I don't know what was "done" to Catherine because I ignore her posts. As soon as I see her name I fly right on by. Maybe some of you should try that....

Well if she only reads quoted posts ya think maybe some of it has been taken out of context??????

Yes, you keep saying you are not a racist, but you continue to post racist posts. Plus you haven't made any attempt to change or apologize for any of them. Even in context, they are racist, inflamatory posts. Crazy, isn't it?

Total Johnson County inmates: 125

Number of African Americans
in jail: 48

% of African Americans in
jail: 38%

% of African Americans in
Johnson county: 3.65% (most recent census 05)

Sorry if you can't connect the dotes to see a problem in this particular county. It is what it is. The papers back it up. The public defenders office statistics (quoted above) verify it also.

Let's see if you can post the facts you say you can post.......from your paper names that are AA which proves that the crime rate is rising in your town due to the influx of AA. Simple. You have done none of it.

Oh, Kathy, dear...you forgot to mention the names you saw in the paper that verify who is doing the crime....black people with black sounding names....that was the racist part, hon.

You know, if someone is a certain way they should at least own it.

I'm a bitch on wheels....I own that.

Kathy's constant denials of her racism while posting about how everything that happens in her area is because of the blacks just got to be too much for me.

Was the poster out of line....probably.

Am I sorry? No....I'm a bitch on wheels.

I am personally so sad to think that while it is 2008 , we are still talking about racism here, truly truly sad. I am truly wondering if the newly elected president Barack Obama was white would people still hate him and call him a thug???? Catherine

I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst---but that's typically how I do things.
His entire adult life has been surrounded by thugs, so yes, THUG is a very fitting word. It's way too comfortable of a place for him.

Here's step one..

Thugs getting more thugs in office..

ABC News: Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal

Emanuel tied to Freddie Mac collapse





President-elect Barack Obama's newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot "red flags," according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com...

The actions by Freddie Mac are cited by some economists as the beginning of the country's economic meltdown.

The federal government this year was forced to take over Freddie Mac and a sister federal mortgage agency, Fannie Mae, pledging at least $200 billion in public funds.

Freddie Mac records have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of its investigation of the suspect accounting procedures.

ABC News: Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal

Emanuel tied to Freddie Mac collapse





President-elect Barack Obama's newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot "red flags," according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com...

The actions by Freddie Mac are cited by some economists as the beginning of the country's economic meltdown.

The federal government this year was forced to take over Freddie Mac and a sister federal mortgage agency, Fannie Mae, pledging at least $200 billion in public funds.

Freddie Mac records have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of its investigation of the suspect accounting procedures.

How the hell do you get a robed quote out of this? How about addressing the fact...more scum in the middle of the sh!tpile, brought in to rape us even more than congress already has.

Kathy's constant denials of her racism while posting about how everything that happens in her area is because of the blacks just got to be too much for me.

Was the poster out of line....probably.

Am I sorry? No....I'm a bitch on wheels.
First of all did I say EVERYTHING that happens in my area is because of race problems? NO. It's just that there is a proportionately higher percentage of black crime here than the black population. Can't you folks understand simple connections? Secondly, I did make an off hand remark about names and race. It wasn't meant with as much drama as a few people took it. Jameka, Dontele, etc... are not common white names in the Midwest. If they are in your area then I can see that you might think I'm being insulting or whatever. But around here they are predominately-probably closer to 100%-representative of the black population. That does NOT make me a racist. If I see Suzy Smith is getting arrested for public intox I'm going to assume she is a white college kid but if I see Dontele Washington being arrested I will make the assumption he is probably black. Once again, that's no more racist than assuming Suzy Smith is white. Facts and statistics do back up a lot of generalizations, not all, but a quite a few. I only speak for the city in which I live. If you don't live here how can you judge me and what's going on HERE? I wont' be able to tell you about Atlanta, Chicago, etc... unless I do a lot of research because I don't live there. BUT if you give me statistics and eyewitness accounts I would have a better idea of it.
PS I will give you a tiny bit of respect for admitting you are a bitch on wheels. If you admit it, then I can handle it!

Rahm Emanuel is most definitely a thug!

In 2006 Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass reported he had a newsroom confrontation with Emanuel over Kass’s continued speculation Emanuel only won his 2002 election because convicted former Chicago water department boss Don Tomczak sent in his employees to work for Emanuel. He also speculated that Mayor Richard Daley’s “underlings” who were sentenced to federal prison for organizing “patronage armies” also helped Emanuel.

The Hired Truck Program was a scandal-plagued program in the city of Chicago that involved hiring private trucks to do city work. It was overhauled in 2004 (and phased out beginning in 2005) after an investigation by the Chicago Sun-Times revealed that some participating companies were being paid for doing little or no work, had mob connections or were tied to city employees. Truck owners also paid bribes in order to get into the program.

So let's see. . .he has had dealings with The Chicago Outfit, which, by the way, is different than any of the other "five families" in that it has had members that are not Italian Americans since it's beginnings. And then he acts like a thug by sending someone a dead fish. . .uh. . .only the most notorious mafia threat known.

What was the saying? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. . . . .

He is my prestident. I will support him. I may not agree with everything and I will question the heck out of all that I find to be questionable.

But, because he has been chosen, I will do the respectful thing, and hope that he has the cards that we need to make this country right again.


Doesn't mean I won't talk smack, the dems did it the entire time Bush was in office. So don't begrudge us of our time..

Whoa - I considered posting a link to something on youtube but I need to put on my flame retardant big girl panties first. This thread isn't for the weak at heart.

If I'm brave enough I may come back. For now, I better stick to the YFB. Carry on...

At this rate, it's going to be a long time before I can graduate to the TLJ board!

I never said he was a thug. I said Emanuel is a thug. Obama is however a product of the Chicago political machine. There is a long history of thuggery there. He chose Emanuel as his chief of staff. This is a man who sent a dead fish to one of his enemies. I thought that kind of thing was only reserved for Hollywood mafia movies.

That isn't even our biggest problem with his appointment. Read the Khalidi thread. Just what we need now. The Arab world to be even more pissed off at us!

As far as the Hitler thing. . . .Obama sure knows how to work the propaganda machine. . .I see a lot of similarities, but we will have to wait and see.
