Rocky, liberals never grow up. Ms. Green is proof of that.

In one sentence, you got the entire jist of where Mary Kay Green’s bases her case.

Because Green views Obama as the modern day JFK, she fears for his safety.

Remember the naivity of the people during the JFK presidency. Now please don’t take this as next statement as sexist, because it is not intended as such, but young women voted for JFK in droves, not because of his position on the issues, but because he was so “handsome”. As a child I remember them discussing it over coffee and cards all the time. His administration was glowingly refered to as Camelot even before he took office. They didn’t like Nixon because he looked “Mean and ugly” and they thought he was “picking on” JFK during the debates. I recall them sitting on the couch cussing at Nixon for his abuse of this gallant man, just before we were rushed out of the room to bed. JFK was a romantic symbol to them, nothing else, they gushed over him like a pop music idol. They viewed Jackie as an American princess and John as a princely knight on a white steed. They went out and bought pill-box hats and pink dresses to look like her. No wonder Green feels offended. She has learned nothing in the last 40 years or so. She still votes with her heart and not her head. You are not a silly teen anymore Ms. Green. Grow up.

Rereading how I expressed that statement, I can understand your confusion about my meaning. I really should have waited for the coffee to finish brewing.

As for defending someone’s right to belief in Socialism, I agree with you. If we start thinking we have the right to dismiss someone based on their political views, then we are the “thugs”. That brings me back to my original point. I am not so much worried about what “they” believe, although I disagree with it completely. What worries me, and what I find “anti American”, is how they behave towards those of us who believe differently. The Democrats seem to be working under a new motto, “The Ends Justify the Means”.

[...] sues McCain/Palin for “hate speech” Expect much more inanity like this in the near future my friends. This is the favorite tactic of the “free-speech [...]

Thank heaven, Lightbringer… I was appalled at my communication abilities if someone could walk away and think I’m an Obama socialist! LOL

Yes, it was the presence of the “your” that threw me off. And I could see where some could take my defense of Marxism/socialism/communism as being very “American” the wrong way.

I could have sworn I put Obama’s name in parenthesis next to “your”. Oh, I did.

I was not trying to call “you” a socialist. I was trying to say that bringing about socialism through fascist fraud and threats of violence is not American. Whether your name is Obama, or whatever. “YOUR” was meant to include Obama and all his thuggish followers. The Constitutional right to be whatever sort of political flavor you like is fine with me. I would be just as angry and appalled if McCain/Palin had hired ACORN to illegally register thousands of fake names and dead people and such. I don’t particularly give a rat’s ass if Obama decided to wave a red banner and insist on being called “Komrade”, that is his right. Breaking laws and subverting the Constitution is not.

My apologies if you seriously thought I was under the impression you were a socialist. Perhaps I should wait until after that first cup of coffee before posting next time to be more clear in my wording.

It seems that mental illness runs in that woman’s family. So sad. Perhaps her father died when he had a dream of what a nutcase she would become forty years later, and couldn’t bear the thought that his once prized daughter would become a raving lunatic and laughingstock? Perhaps she should sue her father for dying on her forty years ago? Perhaps she should sue Sirhan Sirhan for killing her father? Perhaps I should sue her for causing me mental distress and anxiety by her frivolous litigation? Courts allow alot of pro se plaintiffs to come in with cockamamie (and no that is not a racist term) litigation, but this is ridiculous. There is no pure hate speech laws that give this woman a private right of action against anyone in the McCain campaign, just as the SCOTUS recently ruled there’s no private cause of action for the HAVA laws at issue in Hawaii. If McCain’s campaign had called this woman directly the C word, like Obama’s campaign supporters did to Gov Palin, it might have come closer, but it would still likely be deemed opinion and unactionable. This woman should be fined by the Court and sent to Shady Oaks where she will no longer be a danger to herself.

Lightbringer, INRE your comment:

Bringing about your (Obama’s) dreams of Socialism through Fascist and criminal methods is anti American in my opinion.

“My” dreams of socialism? Oh my… if you believe that, you don’t read much of my work here, Lightbringer.

You might try reading my Oct 5th post about the legitimate TKO punch McCain should be using on the Obama/Ayers relationship which is Obama’s proven failure in the CAC… blowing lots of money on political purposes, and failing at the educational reform. Not to mention just what that reform was…

Follow that up with with the next day’s post, that Obama activism = social injustice. The shared Obama/Ayers quest for a social and economic justice educational system in the US…. the socialist/Marxist plan of Ayers, taken straight from renowned communist, Rosa Luxemberg.

A couple of days later, I saw that the media was catching on to the *real* Obama/Ayers relationship, as I had been saying. Here’s my first post on the Annenberg connection to socialism.

Go back into my archives, and you’ll find my beef with Obama from day one was that he was a socialist.

You misconstrue my respect for the Constitutional right to be a Communist/socialist/Marxist in America as support of that philosophy. Nope. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

But the day we don’t allow a socialist to speak or function in the US is the day they win. Because dissent is *very* American.

You are correct, being a Socialist is not anti American.

Bringing about your (Obama’s) dreams of Socialism through Fascist and criminal methods is anti American in my opinion. His connections to Ayers, ACORN, et al. are simply evidence that he is not unaware of the methods being employed on his behalf.

@MataHarley:

Anti-capitalist is essentially correct, but incomplete. It doesn’t address other aspects of socialism that Obama appears to advocate. Obama’s concept of “spreading the wealth around” is just one example. If his tax plan is implemented, it will amount to government-sanctioned robbery (and no, I’m not wealthy at 32k per year – I just don’t believe that my more ambitious and wealthier neighbor should be required to support me).

The probable federal take-over of public education in this country is another issue – an expensive fast-track to mediocrity and the nurturing of group-think, in my opinion.

Some may see Obama as simply anti-capitalist, but when I look at him, I see an anti-American socialist whose ideas about “change” pose a grave threat to this nation. Obama isn’t offering Americans a safety net (although some believe he is). He’s constructing a cage.

Personally, I’d rather keep my freedom and take my chances outside the cage, regardless of the risks.
