I thought i’d join the bandwagon of bitter Republicans today, who monitor everything President Obama is doing and writing his legacy only two weeks since taking office. Here’s my comprehensive list of that evil Obama…
So much for bipartisanship, Obama wore a BLUE shirt to work today. Which, is disrespecting the Office of Presidency. And no, bombing a country for no reason, killing over 1,000,000 innocents, and destroying trust across the World is not the same! The Blue shirt is worse!!!!!
According to new research, watching Obama for too long increases risk of skin Cancer – Fox News.
A whole fourteen days has past, and the World is still in economic bust. So much for fixing the economy. Liar.
Bail outs? To actually try to help the economy? What America really needs right now is more Republicans, because we did a wonderful job these past eight years. MORE TAX CUTS!!!!
Obama is officially allowing terrorists from Guantanamo (and by terrorist, I mean anyone who doesn’t support American Imperialism) to live next to our local school. Not only that, but they’ve been given free guns!!!
So much for racial equality. Obama is still black.
Obama doesn’t support a ban on masturbation, which means he lets men kill half a child, every time they knock one out. Is this man the anti-Christ?
Obama is the same colour as Eazy E, who is famously quoted as saying “Fuck da police”. Shameful.
Obama is putting money into the sickening project of allowing women to have an abortion AFTER the child has been born and found a job. We could understand if the child was gay, it deserves to be put down, the unnatural swines. But hetrosexual children? What would Moses do?
Obama would rather protect Nature, than allow oil companies to kill polar bears. Who needs those polar bear things anyway?
Obama thinks it’s ok to allow teachers to say “Darwin” and teach that farfetched ridiculous impossible concept of evolution. It wont last long, we have Jesus on our side….. he was the son of a virgin and God, who was killed for our sins, rose from the dead, walked around for a bit, and then ascended into heaven.
Obama wants to stop my Constitutional right to buy a gun, with the intent of shooting up a school…. which is not a crime (until I shoot up a school)…. where’s the justice in that? Jesus would be weeping now.
For the benefit of those evil Lefties among us, John McCain was not a shit pilot, he was a misunderstood pilot!!!!
Obama wants to help the poor. Which means he doesn’t like that John Thain spent tax payers money on redecorating his office; Instead he wants to make sure people can afford to eat. Fucking Socialist pig!!!!
Obama – sounds a bit like Osama, and Abomber. Coincidence?
And so what if the entire planet supports him and shakes it’s disapproving head at the mere mention of Republicans. Do they not realise that apart from the million deaths (let’s not dwell on them), we freed Iraq!!!!!
Obama doesn’t think it’s right to incite hatred toward homosexuality. If he had his way, the gays would be bumming your kids, even at school!!! LEGALLY!!!! They’d be strolling through public parks (gays allowed out in public, disgusting, what would Jesus say?) hand in hand with ex-Guantanamo inmates, bumming and then bombing. A bum bomb they’d call it.
He’s a terrorist communist child murdering partisan liar!!!!! If only George Bush were still here. SAVE US JESUS!!!!
Ok now i’ve got that out of my system, back to being Liberal….

What kind of dribble is this? You must have taken a few too many hits on the bong. Give it a rest. Just realize that the dems are an immoral group that lie, cheat and steal all they can then make themselves out as the victim when they get caught. Puke.
You have some serious screws loose. Maybe you should sign up for anger managment classes, or get fitted for your stright jacket. “The communist terrorist baby killer”? Seriously? Not your president, mind your own business! WE have to live with what he does more than you do. You are just sick. See how you feel when those GITMO bastards are on YOUR soil. Out of those “million deaths” how many of them actually were caused by Americans killing “innocents”? Is a child with a bomb strapped to his chest that come running at American troops innocent? You do realize they are killing their own people more than the Americans are right? Look up the actual statistics instead of rambling like an idiot.
Obama doesn’t want to help the “poor”, he want’s to help the lower class that are on welfare sucking the life out of America and refusing to get jobs by giving them free handouts. The drug addicts, the hookers selling themselves for a quick fix. “wealth redistribution” take from the people willing to work and give to those who are not.
Thanks, helochick & Jeff. You made my day. It’s so God damned entertaining to watch moronic right wingers mistake sarcasm for real expression of ideas. Probably comes from reading your own side’s nut-case rantings so often. Heh, heh.
I understood it was sarcasm you idiot. That’s why I said what I said. I gather that he supports Obama from some of his other posts, he’s being an idiot and making fun of people. He’s doing it with a lot of anger, that’s why I said what I said. Anyone that can’t tell that is an idiot. So by supporting him, you support GITMO being closed, and wealth redistribution, shall I say it? THAT’S WHY I SAID WHAT I SAID! Think before you blog Electablog, or at least understand it.
Excellent! I’ve been getting good and mad myself at the folks who are taking the idea of vetting to the point of demanding inhuman perfection of all nominees. The GOP is SO good at playing the American tendency to be intolerant of the least inperfection in its politicans, alternated of course (as during the last eight years) with total tolerance of any and all corruption.
eclectablog- glad to know you’re able to stick to the subject. Basically all this blog is about is making fun of people? Good to know before I wasted anymore of my time by entertaining you further. Are you even old enough to vote? Glad to know that the fact that our country is being screwed without the courtesy of a reach around is funny to you.
“Made $33 million available for abstinence education programs in 2004.”
Is that not a waste of money, that Republicans now yell at Obama for?
And this is the most bias report I think i’ve seen. I’m not sure how much a report can be taken seriously when it has as one of it’s points….
“Changed the tone in the White House, restoring HONOR and DIGNITY to the presidency.”
Was this report created by Laura Bush?
And brilliantly…
“Successfully executed two wars in the aftermath of 9/11/01: Afghanistan and Iraq. 50 million people who had lived under tyrannical regimes now live in freedom.”
Successfully? Really?
Actually, Obama is doing the opposite, he has already overturned Bush’s abstinence education programs and is giving money to fund foreign abortions. That’s what has people(not just republicans) so mad(including the Vatican). All through his campaign he preached pro-life, then the day before he was sworn in he went pro-choice. By teaching abstinence and educating kids on the dangers and actual responsibilites that go with sex, it lowers the teen prego rate. Instead of giving free birth control and condoms and telling them abortion is always an option.
I believe the thing about restoring honor and dignity had to do with him not getting a hummer in the Oval Office. Don’t know what else that could mean.
I don’t agree with everything in the link I put, but there are some good points.
“Requires districts to let students transfer out of dangerous schools”-really great in my eyes.
“Signed two income tax cuts, one of which was the largest dollar-value tax cut in world history.”- isn’t this a good thing too?
And my absolute favorite…..
“On Friday, September 14, 2001, President Bush visited Ground Zero. Standing on a crushed and burned fire engine atop the smoldering pile at Ground Zero, he put his arm around a retired firefighter who had volunteered to help, and began speaking to the crowd. Rescue workers shouted that they could not hear him. Someone handed him a small American flag and bullhorn. The President spontaneously shouted: “I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.” The crowd roared with cheers and chants of “USA! USA! USA!” Then he raised that American flag and rallied a nation”-everyone was ready for revenge in the beginning, ready to take the fight to whom ever, or where ever it was needed. He was liked at one point. Then people saw what “war” really was. They saw the mounting death tolls, and changed their minds. If Bush had pulled out when his “ratings” went down, in his eyes(my opinion) it would’ve shown weakness. I honestly feel it would’ve opened us up for more attacks. But that is my opinion, from someone who’s been there. There are quite a few military members that feel that way, at least the ones I’m stationed with anyway.
“By teaching abstinence and educating kids on the dangers and actual responsibilites that go with sex, it lowers the teen prego rate.” Again, that’s your opinion. I was never taught abstinence and I certainly don’t have kids all over the place. We were given condoms at a young age, and I use them all the time.
If someone tried to preach abstinence to me, as if we’re all the same, i’d have ignored it. The Religious right needs to stop imposing itself as a superior moral authority, because given it’s past, it really isn’t.
And on the last point, great, but full of lies. The ‘people who knocked down these buildings’ have been ignored, and war waged on a country who had nothing to do with it, on a basis of a lie, who also just so happen to have rich oil supplies, which then just so happened to have contracts for Haliburton. You can’t make up this shit. There is absolutely no one in the intelligent World that thinks 9/11 was reasonably handled, and not just a much needed pretext to invade country for had nothing to do with it. And then the bullshit about spreading freedom and democracy, if that’s the case, why has Bush pretty much done everything but sleep with the Saudi Royals?
What do you mean Religious right? I’m talking about morals. I never mentioned religion. Not everyone is that responsible. You have to think of the amount of unplanned pregnancies, and wonder what they were taught. You can’t do abstinence only teaching, I wasn’t trying to say that, but it should be the focus. Teach about “responsible sex” and that abstinence is still the “safest” way to avoid pregnancy and STD’s. Birth control and condoms can fail, and they need to be taught that too. My first daughter was the result of a broken condom, and the second I was on deprovera(the shot). We were married and I was 25, but we weren’t ready for kids. Kids are getting prego as soon as they get their cycle, between 6th and 8th grade.
If they get birth control, they don’t understand that when you miss one pill, you can easily get prego for the next 24-48 hours. They’re told that, but how many really listen? These are kids, not adults.
Talking about sleeping with Saudi Royals? What tv station did Obama do his first interview on?
If the “people that knocked down those buildings” have been ignored, who’s in GITMO? The only reason most of them are still there is because their own countries don’t want them. Nobody in the US wants them either.
Except that data says “Just say no.” simply does not work. In fact, it works less well than actually giving good info and birth control, which is why the US has a bigger problem of kids having babies than Europe.
And it was Saudis in those planes that took down the towers. Just how many Saudis do you think there are in Gitmo? Nope, some Afghani Taliban, who were defending AlQueda just because they were Muslim fundamentalists, out of ignorance, and some Iraqis just doing the same as we would if another country attacked us when we were not threat to them.
If you guys didn’t realise he was pro-choice, given that he’s written two incredibly popular books, in which he states his position as pro-choice, and the fact he’s said, he’s pro-choice, i’d REALLY stop watching Fox News.
I never read his books, and never plan to. He backstepped when his vote of “present” was brought up for partial birth abortions. From the debates I saw he never came right out and said he was pro-choice or pro-life, he said at least two times that I heard, “every life is important, and we need to preserve human life.” A statement like that sounds like pro-life. He spoke often about the need to reduce abortions! He fooled a lot of the pro-lifers!
He fooled a lot of people. I shouldn’t have to read a book to know where my president stands on issues. He should be open and honest, and the media should be un-biased. However we all know those things will NOT happen. Fox news, cnn, nbc, whatever, they report what gets them ratings.
“Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Officials with the incoming administration of Barack Obama have confirmed that he will indeed overturn a pro-life policy of President Bush on his first day in office. Despite campaigning on the rhetoric of wanting to reduce abortions, Obama will make one of his first actions promoting them globally.”
Everyone is saying the same thing, he campaigned about abortion reduction.
Abortion reduction has to be responsible. Quick fire Religious notions that an outright ban on Abortion will stop it, is ridiculous. Obama knows it. It has to be responsible. It has to show that you Conservatives do not own the right to the womb of any woman.
Not only that, but you need to start accepting that if you legislate against Abortion, Abortion will still take place anyway, but this time in back alley abortion clinics. Which is incredibly dangerous. Perhaps you will dismiss that? Feel free to look up the statistics. Each year, 20 million abortions take place in unsafe conditions and as a consequence, an estimated 80,000 women die.
You want that number to go up? How would the Republicans prevent that number from going up? Please, enlighten me. Let’s see how ‘pro-life’ you guys really are.
You guys are trying to impose what you believe to be sexually moral. First you complain about how easy it is for kids to get condoms now (Because in your odd way, you think a Republican telling a teenager that sex is wrong at their age, will stop them) so would like to prevent that, because apparently giving kids condoms is the way to higher pregnancy rates. Republicans then preach against homosexuality. And now you want to tell a woman how her body should work.
Along with this pro-life stance, Republicans are anti-stem cell research which could lead to saving millions of lives each year, and yet you’re pro guns, used primarily, to injure or kill.
You ingeniously decide you’d like to limit the availability of contraception, and also ban abortion, you dismiss all gay people as unnatural. I don’t know how you think you have a right to suppress the sexuality or sexual conduct of anybody. You act as if you Republicans, and no one else, are the guardians of all sexual morals. And then, you preach individual freedom. It’s a disaster policies.
You then show me a letter from a Cardinal. I do not believe in the mixing of Religion and Politics. It’s dangerous. So I could not care less what the Religious Right have to say on the matter.
So yes, I do think Obama has to be incredibly responsible on the issue, not bow to hypocritical pressure from the Right Wing, and do this his own way.
Republicans aren’t pro-life. They never were. They couldn’t give a shit about an unborn baby. If they did, they’d have been unbelievably outraged at the amount of innocent dead children in Iraq, and yet, you all seem to just ignore that. Or you’d be outraged at the massive amount of children in the U.S living in Poverty. But similarly, you ignore that too. You’re not pro-life. You’re anti-democrat. That’s it.
First, all republicans are not the same. I am a republican, am pro-choice when it comes to rape and incest. I do NOT think abortion should be used as a form of birth control, have sex willingly, take responsiblity, abortion can ruin your chances for kids later on in life if not done right and too many abortions cause health risks. Look up those stats.
I donate clothes to charity for under priveledged(poverty stricken) youth, and to battered women shelters. I help out at soup kitchens on the holidays, and teach my children not to take for granted what they have, and that charity is almost always good, every year they gather up toys and give them to less priveledged kids. I also believe we as a country spend too much time worrying about other countries poverty when we need to be worrying about our own. True, a lot of countries have it worse, but how can we fix someone else’s problem without fixing our own? I see more ASPCA commercials than anything else!
I am an active volunteer in Operation Homefront and help out by giving and donating school supplies every year as well as gethering toys and distributing them to local families in need. I feel that responsible people should be allowed to have guns. I beleive in hunting to control the deer population, but not for sport.
I also donated both daughters stem cells to Global Stem, INC in MD and Reach Bio LLC in WA. Gay people have rights too. I never said they didn’t. My Aunt is very openly gay and guess what! It’s NOT contagious! Just don’t try to change me from heterosexual to homosexual.
The high deaths related to abortions are in developing countries. If you don’t have the medical equiptment needed to perform an abortion, you shouldn’t be doing it! It’s not my fault that they go to a witch doctor instead of a licensed doctor. Abortions haven’t been illegal since Bush was in. Clinics are NOT hard to find, they are just surrounded by those religious NUTS claiming God will hate you and you will go to hell if you kill the baby in your belly. Unfortunately that’s their right. The abortion ratet HAS been steadily declining from 95-2000. Stayed the same from 00-04, now there’s an increase in the last 2 years.
I didn’t say to limit the supplies, make them available, but don’t hand them out to every Tom, Dick and Harry. If they want them fine, make them available. I do understand that kids will be kids and do what they want anyway, I have two daughters(5 and 3), and I worry for them. In my eyes if they are given free condoms they will see it as permission to go have sex. That’s of course where parenting comes in, however peer pressure is a bitch. The problem isn’t necessarily the kids getting the contraceptives, it’s the lack of parenting. Does that make sense? If the parent doesn’t step in and explain this to their kids, there begins the problem.
I’m republican because of how I was raised, I have beliefs on both sides. There are things all parties do that I don’t agree with. So where does that put me?
First of all, good answer, and I do actually mean that. I found it hard to strongly disagree with you.
However, I disagree that given free condoms gives the impression that they can go and sleep around. I think teenagers do have a lot more sense than that. I’m of the opinion that giving them condoms, is merely anticipating what is likely to happen anyway, and further promoting their safety. I certainly wouldn’t have dared ask my school for condoms, I was glad to have them handed to us.
First, thank you. Stereotypes aren’t always right…..I know everyone has different opinions.
My sex ed class was in 5th grade. I went to a very small school in a town called Honey Brook in PA. Very country. We never had another class. Condoms were available in the career counselors office and I think the nurses office too. We had zero pregnancies in my school through graduation in 96. Then two years after I graduated they school had 3 freshmen get pregnant. I think it really had to do with the way my generation was raised. Parents were involved with their kids, we went outside to play, didn’t sit in front of the TV getting fat, we had Atari and Coleco for video games. We (for the most part) respected our “elders” and if we talked back we got our butts smacked. Most of us turned out just fine.
I see this a lot in the Navy now. The lack of respect is astounding! These kids just don’t care anymore. A kid brand new to the navy, been in less than 2 months, saw my husband at the gym, walks up to him and says “hey dude, what’s up?” My husband’s a Chief, in the Navy 13 years, been to Iraq, Afgan, Africa, PI, and has been shot at countless times. Do you remember the plane the Chinese took a while back? That was my hubby’s squadron. He was so in shock he didn’t know what to say. Who do we blame? The kid? The parents? Society? There’s quite a few kids coming into the military to support a family, most of them are 18. Each state is going to be different, each city, county, school. It’s hard to find a happy medium for the way sex ed should be taught. There’s always going to be someone that disagrees with it, and someone who always has a better way to do it, and someone who thinks it shouldn’t be taught at school at all. Sadly we can’t please everyone.

He fooled a lot of people. I shouldn’t have to read a book to know where my president stands on issues. He should be open and honest, and the media should be un-biased. However we all know those things will NOT happen. Fox news, cnn, nbc, whatever, they report what gets them ratings.
“Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Officials with the incoming administration of Barack Obama have confirmed that he will indeed overturn a pro-life policy of President Bush on his first day in office. Despite campaigning on the rhetoric of wanting to reduce abortions, Obama will make one of his first actions promoting them globally.”
Everyone is saying the same thing, he campaigned about abortion reduction.
Abortion reduction has to be responsible. Quick fire Religious notions that an outright ban on Abortion will stop it, is ridiculous. Obama knows it. It has to be responsible. It has to show that you Conservatives do not own the right to the womb of any woman.
Not only that, but you need to start accepting that if you legislate against Abortion, Abortion will still take place anyway, but this time in back alley abortion clinics. Which is incredibly dangerous. Perhaps you will dismiss that? Feel free to look up the statistics. Each year, 20 million abortions take place in unsafe conditions and as a consequence, an estimated 80,000 women die.
You want that number to go up? How would the Republicans prevent that number from going up? Please, enlighten me. Let’s see how ‘pro-life’ you guys really are.
You guys are trying to impose what you believe to be sexually moral. First you complain about how easy it is for kids to get condoms now (Because in your odd way, you think a Republican telling a teenager that sex is wrong at their age, will stop them) so would like to prevent that, because apparently giving kids condoms is the way to higher pregnancy rates. Republicans then preach against homosexuality. And now you want to tell a woman how her body should work.
Along with this pro-life stance, Republicans are anti-stem cell research which could lead to saving millions of lives each year, and yet you’re pro guns, used primarily, to injure or kill.
You ingeniously decide you’d like to limit the availability of contraception, and also ban abortion, you dismiss all gay people as unnatural. I don’t know how you think you have a right to suppress the sexuality or sexual conduct of anybody. You act as if you Republicans, and no one else, are the guardians of all sexual morals. And then, you preach individual freedom. It’s a disaster policies.
You then show me a letter from a Cardinal. I do not believe in the mixing of Religion and Politics. It’s dangerous. So I could not care less what the Religious Right have to say on the matter.
So yes, I do think Obama has to be incredibly responsible on the issue, not bow to hypocritical pressure from the Right Wing, and do this his own way.
Republicans aren’t pro-life. They never were. They couldn’t give a shit about an unborn baby. If they did, they’d have been unbelievably outraged at the amount of innocent dead children in Iraq, and yet, you all seem to just ignore that. Or you’d be outraged at the massive amount of children in the U.S living in Poverty. But similarly, you ignore that too. You’re not pro-life. You’re anti-democrat. That’s it.
First, all republicans are not the same. I am a republican, am pro-choice when it comes to rape and incest. I do NOT think abortion should be used as a form of birth control, have sex willingly, take responsiblity, abortion can ruin your chances for kids later on in life if not done right and too many abortions cause health risks. Look up those stats.
I donate clothes to charity for under priveledged(poverty stricken) youth, and to battered women shelters. I help out at soup kitchens on the holidays, and teach my children not to take for granted what they have, and that charity is almost always good, every year they gather up toys and give them to less priveledged kids. I also believe we as a country spend too much time worrying about other countries poverty when we need to be worrying about our own. True, a lot of countries have it worse, but how can we fix someone else’s problem without fixing our own? I see more ASPCA commercials than anything else!
I am an active volunteer in Operation Homefront and help out by giving and donating school supplies every year as well as gethering toys and distributing them to local families in need. I feel that responsible people should be allowed to have guns. I beleive in hunting to control the deer population, but not for sport.
I also donated both daughters stem cells to Global Stem, INC in MD and Reach Bio LLC in WA. Gay people have rights too. I never said they didn’t. My Aunt is very openly gay and guess what! It’s NOT contagious! Just don’t try to change me from heterosexual to homosexual.
The high deaths related to abortions are in developing countries. If you don’t have the medical equiptment needed to perform an abortion, you shouldn’t be doing it! It’s not my fault that they go to a witch doctor instead of a licensed doctor. Abortions haven’t been illegal since Bush was in. Clinics are NOT hard to find, they are just surrounded by those religious NUTS claiming God will hate you and you will go to hell if you kill the baby in your belly. Unfortunately that’s their right. The abortion ratet HAS been steadily declining from 95-2000. Stayed the same from 00-04, now there’s an increase in the last 2 years.
I didn’t say to limit the supplies, make them available, but don’t hand them out to every Tom, Dick and Harry. If they want them fine, make them available. I do understand that kids will be kids and do what they want anyway, I have two daughters(5 and 3), and I worry for them. In my eyes if they are given free condoms they will see it as permission to go have sex. That’s of course where parenting comes in, however peer pressure is a bitch. The problem isn’t necessarily the kids getting the contraceptives, it’s the lack of parenting. Does that make sense? If the parent doesn’t step in and explain this to their kids, there begins the problem.
I’m republican because of how I was raised, I have beliefs on both sides. There are things all parties do that I don’t agree with. So where does that put me?
First of all, good answer, and I do actually mean that. I found it hard to strongly disagree with you.
However, I disagree that given free condoms gives the impression that they can go and sleep around. I think teenagers do have a lot more sense than that. I’m of the opinion that giving them condoms, is merely anticipating what is likely to happen anyway, and further promoting their safety. I certainly wouldn’t have dared ask my school for condoms, I was glad to have them handed to us.
First, thank you. Stereotypes aren’t always right…..I know everyone has different opinions.
My sex ed class was in 5th grade. I went to a very small school in a town called Honey Brook in PA. Very country. We never had another class. Condoms were available in the career counselors office and I think the nurses office too. We had zero pregnancies in my school through graduation in 96. Then two years after I graduated they school had 3 freshmen get pregnant. I think it really had to do with the way my generation was raised. Parents were involved with their kids, we went outside to play, didn’t sit in front of the TV getting fat, we had Atari and Coleco for video games. We (for the most part) respected our “elders” and if we talked back we got our butts smacked. Most of us turned out just fine.
I see this a lot in the Navy now. The lack of respect is astounding! These kids just don’t care anymore. A kid brand new to the navy, been in less than 2 months, saw my husband at the gym, walks up to him and says “hey dude, what’s up?” My husband’s a Chief, in the Navy 13 years, been to Iraq, Afgan, Africa, PI, and has been shot at countless times. Do you remember the plane the Chinese took a while back? That was my hubby’s squadron. He was so in shock he didn’t know what to say. Who do we blame? The kid? The parents? Society? There’s quite a few kids coming into the military to support a family, most of them are 18. Each state is going to be different, each city, county, school. It’s hard to find a happy medium for the way sex ed should be taught. There’s always going to be someone that disagrees with it, and someone who always has a better way to do it, and someone who thinks it shouldn’t be taught at school at all. Sadly we can’t please everyone.
YAY!
And also damnit! (or bloody hell! since you’re a Brit). You are way better at making fun of Republicans than I am.
