You've worked extremely hard to pay your dues - surfing. You now have the strength, stamina and confidence to paddle out through thick overhead beachbreak barrels and score 25 - 30 waves in a three hour session. But you're getting way more than your share! While you're scoring a wave every six minutes, some other surfers who have not put in the time/work are having to wait 30 minutes or more between waves. Gee, wouldn't it be better for all if we spread the wealth/waves and awarded 20 of your hard-earned paddle-for-position takeoffs to your fellow surfers? Wouldn't that make it a better world? Do we really want a president and congress with that mentality?
Well do you want an economy where the dollar is worth nothing? Where all the waves are knee high in America while the Europeans are getting triple overhead waves everyday. Youve worked so hard to get these waves and then they turn to ****. Do you want oil and debris in your lineup? Do you want another moron in the white house? Do you want to go to war tommorow? Nobody likes America right now and we dont need it getting any worse. They are all just afraid. We need to prove we are willing to change so they will accept us. McCain is not the man to do it. I know I want to keep surfing even if I do have to share some waves with the fellow man.
You obviously haven't looked into Obamas future plans regarding warfare, do you know that he plans to "mildly" investigate Pakistan after leaving IRAQ, by sending 5000 troops plus(maybe more) that's just the beginning. Pakistan is WAY worse than IRAQ, are you serious? While doing so he also wants to decrease our entire militaries' funding by 25%<--WTF? Although I do feel his plan for economic growth is better than Mccains', OBAMA wants invade two other countries(minimally, like we were going to with IRAQ, then look what happened) while at the same time weakening our defenses. Our economy ain't **** when we have a softy in the white house who knows NOTHING about foreign affairs(which he admits) and who is actually looking to get us into more of this same ****.....check your facts.
He just wants to make sure that after leaving Iraq that they are able to become a sovereign nation. All of our hard money,time, and most importantly lives spent in Iraq would be useless if extremists in Pakistan are just able to come in and take over the week Iraqi government after the departure of the United States. Though this should all be familiar to you since you seem to be some kind of political scientist. This doesnt mean he wants to go to war with Pakistan. He is at war with the extreme muslim terrorists in Pakistan which make up only a minute portion of the people in Pakistan.
NObama The last thing we need right now is on-the-job training in the White House, and the same thing that destroyed France's economy - SOCIALISM! Talk to someone who has been running from socialism and then decide if you still think it's a good idea...but do it fast and then VOTE!
Why does everyone think that universal healthcare and taxing the rich is socialism. I know they are socialist to a degree, but thats like saying all conservatives are facists. There has to be a balance somewhere in between and thats why we are a republic. We try to do what is best for the people, and right now the majority of people are struggeling to get by. If we dont have a strong working class in this country then our economy will be nothing. The amount of wealth a person has is based on the value of a dollar to the average man and woman no matter how much "money" you have.
Weak, in the context of strength, is spelled W-E-A-K, not week like days of the week....wow. A minute portion of Muslim terrorists in Pakistan??......hmmmmm sounds like the minute portion of Al Qaeda which we where suppose to stop with little loss? same sh*t different day. Obama is going to screw sh*t up, and I can't wait to blame the fools like you(who will probably deny their support of this muslim) who thought he would bring greatness and voted for him.
I said the same thing about Bush Junior (twice), except I never wanted the chance to blame anyone for voting for him. Bush f*cked our country. I was right about that (would you argue that?) Obama might not be the savior, but he will do a lot more to "undo" 8 years of Bush than McCain will. And may God save us if Palin ends up president and tries to teach us about 6000 year old dinosaurs and family values.
Hey Mister Superior Intellect, WERE, in the context of past tense, is spelled W-E-R-E, not W-H-E-R-E (as in "Where is your head?")........wow. You might consider proof reading your posts before you start playing grammar nazi and calling other people fools. And Obama isn't a muslim. If you want to argue the issues, great!!! But when you start making baseless assertions about Obama being a Muslim, the Antichrist, or any of that other bull****, you really limit the effectiveness of your argument.

Obama's father was/is 100% Muslim! So how is claiming President Obama to be Muslim, whether he's half or not, in any way baseless? Its clearly a reasonable "base" to make the claim. Furthermore, that "where" shi*t was an obvious typo, the correction I made earlier had to do with weak being spelled "week". I'd argue those are quite different. You wrote that I was making "baseless assertions"? The definition of assertion is something positively stated, which my statement obviously wasn't. Poor word choice, you should be my College English Comp 2 professor.
So if my dad was a Jew, but he left my Protestant mom when I was 2 and she raised me as a Lutheran, then I'm Jewish? If all of my memories of my father were second hand because he left long ago and has been dead for over 25 years, then I am somehow still a believer in his religion based on bloodline? Has religion somehow infiltrated genetics? Neither of my parents were surfers, but I somehow ended up a staunch believer in this "Aquatic Nature Religion." Was it recessive? The last time I checked you got to choose your own religion. You don't catch a religion from your parents. Plus, how many people (or surfers) do you know that have rejected the religion they were raised to believe in? Nevermind the fact that Obama wasn't even raised Muslim, but even if he was... Calling Obama a Muslim because his estranged father was is just W-E-A-K. If you want to fault him for something why not check into his Columbia University and Harvard credentials?
"Baseless? Obama's father was/is 100% Muslim! So how is claiming President Obama to be Muslim, whether he's half or not, in any way baseless? Its clearly a reasonable "base" to make the claim." No, it clearly is not. Obama was raised by a white woman in a white family. You know it, I know it. And for the record, Christianity, Islam, Judaism.....those are all religions, not races or nationalities. You cannot be "half Christian / half Muslim". They are seperate ideologies and they are at odds with each other. So to try to say that maybe he is "half muslim" is a pretty desperate way to try to salvage your argument. And at the very least it's a cheap fear tactic. "Furthermore, that "where" shi*t was an obvious typo, the correction I made earlier had to do with weak being spelled "week". I'd argue those are quite different." Of course you would. You look foolish for correcting someone else's spelling (and being really arrogant about it), while simultaneously making your own spelling errors in the same post. Deep down I think you know that. "You wrote that I was making "baseless assertions"? The definition of assertion is something positively stated, which my statement obviously wasn't. Poor word choice, you should be my College English Comp 2 professor." Poor word choice? Yeah, right. How about we look at the *complete* definition of "assertion", you know, this time we'll actually include the part you omitted: 1. a positive statement or declaration, often without support or reason: a mere assertion; an unwarranted assertion. In your previous statement you did, in fact, "declare" that Obama was a Muslim (and if you'd like, we can split hairs by defining "declare"), and in my eyes it was pretty baseless. So I stand by my word choice. Anything else?
ok kook, you win=now you can do a little dance as you ride the wave of self-satisfaction, probably the only one you ride well.
