What makes you any more of a "REAL AMERICAN" than our own President?

I doubt you can even answer that simple question.

 

Edited to add one word to make the point comprehensible to those that have already proven an inability to comprehend so much.

 

It still doesn't make much sense. Me and my "ilk" are the ones who elected Obama, we are the majority of Americans. You (the minority) are going to stop us (the majority) from taking the country from you? LOL!

What kind of "fight" do you propose to settle this?

I think you're just a sore loser. Americans have been electing their leader for over 200 years. Just because you were in the minority is no reason to fight.

 

I'm curious...what do you do for a living? Are you non-white?

 

Considering that the majority of people who voted for Obama are anti-gun, It wouldn't be that hard of a fight.

 

My vote is he is Obama trolling the Internet trying to defend himself.

 

I contend that many who voted for Obama had no idea of the extent of his leftist agenda.

IOTW, they trusted him too much, and did not know what they were really getting. Many voted for him only because they hated Bush, and Obama ran against Bush more than he ran against the other weak nominee.


Sure, Obama has many left leaning supporters. And many others who are perpetually uninformed, misinformed or indifferent will continue to blindly follow him.

The leftists and the perpetually uninformed, misinformed and/or indifferent are your ilk. They are the ones the rest of us must save the country from. Yes, your ilk has votes that count as much as mine. It will suck for the future if that is the death of America.

Also, do you think we all had our memory banks erased when Obama was elected? Are we supposed to magically forget how President Bush was treated by his opposition? It's at least 8 years too late to say all Americans have to blindly follow a president just because he got elected.

 

My guess is Real is not Obama, but he probably is some form of community organizer. Possibly paid minimum wage by ACORN with our tax dollars to troll fine sites such as this, lol.

Seriously, he's most likely in his 20's, perpetually under-employed, no children, never met a payroll, and he's looking for the government to provide the things he wants/needs and can't get for himself.

Hey, he called us racists, so I feel like I can call it like I see it.

FWIW, I'm 47, two children and a small business owner. I deeply resent the amount of control and money I have to give the government. I cast my votes and exercise my citizenship accordingly, for what little good it does.

 

Obama is proving to be much more moderate than most of the people who elected him believed he was and he is proving to be RADICALLY more of a centrist than the right wing painted him during the campaign season. He is turning out to be so moderate he is beginning to lose support from the far left, people who voted for him. That is a fact.


But you still haven't said what kind of *fight* you think you will need. It is beginning to sound like you are not in favor of democracy if you happen to be in the minority. For years America has worked hard at exporting democracy to other countries and championed it as the best form of rule. Wouldn't it be sad if a minority of us decided they knew better than everyone else? That appears to be what you're saying.


The democrats in the House and Senate treated Bush with the respect every American President deserves and supported many of his initiatives. Not like the obstructionist republicans are doing now. And the democrats never interupted his State of the Union speeches by yelling "You lie" from the floor. That happened only a few months into his first term and it was yelled at a truthful statement.

Sure, all Presidents will have detractors and that's what's great about freedom of speech. But with that freedom comes a responsibility. Any extremist disrespect for Bush pales in comparison to what is going on now with President Obama. They are two completely different beasts.

 

You are one whacky conspiracy theorist (and not a very good one at that).

If you would take off your tin foil hat for just a moment you would see how utterly ridiculous you sound. You think I bought a 2010 F-150 just so ACORN would pay me to troll f150online.com? LOL!



In my 20's? I'm 46!

Looking for government to provide for me?

I've worked hard and saved my whole life. Never taken a dime of government assistance other than the fact that I went to public school K-12, I drive on the roads and use the libraries as well as the Federal, State and County parks, boat launches, and rest areas. Oh, and I went to a state funded College and took out government sponsored student loads to pay my tuition and books so I could earn enough to pay for food, clothing and shelter. I also have also enjoyed the protection of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. I'm sure there are other ways the Government has helped me out but not in terms of Welfare and the like if that's what you're thinking of. I buy my own healthcare, cost $1600/month for myself and my wife and it is catastrophic only, doesn't cover routine office checkups or prescription drugs. I pay cash for those.

I've worked for myself for the last 14 years and in the last 10 years I've paid approx. $800,000 in income taxes. I think that's more than my share but I'm glad to pitch in because I'm proud to live in the greatest country in the world. Voting for Obama was not in my personal financial best interest because he told us up front he was going to raise taxes on those who were not struggling to make ends meet but I voted for him anyway. You know why? Because as a proud American I can't stand to see the country I love lose it's moral standing in the world. And that's exactly what happened under dumb dumb. It will take years to repair the damage and balance the budget but it is exactly what America needs to get back what we once had. A country cannot effectively lead the world just because they have the mightiest military in the world. You need the moral authority to back it up. And that's exactly what we have squandered. Some Americans cannot see this because they don't go anywhere and FOX news is as real as it gets.

You can take your looney ACORN conspiracy theories back to the channel you live on (Fox) because they don't hold any weight with me. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

 

The only thing we agree on ^^^^^.

 

I didn't say I'm any more real American than the next guy. BUT, by you implying that because I don't support obama (not capitalized for a reason) im unamerican really pissed me off. I volunteered my service to this country for 7 yrs of my life and you want to know why? Because in my mind it was the right thing to do. Both my grandfathers served proudly and I felt I should too. I just want to know how you support his tearing apart of our country.

BTW, 41 w/m Deputy Sheriff. Oh, I could get an invite to OUR White House tomorrow from the man directly and I WOULD NOT GO.

 

Stop confusing everyone with logic and reason, where the heck do you think you are?

Actually, that was so extremely well said, you would have to be a nut to disagree with it.

 

You strongly implied it by saying "because us REAL AMERICANS can tear apart anything you wanna throw at us about NObama."

I just don't buy the implication that one party or the other has more of a lock on being "real americans" we are "we the people".

Respect for American Presidents (even ones with policies you don't support) is a well established American principle. What is un-American is someone saying they would never support their Commander-in-Chief. Considering that our nation is still officially at war (we are sending 30,000 more young men and women as we speak) it is profoundly un-American for anyone who has the benefits of citizenship to say they would never support that *$#*!As an American you may be called upon to defend your nation and this would involve supporting your commander in chief. As a civilian I am not saying that supporting your President involves supporting all of his policies but it does involve respect for the office and, in a time of war, doing what was asked of you.

Well good for you. Just remember that 7 years of military service does not absolve you from your responsibilities as a citizen. If anything, you should have learned to respect your nation and it's highest office all the more. And I am proud to have helped fund your service with almost a million tax dollars, paid by me in US dollars to the IRS. People forget that the Defense budget is the largest single Federal expenditure and someone needs to pay for it. I do not shirk the responsibility I feel towards my nation and complain that I am paying a higher percentage of income than the guy who built my f-150. But lots of people who have worked hard and been successful do exactly that. How patriotic!

I guess that is your perogative. But it would be un-American if you recieved a request to assist in time of war and did not comply. And that's what I responding to, Thetruck said "I will never support that douchebag.....never...."

 

True. Therefore I expect at least six thread participants to disagree (whether publically or privately).
