Comments on: Fast Forward To Obama's America In 2012

National Review Online: By Living In Fantasy World, Candidate Will Learn Lessons The Hard Way

[one-american]

"Many leftists learn nothing, know nothing, and propel themselves not with practical wisdom, but with outrage and contempt and a desire to punish those who do not agree with them."

No truer words were ever written - Liberals constantly and consistently demonstrate the absolute truth of this statement. From the liberal media, to the liberal-run Universities, to the liberal politicians, and to the liberal sheep who follow these blind and foolish children.

I''m sure White Male Sexist love Obama right now.

Maybe Uncle Tom...er, Barack, will bend over for them too.

[tiredofthebs]

Guess the OBAMA nation will dismiss this article as "PROPAGANDA". Too bad ...... though I don''t agree with everything in this article, it does make some VERY GOOD POINTS.

[samthetvcat]

Wow, some of these neo-con pieces are so of the mark you really have to struggle to finish it... I only made it to the 5th paragraph with this one.

Anyway, it sounded a lot like Bush''s idea that the neocons stand for ''toughness'' and Obama stands for ''naivete'' and therefore equals ''danger!''... WRONG! The Repubs need to listen to that guy in their own ranks who yesterday said the Repub brand was like tainted dog food.

Shrub is a one-tool fool - meaning ALL he knows how to do is scan the horizon for potential threats and ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!!! The vast majority of us think he and anybody who advocates staying so much as one more day in Iraq past Jan. 1 is like a buffoon bordering on a psycho - in the very least barely functional as a well-adjusted human being with an array of problem-solving abilities and capacities.

The GOP brand is so tarnished, I don''t even think voters need to be able to recognize that when Shrub and his cronies mouth off he''s oversimplifying people into ''tough''/''not tough'' because he lacks the capacity to evaluate situations and use the appropriate choice of competition, cooperation, disengagement, or wait-and-see, at the appropriate level of strength. All people need to see for the GOP to get trounced this November is that the Democrats aren''t hyper-aggressive like McShrub and that difference will be enough because the GOP have cried wolf WAY too many times.

[truthyness]

The people of the Democratic Party have had our rights spit on by Obama, the Democratic leadership and the media.

Some of us are too smart for the lies, the hype, the deception and all the insults.

Some of us will not forget.

Some of us will continue to fight back long after this election
is over.

What''s going to happen if George W Bush becomes president in 2000?

Oh, wait, that already happened.
My God, what a disaster.

[concerned01]

Ths person has a right to opinions, but there is no vestige of sense or reality in the poison he writes... not all Conservatives thin this way - this guy is simply a bad apple and giving Conservatives a very VERY bad name.

Mr. Novak''s logic is scary. If his reasoning is correct, the only possibility is to have United State dominate the world either by military or financial means. The concept of world peace and co-existence will never be achieved in his scenerio. Furthermore, he should realized that people and nations in the 21th century are much smarter. Trick and deception like occupation with dummy government and colonization by manipulation of unjust legal means will no longer be tolerated and are bound to failure. It''s just a matter of time.

[irliberal]

Oh the neocons are scared... it''s kind of funny, and I might feel sorry for them if they hadn''t done some much horrific damage over the past 8 years...

Hallelujah. Somebody GETS it.

Today on Nova-M radio, Robert Wexler (D-FL) said
"GENERALS STARTED FINALLY LISTENING TO OBAMA''S SUGGESTIONS" when he argued that Musharraf could not openly give permission for targetted strikes for fear of being assasinated

Here is what he was talking about --

1. August 2007 debate: Obama makes vocal case for striking terrorists inside Pakistan
"Let me make this clear: There are terrorists holed up in those mountains, that murdered 3,000 Americans," said Obama during the counterterrorism address. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-valued terrorist targets and if President Musharraf will not act, we will."

2. McCain, Hillary, Dodd, Biden all critisize him saying we should not be working against Musharraf our only advocate in the region

3. December 2007: Bhutto assassinated by terrorists

4. The Washington Post reported that in late January, a CIA aircraft fired on several buildings in the Pakistani town of Mir Ali, killing a senior al-Qaida commander and several others. The paper, quoting anonymous U.S. officials, said that the action was done without seeking approval from the Pakistani government.

5. Mid February ''08, Musharraf voted out of power; US has spent $11B trying to prop. up Musharraf

6. Late February, Senator Dodd endorsed Obama

Article: "One of the wisest American former officials I know asked me a few nights ago: ''Michael, put on your thinking cap, and tell me where the United States will be four years from now, if Barack Obama is president.'' "

Well, it''ll be CR*P!!!

It doesn''t matter WHO the next president of the U.S. is. He/She will always be known as the ''can''t do'' president.

Why do you think GW Bush has just DOUBLED the NATIONAL debt? After 30 YEARS of supply-side (read: living off our children) governance?

Folks. The battle is OVER. YOU LOST!! The rich have gotten richer, and are now fighting each other to dump dollars the fastest and move out of the U.S.

Geesh, people. Can''t you even figure out when you''re beaten???

[jaykay3141]

I was going to suggest that Mr. Novak take this trash and put it out for recycling, but I forgot that neocons don''t believe in trying to help the environment.

Beam me up, Scotty.

Dubya had one of the most experienced Vice Presidents on paper to hold the office, and appointed a Cabinet that was deep in Washington experience, ironically Condi Rice was probably one of the least experienced. In any case look where that got us. I haven''t decided who I will vote for in the fall, but my feeling is it can''t get worse than it is.

[it_oldtimer]

The Conservative Agenda isn''t just "immoral", it''s truly "amoral"

Immoral means "morally wrong; corrupt".

Amoral means : "Lacking moral sensibility; NOT CARING ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG".

The Conservatives only care about [personally] enriching themselves in any way that they can, with no regard to whether how they do it is "morally correct" or not (even by their OWN religious standards).

[joyous88]

The conservative agenda is immoral

[joyous88]

these republicons, and I do mean CON,

voted and supported bush all these years , now they are worried about someone different than bush??

get real! anybody but McBushCain could do a better job

[it_oldtimer]

The "Conservative Agenda" is obviously to open the entire world up to CAPITALISM (NOT "Freedom" or "Democracy" as many Conservatives like to claim). They want unfettered corporate access to every nation on the planet, so they can make more money.

Not every person, or every nation, or every religion values Capitalism - and for very good reason. To many, "religious conservatism" trumps profit-taking every time, and they reject the idea that money is more important than religious piety.

And that is their choice to make, not ours. Who are we to say that our way is right, and theirs wrong?

What ignorant and hypocritical arrogance.

[joyous88]

NRO,

jusr another part of the right wing noise machine

nazi fascists, that is what republicons have become

time for a change, after 12 years of lieing ,cheating

and stealing, and Bush the first truely anti american

president, like him?, vote for McBushsame

[closethippy1]

Boy do we need a change of guard or what?! G freaking *** it! I''m tired of the same talking heads who have been cluttering our airwaves for the past 50 years.
We need a new way of thinking, for crying out loud. To paraphrase Einstein, we cannot solve today''s problems with the mentality we had when we first created them!
How true and it''s time we clean the slate and give new blood a chance.
