    The Right Wing
    Hello:

    I'm confused. I HOPE you can help - cause then we can get down to it. But, I have a hard time arguing with clouds... I'll TRY to be specific, because I don't want to be accused of being a cloud myself...

    Arguing with smoothy is like arguing with a cloud. There's NOTHING to it. It's pretty - but it has no substance. And, I thought smoothy was the only one... Then I saw Ken Blackwell being interviewed by Jon Stuart. He sounds exactly like smoothy. NOW I know where it comes from...

    Here's my confusion. It's the same as Jon Stuarts if you watch. But, if you didn't, Ken Blackwell proposes that Obama is a tyrant, making a power grab, and is attempting to change our democracy forever. I've heard that stuff before... And, as an observer of political affairs, I wondered if these people know something I don't.

    Then I find out, if Ken Blackwell is an example, they DON'T. The appointment of czars, the stimulus, and the ability to appoint judges, even though those are ALL constitutional powers the president has, IS all the evidence Ken Blackwell needs. He's also convinced Obama wants to take his guns away, even though the ONLY thing Obama has done, or PROPOSES to do about guns, is EXPAND the rights of gun owners...

    Can you straighten me out?

    Ex, you may be beyond straightening out.

    I'll just touch on one part, that Obama "is attempting to change our democracy forever." He's only said that was his goal, to "fundamentally transform the United States of America," some 487,692 times in one way or another, give or take a few. I believe him, you don't?

    Hello Steve:

    Funny. I never heard him say that. THAT wouldn't be good. I DID here him say that he was going to CHANGE America. That's different than FUNDAMENTALLY changing America. Certainly, I understood the change to mean FROM George W. Bush. You thought he was talking about Marxism, or something like that... Dude!

    Nonetheless, talk is cheap. I want to know what he's DONE to make you righty's so apoplectic. And, of course, you're going to show me where he said he was going to FUNDAMENTALLY transform the US.

    Lefties have to be willing to see beyond what their party tells them to believe.

    Obama isn't God contrary to the popular opinion of the hard left... most of his appointments do require approval. Just like they do when a Republican is in office.

    You never saw the Boulder Colorado convention... where they recreated Mount Olympis? Home of the Greek Gods? THe right had NOTHING at all to do with that. That was 110% Democrat responsibility.

    And it's the left that gets their panties in a knot because, gasp... everyone does not agree with everything the Lord and Messiah says or claims.

    All you really need to know about Blackwell is that Michael Steele beat him for RNC chair.

    Actually the exact quote from the President was “We are going to fundamentally transform the United States of America.”

    I'll get back to you about what he wrote as I have yet to read it and probably won't . Generally I stay away from the wilder theories ;although I do think the President has more of an ideological bend ,and is willing to steer the country in that direction, than you care to admit.

    Edit. I have yet to see executive action on his part that crosses Constitutional bounds.

    THE DEMOCRATS that designed it made it look like Mount Olympus... THEY even called it that... until it became unfashionible and now pretend they never did it. Exactly WHY would they make anything look like an ancient Greek Temple given all the other possibilities they had?

    For a man who never did or completed anything of note in his life... that they claimed had all the answers... whos entire life is shrouded in mystery, who has spent over $2 million dollars fighting just to keep his birth certificate secret not to mention almost everything else about his life.

    It wasn't the Republicans that created it. It was the Democrats.

    Are your memories really that short? His entire campaign was 'change,' hope and change, fundamental change, fundamental transformation, change we can believe in - even "change the world."

    Oh he's conservative all right ,and I'll have to defer about his performance on Stewart (a person who is very adept at controlling the narrative on his own stage ) . I don't have video here .
    The more I think about it Blackwell could not have been worse than Steele at the job of RNC.

    I also took the last few minutes or two to browse through some of Blackwell oped's at American Thinker. He appears to have solid reasoning in those . Blackwell had a solid public career in a swing state (actually the swing State of Ohio)not known as fringe. The people must've seen something there .

    No its to show a patern in his behavior. You can't really listen to what he is saying its more a matter of what he is doing. And to me its sad that this country has sunk to an all time low. So far I don't see him doing much in the way of things he says but I can see plenty in what he does. That is the scary part.

    YOU have NOTHING to prove most he has said thus far was the truth... because we have videos of him making claims and his actions later being the total opposite. But then, no good democrat ever let the facts get in the way of a rant.

    Muhc like no drive by media person ever let the facts get in the way of a story. Ask Dan Rather about that one... CBS and him got caught fabricating... "supporting evidence".

    But then... I suppost you believe it was real even after all the proof and CBS admitting it was a fabricatrion like many democrats.
