along similar lines A friend had shared this article with me earlier today taken from The American Thinker.com (ironic name given the content):

I Finally Understand Democrats

By Johnny Alamo

After years of puzzlement and curiosity observing modern day Democrats, I think I have finally figured them out.

I'm constantly amazed that modern Democrats have evolved beyond living in caves. I mean what other animal on this planet can disregard all common sense and logic and survive? Scientists have recently discovered that even giant sea slugs that do not possess a brain as such can learn from past experiences. That puts them a leg up over the current crop of liberals in this country. I used to subscribe to the adage that liberalism was a mental disorder, but even Rainman would have a hard time buying into the standard mantra of the present day Democratic Party. In order to believe that Democrats have the answer today, you would have to believe:

That you can grow the entitlement class beyond the taxpayer class and never hit critical mass where there is no money left.

That using the military to oust a murderous thug dictator in 2003 was criminal, and using the military to oust a murderous thug dictator in 2011 was noble.

That the best way to grow the wealth of the private sector is to take all the money out of it.

That the best way to make us energy independent is to block any effort to produce more petrocarbons in this country.

That the best way to create jobs is to increase taxes and regulations on the job creators.

That the best way to stop arms from this country from getting into the hands of the drug cartels in Mexico is to provide arms to the drug cartels in Mexico.

That all the ills of the economy are due to the fat cat banks and other corporations, and the best way to deal with that is to provide billions in bailouts to the fat cat banks and other corporations.

That more unemployment checks create more jobs.

That investigating the background of George W Bush to the point that you have color photographs of his colon is proper vetting of the Chief Executive, but asking for Barack Hussein Obama's college records or for information on his association with a known terrorist is racist.

That somehow making firearms illegal will prevent criminals from using them.

That the life of a murderer on death row is sacred, but an unborn baby's is not.

That the best way to overcome our racist past is to enforce racist affirmative action policies.

That people who are too ignorant to get a free state issued I.D. card are smart enough to vote.

That the best way to overcome our current spending crisis is to spend more money.

That the federal government with no competition can provide a better health care product than the private sector with competition can.

That a grandma in a wheelchair is a bigger potential threat on an airplane than a guy with a name that takes phlegm to pronounce.

That we need to be sensitive to the feelings of people that subscribe to a religion that teaches that we all should submit to their version of righteousness or face beheading, but should demean and diminish those that believe in the religion that teaches we should love and embrace our neighbors no matter what religion they belong to.

That poll watchers who want to ensure that election laws are observed and the vote is without fraud are intimidating voters, and black radicals with clubs in front of a polling place are not.

That ice ages and the warming periods in between were not caused by man's influence on the earth but a half degree rise in average temperatures over 30 years is.

That using the equivalent of two gallons of fossil fuel to produce one gallon of ethanol makes sense because it is "renewable."

That a picture of a female guard in Abu Ghraib pointing at the genitals of a terrorist and laughing is deplorable but those same goofballs setting off an IED and killing our troops are just freedom fighters.

That a 70 year old woman with a Gadsden flag is a radical but an OWS protestor that defecates on a police car and breaks windows of businesses is a frustrated citizen.

That in spite of the fact that one third of the world is hungry it makes more sense to use food for fuel than drilling for a fuel source that nobody can eat.

The simple fact is that Democrats are the Dodo birds of the human race. The Dodo was discovered by Portuguese explorers in the late 1500's. The name comes from the Portuguese word "Doudo" which means simpleton. They called this bird a simpleton because in their minds it lacked any common sense whatsoever. That lack of common sense or survival instinct eventually led to its demise as a species.

Wait a minute, that's not really fair of me, I shouldn't equate Democrats to a simple minded flightless bird that was too stupid to run from predators. The Dodo had a job foraging for food.

Similar agenda and focus on listing tired talking points that are high on vitriol and low on honest analysis.

So much for being an "american thinker"...

So, just to be clear, despite having been shown how most of the things in that email are outright lies, and the remainder are blatant half-truths and exaggerations mixed in with 2-3 truthful statements (albeit heavily biased ones), you still maintain a belief that those lies are true?

I just want to be clear on this.

You know, I could be short sighted, and blame everything on the current president, not thinking about what happened in the past (presidencies) and how those actions have affected the future,

or I could just sit back and watch, disgusted, in both the processes that are going on in the US government and the pre-school bickering that goes on between the parties, all the while just waiting for the inevitable revolution.

**DAaddict**

Personnally I am sick of hearing how everything that Obama has to deal with is due to GW Bush. I think 3 years into his presidency, some of the problems are of his own making. (Unless he is subliminally telling us he has done and continues to do nothing so that he cannot be guilty.)

OTOH, I don't hold out much hope that a Republican nominee is going to change things all that much. My one hope with a Republican is they will at least slow down the accumulation of national debt. I don't have exact numbers but a few weeks ago I was hearing the national press touting that we would only go about a trillion in the hole each year for the next 5 years or so.

So 230 years to accumulate 10 trillion in debt and 3 to accumulate about 5 trillion more and the good news is that we are "only" going to go another 5 trillion in the hole over the next 5 years.

To sound sexist, this sounds like the wife who comes home and tells her husband she saved them $500 by buying the mink coat that was on sale for only $2000.

Oh god it's like you know my wife.

As far as birth certificates go: Give me six months and a coupla million dollars and I can provide one saying I was born in the "7th ring of Dante's Inferno".

Preach it!

Besides even if the "The Law"* is willing to accept a HAWAIIAN certificate of whatever, doesn't make someone a real AMERICAN. Hell it doesn't even make them a real NORTH AMERICAN (that's something that at least a Mexican could claim!). Just because something is "Legal" doesn't make it right.

It's doubly sad to think that because you're from a "blue" state that you own America.

Hey Red....your neck is showing? I certainly hope so. Spelling? Sorry, I was told the spelling Gestapo was disbanded.

As for compasses: Who needs one when you can follow the smell of "SMUG".

Although this "Slam-break" has been entertaining, we should probably get back to the topic.

I see, it appears that this thread is exactly what I thought it was. Well then, when in Rome...

I don't know where you come from son, but this here is America, and English is our national language. If you can't be bothered to learn it, maybe you should go back across the border to where you came from.

Alternatively, <insert Sam Jackson's famous line from Pulp Fiction>.

Never feel uncomfortable just because you're inbred and have bad teeth. Most of the folks in the heartland will feel sorry for you but be quite accomodating of that, just don't tell them you're from NE.

If you want to claim Hawaii isn't a state, I'm gonna go on record saying that only Texan birth certificates count.

But I'd rather just ignore the birther crowd to begin with...

And the original post too, I admit, I still haven't read anything beyond the first paragraph and what was quoted by ohers. It's too... garbage.

Oh it might be a "State" but it certainly isn't part of America. Show me on a map exactly how that works. Again just cause the "Law" says it's ok, doesn't mean it's right for America.

So the people born in Hawaii aren't American Citizens?

So why do they have Senators?

Or Congressmen?

Or a god damn star on Old Glory?

Hey Boss, I live in Ok (that's Oklahoma). Not sure how you get this as a Blue state.
And as Red as it is, I can definitely tell you conservatives are smug.

Agreed.

Unlike you I understand that America belongs to all of us.

See that is the problem for a group of people that spends so much time talking about the spirit of America, and patriotism and waving the flag many of you really have no fething idea what the spirit of America or that flag really symbolize.

As much as you all want it to mean "kill Haji" and "get rid of the mexicans and queers" it actually symbolizes the concept of the melting pot and accepting the differences of others.

Go back and read your posts over the past 24 hours: in which you want to claim Hawaii isn't really America" , or that the president is actually an outsider, or that New England isn't a part of "real America". You are the only one preaching division on this level.

As much as your type tries to talk about Patriotism and being "real Americans", you symbolize by your words and actions a a toal ignorance of the constiturion, the intent of the founding fathers, or what the flag you are so fond of waving represents.

Why do you hate America so much?

This ISN'T American in ideal/principle no matter how many flags you disgrace by waving them...

Hey Chongara. That isn't just the United states. You are missing Hawaii and Alaska. Alaska being half the size of the United states. Now Obama may not be a mainland American. But it still makes him an american. Of course John Mccain was born in Panama. Yes He was born in Panama.
Stop talking about his birth certificate. It is legit and people that keep saying no it isn't. Clearly have never tried to get an identity change.

For goodness sakes. He is trying his best. Considering how much corruption is within the government it makes the 50's look good!
