What he said was the truth. Everything has gotten so Orwellian it is creepy. The silence about it from both left and right is disturbing.
Truth = nuts.
Free speech = treason.

Wow....I know most of you hate his guts but...
he is a human being after all, and he just looks to me like he hs the weight of the world on his shoulders, and doesn't try to hide it for a photo op. I don't agree with all the decisions he has made, but I am firmly behind him on his terrorism stance, and I appreciate the fact that he doesn't mind showing his emotions. He is the FIRST President I have ever seen in tears talking with fallen soldiers' families, and he is not the first President to be in power in wartime. Yet many will say he doesn't care that soldiers die. Which is a ridiculous statement. Like I said, I do not agree with many decisions he has made, but I don't think he is the devil incarnate. As much as I have heard Obama say he was against the war, he wouldn't even go and visit wounded soldiers still living, and I certainly have never seen him in tears or even the least bit emotional talking about the losses. To him it is numbers it would appear...to Bush those numbers have faces and families. I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't what was on his mind in this photo.
I just don't understand the demonization of one man. I didn't see that treatment of Kennedy during Viet Nam or Clinton during Somalia and Kosovo...but of course, those men were Democrats. I guess that makes a difference in the minds of some. In mine...not so much.
Well, if you have the guts, go to the site...
http://www.abort73.com/ and view that video. The one that starts out with warning, graphic images. Then you come back here and tell me about baby mutilation.
And frankly, the way a bill is worded means nothing. If you would vote against a bill designed to save a child born alive for ANY reason, you are, in MY opinion, morally bankrupt. That is putting politics above the life of a child, and that tells me all I want to know about Barack Obama's decision-making process. If that sits okay in your books, fine, you certainly have the right to your opinion. I have the right to mine as well...and it does not sit okay with me.
I saw her. The lady has guts too!

So, you don't have the guts to comment on
the mass execution of 3000 women, children and elders in Sabra and Shatila? Sort of reminiscent of Nazi concentration camp tactics, don't you think? Line 'em up single file and gun 'em down. Fine by you, yes? Children, no problem, right? After all, they are born terrorists, according to you.
OBAMANOMICS: In your guts you know he's
So, we all know that California is absolutely on the brink of bankruptcy - perhaps as soon as July. The state desperately needs to make certain wage cuts - and the Obama administration responds by threatening to rescind the state's share of stimulus money!! Can you say "oxymoron"??
Now, if the more cynical among you might be wondering if a union could be behind this ridiculous situation...well, you'd be right. The infamous SEIU - just another boil on the backside of this nation.
Zell Miller is the man!! That man has guts. That is the ONE...
Democrat I vote for. What are you gonna fight them with? Spitballs?? Love him. lol.
It was the truth & I admire Colbert's guts. sm
Typical neo-conservative, do not like the message shoot the messenger. Colbert said what MOST of us think, but are afraid to say. The looks on their faces were priceless.
I think Lieberman puts Country first. -has guts.nm

Not enough people in this country have the guts for a tax revolt.
Unfortunately, the game is rigged against that too, because you need to be able to defeat an incumbent in the primary (in order to have another candidate of your party), and many incumbents run unchallenged in their primaries. This means you have to vote against them in the general election by voting for a candidate of another party. Many people find this very repugnant to do unless the candidate is truly very moderate.
When you really look at how the major parties have rigged the electoral process to keep themselves in office, you can see the extent of the corruption. On the other hand, when you look at countries that have more than two major parties, those don't work any better because two of them will get together to collude against the third party, etc. Israel is a good example of the mess you get into with multiple parties, none of which can get elected by themselves. They end up forming "alliances" with other parties and it gets very complicated just trying to figure out "who" is going to be in power or what they will do.
Perhaps there's a really big question here: Is mankind capable of competent self-government that is free of corruption, influence-peddling, secret deals and lies? I am beginning to think not.
He tells the truth. has guts. Shows compassion
