Straw, you're confused again. Proud, intelligent Americans voted for Kerry.  Bush supporters stupidly mistake fear for pride, and genuine intelligence is something they seem to find offensive. Liberals know that the idiocy at the top of our government is only temporary, and there is a simple reason for this: Bush supporters don't really care about their children. This is made clear by their desire to push so many problems onto their childrens' shoulders. Teenagers will gradually recognize their parents lack of concern, and there will be a massive swing to the left as they become eligible to vote. Note: This post conforms to the Strawberry Style Code of Master Baiting(tm). | ||

During a time where Howard Dean may become the next chairman of the DNC, you're going to say with a straight face that the mainstream Dem party hasn't entered radical territory? The Dem party is in trouble. Dean, Moore, Kerry, Kennedy, Hillary, Gore. These people cannpt continue to hold the Dems hostage. They need some leadership that makes sense to mainstream America. And to be frank, they don't have anyone up for the task. Obama, maybe he's the future of the party. As a Republican I can only say I hope so. | ||

notehead, I acknowledge W's impact around the world, and understand why he was chosen Time's Person of the Year. What I object to is the idiotic notion that all of MOL would feel the need to "thank" Time magazine for their choice. | ||

Here's an example of what confused liberals sound like today. "Liberals know that the idiocy at the top of our government is only temporary, and there is a simple reason for this: Bush supporters don't really care about their children. This is made clear by their desire to push so many problems onto their childrens' shoulders. Teenagers will gradually recognize their parents lack of concern, and there will be a massive swing to the left as they become eligible to vote." sounds almost like a Notehead post from Oct. Except, back then he said change was a month away, not 4 years away. | ||

A complete list along with some tidbits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_the_Year It seems like an automatic choice for the POTUS to be made person of the year. | ||

I think Straw's current nom de plume says it all. | ||

 Its so easy to argue with this kid... Michael Moore didn't run for president. Bush beat Michael? Try and atleast think about what you're saying before hitting enter. Michael Moore runs the Democratic party? Lmao. I have heard more Democrats distance themselves from the man rather than endorse him... yet even if they did endorse him... can I say that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth won the election? Those crazy senile men must run the Republican party. I would not be prancing flamboyantly as you're doing over the fact that the man has been chosen as most influential. Hitler was the most influencial man of his time... I'm sure had Time been around back then he would have been man of the year, would little angry nazis be surfing the internet proclaiming that was a great thing? Probably. It's not a compliment. | ||

Oh and by the way, I know you love, to make up for the clear lack of public support for the president, inserting things like "he has once again been chosen by the american people!!" every chance you get, BUT... Hate to break it to you, the American people had nothing to do with this decision. It was Time editors, and a single man who made the final call. Quit your rhetoric. | ||

Matthew: Hitler was chosen as Time magazine's Man of the Year for 1938. The similarities continue... | ||

I was going to create a new post, but after reading this thread perhaps it fits in here. First, let me state I believe in freedom of speech. Second, during election time both sides come out swinging and perhaps say things that are more hurtful than helpful to their respective causes. This afternoon as I was passing by the PO on Maplewood Ave., I was shocked to see a Larouche political stand set up right in front. It was very crude with hand-lettered signs, etc. along with literature. The guy giving the stuff out was extremely rude. My beef was those handmade signs. In a time of war in which our military are fighting and dying is it free speech to post slogans calling our elected president "nuts"? In addition, one sign suggested kicking him in the ----! What do you suppose the kids walking home from school thought about this? How can we teach respect to kids if such vulgar and treasonous statements are considered OK? Remember, this is not pre-election time nor peace time. I went into the PO with another person equally struck by this display to speak to the supervisor. At first he said it was none of his business. After hearing about what was on the signs he said he would call the police. I returned home and let the police and clerk's office know how I felt about it. I know I'll be dumped on by those of you who believe anything goes. Some of the stuff written on his board two months after the election by educated adults also is a little scary. BTW, when did Larouche get out of jail and is he campaigning for 2008? | ||

In a time when our soldiers are fighting and dying for "freedom" in Iraq, you called the cops on a guy expressing his political beliefs (albeit crudely) here in the U.S.? The irony runs deep... | ||

What Notehead said. (And TIME clearly explains this in describing their selection process.) Of course, that is why there have been "honorees" (if in fact it is an honor) such as Hitler and Stalin. And it is why, for those of us who understand this, this is not seen as an endorsement of anything. | ||

gotta love the libs who just can't except the fact that Bush is the most powerful man not only in the nation but in the world And to every jackass who somehow equates the nomination as being Time's way of saying Bush is Hitler, there's only one thing to say: Anyone who buys this line is a moron. And I might add as we can see above there are quite a few here on MOL. Remember folks, if you voted for Kerry, enjoyed Farenheit 911, and listen to Al Franken chances are you're very dumb.  Silly libs, they never learn. Republicans own the White House, Senate, House, Supreme Ct, California, NYC, Texas...the list goes on and on and on DEMS ARE A USELESS PARTY SUPPORTED BY USELESS PEOPLE. | ||

I'm with you Straw... I am ever so pleased that G.W. Bush is President. I am grateful that the Senate is going to be able to confirm apropriate judges for the first time in many years. I am looking forward to celebrating Christmas again this December 25th and not just recognizing some "holiday season." And Straw, Happy Hanakauh to you and yours! Saw a sign in town that said, "Joys of the Season." I think the retailer sould consider keeping the sign up year round, as it always some season and we all should be joyous that we live here in America. | ||

"gotta love the libs who just can't except the fact that Bush is the most powerful man not only in the nation but in the world" While we may take exception to that, we do accept the fact that he is the current incumbent in that office. Sure, it's a little scary, but what can you do? |
