QUOTE OF THE DECADE:

dheffleydheffley Member Posts: 25,000
edited May 2012 in General Discussion
This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2011.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of Idiots such as those who made him their president."

    That multitude of idiots is lining up once again to re-elect Obama, or to elect Romney for little other reason than he is not Obama.

    There are a few million with their eye on the Republic, but make no doubt, mindless acquiescence to what is presented by the RNC will not change the truth of what is stated in the OP.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    More internet B.S. That supposed quote has been going around for several years. Here it is, saying from 2010:

    And I have found versions of it saying from 2009. But the "original" article doesn't exist.

    We the people get exactly what we ask for. We are electing these fools and losers. When was the last time any of you ran for a local elected office?? When was the last time any of you volunteered to help a local, State or Federal officials campaign?? You know, make phone calls, put up signs, knock on doors. Yes, I know, we all got busy lives. Hey Honey, hurry up and get in here, American Idol is starting!!

    I know that most of us say they are all the same, doesn't matter who we vote for. Repuckican or Demoncrat, no difference so why take the time to get involved if there is no difference?? Hey Baby, Survivors about to start!!

    Many years ago I used to volunteer for local campaigns. About an hour ago I called my local congressmans office and voluteered to help with his upcoming campaign. They actually seemed quite appreciative. I know it is not much, but it is more than 99+% of the people do.

    So any one else up to trying to make a difference??

    I know, it really is easier to whine and *. Hon, bring me another beer! Where's the remote??

    So now GB have someone posting political BS on the General Discussion Forums.

    That though is not enough, he is glib enough to state that he doesn't care if what he posted is true or not . . . he just likes it and will post it none the less? [?]

    We saw that same rag posted here previously. It was never verified or proven to have any merit or truth. And now we get to see the same old mud. With investigation then it was stated to be BS and now it is resurrected by the "Truth Finder"?

    Forgive me, but is this the same individual that lambasted a member yesterday and razzed him to no end, or maybe to the bitter end? [?]

    Hahahaha. I admit when I don't know if something is true. I don't try to hide it as fact. I liked the post and copied it here so others could read it. Evidently, they liked it to.

    Take it or leave it. It don't present it as fact. Many of us get emails we copy and post here. This one had nothing to do with a possible sexual assault.

    PS, I'm not threating anyone with law suits because they pointed out it was an internet hoax. I think that's good to know, but like I said earlier, I still like it.[;)]

    This exact point has been made by others LONG ago about every possible elected official.

    That being said, it's definitely true.

    Unlike you two, many of them stood and died for freedom and independence at least twice in the last century and they produced one of the most eloquent and iconic figures of anti-communism ever to emerge from behind the Iron Curtain and Europe in general.

    so in your opinion, "doing what is right" is HELPING Barrack Hussein Obama?

    Got it.

    Defend it all you want, but actions have consequences and intentions matter for NOTHING in the electoral balance when you choose to help someone who is even more antithetical to your positions than the other mainstream candidate.

    Flame away, Ronulan.

    So you would rather vote for someone who has a better chance of getting anti-freedom measures passed through the legislative bodies? At least with Obama everyone of a conservative nature knows that he is a snake. I would rather deal with a wolf than a wolf in sheeps clothing.

    A proud and freedom loving people who stood up against the Soviet Block during Prague Spring back in 1968 under teh leadership of Alexander Dub?ek. when the Soviets invaded the Czechs appealed to the NATO for help but the United States was too preoccupied with propping up that band of corrupt and inept stooges that we put into power in Saigon to bother with helping some real anti communist freedom fighters.

    The intention is to show the RNC that we won't put up with the crap they are presenting. And while intentions are not terribly important, a short term loss resulting in a second Obama Term is a trivial cost compared to the long-term damage the current mainstream candidates will continue to do. The masses, however, seem to be falling into lock-step with the party.

    Flail away, Rombie.

    +100

    What the Rhomboids are missing is that The Paul campaign is placing quality constitutional supporters in top positions in the GOP at every level and is thereby working to restore the fundamental conservative nature of the GOP. This will have positive effects far past the present election and is the only way we will get significant restoration underway.

    Ok, yet you didn't reference the ENTIRE post (email). Therefore, you posed the first line, outside of quotes, as your own, stating that according to YOU, it appeared in the article.

    I believe we request that our members ensure accuracy of statements, especially inflammatory or controversial ones, BEFORE they post them. This has happened MANY times here. You've done it yourself. I'm guilty of it.

    I don't agree or disagree with the post, since it is false, but Alan Rushing made a good point earlier. Are you immune to fact checking because of your moderator status? Why not just admit that you should have checked, instead of redirecting to some other nameless source and blaming IT?
