Is that what Obama's saying? He's gonna whip America's big fat ass into shape?

Or is he saying something else, like we need to sacrifice, because we suck.

We are probably the single most wasteful nation in the world.

The need to get as grip on our hedonistic lifestyle is huge.

One earth. 20% of the population consume 80% of the resources.

Hardly seems fair.

I think Obama is talking about is a little something known as sharing.

So we need an iron-fisted leader to teach us how to really suffer, like all lazy no-good Americans should. And Obama's just the man to do it?

Hell no. We need someone to kick ass on the media and let them show us what dolts we really are. It's the smoke and mirrors that say "Everything is just dandy-now go buy a winnegabo" that needs to be crushed.

Does it take an iron fist to make you act like a responsible human being?

Oh, so he's going to control the media.

I see.

The media will make us suffer. Old people and children can have hot homes in summer, cold homes in winter, and they can by god walk wherever they go. And no more tasty food, gruel for everyone.

Sounds like fun! When do I get to vote for him... I can hardly wait.

Why should you get to choose how everyone else lives.

Did you post this to get people to diss the man?

I think it's about time that the American public was made aware of how the rest of the world sees us-as ruthless, wasteful exploiters. Rather than this bullshit "generous benfactors" crap the media uses.

He's telling me I can't eat what I want, then yeah I think everyone should dis the man. And regardless what everyone else thinks, it isn't anyones job to tell my parents or grandparents that they have to suffer and cook, freeze, starve, and quit going to the places they need to be when they need to go there just because they're Americans.

Americans must suffer, huh... that's his campaign platform? He might have some trouble with that.

Wow! I never told you anything. I asked a question. But you seem to like sticking unrelated things together and pretending you have made a point.

Listing a bunch of scary things and stickling the name of the candidate you don't like on is so original and utterly convincing, BTW.

Back to my question: does it take an iron fist to make you behave responsibly?

Z.

Economic equality across the world was a major tenet of the communists.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

There is no way in hell I would ever cast a vote for this man...

Ha ha CD. He says face reality and you twist that to be communism. You and Sanity are doing a great job of manufacturing objections. And if you are going to dis communism at least get it right.

It's a given what you mean by "acting like a responsible human being" Z.

Therefore the question in return. It's simple enough, what don't you get.

More and more, I'm deciding what Barry means by ending partisanship is, "everybody who doesn't agree needs to shut up."

I can't believe the Dems are going to throw it away with this guy.

This is futile, my vote will cancel yours. And I AM going to vote for him. You just helped me to decide.

Ummm. That's not a question - that's a statement.

Did you mean do I require an iron fist to make me be responsible? No. And by responsible I already said, sharing. Everybody on this planet could have all they want to eat. There's no need to have that privilege at the expense of the lives of others. It doesn't have to be exclusive.

Unless you live in the same state, that's a pretty empty threat, Leath.
