Obama Asserts Beijing Infrastructure "Vastly Superior" To Ours
|

Obama, earlier today:
Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics , Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now, which means if you are a coporation deciding where to do business you're starting to think, "Beijing looks like a pretty good option."
I suppose so. Provided you don't mind de minimus pollution controls, employing people under Chinese labor conditions, and you don't mind construction standards in the countryside that allow the collapse of thousands of buildings including schools when the earthquake hits, killing tens of thousands.
Obama has said a lot of stupid things recently, but the idea that totalitarian eye-candy engineering proves Beijing is the better than America is near the top of the list.
For more on Obama's very bad day, see ExUrbanLeague's diagram of the Battle of Elitisma.
UPDATE: From an e-mail:
hundreds of millions of chinese live in the countryside WITHOUT REGULAR
ACCESS TO UTILITIES, EDUCATION OR CLEAN WATER and modern farming
equipment....
about half of the Chinese hover right around malnutrition and no
education...
But Obama finds a way to condemn the U.S. by comparison.

I am not a big Biden for President fan, but of all the Dems he is the least offensive. The problem for Obama is Obama. Does Obama remember how many people he has thrown under the bus?
Let's count:
Grandma "a typical white woman"
Kenya Bro Bama
Jeremiah Wright
Father Pfleger
Bill Ayers
Hillary Clinton
I am sure you can all remember more. |
|
I guess the Chinese could learn some California building code standards couldn't they? Remember all the deaths and orphans? That earthquake was not that much worse than ones that hit California every few years.
Know Hope Barry. |

will be the day, when you can back up your duty/liberty assertion. Or maybe thats what you meant, when you said that you were "scalin' back". "Scalin' back" on the truth, that is!
Over the last month, you have been, well, just flogged here at HH, to the extent that you have become the new, "bjob", someone had to take her place, and besides, poor "bugsy" has to have his other half of the "dual fools". As it becomes more and more clear that obambi's chances are dwindling, you on the left will become more shrill, blaming it on racism. This no doubt, will happen, stoking racial tensions. You on the left will be to blame. |

"born again", if you said that i was not a graduate of a University, to prove i was, i would produce a diploma as prove. For prove of one's salvation, that is "born again", one would have to go to the bible. Therefore, to the bible we will go, looking for those "explicit scriptures", you are so noted for. Lets start with John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should NOT perish, but have everlasting life". John 4:14, "But WHOSOEVER drinketh of the water that i shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that i shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life". John 3:36, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him". These are just 3 verses that i've commented to memory, that totally refute your assertion, and i've got hundreds more, but for now these more than suffice. So now Mr. pathetic, with scripture, prove me wrong. If you cannot, then once again, it proves for all to see, that you just make stuff up.
You really seem to be losing it, you're more pathetic than normal, not happy with slow joe, or maybe obambi's wimpy showing of late. You better get a grip, fan tan, theres more rain in the clouds. |

"Me: Since when was elitism measured in $? Idiot."
It's a big, big part of it. McCain and his surrogates talked about how Obama had "attended an expensive private school" (on scholarship, but never mind that), how his "wealth has doubled during his campaign, and shot up tenfold since he entered the Senate," how he "eats fancy food at fancy restaurants," and how he "has millions in the bank." The photo they used shows Obama on the left half and a pile of twenty- and fifty-dollar bills on the right. They talk about how he's been swimming on private beaches in Hawaii (there are no private beaches in Hawaii, but if there were, they'd be expensive).
Those things all seem to involve money in various ways.
Would you assume that someone being accused of being elitist is poor? Do you know of a lot of poor people who are accused of being elitist? |

This Pathetic Liberal sounded the alarm (another indicator of his narcissistic need) 2 weeks ago that he was "scalin' back" his postings on Hugh Hewitt's site----"better things to do...".
HE HAS POSTED MORE in these past two weeks than ever before---making his announcement (attached below) as feckless as anything else he pronounces. What a second-rater!

Duane's post practically lisps. What are you, stupid? No, I remember--you're blameless.
Btw, did you second-raters kick out Brob or something? I've been gone, and the non-masochists in here will be delighted to learn that I am scaling back my posts here. Got better things to do with my time now.
You got it (he said it--not anyone else)----"I am scalin' back my posts here"
YEP-----"got better things to do with my time".
What a jackass.
(it was on this thread, that PL accused Duane of calling Obama, "gay", even though there was nothing to back up this salacious claim)

"You Christianists are just ignorant"
Then as a professing believer, you have an obligation to enlighten us with the truth. |
|
"So you're using a couple of 2000-year-old writings to establish the veracity of other 2000-year-old writings? Good choice."
A couple writings? Really? Do you know anything about the writings of the early church fathers? The manuscript evidence is VAST.
My point was simple, which probably explains why it was lost on you, because I just know that you are so much smarter than me. Lets just think about this for a second. Doesn't it seem logical that contemporaries or near contemporaries would probably be in a better position to comment on the veracity of authorship vs. someone who is two thousand years removed, applying Western methodologies to ancient texts?
"Thanks for helping to make my point, by the way."
Your welcome, I guess. But since you really have no point, I don't know what you are thanking me for. |
|
There's no hatred here. I understand you. I see your racket. It is all-too-common. I know full well that you are not entitled to the grandiose claims you make for yourself--and the only reason you feel entitled to make them is that some other chumps are making the same claims. Collective psychosis is always ugly, and I don't respect it much.
You are not "born again." That's an arduous discipline--not achieved by reading something from Acts and immersing yourself in water. So there is nothing to hate. You Christianists are just ignorant--and with that ignorance comes a little barbarism--but heck, we human beings have had barbarians around us since day one. |
|
"these pillars of the early church disagree with your "Religious Studies professor". Tough choice."
So you're using a couple of 2000-year-old writings to establish the veracity of other 2000-year-old writings? Good choice.
'But you have your self-deception lined up to placate your conscience. We don't want to let silly things like [facts] get in the way of that.'
Thanks for helping to make my point, by the way. |

the pathetic one hates Christians, born again believers, calls us, "Christianist", this hatred is what animates him. Everything about him, emanates from this hatred and he has found the perfect home for his "born again" hatred, that is the abortion party. Nothing agitates him more than, when the name of Jesus is invoked. But did not Jesus himself say, " they will hate you because of me". When Jesus made this statement some two thousand years ago, he saw the pathetic one, and his hatred. Count it excellent, that someone like the "pathetic one", would have a differing world view, because again, scripture "explicitly" says, "woe unto the man who the world loves", for he has nothing to do with Christ Jesus. Jesus was the original, "Christianist", so please, pathetic one, by all means call us one as well. |

Typical lib....arguing form without addressing the content....!

"The so-called "Letters from Paul" were in fact written by a bunch of different authors, in some cases two distinct authors for a single epistle. (And no, I'm not talking about Hebrews). "Conservative Christian scholarship" was not amused, jumped all over the guy when he published."
Hmmmm,
Will I give more credence to a minority of dissenters today, or will I give more credence to the early church fathers (i.e. Clement of Rome, Polycarp, Tertullian, Ignatius, Origen, etc.) some of whom were discipled by the original Apostles no less (meaning some were contemporaries, or no less than a generation separated from Paul); these pillars of the early church disagree with your "Religious Studies professor". Tough choice.
But you have your self-deception lined up to placate your conscience. We don't want to let silly things like historical tradition get in the way of that. |

"China's Infrastructure?
How good was it?

America's Infrastructure?

Cars drove on bridge, bridge collapsed! |

"Conservative Christian scholarship is vast, well documented, and steeped in historical tradition."
They're also deeply in denial and absolutely unwilling to hear anything they don't want to hear.
A million years ago when I was in college, I helped a Religious Studies professor do a linguistic analysis of the Pauline Epistles. We looked at word choice, sentence structure, sentence length, and several other measurable characteristics that essentially form a "fingerprint" of their author.
The so-called "Letters from Paul" were in fact written by a bunch of different authors, in some cases two distinct authors for a single epistle. (And no, I'm not talking about Hebrews). "Conservative Christian scholarship" was not amused, jumped all over the guy when he published.
More to the point, how much faith can you put in a book that lies about its own authorship? |
|
How good was it?
Earth Moved, infrastructure collapsed!
killed thousands?
Maybe a good infrasturcture,
does effective pupulation control
next to their one child policy?
In Tehran, Iran, with much inferior
infrastructure, I can not recall, the exact year, I was 8 or 9, that will make it probably the 60's, there was an earthquake magnitute 7.8 There are lots of high rises, plenty schools, nothing was destroyed or damaged, no one killed, or even hurt, not a scratch!
China's infrastructure is scandalous, their government criminals, and morally corrupt. |

that scripture explicitly calls the Christian to duty and NOT to liberty, didn't it go something like that. At that time i gave you 4 "explicit scriptures" which totally refuted your assertion. To date you have NOT offered even one "explicit scripture" that would prove yours. Would you care to now? Or are you just full of it because that is exactly what this "Christianist" thinks and KNOWS. You seem to be even more unhinged, than normal, can we assume that your unhingedness can be attributed to obambi's, slide in the polls, if so, at this pace you may end up in California's equivalent, to Belleview. Better refrain from watching any of the "lovefest", next week, it could send you there even sooner. Oh, almost forgot, starting this weekend and going on all next week, there will be free hot air balloon rides, food and fun. The reason for the occasion, to say that you on the left are full of hot air, concerning "global warming".
Do you really believe that some unsaved fool like you could ever get the best of someone saved, concerning the Word. If you do, your even more stupid than i thought. Stick to what you know, whatever that might be, cause it sure is not, scripture. |

Got to hand it to Mussolini. He made the trains run on time. And have you seen Berlin these days? That Albert Speer guy has created a gorgeous capital to go along with the beautiful blondes, great beer and fast sports cars. Whadda country! |

I forgot to add that your bigotry towards Christians is also appalling.
Conservative Christian scholarship is vast, well documented, and steeped in historical tradition. Your snide charicatures of said scholarship exposes your bigotry towards bible-believing Christian's. |

"but for those of us who think rationally, in a systematic and scholarly manner, scriptural text was written and assimilated--in the absence of a printing press--for hundreds of years. It cannot be understood without some historic perspective. The Christianist clowns think they can read a verse from John and another verse from Romans, and make an argument for the "inerrancy" of Scripture. It is silly, ignorant, and self-referencing.
No, the fantasy comes from you. You just think it is bigger than you because it is shared by the self-satisfied louts at your local megachurch. But it is stupid and crazy and irreal. Your "faith"--however widely shared--is an insult to God and to our moral heritage."
Your diatribe not withstanding, you do realize that the authors of the scriptures themselves (especially the New Testament authors) often quoted from various books of the Old Testament to butress their theology regarding Christ. So I guess you think that they too are "silly, ignorant, and self-referencing".
Your arrogance and ignorance is for lack of a better word, appalling. |

Actually, the infrastructure in China is improving dramatically - which you would know if you've flown into/out of the Pudong Airport in Shanghai or the new international terminal at the Beijing Capitol Airport (I've flown into/out of both). Both are clearly superior to any airport in the USofA. I hate to say it, but it's true. I've taken the bullet-train from Beijing to Tianjin, and was terribly impressed. The ports near Tianjin and in Shanghai are spectacular. Beliefs in America aside (and I am a BIG believer in America), China is becoming increasingly attractive to businesses. Visit Yiwu, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xiamen, and you'll be impressed. Even the aged rail system in China (which carries MANY more passengers daily than Amtrak) operates smoothly and doesn't have nearly as many fatal accidents as Amtrak. I don't believe in putting America down (because our infrastructure is superior in the bigger picture, and many cities are now developing better, more expansive light rail systems), but China's infrastructure is developing at a remarkable pace. It has to. While the USofA has 9 cities with populations of over 1 million people, China has over 300. |

The point and scope of Obama's comments were:
1. China does amazing infrastructure work
2. We need to do amazing infrastructure work by spending some money on it.
No mention of admiring China's MEANS of getting that infrastructure. Just a point about how we are NOT attending to our infrastructure and need to. And guess what that attention will do? Create JOBS for people who need them when THEIR jobs are shipped off to China.
If you folks want to pretend China is not about to clean our clock economically, fine. But try not to lie about Obama just to support this denial structure on which the Right Wing Psyche is built. Those well-made Chinese ports are shipping all our stuff to us really well, I'd say. That they also built bad school buildings is neither here nor there, as we are not at risk of emulating that.
WE NEED INFRASTRUCURE. Period. Obama is right about that. Is McCain going to campaign AGAINST infrastructure improvement and jobs? Well, if he keeps campaigning on "more wars" I guess he will be by default, as there won't be money to spend on bridges and waterlines and whatnot. |

Doesnt China buy their train engines from GE? Last time I checked that was an American company. |

When it comes to "pride," I have nothing on you clowns. Your every thought and feeling is motivated by the neurological rush that comes with a sense of moral superiority. In this case, you guys transform some innocuous remarks by BHO into an avenue of political attack, on grounds it offends your pride.
In fact, I'll go further than that. I will say this election is a referendum between Americans who are motivated by their desire for moral superiority (the Reeps) and Americans who are motivated by their desire for moral decency (the Dems). |

Did you check out that article? Munck is pissed because we don't want togive it all away to the poor and unfortunate who are now dividing themselves while arguing over abortion and religion as us "wealthy" folk escape taxes!!! How absurd that they haven't taken an economics class or simply don't understand the meaning of work ethic. |
|
You jealous of the McCains?
So they are rich, successful and can afford staff, so what?
Are we all supposed to live in poverty or do you just want a slice of what someone else has without working for it. Why not just steal it? Oh and as for what I paid my staff....it was a little over $110,000 last year I believe, I would have to check my accounts for the exact figure.
You have a problem with that?

.... how easily -- and how often! -- leftists are fooled by the propaganda of totalitarian regimes.
For decades we listened to the left proclaim the superiority of communism and regurgitate the propaganda put out by the Soviet Union -- propaganda proclaiming their economic superiority and the inevitability of their triumph over the capitalistic west.
Eventually, however, the USSR's ability to lie to its own people and the rest of the world was unable to cover up the fact that Soviet Russia was an economic graveyard that had starved millions to death. The Soviet Union fell apart -- much to the embarrassment of liberals and leftist who'd been singing their praise for generations.
The same thing happened in China. After starving millions to death, the communists relented and reluctantly introduced some elements of capitalism. Now, fewer starve. So then the world hands the Chinese communists a propaganda tool in the form of the Olympics and the empty-headed Obama -- in his best Jimmy Carter imitation -- falls all over himself to suck up and proclaim their superiority.
But here is a fact that Obama and the other leftists can‘t evade: Communists regimes have to build walls around their nations to keep their populations from fleeing in mass. Capitalistic nations like the US, by contasts, need walls to keep from being flooded with refugees from the rest of the world. The facts are undeniable, Obama. |
|
What Obama said might be true on the very small scale of Singapore and Dubai, or in some ways on the large scale in Europe and Japan. Certain aspects of infrastructure are worth looking at and adopting when they makes sense.
But the United States actually has a very robust and complex infrastructure. And the wealth and prosperity of our country is a direct result of it.
As for China's, it is getting better but it is a red headed step child compared to the rest of the world. Not to say we should not invest in infrastructure improvements like China is doing, but to hold up China as a model is just ignorant. |

K.G. Mary.
I am in awe of your insight. God bless you both. |

Obama, in his own Words:
"JUST WORDS,.... JUST SPEECHES" |

Obama has said these are among the verses on which he will base his presidency:
For I was hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me..."
Matt. 25:35-36 |

They met twice
In 2006, they met again,
It was the moment,
a short moment's presence
two brothers met
he felt the moment of
his brother's presence
just for the shortest moment
They met,
They part.
Now,
One brother,
sits, quietly,
waiting......
in his simple hut
for a gentle breeze,
another presence,
face to face,
someday?
Keeper of keys,
No disappointments

We can close all the churches, and the priests and ministers can find more profitable work: all we have to do is come here and we can listen to drunken, drug-addled, neurotic liberals to receive our spiritual enlightenment.

What criteria led to this conclusion?
References, criteria, cost effectiveness of spending? ANSWER: None will be produced.
Truth:
Ideology led to conclusion.
Totaliarian state = good to emulate.
America (capitalism) does not have answer despite existing evidence to contrary.
We need to to tax and control resources to get these positive results. Socialist control = results you can believe in.
Amazing from mainstream media. No f/u questions.
What is the bases of your conclusion?
Are you saying a central planned economy is superior?

They are spending $273,000 per year for domestic help for the ones they do live in. You know, maids, butlers, stuff like that. How much do you spend on your staff?
I hope the McCain's staff are all here legally. If not, that might explain his stand on immigration; it's hard to get good help these days. |

Scripture did not spring full-blown like Athena from the head of Zeus.

Mac's aunt lives in a pad that Cindy acquired from her parents who bought it new in 1972. Long before Mac was around. The McCains themselves have their home in AZ and one in Arlington, VA. They bought their daughter a pad and Cindy owns a couple of investment condos. Yes they (well, Cindy mainly) own 7 properties. It's hardly like they have seven empty mansions scattered around the world that they flit between like some Senators we could think of.

I have put forward explicit Scriptures in these parts more times than I can count.
Face it, son, there is more Christian faith in my pinky than in your entire shady belief system. |

Hugh, it is ridiculous to claim the Chinese airports and ports are superior to those in the U.S. DO NOT concede this point to him, e.g. "I suppose so..." |
|
|
The Chinese infrastructure is WAY inferior to ours in every way. Obama seems to have been taken in by the Potemkin village of Beijing. |
|
|
Wow. Once again, Barack Obama astounds me with his ability to say something so completely and utterly stupid. And just when I think he's hit rock bottom, he gets even more inane and more divorced from reality. This would be funny if it weren't for the fact that he could still very well be our next president. |

"Anyone know what the fine professor and Ms.Dohrn have been up to the last couple days?"

Sadly not. Also got a current Senator in the clan and he's on our side and most god-fearing too!

Anyone know what the fine professor and Ms.Dohrn have been up to the last couple days?

You had a potus for a father-in-law's cousin?
A God-fearing Republican I trust.... |

Moving to other, less expensive nations and regions. Some nations have the infrastructure, if I may use that word :-), to capitalize on the sweatshop phase, like Japan. Others do not.
Got a problem with economic reality? You must be a democrat.
Especially if you think poverty has anything to do with terrorism.

I'm not in the least worried. Most of the time Kimbecile's complete inability to address even the simplest of topics is just laughable. She's easily the most clueless of the liberal drones round here. Facts are just an anathema to her.
When it comes to impugning the service of the military it's a whole other matter. My father in law was a highly distinguished naval aviator who served through 4 wars. Making light of such things is disgusting to me. Members of my family have served the US in ways she couldn't possibly even dream of. My father in law reached the rank of commander. His cousin also had a title that started with the word Commander...but had two more words after that!! (Clue: the first one has two letters and the second one five).

I think some folks here have made some good points.
I'm wondering if the socialist left and the moderate left are going to split into a different party. I think it would be good for the country for the moderate dems move into an Independent party, and then the government would be run by the Independents and Republicans...this is where the majority is right now.
It just seems our divisions are forcing us into a third party, and then a coalition between parties will govern. |

China is nothing more than the West's third-world sweatshop du jour. Latest in a long line, and already in decline, with jobs moving elsewhere.
It's a totalitarian cesspool in decline.
Of course, Barak Hussein Obama thinks it's a tool to criticize America.
What a tool.

waiting.........waiting........guess they are not all that "explicit", hey o' pathetic one....try on IITimothy3:1-5, now thats "explicit" and it sums up you to a tee. Hint...Timothy is in the New Testament. |

from the Dumbowit Party. NO Hillary to seriously be concerned about. NO Dumbowit Candidate with a nickel's worth of walking around sense. Some pretty doofus from the Left who actually says stuff that his impulses dictate...Ya know, like China's infrastructure--you know, BUILDING MATERIALS & METHODS--are far superior to poor Capitalist Yankeedom..!!
This guy just keeps on shooting his vapid self in the what'cha'call Testiculars...Well, in the concavity where Righties have a set. Now, within weeks of 10's of thousands of DEAD Chinese, due to structural failures that wouldn't happen in the USA, he pops open that hole in his face and says this!!!
Kids, it just doesn't get any better than watching this pretend Messiah SELF-DESTRUCT.
Advice to Johnny Little: Stay home, Bro. See ya at your swearing-in on January 20th.
YOW-ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! |

call PL, the "pathetic one", because snarky is his middle name, but what you must know is that he makes things up, out of the ether, if you will. His comments lack foundation or truth, if it sounds good, by golly, he says it. His is a world of theories, fantasies, and especially, flights of fancy. Ask to prove his assertions, will fall on deaf ears. In short, he is a liberals, liberal, with daily, "flights of fancy". Is it any wonder that obambi would be his, "guy", for obambi, is in charge of the "flights".
Marvin, pay no attention to the pathetic one, though, give him wide birth, for his fanciful flights. |

We travel to China to buy imports. Go to a "factory" outside the city. The toilet is a field. You just have to know where to stand.
And they don't give a darn that we are tall Europeans who haven't maintained our ability to squat!
Has BO even been to China? I thought he was playing on a private beach in Hawaii during the Olympics--while GWB and Mitt Romney were cheering for our kids. |

Given the soviet use of potemkin villages to create the illusion of prosperity, it's not surpising that Obama the Traveler would find this greatly appealing.
Wikipedia has a tone-perfect definition: "Potemkin village" has also frequently been used to describe the attempts of the Soviet government to fool foreign visitors. The government would take such visitors, who were often already sympathetic to socialism or communism, to select villages, factories, schools, stores, or neighborhoods and present them as if they were typical, rather than exceptional.
What a tool.

During the 1930's-'40's and then in the '50's. liberals, many Dems, writers, so called intellectuals, university doofuses, and people like some of the liberal dupes on this forum were singing the praises of Uncle Joe's Stalinist Russia, then Mao's Chi-com 'agrarian reforms', then Castro's medical care, then and now, Chavez' fine moralisms, and on it has gone for the Left. They always have had some romantic notions for dictators on the Left who have murdered millions and then praised their societies , their so called new looks at housing, industry, happy farmers called kulacs, and health care for all those poor that socialism itself had created. BO is simply just one more socialist pacifist nutter and the libs on this and other forums simply hate the successes of America and in spite of our nation's problems with bridges, clinics, streets, no one with any common sense or morality would want to live in any of those socialist pacifists or praise the thugs who have killed their own people not in the hundreds but in the millions. Katharina is an Austrian immigrant and her hubby kgk has taught political science for 47 year, have traveled all round the globe and with all America's faults know that no society on earth but America's gives people real economic, cultural, social, educational opportunity and liberty. No wonder both of us are just sick and tired of whining liberals who 'always blame America, 'as Jeanne Kirkpatrick avered. |

Not to worry....it will be gone soon....perhaps already. |

Dems are not getting what they thought in Obama, the should have listened to Hillary. Victor today says it best...

"hundreds of millions of Chinese live in the countryside WITHOUT REGULAR
ACCESS TO UTILITIES, EDUCATION OR CLEAN WATER and modern farming equipment..."
Utilities, education, and clean water are over-rated. Such bourgeouis concepts these. Defecating and urinating outside is so green. We must emulate!

...was that business is going to China because they have better ports. His solution? Raise taxes. Oh yeah! That will keep businesses here.
Barack! You might want to talk to Jennifer Granholm about that one.
Barack! If you want better infrastructure, you are going to have to cut spending (instead of increasing it) on your stupid nanny state.
And deport several million illegals while you're at it.
CA is 15 Billion $$ in debt. We are 50-something days and counting w/o a budget. The Dems want tax hikes; the Pubs are hanging tough--demanding cuts. Arnold cut all state workers back to federal min wage. The comptroller refused to send the checks out that way.
Arnold has taken the comptroller to court for defying an executive order. State workers are on the march. Arnold is scheduled to speak at the convention, but will not attend if there is no budget. Demands the same of the CA delegations.
Obama lives in LaLa Land. Teenage drug use, I suspect. Or a state of arrested development. Time to grow up if you want to sit at the big people's table. |

That's true. I drove right past the Coliseum at rush hour in the middle of the track competition at 75 mph (55 to any cops reading this....).
I guess BHO is just used to looking at phony facades by now and making value judgements based on face value alone....kinda like his campaign. |

Brob is back with the ever original handle of "B".
Please don't feed it.

Hey Hugh, This is my first email to a radio talk show host. I've lived in China the last 2 years and Obama doesn't know what he's talking about regarding the infrastructure there. I have been on their roads, on their trains, and in and out of their airports. Superior to ours in the USA? Ha! Far, far from it! Are they making progress? Yes! Is their infrastructure close to the quality of ours. Not a chance!
Thanks,
Doc |

To hell with what Andrew Sullivan thinks...and to hell with you and your disgusting minimalization of one man's incredible suffering...
McCain fractured both arms and a leg, and then nearly drowned, when he parachuted into Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi. After he regained consciousness, a crowd attacked him, crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt, and bayoneted him. Lieutenant Commander McCain was then transported to Hanoi's main Hoa Lo Prison.
Although McCain was badly wounded, his captors refused to treat his injuries, instead beating and interrogating him to get information, and he was given medical care only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a top admiral.
In August 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain. He was subjected to rope bindings and repeated beatings every two hours, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery.
Yep - just like water boarding. You continue to disgust me.

For anyone who lived in the LA area in '84, remember the traffic? It was almost nil. Every host city shows it's best face. Beijing is no different.
The problem is that BO is dumb enough to take the pretty pictures as every day reality. But that's his own shtick too, huh?
|
|
I'd probably be in prison forever if I went over there (as you know I've been seeing a girl from China who is always trying to get me over there to meet the family....big trouble...).
I would be busted for distributing Bibles before I got off the plane; then they find my guns....oy! Maybe one of our commie friends on this site would bail me out.
Whatya say kimber......??? |
|
kimberly, i don,t give a rats a__ how many homes John McCain has with his wife. Why should you care? just goes to how me how jealous you are.
Just like a liberal who wants to rail away at the rich. How about go rail against those rich liberal senators with all there millions. Hmm like that jerk, John Kerry. Or how about that phony baloney Ted Kennedy. who paid how much in estate taxes? you can go see the video when he is asked that question. jerk. should be no estate tax. |

"Everyone knows that America is morally superior in every respect imaginable to whatever regards in the universe."
Given that America slaughters hundreds of thousands of unborn infants annually so that women can continue to have sex with men they wouldn't want to be fathers of their children....your snarky remark is probably not held by anyone on this blog. |
|
Beijing might look pretty for the Olympics but I'd suggest you ask all those Chinese folk that died in the recent earthquake how good they think the infrastructure is.
One pretty city does not a nation make.
This blind belief in every crazy thing Obama says is stunning.

has morphed into the dearly departed, bjob, because that chi-comm comment was right up her alley. I would like to know how this fool ever got into an Ivy league school, for crying out loud, he's a numb skull. Can this idiot hold it together thru the convention or will the Clinton's convince the "supers" to jettison "the wimp". Developing....... |

way to Stalin's Little Farm in China's Lao-Gai.
Kimmy, the little airhead, we need for the entertainment value. Don't push our affection, Kimm-o. |
|
|
Quite right. Because they think for themselves. An unimaginative conformist like you, though, would do quite well in China. |
|
Everyone knows that America is morally superior in every respect imaginable to whatever regards in the universe. Everyone knows THAT. Hey, here's an opening. Let's pander to the stupid conceits of some Americans and maybe we can get them to disregards our amoral, unprincipled, feckless, destructive leadership over the past generation.
Ain't gonna work this time, chumps. The act has gotten stale.. |
|
"HE IS McWORSE than bush,"
Even if true, McCain is still a FAR better candidate than your "chosen one". |
|
....Kimberly and brob would be in labor camps....

Obama: Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now...
Hewitt: the idea that ... engineering proves Beijing is the better than America ...
See any difference between what he said and what you claim he said? I'm frankly puzzled how you can put both statements in your column so close to each other. How could you not realize you were being dishonest?
I don't think there's any argument that our ports, railroads, and airports are a screaming mess right now. Could Beijing (the city) have better ones than America (the country)? Of course they could, and apparently they do. Moscow always had better subways than we did, but that didn't mean the USSR was better than the USA. |

I understand that Cuba has a terrific health care system too. |

Listen to how high (tonally) his upspeak comments are getting. It's a really annoying trait at the best of times but it's getting positively squeaky now. If he goes any higher at the end of each sentence soon only dogs will be able to hear him,
|
|
Don't worry it's genuine - I have heard it straight from the cluless one's lips.
Tune in to Hugh - he's playing the audio.
Hey Obama - if it's that good go run for president of China - lets see how far that gets you. I bet he has never even been to China. I'll give him one thing - Hong Kong's new airport is quite something....oh yeah, that was built before it was handed over to the Chinese though, my bad.
|
|
This has got to be the Stump-Stupidist bunch of swill to fall from that hole in his chops yet. China is a Totalitarian Slave State, for Gawdsakes, O'Bammy! Have you heard of the vast gulag System known as Lao-Gai?? Millions languish there. Infrastructure this, you Brain Dead Elitist Dweeb.
Toast.
CLUELESS, EMPTY-SUITED, LEFTY, T O A S T!!
This is just too EASY. Too, tooooo EASY! |

Would like to have that quote verified but have not been able to verify it online anywhere else |
|
Methinks the MSM should send a few cameras outside the Olympics-renovated metro area and let us know what they find. Oh wait, the MSM isn't allowed by the Communists to freely wander wherever they'd like and report their findings. My bad.
Sounds like Obama has been snowed by the Chinese propaganda machine. Mission Accomplished.
Scary. |
