Free Range Kids

[O Really]

I wonder why the nosy neighbor didn't just go sit with him and/or offer him some lemonade and a seat on her/his porch. That's what would have happened when I was a kid and among my friends now.

Good question. Or asked if he needed anything, or even when he expected his parents. Call the cops? For a 12-year old kid in his own yard? Seriously? In places other than Congress and state legislatures, the inmates have surely taken over the asylum.

Some over-zealous local yokels mis-apply a state law and somehow it's Obama's fault even though he probably didn't know the law existed or could be applied that way and likely would not agree with the action taken. Yep. That's your current standard of right-wing "thought." Even Bill Buckley is twirling in his grave.

You mean like everything wrong in OBlamers life and with the country is Bush's fault?

....says the "everything wrong in the country in Obama's fault" nutjob who just posted a "Comrade Obama" picture, despite Obama running the country as essentially a pre-Tea-Party mainstream Republican. (But more fiscally conservative and more libertarian.)

Your picture is even complete with obligatory "taking away everyone's guns" submoronic wingnuttery, despite Obama being demonstrably more pro-gun than even Ronald Reagan and most Republicans before just a few years ago. Yes, really.

What part of this do you disagree with. Examples?

Really. Look it up. The Republican party has move FAR to the right since Reagan, and the Democrats have followed.

Obama has stuck to Republican policy across the board. Even ObamaCare is 15 years of Republican health care policy up until the moment Obama adopted it. That includes the personal mandate - now described by Republicans as commie Marxist socialism - but previously pushed by the far-right Heritage Foundation, Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, Jim DeMint, Mitt Romney and a great many more Republicans.

Perhaps you believe in **pre**-election Reagan: Smaller government, less government debt, more libertarian, abortions banned, etc. But it's only fair to consider **post**-election Reagan, as he actually ran the White House. He grew government, ran the deficits and debt through the roof and passed it to the next generation, turned his back on the anti-abortion crowd once elected, etc. Reagan's military adventure in Lebanon even managed to make Jimmy Carter look like a military genius.

Sure, you could make the case for him cutting government regulation, but no more than you could make the same case for Obama or even Carter. And Obama's stance on same-sex marriage is far more libertarian than that of most Republicans even today.

Still, even for a conservative like myself there's a whole lot about Obama's reign that I don't like. The NSA stuff, not prosecuting those who turned the US into a torture state, all the TSA theatrics, etc. Your whining notwithstanding, almost all of it IS him stocking to Republican policy from the previous administration. Or in the case of the TPP scam, the previous Republican administration AND current Republican. If you think otherwise, give us some examples.

The colonel seems to believe (still) that all Democratic presidents get a clean slate starting January 21 after election. That nothing existed in the political world before them, and nothing is out of their authority or control. Therefore, and conditions that exist on January 22 are automatically the fault of the new Democrats.

Except for constant Obama-bashing, however, the NC Republican legislature does not believe they got a clean slate. They believe everything wrong (or that they might define as wrong) is the fault of 140 years of Democratic majority. Of course, in those 140 years, NC became a leader in a lot of stuff. This wasn't because it was just one party, but because the Democratic party had a very big tent, with a wide range of ideology. However, not being obliged to automatically disagree with their colleagues - just ummm because he's one of "them" - the legislature got stuff done. Good education system, good roads, attracting some big time industry including tech, pharmaceuticals, financial, yada. But whatever the reality, the Republicans took power and blamed the Democrats for existing conditions.

So my question for the Colonel is, how long should a President be in office before being blamed for current conditions? One day? One month? One year?
Is it dishonest to say "President Bush created some conditions that cannot immediately be undone"? And does that factual statement ever become untrue?

Is it possible for a rational person to say both "Obama can't blame Bush for anything" and "NC Republicans can blame the Democrats for everything."

[Mr.B]

That's what you get for letting presidents out on the street or playground by themselves .... "Free Range Kids"

How did Obama get into a discussion of what the FL state CPS did in a state headed by a GOP Governor and GOP Legislature?

[O Really]

If not finding a way to blame Obama, the Colonel would have found himself in agreement with us "libruls" that what they did with that kid was outrageous. Couldn't have that happen now, could we? Might break his belief in the absolute evil of Democrats or "libruls." Or that - even worse - he doesn't agree with what the Republican-run state did.

Don't hold your breath for that reply.

I have said and mentioned many things Bush did wrong when he was POTUS unlike those who protect your supreme leader here.

It took him less then 30 minutes yesterday to bring up gun control. You do know this was a gun free zone right? Lets not forget the liberal right to passage Never let a tragedy go to waste. Color, race or nothing else had to do with this young man being a mental midget dumbass. He hated so much if not a gun a vehicle filled with gas or explosives.
OBlamer brought up gun control many times over the years it just doesn't go anywhere because we all see how great it's working in chicago, dc and cleveland. All gun free zones.

[O Really]

...Color, race or nothing else had to do with this young man being a mental midget dumbass. He hated so much if not a gun a vehicle filled with gas or explosives.

Seriously? He hated what so much? Oh yeah, according to him, it was black people.

None of those cities are "gun-free" zones, but they do have more restrictions than a lot of other places. BTW, you forgot to include Connecticut.

We should defer to Kernel Failure's expertise on the matter.

Sounds like Kernel Failure can empathize and has thought this through.

Na when things get slow here banni goes to con forums and brings their post over here. Ya know without being able to think for themselves.
This from someone who can't even get his own ignore option to work.

That's rarely necessary, when we have crackers like you posting in here on a regular basis.

Kernel Failure is a pretty good argument for not allowing Free Range Adults.
