Obama Credited With Saving Plane

Seriously, there's nothing really funny as to take an extremism side (extremist conservative) and accussing someone of being something that their not. I only respect those conservatives who do not accuse someone without such merit. Don't be someone who ruins what conservatism is all about. Have some credibility.

Liberals don't have the credibility to define conservativism or how conservatives should behave.

Let me guess, an extremist like you defines liberals as stereotypical people. No sense talking to you. Many scientist and engineers belong to the liberal crowd. I hope when you start to define them as people who stereotype other people, you'll realize that you live in la la land.

I'm no more of an extremist than you are. Disagreeing with your view of the world doesn't equal extremism, nor does it mitigate the fact that no conservative need behave as you like to have credibility. To demand they do is to not only be dictatorial, but to stereotype anyone who doesn't accept your definition as extremist. Do as you say rather than dictating to others how they should do. That would improve your credibility.

You should know better. If you disagree with the Socialist then you are extreme. But if a sheep and a follower then you are a moderate progressive.

Again you are a follower too. McCain was a sick choice also. Both of them was the wrong thing for this country and we all deserve what is coming.

You just know that Obama is going to get a pass on everything as their sheep just know he has the answer to everything. I will just laugh too when their dreams come crashing down. I give 1 year before it becomes obvious to the misguided fools.

Another extremism.

Extremism leads to people with no open-mind. Therefore, they are hopeless. They don't even realize their electronics, cars, medicine comes from many liberal ideas. No idea at all. Not only they closed their minds to liberal idea, they live in the cave as well just like Osama Bin Laden.

And speaking of socialism, go into the definition.

The idea that obama is a socialist is pretty extreme also.

Someone trots out that garbage obviously has no conception of what its like to live under a socialist regime. If they did they wouldn't throw around the label so readily.

Wing nuts aren't open to reason and its pretty easy to debate extremists.

[Ban Hammer 13,977]

Can we agree that we won't agree on what's 'extreme' and what's moderate?

To me, wanting to teach creationism in school is pretty fvcking extreme. But there are those to whom that's how it should be, not extreme at all.

why do you hate nuns as teachers?

Right or left wing, good thing that plane had both to land safely. Liberal or a conservative, whatever the definition is of those two words, lost their meaning a long time ago. Our foundling fathers were certainly liberal in conceiving an entirely new type of government, where a conservative would stick with the monarchy. By definition, a liberal looks at all the problems and tries to come up with a better system, where a conservative says if it was good enough for England, it's good enough for me.

Yet another definition is a conservative person spends our money wisely, where a liberal just gives it away or pockets it.

Really today, the terms we should use is integrity or dishonesty in government. Bush had integrity, but just disappointments, I am not saying this, he did, like Iraq not having WMD or their people not waving American flags when he invaded, there I don't dare use the word, "we". Has no control over the price of gas, yet it dropped like it always does before an election, probably noted it's going way up again. When Obama asked Bush for key information about what's going on, Bush told him to ask God. Gee I thought Bush was God!

Anyway, Obama didn't even have a chance to prove whether he is honest or not, time will tell, but to forecast at this point will only be speculation, the news is great at that, must have a very good crystal ball or way out opinions. I would also have bad opinions of Obama if it means losing billions of dollars in profits on oil or a war. No money was lost on Wall Street, in somebodies pocket, if it were my pocket, would only have bad things to say about the new president.

NEW YORK (SR) - New York politicians are lauding President-elect Barack Obama as a hero Thursday night after he managed to inspire the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 to safely land their plane in the middle of the Hudson River.

All 155 passengers and crew have been accounted for, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

"We have a heroic President-elect who has given hope to an entire nation, including the crew and passengers of that plane.

We've had a Miracle on 34th Street and now I believe we've had a miracle on the Hudson," Gov. David Paterson said at a joint press conference with Mayor Bloomberg on Thursday evening.

A flight attendant onboard said the pilot's last words before bringing the crippled aircraft in were, "Hey, if an ex-crackhead/socialist/pinhead can get elected President, I can land this plane in the Hudson River."

This is a great illustration of how "cult like" Obama has become. Alot of ppl act as though they have some personal attachment to Obama and are willing to turn a blind eye to anything negative he has done in the past. All the while showing the opposite morality when applied to someone else!

No Mark, it's an illustration of how some people are just nutty.

I have to say, that this idea that any president can be responsible for more than changes in 'tone' of government somewhat shocks me. This investment in what one man can achieve seems to suggest that there is an imbalance in your (the US) governmental system.

Huh. Change "Obama" to "Bush," and this could be an exact quote for Bush right after 9/11. I think you and others forget how much ####### "liberals" took for any criticism of Bush just a few short years ago, and how much adulation and fawning over he was subjected to. It could also apply to Reagan, who has become a cult icon within the Republican party.

So spare me the BS about cults. Get over it and start thinking with your own mind instead of just parroting the extremist agenda.

WOW where you been for the last 8 crappy years..Bush crushed the American dream when he was in office.

NOW some poor guy has to fix the mess this moronic dopehead messed up with his idiotic robot goons did.

WOW gotta love those repubs who do not see the WHOLE picture..and I know I know, you will say OH I see the whole picture.

NAH you do not and I say this because most folks who loved bush are not living paycheck to paycheck, raising kids on a low income budget while going to school and trying to make ends meat.

To the OP Your joke was in extreme poor taste...ack

I am out of this thread I do not have time to argue with one sided people who are blind to what bush did.

great POST

I am finding more and more folks who look at Obama this way are normally predjudice and have issues with anyone who is not white being in office...sad but true. I do not CARE who is in the office as long as he is FOR THE PEOPLE and not against them like Bush and the good patrol were

WOW where you been for the last 8 crappy years..Bush crushed the American dream when he was in office.

The last 8 years have been good for me in term of earning money.

Bush helped lower my property taxes in Texas while he was governer, and while he was in office as President It has been pretty darn good times financially for me, kinda what I would call the "American Dream"

well thats awesome for you but for millions of others their dream was crapped on..NOW we are in a recession because of it. Those who made a certain income were helped durring his loving term and those who were BELOW the certain income seemed to get bit in the butt. I took on 2 jobs and about killed myself WHILE going to school and finishing it.

I think it is GREAT you got your DREAM but do you not think it is selfish in thinking NOT to think about those millions who got crapped on??? These days it is hard to find work due to his failed presidency of 8 years. Many are getting laid off and those who HAD the American dream are now trying to seek unemployment. Even those who were with companies 10 or more years who THINK they are safe are not safe.

I feel SORRY for our New president because now he and his new cabinet have to clean up all the garbage that bush and his goons made.

To me the American dream includes EVERYONE not just the middle class rich folk in it.

The American dream was first written about by a man named James Truslow Adams. He gave the TRUE meaning of what the American Dream was to be and that is:

"The American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

Somehow along the way, The American Dream was twisted around and become SELFISH by many people.

I will go With Mr. Adams what the true meaning of the American Dream is suppose to be, anyday over the selfish way of thinking that most Americans were trained to think and became selfish to think it.

BUT I hope one day every American can live the dream that he had dreamed form and Martin luther Kings I have a dream is another great example of what the TRUE american dream really is. Both are not selfish in thinking and I can honestly say I am a thinker like them.

But good on you for being able to be selfish enough to have your dream..thats AWESOME mate!

Good for you sweetheart. Some of us actually care about more than just our own prosperity.
