If you thought otherwise, then explain how many times Communism has to fail, and fail utterly, before they&#039;ll Git It that Marxism just doesn&#039;t work?

How many? A heck of a lot more screwups than it&#039;ll take to destroy the US economy, that&#039;s for sure.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#062;&#062;&#062; &lt;i&gt;Obama accelerated full fledged depression may be just he thing to help them reach maturity.&lt;/i&gt;

Bob, they are LIBERALS.

They CANNOT learn from experience. CAN. NOT.

Seriously.

It&#039;s why you never see people do the opposite of Neo, really, and switch in maturity from conservative to liberal. 

It almost never happens, because postmodern liberalism really only works if you&#039;re in Peter Pan mode and never, ever grow up. You have to deny and/or ignore -- and &lt;i&gt;continue to ignore&lt;/i&gt; -- too many obvious facts around you. You have to categorically reject a huge mass of learning that you get from experience.

Moreover, most of those who &quot;have&quot; done so, on closer examination, were liberal all along -- &quot;RINOs&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good observations on Obama Geoffrey.
One suspects the answer to Obama&#039;s supposed popularity can at least in part, certainly a major part, be attributed to a naive public.  Here&#039;s a thought experiment: if an Obama had run in 1950, with a population hardened by depression and war would he had been taken him seriously or laughed him off the stage?  Israel may provide an answer in that the unlikeable Rabin always won in contests against the pleasant Peres.  It was a case of a population who appreciated Rabin&#039;s qualities of leadership because he was the country&#039;s most successful general and almost all Israeli&#039;s have military experience in war time.  In short the Israelis appreciate what is important in a leader, as contemporary Americans cannot.

There is another aspect we always seem pass by without touching.  People&#039;s wisdom seems lopsided.  I am meeting people who should know better who plan to vote for Obama.  Within their fields they seem bright but they simply seem to have a blind spot when it comes to recognizing knavery and incompetence outside their profession.   Considering the CBO is predicting a downturn in the economy next year an Obama victory followed by an Obama accelerated full fledged depression may be just he thing to help them reach maturity.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[IMHO the preeminent example of a politician/con artist is Bill Clinton, not Obama. To be a great con artist you have to be a real &quot;people person&quot; and of course, completely amoral.

Reportedly, Clinton is especially skilled at making people feel that they are the most interesting person Clinton has ever met, the hallmark of a great con artist.

Obama tolerates people, he&#039;s a loner and a conniver. 

Obama craves power but not in and of itself. He craves power so as to use it to fundamentally transform society, his outer world, so that it can then properly appreciate him...the ultimate goal of the narcissist. 

The greater the narcissist, the greater the inner doubts and thus the more the need for outward confirmation of their worth, in order to assuage the profound self-doubt that they cannot face. Hidden deep down under his mask, Obama is a fundamentally insecure person. 

That&#039;s why Ryan makes Obama so uncomfortable, Ryan&#039;s fact based challenges and complete lack of intimidation, strike the fear of exposure within Obama&#039;s heart. 

Above all else, Obama fears undeniable exposure and the resultant derisive laughter it would bring.]]></description>
