Unsurprising, maybe - but rational? Not in this universe.

I find this totally rational thought considering the Texas courts who think nothing of executing the mentally handicapped and the innocent.

I'd listen to him. Coz he's learned, being a judge and all.

The U.N. can't take over Mali. I wouldn't worry about Texas being overrun.

Yeah, it's stuff like this that makes me think that racism is at play here.

I think it's possible for most people to disagree with Obama and not be racist but when 17% of people in a poll say that Obama is a Muslim, well, there is something more going on there with a certain group of people than just a normal political disagreement.

Where are the rebels getting the tanks from, exactly? Or do you mean they'll have to call out the tanks to quell the riots? Because that's well plausible.

Frankly, "conservative" commenters elsewhere on the net are making my eyes bleed with their claims of Obama-led class warfare. "80% of Americans pay 0% income taxes!" is one of their indignant battle cries. So? What amount should someone making $30,000 a year pay - someone who works for each and every penny of that money - vs. someone who makes that in a day by mooching off from other peoples' money? How the super wealthy can sit on vast piles of money scolding the rest of us peons that they worked for their money and they should pay less than 13% taxes. How much do you need? Whereas most of us have to triage: dentist? Fix the leak? New shoes for kiddo? It's sickening.

No, I meant the US government firing on its own people, which has happened in the past. Do you think the Koch brothers would put up with a million people marching on the Capital or outside their residence near Central Park?

If Obama wins, I am going back to Africa and avoiding this civil war.

I love how these whackos think the UN has any power whatsoever and could actually take over a country somehow. Really? How, exactly?

If Obama wins the World Will End. I know, I know we said it four years ago but this time, seriously. Also, I expect my govt issued, mandatory burqua PRONTO.
