I’ve been thinking recently that it takes a lot of courage to be free. Specifically, I was thinking about the trauma in my own life, many years ago, revolving around my leaving home. See, I wanted to be free for a whole bunch of reasons most of them relating directly back to the issues of “romance.” Also, there was the point that I hated watching my parents eat. For these reasons and more I decided at eighteen that I should leave home.
My parents were against my bid for freedom for reasons relating to the fact that I had little money, a funky first job and no experience taking care of myself. So the stage was set for a classic confrontation, the parents acting out of love and the instinctual desire to protect and care for their young vs. me acting out of the desperate need to be free and engage in, “romance” until the cows came home.
What happened over the weeks before I actually left was a study in pure socialism. My parents, believing that they knew best how I should live my life, attempted to exert control over me …”for my own good.” My mother explained one day that I was likely to starve to death. It turned out that I could live quite nicely on peanut butter sandwiches and top roman and did so for almost a year. My father tried all sorts of ingenious ways to control me through finances. He’d be happy to pay my car insurance, by my text books, insure that I had spending money, etc, etc if only I’d give up this stupid idea of moving out …”and ruining my life.”
I remember my first night in my own apartment very well, I was scared! I had a piece of plywood over a box for a table. A mattress on the floor, peanut butter and jelly in the fridge, no money for rent due in about twenty days or for utilities also due in about twenty days …what a mess. In the back of my mind was everything my parents had been saying …and I knew that my parents were right. I would live better if I had stayed at home and let them take care of me. But I wasn’t about living better; I was about living free … and, “romance.”
I think that we Americans are in real danger of loosing our freedom by being talked into moving back home. The government is telling us that we’d live better if we’d just give up some freedom and let them take care of our health care … for our own good. We’d live better if the government ran our car companies and if the government decided how much money we can make and if the government controlled our school loans and if the government decided what parts of the economy should grow and which should die. We’re being told that we don’t have what it takes to take care of ourselves. It’s going to take courage to say, “No, that’s all right mom. I love you but I want to live as a free person. I’ll take my chances and take care of myself.”
Very thought provoking. Judging by the responses, you have to wonder if these people are reading the same post. Have you noticed that most of the people posting here lack an ability to think critically?
Fuck you Greg. You homosexual douchebag.
Here we have a fine example of the liberal thought process. Cannot form an entire thought without some negative reference to their own sexual preference. Then call conservatives homophobes.
What exactly did this have to do with white people liking Obama because they are afraid to be called racist?
exactly what i was thinking!
Yes, you did paulie boo, and we have been happily screwing each other ever since in your lovely place. Touch me softly in the morning like you always do baby. Whisper sweet negative things about their president. Oh, it makes me soo hot. I love you!!!
WHY CAN’T I QUIT YOU?!!!

I’m trying to tell you something here. Your birthright is that of a near god. You weren’t born a dog.
But I enjoy bending you over and pumping you in your butt doggie style. Woof woof!!
here’s some more foul mouthed drivel for you to think about…
SHUT
THA
FUCK
UP
You Dumbassed she-man bitch. Go back to asian girls and do what you do best, lick men’s balls and suck big cocks, you worthless country piece of asswipe.
Your penis envy is showing again, douchebag.
Don’t you wish your meat was small like mine. I have a whooping one and a half inches of pure thunder in my trousers. What you got, I could pleasure myself with a cheerio and still have enough room to spare, can YOU? Save your ilk for someone who cares, douchebag.
Dude, you got issues. I’m thinking masochistic, insecure, homo-erotic issues. What you post doesn’t give your target audience the impression of you, that you think it does.
Good luck with that!
I know, it gives the target audience an impression of YOU.
How utterly liberal of you. I’m always amazed at the complete lack of mental acuity shared by all of the liberal faith.
Liberal my foot up your ass.
Tell it to your mother, princess.
I like poop too
loser
yo momma beeeeeooooottttch
I’ve worked in finance for a long time and one thing that I know for sure is that it’s very, very hard to predict the economic future. That’s because there are so many variables that can affect the outcome. For example everything might be going along swimmingly and the country is on track for a good GDP number but then trouble in the Mid East causes oil to spike, gas costs more, earnings get smacked and bada-boom the GDP number isn’t all that great. Lot’s of variables. So with that disclaimer let me say that I can not imagine any way that B.O.’s economic plan is going to turn out anything but not good.
What B.O. should be doing is cutting taxes. Our corporate tax is the second highest in the world, why not cut it and help every single U.S. Corporation to become more competitive? Why not cut the payroll tax and encourage hiring? Why not cut the tax on buying and selling securities and encourage investing? Why not cut the income tax and instantly put more money in everyone’s pocket? Well, all of that would make sense and it’s the proven way to exit a recession BUT all of that tax cutting takes power from government and puts it in the hands of American’s and American business …and that does not fit in well with the central planning, big government ideology of the B.O. administration and our Democrat friends in Washingtion.
Our government, instead of cutting taxes, is trying to increase growth by spending (Very selectively) into the economy but the government can not give unless it has first taken away. To have money to spend the government must either tax, barrow or print, Lately it’s been printing and barrowing. Just in case you are saying to yourself, “What does all of this have to do with me” consider the following.
When B.O. took office oil was 46 dollars a barrel, today it’s 78 dollars a barrel, an increase of 69%. As B.O. prints and barrows it causes the Dollar to drop in value (More dollars available makes each worth less) hence the increase in everything imported. The price of a gallon of gas at the gas station is directly linked to the current policy of printing and barrowing money.
If you want to get a feel for how much the dollar has dropped just look at gold. When B.O. took office gold was 884 per oz, today it’s 1107 per oz, an increase of 25.22% The policy of printing and borrowing are killing the dollar and reducing the purchasing power of all Americans. So, even as B.O. pumps money into the economy, money is in essence removed from the economy.
American’s are out of work and our economic future is being spent all because B.O. and gang believe that the government, not individual Americans, should be the source of all that is good in America.
I read your diatribe Paulie4, and you NEVER cease to amuse me.
“When B.O. took office oil was 46 dollars a barrel, today it’s 78 dollars a barrel, an increase of 69%.”
Since you want to jabber about oil prices, how much were they last year. A barrel of oil was around…. say..damn near $150!!!! I guess that does’nt count eh? As far as health care is concerned, you dumbass rePUBICans are full of it more. Government health is bad, bad, bad. Hey dumbass, is gov. car insurance bad? Yes, there is a government car insurance fund for drivers who can’t get insurance from the major insurance companies. Alot of the smaller insurance companies are part of that fund. Last I checked, car insurance was not ruined, so how the hell will healthcare as we know it be destroyed. How will prices go thru the roof because of Obama when they are sky high and rising now for no reason? It never cease to amaze me the stupidity of certain americans. Fighting for the PROFITS of the insurance companies. And you wonder why I call you a dumbass.
yucka yucka yucka
Hmmm, I wrote a rather good response to all of this but it doesn’t seem to be here? You haven’t seen it have you? Maybe I forgot to send it? Well, I tell you what, I’m going to include a link …here it is: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/sum_qpmd.html
The above link will take you to a list of U.S. industries. Off to the right of the graph you’ll see a column marked, “Net Profit %.” Here, you’ll discover that “Health Plans,” also known as, “The evil insurance companies” rank as the 86th most profitable industry in the U.S.
The left has created a boogeyman and they’ve convinced a good percentage of the public that said boogeyman lives under their beds and that B.O. and gang are absolutely indispensable as they alone have experience removing boogeymen and insuring that homes are filled with the smell of baking apple pies. All that is required from the public is wealth and freedom.
The myth of the evil price gouging insurance industry is one of the simplest to disprove. At the same time as we prove that the insurance companies are not evil we can prove that B.O. and gang are liars, as this is a leftist mainstay. …we get a twofer.
If I’ve placed my original response …the one that’s lost, somewhere on this site and you’re saying to yourself, “Gzzz, Paulie4 is repeating himself and also saying the same things over and over” I apologize!
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Did you happen to catch Glenn Beck last night. Brilliant. He had about 25-30 black conservatives on to talk about obamao and the direction of the country.
All were articulate, spoke proper English, and made intelligent, thought provoking statements. A very refreshing change from the leftwingnuts posing here. The largest part of the black demographic votes democrat, but don’t know the first damn thing about institutionalized racism inherent in the democrats perpetuating the victim mentality.
obamaos appeal is based solely on the get something for nothing mentality of the entitlement culture the democrats invented. This effects a lot of poor whites as well. Well…….. I don’t need to tell you that. You already know. The rest of the fruitbats that post here don’t want to hear it, because getting off their asses and doing something would require some w-o-r-k.
As long as obamao is in office they know their livelyhood will be taken care of by whitey.
I think I’ll write about racism for a second. Before I start, let me say that I don’t really know anything about racism. In all my life and travels I can say that I’ve never really seen racism. Don’t get me wrong, I know it exists, somewhere, but it’s never been a part of my life. I’ve worked with, and work now, with people from other races, religions and cultures and we all seem to get along just fine. What I do know something about is human nature.
Roger Bannister of England was the first runner to break the four minute mile; he did it on May 6th 1954. Running is one of, if not the oldest, sports there is and yet it took until 1954 for a man to run the mile in less than four minutes. Running faster than four minutes was considered by many to be impossible, a matter of physics. Now here’s what I find amazing, the second man to run faster than four minutes, John Landy, who also broke Bannister’s record, ran just six weeks after Bannister! And after that many people would run faster then four minutes, something had changed but what? Did the human body suddenly improve? Here’s what happened, runners for the first time, after Bannister, knew that it could be done! Running that fast was not impossible. Now runners break four minutes all the time.
I believe that many Black people don’t believe that they have everything it takes to live free, independent, prosperous and joy filled lives on there own without help from anyone and this makes me very sad. I think that many Black people are like the runners before Bannister, who if they failed to beat four minutes would think, “Well, I ran fast enough, it’s impossible to beat four minutes anyway.”
Racism becomes an internal barrier for many Black people, I believe. Problems of every kind can be blamed upon it. Can’t get a job? Racism. Can’t get though school? Racism. Pulled over for a traffic ticket? Racism, and on and on.
This mentality is truly enslavement and unfortunately it has become a source of power for many on the Left. Many political leaders have found that all they have to do to motivate the enslaved to action is to address racism and promise to set the captives free.
Conservative’s know that Black people don’t need, “To be set free” they ARE free; they just need to realize it in their hearts. Also, they need to realize that the key to remaining free is accepting responsibility for themselves and their families. You can not be free and live off of others.
I know how you felt, Greg, when you saw the Black people on the Glen Beck show. My heart gets a pang of joy when I see Black people taking responsibility and fighting for real freedom.
If anyone reading this is offended by what I’ve written than I sincerely apologize. I believe that our nation will be stronger when everyone is free and what I see is that many of our fellow citizens have traded the white slave owner’s house for the White House in Washington D.C.
This Rogger Bannister story I remember hearing from a preacher! I see where you are getting at Paulie, but it is unsound – spiritually and scientfically – to approach a multi-faceted and highly complex issue such as identity by disecting it and dividing it into peices.
Some things can be approached in such manner, however, like jigsaws, somethings are best to be seen holistically. In this case, racial conciousness is the last thing you want to compare as a simple race.
I see the ‘moral of the story,’ so to speak! Yet, you are failing to consider the interaction between socio-structural + historical forces and humanity.
Yes, you are free; yet your freedom is governed by natural, biological, spiritual, and in this case, social laws. It is very simplistic to place the burden of freedom to the one already historically oppressed and victimized. It is like blaming an abused wife or blaming a woman who has been raped without considering the conditioned structual events that took place in the interaction between her and the perpetrator, which in my case is nevertheless, also a victim of external and internal forces.
Look, what you are implying – though with good heart i’m sure – places the burden of humantarian freedom and justice on those who have been abused and oppressed! That’s like breaking someones leg and then blaming them for not being able to walk properly, or taking a long time to do so! Catch my drift?
You cannot render ‘whites’ once again salient and invisible in their historical and present day participation in race related anti-humanitarian.
Look, as I tell my folks: a wound cannot heal if you ignore it or try to deny its existence. This is unfortunately what whites have unknowingly been doing. I know it may be done out of good faith and intentions, however, as a socio-psychologist, I know that something as emotionally and cognitively charged as racism will not go by ignoring it; only by looking at it and then going through it.
A woman trying to forget how she was abused will often find that 10 years later she still is hunted by the memory; and this is so for she has tried to stuff it and repress its memory instead of liberating it. Yet, in order to liberate something one has to muster the courage to look at it as leaves.
It’s also odd that you say you are joyful when you see black people “trying to take responsible for their lives.” Well, as you mentioned above, you have not had much experience with nonwhites and their culture, and i can observe that you havent studied Critical White Studies and engaged in a self-reflective engagment where you realize that your whiteness is a social construct and conditoning; just like how people act out gender; many also act out ‘race.’
Anyways, let us refrain from perpetuating the rhetorics found amongst many so called anti-racist pedagogy.
In short, Paulie, both ‘whites’ and ‘nonwhites’ have been mentally abused and attacked by historical notions of white supremict ideologies. Yes, ‘whites’ as well are victims of white supremacy! While the effect not be structural or physical as nonwhites, it nevertheless shapes their perception and psychology. It effects their interaction and what they call reality. And this is so for every colours. Whites have internalized white supremist ideologies in various degrees – from extrem to mild to unconcious – and so have nonwhites!
Cheers!
Whooahh :0) ! I think you may be giving me too much credit! As I wrote, I don’t claim to know very much about racism at all. I certainly never sat down and, “studied Critical White Studies and engaged in a self-reflective engagement where I realized that my whiteness was a social construct and conditioning;” (And if it ever looks like I’m about to do that someone please slap me.) What I wrote was that in my travels I just haven’t seen racism. I’ve lived on both coats and in the middle. I’ve held all kinds of jobs. I was in the military with Black people and I work with them now. I go out after work and have beers with Black co-workers, I tell jokes with Blacks, we talk about our kids and what we’re going to do on the weekend. I smile at them and they smile back. It’s not deep but it’s real. I’ve just always seen people being people and getting along, that’s my experience. The white people who I know don’t hate Black people, that’s my experience too.
The Bannistar story (Which I heard via a preacher also, by the way) speaks to the idea of internal barriers. Often times we limit ourselves, not consciously perhaps, but we’ve been “Programmed” a certain way. Now, you’ve written “It is very simplistic to place the burden of freedom to the one already historically oppressed and victimized” So I ask, “Then who should be responsible? Who has the burden of freeing the Black person, for example, from his internal barrier? I’m talking practically here. If a Black man feels inferior, feels oppressed, etc, who should free him? Should the Black man wait for someone to come along, wait for me? Wait for enough white people to take enough classes on racism so that all of society changes for the Black man? As hard as it may sound the person who will have to free the individual Black man is the individual Black man. Yes, from a practical standpoint the individual must free himself because the alternative, waiting for society to change, will not help the individual. While he waits, and he’ll wait all his life, he’ll be a slave to the programming he received.
This is why I responded to Greg’s post and wrote how happy it made me to see Black people who somehow have freed themselves. I’m sorry but I see very little to gain in talking about racism all the time. How about just treating everyone you meet at a friend until they prove that they can’t be your friend? I think that that’s the solution to racism not telling every child from kindergarten on that if someone treats them badly then it may be because of your race. I think that this kind of thing just perpetuates racism.
Well, that’s my take.
Sounds like a lot of hogwash to me. How can you equate an abused woman with someone feeeling like a victim because of slavery? Seperated by hundreds of years, you cannot claim to feeel their pain and expect to realistically be believed. With all the social and economic changes that have taken place since, to still buy into that kind of victimology or plantation ideological dogma, is self-defeating. In addition to that, it also portends to excuse attitudes and behaviors that are destructive to not only yourself, your race, but society as a whole.
In your post you keep trying to equate things happening to a person in thier own life to things you can only read about in history books, as one and the same.
A broken leg your great great great grandfather had does not cause you the same or worse physical pain than your own broken leg. To assume that it does and must be treated like it does is absurd.
To imagine the ancestors of the person that broke your great great great grandfathers leg still owes you retribution for it. Is too ignorant to even say out loud.
Pretending that, your great great great grandaddy’s broken leg prevents you from getting an education, or a job, or relinquishes you from responsibility for your actions is exactly the idea fermenting in the minds of many minorities and poor whites alike. Thanks to liberal victim ideology, plantation politics if you will. That my friend is racism. To deny that everybody has the ability to rise above their current circumstances is a joke at face value. To pretend they can’t rise above their ancestors circumstances, is too stupid to even consider.
I couldn’t agree more. What was amazing to me was hearing black people describle the plantation politics of the democrats so clearly. All conservatives of every stripe and color automatically understand this.
The democrats have been quite successful in the old divide and conquer strategy, destroying that which binds us, then by pulling a bunch of different factions under the same tent called socialism. The communists used to call them useful fools.
I’m interested in your views on how the media and public education, has developed and fostered the victim mentality prevelent in society today. As you can plainly see by leftwing posters on this board, it seems critical thinking has left the building and is no longer a functioning part of these peoples brains.

Wurd?
Don’t listen to him Paulie4, I love your tough talk on how Obama is ruining the country. It makes me hot and my booty wet. Tell me more you sexy fucking blowmehard. I am massaging my two inch pecker right now while I read your diatribe. Yes, tell me more you sexy fucker you. Reading your words makes me want to shove my weener so far up your ass, it makes me want to scream. Paulie, OH Paulie…….Yessss….. Give it too me. Oh Paulie, I am on my knees, stick it in my asss baby, Yesssss. Butt fuck me like the bitch boy that I am. Your ilk drives me wild.
You have to wonder how liberals get the idea that they represent an “educated class” with their arguements.
Fuck you!
Fuck your mother dumbass.
I already fucked yours Lone Ranger.
I fucked yours first and your daddy and your sister and your dog.
I got fucked by everybody and the dog. hehe
Your sister tossed my salad….. me likey
How could you have such a cool name and be such a douchebag?
I ask that myself, then I realize that I am you. I am you, you are me, we live together in perfect, harmony. With my asian blowup doll, rusty pick-up and construction business. I feel very accomplished. Never mind the forclosures, divorce, kids that don’t respect me, and a business that no longer makes money, I am A-Ok. Sniff, too bad I don’t use know how to use my rear view mirror, I never would have run over my daughters pet doggie. Then I never would have had to go in her room to wake her up and allow her the chance to watch her beloved pooch die in a puddle of blood in the middle of the night in our drive-way. Besides the many years of theropy she has to endure because of it, it has made her, and me, a better person.
Wow. There are people who actually do have shit for brains.
Good luck with that!
Ya know!!! I was never the brightest bulb in the box. Look at me arguing with myself.
Good ploy! not. Regardless of having nothing to say, you change your name and say something stupid anyway.
Your ilk sickens me Lone faggot. You are kind of cute though, sitting atop your white horse with you pretty little mask on. It makes my butt wet. Bend me over and horse fuck me hard.
Pardon me if I don’t give a rats ass what sickens you princess. Your homo-infatuation, while flattering to some, is going to go unfulfilled here as well. You might as well get back out on the street and try peddling your ass there.
Nah, I will go ahead and peddle your faggot ass instead.
I eat boogers too
So what?
American’s are out of work and our economic future is being spent all because B.O. and gang believe that the government, not individual Americans, should be the source of all that is good in America.
So what?!
Can you do anything about it?
NO?!
Then STFU. Your opinions are about as useless as passing gas. Although the act may feel good to you, the gas you’re passing is an indicator that you are full of shit.
Let’s all walk calmly off the Grassy Knoll and take our aluminum foil hats off for a second and have a conversation.
In your last paragraph you wrote: “republican former president and his entourage are the originators of this mess, and their administrations are to be blamed.”
What do you mean by “This mess,” and what did the former president exactly do to cause it?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Hey, why so down little trooper? There are all sorts of things we can do. The people still have the power; we’re just not using it …so start using it! I went to my first Tea Party a couple of weeks ago. Contact your representatives and above all remember who voted for things like the health care bill and cap and trade, so you can vote them out!
Speaking of little troopers, I have a one and a half inch trooper right here. Reach in my trousers and introduce yourself again. Don’t be shy Paulie4, nobody has to know how you gained the title of ‘blowhard’. Ps, it don’t have to do with your long diatribes you write either. Just bring those anti President lips over here and do what you do best, shallow throat.
Do your parents know you are on-line, talking to big people?
Your the pervert talking trying to pick up little boys.
In your dream little man, in your dreams.
No, I don’t want you to touch me there sir. Noooooo, thats my no no spot.
Well, I’m guessing Paulie thinks that if enough of you people would use your brain instead of your feeeeelings, you might be compelled to vote differently and change the course obamao has us on.
But I can see how your foul mouthed drivel is much more inspiring than reasoned thought on the issues facing this country.
Good luck with that!
Up yours Greg and Paulie4!!!!!!! If you have a better idea how to get this country out the mess our former president got us in, then run for president and fix it. If not, shut the f&@k up.
Good luck with THAT!
Now look at how nonsensicle your whole world view is. Do you see any of us blaming your mother because you are a douchebag??
Do you see anybody blaming her for the idiotic and moronic responses you post?
At some point your ilk are going to have to take responsibilty for your actions. You can’t keep whining,”its not my fault, its not my fault”. Yeah, it is. Man up you sissy.
Me, a sissy? Your the one getting buttfucked on the internets moron. You and your buttbuddy P4 need to shaddap already. Do the world a favor and take a long leap of a high cliff.
Yeah, you are a panty wearing sissy. A first class coward! Completely intimidated by people who know what they are talking about, you respond with an unbelievable level of stupidity, imagining you are defending your point of view. You also think your comments offend people, they don’t. All you do is make yourself look even more pathetic and maladjusted.
Carry on!
Fuck you, and not the way Paulie fucks you in the ass, but the bad way. May Paulie4 fuck you in the mouth while Greg fucks you up the ass like the homo sandwich you are.
aren’t you the clever little queer, we should get together
You are almost as clever a queer as me.
