Obama is not Hitler, and neither was George W. Bush. STOP calling people Hitler! Until citizens are rounded and exterminated in internment camps or shot on the streets, Hitler is still dead. Geez!

• I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.

I think we may be past the point of no return, folks. Pointing fingers at Reagan, FDR, etc. isn't helping. The genius we elected this time around, because of the historical significance, is digging a hole at a rate faster than all of those dead presidents put together. He's throwing us, and our children in it.
Welcome to the U.S.S.A. It's not coming. It's here.

On Those Republicans

I say that the post office should raise the price of stamps to $ .50 a stamp and LEAVE IT THERE! I'm talking a good long time. I don't like the frequent increases, but I think I dislike even more the fact that they never seem to settle on an even numbered amount for the stamps. They went from .39 to .41, and didn't even stop at .40. I like to be able to figure out the price of 20 stamps without even thinking, instead of having to carry the one in my head.
As for lost mail, I sent a $400.00 check on Expressmail a few years back. I paid an inflated rate from Nebraska to Alabama to get it there in a day. Three weeks later, it showed. Think I got a refund? Not just no, but Hell NO!

Earth Day is special to me because it was founded by Ira Einhorn, nicknamed the Unicorn Killer. He murdered his girlfriend, stuffed her in a trunk and stored her in a closet while he traipsed around the globe telling us how horrible we were in our cars. Whackjob!

Seems to me that Mr. Sanderson made the best decision he could at the time with the most expert information to be found at the time. Please keep in mind that there a lot of elderly veterans that would have made that parade, rain or shine. Many are from the Greatest Generation, for Pete's sake! If it had been during a steady downpour, there's a good chance that some of these heroes would have come down ill. Someone could have been struck by lightning. Slips & falls would have been an issue. What fun would that have been, for anyone? You scholarly critics need to take a chill pill and realize that, while the Emporia Veteran's Day is important, it's not life & death. These vets have run that risk already. Now it's time to honor them while we still have them around.

Sounds like a reasonable investment. Folks expect to get back a lot more with an Obama presidency. Might as well donate those tax-free dollars to Obama so he can give back even more.

On Emporia gives more to Obama than to McCain

Just a taste of the future. Obama will be involved in every aspect of our lives!

I will admit that McCain is not my first choice amongst all of the candidates from primary season. Do I admire him for his sacrifice during Vietnam? Hell, yeah. Do I think that he is a bright guy that is the best suited and most experienced of the two major Presidential candidates? Right again. Did I support him before the convention. Nope. Why would I support a man that brought us McCain/Feingold? George Soros thanks you for that one, John. My biggest beef with Obama is the fact that he and his subordinates will stop at nothing, and I mean nothing, to get elected. The ACORN stuff will more than likely be nothing but a drop in the bucket when it's all said & done. Where I'm at in Missouri, we've had several people get a $2300 charge put on to their credit card, paid to "Obama For America." Some are Republicans and didn't authorize these charges.
The court appointees will shock even you lefties with the total lack of regard to the Constitution in the years to come. The social programs that will empty our pockets and stifle any initiative will be laughable, except it's not funny.
Let's be real. Obama will probably win. All of you highly educated posters will get your wish, and we'll see what happens. You'll have to take the good with the bad, along with the rest of us. I will say this, though. If Obama gets elected, then he will be my President, and I will support him. I may disagree with every one of his policies, but I'm an American, and he will be our American President. I won't bash him daily, or joke about how stupid he is or call him a Nazi or any of that petty childish stuff President Bush has had to endure for the last 8 years. Our President will be a reflection of us, and we owe it to the office to treat the office with the respect it deserves.
Of course, the next campaigns will be right around the corner.
