I think not, Mike. From what I read, the Muslims are acquiring entirely too much power over you folks in Western Europe. I don't think I wanna live under Sharia law.
I think you are reading to many horror novels Jim. They are pissing round the edges but it is only a matter of time before they get a reaction.
Reading an interesting article were it details that Obama is actually America's sixth President with black/mixed race ancestory.
Thomas Jefferson was described as being the son of a half breed Indian squaw and a Virgininian mulatto father. He went to great lengths to destroy all documents about his mother including seizing letters she wrote to others.
Andrew Jackson was alleged to be the son of an Irish Woman married to a black man and who had an oldest brother sold as a slave.
Lincoln was said to have been the illegitimate son of a African man explaining his dark looks and coarse hair.
Warren Harding apparently accepted that their was black ancestory on both sides of his family line and attended Iberia College a school founded to educate fugitive slaves.
Calvin Coolridge claimed his mother's dark looks came from mixed Indian ancestry - her maiden name was Moor which in Europe was a name often given to blacks.
Im not saying any of the above is true as most can not be categorically confirmed
but any comments.
Lotta truth in this cartoon.
Ain't it the truth. Thanks for sharing that one.

Back in the 1800s when the People were Moving West to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, there were Very Few White Woman in the West at that time, so they took on Indians or Native Americans and Mexicans as Their Wives, so we Still have Many Cross-Breeds in the West !!!

As the other Jim said earlier, it's not his "blackness" that bothers me but his "redness", as in Marxist, a euphemism for communist.
Must admit I would take my chances on Obama as opposed to the unreformed Brown socialism we have here. In terms of politics left and right there is damn all difference. They all want power and control and the same ruling elite remain in power generation after generation. One of the few appeals of Mc Cain / Palin ticket was the outsider maverick element that they represented.
This Time I must Agree With Stumpy, This Obama Scares The Hell Out Of Me !
DukePilgrim, What is this thing You Call "BROWN SOCIALISM ?"
Bill
Goofy Gordon Brown our under performing extremely unfunny Tony Blair replacement as Prime Minister although rumour has it that Tony will be returning to save the world as Foreign Secretary.
I think Obama will be too busy withdrawing from Iraq and fire fighting the problems with the current economic crisis to do much long term damage. Remember Bill & Hillary had big plans and they were shot down very quickly. After which he effective did nothing for his two terms apart from chase Monica.
Once the media shine comes off Obama it should be time for congressional /senate elections in two years time so if the Republicans can take control of both houses that will helm him in for his last two years.
What is needed now is an effective candidate for 2012 to be found to make sure Obama is another 1 term Democrat President.

The Dems control a large majority of statehouses now, Mike, and I read there's a plan afoot to gerrymander the GOP right out of existence in the states they control. Which means there's small chance of winning enough seats to take control of Congress, probably for many years. We'd have to have someone with the political smarts, and the balls to go with it, to formulate a winning plan and for certain there's nobody in a position of power within the current Republican Party with those prerequisites.
The Dems play the political game the way it's supposed to be played - in other words, take no prisoners. Sure wish there were some people on the right who were as ruthless but in my 50 years of closely following political developments, I can't remember but one or two who were. Newt Gingrich was one and then he shot himself in the foot. Tom DeLay was another and he did the same thing.

Outside of Sarah I can discern few viable candidates on the horizon. As I've said repeatedly, I'd vote for Senators Tom Coburn of Oklahoma or Jim DeMint of South Carolina in a New York minute but I've never heard or read of even the suggestion that either is interested in the presidency.

The Pubbies need more people like this and fewer of the wimps now extant in the party.
Stumpy,
You and I have lived these times Many Times Before and we will make it Again Unless We Get Called To That Big Rainbow in the Sky, but Remember what Duke Would Have Said.
REMEMBER THE ALAMO !!!

Never in my 70 and your almost 80 years of life have we had someone like this jerk running things, Bill. Even LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton weren't as radically far-left as Obama.
What scares me is that he and his Democrat Congress will cut our military to the point where we can't defend ourselves from our many enemies. Clinton cut the military so much that our boys have had a helluva time staying on top of those Muslims in the Middle East and I think things are only gonna get worse. Certain people (and we all know who they are) have already been testing the limits, even before Obama takes office.
It's amazing how things are perceived bleaker than they are. I know this for a fact, if "We the People" let this happen it will happen. I believe that better days are coming, maybe not next year or the year after, but it will come. This is a wake up call. And I think that the government has taken too many things for granted for a long time now, including the Republicans. It's about time to get off our butts and make the changes ourselves.
You've got to be kidding if you think John McCain was going to make things happen. He had no plan, no idea how to move this country forward, and most of all nobody to back him up. The only thing that was good was Sarah Palin. They crucified her and it seems that it was also coming from the McCain campaign, too. I don't know if she's the one, but she does have that Reganess that we yearn for.
This too will pass, we survived Jimmy Carter, didn't we? In my memory as a youth, the Republicans messed things up then, with the Richard Nixon mess, and not too much inspiration from Gerald Ford. It was a hard four years, and Ronald Regan had a lot to fix, but he did so with the idiots in Washington. This will have to be the same, so you may be making those sacrifices as Obama says, but not the way he makes it sound. Hang in there, gang. This too will pass.

Hi Mike
Welcome back, you seem to have been gone for a while.

Words cannot sufficiently describe this . . .
When the Mrs. saw this on the screen, she asked if it was a joke . . . or real. It seems to be really for sale . . . not that I'll be rushing out to buy one. But after this financial crisis, maybe we'll all be carrying them in our pockets. 
Since the election, I too have been sleeping like a baby . . . sleep for two hours, wake up and . . . (a la John McCain, on Jay Leno).
Chester, All I can say is after seeing The New Coin Was,
Holy Mackerel Andy AMEN !!!
Bill
It certainly won't be legal tender!
