The only people I have noticed calling Obama the Messiah, The One,
the Second Coming, etc are you conservatives. There is nothing creepy about about a man breaking thru a hither-to unattainable barrier. If his message to the world is to inspire people to be all they can be and never back down, that is a good thing. So quit being paranoid and pray that his presidency can indeed repair this nation and bring back dignity and respect to America in the eyes of the world.

There is nothing creepy about about a man breaking thru a hither-to unattainable barrier.

Only for women, just ask a Democrat why.

Hey Einstein, Reagan had a republican Senate for 6 of his 8 years. He got his agenda passed because the democrats went along with the popular president and now we’re all feeling the effects of his hands-off, neglectful way of running the country. He’ll not be treated kindly by history.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

and we are not mocking him, we are mocking YOU…

Well some of both from me….

More mocking of the electorate, and amazement that they could elect someone so unqualified, but also mocking of the recipient and his ability to snow everyone who voted for him, including the far lefties who he is now turning his back on.

Soros is fuming because after Kerry’s bid, he got a t-shirt that said, “I spent $29 million for a president, and all I got was this stupid t-shirt”. and now they are working on his new t-shirt for the 08 election.

Reagan had a republican Senate for 6 of his 8 years.

Irrelevant; all spending bills originate in the House. You failed your US govt class, didn’t you?

His economy not only rescued us from the Carter debacle, which was worse than what is going on today, but he built the foundation for why Obamunism will be unable to destroy the economy.
Get help.

Wrong again! It was a 4% difference.

53% – 46% = 7% (Presidential results@MSNBC)

I suppose that could be 4% if you use hillbilly math…

Another lie from you; President Reagan was never “canonized”, and he united us under the aegis of American values; the Constitution and the founding principles. He had to deal with an entrenched Dem Congress, and he got his agenda passed by persuading them, and the Dem voters, to cooperate with all Americans, and give up their reflexive divisiveness.
You couldn’t be more wrong. I guess you’re ignorant of the “Blue Dog” Dems. President Reagan formed a coalition, contrary to your lie.

52%-48%=4%, but it’s only a swing of 2%, so you still can’t do simple arithmetic.

Read your post. No intelligent person would see anything to fear in this plate. This is a memento of history.
But, no you do not see it that way. You see it as a way to stir up resentment and fear. As a matter of fact, when you look at many of the fearmongering statements made by you conservatives, it brings to mind how Hitler was able to subjugate his feeble-minded minions to his will.

I hope the people who buy junk like this feel stupid when they realize that Obama and the leftist illuminati aren’t as great as they thought they were

Odd coming from the people who cannonized reagan for dividing the country into us versus them.

Saint Reagan, the patron saint of deficit spending!

Larry: Looks like a good deal! I’m going to pay extra for shipping and handling so that mine doesn’t get broken in the mail! Heh.

This is one of the most stupid blogs I have ever seen. The posters must be Republicans, Nazis or members of the KKK.

OK, Time to fess up here.

You still got that White Robe and Pointy Hood I lent you Rob?

I think I need it back. :>)

Deification of a Dictatorial leader is nothing new.

Kim Jong Il is the Dear Leader

Stalin (literally Steel) was Uncle Joe and, incidently so was Uncle Ho (Chi Mihn).

All, and their forebears, be they Ceasar, Napoleon, Hitler of Mussolini, were the centers of Cults of Personality universes.

Hitler, Mussolini, and their followers have been industrious mythmakers. The near-deification of Hitler by the Nazis and the technique of mass hypnotism of the Germans are things that we, as a democratic people, find it very difficult to understand. To us it is incredible that a fanatical, intense, uneducated Munich agitator, unschooled in economics and politics, should be exalted by mass appeals and terroristic tactics into an all-powerful and “infallible” leader, “Der Führer,” who exacts unquestioned obedience from his people. This “infallibility” that the Nazis have credited to Hitler is bluntly expressed in the words of Robert Ley, the director of the Nazi Labor Front. “Germany must obey like a well-trained soldier,” he said. “The Führer, Adolf Hitler, is always right.”

Hey …. admin question. What’s with all the after-added quote marks?

Dick in Nether Orifice.

Just more BS from a BF.

I’ve mentioned on and off for about two years the parallels of FDR Jr’s rhetoric to that of many historical tyrants, not the least to be Adolph, but there are several, including Lenin and Mao. Most folks only know about Hitler’s reign, won’t take the time to educate themselves regarding his rise, which is where The Little Prince is right now.

One of the most disturbing aspects of this kind of rise to power is the unapologetic rationalization for every word said and every act commited (a-la ollie-B’s comments). This is the McDonald’s Age of the push to power, where people used to take 10 or more years to be convinced of a savior we now get it done in two…

I do, however, believe one of his promises; There will be change…

I’ve ordered one. I’m in the process of redecorating my 1/2 bath off the mud room in an Obama motif. Plan to hang it right above the stool. Anybody know where I can find a toilet paper holder featuring a pic of Michelle?

Set it on the mantel next to the Elvis plate.

Somehow, it seems appropriate that a company like “The American Historic Society” would be peddling the Obama “VictoryPlate.” Take a gander at this link:

Loved and revered..not cannonized. Why? Here’s a glimpse of his greatness.

In 1964, in language that’s just as apt [even more so] today, Ronald Regan said:

In this vote harvesting time, they use terms like “Great Society,” or [that] we must accept a “greater government activity in the affairs of the people”.

..Another voice says that the profit motive has become outmoded, it must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state; or our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of our country.

Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded. And Senator Clark defines liberalism as ” meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government.” Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me-the free man and woman of this country-as “the masses.”

But beyond that, “the full power of centralized government”-this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. A government can’t control the economy without controlling the people.

And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve it’s purpose. You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

Now contrast that with the dismal darkness of Obama.

“The Constitution reflected the enormous blindspot in this culture that carries on to this day……the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties….it doesn’t say what the federal government “must” do on your behalf”

What a buch of Orwellian double-speak. It’s meaningles B.S. It’s a lie. The Founders explicitly delineated what governments must do “on your behalf.” PRESERVE YOUR FREEDOM

BTW the Constitution is “NOT” a charter; it’s the law of the land and there is no such thing as “negative liberties.” Liberty is liberty, period.

How in God’s name can nearly half of the American electorate fall for this marxists bullshit?

I saw this commertial on TV earlier today.

It’s funny that the plates are described as “priceless,” then at the end we find out they cost $19.95.

Which is it, Priceless or $19.95.

What kind of idiot puts a decorative plate of a politician on their wall? Royce Gracie I could understand, but a politician!

Gman, thank you for the site of custom TP. I will have to order BO and Michele TP. I will enjoy what I do with it.

Hell, I thought I had made the most commonsense arguement of them all:

Reagan has already served his Presidency, Obama hasn’t started his

Reagan is deceased, Obama is not

Is it really that hard to get your mind around that???

And yes, this is a weird and creepy commercial. I don’t think any president, or president-elect should be put on a pedestal, beloved and respected, sure, but don’t build ANYONE up to a standard that is impossible to fulfill. The people who buy stuff like this have Elvis plates and Princess Di plates. I guess we actually should pity them for their lack of taste, rather than aything else. Can you picture that living room? Maybe a Princess Di doll lamp? Or an Elvis figurine that plays music on the mantle?

The Senate has far broader powers to stop spending, hello? filibuster? Your party has used it more than ever. Besides, Reagan’s budgets submitted to the House asked for even more spending than they approved. Then of course there’s the veto.

NEXT!

Yeah, such an inspiration. Go listen to this ridiculous recording Reagan made in 1961 warning of the “socialism” of Medicare:

Some ridiculous reagan crap

Now the republicans act as if they invented it and Bush even crudely expanded it greatly with the prescription drug benefit!

Reagan will be vilified for his free-market lies once this Depression gets cranking.

It resembles the following of Ronald.Even to this day.

How in God’s name can nearly half of the American electorate fall for this marxists bullshit?

John McCain failed to give the electorate a contrasting view of how the country should be run.

Goodbye!

Good riddance, stereotype thinker.

Where are you getting these numbers? What redneck website are you citing?

Oh I forgot. I’m speaking to the most rabid of the rabid right-wing extremists. Never mind. You guys will conjure figures from pure fantasy… I don’t have time for this shit.

Goodbye!

Groetzinger,

You have now reached insanity. Reagan was a great president, but he had many,many critics during his presidency. He is beloved by a lot of people today, but he has also already served as president, something Obama hasn’t done, plus he is deceased. When Obama has served his term, and hopefully done a great job, then it would be much more appropriate to commemorate. Now it is just too much.

Boob, not that I’m a Nixon fan, but there’s a difference between “Nixon’s the one” and “Obama’s The One.”

I don’t think anyone would accuse Nixon of having a cult of personality.
