Ferrari Mailing List: Re: stupidity of the press

[Dick Petrick (rtpetrick]

Unc...
Amen, pretty much!

Dinger...thanks for your positive spin. It is refreshing, no doubt, and the
way ahead is indeed long. The concern of many who will not receive
"something for nothing" is that after the next 4 years, the way ahead may be
longer than it is today. The new messiah (whose name may not be spoken) is a
Harvard trained lawyer. I've often wondered why the mass intelligencia seems
to believe that all lawyers are brilliant. I've never understood the
phenomenon, and probably never will because I know many lawyers who seem to
demonstrate the converse of the belief ....but then, I'm no one to make
judgments.  

I am curious about whether or not you think it is brilliant to conduct
Iranian negotiations without conditions....as the new messiah (whose name
may not spoken) appears to think.  

Regards

LD I have taken this off the Ferrari list because it ain't no place  
for this way off-topic stuff.

Dunno why you think Obama is brilliant. I'll spot you charismatic,  
convincing campaigner, my problem lies with collectivist community  
organizer. All we know so far is he is good at getting elected. He did  
nothing of note in the Senate. Obama trumpets 'change' buts surrounds  
himself with liberal retreads from the Clinton cabinet. His longtime  
friends and associates are all card-carrying members of the Chicago  
corruptocracy, former domestic terrorists and race baiting fanatics.

Ask yourself this: what would your assessment of BHO be if he were  
white? I repeat I have no problem with a man elected president who is  
black. I have a huge problem with a man elected president  because he  
is black. What we have done is not change: it is as if one of Jimmy  
Carter's turds grew arms and legs and became re-animated. Same old  
sixties mantra: liberalism, radical environmentalism and mass  
rejection of our core values and traditions all mixed in with a  
compelling economic ignorance and administrative incompetence.

To be fair I was deeply disappointed by the simple shit who preceded  
BHO as POTUS as well. America, the greatest, most successful and  
generous society the world has ever seen. Land of the free. And we go  
out and elect a guy who wants it all to change.

To hell with it, I'll let this stand on the f-list and take my lumps.
