I will concede Obama could be a greater threat to the country than George W., just on pure intelect.This being said, he could also be a greater help to the country for the same reasons.

im just saying. Obama was portrayed as many things during the campaign...none of which he has backed up or followed through on...hence his approval now below 50%.

I think my point is that if you look around the world right now and in America....the left currently represents a socialist...welfare & handout ideology. I also firmly believe there is a growing anti-jew ideology entrenched in the American and European leftists of 2009 which will be confronted sometime in the near future. The left also seeks to control and direct peoples individual lives in any way they can.....what we eat...how much I drive....what I set my air conditioner on.... what dr. i wanna use and for what...the list goes on and on and it's pathetic. Liberals would reach into your home and mine and tell us what to do if they could...
Islandborn if you read the quotes posted I don't believe I said Obama is a threat of any type! The point is not that Obama is super intelligent. The point is, he is smarter than the man who had photo ops reading a book upside down.
Hopefully this is just a misunderstanding and not an attempt to make a point with misquoted material. I do have to wonder about it because that is a ploy the right uses a lot to make points. (Misstating facts = FOX NEWS)
Actually since you mentioned bowing it implies it does matter to you. Since it is important to you it is important to me. :thumbsup:
Bowing (ojigi) is an important custom in Japan.
Bowing is a gesture of respect. Different bows are used for apologies and gratitude, to express different emotions, humility, sincerity, remorse, or deference, and in various traditional arts and religious ceremonies.
To preform the bow that would imply weakness you would kneel, bow forward with your forehead and hands touching the floor.
A TIP ON BOWING:
If you are new to Japan, you may find at first that you are not sure when to bow or how low or for how long. Most Japanese just appreciate that you make the effort and try but, if in doubt, bow lower and for slightly longer than the person you are meeting. You canâ??t go too far wrong with that! And when you start bowing on the phone, youâ??ll know youâ??ve got the hang of it.:thumbsup:

"....the left currently represents a socialist...welfare & handout ideology."I'm not going to argue a lot on this point!! I also see socialist...welfare policies. Socialism has always been a part of the U.S. policy. It may be more apparent now that the left is using socialism to undo the damage the fascist on the right have caused. The elitist, military based policies that have pushed this country to the brink may need a touch of socialism to undo them. I don't know. If I knew the answers I would be in D.C. not here.

"I also firmly believe there is a growing anti-jew ideology entrenched in the American and European leftists of 2009"
Beliefs are a wonderful thing. Beliefs are even more wonderful when they are rooted in fact.
I don't believe the Jewish community is with you on this though.
According to NJDC - President Obama received nearly 78% of the Jewish vote.
According to Institute of Global Jewish Affairs -Obama received 78% of the Jewish community's vote, the seventh highest percentage in history. The Illinois Democrat trails only Franklin Roosevelt (1936-1940-1944, 90%), John Kennedy (1960, 82%), Lyndon Johnson (1964, 90%), Hubert Humphrey (1968, 81%), Bill Clinton (1992, 80%), and Al Gore (2000, 79%) in receiving such Jewish support.[1]
If you would point me to some FACTS that indicate a Anti-Semitic ideology on the left in America, I would be glad to look at them.
Once again FACTS are nice.
The Fact is NOONE has told me what to eat, what Dr. to see. This is more of an economic thing, I drive if I have Gas, I eat steak if I can afford it. If I can afford a specialist I don't go to the Community Clinic.

"Liberals would reach into your home and mine and tell us what to do if they could..."
The only argument I have with this statement is that it is not confined to Liberals!
Both right and left seek to control us. Some use methods that are direct and some are more indirect. We can be told not to drive or the government can make it less appealing to drive. We can be told which Dr. to go see or we can have it so expensive we can't afford health care.

Both sides want to control us they just implement different tactics to get the job done.

I hope you don't tire easily of these chats. I love your input!!
Even though we may disagree on some of it.:computerlove1:
