Is it the 15 cent Christmas tree tax?
I don't think so.
Hate for Obama is something they can't explain by anything Obama has done or not done.
Just they hate him because... well, you know.
Funny how the Obama haters can't say exactly why they hate him

Really? That's the crap you're going to shovel on this one?
Define "at this rate". Name a single action by the Democrats or Obama that has inched us down the road toward banishing the constitutional right to vote for our political leaders?
Republicans? Oh hell yes! Movements to defund elections and make voting centers more remote or difficult to get to, abolishing or strictly limiting absentee voting, overzealous attempts at documentation, and convictions for outright voting fraud are hallmarks of the Republican party.
But Democrats? Go ahead, lets hear your support your assertion.

The USA Patriot Act could be used to suspend elections in an emergency, where emergency is defined at the sole discretion of the president. Pretty much, the president can do anything under the USA Patriot Act.
Of course, Republicans are mostly responsible for that act.

He may be a decent person and I do not hate President Obama.. but certainly does hang with very abnormal questionable hateful people who would rather see me, a white man, dead.
And you ask, why does Patrick feel some hate Obama?
This is a rather strange question.
Father Flagler (Radical racist advocating black liberation theology)
William Ayers (anti-american terrorist who helped launch his career, leader of a group which bombed the pentagon)
Reverend Wright (race baiting spiritual mentor who espouses black liberation theology and was his paster for 20 years, baptizing his children and conducting his marraige ceremony)
Saul Alinsky (mentor, author of Rules for Radicals, an anti-american instruction book in which he dedicated to satan)

Why did so fiscally responsible Obama reappoint all the same people back that caused the financial collapse in the first place? The only person that was let go was Greenspan, and that was before Obama even took the office.
Why are government unions, LAUSD for example, no matter how much money is thrown at them always spend more than they take in?.... someone isn't very responsible with money.

Still claiming to not be a racist?
3 of the 4 people you mention here are white men.
2 of the 4 Obama has never even spoken to (one died when he was 10 years old!)
Only one of those people on your list is even someone that you could say had any influence on the man, and the only things you know about him are a few controversial out-of-context video clips that were used to attempt to harm Obama in the 2008 election.
And the funny thing about that one person is that the "controversial" stuff that he said would be completely agreed upon by most of the Obama haters if it came out of the mouth of a white conservative. It's all very anti-government, pro-God, pro-individual rah rah bullshit.

All these specious arguments were already used in the last election and failed miserably. A losing strategy is a losing strategy.
The whole "Obama is a Fascist, Socialist, Communist, Kenyan, American-hating, freedom-hating, corrupt, anti-Christian, swimming pool hating, Christmas tree taxing devil incarnate" argument will get you EXACTLY where it got you in 2008.

You don't have to be important to have your rights trampled on, to be tortured, falsely imprisoned, or executed. Just ask the Uighurs. Just ask Rodney King.
Just ask Abner Louima, the innocent nobody who was tortured and raped by police including having a plunger put up his ass literally. And for what? The police mistakenly identified him for some guy who got in a street fight outside of a nightclub.
If you think you are safe because you are a nobody, you're dumber than you sound. You are not safe because you are a nobody. People who are connected to power and wealth are safe. Nobodies like you and me are not.
Furthermore, more people have died from Stalin and Hitler each than have died from all the criminals and all the terrorists in all of history combined. The power of the state to do evil is far greater than the power of terrorists. You are far more likely to be killed by your own government than by some terrorist.

He's not a decent person. Decent people don't torture and murder. And having a list of U.S. citizens to assassinate without trial is murder, plain and simple. The only reason to deny a person a trial is that the state has no case against him.

Why wait? I've listed plenty of reasons to dislike, even hate, Obama.
I wonder, however, are your reasons going to be important ones, and if so, won't they also apply to the vast majority of Republicans? After all, Obama is more of a Republican than a Democrat in policy. He's more like Bush than he's like Ted Kennedy by far. Hell, he's more like Bush than he's like Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. Hell, he's more like Bush than that guy on SNL who impersonates him.

I'm quite certain that a "decent person" by that standard would never be president.
Even a well intentioned president (or, really, the leader of any country) is going to have to do some pretty vile things. People who always do the right thing rarely make effective leaders.

There's a big difference between "always doing the morally right thing even when it's dangerous" versus "fuck all human rights, I'll kill anyone who looks funny to me". It's a false dichotomy to say either you have to abandon human rights, habeas corpus, and rule of law or you have to let the terrorists will win.
Today is the safest time in all of human existence. You are less likely to be murdered than at any other time in the past 200,000 years. But if you are murdered, it's far more likely to be your government doing the evil deed than a terrorist.
Kevin says
As far as I know, Bill Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower all were presidents without suspending habeas corpus, without torturing, without having lists of U.S. citizens to assassinate. And the cold war was every bit as trying as the war on terror.
We cannot win the war on terror by making our government the biggest terrorist organization in the world.

So your definition of "decent person" seems to be "only kills people and does other horrible things to people who aren't american citizens*"
I wouldn't doubt for even a second that any one of those men (well, maybe not carter, he's kind of a pussy) would have ordered the killing or detention of american citizens had they been viewed as a threat the way that the government currently views organized terrorism.
* And even that also happened. Kent State anyone?
Dan8267 says
We can not "win" the war on terror, period.
We should also not be bringing hyperbole here. What government actions are being done for the sole purpose of frightening people into meeting some demand or changing their way of life?
Governments do appalling things all the time, which is why they must be held accountable, but to act like anything that has happened over the last decade is really new is laughable. From the treatment of native americans, to the civil war, to blacks, to unions, to student protestors, to war protestors, there's plenty of history of our own government doing shitty things.
I firmly believe that any president in office would be doing the same, or worse, than anything that Obama has done. Everyone who has run for the office in the last 10 years has promised to do exactly that.
The only thing that's going to get the government to stop doing these horrible things is for the citizens to stand up and say that it's wrong. When a strong majority of people believe that it's OK to shoot anyone that is identified as a possible terrorist threat, you should be happy that we're at least still respecting the constitution when on american soil.

You pulled that out of your ass, not out of my philosophy. Try again.
My only point is that none of the prior administrations had gone to the extreme level of evil that the current and past one did. Therefore, you are incorrect in concluding that this level of evil is necessary to combat terrorism or ensure national security. Your statement is empirically false.
Any conclusion beyond that is your assertion, not mine.
Kevin says
Kennedy and Eisenhower certainly would not. And as for Carter, not killing innocents hardly makes one a pussy.
Kevin says
Then the Constitution shouldn't be suspended during this period of indefinite war.
Kevin says
Gitmo, the suspension of Habeas Corpus, government stating that assassination of U.S. citizens is legal are all new in American history. So yes, our government has become materially worse in the past 12 years.
Kevin says
And there you are wrong. There are no fewer than 1 million Americans who would have done a better and more ethical job than Obama, and that's an extremely conservative estimate.
Kevin says
Except Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Ralph Nadar. And if people voted for these two instead of all the assholes, there would be more people like them in office. Electing people like Elizabeth Warren and William Black would help a lot too.
Kevin says
And on that, we agree. Well, except that I don't believe "we're" respecting the Constitution on American soil.

I do not hate Lord Barry. Lord Barry is simply the man .... the figure head of the movement/ideals/principality that is against traditional American culture, values and beliefs as found on Leave it to Beaver, Fozie, George Lopez, Karate Kid, Full House, Family Matters and Cosby Show.
I hate evil. The oposite of good. Lord Barry's group, and their supporters, do not agree with me and other conservos on what is evil and what is good.
I am pretty sure we have went over this stuff a few times already. Good and Evil ... right and wrong ... it is from here that the split begins.

Bap,
What has Obama actually done to negate any of those values and beliefs? He's only a president, you know.
I can understand being against Obama: Obamacare seems like another givaway to Big Health Insurance.
As for the economy, I'm not sure what Obama (or any other president) can do to revive an economy suffering from the necessary debt-deleveraging "hangover" that comes after a period of irrational exuberance.
What I think we need is sound money. Ultra low interest rates encourage "yield chasing," excessive risk-taking, and serial bubbles.

@80,
I said Lord Barry is only a man. Where did I place blame for today's situation on him? He is only a representative figure of the "problem" in my estimation.
@thunderlips,
I'm pretty sure Lord Barry's group has taken a position on immigration, God in public, guns, gays, welfare, and issues such as those, that does not match the position of -- lets say, Tea Party people -- for example. And, as in my example, members of Lord Barry's group do not seem to like/agree/embrace the America depicted in those shows I put up. While I think we can all agree that the Tea Party members are depicted in such shows, or at least associate with them in a positive way. I just used some shows that most folks would know, and to save a bunch of time with details and explanations to only have them be thrown out. That may have been a bad medium to choose.
But, to be honest, I am not sure what you are looking for in the way of examples. My original premis may lack the detail to satisfy your question.

he came to power with zero background, as if chosen by some devine power.
his followers allow him free run, giving blind obedience.
those who oppose him or his system are demonized with great effort.
he shows no reverence for the laws of man
his words and actions bring warmth to his followers, while his words and actions bring fear and anger to his opposers.
he operates above any oversight.
I guess I just went with Lord Barry to get used to doing by choice something that will be demanded of us all starting Dec. 21, 2012 - if he wins - and he really might.
If he does win, we might not see another election in America without first having a civil war to reset the nation. Just a hunch.

Bap - You're right on. In fact there is a book called "Surviving Civil War II. Preparing for Economic, Social, and Political Collapse".
It postulates only two possible outcomes: (1) the productive class, for generations to come, resigns themselves to involuntary servitude. Political and economic bondage. Slavery if you will. OR (2) There is a civil war and revolt of the productive class. In other words, an economic default on the requirement and obligation to support the non-productive class.
Whats surprising to me is how a small, bitter, jealous, envious, manipulative, pathologically dependent, highly vocal crowd can sway public opinion and get laws passed that are slowly but surely destroying America. Creeping tyranny.
God bless America, God save America. [Thank God I'm an athiest].

Thunder and wtfker, always throwing stones, criticising and casting dispersions - without ever stating potential solutions. Your problem is that you see big government as the solution to every problem in America.
But wait, if we can only get those evil people who provide jobs and pay their taxes according to the current tax laws to pay "their fair share" then all the problems in America would disappear.
You worship the sociopaths in power, collectively known as Government.
