The people who really understood what was going on got their money out as soon as Obama won the Democratic primary. That was the beginning of this whole mess.-petunia on March 2, 2009 at 5:43 PM

All the money I could take out was out by the end of June, 2008. I told others to do so-some listened, some did not.

Here is an article folks might wish to read.

David Brooks wakes up and smells the Kool-Aid while “Republicans for Obama” remain as clueless as ever…

There is a lot posted on righty blogs already (like at Ace, Michelle, and HotAir) about NYT columnist David Brooks’s all-too-predictable lament that he was hoodwinked by Obama the moderate during the campaign only to find the country run by Obama…

If this is what the American people want, so be it,

How could Buckley even entertain this being acceptable?

JadeNYU on March 2, 2009 at 7:51 PM

How could he even entertain that it’s in anyway accurate? Obama lied about his intentions and obscured any and all revealing information about him, and the abundant and obvious clues to his agenda seen during his campaign were trivialized or characterized as racist by the media and his minions (but I repeat myself).

This isn’t what the American people want, you idiot. Obama’s 53 million were as foolish and gullible as you were (are) when they cast their votes for him. It was a willing, even eager, suspension of disbelief. I thought you Ivy-league ivory-tower assholes were supposed to be smarter than the rest of us.

How could Buckley even entertain this being acceptable?

That money doesn’t belong to “America” it belongs to individual Americans.

If 9 of Buckley’s neighbors get together and decide that they want his money, would he say “So be it” and hand it over? Or would he tell them to take a long walk off a short pier?

The principal is the same even when you zoom out to a national level. People have no right to vote themselves more of our money (and, worse yet, our children’s and grandchildren’s money).

This whole situation is garbage.

JadeNYU on March 2, 2009 at 7:51 PM

Yep, just about the point at which I thrown off the ‘cattle truck’ and doing four count pushups with a full ruck sack on top of some poor guy with some other idiots feet on top of me and a drill sergeant/ranger/jumpmaster threatening to tear my head off and @#$% down my throat.

Good times

Why, Mr. Buckley, you did let the door hit you on the way out… left your good sense on the door handle, too. Could you please wipe that off and throw it away as your body obviously has no use for it? Perhaps you might try finding some common sense, I hear that Paine is the best remedy when you lose your senses.
