ColbyDog's Blog

Mr. ColbyDog:

You clearly don't like McCain. I also have issues with him, but, I am sure for dramatically different reasons.

So what is your take on the recent statments by the Reverend Wright, Obama's Pastor? Is the "Mainstream Corporate Media" as you call it, at this point beating up unduly on Obama and his Pastor?

you also stated: the media has a liberal bias... as seen through its radical right wing agenda!

You have GOT to be kidding??? That statement in and of itself shows you to be likely be of a mindset so far to the left that it is difficult to grant anything you say with any degree of intellectual credibility.

secondly, in defense of both ministers, in case you've never been to a house of worship... the sermon is a time when the speaker is given to motivate, stir and otherwise challenge the congregation. If you stoop to the loathsome and unethical practices of the propaganda ministers on "liberal" TV, you can take gandhi, the pope, buddha and christ himself and spin them into terrorists.

So tell me, is this how you demonstrate your intellectual prowess??? By listening to the VIEWS of NEOCONS and regurgitating them as if they were gospel?

Who's the real minister of propaganda here? Listen to Obama's words... all of them... in order. Then speak to me with your dose of truth, cuz right now all I read is propaganda turned into fear and hate.

you do this blog well with your thoughtful discussions...

Your conclusions here while concise and well formulated, echo the fear-based propaganda that has droned from our "liberal" media for seven years-and what has it gotten us?

I know you mean well and have looked hard at the issues, but am afraid, you look with eyes and ears that have only heard Islamic Fascism, Capitalism means less government, obama is shallow, problems caused by our actions...

If you are truly to participate in the political process, you need to question authority... not just the government, but where does authority exist in your framework of thinking? Who carries authority these days? Mainstream Media no longer provides news... they provide topics and give you their views... how is this not like propaganda. Yesterday on FOX the station was all abuzz about the breaking news of Obama giving a short speech before taking off to St Thomas with his family for easter... after much hype, the Senator began his speech... no sooner than the first sound bite they could capture that fed their views was uttered, and they cut the sound and began with their comments and spin. Meanwhile he's onscreen right behind them telling the people more about his background and ambitions.... the very stuff these spinsters tell us he withholds.... not what I call news.

But this is corporate-run media... so its no wonder most Americans -even when they try to do due diligence, still come up echoing views rather than discussing the news.

Mr. Ifilus, Mr. Colbydog:

This is Mr. Obama's complete Foreign Policy plan as stated on his website:

BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN TO SECURE AMERICA AND RESTORE OUR STANDING
“When I am this party's nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don't like. And he will not be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether or not it is ok for America to torture — because it is never ok… I will end the war in Iraq… I will close Guantanamo. I will restore habeas corpus. I will finish the fight against Al Qaeda. And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. And I will send once more a message to those yearning faces beyond our shores that says, "You matter to us. Your future is our future. And our moment is now.”

I must correct myself:

I did not copy and paste the entire plan with more details as it all won't fit into one of these posting:

The complete website is:

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/

I haved read through the entire plan, and have not found one direct, or indirect reference of, or to Islamic Fascism.

If anybody out there does, please advise as I will be happy to be corrected.

Thanks!

Mr. Ifilus,

Where's your sense of humor??????

I feel wonderful knowing that Mr. Obama cares not just for Americans, but for all the citizens of the world and that he would enage in a foreign policy aimed at taking care of as many people on the shores of far away lands as possible. Heck, I feel like sing KUM BY YA right know. Don't you??

In case you all didn't read about it, during a segment on Good Morning America, Cheney flatly told White House correspondent Martha Raddatz that he doesn’t care about the American public’s views on the war:

CHENEY: On the security front, I think there’s a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That’s been a major success.

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.

This opposition to the war is not a “fluctuation” in public opinion. The American public has steadily turned against the war since the 2003 invasion. According to a new CNN poll, just 36 percent of the American public believes that “the situation in Iraq was worth going to war over — down from 68 percent in March 2003, when the war began.

McCain can barely speak and when he does he sounds like an old man on valium.
Hence, the reason he needs Leiberman around to correct him when he "misspeaks".
I do admire him for being a P.O.W. and making it back home, but the man is past his prime and not leadership material.
Of course, neither is Bush.

Hello adoseoftruth,

Amazing how we all have different truths. I am neither Democrat nor Republican. I believe both parties have the same agenda and it has nothing to do with what the people really want. I believe it has been a long, long time since the politicians have run the government as it was meant to be.
This "war" can not be compared to WWII, or WWI for that matter. Hitler gave the world reason enough to stop him. He was obviously a dictator intent on taking over the world. I would never argue Hitler had to be stopped.
This war is over oil and control of a region. Our soldiers are dying for oil and control. To me, those are not valid reasons to die. To me, this war has nothing to do with protecting America or any other country for that matter.
You wouldn't like my opinions.
You wouldn't agree with what I believe is going on in our government.
Thank you for your opinions though and no need to welcome me to this blog. I've been on here since 2006.
So, welcome to you and I look forward to reading more of your opinions.

"...do what is in the best interests of this country"

Can you honestly say that with a straight face Dose?

Dose, you must be a conservative cuz you seem to be conserving
intelligent thought as if it were a scarce resource.

Go on, use it like is was gas in your SUV... there's plenty to go around.

Its not something we're going to war to protect... quit abstaining from using your head
-like a vegan abstaining from meat.

Try it, you might find the added pleasure of imagination and creativity
enter into your narrow patriotic perspective!
