Bill OReilly had a segment last night where spring breakers in SOBE were asked a variety of questions regarding Obama, politics, etc. It's a no wonder the Pentagon determined that 75% of today's high school graduates are ineligible for military service. All these dumb phacks are now in college, thanks to open admission policies.
I have to add that I remember a time where the military was the refuge for many petty criminals who were given a choice by judges to either join the Army or go to jail (and the majority of this group did quite well for themselves), and a place to go for a job when no one would hire an academically deficient individual, or one who didn't qualify for admission to college. My have the times changed...today, petty crime and poor academic achievement makes you ineligible for military service, and about the only thing this group qualifies for now is either a college admission of their choice, with loan guarantees up the ying yang, or a career in politics. I suppose this is what hope and change, the nanny state, and free everything is all about. Those who chose to work, play, and study hard are now tasked with footing the bill for this culture of the entitled and the dependent.Last edited by alnamvet68; 03-22-12 at 01:48 PM.

I agree. An early poster posited that this is how Obama got elected, as if his election was due to people who don't think logically and don't understand basic mathematical concepts.
We (collectively, but present company excluded
) don't vote logically regardless of the candidate or office.03-26-12 10:45 AM - It may have something to do with how and why obama got elected. Let's take Samuel Jackson, actor extraordinaire, when asked why he voted for obama, and he basically said that it was because he was black...that most black people, if not nearly all, voted for obama because of his color. He went on to say he really didn't give a rat's azz about his politics, it was his color that was important, and that's what's important to the black community at large. I would say that this reason for voting for a particular candidate solely based on his or her racial makeup is most illogical, at best. As to the grasping of mathematical concepts, failure to vote logically without regard to race, color, creed, or religion renders this group mathematically impaired.I agree.

So yes, what another poster said makes mathematically logical sense to me.03-26-12 11:14 AM - I would contend that no one intelligent thought that he actually was the opposite of the big spending that Bush did or the craziness that is McCain, although he certainly was the opposite of his campaign promises (as the intelligent people rightly suspected).
That being said, political discourse isn't generally permitted on CrackBerry, even in OTD, so I'm going to report my thread just to be sure the mods can clean this thread up if they so choose.03-26-12 02:44 PM - I feel that black people voting for Obama based on race is similar to voting based on party, and similar to many other reasons people vote for, or don't vote for, people; Looks, name, home town, etc...It may have something to do with how and why obama got elected.

Blindly punching R or D is no better than voting based on race. I don't feel there's enough of voting for people because we sat down and reviewed all their views and feel they are the best fit for our beliefs.03-27-12 05:11 AM
