Warning:Frustrated about Politics and stupid people.
Is it just me or are the stupid people winning the race? I am getting so frustrated at the way our potential President wanna-bes are acting.
First we actually have a president that thinks oral sex is not sex. And to be honest he doesn't even know what sex is. Apparently Hilary must have been in bed alone when she concieved their daughter.

Now we have a canidate for President not placing his hand over the heart while saying the pledge. Or even wearing a flag lapel pin. I mean "hello, here is the news flash in case you missed it" you are running for President of the United States.

What gets me the most is they are suppose to be examples that we strive to believe in and should have moral fiber. My brother is willing to die for that flag and this country they are wanting to lead. Even for the "stupid" people to be stupid.
So anyone else have a problem with all this crap that they are pushing on us?

I have been suffering for 6 years with stupid people making what I personally believe to be stupid, unjust decisions. Just because you place your hand over your heart does not mean you truly love our country and it is still our country. I hope that message will be made loud and clear in the next election.

Um...no one is "facing the flag" in the pic tx supplied!
And really...what does a hand over the heart say but...I did it school and I am compelled to do it now!
In the words of Forrest Gump's momma, "Stupid is as stupid does."
P.S. Could anyone find out if Mark Finkelstein (the reporter) is a republican? Just curious!!!!!

jseal, this is not a shot at Islam, but:-
Indonesian group rallies for world Islamic rule
Posted Mon Aug 13, 2007 0:27am AEST
Updated Mon Aug 13, 2007 0:35am AEST
The Hizbut Tahrir group has heard speeches calling for global Islamic rule. (Reuters)
More than 70,000 members of a Muslim group have held a rally in Indonesia calling for a caliphate - or Islamic rule - to govern the world.
The supporters of the Hizbut Tahrir group filled up most of an 80,000-seat sports stadium in the capital Jakarta, waving flags as they heard speeches saying it was "time for the caliphate to reign".
The meeting was held as part of "civic education" for Indonesian Muslims, Hizbut Tahrir spokesman Muhammad Ismail Yusanto said.
The organisation advocates Islamic rule and is banned in several Middle Eastern countries.
Supporters travelled to the stadium in convoys of buses from other parts of Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.
Local and foreign speakers were invited to give speeches.
But Mr Yusanto said that two inivtees, Imran Waheed from England and Syeik Ismail Al Wahwah from Australia, had been denied entry and deported from Indonesia on Friday.
"The organising committee deplores the deportation because they came to Indonesia at the invitation of the Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia to give their good advice for the progress of Islam, for the progress of this country," he said.
The hardline Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir declined to appear at the event, without giving a reason.
But Yusanto said that police had advised Bashir and another hardline cleric, Habieb Rizieq, not to attend the conference.
The senior Muslim figure Dien Syamsuddin was among the key speakers to address the crowd. He is the chairman of Indonesia's second largest Islamic movement, the Muhammadiyah.
"Islam's progress or regress depends entirely on Muslims themselves," he told the crowd.
He said that "the essence" of a caliphate was that Muslims be united and that therefore Indonesian Muslims should safeguard the unity of their country.
But popular Muslim preacher Abdullah Gymanstiar said Muslims in Indonesia were still divided over Sharia law.
"Why do some Muslims not agree with the Islamic Sharia, even though it is for the own good of Muslims?" he said.
Security did not appear tight for the conference, with police limiting their role to directing traffic.
The rally ended with a prayer and the participants left the venue peacefully, but caused massive traffic jams as they departed.
And we worried about the Russians.

the stupidity and absurdity don't drive me nearly as crazy as the shifty, underhanded behavior.

Oldfart,
No problemo sir! To suggest that this group has no extremists as members is to ignore the premeditated murders in New York and Bali, to name but two places among many. Not too many people are into denial on such a grand scale!
It just goes to show for the N+1 time that extremism of whatever stripe - racism, scientific, religious, political, or historical - sooner or later comes to a bad – sometime very bad indeed – end.

Your two links seem to direct us to some pretty conservative web sites,with people who love to make issues over flag pins and calling those who choose not to wear one "America Haters" what ever that means. I am at a loss to what you are calling stupid crap. As a Texan,who would you support?Or have we already suffered six years with that choice?

The second link is to a website that appears ready to smear democrats in any way shape or form. Is it really that big of a deal if a candidate isn't wearing a lapel pin of a flag? Really?? I do wonder about where Obama places his hand during the National Anthem though. While people should be free to sit, stand, remain silent, sing their hearts out, fold their hands, or place one hand over their heart I believe that someone seeking this country's highest office should want to demonstrate their reverence to our anthem.

I suspect that by now the handlers of the Senator for Illinois have reminded him of this.
