He's not even president yet. So shut up.
He's not even president yet. So shut up.

He's got 103% approval rating. So shut up.

He's not actually implementing the policies you fear. So shut up.

He's going to do a lot of good things. So shut up.

He's trying to bring all Americans together in respect and harmony. So shut up.

He ran as a moderate. So shut up.

He never said "Change" meant doing things your way on your pet issue. So shut up.

Obviously you would have been worse off if McCain had won. So you have no right to complain.

Obama is going to restore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights: balance of powers, checks and balances, no unitary executive, diplomacy before war, due process of law, judicial review of search warrants, fighting against terrorist networks instead of fighting for oil companies, honoring our treaty obligations, and of course freedom of speech.

That's right, freedom of speech, you big whiner. So shut up.

1. My rw uncle, watching the Watergate hearings:
"This is the ONLY country in the WORLD where you could have this discussion. So don't you EVER criticize this country!"

13. I think Skinner should write a book of "best shut up posts to a discussion board".
It's like telling people to stop playing with balls at a bowling alley or not to get their shoes dirty. lol

2. lovely divisive thread. What's so amusing is that you're telling people to shut up
please actually link to these threads that tell people to shut up. Have fun digging for all of them.

And do try and figure out what freedom of speech is. Someone telling you to shut up does not deprive of you of it.

11. I'm reading this in the "Julian, king-of-the-Madagascar-lemurs" voice.
Maurice: What if Mr. Alex is even worse then the Foosa? I'm tellin' you, that dude just gives me the heebiedabajeebies!
Julian: Maurice, you did not raise your hand. Therefore, your heinous comment will be stricken from the record. Does anyone else have the heebie-jeebies for Mr. Alex? No? Good. So shut up.


I'm lightening up. It's Christmas.

24. Up to our butts in snow here.
And, my truck's in a ditch because of it.

But, what the hell, it's still a Merry Xmas.

I'll be watching for your posts in the New Year and we can enjoy the promised "Change".

43. You do realize, I assume
That there's a tiny bit of a contradiction between saying that Obama will bolster freedom of speech, and then demanding that we shut up, correct?

45. Are you willing to swear your soul that the following will occur
as it was before?

"Obama is going to restore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights: balance of powers, checks and balances, no unitary executive, diplomacy before war, due process of law, judicial review of search warrants, fighting against terrorist networks instead of fighting for oil companies, honoring our treaty obligations, and of course freedom of speech."

I'm not saying he won't but not all elected Democrats are willing to go back.
