What a accomplished man

@Manchac7 Those freeloaders are called poor people.Its people like you that create

this type of atmosphere. If you don't want poor ppl join a communist nation.At least know the country you are in and the type of government it runs before you judge

If you learn what government is and the theory of government you will realize that its those poor people that gives you the notion that you are so superior.

When you know nothing about government in the first place how can YOU judge?

You are drunk

@Manchac7 The reason why I completely ignored Obama's church affiliation is because I knew that was some garbage to begin with. This nation legalized Jim Crow for over 200 yrs in the name of God. Who pastored that shit ? And what human really honors their pastor like that anyways? That was just some garbage tactic by the same children of Satan who made divisions amongst creation in the first place.

NO I don't give way to the games that the devils play Obama has to speak for himself.

@ColdGripHandle If Obama isn't Marxist, then he's incredibly stupid judging by by his policies. All societies have freeloaders who want government to give them money instead of having to work for it. Greece is a perfect example of what happens when they become the voting majority.

@ColdGripHandle You completely ignored the fact that Obama sat in a church for 20 years and lsitened to a racist preacher. I'd like to know how that makes me a racist other than the fact that you are incapable of logical thnking. As for political definitions, how would you define someone who attacks the private sector while expanding the public sector? Socialist? Marxist? Progressive? They are all shades of the same animal.

@Manchac7 You say "I vote for a person based on their character and record on promoting individual liberty, not because I think they will "give" me something."

Look at here dude There isn't anything you do in life that you want nothing in return You even said you want the promotion of liberty LOL

Who care what criterion u use in voting? You are mad because u want to be able to control how people vote. Our judgement is bette than yours cuz u a racist

You have power over nobody except your vote

[ColdGripHandle]

@Manchac7 You sound retarded. LOL . Marxist? you conjure up fancy little terms as a cover for your backward racist heart

You say " I don't know you" but yet you know Obama so personally that you know he is a Marxist and has a racist Pastor. haha

I guess you are a tyrant that you want to dictate to people how they should vote? You have no authority on how anyone votes but yourself.

Take the beam out of your own eye

Why vote if anyways if you expect nothing? LOL You can't get that without voting

[Manchac7]

@ColdGripHandle You are an moron who knows nothing about me. I didn't sit in a church for 20 years listening to a racist preacher who falsely portrays himself as a "Christian" minister. Marxists are evil because they steal from individuals what they have earned with their talent, initiative, and labor.

PS I vote for a person based on their character and record on promoting individual liberty, not because I think they will "give" me something.

[ColdGripHandle]

@Manchac7 I wonder who's more evil, an alleged Afro Marxist as you accused this guy or an obvious racist such as yourself.

Even if he was a Marxist I think a Marxist is more honorable than a racist.

[ColdGripHandle]

Black Chancellor of Germany ... LOL .He said that with a straight face.
