On the subject of censorship. It shouldnt exist. Truth is everything. the positive AND the negative should both be present other wise there is no balance. Even the knobs leaving nasty messages should be left alone. We are here to experience the duality of this existence or else we wont learn.

I don't agree with his choice of Rahm Emanuel and I accepted a long time ago that there would be no way that he would be a messiah or perfect candidate.
What I (and others) are merely hoping for is for him to work to destroy the system (PTB) from within. If he cannot do this, then it just means that I (and probably others) will not vote ever again. I am ready to criticize as well and I participate in at least one website where others worked hard to elect Obama. I will not deny this. There are literally millions of Americans like myself who are going to be watching Obama and every move he makes. And, you'd better believe that we will hold his feet to the fire like any other politician. To me, Obama is the puppet of those who worked to donate to him (in small amounts) with hopes and dreams of their own.
I don't know how old the folks that dislike Obama are, but I am not yet at an age where I'd be cranky, bitter and constantly railing against a system that I felt failed me. I am still quite young (27) and you can call me all kinds of names. I'm sure someone called you all kinds of names when you were my age and surely, you must have been just as optimistic as I am. Don't lie to me and tell me that you've always been the way you were. I'm sure 40 years of Republican control have put a huge damper on your spirits.
What you must understand is that there is a generation that refuses to accept defeat like you did.
I refuse to be truly broken. I refuse to accept defeat and "go home". We all can work together to defeat any menace that we wish. What we must do first is learn to respect each other and I can see that this isn't possible with some people. The "sheep" analogy is a good example of just how you can turn people off to your message forever and create nothing but dissension.
And while we're at it, how come no one challenges Ron Paul the way they challenge Barack Obama? How about all of the Paul supporters on here who openly praise the man for being a good soul? I dare you to tell me why I should support Ron Paul over Barack Obama and I dare you to justify your support and respect for him in the same way that you justify your dislike of Barack Obama.
Regardless, Obama is not a messiah but I refuse to believe that he's the anti-christ as well.
