The world hasn't been laughing at America - just George W Bush, peopole in his party and the people who voted for him. I know to Republicans freedom of speech is ok just so long as you agree with them, but here's some news - you don't get to tell anyone how to run their blogs and you don't get to control what they say. Now I know this might be a difficult concept for you to grasp but you and yours to grasp but you screwed up and you lost - live with it.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work Babooshka and ignore anyone who tries to destroy freedom of speech.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600056022316943149.post-62201294888132762282008-11-10T22:49:00.000+00:002008-11-10T22:49:00.000+00:00gOOD ON yOU, bABOOSHKA!You stand up for yourself, ...gOOD ON yOU, bABOOSHKA!<BR/>You stand up for yourself, as the second "annonymous" didCloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600056022316943149.post-54906732436589777102008-11-10T17:14:00.000+00:002008-11-10T17:14:00.000+00:00I am at liberty, as I too live in a democracy, to ...I am at liberty, as I too live in a democracy, to take "my Isle Of Man" pics and discuss politics.

I'm a southerner, and most people in my state of Tennessee are staunch conservatives and Mccain supporters, so my opinion was not a popular one!<BR/><BR/>Like you, I got choked up when the cameras showed Jesse Jackson weeping, and all the other people crying with joy and excitement. <BR/><BR/>Your reaction to Obama's victory is so amazing to me; I've never seen a candidate's victory cause so much celebration, not just in America, but all over the world. <BR/><BR/>People were literally dancing in the streets in jubilation, and I know Obama will mend those broken fences with the rest of the world, and that's not an easy task after Bush's foreign policies have made America into nothing more than a bully.<BR/><BR/>Conversely, his victory has also opened the floodgates for ignorant vitriolic hate to come pouring out of conservative nut-jobs everywhere: the usual accusations of Obama being a socialist and communist, and I actually heard one person say he was afraid black people would now begin the process of taking over the world.<BR/><BR/>But most of us are happy; I think he will be a great president, but God knows, he has the unenviable task of cleaning up after the republican administration's galactic mess of a deficit, a war, and a shattered and bleak economy.<BR/><BR/>But I think he's up to the challenge!<BR/><BR/>Miranda G.<BR/>Knoxville,TNmirandagreene.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286653136820163334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600056022316943149.post-51901865394725772182008-11-10T00:18:00.000+00:002008-11-10T00:18:00.000+00:00Real brave to throw rocks from behind a wall, anno...Real brave to throw rocks from behind a wall, annonymous!<BR/>And no, I won't leave MY identity so you can call me names too.

The great thing about our government is the balance of power that forbids one man from screwing things up on his own. Do some research into Nancy Pelosi before you point the finger at the GOP and Bush. Many of these comments are offensive and ignorant, and 6 months from now when anyone with a job is being taxed and cheated in the name of wealth spreading and welfare, i will be here to say i told you so. Just remember the words of Thomas Jefferson who said "a government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have." <BR/>There are still conservatives in America, and who are tired of being subjected to constant ridicule and vicious criticism from the Left who preaches tolerance and political correctness.
