RESPECT.......

[Joe Ribaudo]

This was 11/11/09, Veteran's Day at Arlington National Cemetery. Everyone is saluting or has their hand over their heart......save one. Perhaps he was thinking about his upcoming trip to Asia, and mulling over how deep he would be taking his subservient bows.

My thanks to David Leach for this enlightening picture.

Least anyone think I am being unfair to our president, here is a picture showing that President Obama understands protocol and respect.....quite well:



President Obama in Russia during the playing of the Russian National Anthem.

Perhaps there are times when he just doesn't realize a picture is being taken. On the other hand, maybe he just has his priorities mixed up.

Joe – I have had it. I do not post frequently at all, but you brought things to a head. Will you please give up on your hateful, political agendas? Obviously you didn’t vote for Obama, which is your choice. I guess you would rather see Sarah Palin in the White House. Your political ignorance is unbelievable. Did you ever make a mistake in pictures etc? What is your military record? And by the way, pick another site to view your political beliefs, even though this site does seem to encourage such. And yes I have served 7 honorable years in the military during the Korean War. Pres. Obama has some extremely difficult decisions to make about the Middle East. His plate is more than full. What would you do? Guess in the long run your prejudice outweighs your common sense. Now stop with the pictures and hateful comments on our President. You are bordering on Treason! Now I am sure this post will set off a bevy of posts from you, so be my guest.

Ronn,

Hope all is well with you, and you are looking forward a great Thanksgiving. We will have 25 family members here over two day of celebration.

Sorry you feel the pictures of President Obama are "hateful". Actually, I feel exactly the same way. This Forum is reserved for political and other less than politically correct posts.

Once again, I would urge you to avoid reading any posts in this Forum, as you seem to find them very disagreeable.

Best wishes for the Holidays, and Merry Christmas!

Take care,

Joe

President Obama in Russia during the playing of the Russian National Anthem.

how gullible can you be????????

1. ruskies dont place their hand on their heart for their national anthem.

2. they were playing the american anthem when that shot was taken.

stop reading that right wing racist arsewipe. it just keeps on making you look like a fool.

[Joe Ribaudo]

lbj,

That's a nice photoshop job of that kiss.

Unlike President Obama, President Bush knew protocol. He was aware that Saudi men kiss each other, as well as visitors, on each side of the face. That is what happened on your altered picture. It's simple to blow up the picture and expose the change that was made.

Here is where they are getting ready to kiss each other on the cheek:



At some point, you will realize that Bush is no longer President. This is about what is going on now, with President Obama.

Should President Bush and the Saudi Prince have been in a closer relationship, such as family, they would have done a nose kiss, which is touching noses.

Thanks for giving me the chance to shed some light on your mistake.

Joe Ribaudo

[lbj]

christ, how brainwashed can you get? thats no photoshop job. compare the 2 photos and its obvious they are not taken on the same occasion. you are overdosed on fox.

you right wing nutters quickly forget your history and thats why you are doomed to repeat it. your lost in 45 and you will loose again. you should learn from the mistakes bush made instead of wiping them from your memory.

[Joe Ribaudo]

lbj,

There is no need to address me as "christ". Joe will be fine. I realize I must seem godlike, to someone like you, but I am a mere mortal.

It was really a simple task to copy your posted picture into my photo program, enlarge it and see the obvious indications of where it was changed from the original. Leaving that aside, why do you believe that President Bush would kiss the Saudi Prince on the lips? Is it your opinion he should have gone for the ultimate greeting and handed the prince a CD?

JOE
YOU FORCE ME TO STAND UP FOR MYSELF. YOU CALLED ME A LIAR (IN SO MANY WORDS), WHEN YOU STATED THAT I THOUGHT THE PICTURES OF OBAMA WERE HATEFUL . DO NOT EVER, EVER MIS QUOTE ME, TURNING IT INTO A LIE. NEVER!
I DID NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM CONSIDER HIS PICTURES HATEFUL. ON THE CONTRARY I VOTED FOR HIM AND I THINK HE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD IN THE HISTORY OF THIS NATION. I SAY AGAIN - I NEVER SAID THE PICTURES WERE HATEFUL. I THINK IT IS HATEFUL OF YOU TO POST SUCH PICTURES AND ADD YOUR OWN NEGATIVE COMMENTS. THINK ABOUT IT! I AM SLOWLY LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE FORUMS.

[Ronne]

JOE - JUST TO CLARIFY THE AIR. I AM QUOTING THE PART OF MY FIRST POST WHERE THE WORD 'HATEFUL' IS USED.
Now stop with the pictures and hateful comments on our Preside I WAS TELLING YOU WHAT I THOUGHT OF YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. YOU WANT TO POST PICTURES THAT ARE NOT COURTEOUS TO OUR PRESIDENT? FINE, BUT DONT ADD YOUR RIDICULOUS COMMENTS TO THE PICTURES. THINK ABOUT IT WILL YOU. ADMIT YOUR ERRORS AND INDISCRETIONS. THAT IS THE INTELLIGENT WAY OF WRITING FOR PUBLICATION.

[Ronne]

JOE - GO AHEAD AND MAKE FUN OF OUR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR 'STRANGE COMMENTS' ABOUT THE PICTURES. SHOWS THAT YOU ARE NOT MAD, YOU JUST WANT TO GET EVEN. AND REMEMBER, IN YOUR PROCESS OF GETTING EVEN DO NOT ACCUSE ME OF CALLING HIS PICTURES HATEFUL.

[Ronne]

JOE - GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT YOU WILL. INSULT, DEGRADE OTHERS, AND WHATEVER OTHER NEGATIVITIES COME TO MIND.
BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I AM QUITTING THIS SITE. AS LONG AS YOU ACT AS HOLIER THAN THOU I CAN SEE NO REASONABLE EXPLANATION BEHIND YOUR ACTIONS OTHER THAN EGO. AND THAT I WILL NOT BE A PART OF.
BYE EVERYONE - I SHALL MISS ALL OF THE GOOD PEOPLE ON THIS SITE THAT HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH PICTURES AND HISTORY OF THE LDM, WHICH IS THE REASON I JOINED THIS SITE TO BEGIN WITH. (GOOD RIDDANCE TO ME, HUH?)
OH ONE MORE THING JOE IN CASE YOUR MEMORY IS SHORT. I DID NOT CALL THE PICTURES OF PRESIDENT OBAMA HATEFUL. THINK ABOUT IT.
BYE ALL

[lbj]

oh god, joe. there is no way i would mistake you for christ. you are a right wing christian conservative. christ was a left wing jew. christ's sermon on the mount was the first commmunist manifesto. trust me. nobody could mistake you for christ - you have nothing in common with him.

on the other hand i could easily mistake you for the pope. both of you think you are infallible.

post the evidence that you found with photoshop proving my photo was doctored.

as far as bush and the prince - i couldnt give a fuck if he even french kissed him. i am more concerned that bush destroyed the american economy.

[SGnAZ]

I THINK HE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD IN THE HISTORY OF THIS NATION.

You have got to be kidding

[pippinwhitepaws]

so here it is...the racists corner.

hey at least obama hasn't begun a two front war like the last administration.
and what was gw's comment on how he was going to end these wars?
" not my problem..thats the next guys problem..."

after 8 years of bush and company.
a two front mistake...
sending an entire army into the graveyard of armies...to find 19 dead men who are said to have committed a terrorist act. no proof, just knee jerk reaction from the radical right.
billions wasted by the bush administration...nearly a trillion dollar bail out by bush and friends...now blamed on obama.
torture, rape, murder...family values to punks like you huh?
but wait...murder torture and rape are far better than a black president huh?

pip,

You seem obsessed with the fact that President Obama has black skin. No one else has made an issue of that fact.......just you. I would say that makes you the raciest. Just for the record, President Obama is just as much a Caucasian (white) as he is African American.

For a "genius" you are not very bright. Each time you post here you just enforce that fact.

Joe Ribaudo

[lbj]

oh god, joe. the body temperature iq tea baggers are obsessed with obamas skin color. unfortunately they are a bunch of chickenshits and try to hide the truth, from themselves and us, under a white sheet of hate for all liberals. they should go burn some crosses and get it out of their system. america is no longer a white christian nation no matter how tightly the rednecked tea baggers shut their eyes.

[Joe Ribaudo]

lbj,

"america is no longer a white christian nation"

Do you have some kind of evidence for that statement?

Joe Ribaudo

[lbj]

oh joe! my god, you missed a key point in my post..the one about keeping your eyes closed. open your eyes and ears and you have all the evidence you need to see that the tea baggers (the latest pc word for birchers, kkkers, and neonazis) are a minority. sure, they have big mouths and like to shout but thats the extent of their influence and power. the universal health care bill passed the first vote and it will pass them all. if you dont see the changing face and voice of america you are truly bilnd my friend.

we are taking over and there is nothing you can do to stop us. vive la révolution!

[Joe Ribaudo]

lbj,

"we are taking over and there is nothing you can do to stop us. vive la révolution!"

Could you define "we" for me?

["america is no longer a white christian nation"

Do you have some kind of evidence for that statement?]

I assume, from your reply, that you have no evidence.

Joe Ribaudo

[lbj]

dear joe, we are the left wing liberals - the socialists or if you prefer the pinko commies - we are the people that live according to the sermon on the mount. i though that was obvious. as far a proof that america is no longer a white christian nation look at any demographic stats. hell even murdox's fixed news is bemoaning the fact that non wasps are taking over america. wake up and smell the coffee my friend, capitalism and nationalism are gasping their last breath.

dont worry, we will let you have your religion, your guns, and your prejudices. you just wont be able to force them on the rest of us.

[Joe Ribaudo]

lbj,

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that white Christians are a minority in this country today. Is that right?

"we are the left wing liberals - the socialists or if you prefer the pinko commies

That comment is a little confusing. Are you a socialist, or a communist.....or are you unsure? If you are mistaken, and white Christians are in the majority in America, I must assume you would come down on the side of communism. If they are a majority, how will "we" deal with that reality? What would YOU suggest be done with these people? As a communist, I believe I know what course would be taken, but would like to hear if from someone who carries the card.

Joe Ribaudo

[pippinwhitepaws]

how amusing..
once again punkassjoey avoids the topic, and pretends he is plato..or a 7th grade english teacher...
stuck on the 8th grade debate team...

you need medical intervention...seriously.

[lbj]

joe, the "we" is not the royal "we" therefor i thought it was obvious that it refers to a wide range of left wing liberals. we are not purists like the tea baggers. we have room for different points of view in the left wing specturm. i place myself on the extreme left - far to the left of commies - a nihilist.

i am not mistaken about the white christians being outnumbered. but in answer to you question, if i were mistaken, we would not do anything substantially different than we have done up to now. we would use the same methods that we used to get us here. education, literature, science, music, movies, news, the internet and above all give the right wing capitalists enough rope to hang themselves. i cannot overstress the importance of giving enough rope to the capitalists because with it they done most of the work for us.

there is no need for the rank and file tea baggers to worry. they can shout all they want, keep their guns and their religion. they just wont be able to force that shit on the rest of us. no prayer in school, no god in allegiance, no "in god we trust" in government and no morality dictated by the government.
