You aren't making sense. But perhaps you weren't trying to?

I took it as a joke...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

After consulting the poster's previous history on SFN; I considered it a joke.
Indeed; he was smart and articulate in this other post and, either the encephalectomy team got to him in the meantime, this post is not worded as smartly enough to compare.

And we can be certain of that because communism has triumphed at every opportunity it was attempted. Very soon, with the help of the Beloved Leader barry hussein soetoro, the USA will be as successful as Cuba.



But, just in case, my standard response:

-I know many people that could argue quite convincingly that communist was actually never attempted.

-I am not sure where you are trying to call Barack Obama that way. He like the name Barack better than Barry; he was never adopted by Lolo Soetoro an;d had no reason to take his name and, while; like most Americans; he is not commonly using his middle name, there is no shame in being called 'Hussein' a very common name in Arabic or Muslim influenced culture including Christian ones such as Kenya.
You extremely strange choice for the name suggest that you are the kind of bigoted assholes that'd view the belonging to a different ethnic or religious group as detrimental. If that is the case, please allow me to say: 'Go fuck yourself dickhead', if that was not the case, please discard the previous statement.

-Yes, Barrack his rather beloved by people in the US and all around the world. That is a GOOD thing, by the way.

-Cuba is not, actually, doing that bad. Considering that it always was a third world country with minimum ressources and considering the decades long embargo of the Us, the fact that they are not doing so bad, even surpassing the ultra-rich United States in a couple of way (education level or health-care) really is impressive and illustrate that even such a corrupt and despotic government as Cuba can get it right from time to time.


Ps; I really hope that it is joke, but one can never underestimate the amount of close-mindedness and bile and misinformation floating around.


*Edited: after checking Mr Banner past posting history that suggest it to be a joke rather than just biliary trolling*

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Within a year or two, I believe the Obama administration will have accomplished some notable progress in steering the ship of state back on to a sensible and successful course. As this becomes more and more evident, the rancid ravings of Limbaugh will begin to appear utterly irrelevant to a very large majority of the electorate and his audience will shrink to the small minority of crazies that constitute the radical right wingnuts.

Clear Channel's advertising revenues will drop and Limbaugh and the Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, etc. wannabes will incresingly diminish in influencing any but the terminally politically insane.

I think that Rush and his ilk's day has come and gone!

Wow, what a non-sequitur...

I didn't connect "barry hussein soetoro" as the President elect.
Now I can clearly see that you were making a joke.

He was making a far-rightwing pseudo-joke. Briefly Googling the poster's name reveals some participation in far-rightwing websites. Here just trolling along.
One for the "ignore" list or as an occasional supplement to the irrational.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.
