Where were these folks in the last 8 years?

Where Democrats the party of “Yes” during those 8 years. Did they accept the election of George Bush without complaint? Did the stay quite for 8 years allowing Republicans to push through their agenda unmolested?

Are there any hypocrites in this room?

White entitled man? Spoken by someone blinded by his aching desire for socialism who sees his dreams go down the drain. Karl Marx would have been proud of davinci.

“It shows a disdain for democracy”

So expressing one’s opinion is disdain of democracy? Laughable!

“and and ignorance of the process”

Arrogance at its best.

“which breeds disaster for us during hard economic times.”

No sir. The disaster is what your party has been concocting all year. And the people of this country are seeing it plain and clear.

“They are bullies who demonstrate on tax-paid for property with tax salaried employees (Republicans usually), using tax funded security services driving on tax funded roads and highways seeking power through ugly provocative language and complaint. That is not a solution I admire.”

In other words, davinci, you oppose peaceful demonstrations by anyone who disagrees with your left wing philosophy. Fair enough.

Just when I thought I had read it all from you I thought nothing could top what you stated in #5, but alas you went completely off the deep end in #11. With all of your arrogance and so called knowledge and wisdom, how do you twist the grass roots conservative movement into something comparable to the NAZI Party and Brownshirts? You have no doubt completely lost your mind and if not that you are so bitter at the conservative movement and full of emotion that you have to resort to this?

Great example to use with Hamas and the Gaza strip. Who in their right mind would accept anything having to do with Hamas since they are terrorists? No wonder the complete failure of a president Jimmy Carter loves Hamas so much. No wonder he loves Obama too. They have a lot in common already, they are only one term presidents because the people see them for what they are, buffoons.

How can you possibly make a comparison of all this to the NAZI Party? What a fool you are. The conservative movement is about taking the federal government and putting back in the hands of the people as the founding fathers wanted in the first place. It is about making the government stick to the enumerated powers as given in the constitution thus allowing us to make our own free choices. How is guaranteeing freedom and liberty comparable to being a NAZI or a Brownshirt? I can’t wait for your explanation and to see what twisted thinking you have for the answer to that.

Oh wait how soon I forget, according to you, your leftist ideology, and your unfaltered wisdom like Pelosi and Reid, I am not smart enough to know what is best for me. I am better off being a sheep. What am I thinking challenging that? But wait, the constitution last time I checked guaranteed my individual rights and freedoms to make my own choices even if they are not the best choices. This has nothing to with power, but I can see why you would see it that way because power is everything to you and freedom is nothing. This is about FREEDOM! No one has to try and erode the confidence in government at all. This has already been done by the greedy, corrupt politicians, democrats and republicans both. A perfect example of this is ACORN. Why did it take two young adults with a video camera to take down this corrupt organization? Why couldn’t Eric Holder and the FBI do this as they had plenty of leads to go on to do so themselves? Oh wait, wait! I forgot, Obama worked for ACORN and they helped to elect him with all the election fraud, silly me. No wonder Holder had hands off ACORN. This kind of corruption as I see it lends itself more to your idea of a NAZI Party.

The previous administration is just that, the previous one and they are no longer in power so if you are so much about change why do you keep drudging up the past. Why not get with Obama’s program and help him “change” things? I will say it again for the likes of you and davinci from a famous movie quote - “The time for honoring yourselves will soon be at an end!” Go stick your heads back in the sand where they belong.

#3, you seem to be afraid change will result in communism. unlikely, although it is a move towards democratic socialism. are not social security, the veterans administration, and medicare social programs? should they be eliminated because they may lead to communism? what happens as more of us are crowded on to this continent? on to this planet? do we become more social or do we continue to fight wars over resources and ideologies?

Even while acquiring my degrees, I felt archaeology should really be a part of Paleontology or some other science. As to the diversity argument, the college is deluged with diversity classes of one type or another. Also, it’s not like one couldn’t get background on the Utes elsewhere in the cirriculum.

Orpheus pointed that one can still take anthropology or archaeology classes.

One lesson is that if Democrats did more to turn out their base, they might avoid this. Another lesson, from NY23, is that if the tea baggers take over the GOP primaries, they will do the Dems work for them–as they did in upstate NY, taking a seat that has been represented by Republicans since 1872.
