that statement is rediculous...If you base thoughts like that over interweb chat..Your obviously out of touch..
These men here are the most vocal I've heard. Where do we look for leaders?

Not only are they parasites, but these parasites cannot fend for themselves, nor think for themselves.
In a state of anarchy, just how long can a human sustain itself without food? Without means of defense? Without water? Without the ability to do for themselves?
You take care of them. Those of us who actually produce are getting mighty weary of their free ride.
It's almost over.

There's going to be a single event that acts as a catalyst, and then things will be going tits up. Anything, and I mean anything that happens to Obama, and POOF!

In fact if this scenario happens then you can kiss your hope of a return to Constitutional freedoms goodby and bow down to Fascism that will be the end of America.

Thank you, SG. That was a very enlightening post. Right before my very eyes, I watched your imaginary ranks swell from a simple 'majority' to a 'vast majority' to 'the american people in its whole'.
Now you've relegated all the rest of us, by default, to 'the minority fringe',
Does that mean we have protected status now, and can apply for gov't handouts and special considerations? Sweeeet. I'll do that tomorrow, let ya know how it turns out.
At least I know I'll be in good company, i.e. Dooper's 'fringe minority'.
Wasn't all that 'protected status' business initiated to protect us minorities from your big, bad majority in the first place?
Oh, and it was me that said I didn't care who armed themselves (ref. your comment 'you want guns to be free for every new born and child') in your thread, not Dooper. I noticed a conspicuous lack of rely there.

Those are the numbers that voted for Obama because of the policy changes he promised. Imagined now how many have been sorely disappointed when he has failed to meet any of his promises.
To those wondering what the numbers are
(since Southern Guardian brought this on himself with his unfounded comments)
Barack Obama ONLY won by 53% (sorry, I thought it was 54%) and McCain lost by 46% as stated in this CNN 2008 election center:
Election center 2008
According to this CNN article, only about 126.5 to 128.5 million americans actually showed up to vote in 2008
Voter Turnout
If we try to play the optimistic angle, and say 128.5 million americans showed up to vote, that means that only about 69.39 million americans actually voted for Mr. Obama, and 59.11 million voted for McCain
Ok, so this is what we have:
Obama ---> 69.39 million
McCain ---> 59.11 million
Last I recall, there are somewhere between 300 and 350 MILLION americans right now. So that means
300 mill - 128.5 mill = 171.5 million americans that did NOT vote for Obama. OVER TWICE as many as that of democrats that voted for Obama. Now lets try and see what that number would look if the census was really 350 million americans
350 mill - 128.5 mill = 221.5 MILLION americans that did not vote for Obama. Obviously this IS a REAL majority over the democrat's wimpy 69.39 million
Now I know you're all saying "well wait a second Mr. Question... those numbers INCLUDE the 46% that voted for McCain" right you are! Lets see what those numbers look like if we take away McCain's 46% of votes.
221.5 mill - 59.11 mill = 162.39 MILLION of voters that did NOT vote for Obama OR McCain. This is of course, if the current US population was at 350 million
171.5 mill - 59.11 mill = 112.39 MILLION of voters that did NOT vote for Obama OR McCain. This of course, if the current US population was at 300 million.
So... which ever way you slice it Southern Guardian, You and your sorry party ARE NOT the majority, ARE NOT the vast majority, so STOP acting as if you are.
Edit to add: Take into account that I did these numbers with the "optimist" view that 128.5 people actually voted. I'm sure that the number of democrats (and republicans as well) would be lower by 2 million if I had use 126.5 million instead, as mentioned in the article. Not to mention, that even NOW, many democrats have come out and said that they regret voting for Obama, which means that even within HIS OWN ranks, Obama's numbers are coming down.
