SP4 is this sites resident bigot. He hates himself, his father, his life, etc., so he comes here and says the stupidest things just to get attention. No one takes him serious, most of his blather gets eliminated by the moderators and most sane people are trying to get his bigotry and vulgarity banned from the site. To quote an old friend 'the boy has a problem', and only medication and therapy can help him.

p.s. he continually makes the statement 'that does not make me wrong' when in fact his has never supported any of his lies with any facts and has never been right.

As I see it, there is a major problem with getting SP4 AND Lance booted off this site.
A) they are not web trolls, but editors who like to keep things stirred up. I don't think this to be the case, as both of those idiots have had many posts removed for profanity and racism.
B) the editors like to keep them around, because they create contoversy: They are the monsters.
This, however, backfires. They are not controversial. What they do is disrupt intelligent discourse. This in turn drives people away from this site. This is counter productive, as the revenues generated from advertising are based on viewership. The other thing is: it is hard to ban an IP. These lowlife gutter crawlers could use a proxy server. The answer? Registration linked to an IP. But even that has flaws and holes, which are obvious after a little thought. But I agree with you, these guys have got to go. But until they do, this site will continue it's downhill slide. I am about to sign off permanently.

1) can someone explain to me what is objectionable about my post above,
and,

2) why you are under the misguided impression that we, somehow, have less right to be here than any of you who insult us daily with nary a meaningful post?

sp4 - yes, we don't do anything you folks don't do...and that is your problem not mine

A) they are not web trolls, but editors who like to keep things stirred up. I don't think this to be the case, as both of those idiots have had many posts removed for profanity and racism.

SP4- so much for libnazi freedom of speech, eh?


B) the editors like to keep them around, because they create contoversy: They are the monsters.

SP4 - Monsters. Tell me, are you afraid of me?

This, however, backfires. They are not controversial.

SP4 - certainly not, which is why you write paragraphs about how bad we are?

What they do is disrupt intelligent discourse.


SP4 - really? where is it? Get back to us on this.

This in turn drives people away from this site.

SP4 - the narrow, lazy, biased, outdated prose does that without my help

This is counter productive,

SP4 - this, to you, is productive????

as the revenues generated from advertising are based on viewership.


SP4 - yes bonehead, and not on posts from me, although watch what happens when I'm gone

The other thing is: it is hard to ban an IP.

SP4 - especially if you're a libnazi control freak hellbent on shaping people's views by denying comment...

These lowlife gutter crawlers could use a proxy server.

SP4- did you find this on the internet?

The answer? Registration linked to an IP.

SP4 - Hell, they change the articles on some of this iste once a month! imagine the work this requires!

But even that has flaws and holes, which are obvious after a little thought.

SP4 - damn little thought

But I agree with you, these guys have got to go.

SP4- zig heil!

But until they do, this site will continue it's downhill slide.

SP4 - as if my prose is the culprit

I am about to sign off permanently.

SP4 - Rather than silencing debate, like a good little libnazi automaton, try making a cogent argument. I realize mind control is your preference, but here in America, we respect the brave.

...if you spend four more years, and get to a sixth grade reading level, you can put all those insults on one post! Golly, just think of the time it will save. Now, where is the objection to these simple insults above? Curious, isn't it...no one seems to object when they are leveled at me!

Libnazis...they can never live up to the standards they propose for the rest of us! Just look at Obama's..well..whole cabinet. (except for the republican members!)

God you are thick, why would anyone stand up for someone that post utter crap, no backup, no facts, and has been completely wrong in everything he has stood up for, for the last two years? Why?

Post something that is factual, with backup and facts and learn how to spell and you will get a little support.

'Now, where is the objection to these simple insults above? '
Simple insults for a simpleton. Anything more complex would leave EssPee's head swimming. As if the illegal drugs he takes don't do that already. Actually, there is nothing insulting about telling the truth. The truth being a concept that EssPee doesn't have a clue about.

Barack Obama as next President of The United States of America


The die is cast and for reasons that only a privileged few know, you Sir, will be the next President of the United States of America. Your next 4 years will be a turning point in US history and planet earth. CHANGE, your advisors and high stake investors offer the nation will undoubtedly be the same rhetoric and empty promises that make up a political campaign, that campaigns for appointment for any public office in America.

The White House will be the Black House to some, the Aryan Brothers of America will not be so happy, but yet will blame you and your staff if you fail, which will reinforce their belief that the Aryan Nation is the true leader for America. The religious zealots will be busy bees making nests to survive the onslaught of lies, corruption and deceit. Business enterprises and other competing nations will capitalize off of your inexperience in the art of corruption and murder. The organized crime organizations from different nations including our own will benefit from the lack of control over national crime.

Military governments including our own will test your tolerance to pain and deception and trick you into needless and profitable domestic and international conflict. You will no doubt attempt to colorize your staff to soften the race conflict once in office.

As President you will be President. Nations will respect you only for your title of office. Americans will soon see after your appointment as President that your intentions were manipulated by those that make the rules. You will fill the spot in history as planned, and nothing more.

You will never while in office be able to pull the troops from conflict in any land we are engaged in. As a matter of fact we as a nation will be engaged in a new conflict of war, which will galvanize Americans to seek a different form of government and a different and honest Congress.

You will attempt to shore up Americas problems with false promise and lies, because you cannot directly affect the CHANGE you promised.

Your frustration will be your downfall while in office, and your co-dependence on those that you trust will also add to your demise.

Our Armed Forces in rank will respect you as good soldiers they are, but those under them will not, and for good reasons, that only a good soldier knows.

America will not be America until its government respects the People, and tells the truth. America is a Republic, not a Democracy or Fascist Government or is it?

Until you can walk thru the streets and neighborhoods of America unaided by Secret Service or any other law enforcement agency you will not be respected by the many, only by the fearful and selfish few. Americans can protect their leaders if they are honest and respectful of the people they were elected to serve. Our Government has forsaken us for many hundreds of years, and now we will wait until your 4 years are finished for us to come to fruition.

CHANGE FOR AMERICA FOR AMERICANS!
The American Republic
A Sovereign Republic
