“Would Bill Ayers step on BOTH flags?”
As always,
your personal troll
Swarthy stranger dupes local teen into trading '83 Monte Carlo for magic “Obama” sign. Mother incensed, beats son about the ears.
Or, if it's the house I think it is:
“Pelletgate” Fallout Sends Pymatuning Voters Running to Obama
Bitter Voters for Obama
Signs of the apocalypse.
Indiana
Don't call your wife “Sarah”.
This picture was taken one minute before the latte sipping activist was beaten to death by toothless meth addicted hillbillies that didn't share his sense of humor.
PWT – Are you talking about Pasco or Polk counties in Florida? People their have to whisper at Publix if they're votin fur Obamama.
McCain's “Nightmare On Elm Street”.

“Our two flags surrounded by our new Halloween decorations.”
Or “The GOP's Nightmare On Elm Street”
That may be more inclusive….lol..
How about:
“Not one of eHarmony's greatest success stories”
SOUTHERN SCHIZOPHRENIA!
HOPE
It looks to me like the essence of what it means to live in America. In the tradition of lolcat captioning, I dub it “Freedom: I Has It!”
Another NASCAR Family For Obama
Obama. Putting Country First. [grinning, y'all]
What's with our new anonymous lurker that 's been attacking threads and down-rating all left leaning comments (even the non-political ones) in a thread? It seems both cowardly and childish…
Roy Zimmerman wrote a song that could easily serve as the caption of this photo. It is called “America”.

Believe me it's worth a listen. The man is a genius.
SteveK – yes, I have noticed something going on for the past week or so, too.
I didn't know about the down-rating, but they are up-rating those of us on the right as well. I went from -14 to +4 in the past week. While nice, it is obvious someone is gaming the system.
Yes, SteveK and AustinRoth: I've noticed the lurker, too. I lost ten points over two days. And one of the comments dinged was just to fill someone in on something. I don't think the person is reading the individual comments before dinging, but rather they will subtract a point from the people they don't like and add a point to the people they do like. The comments on one post were rated either “0″, meaning they dinged) or “2″, meaning a point was given. I've tried to determine who it could be but it's impossible because it could be someone who has never posted. It's definitely someone new. I don't mind getting dinged but the person who does so across the board and with no explanation is just a coward.
Austin StockboySF, I'm glad it wasn't just my imagination. When my innocuous but positive comment on a Gordon Lightfoot Video was downrated I figured that something was going on. Somebody had gone back through my posts and In a half hour down-rated I went from +16 to -19… Too funny.
Maybe the newbie doing this will see these comments and join in on conversations instead of poking a people from the bushes.
Steve – I didn't know that comments made with a 'reply' cannot be rated. I wonder, can they not be rated by the person the reply was directed at, or not berated by anyone?
In the end, the ratings are a little silly. They have always favored left-leaning posts over right-leaning posts here, but it was not a severe bias, and I try not to get too worked up about them, as they really mean nothing. They have served me in helping me know when I am getting too strident, because I do not often get down-rated for my views, but more often for my presentation of them!
But I don't like the thought of malicious mischievousness against anyone. Well, maybe one or two people here.
Steve, how funny to come across this post. Seems there might be another suspect to add to your list. haha
