OP, with respect, everything you talked about has 100% to do with your mental health and 0% to do with Obama.

Things You Regret Doing During The Obama Administration

People made Obama out to be some Golden Child, but he really wasn't all that special. He grew up in the very liberal state of Hawaii, and he had all sorts of white liberal friends at Harvard, Columbia, Occidental and the University of Chicago. He also did copious amounts of drugs, and he was admittedly not that great of a student in high school. He traveled to 51 countries and he got to stay at some of the most elite hotels and restaurants around. Now, how many inner city people from Chicago or rural America get to do any of those things? I don't want to single Obama out because I've read the Presidential biographies of George Bush who was an alcoholic and others, and many of these people were deeply flawed as well. I admit during high-school I wasn't always a straight-A student and I admit to experimenting with medicinal herbs, but I try not to walk around acting entitled. As for my mental health, mental illness is a very grey area. Gays, Lesbians, and Transgenders would've been classified as mentally ill in 1977. You also have psychologists that say that Right-Wing Authoritarian personality disorder is a bad thing. Isn't Left-Wing Authoritarianism just as bad? You have Lenin, Trotsky, Yagoda, and so many many more. You also had left wing terrorist groups like the Symbionese Liberation Army. Patty Hearst the daughter of the Hearst publishing company was apart of their ranks. You also have Sara Jane Olson and Angela Davis who were involved in terroristic activites in California in the 1970s. Some of these people were charged and convicted of murder in California, and some of them are still walking around free today. Meanwhile, you have people like Ernst Zundel, David Irving, Pedro Varela, and Germar Rudolf who were imprisoned for debating aspects of the Holocaust. Is that right? Should people be imprisoned for having the right to speak about issues they are passionate about? To me, that is very un-American, and that is very un-Christian. I don't care if your a Muslim, I don't care if your Hindu, I don't care if your an Atheist, a Fascist, a Nazi, or a Communist. Everyone deserves the right to speak about issues they are concerned about so as long as they remain civil.

I worked on the beltway in D.C. and I had some alright experiences, but it could be outright depressing too. I remember a lot of the men and women that called themselves Christian Conservatives would go to the bars and drink lots of alcohol and some would go out of there way to have one night stands. I believe that if your a Christian, you really should avoid that type of behavior. You should also try to settle down with someone for the long-term ie marriage.

The Southerners down there would sometimes say negative things about black people, but they worshipped college sports players. I don't understand that. They had some redeeming qualities about them though, they said what they meant and some of them did endure some challenges in their life though. They were also very practical and unpretentious. Many of them grew up in very conservative backgrounds and many were liberals in high school.

Then of course you had the big L libertarians and anarcho-capitalists who were for the most part snobbish, pretentious social liberals and many couldn't hold an interesting conversation. They just rambled on about bitcoin and other random obscure issues. Many of these people had no ambitions to start a family. Most of them only seemed to care about growing their bank accounts.

One of the reasons why I went down to DC to begin with was because I liked Conservatism as opposed to these big liberal nonprofits that had large corporate sponsors and wealthy donors. The organization I worked for was a smaller organization. Some parts of the building were really nice, but for the most part the building looked like a time-warp out of the 1980s. From my observations, the organizations leader did not live in a big house and he did not drive a fancy car. He lived rather modestly, and he was a very intelligent gentleman but he was a mediocre speaker.

There was also a picture of two serpents breeding that the whole office got a kick out of. I laughed as a way of being polite because everyone else laughed, but I really didn't believe it was funny.

Typical homeless person mindset, blaming anything they can find.
They are quite logical too somehow. I started listening to some homeless guy in starbucks and I developed a brain cancer in 10 seconds.

I bet for some guy's lack of women, it has to do something with Obama. he brainwashed women to be more educated and independent so that they don't necessarily need a man.[Image: banana.gif]

I heard numerous times, the word 'Liberals' when people were complaining about women here. I bet Trump helped them to get laid more now?

I hated Obama as much as the next right winger, but letting him ruin 8 years of your life is crazy. I was pissed off the day after the election in 2008 for sure, but can't be something you focus on every hour of the day.

When he was running, I thought there was no chance the U.S. would elect a black president.

When he got elected, I thought it meant something, and let my guard down a bit, and looked forward to some hope and change.

Not sure if I regret it. It felt good to have a little faith for a change, even if it was misplaced.

Vast majority of these people have some kind of serious mental illness. Once you see it enough you pick up the signs quickly, especially when you witness family members over time get tired of them/stop caring, next thing you know their condition deteriorates, they go off their meds, can't function normally, and bam their homeless, then sometime later someone sells them medicine (heroine or crack most likely) and soon enough their dead under some random bridge real talk.

As they get older, the safety net for these people gets thinner and thinner. Thats why real in person help is the best thing rather than the internet, because thats the only real way to make sure they stay on their meds. Anyway, offtopic now, sorta.

Admittedly I developed a defeatist "enjoy the decline" mentality and just preferred to watch it burn rather than fight and build. Which I myself don't even respect, but it is what is. I was absolutely convinced another Marxist or spineless "republican" would just take over after Obama and I just up and left the US. Watching what was being done was like watching my loved ones beaten and raped in front of me while I was tied to a pole and not being able to a thing about it. Like a whale in migration, I found myself hunting for better breeding and habitable grounds. To enjoy life and spend more time having a good time rather than fight a losing battle for a people I largely no longer felt a common bond to.

Now I find myself struggling trying to override this mentality while simultaneously attempting to keep my enjoy the decline plans still in the picture but more on the backburner. Caught between wanting to fight for something larger than myself, while battling the side of me that wants to live for no one but me. Talk about a roller coaster ride. A part of me says living in a monarchy would be better than to have this constant back and forth between political parties. In a monarchy if things don't work out, you vote the old fashioned way. Just fight it out and let the strongest win.

Do I regret it? No. Though it does give me a mix of emotions. Sometimes I tell myself I feel like I gave up. And I don't like that.I feel like I let politics impact my future too much. Had I a crystal ball I like to think I would have stuck to my original life goals. Which sometimes does sting...a lot. But on the other hand, it's been an adventure that I wouldn't trade.

Dreams are like horses; they run wild on the earth. Catch one and ride it. Throw a leg over and ride it for all its worth.

I used to believe that the Republican party and corporations would help save us from all our problems. I also used to believe that Democrats were mostly bad people. I now believe a third party is needed more than ever in America. In Germany, you had the Monarchists, the anti-Monarchists, and the Illuminati. In many parts of Europe you have a coalition based government. I really don't see why a third party wouldn't work in this country. In the 1930s you had the Bull-Moose party which was founded by Teddy Roosevelt.

I have to admit I really read too much into the Adam and Eve story where they talk about Eve biting into the Apple. I used to believe that woman were mainly the ones disobeying God's orders, but if you think about it enough Men also have an Adam's apple. Women do too but it is usually less prominent.

Adam disobeyed God by not wanting to be the only person in the Garden of Eden. He made a deal with God to give him up his rib in order to create his lifelong companion, Eve. The story of “Adam’s rib” is found in Genesis. Genesis 2:18–24 tells the well-known account of how God created the first woman, Eve, by removing a “rib” from Adam’s body and fashioning it into the woman. The creation account clearly indicates that God used Adam’s rib to create Eve instead of making her from the dust of the ground as He had done for Adam. The question also arises as to why God created woman out of Adam’s rib. God apparently had formed male and female animals separately, but the female human was originally part of man—Adam said, “She shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man” (Genesis 2:23).

God used Adam’s rib to form Eve to show that they were actually the same created being, two halves of a whole. The female was not created as a separate being, second to the male. She was formed as part of the initial man, in order to be a “helper suitable” for the male (Genesis 2:18). While Adam was in a divinely induced sleep, God “took one of the man’s ribs and . . . made a woman” (Genesis 2:21–22). Eve was brought into being to strengthen and powerfully help Adam; she was made from the same “stuff,” and she was every bit as perfect a creation as man and every bit as patterned after God’s image and likeness (Genesis 1:27).

The woman made of Adam’s rib was designed to be a “suitable helper” for Adam (Genesis 2:20). The Hebrew phrase is translated “help meet” in the KJV and “companion who corresponded” in the NET. It is not synonymous with assistant, servant, minion, or subordinate. The Hebrew phrase, ’ezer kenegdow, in all other instances in the Bible refers to powerful and extensive aid and support. In most cases, the phrase was used to depict dominant military forces or armed men. Other passages, including Deuteronomy 33:7, 29, and Exodus 18:4, use the same phrase to discuss the potent interventions and deliverances of God Himself. Woman, therefore, was created as a complement to man, as an integral part of man, and as a powerful and influential companion for man.

You're a couple of decades off in regards to Teddy Roosevelt. He died in 1919.

edit: I read your message again. I'm guessing now you understood Roosevelt was long dead but in the 1930's had the Bull Moose party still a factor. I'll look for more information but I thought by then the party had all but died out.

He was just off on the date...Here's the platform according to wikipedia

To that end, the platform called for:

Strict limits and disclosure requirements on political campaign contributions
Registration of lobbyists
Recording and publication of Congressional committee proceedings
In the social sphere the platform called for:

A National Health Service to include all existing government medical agencies.
Social insurance, to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled
Limited the ability of judges to order injunctions to limit labor strikes.
A minimum wage law for women
An eight-hour workday
A federal securities commission
Farm relief
Workers' compensation for work-related injuries
An inheritance tax
The political reforms proposed included:

Women's suffrage
Direct election of Senators
Primary elections for state and federal nominations
The platform also urged states to adopt measures for "direct democracy", including:

The recall election (citizens may remove an elected official before the end of his term)
The referendum (citizens may decide on a law by popular vote)
The initiative (citizens may propose a law by petition and enact it by popular vote)
Judicial recall (when a court declares a law unconstitutional, the citizens may override that ruling by popular vote).[11]

Gotta say, a lot of this sounds like putting power in the hands of the people. Remember, Teddy's going to be waiting for you in hell so consider that before calling him a white knight [Image: icon_twisted.gif]

One thing I somewhat regret, I read too much into the writings of David Duke and the NOI, and I believed that a large segment of the Jewish population was doing everything they could to undermine civilization. I also liked how David Duke tied together European paganism with European Christianity. He also was a great orator, and he was un-liked by many in the press. I also liked how he got a Doctorate like Martin Luther King Jr, and I liked the fact that he refrained from using racial epithets to describe other groups of people.

The media liked to characterize him as being a Nazi or Anti-Semite, but the thing is he did support some Jewish people, and he was friends with many Arab peoples. He even went so far as to travel to Syria to talk about bringing peace in Iraq and Afghanistan. With that being said, he also has his own set of problems. He was a gambler, and some could say he was a womanizer like Martin Luther King Jr who was also an ordained minister. Some could also say he wasn't involved that much in his daughter's lives. He lived in Louisiana while they lived in Florida.

I guess one of the reasons why I supported David Duke is because Malcolm X was considered a saintly figure in my History class. The truth is Malcolm X was not a saint. He had problems of his own. He stole from peoples houses and sold drugs to people. That being said, he did become more educated and he did reform himself and he also did teach brotherhood and fellowship later in his life.

Louis Farrakhan is also rather intelligent and he was a great violinist in Harlem. He also has strong conviction in his words. The problem I see with him though is he hangs out with the crowd (hip-hop gangster rappers) and he does live above his means. He lives in a big house and he holds conferences at the Four Seasons. A true preacher should emphasize the teachings of Moses, Abraham, and Jesus more, and they should also live more like their followers. These megachurches that teach the prosperity gospel are very unethical. They ought to teach the honor system and the golden rule more.

There are certain aspects I like about the Jews they can be quite hospitable, and they do have a wide circle of friends. Many of them also have advanced degrees, and many have a strong ethnic and religious identity. At the same time though, they can be really bossy and short-sighted. They spend all this money on building settlements in Israel, but they are intermarrying with other groups and they are not having much children. The last time I checked Jews have a low birthrate in Europe and America (1.5 fertility rate) while Jews in Israel have 3 kids. A lot of them preach diversity, but if you a go to a synagogue there is a good chance the people that go there are homogeneous.

I read into too much things about trans-humanism and science by Rachel Haywire on the alt-right. I was really on the fence about some of it. I thought some of the ideas were innovative, but many were just downright bizarre and in-human. I admit she could be a very attractive and intelligent woman, but those tattoos and her hair-style are really off-putting. I also believe she should really read up more on the basic foundations of theology.


“At this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

- Robert Jastrow

Aside from reading her opinions, I happened to meet some other guys on the alt-right. Some of them genuinely smart and disciplined, but some didn't give me confidence. I felt like some of them had ulterior motives, and I wasn't sure if others were just SPLC plants. Originally, I believed Richard's early writings were really interesting, but I have to say he has changed his opinions drastically since Trump got elected.

He originally wanted to be a Theodore Herzl for European Gentiles, but now it looks like he stands for concepts of American exceptionalism and secular Manifest Destiny. There is nothing wrong with believing America is a great nation, but you shouldn't dupe your followers into thinking one thing and then do the exact opposite.

I'm also perplexed to see him in a photo with Laura Bush given that his whole shtick was being against Neo-Conservatives. To me, It's no surprise that him and George Bush's twin daughters lived in the same neighborhood together. It almost makes me wonder if there was some controlled opposition going on there the entire time.

[Image: richard-spencer-wife-laura-bush-678x381.jpg]

Perhaps it's possible I could be overlooking things. I too had many friends growing up who were diametrically opposed to my politics, but we still managed to get along quite well. That being said, I believe Richard should give the spotlight to some other speakers. I know a mutual friend of Roosh's who would a make a phenomenal speaker.

You do know that David Duke was the leader of the Ku Klux Klan, don't you?

And David Duke stole from people too. In fact he went to prison for it.

So I'm confused, do you regret being a David Duke fan altogether, or do you just regret reading to in to some of his writings?

I voted for him - it was more of a "what the hell" impulse decision. I soon after got very sick of the constant fawning over him, and began listening to talk radio as a way of getting an alternate opinion. Turns out I agreed with most of what they said, and I became a conservative around mid-2010. That midterm was hella exciting.

Like most of Fox News and talk radio, I drank the Mitt Romney Kool-Aid and thought the cuck pussy actually had a chance. When he lost, I was so devastated I went straight to bed, missed morning classes the next day.

I gained a decent amount of weight in 2013. Struck out a lot with chicks, too...I was so depressed when I looked at politics, I desperately tried filling that void with sex.

I eventually did grow to accept that Obama was my president and didn't need therapy like the lefty faggots did with the God Emperor...but what I went through was certainly a junior version of it. I really, really let this shit get to me and should have just enjoyed life more.

Yeah I knew that, but the thing is a lot of intelligent and widely respected people were once called radicals. The truth is everybody has the capacity to change. Look at Paul the apostle from the bible. Paul was one of Christianity's biggest persecutors, but he later became one of Jesus's biggest supporters. David Duke certainly is far from perfect, but so is Edwin Edwards and that man got elected to the Governorship of Louisiana who was later imprisoned for racketeering charges. Now if you want to talk about black panthers, you can count Justice Clarence Thomas and Jackson, Mississippi mayor, Chockwe Lumumba as former members/supporters.

The one thing I regretted was lurking too much time on a website called Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S Presidental Elections with SJW's and thinking they knew the future. Most of them were very partisan Democrats whose wet dream was to see the Republican Party go away instead of seeing it change and evolve. Those people would probably be at Antifa protests now. I stopped going there because anyone with a different opinion was ridulculed.

Duke rhymes with puke. He might be an intelligent guy, but he's done some real narcissistic things in his life. He is a false idol as are many politicians. He spent many years in the middle east when he could've helped out his constituency in Louisiana. I also find it weird that he lives in Mandeville, which if pronounced a certain way could sound out Man Devil. I believe the only person that deserves idolizing and admiration is our creator.
