Anyone know of any good ones?

At most, 5% of the population would need to stop complying to bring down the government.

Dude, you'll get banned after the first time you question the divineness of St. Obama...unless group think is on your side like the FISA issue that is.

I've heard he runs his own whereever his official website is located on the radio.

Err...I heard on the radio and not his website is on the radio.

Try the NationStates.net general forum. It's not an Obama forum per se, but it's infested by fanatics devoted to their Lord (also, close-minded anti-capitalist bigots to boot.)

You play nationstates Jon? Did they get the 2.0 version running yet? I used to play. Maybe I'll revive my nation and we can be allies or something.

I'd like to set up my own forum.

There's an interesting element to Obama's campaign and that is his willingness (allegedly) to listen to the people.  The FISA group on MyBO was one example even though Obama didn't change his stance he responded (via the campaign blog). 

I was at an Obama campaign staff meeting recently and heard one great organizers say something to this effect:

"It's not just about electing Obama.  It's about building a community organization, one that we can use to hold Obama accountable if we have to."

Most of my friends think that doesn't matter but Obama will be the next President and it is our only chance to "lobby" the other side.

This is who I'm voting for:

- Constitutional attorney

- wants to eliminate income taxes on individuals over 65 making less than 50k/year

- critical of NAFTA and wants it reformed

- plays poker (against UIEGA?)

It's true he's probably a Fabian Socialist and the new face of Rockefeller's Globalization, but he is our next President.

The CFR interests are certainly maneuvering to exert their influence.  As RP once said, we need our own intellectual society to counter the CFR. He also said: "There's nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency."  (from the Beginning of the End of Fiat Currency by Ron Paul)

Obama says he sees no evidence of an EU-style North American Union.  However, the policy framework of such a union is based on Hungarian economist Bela Balassa's 6-step process included in his essay, The Theory of Economic Integration. 

The first two steps are "free" (managed) trade agreements.  Therefore Obama obviously is aware of Integration since he wants to reform NAFTA.  The third step is a customs union (e.g. EU Customs Union).  The fourth step is a common market (e.g. the EU, the Single European Market, formerly the European Economic Community), the fifth step is an economic and monetary union (e.g. Eurozone, EMU, ECB) and the sixth and final step is Complete Economic Integration (e.g. the failed Treaty of Lisbon).

I see a great opportunity to educate his supporters and show them the relationship between the Federal Reserve System and the CFR.  CFR members have said to "globalize safely" we must "abandon monetary nationalism" and "abolish unwanted currencies".  Their policy is wholly founded on Economic Integration which is enabled by a weak dollar and open borders.  NAFTA has caused illegal immigration purposely, so we can advance Economic Integration to drive economic growth.

Thus you can easily illustrate that the FED is promoting an economic policy that is destroying the middle class and the Constitution.

Obama is intelligent, maybe we can change his mind.  Remember, a man in his twenties who is not a liberal has no heart and a man in his forties who is not a conservative has no brains.  It's worth a shot.

Heart and no brains is why the young are always lambs to the slaughter of foreign policy imperialism.

From what I have seen of Obama's youth core, it is impossible to appeal to any sense of history, reason etc.  He has a cult of personality that exceeds rational discourse and appeals to logic.

It's quite sickening actually, but a predictable outcome to the 8 years of Bush-ism which has disgusted pretty much everyone the world over.

Personally, I hope Obama loses.  McCain will undermine the state just as fast, without creating a godhood.

Before Obama defeated Hillary Clinton I thought that he was the least of the three evils. Now I'm not so sure. The more time passes the more Obama reminds me of FDR. Its not so much what he is saying that scares me (although that is quite scary). It is the fact that people see him as some kind of religious leader. The amount of popular support this guy has and the lack of opposition really worries me.

This is acutally no. 4 on google for "obama forums" search, haha...

I don't think they actually have one... I haven't found it anyway. Facebook as someoen said is probably the best op.

QFT.  I've never encountered a bigger gathering of elitist and friendless pseudointellectuals than the travesty that is the general forum.

Yep. A collection of misanthropes. I'm not one to hold a grudge, but I really detest that boonless place. The only good that came out of it was a short thread on Hoppe, which made me buy his book.
