I never realized how hard a socialist will work to destroy our constitution and the country that we Republicans love. Though I don’t believe he will be happy until he is looked upon as the next Castro.
I really hate to disappoint your narrow-minded, probably juvenile train of thought, but I spent 15 years of my life combating socialism in the fucking jungles of south america, while you were probably sucking on your mother’s tit (or maybe even being mistakenly conceived in some drunken mistake). I know socialism, and dictatorships, first fucking hand, and I also know political talking points built up lazily for the idiots who actually buy them.
How long will it take for our country to realize that Obama and his Progressive cabinet of advisers and Senate and Rep chair holders are trying to change our government from a constitutional Republic to a scocilist nightmare. Do we have to go bankrupt before we wake up? Do we have to loose everything our founding fathers and other heros so bravely fought for. Please America wake up, we need to take our country back and stand strong and vote these progressive socialist out of office. We need a smaller goverment ruled by the governed and strickly limited to only the things that the constitution gives the government power over. It is up to us the people to work and build ourselves and our estates up in this great land and help our neighbors not the government to take our money to force there speicial interst agendas. We are not stupid, we do not need mommy government telling private companies to put calories on their menus and get rid of there “happy meals.” We parent our children not the government.
Pull your heads out of that deep dark hole. The Prsident has already done more for this country then the last president did. Thank god that guy with the lowest job approval rating in history is out of office.
Republicans have turned into a disastrous party that I am glad to now consider myself distanced from. You people worship tools like Rush, who never did anything other than yack on the radio. I didnt vote for Obama, but in retrospect I dont think my original choice would have been much better.
Republicans are also anti-lawyer because most of them are too dumb to comprehend the constitution. Obama is a constitutional lawyer and 8/10 of the first presidents were lawyers. This country was founded by lawyers. Almost all of the Constitution was written by a lawyer (James Madison). Even though I disagree with Obama on many things, especially regarding illegal aliens, I acknowledge that he understands that document better than you, or any of these “Rushites” ever ever will have the mental capacity to possess.
Also, Republicans only think about themselves (ie tort de-form) and are gullible fools who trust the slanted studies paid for by the insurance companies and biased medical associations.
Last, you people are against government control, but are anti-abortion. Talk about being hypocritical.
Thank the heavens that useless party is falling apart.
I do vote Republican, but I also am a conservative. Yes, I do listen to Rush among others. I disagree about your anti-lawyer bit. I actually have a daughter who is an attorney. It would not have been my first choice for her, but she is an attorney just the same. As for Obama and the Constitution, I fail to see the grasp that this so called President has. He does not defend the Constitution. In your eyes, though, I guess you think that a socialist approach to government control over the private industry is brilliant. Yes, I am against Government taking over free choice that American’s did have with their medical. I can afford to go to my own doctor, and pay for it myself. (I want my doctor to keep his yacht, he has earned it.) Yes, I will agree with you on the last part. I don’t think that the Government should control us. We don’t live in North Korea yet. Is this what you want. I also don’t believe in abortion. Are you for this? I am looking forward to your reply. Have a great weekend. I am going to play golf. Pete
This is all too typical, flaunting what you have does no justice.. in fact it flattens your image.. any man who calls attention to his actions.. especially his money, or his recreational tee-time.. is obviously not so “well traveled” in life..
Bottom line is this: The country is falling apart.. one day at a time.. and constant bickering and infighting between so-called conservatives and liberals in the white house or elsewhere is thoroughly broadcast around the world.. how do you think other countries perceive this comedy?
This is not one man, nor one administrations fault.. it is the fault of the entire country for burying its head in the sand for so long, pretending credit is money, constantly consuming and never thinking once about giving, battling a constant dilemma of self-interest, and not doing the due diligence of conducting their own political research and relying on a biased media for information ..
what’s really needed is a complete overhaul of the current political system.. and the current American moral and ethical ideology.. if you haven’t noticed yet.. it no longer works.. So go ahead and keep pedaling the same broken bicycle that no-one else wants to ride.. It doesn’t matter if you listen to Rush, Beck, O’riley, Rick Sanchez or even if you watch C-span all day long…sooner or later that rusty chain will snap in Two..
My veiw on Obama’s job is very low and the US is in big trouble because of him. We have no hope or much of a future. The country is going down and all he cares about is health care instead of jobs and the economy.
I don’t believe the changes in Obama’s ratings are related to his performance, but America’s general impression and dismay with Congress, and the bi-partisan bickering. Obama is just the one to blame when he can’t make things happen because of a inept Congress. We’ve all watched the gamesmanship the Republican Senate has played since he took office, unanimously opposing nearly all legislation put forth by this administration. Any reasonable person can see that none of this legislation is anywhere close to being SO BAD that 100% of the Republicans in the Senate oppose it.
Instead of participating in some of the most important legislation in nearly a century (Health care reform), they chose to bet on being able to stall it in an attempt to discredit the President. They not only failed, but missed an opportunity to shape history. They are apparently planning to do the same on financial reform as well, unanimously opposing that legislation too. I predict they will again fail.
I used to think the Republican Congress represented my best interests by promoting a Free Market, until I watched a very corrupt, unregulated free market destroy the economy of this country and, indeed, the world.
And yes, I would vote for Obama all over again, but now I’d have even more confidence that it was the right choice.
@D. Painter – It saddens me that you feel so hopeless. The only advice I can give you is to turn off Rush, Glenn, and Fox News and do a little of your own research. I think you’ll be impressed with the progress this administration has made after taking over the worst financial and economic disaster since the depression and a society where over 40 million Americans can no longer afford health care and more and more people are dying from easily treatable diseases.
What you might find, like I did, is that Jobs were being lost at a increasingly rapid rate since December 2007. Immediately after Obama took office, that trend reversed uniformly and in 3 of the last 4 months, more jobs were created than were lost (first time since Dec 2007). I can only imagine where we would be if the status quo had remained. I’d bet we’d be WELL ABOVE the 9.5% unemployment we have today, but people couldn’t have blamed Obama for that. See for yourself in the multimedia graphic on the left on this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/economy/03jobs.html
Cheer up. All is not lost, the sky is not falling, and we’re not becoming a Socialist nation as the pundits would have you believe. Our current Free Market is broken and corrupt. We need some government control and regulation. I watch for signs in the financial markets, jobs reports, manufacturing reports, retail reports, consumer confidence reports, etc., every day, and EVERYTHING is pointing to much better times.
Of course, no matter how good things appear to be becoming, there’s always the deficit people throw out there. However, just to put things in perspective, here’s a little fact that I learned yesterday. The US government spends 7 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY we remain in Iraq. Just for comparison, the entire 2011 annual NASA budget is $19B, or less than THREE DAYS in Iraq. Why is nobody complaining about that?
Every 142 days our presence in Iraq increases the budget deficit by $1 TRILLION DOLLARS. And for what? People can’t blame that on Obama, but you won’t hear any of this on Fox news. According to them, our deficit is ALL Obama’s fault. It doesn’t matter that jobs were being lost at a tremendous rate all of 2008 and the financial markets were melting down and Americans lost TRILLIONS in personal wealth in a matter of months beginning October 2008.
I watched some videos where people at a recent Tea Party rally were asked about some of the issues they were most upset about, and very few could give any real reason for their anger. it was clear that they were just ‘angry’, and most of them reported as getting their information from Glenn Beck and Fox News. Other responses were just completely incorrect, where the people were simply misinformed. A lot of general terms like Socialism, loss of freedoms, government control, but none could articulate exactly what they were upset about. One example was that people were angry about increased taxation under Obama, even though it is a fact that 95% of Americans have paid fewer taxes since Obama took office. And personal freedoms? Obama has reversed some of the worst personal freedom violations in decades put in place by the Bush Administration, like illegal wire taps, or intercepting any call placed in the US without warning or notice.
It is sad that so many Americans are being led around by the nose by those who care so little about the people, or this country.
I couldn’t agree with you more. I have become a Socialist just like you and I am very proud of it. I am thrilled that we have health care. I am thrilled that we have taken over General Motors and Chrysler. I am excited to see that we are now getting ready to revamp Wall Street. President Obama is the best person to lead forth the Socialist movement in our country. I am so proud. I am changing my name to Hussein Obama Muhammad. Keep up the good work. The left needs us.
Amen Brother, I feel your pain…and it will get more painful. Way to much government control. The people that voted for change got it, I hope they like it.
I never realized how hard a socialist will work to destroy our constitution and the country that we Republicans love. Though I don’t believe he will be happy until he is looked upon as the next Castro.
right wing nutt Goddam Lunatics!!!
The truth hurts doesn’t it.
You’re right, the truth does hurt. Obama was born in the US, he won the election, and he’s not a socialist. Ouch.
Jason:
I guess you and the guy at the bottom of the page come from the same school and socialist side as your hero President Hussein Obama Mm Mm Mm
