And I'm not sure about you, but she claims to be a great Christian to the extent that it is embroidered on her sleeve. I am not a Christian as I haven't learned or been taught by a cleric to hate people who don't share my politics or religion that much. Again, you both are much better haters than I.

Liberals are so deeply ashamed that Obama has not measured up that even after 5 years out of the White House, they can't help themselves from comparing him to Bush. They continue to blame all of Obama's failures on Bush (and Limbaugh). Why not go on Obama's record? Why continue to compare Obama to a president they supposedly don't like?

Mitt Romney wasn't running in either of those years. In 2004 he had been governor of Massachusetts for less than 2 years. That experience in Massachusetts helped him be a credible Presidential candidate in 2008 and 2012. "There's a good chance we wouldn't have an ethanol mandate and a huge credit card - war debt to pay off. " The ethanol mandate had much to do with agribusiness lobbying rather than the policy of any particular administration, including that of GW Bush. As for the "war debt," that pales in comparison to Obama's "stimulus" debt. GTH [Edited by: gas_too_high at 5/11/2013 10:03:01 PM EST]

Like Roosevelt in response to Hitler? Or Lincoln (or Washington) when this country was really at "its worst". Reagan was no Lincoln or Washington. And Bush was no Roosevelt in spite of your tripping over your Bushy Tales. In the last 80 years, only Hoover was a Republican who gave a dam (but it took Democrats to fund it).

Hemond Champion Author Providence Posts:8,467 Points:136,015 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: May 7, 2013 7:52:07 AM Ignore Hemond Report Abuse What gives me hope is if you look to history, it seems a remarkable new leader pops up just when despair is at its worst. Look at the remarkable appearance of Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul. Reagan appeared just when the US was at its lowest point. After the disastrous policies of the Carter administration. The Carter years were a mirror image of the Obama years, starting with Carter's coronation. Same with Thatcher, along with Churchill, the 2 greatest British leaders of the 20th century. She brought a broken, bankrupt, fully socialist country back from the grave. Again a near mirror image of the US today. And of course together with Pope John Paul the trio collapsed European socialism, freeing millions of people from bondage. [Edited by: Hemond at 5/7/2013 7:56:13 AM EST]

One of the amazing things about Obama is who he makes look good. For years, I feared Hillary Clinton running for President. But when she and Obama squared off in the 2008 primaries, Obama's complete lack of experience made Hilary look good. Then Obama won, and got into office. In short order, his incompetent politicking made Bill Clinton look good. Then his apologetic foreign policy made Jimmy Carter look good. Finally, his Rube Goldberg social program called Obamacare made LBJ look good. GTH

That could be a quote from Superman Comics where that's what one citizen in the Bizarro World communicated to someone in ours. It is a shame that the current GOP recently invaded the Bizarro World, and took it over completely. Their only casualties were suffering from eating an enormous quantity of sour grapes -- but they seemed to have mistaken where the Bizarros hid their sour grapes with where they hid their grapes of wrath. They are both stored very close to each other. So instead of "truth", it is the GOP's caboose that is now marching on... Glory, Glory Halleluiah

Talk about looking at the glass half empty, that is a perfect example.::: You are welcome to explain why the glass is half full. I see 30 million unregistered Democrats among the illegal immigrants who are guaranteed to vote liberal. After all which party is more likely to continue giving them handouts? With 30 million new democrats, there is no possible way for conservatives to ever again be of any significance. Any and all liberal programs dreamed up will come to pass. Despite our being broke the spending will escalate until the inevitable collapse. We are seeing it in Europe. We see it happening in the UK. All the models of European socialism are fighting for survival. Our turn is next. So yes the time of the US has passed. Only conservative policy can right this floundering ship of state. We saw it happen under both Reagan and Thatcher. It can be done. But the reality is it won't happen. Conservatives simply don't have the votes, don't have the numbers. Thats why I'm planning my escape to either Brazil or Thailand. There is simply no future in the US.

I refuse to be so pessimistic. However, for America to avoid the socialistic fate that is engulfing Europe, requires the American people to come to their senses. Specifically, they must stop looking to the government as dispenser of benefits, and recognize that the power of government, being always a potential threat to freedom, needs to be kept as limited as possible, consistent with defending and maintaining the peace at home and abroad. That means, among many other things, it is not government's responsibility (not the Federal government, in any case) to guarantee health care for all. Nor is it government's responsibility to play Robin Hood -- take from the rich and give to the poor -- as that is a good way to ensure nobody is rich and everybody is poor (except for officials of the government). As a former President (a Democrat, at that), once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." GTH
