Comments on: From ‘Hope and Change’ to ‘Fear and Loathing’ http://pjmedia.com/blog/from-hope-and-change-to-fear-and-loathing/ Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:57:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ACJ http://pjmedia.com/blog/from-hope-and-change-to-fear-and-loathing/#comment-206413 ACJ Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:02:30 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/?p=46310#comment-206413 HEY BileMan, Have you been to France, Canada, or the UK or did you go to South America on a friendship tour? Socialized medicine is what you received while you were in the service. Our government trusts government healthcare. If we had socialized healthcare we wouldn't need unions, and small businesses would be able to compete on a world market. Some socialism can be a healthy part of capitalism. I am offended by your insensitive remark about my father. He was a LJG, an extremely good pilot and thought that joining the military was the duty of an American. When he died he left my mother with two infants. I understand it is the chance you take when you join the service, but he wanted to be an American and not a Swede. Republicans have ruined our country financially. They took a surplus and ran it into the ground. George Bush used Reaganomics to make the rich richer and poor and middle class poorer. His reign of government did not excel education, infrastructure, or even tried to get us off the oil nipple to make us independent and strong. Obama is making change by doing the opposite of George Bush, to SAVE this country. We are in the process of saving this country from collapse. We have only had republicans running the show for the past 8 years and this is the result. There is nothing to show for those eight years but devastation. You have no right to be arrogant, or tell me anything about your way of governing. HEY BileMan,

His parents were square heads (socialist) they loved America. My grandparents started out in sweat shops but soon live the dream by having their own businesses. I am a thankful person after all of their stories...but I wnat to be a proud American...that means manufacturing, not a service industry. and that means everyone has a chance, not just the rich people. I beleive in education and healthcare. Other countries have so much more than we do...we are docked before we can get ahead...this is extreme capitolism. I hate any ism. but extreme capitolism is just as bad as any other ism. Bilgeman, My father was a Navy pilot and gave his life for our country.

Most Americans, I believe, will back me up on that. You are here because you want to be. There are many outside the US who would like to come here despite all the negatives that the last "270 years" have brought. Heck, they wanted to come for centuries before BHO came on board. If one doesn't like it here, with our "America First" mentality, one doesn't have to stick around. Don't let the door bump you in the burkha on the way out. Rotwang-

Like, say, in Saudi Arabia or Spain? Does that get divvied up also? Or does that just go for America? How about Hugo Chavez and all his wealth accumulated by being a "Great Leader"? Is BHO and crew going to make sure everybody worldwide is playing fair? It seems the US helped Europe during two World Wars in the waging of war and the rebuilding of society. Pretty good for a mismanaged 270 years. The Arab world and Europe have nothing but infighting and wars over those 270 years to show the world. (Yes, we had a Civil War in the U.S., but 4 years is a fraction of what the European and Arab worlds have seen in almost constant fighting and death). Heck, Sunnis,Kurds,Shiites,etc. would rather kill each other than work out their differences. Do you see neighborhood churches fighting each other in the U.S. BTW? One exception to the Arab constant infighting might be developing in Iraq, which has a constitution modeled on whose example? Right, the U.S. #156 Rotwang-
