David S @ 136. Damn, packed every talking point in that post huh? Are you for real? You want to blame Bush for the entire national debt? Was there no debt before him? Where do you get that $4 billion and whose web site is this? See what I mean about your suspect credibility? Democrats will raise taxes AND spend more. That’s what they have done historically. The only time the debt was paid off seriously was when republicans, the real ones not the blue blood crowd we have today, ran Congress during the Clinton years. Funny how you credit the democrats for someone else’s work again.

Bush may not have been a great leader or steward, but Obama has proven to be worse already. And do you have any clue what fascism is? Fascism is just another branch of socialism. However you make yourself out to be either a liar or uneducated by claiming Bush was a fascist. Claiming he is a fascist because he did what the people that elected him wanted, and not what the opposition wants, is worthy of ridicule.

You do know that every democrat, and even Obama has already done so, also given out those evil no-bid contracts? And as I have often wrote, please provide me with tangible prove of what rights you lost during the Bush years. None of that Patriot Act is evil crap please. I want to hear how American citizens where dragged to concentration camps. Let’s say for pointing out how much of a fascist Bush was. Obama is now playing word games and doing exactly the same things Bush did. In fact he will soon give government more power. And yet, you try to tell me with a serious face that Bush was evil and Obama is a savior?

Oh David, leave it to you to miss out on my point. China abandoned the socialist economic model and embrace capitalism because they figured out socialism does not work dude. Their government is still a brutal and dictatorial one that only uses capitalism to strengthen their hold on power. Corruption runs rampant through everything. If anything they are closer to that fascism you accuse Bush of. And here you trying to tell us we should follow their lead? I feel how proud you are when you talk about their collectivism, but their collectivism is precisely what is still dragging the people down. It is nothing to be proud of at all.

I too hoped Obama would succeed and get things going again. Now I see he will not, and that is because he isn’t even trying. Cheap gas prices and a restart of the housing market would have injected enough money in our economy to restart it by themselves, but the fact that government is now throwing pearls to the swine – nearly all of that money is going to pet projects that generate no new wealth – will dampen any chance for a recovery.

Keep touting the greatness of collectivism and the corrupt Chinese government as our examples. Nothing will do more to persuade people they should avoid what you say more than that. I am sure we here could also use the other great things the Chinese government does in the name of the people. You accused me of being a blind ideologue, but you have proven you are far worse than I am.
