He might regret it, but he’ll vote for the next one. I have found liberals possess either selective memory or an ability to rationalize anything. He couldn’t be a liberal otherwise.

He will find a reason to stay on his destructive path, much like the scorpion in the fable.

Galen, he’ll be real easy to spot, since the Dan Ryan is a FREEway, he’ll be the only one standing there with a bucket and a hand out. But it is another way to raise taxes, so I suspect he’ll be there.

Your essay was great.

Obama will succeed in 2012 because by that time the economy will have recovered, and the only tax increases will be to Republicans. Acorn will register millions of new, solid dem voters, and they will all be on entitlements.

rbell, you forgot one step. Between loss of liberty and firing squads comes “reeducation.” Killing your political opponents is an overt action that can spark revolution, so it’s best left until after it’s clear they won’t see things your way. It’s also worth noting that one of the means of stripping liberty is gun control.

Thomas is exactly right. Pubbies just hate that sort of talk. They’ll stay out of power until they admit this truth and make it their standard.

They must apologize to all humanity. They failed and criminally to boot. I believe Ronald Reagan would say the same even though it might seem to violate his 11th commandment. Today’s pubbies aren’t really even conservatives at all. Not even a little bit.

The stimulus package was thought up by the Bush administration

No, the stimulus package was all Democrats. You’re thinking of the bank bailout, which was of roughly the same scale, represented the government getting actual assets, and is already being paid back.

TARP as conceived by Paulsen and passed by Congress was supposed to buy up the toxic mortgage-backed assets that were petrifying financial houses’ balance sheets. But as soon as the Obamanistas took over, they converted the TARP funds into indefinite-term subsidy/loans which they would not let the bankes repay, while not removing the toxic debt. And so long as banks are stuck with the money, Obama and Geithner have them by the short hairs.

Oh, and some of the TARP money, in complete disregard of the appropriating act, was spent on GM and Chrysler- and in concert with the Stepford Wife TARP-recipient banks was used to effect the government?UAW takeover of those companies.

None of this has anything to do with the subsequently-passed Porkulus

“Poor Citizen, aren’t you aware of the “run” on the market in September of ‘08, in the amount of 5 BILLION dollars that threw the fear of God into Bush?”

It was 500 billion, and could have run beyond 2 trillion had Bernancke and Paulsen not closed the markets. While one is reminded of Soros’ previous stunts, even he doesn’t have that kind of money: this was a nation-state. Who? The Chinese? Absolutely not. Chaos in US financial markets and a plunging dollar is Beijing’s worst nightmare. Who else has that much in US currency holdings to dump? Petro-states. To date, nobody knows which one(s): but make no mistake, it was a deliberate Pearl Harboring of the American financial system.

Not that Soros is innocent: there is very good reason to believe he and his hedge funds were behind the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

I was in a Wal-Mart parking lot loading my bags in the trunk & noticed a partially torn Obama sticker off a car bumper. I have not seen many more Obama stickers than I had on election day. The worm has turned.

David S – what is your fascination with trying to appease the rest of the world? What does that mean?

Perhaps you should follow the late singer/ actor Rick Nelson’s sage words of ‘Garden Party’ – ‘You can’t please everyone but you got to please yourself’

If the U.S is so loathed, why is the U.S. still a member of the U.N.? Why does numerous African countries, the Palestinean territory etc., still accept our tens of billions of aid money, goods and volunteers to be in their country?

Why does Germany, Italy, Japan to name but a few of our former enemies allow U.S. military bases present in their country?

I travel a great deal for work since 2003. From that time to 2008 I hadn’t ANY problems with folks in West African countries, Belgium, France nor English people I’d befriended.

This ‘need to be liked’ is eerily like SNL’s ‘Roy Smalley’ sketch. This ‘U.S. was/ is the global scourge’ is ludicrous you play upon. Get over your self loathing.. Oh wait.. are you an artist? hahaha

Perhaps pay more notice to U.S. and U.S. ex-pats who used their kids to campaign for politicians.. This was grossly on display on Europe’s CNN last year whereas U.S. ex pats living in France exploited their children to explain the ‘Hope’ n ‘Change’.

It was similar to Kathy Lee Gifford exploiting her children on television. Creepy..

Fear no! Tonight Obama will say,”i’m sorry I’m sticking you with that fool Biden but I realize I’m not fit for this job and have given my resignation to the Secretery of State. I’m happy to return to my true profession–collecting tolls on the Dan Ryan Expressway.
