Rooters to U. S. Citizens, “Come on, put on your happy face as Obama destroys what took over 238 years to build.”

And we are supposed to get information from this bunch?

When the Democrats came to power is when I became pessimistic.

For me it was whn I realized that we have a narcicistic THUG
as Commander In Chief.

Always about him.
Thugish behavior to anyone who has questions.
Do you agree?

8 years of being told the economy is terrible followed by 4 years of the economy actually being terrible has left American quite sure things suck.

Is the author a complete idiot or a misguided fool?

Does this writer seriously think that an election or simply pretending the problems don’t exist will make them go away?

When did I get pessimistic?

When I found out that I am now a minority with fewer and fewer rights and far less freedom, I have a POtuS in the WH who hates white, married,Christian males who are conservative even more than he hates the rest of white America and everything it stands for and, even though we knew nothing about him, he was elected President by enough of the legal and illegal American people through fraud and pandering.

In 2008 the result had a certain inevitability about it - pitiful candidate, plus the media-generated impression that Odummy was a man of substance, plus the whole first-black-president thing. That didn’t depress me. Nov 6 2012 is it for me - the day my country committed suicide, shut down the lights on the shining city on a hill and joined the unwashed masses in the muck. People know how bad the putz is but voted for him anyway. That’s depressing.

When half of Americans realized that the other half are slutty, socialist, baby-killing morons, and that Obama is moving fast to put in place the mechanisms for killing millions of Americans, either by euthanasia, or starvation, or “riots,” or a Muslim dirty bomb.

In short, how did the United States become so pessimistic?

Abe will explain from "the other side."

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Obama is a biological-ideological issue of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats.

My wife called me from work to check for her something on a website...it was Whitehouse.gov.

I arrived at the website and something sick wrong evil and cloying was grabbing at my soul...it was if I were watching the VHS tape from “The Ring.”

I told my wife I had to get off and that we may check it out when she gets home...like I meant that.

The election of Bill Clinton

It’s been downhill ever since

There is no point in explaining this to anyone stupid enough to ask. When you combine an evil anti-American communist in our White House with a significant minority of Americans who actually think that is a good enough idea to try the experiment for eight years, pessimism becomes indistinguishable from realism.

for the last 30+ years, the media has been telling us that we are too stupid to control our own lives. They tell us that the other guy has too much stuff and there’s nothing you can do about except for electing democrats and they’ll get it for you. They tell us we were built on the backs of slaves, indians and exploitation and they wonder why people are pessimistic?

If you knew what the bad guys were doing then you would be pessimistic especially if we couldn’t stop it. There are so many threats to America that it is hard to know where to start. This why even people in the tea party groups don’t know everything. I feel that I should do a list of all the threats facing this country, but it hard to know where to begin. There so many different kinds of threats as well which lead people to claim different things will happen in doomsday scenarios. Then you get angry at following the rabid left. They just don’t get it.
