Tell a story? Well, there are a lot of us these days who have stories to tell. And far from reflecting unity, purpose, and optimism, these are testimonials to another sad reality: the "American dream" -- at least under the Obama administration -- is dying.
My story is not that special, though it is unique in some ways. My wife is a medical doctor from the former Soviet Union -- as smart as she is beautiful. A surgeon by training (holding a Ph.D. in medicine on top of her M.D.), not only is she extremely capable as a hands-on physician, but she is also a businesswoman. Being a doctor has always meant everything to her, but she also knew that state-employed doctors in Russia earn on average only about $400 a month. She, however, had enough of an entrepreneurial spirit that, after practicing many years in emergency rooms and in cardiovascular surgery, she established her own plastic surgery clinic in the heart of Siberia.
Over time, she was grossing a "respectable" $2,000 a month. When we married and she came to America, I was thrilled to bring her to the "land of opportunity," where, as a doctor, she could earn multiple times her Russian income.

Since the government no longer represents the people, refuses to secure it's own borders and makes decisions which exclude what is in the U.S. best interest, I find it difficult to describe the U.S. government, as my government.
This is not complex.
Well then I guess you’ll be packing your bags, eh?
The NY Slimes. Great resource.(sar.)
This is about credentialed people protecting their turf. In many fields, like psychologists you cant move from one state to another without a hassle beyond belief.
All the docs I know call their degrees and licenses “Union Cards”
What ever gave you that idea?
You deny this? Is this unfounded?
Because you sound like this country just doesn’t seem to be yours anymore, like it isn’t worth the effort to vote this Marxist bastard out. You sound defeatist.

Ya think?
Try this, “Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it’’.— Mark Twain. This current government does not warrant my support. That’s why we have elections. I’m not ready to throw in the towel on America. As to your two questions, what then shall we do? More over, what do you intend to do?
Twain?
“If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.”
~Mark Twain
So then what do you intend to do, chum? As I said, you sound defeatist. Voting makes no difference, eh? Then the Reagen years meant nothing? So all our veterans died defending the right of all of us to choose for nothing? So what do you intend to do this November?
LOL!
Don't believe me. There are many other sources BTW.
The NY Slimes. Great resource
You asked for a source and were provided a major well known source, and were told there were additional sources and now ya stand here and suggest none of this is true, and it's all lies?
BTW, I noted you evaded the other questions asked.
Ya ought to learn the difference between defeatism and the truth.
BTW "chum" ya think government flooding the country with tens of millions of illegals, and hundreds of thousands of Muslims, did not undermine and compromise the electoral process?
Hello?
You living so well on some government pension and haven't noticed these country killing events and policies? Ya been asleep for several decades? Or are you just playing the stupid role?
First of all I’m not living on ‘’some government pension’’, I work for a living. Secondly, no I don’t like the idea of millions of illegals in my country. I haven’t noticed anyone stopping me from voting either. “Stupid role’’? That’s you. Tell you what MR. Negative, go chase yourself, I’m done with you.
You’re done because you asked for a source and were provided one, then suggested it’s all somehow a lie.
Stick your head in the sand a bit deeper, it might help that Pollyanna outlook of yours.
Nice distraction and diversion....But this isn't about me slick.
This has nothing to do with this thread.
In fact at *your* request for a source link, it was provided you, which clearly indicates under Bush, in 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent United States residents than in any year in the previous two decades.
Then ya turn around and suggest that the major well known source is all lies. You were told there were other sources which corroborate that, and ya stick your head in the sand.
Now all of a sudden you want to ask me questions about me and whom I am voting for? That's none of your flipping business....lol.
Funny how people like you attempt to twist, divert and evade when slapped up side the head with ugly facts ya don't like.
If ya want more sources, let me know.
