Obama’s program won’t work any more than the New Deal did.
Tha smarmy, arrogant a-hole can adjust my codpiece. That’s about all he’s fit for.
Yet strangely the New Deal’s programs (at least many of them) remain in place.
Rubbish! Mr. Smith was clearly not in Washington on 9/12.
Granted, our beloved country is in desperate straits, but the death of American individualism and exceptionalism is greatly exaggerated. Nor is it at all clear that blood will not be shed before this cultural war is over. While it is fervently to be wished that we will overcome the threat of tyranny without civil war, Americans in vast number will, if forced, choose war over subservience.

I pray that would be so, but one only has to glance
around at the vast numbers in their 20’s, 30’s and
40’s and their self-centered and relatively easy
lives so far, bereft of any historical perspective
or interest, and there’s a lot of room for wondering
if they wouldn’t just flock to the govt trough.
When all is said and done, the word “failure” will be either spelled ‘Obama’ or be synonymous with Obama.
Point granted. But observe how many of these 20-, 30- and 40- year-olds behave when they are the least bit frustrated by someone else’s agenda: they are outraged by the mere suggestion that they can’t do or have what they want when they want it. They will join the responsible 20-,30- and 40-year-olds out of sheer fury!
Seriously, I do believe that a lot of youngsters are recognizing their own vacuum of historical information and are asking serious questions about who we are and how we got here. I think there is a hunger for meaning that we haven’t seen in a while.
The question is: What is critical mass and which side has it. For myself, I believe that God has empowered the mustard seeds and that America will be restored.
I agree.
Interesting call today to Hannity. The woman’s name is Christine, she apparently calls in often enough that Hannity immediately called her “his resident lib”. Anyway, she was calling to say that she no longer supports Obama, especially on his health care reform and fiscal agenda. She admitted she was still a lib on social issues. Hannity was stunned...for Hannity that is something!
By the time his name comes up on a ballot for re-election he will be viewed as the greatest enemy of ordinary American’s in the history of the Presidency.
His ideas and policies are THAT disgusting.
A striking resemblance.
My father was born in 1919. He spoke of seeing old miners nearly starve in the 1920s, when they could no longer work. I think FDR had the right idea, and Social Security has served some purpose. Johnson is the one who should be blamed for wrecking the economy with social programs.
Now I just need to adapt to the new Socialist Age in America
The American thinker has good stuff

Social Security: If it had been pre-funded, individually owned and controlled and voluntary... Yes.
As instituted it’s ponzi and detrimental to people and a rip-off financially.
I agree , you know they will. Someone once said this is how Rome and the Soviet union unraveled; the patriots died off in military expansion, and the rest lost interest because they had no nation to be have pride in, they grew to hate it .....much like the USA today
most great nations rarely last 300 years the USA may have matured and gone to seed
Obama has not readjusted my life in any way. When he tries , I will send him a message.
If he tries and succeeds, then he will have one less US citizen to be concerned about.
