Both parties represent different faces of the status quo, and unfortunately that status quo represents death for our nation. It's no joke when we hear that there is a stupid party and an evil party, but stupid and evil does not make for good leadership.
Never mind China, we're going to get passed by Brazil and India at this rate. How can you have hope in a nation that elected Barack Obama?
Among your several good posts on this thread, you have captured the essence of the problem with modern day America - too many of our countrymen are willing to sell all of us into slavery because of their utopian world view.

Alas, the combination of willful ignorance on the part of voters and election fraud which allowed the election of Obama is the real terror, not Obama himself. Obama did not get a single vote from a clear headed voter who was also an honest American. The only people who voted for him with understanding of what they were voting for were the crooks who expected to benefit from a gangster government. The rest were muddleheaded simpletons regardless of how many sheepskins they may have had on the wall.
