“The United States (as a republic) CAN survive the chief usurper of the Oval Office, but what the United States of America can NOT survive: an electorate SO stupid to actually give a politician such as Obama - along with the baggage known and unknown - the reigns of government.”
Done, right? Didn’t we already do that?
Or are you saying that if we are dumb enough to DO IT YET AGAIN, then we deserve to die?
I almost agree.
Clinton gave us Welfare Reform. Nixon gave us the EPA. Romney gave us Obamacare, and McCain begat Obama. Bush FAILED on immigration (big time).
This is the Tea Party’s beef, and I buy it in total. Just because there is an R by the name doesn’t mean they grasp the basic economics of something as simple to get as national sovereignty? How many adults are really left in the room when you have to explain it to the GOP as if they are four years old.
In modern parlance, the ‘enlightened liberal’ is now basically the same as a modern moderate, yes?
The Reagan Democrat, the Obama Independent (the Godmother of one of my kids voted for Bush, W, then voted against McCain for Obama - works high up at Russell Investments).
It’s hard for me to work with the adjective ‘enlightened’ when most people think the words ‘separation of church and state’ actually appear in the Constitution.
Many are opposed to abortion on moral grounds, and not because it was an in-your-face violation of the 9th and 10th amendments by SCOTUS in another one of their culturally scarring blunders.
If Jefferson were around, he’d have wondered what the hell we are doing not wrecking what’s now in place and starting over.
You are right, however, liberals aren’t evil. Liberals simply adhere to a dogma that is at its base deeply immoral, which is to say, “What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine as well if you have more than I do.”
Couple that with a tax code carefully crafted to foment such a culture. It’s not a stretch to pity the sinner here but hate the people who KNOW its wrong and are working to make things worse.
Or are you saying that if we are dumb enough to DO IT YET AGAIN, then we deserve to die?NOPE. This country can NOT survive an electorate SO stupid to give reigns of power to a candidate such as Obama. The fact is that IT DID do so.
I'm not in any disagreement concerning the other issues you referenced. I'd recommend that you check out my tag-line.
After you regroup we can talk again.
P.S. to PGalt: his political economy comes up once again...
