Has America “Gone Soft”?

OMG!

Need a bumper sticker.....

America has gone soft because it’s rotting from the inside out starting in DC. Our political class are a bunch of criminals who are only in politics to enrich themselves. There are two paths to stop this erosion. A political revolution which we have seen with the Tea Party. The questions is whether it has legs and will bring forth sincere politicians who will do as they say and say as they do. The other, more common to history, is a bloody revolution, which I fear will end up happening in the next 20-30 years as our country continues to get raped by both parties and the living, tax paying citizens say enough is enough.

Great Obama, so cut the corporate tax rate and get us competitive again.

Democrat's anti business polices have weakened America and then they whine that the American people aren't what they used to be.

Obama is truly an anti Christ.

Obama said in an interview that “this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and, you know, we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades. We need to get back on track.”

Barry's malaise message: It's your fault, Americans.

Actually, there was some softness responsible for the present situation: the softness in the heads of those who voted for Obama (as well as the softness in the heads of those who refused to vote for the Republican candidate to demonstrate their ideological (read "idiotic") purity).

I believe in American softness, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British softness and the Greeks believe in Greek softness.

Corporate tax rate is only 15%

Individuals are paying 30%

Every morning I wake up thinking this guy can't piss me off anymore then he already has. Every morning he proves me wrong.

Drudge is running with this...it will get some play.

Now the Republicans needs to nail Obama on this.

[silverleaf]

WTF?

excellent!

[Jeff Vader]

that’s strange, I get that same feeling too.

Yes. America has gone soft in the head. Thay's why the U.S.A. is teetering on the brink of destruction.

Civilizations fall because of internal rot, decay, and corruption--decadence.

American decadence exploded into full expression as the counter-culture movement of the 1960s.

The American people thought the counter-culture movement was embodied in flower children singing Kum Bayah. It wasn't. The embodiment of the counter-culture movement was Charlie Manson.

Today the consequences are obvious--but millions of Americans are oblivious to it all.

It just seemed to me that he left is the one who has turned everybody into a bunch of pu&&ies, with all the non-stop whining, agitating, enviro-scares, and community organizing that has been going on for decades. Now Obama always thought the private sector was just “there” and it could be taxed, regulated, indebted, and exploited in unlimited amounts. America’s Chicken truly are coming home to roost.

Dear Mr. President, the American people and business haven’t gone soft. They’ve gone out of business thanks to you.
