"I don't think we can expect a quick turn towards the constitutional government that we're supposed to have; its going to take time. Why? Because for the last 8 years, we've been heavily brainwashed with the socialism message from virtually all our learning institutions, the media, and our elected officials."

Fair enough...but things like farm subsidies, unconstitutional campaign finance reform, and now home down payment GRANTS for minorities is not even attempting a "turn". Yes, I admire most of his foreign policy; yes, I think he's prosecuting the war correctly; yes, I'm glad he's told the UN to shove it a few times; and yes, he's done some good domestic things. But he's also helped further the socialist agenda in a number of cases. I can understand not having a radical agenda, but could he please stop giving so much away?

I tend to agree with you here. Nearly 100% now that I think of it. Yes, he certainly hasn't made too many moves to the right of late. Perhaps Clinton stole all the ink to the veto pen.

This down payment grant thing really got under my skin. Its like "reparations lite"; he's basically taking my hard earned tax money and giving it to someone else. I don't really want to start ranting, but I spent my time working 2 jobs, selling lunchmeat at the deli, pumping gas, washing cars and the like to gain enough money for my own down payment. There's no reason why any able-bodied idiot can't do the same. NO reason.

See, now I'm getting PO'ed again.
