I’d consider being angry if someone could convince me that being angry is helpful in some way.

You should have kept reading. The very next sentence completed his point(I don’t know how to make italics on this forum):

“These people on the left for years stopped short of committing treason. After we started in the Iraq war, it was as if nearly a quarter of our country was fine with crossing that line daily.”

See what happens when you pay attention?

I’m not angry. I knew what the democrats and McCain were before we ever got to this point. I’m trying to have fun regardless.

I was thinking of an evil republican congressman contest. For instance my congressman wants to murder cancer patients for refusing to “allow” taxpayers to fund stem cell research. (according to his democrat opponent)

I’m having fun. I’ll be working the polls for my State Representative and state judges starting next week. When the weather is nice, I bring all my kids out and we meet the neighbors and shoot the breeze with the firefighters.

Sounds like the challenger in your district is a typical Democrat, just like my State Rep’s challenger.

I’m more angry with a Republican administration that turned a blind eye to the treason that has been committed over the past 8 years...not even mentioning it, much less prosecuting it!

I will vote for a little righteous anger, it drives people to action. Rage, that would be the Marxists, leads to destruction and chaos (wish Rush hadn’t used that word). Sen. McCain should show us the fruits of a little righteous anger.

The economy has cyclic ups and downs and this current one is historic and viscious, but we will recover from this one too.

During Bush Sr’s administration, he went from high approval ratings to tanking late in his presidency due to a market downturn. It actually started to turn around, but not soon enough for him to be reelected and Clinton, who won due to Perot, came into office just as the economy rebounded. Something he got the undeserved credit for.

Next came the tech boom and peace dividends, niether of which he had anything to do with, but all we hear of is the Clinton prosperity years and the sheep[le swallow this crap.

When Clinton left office, GWB was left with a recession and a tech boom bust he had nothing to do with, but be assured that over time, he got the discredit. Clinton also left a huge stink bomb that was the genesis of our current meltdown, but the press would have you believe it’s all due to 8 years of Bush.

So Bush was left with huge economic issues, then 911, the war in Afganistan, Iraq and to top it off.......Katrina.

But what really pisses me off is that we will recover from this current crisis and Obama, if elected, will get the credit.

"See what happens when you pay attention?"

He skimmed over it by simply saying "...it was as if nearly a quarter of our country was fine with crossing that line daily.”

AS IF? There was no IF about it. It happened. They did it, and they were fine with it. He most definitely should include examples of those that DID commit treason over and over, like the NY Times, and give examples of how they did so.

See what happens when you achieve reading comprehension?

How to bring down the United States and replace Democracy with Socialism.

Step 1 - Create systemic situations whereby the US Government will be forced to act in an unpopular manner for its very survival, i.e. war and/or economic turmoil through agitation of the enemies and control of the flow of taxpayer currency.

Step 2 - Take advantage of the fact that you have dumbed down the masses through support of public education unions and slowly control and destroy the manufacturing base via employee unions. Easily convince the ignorant followers now governed by emotion, not logic, that the Gov’t action was wrong and dangerous via propaganda distributed by vehicles now owned by ideologues, not journalists.

Step 3 - Time and control these circumstances to coincide with a national election. Begin to undermine the US Capitalist system by flooding the work market with illegal labor that does not return tax dollars to the Government of the country they are invading. Turn your back on the people's will to export the invaders.

Step 4 - Implant a socialist candidate who will automatically receive votes from the uneducated simply by his skin color, which will control the margin of undecideds. Other “unables” will support the candidacy hoping for socialistic control of free market economics and expanded wealth redistribution.

Step 5 - Control voter fraud in a social program developed under the veil of registering to vote those publicly educated “unables” who don't have the mental acuity to register themselves.

Step 5 - Revel in the impeccable timing of circumstances to expand Socialism in the world's most successful Democracy. Control the banks, the currency, the flow of money into the avenues of ideological programs by destroying the ignorant peoples’ control of their own money via exploitation of the mortgage industry.

Step 6 - Sit back and watch the decent of the most successful Democracy that world history will ever witness. Still imperfect, but what once was may never be again. Pocket wads of money for yourself and friends while keeping the masses under the megalomaniacal thumbs of a few.

I agree, it’s a great letter. I am mad at the lawyers and their advocates,the Mainstream Media. I am mad at the teachers unions, and finally, the party that represents all 3, the Democrats.

The nonsensical antics of the left were annoying and a little amusing until now. I just received in the mail my monthly IRA statement. It is down 23% even before the big crash! My home is worth less that what I paid for it. I feel like I’ve been “had.” Because we all have been had, bad.

It is not unusual to be angry and want to slash out. It looks to me that greed is the culprit. Lending institutions, being pressured to give toxic, subprime loans to credit unworthy borrowers is a factor in the creating the financial mess in which we find ourselves. The greedy loan institutions were able to get away with this because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac took them off the hook, so all could enrich themselves. Demand for housing went up, as did the cost of housing as demand outstripped supply with this new initiative in play. Mr. & Mrs. Jones on Main Street were caught up in this false economy and paid $389,000 for a home now worth $229,000. That money is lost. The trillions of securities are gone, too, for all of us. Evaporated. My IRA securities will not regain value for a long, long, time.

I am a little peeved because I realize that we have been taken to the cleaners by the Democrats, who now stand to gain by the economic woes that they created with their stealth implementation of socialism. The Democrats sabotaged our economy and now will take it over because the Republicans get the blame. Anger and frustration are the feelings of the day, as we helplessly watch our country slip away to Marxism, socialism, and thuggery. We are on the brink of having been done in by evil idolatry, and a passive clueless administration, IMO.

It might be a good idea to have all of those who educate others (teachers) sign a loyalty oath. Considering that most of this liberal nonsense is taught to the uneducated in American schools. Most college graduates live is a different world, if you doubt it talk to a few. Talk about treason at it's source.

After the last 8 years of hatered from the left I believeAmeica will never come together and if they think some empty suit like Obama can do it then they are crazier than I thought. They are the haters no matter what they say to each other in their little bubbles, they caused the spilt everyone but them knows this so they can never fix it. I personally will never forget it and if Obama is elected he will NEVER be my president!
