Conservatives were complaining all along about Bush, but the left (they are certainly not "liberals" in the classic sense) were having screaming hysterics about Bush so the criticism from the so called "right" was drowned out. Who can hear a quiet comment while the lynch mob is screaming?
Bush was harmful to the economy. Obama is a catastrophe. Don't try to equate someone who shoplifts a candy bar with someone who pulls an armed robbery.
I would like to point out the debt clock in time square was stopped in 2000 because the debt was falling. Then along comes a fraud election and then the demolition team goes to ny and the western world invades the midle east and now africa. This means a democrat was in power when the national debt was last stable. During that fraud election Al Gore promised to start paying off the debt where as GBjr promised the national debt will be a priority in the future. GBjr was right... National debt is a priority.
Im not saying Obama is good by any means infact I think he sucks at his current job. I just think those who believe they are republicans or conservatives should step back and examine what their values and beliefs are. Is waging war of 2 and now possibly 3 and potentially 4 fronts worth the national debt that it is causing? Medical care and handouts to the poor instead of the rich are so small compared to the military expense. insert quote here "Don't try to equate someone who shoplifts a candy bar with someone who pulls an armed robbery."
The part that gets me is the republicans some how have the religious vote. Now I dont claim to be a religious expert but arent the religious people the ones setting up soup kitchens for the poor and saying its better to forgive others. Infact the half way house I worked at was founded by religious people for a religious cause. How do they on mass in both Canada and the USA vote for a person or party that favours handouts (soup kitchens) for the rich, punitive retaliation to international threats, drug use and any other crime (excluding election fraud) with plans of even greater and more expensive prisons to incarcerate, those who commit petty crimes, for longer and longer periods.
Now you may think... ahh another "bleeding heart" liberal. But I am not in favour of any party over another. There are parts of every political party that I like. My conservative friends "know" Im a bleeding heart liberal and my liberal friends "know" Im a gun slining conservative. I am just a human being that likes to think and reason to the best of my ability. It's that thinking that had me sorting common coins for their metal value after learning of fiat currency and then stumbling upon realcent. I think we all (deffinately those on realcent) have the ability to step back and reason and think. If we dont do that the movie
Idiocracy will be the new reality.
For the record Fox news remindes me of
Idiocracy.
