It is ground that can be defended. W ran up deficit and debt the like the country had
never seen. He gave everyone with a drivers license 600 dollars to go shopping to
turn the economy around. Yes Obama bailed out the banks and some car companies.
The reason? W and his clan in the White House allowed the derivative or leveraged
funds to amount to somewhere near a quadrillion dollars and if the economy fell that
money on paper would have been called upon.
Obama is moving to provide health care and other social programs that the rest of the
civilized world has had for fifty to a hundred years. America is being left behind and the
people cling to a warped version of religion that has been perverted for decades. I am
not against religion, I am against using it to brainwash the masses, that they should be
afraid of everything including their shadow. America was once a great country but it is
slowly sinking into the sunset, not because of Obama, although he has made some
mistakes, mostly listening to the fanatical right. Bush is not even the main problem here,
Ronald Reagan is the man who first began to dismantle America. All this unbridled
free enterprise is every bit as destabilizing as unbridled socialism.
The United States of America is a has been country waiting to sink beneath the weight of
its own corruption. This is truly sad. When unpatriotic businessmen can sell their country
out for a few bucks in profit margin. On the other hand, I say the average person who is
so greedy they are prepared to cheer on an economy that champions cheep consumer
goods even at the expense of their standard of living. Isn't it wonderful the companies we
have demonstrating how green they are, and how much money they area saving you.
All the while, the companies are working people in the third world for a few bucks a day,
making a mockery out of environmental regulations, and shipping the goods here for you and
I to buy on credit, until we bleed the nation dry. All this for their own profit, and bonus at the
end of the year.
I agree we have to make a profit, I also understand that these companies have a responsibility
to the communities they serve. Maybe we should be pointing out which companies are in fact
patriotic and which ones are selling out our national interests for their profit margins and at the
same time destroying the environment internationally to circumvent the laws and regulations
at home.
Unbridled Conservatism is as bad or worse than unbridled socialism and at present, America is
recovering from a serious dose of unbridled conservatism. Obama has to problems, one to
clean up the mess and at the same time bring America into the 19Th and 20Th Century in terms
of social progress.
Anyone who claims the excess of the political right and it insane deregulation policy is misleading
themselves. If you are going to defend Bush, just thing ENRON, the problem is he created an
economic house of cards and the present administration has to deal with that.
Face it the Tea Party has become an undisciplined, bunch of yahoo's that even the mainstream
Republicans are ashamed of. One look at the video, watching grown people behave like that
and in any measure trying to support them is totally out of touch with humanity, let alone the
political realm. Are Democrats perfect? No, they fiddle faddle around, instead of just getting it done.
They have to clean up the mess created by socially backward people, greedy consumers, gutless
politicians, and deceitful business executives and a whole generation who spends their time
playing electronic games or watching Entertainment Tonight, while the world goes to hell in a hand basket.
I guess this rant is over.
