The early Christians were very communist. That's one of the reasons the Roman Empire was so afraid of them. And my two cents is that the people claiming to be conservative nowadays are not conservative at all. If they're so conservative, what exactly are they trying to conserve? I've been ranting for years that the so called conservatives in America now are in fact reactionaries at best and fascists at worst. But don't get me started...

In response to Bill-806's comment:

Bill, Boeing and another company just laid off 20,000 workers and word is out that a recession is coming.  We are near the fiscal cliff and the Repblicans can start showing some balls by refsing to extend the debt limit.  That wold keep u s from going off the fiscal cliff and wold necessitate massive cts in programs by Obama.  That would lead to massive unemployment.  Since most of those fired wold be Democratic voters they wold get what they richly deserve and others will learn that when 2014 comes arond they need to finally get their heads ot of their btts and put some real conservtives in office.  No more kicking the problems down the road.  cut ct ct---and if that means jobs lost too bad. It was O'spolicies that broght that on so let those people sffer.  They deserve it.  Mean spirited and damn prod of it.

 

I don't have the letter U working on my computer .....bear with me on that.

Ya Know...your reference to older people is a bit disrespectful. I am a Septuagenarian who liked Romney as a nice God fearing family man who had traditional values. Illegal aliens drawing too much welfare money from taxpayers & commiting majority of crimes, same sex marriages and women having abortions as he believed in Pro-Life as the Catholic Church but he did feel a girl raped could get an abortion. But, I now see his mistake.  He needed to reach out to get the young vote, the Latins & Blacks because their pro-creation rates are increasing and the former continue to come across our borders. I agree with Romney on all these social issues but this old guy is not running for office
For the first time in my life, I a™m really feeling my age. Aches and pains, military service and sports injuries aside, I feel that America has moved out from under my feet. My sense of right and wrong and logical thinking patterns do not seem to match up with so many citizens of this country. I too, thought the conservatives had a shot.

To me it is so obvious what Obama is about. He is not about the America that I grew up in. Obama's socialist agenda, his disregard for the rule of law, his re-distribution of wealth, his apology tour around the world, bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia disgusting!  In the four years that he has been president, his campaign promises fell by the wayside. He authored a $900 billion stimulus package that rewarded labor and put money in the hands of his supporters under the guise of trying to stimulate the economy(œI guess there were not as many shovel-ready jobs as we thought... heh heh.) The auto bailout --- how many know the details of that transaction included leaving the bond holders with no money? How would you like it if you loaned somebody money and they came back to you after signing a promise to pay you back and said  œSorry  I am not going to pay you what I owe you but I am going to give your money to my friends?
Yes, he inherited an economy that was in a downturn and losing jobs, yet he chose to pursue his healthcare agenda, his cap and trade agenda and green energy agenda that has cost this country millions of dollars ( Solyndra - $500 million lost ) while this economy went deeper into recession, he paid lip service to job creation and blamed Bush for the poor economy and did nothing to address the number one thing that was needed--- jobs. And while this was happening, he managed to play some golf, take expensive vacations, appear on TV ( The View, MTV, Letterman, Leno ).
And where is the press in this country?  One of most treasured things about our democracy is the freedom of the press. Remember when the press sought out the truth and let the chips fall where they may?  remember Watergate? Those days are gone. The American press cannot be trusted to tell you the whole truth, nothing but the truth so help us God. The majority of the press has a liberal agenda and you will not  see them digging up the truth about a story that does not reflect well on the Left. Will we ever get the truth about the Mexican gun smuggling debacle or Benghazi? If we do it will be because the task will be undertaken by someone with no vested interest in the outcome.
With Obama as our president, for the next four years, America as I know it is going away. As I approach 74 years of age, I know I will never see again, the America that I once knew.
 
What do the majority in this country see in Obama that makes them want him to be their president? He does not love this country like I do, why do others not see that?

 

 

 

heard a good one this evening. what do the republican party and the beach boys have in common?

answer: both their fan bases are dying.

fund its debt, most of which is the result of two wars and massive tax cuts during the Bush years

Folks, we have a mental midget. Take a look at the cost of "fudning entitlements" and the debt.

Anyone in favor of saving entitlements and their expansion by simply appropriating the entire prviate property of the few hatefully greedy rich people who aren't paying their fair share. That should save the Wards of the welfare State for at least a number of months. Only a mental midget is so prideful and prejudiced that he gets all red faced when when the demagogues sends him an Email about how the rich don't pay enough taxes to keep the poor from starving.

As for Clinton, the man who says we need a President who won't lie to the American people but will fib under oath, he capitulated to the Republican Congress on policies that he opposed when he was elected by the entitlement loving national electorate.

Combining the Bush tax cuts (extended by Obama) and the cost of 2 wars are by far the biggest contributions to the deficit.

We've had about 10 years of massive tax cuts mostly to the rich. We are still waiting for the "trickle down", but all we are getting is "trickled on".

Like Romney with the Auto industry, softy is now advocating: "Ley the USA go bankrupt".

I hope congress is not listening.

I'm curious what their excuses will be when the economy improves over the next 4 years. One can sense the likes of softy hope we go into a depression just to make a point.

In response to Joebreidey's comment:

you miss the point. a black man beat the whitest man in america. i'd call that a grand slam.

btw, as long as you're bringing in the ethnic results, mitt won the racist vote 100-0.
