...re-create it from scratch.
This can be done, but like most downward slopes, or drops, you have to hit rock bottom before girding your loins and starting back up. In that period of time, the American dream will become a nightmare.

I read the headlines this morning, of an online story on CNN about Barney being out. I thought, at least there is some good news in all this. Then clicking on it, revealed it was Bush's damn dog instead of Barney Frank.

Words of wisdom from a very wise, brave, and godly man. I'll bet Reagan's shooting the breeze with my grandpa up in Heaven right now, maybe pointing out how lucky they both are that they didn't stick around on Earth long enough to live through the mess that has been made and continues to be made of America.

I heard that speech.

It's one of the reasons he was one of the most popular presidents in our history.

During my many lonely years in San Francisco, I had a co-worker who used the "trust but varify" quote. I reminded her who it was from. She turned green and damn near threw up.

It was indeed a "moonbat moment". I will charish 'till the day I die the look on her face when I told her she was quoting Ronny.

To be fair to your co-worker jimbo, "Trust, but verify" is actually an old Russian proverb popularized by Regan. :)

Hey Jimbo..."trust, but verify" was not something Reagan made up, you dope! Reagan never had an original thought in his life. Don't you look anything up? It's not that hard Jimbo... Here's what I remember Reagan saying:

"well,,ehhhhhhh......I don't recall."

Reagan not only negoitiated with terrorists, he actually illegaly provided our mortal enemies with weapons and the means to destroy us. He befriended Saddam Hussein,among other infamous dictators, who a mere 20 years later, was portrayed by another Republican admin. as the greatest threat to the world since Hitler.

Since Reagan, the Republican party has been hijacked by the Christian fundamentalists, who seek to impose their values on everyone.

Reagan also ran the country into the greatest debt seen up to that point which has only been surpassed by the current bumbling republican admin.

[Reagan also ran the country into the greatest debt seen up to that point which has only been surpassed by the current bumbling republican admin.]

Well, don't forget your fellow Marxist thugs in ACORN crashing the economy with the help of the Democratic Party while Republicans (like Senator McCain) who tried to stop your socialist garbage-head policies.

Also, keep in mind the Clinton Era book-cooking with regards to playing a rousing game of Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.

Senator McCain just backed a bill, proposed by a republican president, to socialize the banking and finance industry in the United States...´Taking your tax money and using it to bail out greedy, unethical uber-capatialistic finacial institutions.

But we don't call that "redistribution of wealth", do we?

Conservatism did not succeed because of Reagan, Reagan succeeded because of conservatism. Socialism has not worked anywhere, ever... not even when the Japanese tried it in the 1990's. If the Japanese couldn't make soft socialism work, what chance do these clowns have?

wingnutcracker-

First of all: no need to call names, Your Brillianceness.

Second: This election was not a contest between a Conservative and a Liberal. It was between a Socialist Defeatist and a Moderate American Hero. Yes, McCain is on the wrong side of many issues, including some fiscal ones... but he is far less wrong than Obama.

wingnutcracker, drink some more Koolade. When you are standing in a bread line, or worse watching our country under attack, tell me about how wonderful your Messiah is.

You arrogant fools are going to kill us all.

God Bless and Protect our Republic.

Well... at least we're all in good company. Pamela Gellar over at Atlas Shrugs is getting hate mail by the truckload. She posits that it's a case of the hounds being unleashed now that they've won. With their glorious leaders in power they can be as nasty as they want now, and they are taking out every ounce of hatred they've been pumped full of over the last few years on us because they don't have an outlet to spew it on anymore.

Van Helsing is right - when Obama rewrites the constitution, which he's wait for a year or two to do - all our own history will be a distant memory, fading fast because only "justice" and "citizenship" will be taught in class. It's the New World Order. Just THINK about all the classified info Obama can get his hands on and pass on to his neighbors.

Just THINK about all the classified info Obama can get his hands on and pass on to his neighbors.

Oh, come on. Isn't that a little paranoid? You act like he's spent his whole life surrounded by radicals, terrorists, and America-haters or something.

;-)

It will be interesting to see what Obama does when Iran detonates its first nuke - probably within a few months of him taking office.

He will call McCain at 3am

Obama: "John! Iran just detonated a test nuke and the Israeli jets are warming up their engines. WTF do I do now? "

McCain: "Talk to Biden, he is your expert on this subject."

Obama: "Biden? Come on John, seriously. Help me out here."

McCain: " You made your bed, now lie in it ----- [Click] -----"

Obama: "John? John? Dammit!"

Obama: " I want my dead white grammy!!! Waaaaaaaaaahhh !!!"

I only have two words for Wingnutcracker

Caveat emptor !!

Its a high probability that in 1 to 2 years Obama
transports us back to 1930's America. But don't worry, since you voted for him, he will give you a good spot on the bread line.

I hope I am wrong because I don't like to see fellow americans suffer to promote my political leanings. The libtards of the left and the media
on the other hand, made Bushs job nearly impossible to do on a day to day basis. Thanks for the support! NOT

I've heard for years how Bush would not step down and the repubs would steal the election again, if we even had a election. Don't you feel just a little bit silly now after spewing this kind of tripe for years? Now just go away! Pesky insect.

What’s the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?
One’s a flaming Nazi gas-bag and the other is a zeppelin.

Dittoheads unite!

Liberal Trolls,

You guys have to understand, we adults are necessarily upset, because after you've made a mess of things for the next four years, it will take years for us to fix them.

Have your childish fun, then when you're done playing, stand back so we can repair the damage. Thank you.

"What’s the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?
One’s a flaming Nazi gas-bag and the other is a zeppelin."

Wow Just Wow, did you come up with that on your own or did the Local Obamessiah fan club dream it up?

Here's one for you.
What’s the difference between Obamessiah Koolaid drinker and a dead skunk in the road?

Skid marks before the dead skunk.

Again excuse my infantile and, quite frankly, idiotic worldview. You see I take many, many prescription drugs to fight the many, many mental illnesses that I have inherited from my pothead daddy and crack-ho momma. This should be a lesson for all of you, DO NOT DO DRUGS while pregnant. While Obammy is a piece of crapola, I want to say may PALIN RUN in '12.

Go SARACUDA!

I bet you 5 dolla that Obamamama will sell secrets to us Reds for cheaper than that cigar-inserting Clinton. We Chinese laugh at you Yankees for electing that douchebag of a president. Chairman Mao, we have, now you have Chairman O. Ironic?

"But we don't call that "redistribution of wealth", do we?"

~We do. That's why we fought hard against that crap sandwich.

some coward is posting under my name: see above...typical behavior from someone who lacks a counter argument.

Again, Your republican president and your republican candidate for president have just written and backed and passed a bill to soicalize the finance and banking industry in your country, at your expense. No problem? Not socialism?

NudeGay: The economy could not be in any worse shape than it is currently after 8 years of an incompetent administration. Do you read the news? Amazing to me that none of you can recognize the fact that the country has been pushed to the brink of total collapse and ruin on a number of crucial issues after 8 years of Bush/Republican "leadership". It will be the Dems insurmountable job to clean it up. How anyone could look at the results of the past 8 years and feel that America is in a better position than it was at the start is beyond me.

Not only has the Bush admin weakened the country fiscally and psychologically, he has left his party in a shambles, as evidenced by McCain's eagerness to distance himself from him as much as possible. Á horribly run campaign from McCain and a ridiculous vice presidential choice show that the party is in a serious mess after Bush, and it may take years before Republicans can redefine themselves in a way attractive the majority of Americans. Good Luck!

wingnutcracker:

We all hated the bail-out. End of story. Bush is not a conservative. End of story.

Does it burn you up that as much as you hate the GOP and project literally EVERY failure of the Democrat party onto Bush, only 52% of the country voted for Obama? I mean, he outspent McCain nearly 7-1, was riding the coattails of a brutal economic downturn, and he only got 52%. Your side was expecting a landlide. At least 300 electoral votes. 52%. You must hate it. That must be why you're here, even after your man won, spewing hate and garbage as if the election were still going on. Your story is a little sad, to say the least.

Obama did get over 300 elctoral votes a landslide certainly in that sense. Popular vote: 53% to 46% for McCain is a relatively substantial margin.

And where is the hate you refer to? i simply point out how Bush has been an obvious failure and how he has furhter weakned his party. The Republican party has not alwyas been a prisoner of right wing religious extremists, but since the Reagan era they have relied heavily on the Bible belt religious fundamentalists and the wealthy as their base. That apparently isn't enough anymore.

You all hated the bailout? i haven't seen too much complaining or calls of "communist" about Bush and Mccain and the rest of the Republicans who supported the bill.

Seems to me the left has been whining for the last six years that if you play music too loud or turn the air conditioning too high in a cell where a terrorist is being held, they call it torture.

Now, they want to get all technical and claim "spreading the wealth" isn't socialism?

Well, good news...we've got good entertainment in these folks.

Bad news...they are serious.

Let this be a lesson to the Republicans:

Screw your soldiers and this is what you get.

So 9/11 happened, and in we went (yes, me included) to Afghanistan. Great. Wonderful. We're taking out the people who attacked us and set up a terrorist state. But then what do you do before the job is finished, you decide to lie your way into war with a country that has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING except that it has a lot of oil. So you turn the only war worth fighting for into a forgotten war. And now all our work in Aghanistan is being undone because all the resources are going to Iraq. Great job.

Then come the Bush tax cuts...and there go my benefits. The rich men who STARTED the war iterally stole the money out of the pockets of the young men fighting it. When I was doing my second tour (this time in Baghdad) my wife came down with a staff infection back Stateside. Due to cuts in my Tricare benedits, we had to pay over 5K out of pocket for her emergency care. Apparently that little extra luxery for the rich matters more to you than the basic needs of military families.

THEN you Republicans decide to fight AGAINST the GI Bill. Tooth and nail. Including John McCain. A veteran. You then expect me to vote for a man who won't even look out for his own?

THEN you decide to attack people receiving government funds. The last two months all I've heard is that ANYONE living of government money is a louse and a thief and a scavenger. Kind of forgot that us soldiers are PAID in tax dollars. Poorly. And as a result 25% of military families are on welfare. But to you we're just scavengers. Yeah...we don't take kindly to being called losers and scavengers after we fought so YOU don't have to.

I know most people think soldiers are idiots. And you know what, some are. But not as dumb as you think. You guys thought that you could just screw us over again and again but so long as you put those yellow ribbons (made in china) on your cars and said "We support the troops" that we'd think you actually MEANT it.

Actions speak louder than words. I am an independant who ALWAYS voted Republican, but never again.

You betray the troops, you're going to pay. Not only did you loose innumerable votes from toops themselves, we did plenty of campaigning with groups like Iraqi Veterans agains Mccain, and people listened to what we had to say. And they voted Obama.

"Conservatism did not succeed because of Reagan, Reagan succeeded because of conservatism. Socialism has not worked anywhere, ever... "

TRUE socialism, yes. Partial socialism has worked in:

Denmark
The Netherlands
Switzerland
Austria
Germany
Belgium
Lunxemburg
Finland
Norway

Have any of you idiots ever BEEN to any of these countries? It's like going into the future. Their entire NATIONS look like only the wealthiest parts of the US do. Even with the global recession, these nations are being hit MUCH less hard than the United States is, and a recent worldwide poll done by The Metro showed that these socialist nations have the highest government approval rating, are least concerned about the economy, and most optimistic about their countries being able to compete in the global market place.

If you traveled or read books you might know these things.

"The Republican party has not alwyas been a prisoner of right wing religious extremists"

Take your meds nutcracker. Explain to me how the left has not been led by the far left morons from moveon.org, Cindy Shreelan, daily kos, nazi pelosi or Dingy harry? According to the stats, Obammy got a lot of the religious vote. This tells me that those "right wing religious extremeists" now support Chairman O. Makes your point moot. Explain this to me nutcracker: How does Obammy plan to pay for $1,000,000,000,000 in additional programs without taxing anyone making over $42,000/yr. This is why this left wing lunatic will never be better than Jimmy Carter's shoeshine boy.

wingnutcracker:

Unfortunately, I used the last count I had seen from yesterday evening. It's more unfortunate (for you) that you let a single percentage point keep you from understanding my post. Comprehension is crucial, but of course, not expected from from someone with a limited attention span.

You should search through the archives to see what this site actually said about the bail-out, instead of postulating about what wasn't said. You might learn something.

Your argument falls flat because you haven't considered the commonality between the two regions you describe, not that this surprises me. The trend has nothing with the economic system and everything to do with demographics. The people in Northern Europe and richer parts of the US succeed because they're highly intelligent and have strong work ethics. They do well despite the socialist system, not because of it.

Not to mention that the aforementioned countries have had 60+ years of the US picking up the lion's share of their Defense bills. If they'd had to pay to keep the Soviet wolf at bay THEMSELVES, they never could have afforded to crawl so far down the socialist rat-hole.

Yes, I've been overseas. Nice places to visit. Wouldn't want to live there.

I also lived for 3 years in one of the world's great tourist destinations, Yosemite. I made a lot of friends from everywhere on the planet.

Japanese have tons of money and no time. Whirlwind tourists.

The French, as a rule, really are almost as snotty, rude, and elitist as New Yorkers. Most of them (and Germans, Danes, etc.) have tons of time, what with their 9-month-a-year vacations, but not two pennies to rub together. And we were seeing the "rich" ones. The ones who loved America the most? Romanians. Czechs. Poles. Russians. People who had seen the FULL effects of socialism first hand (that Western Europe is sliding towards as we speak). They are now some of our staunchest allies... (well, except Russia). I wonder why that is?

Partial socialism has worked in:

Shana

Incredible that anyone would think that socialism, partial or otherwise has merit in this day and age. I notice Shana didn't include Iceland, or the hellhole England has become in her partial socialism vacation spots.

Also incredible that Germany would be in this list with its high unemployment and with the region's worst economic slump in 15 years.



You know, the DAX Index has dropped 40 percent this year. Europe will enter a recession and the socialists will have no training or skills to rely on other than cleaning fish.

I also don't know what's meant by partial socialism (or Lunxemburg for that matter, but I sure can see the validity in a comparison to the U.S.A.: sarcasm off). My guess is that Shanaliberal took a train trip and became enamoured with a first-time change in scenery and kept a very effusive and bubbling diary throughout.



(just guessing this from): "Have any of you idiots ever BEEN to any of these countries? It's like going into the future."

BTW for full effect, you may want to read that last part in a loud screech.



or from: "a recent worldwide poll done by The Metro showed that these socialist nations have the highest government approval rating, are least concerned about the economy, and most optimistic about their countries being able to compete in the global market place."


Now this I can believe: the Euros have always been a bit self-congratulatory.



Or (as read in a crisp barking sound) from:


If you traveled or read books you might know these things.


Books? We idiots only EAT books, Shana

And what exactly is this mysterious "The Metro" that conducted a world-wide poll? Probably the 'alternative weekly' for Detroit... yeah, that's a prime source.
