I always get a kick out of seeing those billboards, shirts, bumper stickers, etc., that have a picture of GWB and say “Miss me yet?”.

I always think, “how can we possibly miss you? You are still in office!”

Right on, JD!!! I’m convinced more than ever that what we are seeing is planned by the elite ruling class at the expense of the rest of us. Republicans, Democrats, Tea Party, or whatever. It doesn’t matter. People like Beck/Limbaugh/Hannity ad nauseum exist solely to help divide the country and provide distractions.

Philip II, king of Macedon (and some allege that Julius Cesar said this): “Divide and conquer.” Referring to the observation that smaller opponents are easier to manage than larger ones. What would the ruling class do if population actually stood united?

But the situation will get worse. Jobless claims hover around 500,000 again this week and that hasn’t improved much since we gave away the stimulus money over the past two years. The DJ is today again below 10,000. You know Dems religiously attack the wealthy, but it is the wealthy that will soon demand 10% interest, tax free, or bankruptcy is inevitable. And you know, we will pay it and that payment will be paid, not the principle, but just the interest on the debt that the Dems have created. Every time Progressives and Dems scream for more and more, we all suffer. Their giveaway philosophy has made this country amongst the most taxed in the world. Next time, however, it will be a fixed percentage on everyone, not a graduated tax, because of the 10% interest, tax free debt repayment demand for those that can help with their money. And tell me again—what did we get from this latest round of stimulus?

It should be clear from these and other obvious facts whose opinion here is dead wrong (the author and two previous writers), but the November election will make that very clear. A strong return to American capitalism is the only solution (though prayer for change would help), lest we default and become bankrupt like Greece. Then we will have to cut everything 25% or more, UNM and all the supposed gains we have made included. All because of the greed of Democrats.

In response to Docjohns last paragraph…

Dude, WTF are you talking about????? Who said anything about Afghanistan, Poland, Somalia, or anything else in your statement? Get the f**k out of here if you can’t stay on point.

Sorry if it wasn’t obvious. By “May I nominate three absolutely ignorant people?” I mean the writer and the two earlier responders.

Jason – what a breath of fresh air! I was beginning to think I was the only one who saw this country as like a car without brakes & drunks fighting each other for the wheel. Even two years ago I couldn’t imagine who would want custody of this train-wreck of a country. Bush lives! What is the exit strategy….

It is a measure of the corruption of liberal thought and the collapse of its self-confidence that, finding itself so widely repudiated, it resorts reflexively to the cheapest race-baiting (in a colorful variety of forms). Indeed, how can one reason with a nation of pitchfork-wielding mobs brimming with “antipathy toward people who aren’t like them” — blacks, Hispanics, gays and Muslims — a nation that is, as Michelle Obama once put it succinctly, “just downright mean”?

The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November. Not just because the economy is ailing. And not just because Obama over-read his mandate in governing too far left. But because a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them.
