REPUBLICAN RULE NO MORE (256)
wixomwizard: Perhap's...but I have no respect for the person who single handedly is trying to destroy my constitution and way of life.
There's been no time in our nations history where our Constitution and way of life(freedom) have been compromised and demolished more then in the Bush years. Policies were implemented by Bush and his cronies to place restrictions on Americans, nullify areas of our Constitution and alienate our allies all over the world. Plus Bush went to Iraq instead of going to Syria, who was much more of a supporter of terrorism then Hussein.(there were no weapons of mass destruction, just an excuse by Bush and Cheney) Too bad they didn't have the sense to finish the job in Afghanistan, but Bush was determined to defend his "daddy" whom Hussein threatened. Obama hasn't even come close to that, as yet.
You really need to stop listening to Rush and become informed by an unbiased non-political source.
I'm am/was a loyal conservative but Bush & Co changed all that.

In Washington, D.C. an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital and was well known among the elected officials. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see President Obama and Speaker Pelosi before I die", whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Obama and Nancy Pelosi would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Obama commented to Pelosi, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected."
Pelosi agreed that it was a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Obama's hand in his right hand and Pelosi's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally President Obama spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"
The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
"Amen", said Obama.
"Amen", said Pelosi.
The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

Time for a U.S. Revolution - Fifteen Reasons

It is time for a revolution. Government does not work for regular people. It appears to work quite well for big corporations, banks, insurance companies, military contractors, lobbyists, and for the rich and powerful. But it does not work for people.
The 1776 Declaration of Independence stated that when a long train of abuses by those in power evidence a design to reduce the rights of people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is the peoples right, in fact their duty to engage in a revolution.
Martin Luther King, Jr., said forty three years ago next month that it was time for a radical revolution of values in the United States. He preached "a true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies." It is clearer than ever that now is the time for radical change.
Look at what our current system has brought us and ask if it is time for a revolution?
Over 2.8 million people lost their homes in 2009 to foreclosure or bank repossessions - nearly 8000 each day - higher numbers than the last two years when millions of others also lost their homes.
At the same time, the government bailed out Bank of America, Citigroup, AIG, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the auto industry and enacted the troubled asset (TARP) program with $1.7 trillion of our money.
Wall Street then awarded itself over $20 billion in bonuses in 2009 alone, an average bonus on top of pay of $123,000.
At the same time, over 17 million people are jobless right now. Millions more are working part-time when they want and need to be working full-time.
Yet the current system allows one single U.S. Senator to stop unemployment and Medicare benefits being paid to millions.
There are now 35 registered lobbyists in Washington DC for every single member of the Senate and House of Representatives, at last count 13,739 in 2009. There are eight lobbyists for every member of Congress working on the health care fiasco alone.
At the same time, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations now have a constitutional right to interfere with elections by pouring money into races.
The Department of Justice gave a get out of jail free card to its own lawyers who authorized illegal torture.
At the same time another department of government, the Pentagon, is prosecuting Navy SEALS for punching an Iraqi suspect.
The US is not only involved in senseless wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the U.S. now maintains 700 military bases world-wide and another 6000 in the US and our territories. Young men and women join the military to protect the U.S. and to get college tuition and healthcare coverage and killed and maimed in elective wars and being the world's police. Wonder whose assets they are protecting and serving?
In fact, the U.S. spends $700 billion directly on military per year, half the military spending of the entire world - much more than Europe, China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, and Venezuela - combined.
The government and private companies have dramatically increased surveillance of people through cameras on public streets and private places, airport searches, phone intercepts, access to personal computers, and compilation of records from credit card purchases, computer views of sites, and travel.
The number of people in jails and prisons in the U.S. has risen sevenfold since 1970 to over 2.3 million. The US puts a higher percentage of our people in jail than any other country in the world.

Tony, I think Quigley has brought out some good points.
I also agree that it is time.
But knowing that it is time and it actually happening are two different things. I think the government is purposely priming the people for attempting a Revolution. If they are, then they must have a plan for dealing with Revolutionists and Dissenters.
I don't think they want to play Nice either!
It will be a massacre holocaust.
Something is definitely brewing and it's not beer!

Yeah it takes a great deal of intelligence to read from teleprompters and mumble "Ughh" after every word. Reasonably smart?? Our forfathers would be ashamed to see someone steering the wheel that does not even respect our constitution.
I tell you if you find Oblow as being a good speaker you have not heard any good speakers yet.

Fallingman: Seems to me that O'Bama is a good public speaker, reasonably smart and politically centrist. Your forefathers might be surprised about the country you live in but I doubt they would pick on O'bama as the worst thing about it!

wixomwizard: Nobody has to do my thinking for me, I'm quite capable of doing that for myself. BTW I've given 7 years of my life in service to my country...how many have you given in service to your's? Let me guess, 0. It is people like you who enjoy the free ride as long as they don't have to become personally involved with the process. All criticism and no contribution.
IS that what you say to your mother?

sweetowen: My personal forefathers also fought for our country & freedom. My father was in the USAF during the Vietnam Conflict. He saw the demise of our country during the Bush Administration. When I talk politics with him, he couldn't be happier that Bush is out & Obama is trying to turn our battered economy & country back around. He just needs time. We gave Bush 8 years to ruin us, we should at least give Obama that much time, shouldn't we?
I also had a grandfather in the Merchant Marines, one uncle in the Navy, one in the Army, & one in the Marines. If my family doesn't love their country, I don't know whose does.

Republicans "think" they are the only ones with allegiance towards the country - citing all the words of our founding fore-fathers etc............when in fact they're stuck in a time-warp with archaic and antiquated principles that have no constructive application in the modern world ..........

In David Rockefeller's book "Memoirs" he admits that he is part of a secret cabal working to destroy the United States and create a new world order.
Here is the direct quote from his book pg. 405
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." -David Rockefeller
A Revolution would enact Martial Law, removing all Constitutional rights and put the U.S. under U.N. Laws with U.N. police combating the resistors.
Over 900 Prisons have been built in the U.S. recently and are currently unoccupied. WHY? Who do they plan on putting in them?
Do you want to take a guess?
