and allowed however many thousands to struggle through life without government aid, or to do what we have done and now have millions of people who live their whole lives on welfare and have no desire to change?What would have been better for our nation as a whole? To never have imposed or encouraged a welfare state?We should have done with the CONSTITUTION states and that is leave it to the states. There is nothing wrong with California being a socialist state like Europe. However, it is illegal for the federal government to be involved in any social programs (10th Amendment). New York and Alabama have the right to do things differently. Too bad we have an evil tyranical dictatorship in D.C. that steals that right.

I love the sweet stink of far-right mythology.
What would have been better for our nation as a whole? To never have imposed or encouraged a welfare state?
Providing a safety net that provides the basic needs of food, clothing %26amp; shelter is probably something that the government should ensure. But politicians would never leave it at that.
This is proof that democracy cannot last because people will sooner or later figure out that they can vote themselves money out of the state treasury. That is what the welfare programs are doing.
Second option is the lesser of two evils. I think we can revamp welfare to get rid of the useless undeserving (and we should).
The greatest recipient of welfare, however, is business. Corporate welfare. From subsidies to the bailout (even Obama is guilty). Corporate welfare.

To never have imposed or encouraged a welfare state?The former, because many millions of people have become dependent who otherwise would not have.
People used to rely on neighbors, churches and charities for help. these people and institutions could refuse people who they thought were undeserving. Now, a giant bureaucracy just doles out taxpayer money to as many people as possible, to garner votes for those giving the Treasury away.
We are in much worse shape now. Even FDR said that welfare payments have a %26quot;narcotic%26quot; effect on those who receive them.
What would have been better for our nation as a whole? To never have imposed or encouraged a welfare state?
Maybe this is what Marx intuited when he said capitalism inevitably leads to class struggles.

living on welfare is not an easy life
all people see is someone getting something for nothing
it appears this way but the things these people give up for that little bit
of money is not worth it to the average person
some people will always take advantage of the system
but they are the real losers in any society

"The US is not a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation we are just citizens" is this change?
Has Obama let you down?%26quot;The US is not a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation we are just citizens%26quot; is this change?when all the christians can get together and elect a bumbling idiot like Bush to the highest office in the land, then it is a christian nation. like it or not.
%26quot;The US is not a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation we are just citizens%26quot; is this change?
It's not change because the U.S. has never been a Christian nation. I'm glad Obama said it.
%26quot;The US is not a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation we are just citizens%26quot; is this change?
wtf lol
the christians took over...the nation was intended as secular
what does this have to do with Obama?
No that is a statement of reality.
Certainly not since our constitution was adopted.
I didn't feel a boost with my tax return... where's the stimulation?
ahhhhhhhh I'm so glad I'm Canadian.
*rolls eyes*
Obama is right. were not a christian nation. sure christianity is the majority but that doesnt mean that christianity is the national religon seeing we have %26quot;FREEDOM OF RELIGION%26quot;
The US has always been a secular nation with a majority of Christians.
This is nothing new.
It's not a change unless you hadn't ever bothered to read the U.S. Constitution and the accompanying Bill of Rights (aka the first ten amendments). Did you flunk political science and history in school?
No it's not change, it's been true for around 200 or so years since this nation was founded.....
No. Obama hasn't let me down with that. He's acknowledging the simple reality of what this country is. The minute you say, %26quot;This is a Christian nation,%26quot; you make the rest of us second class citizens that you are just putting up with. Nevermind that many of us were born here, raised here, educated here, defended this country, and made significant contributions to our communities.
We are not a Christian nation. We are all Americans who happen to be Christians, atheists, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Pagans, Taoists, Hindus, etc.
Nope. Obama has the guts to say what the Constitution and the Treaty of Tripoli has said for 200+ years now.
I am very glad he got around to saying that, guess what? We're not all Christian or Muslim or Jewish. - COEXIST
The correct quote is:
%26quot;Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.%26quot;
- Barack Obama
No, our president has not let me down at all. I am proud that we elected an intelligent man for a change.
There is only one group that are gonna feel like losers and I am glad.
I didnt vote for Obama, but I agree with that statement
%26quot;As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;%26quot;
From the Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously approved by the Senate and signed by John Adams in 1797.
the united states was never centered around one religion....that's why the constitution gives us all the freedom to choose our own faith.
Obama hasn't changed a damn thing...he's just shuffled things around to give off the appearance of change.
Obama is going to take us places where even angels fear to tread . But the wise knew this BEFORE he became president .
Obama is my hero.
The %26quot;change%26quot; is that people in power are beginning to recognize that fact.
its a stolen and murdered indian nation? your christian or already dead .
Unfortunately, He is doing exactly what I believed he would do when
he was running for office. That is why I did more in this election to
have a candidate elected than I ever have. I did not want Mr. Obama,
and I cried the night he won.
I knew anyone who associated with as many criminals, and in fact
lived in the little block with them, and was a liberal as he was would
be trouble for our nation, as if we didn't have enough.
He has a Socialist leaning and I am afraid that is where he hopes to
take our nation. But people were so in awe of him, they couldn't
seem to see. Like they were mesmerized by him. People did want
change but %26quot;jumping out of the frying pan into the fire is change,
but I don't want it. If people could take their blinders off long enough
to see Mr. Obama as he really is, they would realize he is not for
what is good for our nation's people.
Well what is a christian? Many people call themselves this just because they live in the USA and believe there's a higher power. The devil believes in God and trembles.
It is change and it could not have come at a worse time. I don't think Obama said anything about not being a Muslim nation. There are many citizens who fear Obama is preparing to make us a Muslim nation.
Do you remember exactly when the economy began to go down the drain? If I am not mistaken, our economy was doing fine until anti-war groups began to make %26quot;America Hates God%26quot; posters.
America needs God and all men, women, and children who hate him needs to change their minds, and love and accept him and his son, Jesus Christ.
It is Judeo-Christian. Obama and McCain wore a kippa in Israel.
Supreme Court determined that the United States was a Christian nation in the 1892 case, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 143 U.S. 226 (1892).
===========================
Justice Brewer then recounted the central role played by faith in the history of America:
the commission to Christopher Columbus (%26quot;Ferdinand and Isabella, by the grace of God, King and Queen of Castile ... it is hoped that by God's assistance some of the continents and islands in the ocean will be discovered ....%26quot;)
the first colonial grant to Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584 (from %26quot;Elizabeth, by the grace of God, of England, Fraunce and Ireland, queen, defender of the faith%26quot; authorizing him to enact statutes for the government of the proposed colony provided that %26quot;they be not against the true Christian faith now professed in the Church of England%26quot;)
the colonial charters to the fundamental orders of Connecticut (%26quot;Forasmuch as it hath pleased the Allmighty God by the wise disposition of his diuyne prudence so to Order and dispose of things that we the Inhabitants and Residents of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfield are now cohabiting and dwelling in and vapor the River of Conectecotte and the Lands thereunto adioyneing; And well knowing where a people are gathered together the word of God requires that to maintain the peace and union of such a people there should be an orderly and decent Gouerment established according to God, to order and dispose of the affairs of the people at all seasons as occasion shall require; doe therefore associate and conioyne our soleus to be as one Publike State or Comonwelth; and doe, for our soleus and our Successors and such as shall be adjoined to vs at any time hereafter, enter into Combination and Confederation together, to maintain and pressure the liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord Jesus which we now profess, as also the discipline of the Churches, which according to the truth of the said gospel is now practised amongst vs.%26quot;)
the Declaration of Independence (%26quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.%26quot;)
the State Constitutions (Illinois, 1870: %26quot;We, the people of the State of Illinois, grateful to Almighty God for the civil, political and religious liberty which He hath so long permitted us to enjoy, and looking to Him for a blessing upon our endeavors to secure and transmit the same unimpaired to succeeding generations ....%26quot;)
the familiar requirement that all officers shall take an oath ending in %26quot;so help me God.%26quot;
Justice Brewer, writing for the Court, stated that:
%26quot;Even the Constitution of the United States, which is supposed to have little touch upon the private life of the individual, contains in the First Amendment a declaration common to the constitutions of all the States, as follows: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' etc. And also provides in Article 1, section 7, (a provision common to many constitutions,) that the Executive shall have ten days (Sundays excepted) within which to determine whether he will approve or veto a bill.
The Court concluded:
%26quot;There is no dissonance in these declarations. There is a universal language pervading them all, having one meaning; they affirm and reaffirm that this is a religious nation. These are not individual sayings, declarations of private persons: they are organic utterances; they speak the voice of the entire people.%26quot;
The US is a Christian nation. 70% of Americans are Christian.

Do you think the Endangered Species Act should be strengthened to protect the nation's overall biodiversity?
(For example, should it be applied to climate change as a form of endangerment?) Or should the Endangered Species Act be rewritten to benefit commercial interests such as logging, mining, oil and gas?Do you think the Endangered Species Act should be strengthened to protect the nation's overall biodiversity?No. I think it should be repealed. There are now too many whales. Japan is doing good by reducing their numbers a little. We need more of this. And there are way too many sea lions on the CA coast, they are wrecking the abalone population. We need a hunting season for them.
Do you think the Endangered Species Act should be strengthened to protect the nation's overall biodiversity?
It has it's good points, but can be carried to far, such as California outlawing lead bullets for hunting because Condors %26quot;might%26quot; eat the lead when scavenging a carcass. Never mind that MOST hunting is done for food animals and there is NO carcass left.
As to climate change. Since the %26quot;experts%26quot; are lucky to get the weather report correct 24 HOURS in advance LOCALLY, what makes you think they know enough to predict GLOBAL weather and/or effects YEARS in advance?
In some cases, you have competing groups trying to protect different animals in the same area, where the requirements for one are detrimental to the other. Which one is more important.
Then cost/benefit ratios. IF the costs exceed the benefits, should the money be spent, jobs lost, at a %26quot;net loss%26quot; to the people, and the economy?
Nothing is free and there are always costs!
Do you think the Endangered Species Act should be strengthened to protect the nation's overall biodiversity?
As it stands now, it can be enforced. Expand it the way you want to and the only ones who would benefit would be the lawyers. And they are already a pest species.cheap web host xp

It took some time after World War I for the U.S. to accept its role as a great power and influence on world?
power and influence on world politics. Not only did the nation have to deal with the Great Depression, but social and technological changes were sweeping into every corner. Would the participation of the US have saved the League of Nations? What other changes were caused by the popularity of the automobile? Which of the causes of the Great Depression may recur today? What changes had to be made to end the Depression?It took some time after World War I for the U.S. to accept its role as a great power and influence on world?I think if the US had been part of the League of Nations, they still would just have diddle daddled exactly like everybody else. The League of Nations was a glorified debating club.
The causes of the Great Depression that may recur today was easy credit. Everyone was buying shares in companies on credit, hoping to make a fortune. When some of those shares began to be sold, loans were called in, and everything disintegrated right there. Shares in stocks supposedly worth thousand turned into pennies, and so millions were lost. Today, easy credit has cvome back. Even if shares are bought with real money, the people who buy them are living on enormous amount of credit. Even teenagers ahve credit cards. People with next to no income are given credit cards for up to $10,000. Eventually, that has to bust.

Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?
Let's face it, the chinese population in singapore outnumbers the malays and other races by at least 20-1.
The government is practically shoving mandrain down everybody's throats.
Why should the national anthem be sung in an INSIGNIFICANT language that is used in only one small corner of the world? It's not even a universal language of trade or commerce.
Yet children as young as 7 are forced to sing it in schools - in a language they don't even understand. You don't believe me, you ask any chinese kid to translate the national anthem.
Bet you nobody that isn't a malay can tell you what they're even singing. For all we know the anthem could be insulting our mothers.Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?We should keep the Singapore National Anthem in original Malay language, to act as a REMINDER to the non-Malays that Singapore wasn't always a part of China... :-)
Our Malay people are already so disenchanted with life here, and have grievances at how they have been relegated to almost 2nd-class citizens and lost many privileges in what's supposed to be their motherland...
So come on lah... Let us have our National Anthem in Malay, the only thing in Singapore that the Malay people can tell others with pride. When you take it away, I shall say that the Singapore Malay people might as well not exist anymore, and let the Chinese do whatever you like... Malay may be an insignificant language to YOU, but it means something to the Malay people...
As for the excuse that Chinese kids cannot understand, I have taught your wonderful Chinese kids before, and basically they don't respect the National Anthem at all, no matter what's the language... They can sing it in Mandarin, but since they know Mandarin, they can easily change it so that they purposely insult their own mothers... :-)
So I hope I have made a passionate plea why we should keep the anthem in Malay. MAJULAH SINGAPURA !!
A compromise: Let's keep the Malay version as the primary version... We can sing it in English, Mandarin, %26amp; Tamil sometimes in schools. But on National Day, the original Malay version must be sung.
Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?
During National Day , PM speak 4 Luggage. and our main 4 Luggage is all accepted in Government sector . our National Song ' mujira Singapora %26quot; will never change.and all this will going ......no end. Singaporean speak good English (no me ,ha ha ) because of business,China is one of the bigger ,we lean Chinese, during 70%26quot; many people lean Japanese. but for Nation, still main 4. one day, egg,if Philippines is the world strong countries , we will lean Takalo .
Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?
Change to English! or just lalalala ,like Spain's national anthem.
How many pple is actually proud of Pre-British Malay era fishing village Temasek?? It is the British and all the migrants that built this island, not those Malay rulers who happily gave away the island for ringgits.
Keep it the way it is, or make it Singlish. Speak good Singlish campaign - that should be the latest one. I don't speak good Singlish and it might help me learn.
Simple. The original writer is a malay. The kids will learn the translation in their music lesson as a test and there is translation in their student homework diary(if they have one).
the only problem is they forget to teach you malay , which is use in four corners from the island................lol
Yeah sure change the anthem. Why stop there, what about the pledge, there are very very low number of British born immigrants, so why bother keeping it in English. At 20-1 majority, let's change everything to Mandarin. I agree that no one other than the Malays understand the meaning of the anthem anyway. So, since the government is shoving Mandarin down our throats, change it to Mandarin.
I should commend you on your foresight and your great disregard to other insignificant races in Singapore.
I always thought that Singapore is a melting pot of all races and your pledge says, %26quot;Regardless of race, language or religion.%26quot;. So, probably the pledge is also outdated, afterall it was drafted in the 1960s, now in the 21st Century, shouldn't it reflect the popular feeling incline with the majority?
You have raised a good case for a change based on your arguments. However, I have some points, which you and my fellow Singaporeans might want to consider:
a. Yes, the Chinese are a majority in Singapore, and most of them speak Chinese, so why not change the anthem to Chinese. Yes, let's, but then, I heard that amongst the Chinese in Singapore, the Hokkiens are the largest dialect group...so, let's make the National Anthem into the Hokkien Dialect.
b. Yes, the Government is %26quot;practically shoving%26quot; Mandarin down everyone's throat...if the Government is doing it, IT MUST BE RIGHT....so, let's outlaw all other languages and dialects...it will be easier for all Singaporeans to talk to each other.
c. Yes, the Government also %26quot;practically gave away citizenship to Chinese (Hong Kongers/Chinese nationals), because they saw that the other minority races were reproducing much more than the Chinese and the percentage of the Chinese was dipping. Why stop there, let's sterliise, every women of the minority race, once they reach %26quot;child bearing age%26quot;, that would solve this problem.
c. Yes, why sing the anthem in an insignificant language? Why sing it in a language that Chinese children do not understand? Why stop there? Why should the same children, be made to share schools, with children of other races, respect the cultures and religion of others. Might as well, put the children of the insignificant races, into an insignificant school where they can all be insignificant and learn insignificant languages and lead insignificant lives.
I hope, I have given you an idea of what will happen, if we decide that %26quot;something or someone is insignificant just because of their minority status%26quot;...especially something that is close to a person's heart as language naturally is.
I seriously hope that your question, posted was in %26quot;tongue in cheek%26quot;. Singapore (even before it was known as Temasek or Temasik), has been a part of the %26quot;Malay Land%26quot;, this is our historical heritage..and we are rightfully proud of it.
The fact that despite, living in a little island surrounded by millions of Malays (Indonesians - included), Singapore has proven that by working together and respecting each other, people of all races, culture, religion and LANGUAGE, can co-exist and prosper as one.
The Anthem is sung in Malay, firstly, to acknowledge our heritage (physical), and the pride we feel as immigrants in a new land, who have succeded, and most importantly, so that the beautiful words contained in it...resonates amongst our neighbours (who understand malay), that Singapreans are united, they stand tall and are proud of Singapore.
For your information, just in case, you are interested, many of the civil wars, and mindless killings, going around the world were started because of such, line of logic.....Majority is Right and Might!
I fear the day, when more of my fellow Singaporeans, think like you do....and I will do my part to erase such bigotry and dangerous prejudical inklings.
MAJULAH SINGAPURA!
The government is practically shoving mandrain down everybody's throats.
Why should the national anthem be sung in an INSIGNIFICANT language that is used in only one small corner of the world? It's not even a universal language of trade or commerce.
Yet children as young as 7 are forced to sing it in schools - in a language they don't even understand. You don't believe me, you ask any chinese kid to translate the national anthem.
Bet you nobody that isn't a malay can tell you what they're even singing. For all we know the anthem could be insulting our mothers.Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?We should keep the Singapore National Anthem in original Malay language, to act as a REMINDER to the non-Malays that Singapore wasn't always a part of China... :-)
Our Malay people are already so disenchanted with life here, and have grievances at how they have been relegated to almost 2nd-class citizens and lost many privileges in what's supposed to be their motherland...
So come on lah... Let us have our National Anthem in Malay, the only thing in Singapore that the Malay people can tell others with pride. When you take it away, I shall say that the Singapore Malay people might as well not exist anymore, and let the Chinese do whatever you like... Malay may be an insignificant language to YOU, but it means something to the Malay people...
As for the excuse that Chinese kids cannot understand, I have taught your wonderful Chinese kids before, and basically they don't respect the National Anthem at all, no matter what's the language... They can sing it in Mandarin, but since they know Mandarin, they can easily change it so that they purposely insult their own mothers... :-)
So I hope I have made a passionate plea why we should keep the anthem in Malay. MAJULAH SINGAPURA !!
A compromise: Let's keep the Malay version as the primary version... We can sing it in English, Mandarin, %26amp; Tamil sometimes in schools. But on National Day, the original Malay version must be sung.
Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?
During National Day , PM speak 4 Luggage. and our main 4 Luggage is all accepted in Government sector . our National Song ' mujira Singapora %26quot; will never change.and all this will going ......no end. Singaporean speak good English (no me ,ha ha ) because of business,China is one of the bigger ,we lean Chinese, during 70%26quot; many people lean Japanese. but for Nation, still main 4. one day, egg,if Philippines is the world strong countries , we will lean Takalo .
Should the nation anthem be changed to Mandarin or English?
Change to English! or just lalalala ,like Spain's national anthem.
How many pple is actually proud of Pre-British Malay era fishing village Temasek?? It is the British and all the migrants that built this island, not those Malay rulers who happily gave away the island for ringgits.
Keep it the way it is, or make it Singlish. Speak good Singlish campaign - that should be the latest one. I don't speak good Singlish and it might help me learn.
Simple. The original writer is a malay. The kids will learn the translation in their music lesson as a test and there is translation in their student homework diary(if they have one).
the only problem is they forget to teach you malay , which is use in four corners from the island................lol
Yeah sure change the anthem. Why stop there, what about the pledge, there are very very low number of British born immigrants, so why bother keeping it in English. At 20-1 majority, let's change everything to Mandarin. I agree that no one other than the Malays understand the meaning of the anthem anyway. So, since the government is shoving Mandarin down our throats, change it to Mandarin.
I should commend you on your foresight and your great disregard to other insignificant races in Singapore.
I always thought that Singapore is a melting pot of all races and your pledge says, %26quot;Regardless of race, language or religion.%26quot;. So, probably the pledge is also outdated, afterall it was drafted in the 1960s, now in the 21st Century, shouldn't it reflect the popular feeling incline with the majority?
You have raised a good case for a change based on your arguments. However, I have some points, which you and my fellow Singaporeans might want to consider:
a. Yes, the Chinese are a majority in Singapore, and most of them speak Chinese, so why not change the anthem to Chinese. Yes, let's, but then, I heard that amongst the Chinese in Singapore, the Hokkiens are the largest dialect group...so, let's make the National Anthem into the Hokkien Dialect.
b. Yes, the Government is %26quot;practically shoving%26quot; Mandarin down everyone's throat...if the Government is doing it, IT MUST BE RIGHT....so, let's outlaw all other languages and dialects...it will be easier for all Singaporeans to talk to each other.
c. Yes, the Government also %26quot;practically gave away citizenship to Chinese (Hong Kongers/Chinese nationals), because they saw that the other minority races were reproducing much more than the Chinese and the percentage of the Chinese was dipping. Why stop there, let's sterliise, every women of the minority race, once they reach %26quot;child bearing age%26quot;, that would solve this problem.
c. Yes, why sing the anthem in an insignificant language? Why sing it in a language that Chinese children do not understand? Why stop there? Why should the same children, be made to share schools, with children of other races, respect the cultures and religion of others. Might as well, put the children of the insignificant races, into an insignificant school where they can all be insignificant and learn insignificant languages and lead insignificant lives.
I hope, I have given you an idea of what will happen, if we decide that %26quot;something or someone is insignificant just because of their minority status%26quot;...especially something that is close to a person's heart as language naturally is.
I seriously hope that your question, posted was in %26quot;tongue in cheek%26quot;. Singapore (even before it was known as Temasek or Temasik), has been a part of the %26quot;Malay Land%26quot;, this is our historical heritage..and we are rightfully proud of it.

For upliftment the needy in the society be categorised and whatsoever help required be suggested through involving expertise of that fields.
Social works, like improving environment(through Plantations),regular improvement in road,drainage etc.

this leader will soon be recognized by his people and they will support him to a platform.......
Always remember it is about the people that do and perform, not about the promises not recieved yet said.

Did you ever imagine you would see the level of Arrogance as we are witnessing in the White House today?
It's nothing new for advocates of socialism, isolationism, appeasement, multiculturalism, defeatism and American non-exceptionalism to flex their muscles and gain power for a time. But expecting to effect such far-reaching and potentially devastating changes to this nation in the name of unity is breathtakingly arrogant.
IMHO
Love, DocDid you ever imagine you would see the level of Arrogance as we are witnessing in the White House today?Is your memory so short that you've already forgotten 9 months ago?
What astounds me, is the very same people who put us into this recession, are the ones screaming about the %26quot;damage%26quot; to the country they think Obama's causing.
Why should the rest of us believe that you know what you're talking about now, when you obviously had no clue a year ago?
Did you ever imagine you would see the level of Arrogance as we are witnessing in the White House today?
I find it incredibly amusing how the %26quot;common people%26quot; are savvy about current events and pay attention to what is happening in our government system.
And then at the town hall meetings, a lot of intelligent questions are being asked, then dodged by the arrogant representatives.
I think a lot of these career politicians are going to see the end of their cushy jobs.
Maybe if they had town hall meetings more often, especially before a bill is up for debate and voting, the government officials would vote more for what the people want, not what the lobbyists are going to pay them to vote an opposite way.
Did you ever imagine you would see the level of Arrogance as we are witnessing in the White House today?
I believe that it's better than the underhanded and shady dealings of the last administration. Gee the last administration allowed the banks to offer shady mortgages to people who couldn't afford them, companies to cut jobs after disasters, 9-11, and force people to see that no matter what you did, if you made $100 k a year you were not immune to the inevitable foreclosures and job cuts.
Please send me a link to review your credentials to your claim to your Doctorate.
Please remember that all opinions stink, just like the ones who have them.
If you consider having a sense of vision, and the guts to try to implement that vision as arrogance, then so be it. Tom Ridge said yesterday that he was pressured by the Bush.....or should I say the Cheney Administration to raise the Homeland Security terrorist alert level right before the 2004 election. If that isn't the height of arrogance, I don't know what is. Imagine that.
I saw if nearly two years ago and tried to inform people, but they were entranced by this empty suite who has nothing but contempt for the American people, the American culture and the American political process. He is a contemptible man bent on changing America into his Marxist utopia. Fortunately the American people cannot be fooled for too long.
After just about everyone I voted for lost the election, I sincerely hoped he would be true to his word, cut gov't pork, balance the budget, be transparent, and effect healthy change (like repeal the patriot act)...
Great disappointment by another elected official and, no, I expected him to be a man of his word. This arrogance is going to make our grandchildren suffer greatly.
Aren't you glad you now owe $35,000 (and rising) as your part of the deficit?
well mr doctor, you dont deserve all the money youve been making, i know you went to college and med school and worked really hard, but ya know you dont deserve it, socialized medicine is the wave of the future you can now make as much as a plumber, hows that for incentive
Let each state have a recall of these left wing, socialist, fascist, communist, pro pooh ranger fag, perverts then recall the head moron in the Whitehouse trying to turn this Country into IRAN so he can be the head Muslim over all of us so called infidels. Get Rid of O'boo boo who is Satan's boy. Did anyone check out the 666 on his head?
Yeah...wow....right?.....arrogance in the White House...never seen this level before....I mean the only way it could get any worse would be if they invadaed countries who didn't attack us....fixed intelligence....tortured people...did nothing for the American people.....and couldn't think of anything they had done wrong in 8 years in office.
Well said. The thing that is most irritating is the way he can make the most outlandish proposals and his sycophants hear only his voice but not the words. Also, no one ever calls him on his reversals of campaign propaganda.
Pffft.
%26quot;Arrogance%26quot;? Really? thy name is BUSH and we breathed the vile stench for eight long miserable years.
*laughable that you guys can't even come up with any original adjectives*
This isn't socialism, but I digress, imagine it? I saw it the entire 8 years Bush was in the White House, this is nothing new.
no. i dont see it that way at all. actually i thought people were accusing him of being too humble. i like the way you worded your question though.
the humility displayed by this Administration is refreshing after the last 8 years
Thanks for asking
BTW, are you really a doctor or do you just play one on yahoo?
LOL.. The current level of arrogance in the White House has been around since the country was founded. All politicians are arrogant
Obama is doing a wonderful job as Pres, so happy he's in the white house now. There's a black man, in the white house! WOO HOO!
lol, you call that arrogance? After 8 years of Bush, Obama's humbleness actually angers me.
What's amazing to me is that you try to pass yourself off as a physician. Now THAT's arrogance.
History shows that fascists and socialists fall farther from the height of arrogance they climb toward
Yes.
Everyone knew Obama was a prick. At least I did.
No. I have never seen an administration or a Congress mock and insult the people they represent. Never.
Arrogance as in telling us Iraq has WMD's when all reports say they don't???
Yes it was obvious that he and his would be as such
No....after George Bush, I NEVER thought I'd see the level of arrogance this low again.
If you think that you have better ideas than the President of the United States, why not run for the office?
And the sheep blindly follow....
Obama is a clown
the clown that must go down.
%26quot;DOWN WITH THE CLOWN%26quot;

How can a common man bring in REFORMS for development of nation?
REFORMS :
1.To uplift weaker section of society
2.Bringing in positive change in various grief stricken departments of government
How can he actively participate in so called 'systems' %26amp; improve it ?How can a common man bring in REFORMS for development of nation?First he should be aware of what is going around him. He should identify the 'weaker' sections of society. Start at the local level. First in his own village. He should be able to identify the cause of the problem and suggest solutions to eliminate the cause, then only the problem is completely solved.
He should be bold and should not hesitate if no one is there to back him. If there is opposition, rather than not paying heed to it and standing one;s ground stubbornly, he should listen carefully. So that he can counter each of their counterclaims if not then, after a certain period, by considering those points also.
And believe me, if he thinks he can actively participate after entering the so called systems, that would be a really difficult task, bcoz the entire system would be against any active member.
excellent example of common man making a difference in society is
1) Policing of a colony by its own residents (in chennai,India...that was the first I heard, don't know if it was there else where)
2) Waste disposal and recycling by kudumbashree workers
3) kudumbashree is an excellent example through which many women gained independence(they have lots of other work communities).
How can a common man bring in REFORMS for development of nation?
contest an election and fetch some powerful post...
vote suitable candidates in elections...
be a part of some genuine NGO...
How can a common man bring in REFORMS for development of nation?
why cannot. u can submit your ideas to your mla. he may bring this as bill in assembly if it is passed then reforms will be implemented.
Gandhi said, one must be the change he wants to see in the world. Hope that helps.
He shud Tip respective Government Department or Heads, so that at an appropriate approval of his ideas will yeild fruits.
It is the properway of doing instead of joining political party and confuse people with much more new entrants.
Aim is to reform, for which above proper channel is useful

Senator Obama or Clinton would move our nation in the right direction. Do you strongly agree?
Democrats and Republicans alike are ready to unite around one of these visionary candidates. They both are ready and have the experience to take America to the next level. It's time for a change. It's time to take off the garments of the past and exchange them for new garments of positive change in America and the International community.
The world is waiting for this new direction in our leadership. It's time, it's time, it's time.Senator Obama or Clinton would move our nation in the right direction. Do you strongly agree?The world is desperate to see a moderate, level-headed actor on the stage representing America again. Obama is the candidate they'd prefer, and most Americans seem to agree.

Marxist Socialism is the right path!
Senator Obama or Clinton would move our nation in the right direction. Do you strongly agree?
I think we need to a Democrat to run this country. We need some change. This nation needs to become conservative again. But, only one of those people are best qualified.
Strongly disagree.
no thanks. I'll take McCain who has already proven himself to be bipartisan and his votes show it. Obama has only spoken about it and his votes don't reflect any of it...
What direction? Breaking rules and laws to get what you want? :-)
WRONG !!!
Yes. If we want to become Communists.
Cool!!!
I strongly disagree. You're spewing the same substance-less fluff the democratic candidates are. %26quot;Change%26quot; is not a political strategy. You said a lot of pretty sounding words that don't MEAN anything, just like Clinton and Obama. Go form your own country and take them with you to run it into the ground and leave the rest of us alone. Most Republicans have such a passionate dislike and distrust of both of them that either one would be a much greater force of polarization than unity.
I think either could be a good president. I hope Clinton's zeal to win doesn't cause her to shred the party and the success they've been enjoying with voters.
After the lies and distortions-Weapons of Mass Deception is the only thing we found! Certainly Senator Obama would be a great change.
This republican will never get behind either of these candidates. I strongly disagree.
I strongly disagree. I believe in the constitution of the USA. Obama and Clinton both want to trash the constitution.
STRONGLY DISAGREE!!!!!!!!!! Would you like for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to have the name Barack HUSSEIN Obama??!!!!
The right direction is to begin the criminal investigations into the UnAmerican Bush activities, Blackwater, murder, torture, tax giveaways, oil prices, crimes against the peace, crimes against humanity. Hit 'em hard and make 'em stick - for the future of our country. Whichever person can best do that would be our best choice as president.
You sound like an Obama speech. All puppies and candies and completely empty. Nobody can unite all people, it's impossible. Democrats won't even unite now that the party has been fractured. So, I strongly disagree.
Not a chance. They'd both overspend on different things and further trash our economy by printing more fiat money to cover shortfalls.
It sure is time for a change.
However, the name is 'Ron Paul', not Obama or Clinton. Those two aren't a change, just new names.
I STRONGLY DISAGREE !!!
We need Socialist Democrats in office like Germany needed Hitler !!!
Obama more so
I think that Clinton = more of the same, Obama offers a change.

Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
It clearly acts like an imperial nation through %26quot;regime change%26quot; but that seems to backfire a TON. When will the US start conquering countries and replacing the foreign governments with US administrations?
The first territory conquered could be called Area 1 or State 51 or something like that.
Also, why haven't the islands off the coast of the US joined as states yet? There are so many of them! We could probably add another 10 states alone just from these islands.
For those who ask why: Obviously, you don't understand imperialism, to conquer, that has been the TOTAL history of this world, 7000 years and still we have the same system!Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?I thought I answered this already
because We need to be more land, maybe one underwater
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
don't you listen to obama? he said he has visited 57 states, and he had hoped to visit two more!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtI鈥?/a>
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
Because the U.S.A. is not an imperialistic nation that's why. What did you do? Read a book?

Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
Because Puerto Rico said no thanks.
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
%26quot;keep hope child our final solution is yet to come%26quot;
McCain/Palin 08
Now we have nukes! Should we take the chance and piss off another country and just have the world obliterated?
Puerto Rico would be the 51st, but why would they want it? Right now they have all the benefits of being a US state and they don't have to pay taxes! (oh, and they have both the US holidays and their holidays, talk about a happy island!)
I don't know if you're serious or not but I really REALLY think we should invade and annex Canada. They have natural resources and the second largest oil reserves in the world. That's crucial.
I think one day our commonwealth such as Gaum and Even Porta Rico may one day , I hope will be our 51st and 52nd state, but these people would have to want to be a state, or they just might become there own country. America But yes I see your point, we have been an imperial type of nation. We push our views on the world.

It took over Cuba and the Philippines as colonies losing Cuba in 1961 to Castro and granting sovereignty to the Philippines on July 4, 1946, although maintaining control of a number of military bases until the 1980's.
Hawaii was a British Island stolen by stealth by the US.
Texas and California were parts of Mexico until taken by force by the US.
It still acts as an Imperialistic nation by its actions around the world, invading independent countries and destabilising others.
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
You are right. America has taken a lot of oversea territory all over the world. But there is no 51st state because the local people are not strong enough to form a state government. California was an example: it wasn't a state until people in California formed a local government and sent the request to be a state.make a comforter how do i do it programming

i know america is an empire but im not sure if thats same as imperial nation.

We are trying to establish peace, not create more fueds with other countries...come on now!
that Jenna R girl keeps saying people are racist to blacks..whats her problem?
because the USA is now bankrupt
The US should add Mexico as the 51st State.
Then require that all new US flags be manufactured there. Then sold @ a 1000% markup and taxed @ 100%.
Wow !
I just solved:
Illegal immigration
National deficit
Return of textile manufacturing from overseas
Border patrol
Everyone would have a new flag
Increased the size of the country by some crazy - assed percentage
It still won't kill racism. Only time will tell if it CAN be killed.

Other places need not become a US state to be under control of the US.
First there are places like US Virgin Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico that fall under the governance of the US. Puerto Rico uses the American dollar and US postage amoung other things. The US governs all kinds of places with puppet governments and coercion. Hawaii became a state under the coercive tactics of the US. The Philippines was under direct control and was given independence which really meant it was controlled by the puppet dictator Marcos.
Cuba was taken by the US and given independence but the US had written into the independence agreement that the US reserved the right to change any Cuban law as it saw fit. Then Fidel's revolution claimed real independence.
Panama was run by the CIA asset and puppet Noriega for years. Chile was run by the cruel General Pinochet, also a US puppet who agreed to stop any land reform beneficial to the Chilean people or any nationalization of anything.
Nicaragua's US puppet was the Samosa family who consistently acted against the needs of the Nicaraguan people in favour of themselves and the US.
Saddam was a cruel puppet of the US and a CIA asset since he was 22 years old and attempted, with CIA control, the assassination of Iraq's leader in 1958.
Georgia has become a US puppet with an American educated leader, American armed and train military, many military advisers throughout the country and untold amount of CIA assets. We can continue.
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
It's all about the stars on the flag. 51 would be so awkward.
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet, why isn't the US an imperial nation?
We have 58 states!
Ask Obama.
He visited 57 of them and had ONE MORE to go.
i know puerto rico isn't a state because they voted against being one, even though that means they're considered a US territory and can't vote
It is a new imperialism done by corporations instead of governements. Watch zeigeistmovie.com and zeitgeistaddendum. They will explain it better than anybody here.
we cant afford the ones we have,how many lies do you have to hear,the city says if we build more houses your water rates will go down,your property taxes will go down,the largest employer of any big city is government,that never goes down,california is broke because they have to pay for illegals,thankyou liberals
because the way the world works right now, and because of world war 2. if we went to conquer, say, Mexico or Canada, we would end with the entire world pitting against us and the US being destroyed. the island off the coast have not been turned into states because as territories, the people there get almost all of the benefits of being a state without having to pay taxes.
Because Canada doesn't want any more provinces.
Have you ever heard of NAFTA, CAFTA, and MEFTA? As the EU has shown free trade is the first step taken towards countries merging into larger entities. The Dollar is already the most trusted currency in the world. And English is already the language of the world. We're taking over other countries. But we're not doing it by force. If you can get people in other countries to enjoy the lifestyle that American companies can provide (Walmart, McDonalds, Boeing, etc), you're already turning them into Americans without them actually realizing it. It's a way to conquer a country without even firing a shot.

Didn't Obama say he'd been to 57 states?
because your weird
Why hasn't the US added a 51st state yet? Because Canada isn't willing to sell any of it's provinces!

How can the Muslims achieve Victory?
Do we really think the way we r leading our lives ( as fake Muslims = follow Islaam when we want %26amp; leave the parts we don't like) there will be any changes? Come on %26quot; Allah does not change upon a nation until the nation changes it's self%26quot;. We r fooling no one but our selves, May Allah give us Hedayah %26amp; the duwas we r asking r the causes of true Hedayah to gain the Victory we r asking for from Allah.How can the Muslims achieve Victory?To win our enemies is indeed a victory and most of us think only in that way. That we are winning and rejoicing whiles our enemies being destroyed. Did we think of the other side of coming of Allah's victory where we see people are entering the Deen of Allah in multitudes? This was the final victory of all the struggle of our beloved Prophet (s.a.w). And when that victory came, Prophet (s.a.w) entered Makkah in such a state of modesty that he lowered his head almost touching the camel. He only praised Allah and none else (We all know the beautiful Praise he uttered then ) and none of his companions showed least form of any pride.. Though they all could pride well, as they were a people who were ridden from their lands some years ago. Now the same people are coming as rulers with a clear victory. But they were no people ordinary. Allah (s.w.t) has prepared a best of nation out of them. They had aforetime gone much through trials and sacrifices to be as noble as them. They had no trace of any pride other then the Yaqeen and glory of Allah (s.w.t) in their hearts. Allah filled their hearts with Taqwa and the best of Qualities.
And the final chapter of Holy Quran to be revealed was informing about that victory and that was also a closing chapter which some of the Sahaba (r.a) like Abubakar (R.A) started crying as there was a hidden message of farewell of Rasulullah (s.a.w).
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
1 When there comes the help of Allah and the victory,
2 you see the people entering Allah's religion (Islam) in multitudes.
3 So glorify your Rabb with His praises, and pray for His forgiveness: surely He is ever ready to accept repentance.
(Holy Quran: Sura Al-Nasr.)
Hence the victory will come. According to the Hadith, the war will happen between Muslims and the Jews. But the spiritual level of Muslim on that day will be that he will understand the language of stones and trees. They will speak to him where his enemies are. Just as Sahaba (r.a) had Allah鈥檚 help from all sides. The Prophet of Allah , Hazrath Musa (a.s) was helped by splitting red sea. The Sahaba (r.a) a follower of our Prophet (pbuh), a Jamaah of Saad bin abi waqas (r.a) rode whole of his army and him above the Tigris rivers of Iraq. Surely the help comes. But the question is, Are we ready?
How can the Muslims achieve Victory?
First by stop clapping to Shia'a then by voting for the right Wali Al Amr instead of planning to take the bad one down
How can the Muslims achieve Victory?
The correct way is by going back to the sunnah and Qur'aan and holding fast to the rope of Allaah. Forbidding all Bidah and abandoning all forms of shirk.
If you ask me though, my way would be to round up Husni Mubarak, King Abdullaah of Jordan, Mahmud Abbass, and the Kings of the Haramain put them in a so called URWA-safe house keep them in there for weeks without food, water, toilet and after that bomb them for once!.......
Sorry Gaza:-(
start by education and fixing ur own self
Well i would look to the example of noble people of Islam and see how they did things. from amongst them is Salih-udeen-Alayubi (r) whose name was yusuf.
what did he do and say when jerusalem was under the siege of the crusaders, did he organize protests? lol SUBHANALLAH of course he did no such thing.
Instead one night he went to his soldiers so that they could perform the night prayer. instead of seeing them praying he found them asleep. so he said
%26quot;Wake up wake up, it will be because of you that we will loose the battle%26quot;
So he put emphasis on salah, eventhough it is an optional prayer, he made them stand in prayer during the night, he did not take part in protests, WHY? because he had faith in Allah (SWT) so he commanded his soldiers with salah and he realized the power of prayer, he said to his troops, that it will be because of you (not praying) that we will loose the battle
Yet how many of us are negligent with regards to the five OBLIGATORY prayers never mind the optional night prayer
Astaghfirullah May Allah strengthen us all with emaan and taqwa.
I have one idea!!! Educate your women, let them work and stop having babies you cant possibly afford to feed and educate, perpetuating the cycle of poverty and ignorance. That might be a start
We need to be united and follow the teachings of Quran and hadith.
by shutting up, taking a shower cleaning up and throwing down the weapons and picking up a pen.
The reward is knowledge not winning some pathetic human war! Those who make chaos on this earth are in manifest error, this world is not the reward.
If you all read something you will see Allah SWT made the pen first before even Jibreal A.s. Unfortunately there is very few intelligent Muslims anymore.
by beating up the bad guys
All religions if followed in sincerity are valid. Use any religion for personal gain,profit, power etc, will not help.
God, Allah, whatever name u call on is not fooled by flattery and is only impressed by sincerity.
what do you mean by victory? And why do you say muslims? Aren't non-muslims also humans? What is this muslim vs non-muslim victory that you are referring to? Religion and faith is a personal matter, do not make it political.

Why do libs want to change America, the greatest nation on Earth, but conservatives want to conserve it?
So, let me get this straight, Americans vote America the greatest nation on Earth year after year, doesn't that tell you something? You would think anyone with common sense would say, %26quot;gee, I live in the greatest nation on Earth, how can I keep, or rather conserve this status forever?%26quot; but no, libs see perfection and they want to change it. Isn't that wrong. Being a conservative means wanting to conserve, and if something ain't broke, don't fix it. America does not need change. If we had stayed the way we were at our best, ca. 1955 or 1985, we wouldn't be in this mess that the liberals have designed for us. When something is perfect, conserve it, and that's how I feel about my country, I want to conserve its perfection, not change it.Why do libs want to change America, the greatest nation on Earth, but conservatives want to conserve it?there are some things that need to change in america but the way they are going about it is very wrong help repeal the bill by signing the petition link provided

You have to be able to change with the changing times in order to survive. Nothing stays perfect.`
Why do libs want to change America, the greatest nation on Earth, but conservatives want to conserve it?
Well lets see... I don't think being ranked in the mid 30's in health care around the world is the best. Costa Rica is ahead of us for god's sake, why wouldn't you want to change that? Those who don't change repeat their mistakes and are doomed to fail.
The greatest nation on Earth has only stayed that way BECAUSE we make changes when something isn't right. Think we'd still be the greatest nation on Earth if slavery was still legal, if women couldn't vote, if blacks couldn't vote, if segregation was the norm? Get a clue, and a history education if you can.
You believe that America was perfect in 1955. Lets see what changes that Liberals pushed through that you feel were part of the perfect US.
1. Segregated Schools
2. Blacks restricted from using public accommodations like restaurants, theaters, etc. And when using public transportation restricted to a segregated section (the back of the bus)
3. Blacks being denied the right to vote through unconstitutional voter registration rules and bigoted election boards.
4. Seniors without health insurance (no medicare)
These are just a few things that liberals have changed since 1955, when you think America was %26quot;perfect%26quot;.
The preamble of the Constitution, %26quot;in order to form a more perfect union,%26quot; was the start of an ongoing process to continually improve the union, not a pledge to stagnate as we were in 1787.
Just because we may be %26quot;the greatest nation on earth%26quot; doesn't necessarily mean that all of our domestic and foreign policies, systems, programs, services, etc. the greatest on earth.
We're not the greatest when it comes to crime rates, health care, education, manufacturing, etc.
Your argument is dead in the water, brother. It's blind patriotism that encumbers progress.
Liberalism is what made America the great nation that the Conservatives now want to conserve.
America is NOT the %26quot;greatest nation on earth%26quot;.
LMAO! You think America was perfect in 1955 and 1985?!?! WOW. How do you even begin to explain the obvious to someone who is so clearly blinded by right wing brainwash? Do you know why change happens? Because there is a demand for it. Do you know why there is a demand for change? Because America is NOT perfect and people DO suffer and people ARE treated unfairly.

How can a nation composed almost entirely of immigrants be afraid of immigrants?
The United States, from its inception to this day, has been almost exclusively comprised of immigrants, yet now we find ourselves treating those who are also seeking a better life here (just as our ancestors did) in a xenophobic manner. Yes, they may be considered illegal, but down through our immigrant history, how many can actually be considered %26quot;legal?%26quot; So tell me, have we become that which our ancestors sought to escape by coming here? Are the words on the Statue of Liberty no longer true? I'm not trying to start some heated argument or debate here, I would just honestly like to know what in the American mentality has changed, why have we as a nation become so rigid and closed towards others that simply seek the freedoms and opportunities that we often take for granted?How can a nation composed almost entirely of immigrants be afraid of immigrants?As an legal immigrant I must say that it does drive me nuts thinking that my family had to wait 5 years to come to the US while some other just cross a border. However, I also have seen the desperation of people living in under-developed countries and not having anything to eat.
The US should create and enforce their immigration laws. They should also provide moe funding to protect their borders... just because you are building a wall that only runs through major cities or towns doesn't mean people will stop crossing the border.
The US should also do something about the millions of law-bindding illegal immigrants who work and have lived in the US for years. It would be unfair to send them back when they have their lives here. I think the US should model what Spain implemented 3 years ago where they allowed illegal immigrants to residents as long as they had steady income, could show proof they have lived here for longer than 5 years and show proof from their naitive country that have enever been arrested or been charge of a crime.
About the job situation.... I don't think immigrants are taking American jobs. I have yet to meet a anglo-american willing to pick lettuce or oranages in the sun for 9-10hrs straight, clean dishes or restrooms in a restaurant and work for minimun wage for it.
Over the years the American mentality has changed and things just got worst after 9/11. But what I find interesting is that the US govt wants to 'protect out borders because of terrorsim' but yet we are barely doing anything to protect our border with Canada. Is a heck of a lot easier to enter Canada than to get a visa to visit Mexico....
How can a nation composed almost entirely of immigrants be afraid of immigrants?
You are soooooooo right....the world is coming to an end...the bible says that there will be a strong lack of common sense...this whole immigration issue is just petty. This is still America right...who are we to say anyone can't come here.
How can a nation composed almost entirely of immigrants be afraid of immigrants?
The whole thing is American has never really been attacked from any foreign faction or nation so when 9/11 happened and they could pinpoint the terrorist from the citizens they became skeptical of everyone who wasn't 'American'. it is unfortunate that we don't tend to see things as it pertains to us. Most of the world lives everyday with bombs going off overhead while we safely sip coffee and watch our afternoon soap operas. We are in a much better place than our counterparts. But 9/11 changed everything on a national level. It proved that we weren't the exception to devastating violence, which is a wake up call to many Americans.
And what most Americans need to realize is that we have Detainment camps that are housing %26quot;terrorists%26quot; that are born citizens of this country without their due process. They very foundations that made this country appealing to the %26quot;hungry, the tired and the poor%26quot; is now crumbling under our feet because people are quick to jump behind the Dems, Repubs, Indep...and can't think for themselves. So God help us all....
We are more angry than afraid. The vast majority of people that have come into our country in the past have done so through legal channels. They learned to speak English, obeyed the laws, and became citizens. Good for them! If you don't see the difference in that and what is happening in this country now..........press one to continue in English.
well now there are laws concerning how you can go about coming and living in this country than in years past.
More people are concerned with ILLEGAL immigrants that take more than they give. Being that many get a tax free salary but b/c they don't make much use up resources that LEGAL citizens work hard to pay for.
People that are opposed to immigration period need to look at the history of this country. It is my experience that many are opposed to illegal immigration than immigration period.
People are ignorant. There is a thing called xenophobia and its not specific to the US. Most Americans are several generations distant from any familial immigrant, making it more difficult to empathize or overcome xenophobic tendencies based on their wandering Pilgrim heritage. Believe it or not, many Americans, especially in today's political climate, after immigrating to another country experience the exact same rigid closed mindedness from their new country's natives.
I think there are a lot of reasons. Some could be that we act as if these people are taking jobs from us, when the actuality is the majority are doing jobs that no one else wants to do. I think there is something to be said about a system of checks and balances and that people shouldn't just be able to walk into the country without following a process and that angers some. I think there is a subconscious problem with these being people of color and becoming the majority which frightens some, too. Just my thoughts...
The statue of liberty was a gift from France, and the words were French, not some extract from our constitution.
We have been friendly to legal immigrants over the years, and still give homes to more legal immigrants each year than any other country.
That does not mean that we are not a country with laws and that anybody can cross our borders to become instant citizens. There are also many people in this world that wish to do harm to America, and they need to be prevented from gaining access to our country.
In my eyes, we need to be fair with our legal immigrant policy, and completely non accepting of anybody that comes here illegally. It's not fair to the citizens of our country, and it's not fair to the legal immigrants that went through the process completely above board.
No one is afraid of immigrants ,just illegal immigrants.Come through the front door,get your papers,get your physical quit bringing in turburculosis and other diseases that were virtually wiped out here.It is an insult to ALL the people going about it the right way.Just because you climb over my wall and enter my house doesn't mean I'm going to let you stay.You go around and knock on the door and I'll tell you if I'll let you in or not.
Immigration is fine as long as it is done legally. The immigrants should also learn the language and pay taxes.....otherwise they become an overwhelming burden on our health care and social services sytems.
We need to put out a bulletin. %26quot;No longer want, poor, tired, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Holding out for educated, European multi-millionaires!%26quot;
First of all, there's no difference between how we treat immigrants now and how our fathers treated Irish, German, Dutch, Catholic, Chinese, and many other groups that came in large numbers in the past.
But the real problem TODAY is that so many are coming here ILLEGALLY. This is something new, and their uncontrolled numbers are wreaking havoc on our society. They lower wages for Americans, use up medical resources, steal Social Security resources, and add to traffic congestion. Remember that Mexican protest a couple of years ago? The only result was that everyone else was able to use the freeways again without the constant traffic jams suffered every OTHER day because of them.
It's not fear. It's logic. Where's yours?
Not afraid just concerned about overpopulation
Hear hear. People living outside the States just can't understand your 'thing' about immigrants. It's a big country, it needs labour, just what is the problem.
A classic case of the Pot Calling the Kettle Black
I don't know that ALL African-Americans and ALL Native-Americans are %26quot;immigrants%26quot;, but I found some information as it pertains to the opposing arguments for immigration
Economic arguments
Economic needs-driven immigration is opposed by labour-market protectionists, often arguing from economic nationalism. The core of their arguments is that a nation's jobs are the 鈥榩roperty鈥?of that nation, and that allowing foreigners to take them is equivalent to a loss of that property. They may also criticise immigration of this type as a form of corporate welfare, where business is indirectly subsidised by government expenditure to promote the immigration and the assimilation of the immigrants. A more common criticism is that the immigrant employees are almost always paid less than a non-immigrant worker in the same job, and that the immigration depresses wages, especially as immigrants are usually not unionised. Other groups feel that the focus should be not on immigration control, but on equal rights for the immigrants, to avoid their exploitation.
Arguments against the cost of immigration - for instance the provision of schools for the additional population - are prominent in the United States and Canada, see Economic impact of immigration to Canada.
Nationalistic arguments
Non-economic opposition to immigration is closely associated with nationalism, in Europe a 鈥榥ationalist party鈥?is almost a synonym for 鈥榓nti-immigration party鈥? Although traditionally, economic arguments dominated the United States immigration debate, it has become more polarized in recent years, as evidenced by nationalist demands to deploy the military to the US borders. The emergence of private border militias in the United States has attracted much media attention. Nevertheless, the southern border of the European Union in the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla has at least as many military patrols as the US-Mexico border.
The primary argument of the nationalist opponents in Europe is that immigrants simply do not belong in a nation-state which is by definition intended for another ethnic group. Britain, in this view, is for the British, Germany is for the Germans, and so on. Immigration is seen as altering the composition of the national population, and consequently the national identity. From the nationalist perspective, high-volume immigration simply 鈥榓lters their country鈥?more than is desired or even necessary. Some of the support for this nationalist opposition comes from xenophobes who instinctively fear the presence of foreigners, but it is also consistent with the nationalist ideology. Germany was indeed intended as a state for Germans: the state's policy of mass immigration was not foreseen by the 19th-century nationalist movements. Immigration has forced Germany and other western European states to re-examine their national identity: part of the population is not prepared to redefine it to include immigrants. It is this type of opposition to immigration which generated support for anti-immigration parties such as Vlaams Belang in Belgium, the British National Party in Britain, the Lega Nord in Italy, the Front National in France, and the Lijst Pim Fortuyn in the Netherlands.
One of the responses of nation-states to mass immigration is to promote the cultural assimilation of immigrants into the national community, and their integration into the political, social, and economic structures. In the United States, cultural assimilation is traditionally seen as a process taking place among minorities themselves, the 鈥榤elting pot鈥? In Europe, where nation-states have a tradition of national unification by cultural and linguistic policies, variants of these policies have been proposed to accelerate the assimilation of immigrants. The introduction of citizenship tests for immigrants is the most visible form of state-promoted assimilation. The test usually include some form of language exam, and some countries have reintroduced forms of language prohibition.
Environmentalist arguments
Environmentalist opposition to immigration is prominent in the United States, which has the largest absolute numbers of immigrants. Responses to immigration are a controversial topic among environmental activists, especially within the Sierra Club. Some oppose the immigration-driven population growth in the United States as unsustainable, and advocate immigration reduction. Other environmentalists see overpopulation and environmental degradation as global problems, that should be addressed by other methods. Most European countries do not have the high population growth of the United States, and some experience population decline. In such circumstances, the effect of immigration is to reduce decline, or delay its onset, rather than substantially increase the population. The Republic of Ireland is one of the only EU countries comparable to the United States in this respect, since large-scale immigration contributed to substantial population growth. Spain has also witnessed a recent boost in population due to high immigration.%26quot;
stupiditiy
true most of us are immigrants, well all of us if you want to go way back, except native Americans.... but its the illegal ones, the ones who sneak past the border. They need to be checked with customs cause they could be smuggling drugs, weapons, terrorists, and carry diseases that could harm everyone else. Also immigrants can be paid cheaply therefore taking the jobs of the common American. I can kind of see what your saying but were no longer in the 1800's times have changed and so have circumstances.
Go back and read your american history.......the immigrants coming from Europe were hardly illegal. If they want to seek a better life, I propose they do something about their own country first, or at the very least, go about immigrating in a legal fashion. And send all the criminals, gang members, and mexican flag wavers back.
How brain-dead can you be? This country is %26quot;composed almost entirely%26quot; of LEGAL immigrants, who wanted to learn the language and assimilate. They went through the process of legalization, and understood why it was necessary to do so. There were limits to the numbers allowed to come here. Is there even the slightest similarity to this and to the mexicans who are digging tunnels, and sneaking in here in the dead of the night, many of them dealing drugs? Where in our immigration policy does it say that the stated goal is to turn this place into Northern Mexico, the graffitti capital of the world?
I think a lot of people are just overwhelmed by the enormity of the immigration. But also, many aren't so much concerned that there are immigrants, but that they are immigrants who haven't followed the rules. That leads them to believe that they may also not follow other rules (laws), and lead us toward a violent crime wave. Some say that's already been happening in the Southwest. I have no evidence to base that on, but some people have said that.
My point is that we have many people who have been waiting legally to enter the country, and haven't been allowed. Should we pass up those law-abiding citizens and instead give citizenship to those who have bypassed the legal means for entry? I think it's a bad precedent to set. Remember, one of the criteria for legal entry is that they can't have had a criminal record back home. Could it be that some of the illegals are actually criminals?
Yes, we need to be open to immigration, but I'm not convinced that allowing it without regard to legal standards is the wisest approach to take.
The US should create and enforce their immigration laws. They should also provide moe funding to protect their borders... just because you are building a wall that only runs through major cities or towns doesn't mean people will stop crossing the border.
The US should also do something about the millions of law-bindding illegal immigrants who work and have lived in the US for years.

Believe it or not, many Americans, especially in today's political climate, after immigrating to another country experience the exact same rigid closed mindedness from their new country's natives.
I think there are a lot of reasons. Some could be that we act as if these people are taking jobs from us, when the actuality is the majority are doing jobs that no one else wants to do. I think there is something to be said about a system of checks and balances and that people shouldn't just be able to walk into the country without following a process and that angers some. I think there is a subconscious problem with these being people of color and becoming the majority which frightens some, too. Just my thoughts...
The statue of liberty was a gift from France, and the words were French, not some extract from our constitution.
We have been friendly to legal immigrants over the years, and still give homes to more legal immigrants each year than any other country.
That does not mean that we are not a country with laws and that anybody can cross our borders to become instant citizens. There are also many people in this world that wish to do harm to America, and they need to be prevented from gaining access to our country.
In my eyes, we need to be fair with our legal immigrant policy, and completely non accepting of anybody that comes here illegally. It's not fair to the citizens of our country, and it's not fair to the legal immigrants that went through the process completely above board.
No one is afraid of immigrants ,just illegal immigrants.Come through the front door,get your papers,get your physical quit bringing in turburculosis and other diseases that were virtually wiped out here.It is an insult to ALL the people going about it the right way.Just because you climb over my wall and enter my house doesn't mean I'm going to let you stay.You go around and knock on the door and I'll tell you if I'll let you in or not.
Immigration is fine as long as it is done legally. The immigrants should also learn the language and pay taxes.....otherwise they become an overwhelming burden on our health care and social services sytems.
We need to put out a bulletin. %26quot;No longer want, poor, tired, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Holding out for educated, European multi-millionaires!%26quot;
First of all, there's no difference between how we treat immigrants now and how our fathers treated Irish, German, Dutch, Catholic, Chinese, and many other groups that came in large numbers in the past.
But the real problem TODAY is that so many are coming here ILLEGALLY. This is something new, and their uncontrolled numbers are wreaking havoc on our society. They lower wages for Americans, use up medical resources, steal Social Security resources, and add to traffic congestion. Remember that Mexican protest a couple of years ago? The only result was that everyone else was able to use the freeways again without the constant traffic jams suffered every OTHER day because of them.
It's not fear. It's logic. Where's yours?
Not afraid just concerned about overpopulation
Hear hear. People living outside the States just can't understand your 'thing' about immigrants. It's a big country, it needs labour, just what is the problem.
A classic case of the Pot Calling the Kettle Black
I don't know that ALL African-Americans and ALL Native-Americans are %26quot;immigrants%26quot;, but I found some information as it pertains to the opposing arguments for immigration
Economic arguments
Economic needs-driven immigration is opposed by labour-market protectionists, often arguing from economic nationalism. The core of their arguments is that a nation's jobs are the 鈥榩roperty鈥?of that nation, and that allowing foreigners to take them is equivalent to a loss of that property. They may also criticise immigration of this type as a form of corporate welfare, where business is indirectly subsidised by government expenditure to promote the immigration and the assimilation of the immigrants. A more common criticism is that the immigrant employees are almost always paid less than a non-immigrant worker in the same job, and that the immigration depresses wages, especially as immigrants are usually not unionised. Other groups feel that the focus should be not on immigration control, but on equal rights for the immigrants, to avoid their exploitation.
Arguments against the cost of immigration - for instance the provision of schools for the additional population - are prominent in the United States and Canada, see Economic impact of immigration to Canada.
Nationalistic arguments
Non-economic opposition to immigration is closely associated with nationalism, in Europe a 鈥榥ationalist party鈥?is almost a synonym for 鈥榓nti-immigration party鈥? Although traditionally, economic arguments dominated the United States immigration debate, it has become more polarized in recent years, as evidenced by nationalist demands to deploy the military to the US borders. The emergence of private border militias in the United States has attracted much media attention. Nevertheless, the southern border of the European Union in the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla has at least as many military patrols as the US-Mexico border.
The primary argument of the nationalist opponents in Europe is that immigrants simply do not belong in a nation-state which is by definition intended for another ethnic group. Britain, in this view, is for the British, Germany is for the Germans, and so on. Immigration is seen as altering the composition of the national population, and consequently the national identity. From the nationalist perspective, high-volume immigration simply 鈥榓lters their country鈥?more than is desired or even necessary. Some of the support for this nationalist opposition comes from xenophobes who instinctively fear the presence of foreigners, but it is also consistent with the nationalist ideology. Germany was indeed intended as a state for Germans: the state's policy of mass immigration was not foreseen by the 19th-century nationalist movements. Immigration has forced Germany and other western European states to re-examine their national identity: part of the population is not prepared to redefine it to include immigrants. It is this type of opposition to immigration which generated support for anti-immigration parties such as Vlaams Belang in Belgium, the British National Party in Britain, the Lega Nord in Italy, the Front National in France, and the Lijst Pim Fortuyn in the Netherlands.
One of the responses of nation-states to mass immigration is to promote the cultural assimilation of immigrants into the national community, and their integration into the political, social, and economic structures. In the United States, cultural assimilation is traditionally seen as a process taking place among minorities themselves, the 鈥榤elting pot鈥? In Europe, where nation-states have a tradition of national unification by cultural and linguistic policies, variants of these policies have been proposed to accelerate the assimilation of immigrants. The introduction of citizenship tests for immigrants is the most visible form of state-promoted assimilation. The test usually include some form of language exam, and some countries have reintroduced forms of language prohibition.
Environmentalist arguments
Environmentalist opposition to immigration is prominent in the United States, which has the largest absolute numbers of immigrants. Responses to immigration are a controversial topic among environmental activists, especially within the Sierra Club. Some oppose the immigration-driven population growth in the United States as unsustainable, and advocate immigration reduction. Other environmentalists see overpopulation and environmental degradation as global problems, that should be addressed by other methods. Most European countries do not have the high population growth of the United States, and some experience population decline. In such circumstances, the effect of immigration is to reduce decline, or delay its onset, rather than substantially increase the population. The Republic of Ireland is one of the only EU countries comparable to the United States in this respect, since large-scale immigration contributed to substantial population growth. Spain has also witnessed a recent boost in population due to high immigration.%26quot;
stupiditiy
true most of us are immigrants, well all of us if you want to go way back, except native Americans.... but its the illegal ones, the ones who sneak past the border. They need to be checked with customs cause they could be smuggling drugs, weapons, terrorists, and carry diseases that could harm everyone else. Also immigrants can be paid cheaply therefore taking the jobs of the common American. I can kind of see what your saying but were no longer in the 1800's times have changed and so have circumstances.
Go back and read your american history.......the immigrants coming from Europe were hardly illegal. If they want to seek a better life, I propose they do something about their own country first, or at the very least, go about immigrating in a legal fashion. And send all the criminals, gang members, and mexican flag wavers back.
How brain-dead can you be? This country is %26quot;composed almost entirely%26quot; of LEGAL immigrants, who wanted to learn the language and assimilate. They went through the process of legalization, and understood why it was necessary to do so. There were limits to the numbers allowed to come here. Is there even the slightest similarity to this and to the mexicans who are digging tunnels, and sneaking in here in the dead of the night, many of them dealing drugs? Where in our immigration policy does it say that the stated goal is to turn this place into Northern Mexico, the graffitti capital of the world?
I think a lot of people are just overwhelmed by the enormity of the immigration. But also, many aren't so much concerned that there are immigrants, but that they are immigrants who haven't followed the rules. That leads them to believe that they may also not follow other rules (laws), and lead us toward a violent crime wave. Some say that's already been happening in the Southwest. I have no evidence to base that on, but some people have said that.
My point is that we have many people who have been waiting legally to enter the country, and haven't been allowed. Should we pass up those law-abiding citizens and instead give citizenship to those who have bypassed the legal means for entry? I think it's a bad precedent to set. Remember, one of the criteria for legal entry is that they can't have had a criminal record back home. Could it be that some of the illegals are actually criminals?
Yes, we need to be open to immigration, but I'm not convinced that allowing it without regard to legal standards is the wisest approach to take.
Does this rush to pass the stimulus bill remind you......?
of how the Federal Reserve was established in 1913? It was rushed through Congress during a Christmas vacation.
Seeing that the ultra-rich globalists were behind the Federal Reserve AND are now controlling the promoters of the stimulus package, do you think they just figured %26quot;Hey, it worked before and we totally changed the nation...why not try it again to make our dream come true...%26quot;Does this rush to pass the stimulus bill remind you......?It's called a %26quot;Parliamentary Revolution%26quot;. Read %26quot;And Not a Shot is Fired%26quot; by Jan Kozak. It is an insiders view of how Czechoslovakia went from a Democracy to Social Democracy to Social Dictatorship in under a decade. The key phrase used many times throughout the book is SPEED! These transitions must happen quickly. A sense of urgency must be felt. Bush did it with the Patriot Act. Now the Libs want to do it with the Bailout. Fear mongering (Bush through %26quot;terrorism%26quot; and the ever present threat...Obama through the economy). It's a great read, not a big book (maybe 100 pages) and should be required reading for kids by their parents in my opinion.
Does this rush to pass the stimulus bill remind you......?
Well anytime congress is in a hurry to shove something through without us seeing able to see it , you can bet it isn't in our best interest !
Does this rush to pass the stimulus bill remind you......?
YES. It does, actually.
It is my dream to dump the Federal Reserve. I don't know if I will see it happen in my lifetime, though. So many people on both sides of the aisle don't seem to have a problem with it.
Yes. Funny how such a fundamental policy that affects literally every single person living in this country was able to be passed in violation of our constitution without going through the amendment process.
It also reminds me of another piece of legislation that was rushed through not so long ago via fear tactics. (Patriot Act)
The loss of democracy to dictatorship also happened in Germany with Hitler's rise to power.
You know, my wife and I have been going back and forth over something we would like to buy that cost a good deal of money. We haven't bought it though because we don't agree and as long as we disagree we'll not buy it either. Of course we're both conservative so maybe that makes a difference in the decision making process. If, though, she or I would have rushed the purchase through without due diligence and appropriate consideration then one or both of us may not be re-elected come next wedding anniversary.
Yes and an %26quot;I told you so%26quot; won't suffice on this one.
Yes, they have infiltrated our government and we will pay dearly for it.
They have laid the foundation for the takeover they tried before and failed, they are baaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk.
nothing more to say but go to this link.
Yes, it does. New Hampshire has drafted a resolution (HCR 6) to secede if Obama does much more of what he is trying to do. 8 other states are drafting similar resolutions.
Every time congress does something in a rush I get suspicious. I was just watching a program on the Military History Channel about Hitler and how he came to power. One of his ex-bodyguards said he didn't really like Hitler but his speeches just energized him. Sound like anyone we know?

Democratic Party Officials, Satanic Rituals, Arrest for rape....?
Did you hear Friday Mark McCullough, Asst DA of Durham County told WTVD-tv that he arrested Democratic party official Joseph Craig and Vice Chair of Durham Cty Democratic Party, also known as Vice-chair of %26quot;Young Democrats%26quot;; 2 incidents one January 2008, then May 2008-
2nd degree: rape, kidnapping,2 cts. assault deadly weapon,
where they were found holding victims starving them, kept in cages, using them for satanic rituals; the men beaten with cords and canes; the women beaten and viciously raped while they were shackled. The cages were too small for a large
breed dog.
WELCOME TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY where you can
change the Nation. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE.....forget
morals, values or character and integrety, and esspecially,
forget the children who will inherit a Nation tossed to the gutter.
The Democratic Party is about doing whatever you want, where ever you want, whenever you want without the regard for children or anyone else. This is the %26quot;CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN%26quot;.Democratic Party Officials, Satanic Rituals, Arrest for rape....?Well considering they've put the antichrist up for president, none of this is surprising.
Democratic Party Officials, Satanic Rituals, Arrest for rape....?
It would be ignorant to indict the entire Democratic party for the behavior of a few miscreants, just as it would be ignorant to blame all Republicans for the policies of President Bush.
Democratic Party Officials, Satanic Rituals, Arrest for rape....?
obama will pardon them!
That's him what does he have to do with the rest of the democrats
I'm sure republicans have done horrible things but I would not lump them all together
whats the word for broad sweeping generalizations....hmmm....
I love the questions from silly idiots like you keep it up.
but what does that make the GOP
Senators having homosexual encounters in bathrooms while ragining against gays.
Senators carrying on a homosexual affair with an underage boy while raging against pedaphilia.
These are two sick individuals just as the two senators above are sick individuals - neither group represents their party and you shouldn't make generalizations.
But I don't understand the rant against the DP about forgeting children - personally, you must have been living in a cage these last 8 years to not see what has been going on (until a GOP administration and a GOP congress).
Why is it that the Democrats are getting blamed for everything when they have only held the majority (BY ONE FREAKING VOTE THAT IS JOE LIEBERMAN) for 2 years. The GOP was in power when all the seeds of what is going on now were planted but yet they still blame the Democrats.

How can we inspire a nation to want more for themselves?
If people are never exposed to the %26quot;freedom of choice,%26quot; it will be a difficult process for them to overcome the fear that is normally associated with change.
Having the ability to change, as the need arises, is fundamental for one to achieve success.
I feel the issues that are causing many conflicts in the world today, can ultimately be eliminated if we add new approaches to our methods of resolution.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
(Positive feedback only, please)How can we inspire a nation to want more for themselves?I wonder if %26quot;wanting more for yourself %26quot; isn't a harmful goal, as opposed to making the best of what you have, which also would imply making what you have, work for you.
The King of Thailand is credited with this type of thinking, I believe. To make the most of the bit of land you have, to use the talents of a community to make goods that are unique to the area, and to appreciate the simple and happy things in life.
I'm not a scholar, but people seem happier in Thailand than most places I have been, and this thinking is quite firmly entrenched in the poorer areas here. Which, by the way, do not have a high crime rate, or filthy houses, or people not taking care of themselves and their families. ( that may be a generalization, but definitely a deserved one...I've been in many poor people homes in this country without notice I was coming, and without exception it was as clean and neat as those homes could possibly have been, even the dirt floors were swept clean, and the streets weren't littered.
People cleaned themselves well have the toilet, after working, and their clothes were presentable for work or eating a meal with family.
I think this notion of making the best of a situation has given the majority here a great deal of self respect with poor people lack in many part of the %26quot;more developed%26quot; world.

Here's some checks of proof ( Click back then go on http://www.100wgezi.com http://www.uutx.com to get started)
How can we inspire a nation to want more for themselves?
Education. I don't mean the school education only. Intellectuality should be supported, there should be more libraries, more free courses about anything. Books should be sometimes free or very inexpensive. People should be encouraged to read more about themselves and the world around them. Internet should be used for this.
Give them competition with other nation.use media to portray the compitition.
you can't but you shall inspire them to hate you if you try any nation has to discover for herself what is better for the people
by promoting and encouraging individualistic achievements from a early age in people, and also learn to accept defeat and disappointment from time to time and the importance of employing the right attitude towards both these areas of life.
Yes, I agree with you if your methods of resolution also examine our: egos, narcissistic behavior, our lack of empathy and our biases. In your method of problem solving role-playing activities should also be implemented. I truly do agree with you that we need to implement a new form of conflict management but, as I was saying we must examine so much more. Yet, I don't feel that the issues that we are facing around the world can be remedied without RESPECT and less selfishness. We ALL have to learn how to RESPECT one another across: ethnic, sexual orientation and gender lines, that is our problem. NONE OF US HAS BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHT OR THE OBLIGATION TO JUDGE YET WE ARE SO QUICK TO DO SO.

NONE OF US HAS BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHT OR THE OBLIGATION TO JUDGE YET WE ARE SO QUICK TO DO SO.

So, what do you think will become of the nation if Obama wins office?
Coming this November, I am definitely voting for Obama. It's about time for change. I just really have to cross my fingers that if he gets elected, he will do the right thing and not screw up. But I am determined to hold on to the positive because I have high hopes for this man. He seems a decent gentlemen who's got his head on straight.
What are your opinions? What do you think will become of the nation if Obama wins ?So, what do you think will become of the nation if Obama wins office?I hope he can stop the slide into the Bush Depression. But it may be too late.
The plundering of the nation and now socialism in the form of bailouts for companies that were supposedly TBTF. We may not have a nation any more.
So, what do you think will become of the nation if Obama wins office?
It's a start. I think we will finally be headed in the right direction.

Hell/Handbasket.
can't get any worse. The rest of the world is looking at us like we are crazy for electing bush twice...its time we actually tried to fix our reputation and live up to the values we hold others to. Go Obama
Obama promotes radical leftist / socialist views.
He is the most liberal member of the Senate.
It is quite clear what direction he wants the nation to go and it is the opposite direction of the vision our Founding Fathers had.
It is good to have high hopes..but in this case you are going to come to a big education..don't believe in politicians who promise %26quot;change%26quot; ..but go ahead and vote..I am retired and it really won't make that much difference who gets in..it will be
a lot of heartache in the US for a long time ..good luck
It's too scary to think about it.
I think we'll all go broke paying more taxes.
After the mess Bush has made, a 5th grader could do better.
Whenever you have high hopes for a politician, he will let you down. Don't pin your dreams on this guy doing right by you. You will be disappointed.
Nothing rash will happen. He is new to politics. So it takes a while and still nothing to rile up the people.
One way or another, this country will no longer be free, within the first year. And a race war like no other.
For starters, our soverenity will be given to the UN.
Lord help us all...
Ask the people of Chicago what Obama has done for them.^
i can finally stop holding my breath. I think we will finally start moving forward and thinking more globally. We, instead of me.
I believe that when he is elected president, this country will take a turn for the better. I am definitely voting for him because as you stated he seems to have his head on straight and he seems to be a politician that you can trust, the words trust and politician don't usually coincide well, after the way things have been going in this country there's no direction to go but up.
Socialism is what you will get , and it wont be long til America
is as leftist, and socialistic and backwards as Europe has
become.
I belive that if Obama wins that the USA is going to fall!
Not for any other reason i just dont se how he could make things better, you guys say you want change and thats exactly what you will get, just not in a good way
USA started a wa that they need to finnish and Obama is not the guy who will finnish it, I am not against him and i do think he would make a good president just not now he should have waited a while at least 8 years before attempting to do this, becuase if he wins now the economy will suffer worse cause they will make sure that everything will fall on his shoulders so that they dont get another black person or a woman to run for president in the next 100 years, i just feel sorry for the poor pupet that Obama is going to become if he wins and the fact that there will never ever be another minority president again in the USA, well thats if it still exists after Obama.
I personally am voting for McCain not because i think he is the better man for president just because i dont think that Obama is not ready to do what needs to be done this late in this game
A lot of bad things. One he wants to hunt for Bin Laden in Pakistan which is going to start a war with a nuclear nation. Second he wants to raise federal taxes to pay for the same ole liberal garbage that never works. And lastly he is going to be heavily controlled by the Washington insiders because he lacks any leadership experience.
Well it'll be the start of weakening our military, higher taxes, more racism, and less security. If he does get into office, I hope you have anti depressants ready.
That always works. Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best gave us Jimmy Carter. Might want to rethink your method of choosing a president.
