Sad but true, it's a shame that millions of people had died in defense of liberty all the way from General Washington's troops marching half naked and barefoot through the snow in Jersey, to soldiers dying in Iraq, and we have come to this point in time when people welcome Socialism and Marxism.
You talk as if the S word is the end all, be all, thats destined to dominate America's economy. Capitalistic foxes will always be king, so don't fret and thats the way it should be, but somebody has to guard the hen house from another Wall Street "free for all" and a "greed gone wild" slumber party. Bailouts, new energy, healthcare, education, watch out Stalin here we come.....
Twenty years ago Obama would have been gone after the Rev. Wright fiasco. Now values mean nothing. Bill Ayres, a confidant,bombed the Pentagon and Capitol, what in the hell are people like this doing having access to our president?
To you, Rev Wright is a sound bite nut job , to me Rev Wright speaks power to truth. He may speak in Black Church lingo, but speaks in a tongue many closeminded Americans can't handle, self examination and the truth. True, twenty years ago Americans would have rejected Obama, for Wright and Ayers, but in today's world, people have access to much more information thru various sources to realize that Obama's not "paling around with terrorist". If your still stuck on those 2 guys, 2012 is a long time away.
American's have lost their individualism,
everyone wants something for nothing. They think that government is the answer, government has always been the problem. That is what our founders tried to warn us against.
....Some have lost their sense of individualism, true.....But everyone ?
....Our founders who tried to warn us that gov't was the problem, WERE, part of the gov't.
.....states, and indivdual rights was settle after the Civil war and united the states
.....we still have freedom, the catalyst of individualism. What's the problem here ?
People need to read the documents that our country is founded on. Our country was founded on good moral and financial principles, if some one today mentions those same principles, they are made out to be an idiot. No wonder so many people are in financial and moral decay.
Does this mean you giving Bernie Madeoff and other Wall street hegdehogs a pass ?
I'll agree many people do need a financal bitch slap, but many have been outwitted, tempted and assured by the corrupt lending practioners. I believe this makes this system more immoral than the borrower.
We are going the way of Europe and the rest of the world, America will no longer be special and a place where someone can come to to make his mark.
Can we have some tears added to this Glen Beck rant
That is what is so stupid, if conservatives move to the center, they are no longer conservative, it isn't a good old boy white club, you leftists always bring race into it.
Just so you think I won't bring race into this, maybe you'll feel more comfortable with Fox News reporting this....

In reality conservatives are inclusive, we've had women run for Vice-President, blacks in high offices in several administrations,(Bush had more blacks than Clinton)and supported equal rights more than the liberals have.(The southern Democrats would have never allowed equal rights to become law.) The only reason people of certain races are attracted to democrats is because they are led to believe they will get something for nothing, after the elections they are always dissapointed, and then they turn around and vote for the same people that lied to them.
Liberal values never last and they flat out don't work, no matter how many times they are tried , they are always a failure.
Sterotypically, people are attracted to Democrats cause more often than not, they fight for working and middleclass people's rights rather than cater to the super rich and Corperate America advantages.
Why have the establishment Republicans, failed to accept responsibility of the last eight years for having hand-picked G. W. Bush as their candidate and an end result of failed policies from foriegn policies to tax cuts.
When was the last time liberal values was in the Whitehouse that never last and don't work?......The closest thing maybe was Carter, but that was the seventies.......Are you referring to Clinton ?.....If you are, he was a centrist FYI and this country overall gave him a thumbs up approval.
Let's see, which government program really works and is cost efficient? Social Security, Medicare, Post Office(it only began to show a profit when it was privatized). Guess there is nothing in that list. When you send $1.00 to Washington, you're lucky to get $.25 in return.
You can only blame the people for electing the jerks they do, once in office, it is pretty much a lifetime job.
Very few have conservative values, in this country a person gets shouted down for being religious,paying his bills, trying to do the right thing or anything else that makes sense. Until that changes, our country will continue to go down the path it's headed.
Apparently, your under the impression one has to be Conservative (another label) to accept religion, pay bills, and do the right thing. So in your world, one can only have Con' or Lib sterotypical values, not a little bit of both....
Republicans will win many elections, the question is will they be any different than the liberals?
If this upsets you it should, sometimes the truth hurts.
