Shameless but timely plug
Arguing concepts such as individual liberty, ownership of self and labor, individual accountability, and self-determination with a half-dozen people over this BS tipping fiasco I was asked a wonderfully opportunistic question by someone:
"And what do you see when you look in the mirror?"
To which I replied "John Galt."
"And what do you see when you look in the mirror?"
To which I replied "John Galt."
From which follows a pitiful pause thoughtful for its chirping crickets and finally the inevitable response: "Who is John Galt?"
Maybe they have been so stunned that their brains have been erased and they can start out again, learning the truth this time.
When our President speaks of a fast retreat out of a press conference announcing the rising threat of ISIS back to the golf course as "bad optics", it's difficult to imagine a famous person deliberately putting himself under the media microscope...!?!
IMO, O = 0 is a socialist who deconstructs the nation as a student of Cloward and Piven. He doubled the debt with a disguised stimulus as a hope of crashing the economy and leading a parade of lemmings into a socialist utopia of really awful for real "fundamental change.". So far the United States has proven to be put together stronger than a lot of people thought, myself included. So far. A $ bubble may be yet to burst.
O = 0 also believes that the big bad American capitalist republic has caused most of the problems in the world and needs to be taken down several pegs. This misguided thinking inspired his "apology tour" with a couple of visible bows (that were argued not to be bows because crew Obama says so)) at the start of the chairman's first term.
I think O= 0 actually blames the USA for the Cold War. That is why O = 0 thumbed his nose at Europe over a missile defense system Russia did not like.
I think it breaks O = 0's cheating heart that his hero, Putin, who he was overheard offering promises to on what he thought was a switched off mike, has found O = 0 to be a spineless weakling to take advantage of.
Nevertheless, we're on the same side. All the malicious creeps are on the other.
It needs to be out into words, it begs scrutiny, it requires condemnation.
(In response to your "O" statement I agree fully).
you wrote a great comment until you stated, "I like to believe that he would have strong feelings about people who voted twice for a Muslim who was born in Africa and is openly working to destroy this country and has the support of so many others -- with no moral compass to guide them." You wrote it as a statement and not as a question as it could legitimately be> furthermore, by writing as you did, you diminish your legitimate opinions that certainly is validated by the total mismanagement of our economy and by what are clearly socialist and may even be considered communist ideas being fostered by this administration. That this administration has totally mismanaged our economy is without a doubt, the only question that remains is whether it was done purposefully or not?
Other than that caveat, I must fully agree with your intent if not the specifics I mentioned. Casting unprovable aspersions is never a way to be convincing.
