I think it was all President Bush's inability to articulate his positions to the American people. We need leaders who have strong voices that can be heard. Most of all, we need voices for the little ones who need parents.
the american people? it is the media that dictates and pushes an agenda to the people. let's face it, most people in america don't have a clue. IT WAS BUSH'S INABILITY TO ARTICULATE? Perhaps he was not the most eloquent of speakers but his mind was a lot sharper than many give him credit. ooops - capitalized a letter by mistake. the left wing media rules this country -- and do not deny it. why -- the assholes in hollywood who many americans believe are all knowing and suck up to. their opinions... give me a break!
the electoral college was brilliant in the days when it was necessary. that is, there was no mass communication or internet or computers that could calculate the vote in real time. the electoral college served a purpose to send the vote when it was horse and buggy time! if the founding fathers had known, or rather had been able to see into the future, wouldn't they have ascertained the fact that the elctoral college was a temporary need? and then realized as modern means of communication had arisen there would be a better way? today we can count votes in real time -- if the system would allow it. i am afraid until there is a standard form of voting - and don't even think by interent (fraud)that we will have to endure this archaic system for what it is.
as for minority groups voting --- I cannot wholly agree with ben2006. yes it is a fact that the votes were bought. and those democrats used the system to brainwash many of the minority voters. hell, when you see a black person proclaim that they "... won't have to work, Obama is gonna<sic> take care of us." - then you understand. The whole election was a sham. And this guy is out of control. Obama is a great speaker. So was Jim Jones who got all those people to drink poison koolaid.
And he is going around the world kissing asses and apologizing to most everyone. For what? Because we as Americans care about the rest of the world? Shit, if my tax dollars were spent here in the US I wouldn't have to bust my ass working long hours to live comfortably. Yet, there are those who don't do a damned thing -- and I am supporting them. Many not because they can't. But because they refuse. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is barely the tip of the iceburg! Does anyone realize how much money the USA spend supporting other countries etc...? We spend enough on useless programs and foreign aid that every American can live in a very nice home and eat well forever!!!! Not to mention that every kid would have free college education. And I promise I am not a socialist.
It is truly amazing! How did this, what started as a bitch about non-heterosexual types adopting children, turn into how F__'d up America is? ?????????????
I believe it was nasfan6's post at 12:59:32 about a nations sovereign right to self governance. Interestingly, it's the (at least perceived) view that most of the rest of the world has that the USA has recently ignored this right of other nations that has led to Pres Obama "kissing asses and apologising" as you put it.
Again, not being anti-American, but you did ask.
Oh, and just to put a little something straight - the fact that the rest of the world trades oil in USD more than makes up for American funds spent on foreign humanitarianism.
Don't worry, I won't mistake you for a socialist :)
RB -We need leaders who have strong voices that can be heard. Most of all, we need voices for the little ones who need parents."
How about this? Going to another post on Roe v. Wade: This is only MY opinion. If anyone gets an abortion they should be "fixed" right then and there! Unless it is of course a pregnancy due to some illegal action. And both parties should be "fixed". I don't care if it some dumb hi school kid knocks up his girlfriend after a Friday night football game. If the girl gets an abortion - both of them get fixed. Shit, put me in charge. Things will improve greatly. And I'll tell you what. The line at the welfare office will go down greatly. Shit! There are so many unwed (minority) mothers it is laughable. But you can't laugh because it is also very sad. And they continue to do it. And the fathers are very proud to have contibuted to the moral deliquency of their race. Very proud to have a few little welfare babies running around wondering who their father is.
We wouldn't need voices for the little ones who need parents if there was moral decency. And of course the left wing liberal agenda applauds this behavior. It is what got obama elected in the first place. An amazing number of the voters in this last election voted for the first time ever in their lives. Was it because suddenly they were good Americans who were in tune to the dealings of the country and the issues to be addressed? I think not!
Good point, Julian. We now have a president who not only is for abortion, but also approved federal funds for it.
"There are so many unwed (minority) mothers it is laughable."
I will not make a study on this, but don't blame this all on the minorities. I will say though that when there were a series of protests for illegal immigration, there was very little counterprotests.
Yes, I can see that the media is liberal biased. The liberals won the election on the war and economy. They used President Bush as a punching bag. The president can call news conferences and address the nation on what was happening. I don't believe he did enough to do that.
OH I forgot Muzzy. Oil is traded in USD? Great. What if oil was traded on boxes of rocks? If I give you more rocks than I get back, you win. Good thing the world currency isn't based on grains of sand. Granted we in the US have plenty of sand reserves -- that would put many EU nations in a hell of a mess. Australia -- they'd be in good shape. And a few others. But --- never mind. America spends so much around the world it is ludicrous. Yet we are now borrowing - have been - from countries we have been sending money to for decades. WTF?
The fact that oil is traded in USD means that all oil trading nations reserve huge amounts of money in US banks - permanently. When the UK buys from Saudi Arabia, how do you think the payment is actually made? It's just transferred from one US bank account to another. And we are talking big bucks here - so much its difficult to imagine - all sitting in your bank accounts earning your banks, and your economy, lots of coin.
Economies like Swizerland and Lichtenstien are propped up (sometimes completely) through foreigners storing money in their accounts to avoid tax, but this is pocket change compared to what's stored in your economy by all oil dealing nations on earth - including those you've given money to.
All I'm saying is that money flows in all directions, and it's inaccurate of you to suggest that the US is somehow the cash cow for the world. I won't get into any of the other stuff, you and RB seem to be having too much fun.
Incidentally, a few years back, Iraq was proposing switching it's oil trading currency to the Euro. Not any more of course. Now, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but....
