Hay!Stop this war why is it necessary?We have freedom right!Like in history"A republic if you can keep it!"

80% of America says we are on the wrong track and yet what are those people doing to get us on the right track?

Obama has not yet been scrutinized.. just watch this next month and see what happens..
The demagoughery of Obama was successful so we must as the few in this country who actually think..make sure that we also participate in scrutinizing.. let as many people know as possible.. this man is a danger to us and our country ..he is a racist and hater of whites as evidenced by his Cones black liberation theology that he has been indoctrinated in for 20 years..personally by Wright..which explains the rantings of Wright and the clapping, cheering and dancing in the aisles by the congregation who were in fact confirming and endorsing the actions and words of Wright as it is what they all believe.. white hate and racism..Obama included.. and it is what he now teaches his little girls. This mans unsavory friends alone should disqualify him from public office..which of course the voters can reflect..but so many other things speak so loudly about him..his lack of integrity for he had 20 years to stand up against hate and racism and he did not.. his poor judgement is not exactly a leadership quality either..
Well to all you Obaminites I think you will be drinking your Kool aid soon.. when you hear the scrutiny start you will also get a better idea of just who your messiah is.. what he stands for..

Unemployment numbers fluctuate, as does productivity. Real wage rates fluctuate and so do inflation rates. Cite your "average" statistics all you want...but use better sources than Lott of Fox News.

Try to see if the Right Wing would also include the current value of the U.S. dollar vs. other world currencies; perhaps such "reality" would bite them back. This is true reality. Our economy is tanking.

The fascination the Right has with smaller government and lower taxes is apparently kept through ignorance of our overly-increased debt ceiling since Bush took office. Sure, pay for your war with borrowed capital; look the other way when critical industries profiteer during "wartime," bail out the banking institutions when their capital schemes fail, and ignore the crony/contractor pirates working at every level.

Keep shouting vehemently against your other pet whipping boy: the "welfare state" but consider pointing the finger at the real weakling recipients of government handouts: irresponsible corporations. Until you are willing to take a dose of true reality, it would behoove you to go stand in the corner with your uninformed tantrums and let the rest of us try to sort out solutions to the problems your gang has left in its wake...

Let's try to make points without ascribing arrogance or narrow-mindedness, please. The United States is not a Christian nation, but rather a nation made predominantly of Christians. This is not a distinction without a difference. Israel is a Jewish state, founded on Jewish precepts. India is a Hindu state. America is different. Of course, the Founders were, for the most part, believers. And they understood the need for civic institutions to inculcate virtue. They thought religion was essential for maintaining liberty. You or I could point to dozens and dozens of examples, but George Washington is a great one. I've quoted him elsewhere, but his Farewell Address is worth quoting again here:

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

So why isn't the United States a Christian nation? Because the country was founded in part on religious liberty. The beauty of the American system, of course, is that we're free to practice our religious faith more or less as we see fit, without government meddling.

The trouble with saying "America is a Christian nation" is that the phrase carries baggage that the Founders likely never intended. The trouble with saying "America isn't a Christian nation" is that it's so easily misunderstood.

I had in my experience, a man tell me that we should have prayer in the schools. He called himself a "Born Again Christian" So when I said I would agree that we should have prayer in school, but we would need to level the playing field by having a different prayer from at least four of the major religions that we have in this country. Shintoism, Muslim, Christian, and a choice of several others.
He went ballistic when I mentioned other religions other than Christians. He told me in no uncertain terms, that Christian was the only true religion and all of the founding fathers were Christians. On that piece of info he was dead wrong. Pretty arrogant I thought.

That does not change the fact that your senator's vote is bought and paid for by special interests, or that your personal freedoms are melting like an ice cube in a hot tub right before your very eyes, or to simply uphold the law is made too difficult by government allowing Mexico to invade and concur our country. Look at the bigger picture my friend! We can't even get a decent person to run for president. Ron Paul wasn’t perfect, but I fear that he was the last honest candidate to ever run for office of President of the United States.

Over fifty months of job gains and economic growth.

I agree America is on the wrong track. I am a Democrat, but believe the DNC is totally infiltrated now with left wing loons. The Party is no longer the same Party my parents and grandparents believed in. It is controlled by special interest groups like Move On.org, Daily KOS, and LaRaza. The media for the most part have conditioned America slowly over the years to buy in to politically correct jargon, far left mentality. That these philosophies are the norm, that people who disagree are evil, unfeeling. I really think America has to reach down to the bottom of despair, before they see what they have given up and revolt. Obama's candidacy will bring Socialism to America. If you don't think so, wait and see. It appears America only learns from its experiences. And cannot see the forest for the trees!

Democrats and the corrupt so-called main stream media are pulling out all stops to get a Democrat elected President in November.The more bad news they can create, the better.
How apalling!! Let's allow the free markets to work. They have always done so in the past.
Government meddling has shown to benefit very few except the meddlers, the bureaucrats they appoint, and the agencies they create !!

Just listen to the recent speeches on the floor of both the Senate and the House, and you'll get the idea. And there will be more to come.

I totally agree that a lot of our economic problems have been brought on by consumers. However, I'd like to point out that it seems to have worsened since Pelosi and her Democratic friends took their positions.

Thank Goodness. After so much money has been wasted on unorganized programs, it's time for people to realize that social programs need to be looked at.
Now before anyone starts complaining about the cost of the military, our defense budget is but a fraction of the antiquated social welfare systems the country has be keeping in place. Yet when anyone has the nerve to try and fix this problem, he or she is labeled as an outcast to both political parties.
It's time we have change, to borrow the common rhetoric that we hear every 4 years, and have someone with the nerve to do something about this. After, over 50% of our budget goes into this, we might want to fix it.

read these, then guess who said it. Scroll down for answers!

First one:
Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose -- and you allow him to make war at pleasure.

If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him?

You may say to him, 'I see no probability of the British invading us' but he will say to you, 'Be silent; I see it, if you don't.'

Second one:
Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -­ kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -­ with the cry of grave national emergency.

Always, there has been some terrible evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.

First Answer: Abraham Lincoln
Second Answer: General Douglas MacArthur

Does any of this resonate with what we are hearing today??

All the good people around the world should realize that we must participate in our various governmental systems -- to give feedback to our elected officials to keep them in line -- or risk the loss of our existing rights, and risk the takeover by "crooks".

It has happened many times before in many countries, and usually when the citizens get lazy and ignorant, and take for granted what their forefathers have lived and died to provide for us.

To respect our forefathers and future generations, we MUST participate in the game of society.

Right now in the USA, we are at risk. Let's all get with it!!!!

Write to your elected officials to let them know your position on issues that are important to you, and are important to our nation. Hold them accountable to uphold the responsibilities that we elected them to perform. Use your rights as a citizen or you are at risk of losing those rights!

People give too much credit to the president's powers. Much of what is going on in our country is by no means a direct result of President Bush but by that of the consumers, business leaders and world affairs (Iraq being 1 affair out of many more).

Are you registered to vote? If Hillary was Obma's mother she would have been a very young mother indeed. Gorge Bush had about as much experience as Obama when he took office. If experience had one (it did but the court decided the election in the end) Al Gore would have been president. How much different would this country have been if the popular vote actually meant something. Experience definetly would have made a dramatic difference. We would already be creating green jobs and the war in Iraq would not have happened. So you vote for no experience and pray that should we elect the one with no experience again, he will have a better go at it.

Time for some perspective, people. Is America really going in the wrong direction?

John Lott (via The Conservative Mindreader)

Lott writes on Fox News.

A little perspective on the economy would be helpful. The average unemployment rate during President Clinton was 5.2 percent. The average under President George W. Bush is just slightly below 5.2. The current unemployment rate is 4.8 percent, almost half a percentage point lower than these averages.

The average inflation rate under Clinton was 2.6 percent, under Bush it is 2.7 percent. Indeed, one has to go back to the Kennedy administration to find a lower average rate. True the inflation rate over the last year has gone up to 4 percent, but that is still lower than the average inflation rate under all the presidents from Nixon through Bush’s father.

Reality bites. Of course we know how the left wing media will lie about the economy to justify a return to Democrat rule.

It's a good thing that there isn't one running, then.

Obama may not have the experience but he learns fast. I rather have him in the White House that Hillary who I do not trust at all. Obama will do what is best for all of us, not just the few rich people. Making decisions that make your own life better is not what I want. I want someone who will work for all the people.

Why do you think Obama don't have the experience to become President? President Kennedy was only 34 year old.

How about Bush, what has he done!

Please, don't think like that, it is not true.

Hillary should have more experience she is old enough for Obama mother.

Let's see the listing of commonalities.

1) Failed responses to hurricanes.
2) War with Iraq
3) Recession and job loss
4) Undermined Republican brand
5) Low approval ratings.
