One 'might' hope nationalism is on there rise in this country.... Hope is the inoperative word... Ron

Why not do something interesting and start doing articles about how Obama's policies are moving us there. Connect the dots for all of us dumb readers...Ron

It seems that I am always thanking you for your articles BUT thank you once again anyway...Ron

I never get why we blame Obama for being Obama? This in a man who has followed through on every promise he made..... He is in office because we put him there.... The failures in this country can be seen in the mirror of every bathroom in America every morning.... If we want something different to happen then it is we who must make it happen. To long "Panem et Circenses." .... We have generations of football watching and 'must have' buying..... Ask, "What did your sons see you do as they were growing up?" Once you have the answer you will know why Obama is president and may well be president for another four years. Ron

I think it might be OK for you to use the word "white middle class Americans" in your comment..... Ron

Right. What a good way of putting this problem.... Ron

We are in such denial as to the extent of government intrusion that I am beginning to accept that our course, as a nation can't be changed. Obama is simply a continuation on this road. This has been our history with power. One man or group controlling and directing people. No matter that the system has failed many time. With each new attempt at governing we have always came back to the ruler or ruling class controlling and directing. Right and wrong. Good and bad. The power within the the ruling group decides and enforces their ideas and the people agree freely or comply under duress. Our founders thought our form of government could be different. Ron

Am I confused? Does anything really change in terms of what people pay into the tax system? Ron

You common sense choice makes no sense..... Rethink your common sense. I escaped.... Ron

The idea that the voters, in this country, are having to choose between Rick & Mitt should be seen as a loud scream because the bow of the boat is underwater.... All I can think of is we need to focus time and money on the senate races and hopefully expand the house members. When the dust settles people will vote for who they like and (read the polls) the people like out current president. They like the man... don't we get it.... No one LIKES Mitt.....and the voters who know Rick, from his state, didn't like him and what he was doing in the senate.... Don't we get that? When we look at these two candidates we don't need to ask, "For whom the bells tolls." Ron
