Why is something so easy for many of us to understand, so hard for others to grasp. Or is all of this "fairness" BS merely the means to grab power over the masses? I suspect that and the ability to take ever more money away form the people via taxes and use some of it to gain reelection and power.

Politicians themselves are the best argument for term limits, they will bankrupt the country in an effort to keep themselves in office....then toddle off to the next big plan for keeping power.

We have to face it, we have a president who hates America and Americans, that includes businesses.

The search for politically correct answers leads folks down some interesting paths. Those of us with ancestors from a variety of countries would take a page to hyphenate all of the links.

I am horrified at the brainwashing that is taking the place of education in today's schools.

The welfare of the ordinary American poeiople no longer matters, only the power of the politicians.

Outstanding Dr. Sowell! The whole thing is being driven by politicians who want votes in order to gain power. They care nothing about what is good for the country, only what they perceive to be good for them.

I am afraid you are absolutely correct. His withdrawal will only serve to embolden those who will allow no one with differing views to have a say. It is interesting that the left's intolerance for conservatives is attacked with much the same vengeance as the old time racists attacked blacks in a day gone by. This is true no matter whether we are talking gay marriage, endangered species, or any other left agenda. The noise and the absolute hatred for those with an opposing view is so similar to the noise and absolute hatred for rights for blacks in former time.

Sadly, I think you are right.

Obama only cares about making the world "like" us. He simply does not understand respect, or the fact that countries have to respect us before they actually "like" us. Remember he was going to undo the dislike "caused" by Pres. Bush standing up for our country, by talking to our enemies. And let's face it Obama is very good at giving speeches, not much else.
