The truth is NOT that we have had an incredible economy since 1991, the truth is that we have been bankrupt. Apply the same standards for corporate bankruptcy to the USA, and it will be obvious. If, instead of existing with funny money, the US devalued the dollar to its actual negative worth, most, if not all, of the industrialized world would be forced to face up to their bankruptcy. If that occurred, then economies based upon real assets and worth could once again begin to emerge.

GOP Creating Fuel for Obama

Sydney17 Wrote: Dec 13, 2011 12:41 PM
This primary campaign epitomizes one of the major problems with American politics. The campaign is not about what is good or bad for America. The candidates' diatribes about why it should be "me, and no-one else" invite an "anyone but you" reaction from voters who are concerned about the future of the country. And, the "anyone" may turn out to be Obama, despite his terrible performance and mistaken and failed policies. If Obama is re-elected in 2012, conservatives should abandon the political cesspools that are the Republican and Democratic parties, and concentrate their efforts through a third party, and the candidates of that third party should conduct their campaign on how they will implement the third party's platform.

Weinergate

Blame the women, if you like, but it isn't the women who were elected to public office, it is the men. However, Weiner was not caught doing anything that the voters have deemed to be outrageous in the past. Being a liar and a cheat does not disqualify an office-holder, in the eyes of his constituents. Weiner was simply, in his crude, inept manner, attempting to emulate his hero and role model, Bill Clinton. His failure was not in what he did, but rather, in what he did after he was caught. When Clinton was in his denial mode, voters and political colleagues stepped back from him. But, when he admitted doing what he had denied, his adoring colleagues, Democrats and the media happily gave him a full pardon. Weiner, however,...
This is yet another attempt to rebut the mantras of the hate-mongers. The problem is that those who are not hate-mongers already know these facts, and the hate-mongers don't want to know them.
Another attempt to rebut the mntras of the hate-mongers with facts. The problem is that those who acknowledge the facts have known tor many years, and those who hate don't want to know the facts, they just want to hate. That's a fact.

Israel's Indivisible Legitimacy

The most dangerous enemy of Israel is the American liberal Jewish community, which has given legitimacy to world anti-Israel bias. Liberal American Jews flock to the "one world" concept, in eager anticipation of their acceptance, but "one-world" concepts have never included Jews, and never will. The only safe place in the world for Jews, other than in the USA, is Israel, and Israel's very existence is threatened. But, it is a much simpler matter to anguish over a Holocaust that has already occurred, than it is to act to prevent one that has not yet occurred.

Israel was created as a safe haven for Jews in a world that was not safe for Jews. Those who would destroy that safe haven would destroy the Jews. Those Jews who join the J Street Group and who laud the UN's insidious campaign against Israel, in hopes that their "One-World" posture will enhance their acceptance as fellow world citizens, are sadly mistaken. While American Jews have been very successful in blending into the American culture, some fear that Israel, with its Jewish identity, endangers their acceptance as "World Citizens". They are wrong. In the end, they are still regarded as Jews, and they are still regarded as infidels. Turning their backs on Israel will not change that.

A More Colorful GOP

For years, the Democrats have successfully attracted the vote of "people of color" by telling them that they are discriminated against, and therefore there is a need for compensating legislation and welfare. But, as the "people of color" become the majority, this type of argument should fade, since people of color will become the principal decision-making body. The number of financially well-off people among their ranks will increase. When that happens, there will be greater resistance to the government's taking from those well-off people to redistribute the wealth. The Democratic Party will have to change its definition of "enemy" from "rich white corporations" to simply, "rich". It is questionable that the historic Republican...
This is just another example of why home schooling is generally superior to public school education. Of course, some parents may not be sufficiently educated or qualified to properly school their kids, but consider that that applies to teachers in public schools, as well.
The Tea Party does better in the polls than either the Democrats or Republicans. The Republicans can't seem to grasp the fact that they were voted out of office because of corruption, inaction and greed. The Democrats who are disgusted with what Obama and the Democratic Congress have, or haven't, done, might not be able to bring themselves to vote for a Republican, but they might find the Tea Party acceptable. Conservatives should stop worrying over what the Tea Party can do for the Republicans. The best thing that the Tea Party can do is to get its candidates elected, Republicans or not.
