Eyes Wide Shut

Just because it has not been successfully done in the past... does not mean that it is not possible. If anyone is capable of success, it is B.O. It is time for you to get behind, and support your new president.Or, I guess you can still wish that we had elected a man who planned to continue the policies that have put us where we are today...Together. Yes We Can.

That reasoning lacks total logic. In detail, tell me exactly how moving money from top to bottom will create jobs. I've heard 2 years of neat phrases. Give me details, logical reasoning.
By the way, it's time to put the Kool Aid down. Jim Jones and Adolf Hitler used lots of nifty catch phrases that their followers loved to shout. If your Superhero turns out like one of those guys, do you really want to keep using his propaganda phraseology? If I can borrow your version of logic for a moment, Just because B.O. doesn't seem like he could be a bad guy right now, doesn't mean he won't be. Truly and honestly...for the sake of this country and the world, I hope he's not. The problem is, we don't know enough about the guy to know for sure.

Before your new savior walked the Earth, this country was created by people who came over here and suffered tremendous hardship quite simply for the right to pray their own way. Many years later, this country fought against the king and themselves for freedom. One of the sparks that kicked off this battle for Independence was not because of the peoples wish for socialized health care or other government entitlement programs....it was in fact the sheer anger and frustration they suffered under heavy taxation. Shocking to liberals, I know, but if you actually look in the history books, it is there. If you look at where we have come as a nation, and in an amazingly short amount of time when compared to the age of the world, this nation of lower taxes and capitalist democracy has proven to be the most successful model of government in history. Is it failing now...yes. Why...because if you look back, and I know liberals hate doing that because they only want to look forward for hope and change without grounding it reality, We succeed most when our government is least intrusive into our own personal lives. Remember, the only reason the Depression ended, was WWII, we were still deeply entrenched in the depression, even with all of the Entitlements and New Deal programs. Roosevelt is always looked at as a guy who came in and helped with big government. The big programs didn't fix the problems, War and the effect it had on our capitalist system is what eventually saved the day. Capitalist Democracy is not perfect, no form of government is. Let's just try and keep a little historical perspective and remain grounded in reality as we move forward. B.O. may turn out to be a fantastic president and I hope that is the case. But, just in case he doesn't walk on water and heal people with words, just be aware of the signs to look for.

History can teach you, all you have to do is look at it. With several well known leaders in the past, many of them were loved, admired and followed beyond the gates of hell. They came to power and their people adored them and put them on pedestals in ways that are insanely similar to how Obama has come to power. They also killed, commit tortures and suicide for their beloved leaders.

The fact is, this country was built on and is still more than capable of creating amazing opportunity. The President nor the Government should ever have enough control to stifle the attitude that America has maintained for so long. We Can because we are free to make it happen.
