" You just demonstrated your lack of knowledge. McCain was born on a naval base in Panama and his birth certificate/eligibility to be President WAS questioned. At which point he happily handed it over and killed the issue. I guess such an easy move was too much to ask for the other camp, though. Best we got was a doctored image on a stupid web-site. "

" Mr. Carney, thank you for being courageous by expression your opinion knowing full well that the un-American behavior of bullies is trying to shout you down. I have discovered an organization that I believe in, an organization that goes back to the roots of our founders: bornagainamerican.org . Also, why did no one challenge the birth place of Mr. McCain?

" Yeah, it's wrong to shout and bully in order to disrupt other's right to free speech. Unless you're a liberal at the Republican convention, an idiot protester at a college while somebody you don't like is giving a speech or a recruiter is visiting etc etc. THEN...it's 'different'! THEN...it's 'OK'!

Hypocrisy...it's a liberal thing... "

" Thanks for your comment Katie. You are on target. It is disruption, bullying, and rudeness bordering criminality. It is intended to halt discussion, free speech rights, and the possibility of enlightenment.

"Patients First" a front organization for insurance companies. It has organized and bussed Americans all over the nation for the purpose of stopping any possibility that the truth can be discussed.

Deliberately drowning out opposing views is unAmerican, undemocratic, unethical, and a clear obstruction of justice and free speech. "

" Dean,
I agree with and understand what you're saying. But the further we step back from the big picture, things pop up that we can 'blame this on'. FDR, Nixon taking us off the gold standard, Carter etc.

But specifically, the recent recession came for several reasons, with several people objectively identifed by economists as directly involved (yes Bush. But also Bill Clinton, Greenspan, Wall St., American consumer and especially CONGRESS who gave the banks those relaxed lending regulations!)

Since it was the liberals in Congress leading that charge, it's ridiculous to see them "blame Bush". "




Dean wrote on Aug 12, 2009 5:46 PM:

" "The crash started 8 years ago?!?" "2 years ago?!?" Good grief, people! Read some history. The current crash is 1933, when FDR instituted a massive growth in the size of the federal government (New Deal). It didn't work, but that fact was obscured by the outbreak of WWII. Since the USA was practically the only undestroyed country after WWII led to our financial boom in the latter part of the 20th Century. FDR's programs did begin the insidious growth of government that is the root of our current mess. "




Dean wrote on Aug 12, 2009 5:36 PM:

" Art, you have not been paying attention to what the protestors are saying out there!! Wake up!

We DON"T want to "preserve the status quo!" We want to slash federal government size to the bone along with our taxes . A 50% reduction in size would be a good STARTING point. We want to destroy the stranglehold of federal agencies on our private lives. We want a return to a country of 50 sovereign states and not 50 dependencies. We want freedom and liberty. "Preserving the status quo???" Pay better attention, Art! "

" If Bush did not get us into such debt in the first place, the deficit would not be so large. The reality is, folks, that the free ride is over. You can swim the Bering Sea to Russia and get your free ride there and their health care.

If we in Alaska would work harder and stop whining, we might not have this deficit. I see too many potheads sitting around draining our local economy. The local taxes -sales and school taxes- are going up. Where is this oil revenue Palin promised us? "

" Katie, try looking stuff up. When did the crash start? Gee, about two years before Bush left office. Hmm..and what happened around that same time? Oh yeah! The liberals took Congress and passed new regs that drastically eased lending and banking regulations! Wanna go one step farther? Who signed off on that? For starters, how about SENATOR OBAMA and SENATOR PELOSI!

Big reason why those of us with a brain were choking watching them try to be so dang sanctimonius during the campaign and point thier fingers at Bush (who is not blameless either) "




to katie wrote on Aug 12, 2009 8:30 AM:

" katie, bush needed 8 years, 2 wars, and the 9/11 attack to make a deficit of 800 billion dollars.
It took Obama 160 days to turn that into 3.75 trillion dollars.
Who was worse really? it's simple math.

you just don't hand out tax payer money to bail out companies who made bad business choices!
Let the cards fall where they may, and allow others to learn from, and improve on, and real growth will occur. "




Katie wrote on Aug 12, 2009 3:33 AM:

" It amazes me when people blame the deficit on Obama. Uh... where were you the last eight years???? If McCain/Palin were in power (shuddering at the thought) do you really think the deficit would be any lower? Bush left a huge mess to clean up - supported by his Republican SHEEP. Thank you, all of you for condoning the economic mess we're in now. "




Katie wrote on Aug 12, 2009 3:29 AM:

" Dissent is one thing. Disruption is something altogether different. Whatever happened to civilized behavior and respect for a speaker? You don't have to like what's being said, but how can you refute the facts presented if you won't listen? These disruptors don't care for democracy, they just don't like the fact that the Republicans lost big time in the last election. That's not a valid argument against anything, and it's certainly not the way to get people to vote them back in. I won't vote for bullies. "

" Larry Wood SAID: " A reasonable President who will not release his birth, education, and family history?"
President Obama HAS released his birth certificate -- even the REPUBLICAN Governor of Hawaii has seen the original and said that he was born in Hawaii. Obama went to Columbia and Harvard -- there is no secret there. And if you want to see all of Obama's family's history then go to Wikipedia dot com and look at it! "

" that sir, is nothing more than a disturbing contradiction in terms.
"Reason in Government" However, it is laughable!
It would be a more accurate depiction to say "Treason in Government" as that reflects the administration that we now have with Pelosi at the wheel. "

" I got a flat tire last night. I think it was Bush's fault. Or was it Palin's? I forget who I'm supposed to blame for what nowadays. But what I DO know in relation to the government nowadays is that if/when anything good happens (even if it's unrelated to the current administration) it's all thanks to Prophet Obama. But the bad stuff is because of Bush (even if it's related to laws passed by Congress or the almighty Obama himself!).

Gag! "

" There is a video clip of Sarah Palin at abcnews.go.com:80/PollingUnit/Story?id=8157536&page=1 It is priceless, and very telling. She speaks of "some being h - bent on tearing down our nation", "perpetuating pessimism". Very sarcastically, with plenty of body motion and twisted cutsie-pie faces she says "so......in honor of the American soldier, how 'bout you quit making things up?!?!" Perhaps Sarah should take her own advice given her insane "death squad" comments this past weekend. Perhaps we should all strive to become "part of the solution." There's been enough hate - it's time to be proactive. "

" So the American people are "allowing shouting matches"to drown out "the voice of reason". Did you know peaceful disent is actually a RIGHT in this country?Did you know we have a Constitution that gives that right even to those of us that are not Obamanistas aswell as yourself? Our auto industry,banks and insurance companies are essentially federalized. Obama now seeks to federalize the medical and energy sectors. All this is in 200days!!!! This is not a man of "reason" but a man who wants to ration health care Hitler style. This guy is bad,bad news for all of us. "

" I did not like George Bush. I felt he was an inept bumbler and a tool of the global elite. I do not like Barack Hussein Obama either. He scares me more than Bush did. The media and the left pounded Bush for years and because they were exercising their First Amendment rights it was tolerated. Obama though works through intimidation and thinly vieled threats toward those who question his authority.He calls our Constitution "a living document" subject to any interpretation he finds convenient. I believe soon a "crisis" will be manufactured to consolidate his power even more.Bad days ahead. "

" "Mistakes of the Bush Administration" to describe our current health care system.

"Preserving the status quo"

"Fortunate to have a reasonable president"

Wow. Is this the Frontiersman site or the on-line MAD magazine site? The current health care system goes back far, far beyond the past SEVERAL presidents. The 'status quo' should be replaced by a socialist joke of a proposal that's worse than the current one a hundred times over? Obama is 'reasonable' by replacing one system with another that only makes it worse, tripling the debt, etc etc?

Man, that is some STRONG Kool-Aid! "




Larry Wood wrote on Aug 10, 2009 8:20 PM:

" A reasonable President who will not release his birth, education, and family history? That President, the one who called the Mass. cops action in arresting a former professor stupid?
The same President and Congress who have seen the deficit grow to $11 trillion with estimated interest?
The same President who wants a socialist healthcare system that doesn't work in any country on the face of the earth?
Blame it on Bush and deny the reality. Typical lib. "
