It takes all types to make a country. Some will be even further right than he is, but we all gotta get along. My father fought for his freedom to write his words, even if I despise the direction of them.

I am as white as a man can get, except for little brown dots on my skin, but I respect all colors of skin; all religious choices; all sexual preferences. I may not always agree with them, but I respect them anyway. It is not my decision on whether it is right. That is to each individual and their God.

I've already conveyed my thoughts. Now, I can see why America is getting flushed down the toilet.
 
It's official. Obama breaks all presidents' records on spending.

Bush spent $1.8 trillion in 2001, according to government budget figures that have been adjusted for inflation based on 2000 dollars. Using the same formula, former President Bill Clinton spent $1.6 trillion in 1993.

The last president to clock in under $1 trillion was Gerald Ford, who logged a $982 billion budget in 1975. Post-war Dwight Eisenhower even brought Uncle Sam's tab down to $556 billion in his first year, 1953.

Obama's first-year budget, adjusted for inflation, is about five times that. His 2009 budget is also close to 21 percent of that for Clinton's eight years in office -- Clinton's spending added up to $13.5 trillion over his two full terms. Bush spent $16.8 trillion from 2001-2008.

Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents - FOXNews.com

No wonder his polls keep going down. And people still approve of his massive spending spree? I question their sanity to even think that.

my best friend whom I'm considered as a brother-for-life has served for this nation with blood and sweat as US Army Rangers and nearly got killed at cold snowy mountain in Afghanistan to rescue a fallen Navy SEALs (I've posted an article about him and his fubar rescue mission while back). I showed him your post and asked for his thought. He asked me to convey his thought about your post.

:sure:

btw - he didn't even finish reading it. sorry. so back to topic - as I said in my post #46, so let's see if Obama's rating will be lower than Bush... then come back and tell me :)

but GWB didn't use the poll to set his agenda and direction. He ignored it. He fired people in his office for opposing him. Makes you wondered why he's the most hated President in the world and why there's a general agreement that the past 8 years was the darkest period of American history.

The only poll Obama needs to consider is the one that shows he was elected by a landslide on the platform he ran on. :lol: The vast majority have already voiced their support for his direction and agenda when they cast their votes.:P
 
Hey...

My grand-dad fought in WW2 during D-Day.

Does he have the rights to complain about the direction where America is going? He did save Americans from fascism as well.

:)

Probably not because he didn't have an American citizenship.

He has as much right as anyone else. At least he has the ethics of duty to lend credibility.

My families have also fought for your freedom to write your words as well. My cousin even gave his life with a bodyfull of shrapnels imbedded from a thrown exploded grenade in Kuwait in 2003 in the effort to help protect and ensure freedom in America by going after the enemy abroad. My great uncle took a Japanese sniper bullet in the back on one of the islands in the Pacific during WWII. My nephew did three tours in Iraq as a Marine who narrowly escaped an incoming rocket. His father which is my brother served as a Marine early in his life. My sister in the Air Force and Army. A few others of my extended family or cousins are also in the Armed Forces with one currently in Afghanistan. So, yeah, I'm proud of them all for serving our country and I realized for a long, long time ago that freedom is never free but it is fought with blood just so people can have the freedom to write and use me as their verbal punching bag because they want to and not just because they can. Isn't America great? (sarcasm) Of course, I know where I stand. I stand true to my conviction and beliefs. Everybody deserve a chance to experience freedom and liberty, but the laws must be obeyed and not abused nor circumvented. Thank God for our American soldiers. America is a great, great nation. There is no need to be sorry or guilty about our country.

Exploiting your cousin's death isn't the proper way to honour his dedication and sacrifice to the nation of America. Especially when you weren't even close to him in the first place.

Tasteless.

I honor him and the sacrifices he has done for America, as well as those who have served or are serving now. Just as I have honored my great uncles and other relatives of the past I have never met but still I honor their courage to serve and protect America. I have long since placed a US flag in memory of Major Stone and know the value and the cost it took to keep the U.S. flag flying. But you don't. That's the difference between you and I. A patriotic American versus someone who isn't.

You are absolutely correct! I am not an American, instead, I am a patriotic Canadian!

If you are a patriotic American, this country is in a world of shyte. You have already proven that your priority is self serving, not country serving.
