Falling from #1 in 2008 to now #5.

Per the saying things get worse before they get better....we certainly are well on our way.

We really cannot afford to keep Obama or ANY of the current congress in office.

What do you expect when you have a leader that doesn't think his own country(If he really is a US citizen) is exceptional? Every move he has made was designed to bring the USA down to the lowest common denominator. If he gets re-elected, it will put the final nail in our coffin.

He WON"T get re-elected. People that bought his BS last election are seeing exactly how incompetent he is.

Excellent column in today's NY Post on how Obama tried to be all things to all people and failed at it all. A great read for anyone who'd like a succinct analysis of "what the heck happened".

Ummm.. The article says that Switzerland retained the top spot for the third consecutive year. We fell from the top spot in 2008 - *on Bush's watch*.

But rather than get into the Bush/Obama argument, I'd rather talk about or highlight the other point - that *Switzerland* - a high-tax, public health-care, generally-lots-of-things-today's-GOP-hates country is the reigning champ. One notable thing is that Switzerland is NOT part of the Euro. They still get to make their own policies.

Not angry at all.....just tired of politicians talking about God as though he was a member of a particular party...or that he somehow favors America over all other countries.
Don't think God much cares either about who wins a particular sporting event. :cus:

Oh, get a grip. People with God in their heart often invoke his name to hope that hardship or inconvenience doesn't occur.

Example: "I pray it doesn't rain today, I've a golf round with the guys I don't want to miss"----Would you say "You think God cares about golf, and lambast the speaker?

Just think about it.

Did you say hallucinate? I can do that. :cus:
Seriously, people say things like you used for an example all the time. Thank god I didn't go in the sand trap, thank god it didn't rain today. Those are harmless.
But their are other examples, Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann come to mind who use references to God, either because they really believe what they say or are too naive to know better. I'd choose the latter. Bachmann backing off and saying it she was talking metaphorically when she said the hurricane was a message from God doesn't cut it. I believe she really meant that. I want a President who acts with logic and reality.
With regard to sports, I can't give specific examples but you and I have both heard athletes say in interviews "All glory goes to God" "God was with us today"
I happen to love the Green Bay Packers.....I doubt God has anything to do with any of their victories through history. I don't make myself real clear on this....but you get the gist. :cus:

Well , it is your prerogative to respect a community organizer who has never held a real job in his life. A "man" who has never had a private sector job. A thug who threatens people who disagree with his ideals.

Don't you guys get sick of using the same old bull**** "mean-spirited?"

Tea party hatred? What does the mean? If you mean that the Tea Party is tired of government spending, then you are right.

If you mean that the tea party hates the way government is spending their way into oblivion, then your right.

The Tea Party wants to stop the madness that is Obama and Congress. The Tea Party wants to shrink government, not expand it like Obama has done.

The Tea Party wants government to get the heck out of the way and let small business expand and hire people.
The Tea Party want government to stop throwing obstacles in the way of the free enterprise system. The Tea Party want to the USA to be a leader in oil exploration. The USA has more Oil then most of the other countries combined.
The Tea Party is everybody's brother and sister and mother and father and aunt and uncle and grandmother and grandfather in my neighborhood and most neighborhoods in America.
The Tea Party will stand strong and tall no matter all the left-wing propaganda used against us.

The Tea Party will prevail, and hopefully America will be saved.
