Sorry to disillusion you but my information does not come from your "Faux News." Hope that doesn't hurt your pacifist, cowardly nature.

Yes, America WAS attacked in Brussels. But, perhaps your NBC or MSNBC news didn't enlighten you on that. You were probably watching reruns of Obama in his staring role as Dancing with the POTUS, or giving lessons on doing the wave at the Cuban baseball game. He's definitely got his priorities straight.

American troops are leaving because Iraq doesn't want them there? Are you kidding? Really? That is so funny. Did we ask them permission to invade? Man you liberals and your Global Warming being more important than terrorism, is just more than any sane people can make excuses for.

So, you are ready to elect Bernie the communist pervert or Hillary the criminal that hate the military, cares nothing for national security and classified secrets, and is a tax violator. WE won't go into the lies she perpetrated or how she left her employees out to dry when they needed her backing, allowing them to be killed. Or how she covered it up by claiming a video was the cause. But, yes we know, it's all a Republican conspiracy.

And Obama dances on, and on,......and on......and retirement is right around the corner. Only a couple E.O.s to go.

Laws mean nothing to the left, so what's the point?

Laws mean nothing to the right either. Both sides break them or have them changed.

Both parties are as corrupt as can be...and you'll obligingly vote for the next crook too. What a bunch of whipped wimps you are. For for who YOU want, not who they want you to vote for.

I'm sorry. I have done this before and I think I made the same mistake again.

After getting beat on the head after every response I thought you were just doing the same.

I agree that I don't know who is pulling the strings. Eisenhower was concerned about the very same problem. He called it the military machine. Because he is a man of principals it needs to be considered.

I don't trust Trump. I don't know if Bernie can get enough traction even if he is elected.

I'm just trying to figure it all out. I don't have any answers either.

Then don't vote, and be the stooge that you appear to be. No one cares if you vote or not. Sit back and complain. That will really gain a lot. You are a miserable person.

Obama's approval rating, meanwhile, stands at its highest point since May 2013, and the public expresses broader confidence in him to handle top issues than the Republican leadership in Congress.

Majorities of Americans say they have confidence in Obama on dealing with the economy, handling foreign affairs, appointing the best people to office and providing real leadership for the country. Those figures are all down since December 2008, about a month before Obama took office, but they are well above the public's reviews for the Republican leaders in Congress on the same measure. A majority express confidence in those leaders on handling foreign affairs, but most say they have no real confidence in Republican leaders on the economy, providing real leadership for the country or on their constitutional role of providing advice and consent on presidential appointments.

I will vote, but not for a D or R crook. I'm miserable because I won't vote for a crook? You are the stooge...go ahead, vote for the thief they've place in front of you. Believe them when they tell you...ONLY "our guys" can win. If I'm miserable, it's from dealing with the ignorant rabble who throw up their hands and say...what choice do I have?

Turn off the "news", NOBODY but gays, blacks, and a few brain dead women think he's doing a good job. Not very good company. The country is going to hell. Thank the Ds and Rs, and keep voting for "their guy". Fools...

The Republican party is slowly imploding with its slate of cuckoo would be presidential candidates, and the poor leadership and performance in Congress. Those worried about "the lawless left" should worry about the conservative right falling apart. The public is tired of their shenanigans and their refusal to work with the Democrats. The diehard conservatives live in a bubble based on nostalgia and pining for the old days. What they don't get is that the old days were really quite bad. They must be pining for the days of racism when lynchings and segregation were the norm, the days that women stayed home and didn't have a place in industry or leadership, the days of fear of global nuclear war, the days when Jews couldn't get into country clubs. And they have Fox news to fan that nostalgia, but sadly they are out of touch with the majority of Americans.

You live in a very special place in your mind. Yes, the Republican party is having to reevaluate itself. But, to make a uninformed comment that it has poor leadership in congress is to totally disregard the dictatorial rule of Reid and Pelosi that failed so miserably. You can't blame that on the Republicans. They did that to themselves, by themselves. They should never have gone against the majority of America with their extreme left movement. The left is floundering because of power happy idiots that cared nothing for this country.

Racism is a figment of liberal imagination that has been fed and nurtured by the liberals until it has become a divisive trait culminating from the left. It has only become a reality in this generation because of the divisive leadership(?) of the left in the last seven years. Racism and bigotry is a tool of the left.

To say that the Republicans are failing is actually quite ludicrous. There has been an increase in voter turnout by a minimum of 50% in the Republican primaries. There has been a decrease in Democrat voter turnout of more than 20%. Democrats are in a panic.

You say stupid things like how conservatives wish for the good old days of racism and warmongering. I say stupid, because you can't possible be that retarded to believe the liberal lies. Do you not see what is happening even this week all over the world? Terrorism is not a figment of imagination and will not go away peacefully. You liberals sit back and complain about a relative that might have to fight and blame it on conservatives. News flash, when you show weakness to Islamic extremists it works like blood to sharks. We will have to fight a long and bloody war because of stupid liberal PC. You can't acknowledge the enemy so the enemy laughs at you and kills your family. You are at fault, not the conservatives. You can't reason and negotiate with these fanatics. You have to kill a lot of them and then threaten the rest. They only respect power. They have always been like that. Too bad liberal history does not reveal that to you. You have the new history books that says America is wrong for being involved. Well, you can stand back and not help our allies, but eventually the war will be here and those allies will stand back and enjoy seeing us grovel in the dirt helplessly weak.

Conservatives have been too quiet about the liberal trend of accusing them for their own failures. Congressional Republicans did not take part in the illegally forced through Obamacare bill, and now the left blames it's failure on the Republicans. Sorry, but you own it. Being a party of "no" is a good thing when it comes to gov spending. And Obamacare is going to cost us trillions and may even be our downfall if not taken out of the equation.

So, blame us for racism and bigotry, but it is the left that caused the division, not the right. Don't agree, then prove it. WE had problems with neither before Obama. And now there is a higher rate of minority unemployment, record food stamps and highest rate of non-working force since the depression. The Republicans did cause the slowest recovery of ANY recession or depression in history. That's all the left's leadership and control that owns it.

So, keep spouting your lefty lies but grownups aren't going to fall for it. Go back to your high school blog where you might convince someone.

No edit button. Should say:
The Republicans did NOT cause the slowest recovery of ANY recession or depression in history.

The opposition and especially inepts like Obama who only know how to speak (I should say read) and the lemmings who believe and follow have no concept or responsibility to DOING SOMETHING about a problem.

Of course we all know it is safer to be a bleacher quarter back and just run ones mouth.

In Obama's case it is a blessing in disguise. The less he does the better off we are.

:agree: absolutely!

Boohoo, I'm so sorry you repubs, by the thousands could not see trump, the coward, bigot, vulgar, mentally unbalanced new leader of the repub fragmented party. lol

Yes and they were in unions, something your supreme commander, reagan, showed the companies how to get rid of. There was a middle class making a decent living, its gone.

I thought the repubs were for law and order, or did the go the way of family values?

You're right, the middle class is about gone, thanks to the left. They want everyone to be poor, so the elite can be the royalty they crave so. Unions served their purpose until gov regulations made them no longer necessary. Now, the mob has to find other venues for their revenue.

Naw, if the Republicans did away with their "law and order and family values" then we would be libtards. It's amazing how you libtards feel that it is perfectly acceptable to enter a function and create a disturbance, and then blame the those that are peacefully gathered to participate in that function. The left perpetrates the crime and then becomes the victim.

anarchy : "absence of government" Sounds like repubs saying from day one of Obama's administration, we will do everything to bring him down. Not what is good for the country, but what can we do to block everything. The recent blockage is the supreme court. Oh, I know they are doing their job. lol

The corporations moved the jobs, Americans were too expensive to employ.

When you have a candidate Obama campaigning with the idea of doing everything he can to socialize this country, YES it is the responsibility of those that we elected to keep that from happening. Apparently the majority agreed with us, and that is the reasoning behind a Republican majority in congress. Obama ran on a platform of bringing everyone together and then told everyone that the Republicans were "the enemy.....and should sit at the back of the bus."
Obama became the enemy, as well as Grayson that said that republicans wanted old people to die. Pelogrossi said the Tea Party was astro turf. Reid stopped all bills that entered the Senate from the House and kept them from being voted upon, and you wonder why conservatives sought to limit the left?

And yes, the blocking of the supreme court nomination is no different than what the left would do and did promise to do in the past. You indignation is quite disingenuous.

This is such CRAP....The right wing is so ignorant they vote for a party doesn't care about the middle class. They bust unions and label it a "Right to Work State" Yep its a right to work for less. Are the lefties shipping jobs overseas...no that is the Corporations doing that for more profit. We cut their taxes, I paid a higher percentage on my taxes than many corps. You all have embraced Reaganomics.....Why don't you look that whats happened to Kansas, Louisiana, New Jersey and Wisconsin after 8 years of this crap.

Stop watching Faux News...they just lie to you!

What is it that we need to be afraid of now?

Are killer whales crossing the border too?

:thumbup:

Dude, it was the last seven years of liberal control that hurt the middle class. Look at the statistics. Don't be so resistant to learning something new. It's the 21st century. Things have changed since you were out comatose, Van Winkle. Take a chill pill, and open a book or use the Google. It's pretty easy, really.

If you are so hot on Socialism, try reading about how it's hosing up Europe. Here, I'll make it easy for you, Google "Greece." Come back after you do that and I will give you some more homework.

Here's a link about the American middle class slipping since 1979.
5 Charts That Show How the Middle Class Is Disappearing | BillMoyers.com

The only way to increase the lifestyle of the middle class is to provide a decent, less restrictive playing field for businesses that hire workers. If the economy is up, then the wages go up and there is more hiring. We have a crappy economy, so we have a stagnant middle class. More rules, regulations and restrictions, cause less hiring. Less profit available to business, less hiring and less wage increases. In the past seven years, the gov has attempted to restrict and regulate busines to the point where they are not playing along. No matter what Obama and the socialists say, you can't increase the middle class by making someone pay higher taxes. That money is not going to the middle class. The higher the taxes, the less employment your are going to have. The less wage hikes you are going to have. All you will accomplish is putting more people on a gov subsidy.

Which is the problem as that is what is expected. Let them work for what they get like they did in the 30's and 40's with federal work projects.

Let them work on building THE WALL!

I think you are correct. We need Federal Works Projects. We need to do something drastic to get people back to work. I would rather see all those workers correcting the infrastructure. I see some common ground here. How did all those programs funded? We need a man courageous enough to act like Presidents Roosevelt and Taft.

You had me until you got to the line with Roosevelt in it. I've got no use for a socialist. But, otherwise I concur.

I wonder how many folks would remain on welfare if you made a stipulation that in order to collect their welfare, they must put in so many hours working on the wall or infrastructure? Why not make them do SOMETHING for the gov freebie? I bet we would literally do away with poverty level citizens.

My dad told me he didn't know he was poor during the depression. He said everyone was poor. If he had a TV or the internet back then he would know he was poor. His hobby was pigeons. Eventually he got around to golf.

You like the program but not the man who thought of it and got it passed.

Try 35 years of trickle down and cuts fir the rich. Get your facts straight.

That's slavery. Why do you think half the blacks are on welfare? Nobodies gonna MAKE them do ****!

My grandmother use to tie onions on the bottom of my feet when I got a high fever. My mom went along with it because it was harmless.

My point is that not all old people make sense but because of Trump just being Trump anything stupid that jumps in their head does not need to be filtered anymore. The philosophy that to be PC is to be in opposition to the first amendment.

I like my Medicare and Social Security...Thanks to Roosevelt.

They allow the Middle Class to retire safely.

Guess which state collect the most Welfare?

It Looks Like Red States Take Most in Federal ‘Welfare’ from this Map. But Looks Can Be Deceiving.

Lazy ass whites collect welfare to!!!

They sure do, but percentage wise, blacks are the clear winners. You know that, so stop being dishonest.

Half the blacks are on welfare in BOTH red and blue states. What's your point? Percentage wise the black population is higher in red states. What's your point? The higher the percentage of blacks in a state the higher the need for federal help to pay for them? I agree.

I am glad you are "safe." Although, I guess some have given up their pride to allow the gov to control their retirement like that. Doesn't say much for good old American self-reliance. I have never used my Medicare, since I have private insurance. For me, it was a waste of payroll taxes for the past 45 years. Social Security was OK in the last century, but now is so outdated it's now a Ponzi scheme. If it had been invested properly like for instance the Thrift Savings Plan, I would be living in a much better standard of living. Unfortunately, our SS fund was borrowed from by congress to pay bills and all we have now is IOU's with low interest returns. And by the way, you enjoy your SS now because if someone doesn't do something about it soon, they will have to cut the payments down to management levels. And they can, too. And forget about our children getting any benefit from SS. It won't be there unless congress does something about it. The numbers are just not there. Not when you have 50% of the population out of the workforce.

So, live in your Obama Utopia and maybe vote for Sander's socialism, because the days of the great middle class is behind us....thanks to a greedy over spending congress that has hosed up the economy and makes it even worst by passing the monster Obamacare that will bankrupt and finish off our country. Can't blame Obamacare on the Republicans.

It's the big corporations that run/control everything, that's where the blame should go. THEY put their guys in government to do their bidding.
