    Everyone in the world is free to wander around America with complete impunity. No one need leave. That's what happens when a country doesn't have borders.

    Obama renewed the Patriot Act when it was about to expire. Obama uses the FISA courts and has expanded the national security state started by Bush. Since 2001 the US Govt. has become a greater threat than any foreign power or group.

    Yeah, Nixon just talked about using the IRS against his political enemies and the GOP had the cajones and told Nixon it would be best for the country that you resign.

    Nixon would have been impeached in the House but there would have been no conviction in the Senate.


    Obama did use the IRS targeting conservatives and the Tea Party.

    The Democrat party doesn't have any cajones and will keep protecting their community organizer no matter how much damage he does to the Constitution, America and the world.

    America is witnessing the biggest constitutional crisis in America's history and Republicans and Democrats will not even acknowledge it.

    If Nancy Pelosi reads this post, she'll break out in tears while calling my post "insulting."

    I'm not going to claim that all white liberals and progressives hate white people, but those white beard scratching leftist who are radical extremist do hate white people. They hate themselves.

    I remember watching CNN interviewing white voters on election day back in 2008 and how many said "I'm voting for Obama to prove I'm not a racist." :roflol:

    Then you had that 17 year old Ann Dunham who was doing a black married African Marxist, she also hated all whites, well, at least all white men.

    Now Ann Dunham (maiden name ) going from a black African Marxist to a communist Indonesian, I wonder if there was a penis size shock ?

    White House to Cheney: We’re ‘More than Happy’ to Compare Our Econ Record with Bush






    The Obama administration would be more than happy to compare its economic record with that of the Bush administrations, according to White House senior advisor David Simas.

    In an interview with CNN’s New Day, Simas was asked to respond to former Vice President Dick Cheney‘s comments in Playboy suggesting President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder “play the race card” and that the previous administration’s economic record is being dismantled by the current group’s policies.

    “We’re more than happy to compare the record of this administration over the past six years that inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and is in the fifth year of record job creation, which is the fastest pace in this country’s history,” Simas told CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota. “We’ve taken historic deficits and reduced them by two-thirds and we’re gradually bringing to an end to two wars that the previous administration got into.”

    Simas challenged Cheney to have an actual debate on the “merits” of policy. “This is a great debate between two contrasting visions,” he added.

    Everywhere Obama has failed as a President, George W. Bush did it 10 times worse. For all intensive purposes, Bush was a white Obama. A worse version even. And no, he was not impeached either.

    that might be because you don't understand why we impeach Presidents.

    You prefer socialism?

    Bush wasn't the best president but he's not to blame. He invaded Iraq but that's it. As far as the economy is concerned, it goes like this


    Banks are business. Like all businesses, theyre in it for the money.

    Bush believed in democracy and didn't like to interfere with businesses because that would be socialist.

    So who's fault is it? Well it's obvious that the government had nothing to do with it. Because they imposed no regulations constricting a money making business

    People who take a lone out for a $400000 when they only make 34000 a year. It's those people's fault. the banks didn't beg people to take their money. They just made it easy.

    The housing market collapse is a result of dumb Americans buying thing that they know they can't afford. this coused the recession. Not bush

    Yes. Nixon got busted for spying on political enemies. Obama who had NSA track all calls. Even our close allies in Europe.

    Nixon-spying on political enemies
    Obama-spying on political enemies, every American and our allies in Europe.

    Hmmm. Windeed who's worse.
    ALL DATA

    texts, Internet, calls



    guess you can't read? The unparalleled violation of privacy

    Amendment IV
    (Privacy of the Person and Possessions)
    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    He's violating the 4th ammendment. Government can't search or seize personal effects without a warrant. That include mobile divisors and everything that goes with that

    Obama did something worse than what Nixon did when he was threatened to be impeached. Clearly you don't understand

    Oh hell yes; although just that did happen last year. I can't recall the specifics, but there was this nationally famous leftwing White bleeding-heart liberal among the activist community who always went to the wall defending minority thugs in general and Black thugs in particular by excusing their activities as the cultural fault of the EVIL White community and then he died while being victimized by the same thug types he'd been defending from the get-go.

    All sorts of Karma (or would that be Dharma?) coming home to roost there. The only reason that it didn't become a big time important national news item was because his fellow White loathing White activists ended up defending the cultural thug mentality that . . . murdered their fellow activist and so, as far as the Mainstream Media was concerned, there was no story there since the fellow's fellow activists essentially signed off on his murder; ideologically speaking, that is.

    Actually I think his fellow surviving activists sort of ended up condemning his rotting corpse for having had the lack of victimization foresight to have found some way NOT to bruise the knuckles and feet of the thugs who methodically beat him to death. Or maybe the 'poor misunderstood thugs' knifed him to death or just shot him instead; in which case the sympathetic activists probably condemned the corpse for having gotten his blood all over the human animals.

    Anyway that's the gist of it as I recall. It was an over-the-top real-world example of a bizarre 'What if' scenario actually playing out in an even more bizarre manner than even nominal critics of leftwinger mindsets could have previously imagined. Nice!

    I don't believe that was said. I disagree with a Republican, therefore I must be a socialist. :roll:

    That's all he did his entire Presidency?

    ......


    Wow.

    Do you know about;


    No Child Left Behind....

    Medicare Act of 2003....

    Kyoto Protocol...

    Clear Skies Act of 2003...

    TARP....

    and more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush


    GWB, the "Compassionate Conservative" makes Obama domestic policy look like child's play.

    But his foreign policies were needed and were successful, in the time and until he left office.

    At the beginning of Bush's first term, only about 17 million Americans were on food stamps. The trend started long before Obama took office, and being in the middle of a recession didn't help. But the trend has stopped, and appears to be poised for a reversal.

    Nixon tried to use the IRS against his political enemies, but failed because the IRS at that time refused to be used. Obama succeeded in using the IRS against his political enemies because the IRS cooperated with Obama.

    The middle class is shrinking under Obama. The labor force participation has increased under Obama.

    The middle class has been shrinking since long before Obama took office, and labor force participation is decreasing, not increasing, but this is also a trend that started long before Obama when baby boomers started reaching retirement age.

    I bet groups like Emerge America, Progress Texas, and Clean Elections Texas would be surprised to know they are political enemies of Obama.

    Obama said he was going to help the middle class, but he's failed. The rate of decline of the middle class has increased during the Obama years.

    Note how carefully I phrased my comment concerning the labor force participation rate. As I said, the labor force participation rate has increased under Obama.

    All too often Baby Boomers are working past retirement age because they can't afford to retire.

    If you look a little further down in the NYT article I linked to above, you'll see that the rate of decline of the middle class has dropped significantly since Obama took office, from around -2% to only -04% in 2013. While we can and should do more, Obama has done better than the previous Republican administrations.

    Note how the BLS chart I linked to calls it the labor force participation rate. You're probably thinking of the rate of increase in the labor force participation rate decrease.

    Which was the case from 2005 thru 2009 while we were in the recession. The increase in the rate of decrease would be all of those baby boomers who put off retirement finally retiring.

    the only things I think Obama and Congress have failed to do is address foreign imports and foreign outsourcing, Bush failed at that too, hope the next President will address it if Obama doesn't
