Rise and fall of American Empire

Yes the summer of recovery 2010 just hasn't made it here yet.

 

In all fairness, anyone who expected the economy to recover in four years is a moron. And I would say this no matter who was in the Oval Office, because I'm not an Obama loyalist or even a party loyalist. It's just a fact.

Mitt Romney won't be turning the economy around in four years either. Nobody can, especially not with entirely different policies than their predecessor.

 

It's not the defense stuff. It is the internal redistribution that is the problem.

......where is Democracy mentioned?
.

Which would make Obama one of the bigger morons....right behind the 50 million (D)upes that voted for him.

Sure they can.......and when President Romney, a Republican House, and Republican Senate comes to fruition this November.......your going to see the recovery you have been missing the last 4 years.

Well, if you scroll down to "synonyms" you'll see "democracy" listed. If you click "democracy" you'll note that "republic" is in its synonyms too, and they have very similar definitions.

Then you can go look at the main definition and most commonly accepted definition of "republic," which is "a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch," and you have democracy.

 

No, I'm pretty sure they all understand that it wouldn't be fully recovered in four years.

lol. Your economic naivety is so cute!

So, assuming this Republican-dominated fantasy of yours comes to fruition...let's just posit for a moment that they DON'T recover the economy in four years like you claim they will.

Then what?

 

We aleady have de facto if not de jure Socialism. That's the result of the ever increasing regulatory burden that government at all levels seem bound and determined to inflict upon all of us. We have a system operating in America today very much like what Italy had under Mussolini. Only the system here isn't backed so much by threat of violence as it is by threat of lawyers.

 

So Democracy wasnt anywhere in the definition.....how about that.....

...perhaps because a Democracy and a Republic are two entirely different things......

Scandinavian socialism does have one strange drawback. It creates a nation full of cookie-cutter "everything is lovely" faces but there's a striking lack of individualism and uninhibited expression. It reminds me of an ant colony with lots of bland worker ants running around doing what they've been well programmed from an early age to do. Sweden takes the programming of its children very seriously and starts VERY early.

Here - listen to this interview from Sweden and you tell me whether there isn't a rather serious price to be paid for maintaining a workable socialist central control over human beings - "Sweden's Big Government 'Utopia' Unmasked"

 

According to Obama and Democrats.....Unemployment should be around 5% right now.....

Everything the Democrat party supports is detrimental to economic growth......it would be impossible for Republicans not to improve on the subprime Obama economy to nowhere.
.

No, we don't. Not even close.

First it's socialist, then it's Mussolini's fascist Italy. Which is it? Because it can't be both.

 

Okay. I see I would have a better chance reasoning with my ten year old sister than I would with you.

Just don't be surprised when you're laughed out of any serious discussion.

 

It's called "campaign speech." They have to hype it up to get people to vote for them again.

Actually, it would be VERY possible. Republicans want to do to America what the European Union has been doing - strict austerity, not growth, and guess what?

Austerity pushed Europe even farther into economic trouble.

Jon Huntsman was the only pro-growth Republican running. But you picked failed austerity instead.

 

Sure it can.....all that is required is the all powerfull all controlling centralized Nanny Statist government and the accompanying monopoly on brute force.

Its what you want isnt it?
.
.

 

Prove the Republi-cons are going to do any better?

 

No, it's not.

 

Well lets try another dictionary.....

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/republic

....still no mention of Democracy. Your contentions certainly are laughable.....
.
.

 

Its called a 143 day Senator/Community Organizer who never ran so much as a lemonade stand.......not having a frickin economic clue.

....that austerity is a method to curb runaway Liberal (D)ebt?

Europe was destined for the sewer.....thanks to decades of Liberal control. The Financial collapse didnt change destinations....just shortened the trip.
.

If everything the Democrat Party supports is detrimental to economic growth, which it is........then our economic solutions reside in the complete opposite direction.

California and Illinois versus Texas and Wisconsin. Two are run by liberals and two are run by conservatives. Guess which two states are succeeding and which two states are failing.

 

I've seen HOW this happens... Those Dammed Koreans...

Who was your candidate?

No, that austerity dooms economies.

Europe's liberals, in certain countries, are America's conservatives.

 

Which you and no one else has proven.

Even so, the Republi-cons or going to have to 'eventually' prove themselves to be as 'good' for America as they claim. The American people are catching on to the BS as we speak.

Obama and other Democrats may not be re-elected... whatever. But at the proper/due time, the American people WILL wake up and 'revolt' (hopefully at the polls, during future elections).

It is all just a matter of time, before the 'sinister' individuals pulling strings, are removed from power (one way or the other).

Yes, people are waking up.

 

Indeed they are waking up. Why do you think they're flying drones over citizens? It isn't to "keep them safe"...I assure you.
