Slowly but surely we have signed away all of those things. When you are doing all those things it means that the country is working, and everyone is making money. Now we are a country of middle men, pushing papers around on a desk for products we don't make here.
As for Kramer, turn on your brain and leave it there.
If Obama was a communist( the biggest joke about BHO's presidency there is), he wouldn't have all these corporate giveaways to the healthcare industry and Wall Street investment banks.
And trust me, knowing someone as a youth does not make you...THEM.
I've had plenty of life 'mentors' as a teen who've lived totally different life experiences than me, but their lives weren't ever mine
Hey giovanni hotel..............so you say his mentor when he was young and the fact that he was a commie means nothing? Then how about Rev Wright and the racist phony religion called "black liberation theology" that the lying bastard claims he knows nothing about because he was deaf for 20 years?! Does he get a pass in your biased eyas there too!!! Wake up and see the truth!
Please go educate yourself...please.Quote:

Reverend Wright has hours upon hours of sermons on DVD, yet don't you think if he was preaching some insanity from the pulpit for decades, BHO's opponents would have been able to pull more than a snippet where he says, 'God damn America!!'??
20 such clips would have doomed Obama's presidential aspirations.
Like most fire and brimstone preachers, Rev. Wright went off the reservation sometimes, but for the most part he was a mainstream Baptist style preacher.
Oprah Winfrey for years was a member of his church, for chrissakes, and you know how she LOVES white folks to death!!lol

And I know Oprah is a phony that hates whites as much as any black person does. She is a phony too, but the media loves her act!

I gave you the raw reasons as to why our society continues on a decline, and you say go educate yourself. Thanks for clearing that up. Notice you are the only one arguing this. I am a college graduate, and I have traveled abroad. I see what other countries are doing, what works, and what doesn't.
As old fashioned as it sounds, America needs to go back to building American and buying American. It's the reason wars always made us a richer country. Now that we are even getting our defense products/weapons from overseas, not even starting a war will pull us out of a recession. I think YOU need to do your homework SB, real talk.
It was the liberal media that kept replaying those clips of Rev. Wright. You think Faux would have sat on more damning video of Rev. Wright just to benefit BHO's campaign??Quote:

You have every right to call him whatever you want, but if we're going to debate his record we need to get the right sequence of events

Except most people think it was Bush's or Obama's doing or ineptitude. Trouble is, most people can not see more than 5 feet in front of them or more than 5 minutes ahead, Everything is about NOW NOW NOW or fairly recent.
America's adherence to an outdated capitalistic system is actually what has been causing the gradual decline since the seventies, Factories have been going overseas since that time.
The American Way has actually become very Un-American for the current/future generations of America. A company surviving has actually become more important than keeping the jobs in the states. Exactly how American capitalism states it should be. Make your competition fail, and you do whatever you have to for survival.
That stuff was good when the USA was riding the high wave of a ruined economic japan, germany, europe, and china after ww2, but now it's redundant and came back to bite us in the ass. The glory days are over.
America is going to fall harder, before Obama or any president within a 10 year period (just guessing) really fixes anything. Right now everything is just patch ups.
Obama is not better or worse than anyone recently. McCain would've looked the same, If clinton had run again, it would've been the same.
The root of it goes back to the 70's , like hippifried said. Good call man.
