  • People rallied behind Obama for one main reason and that is that he isn't George Bush. Bush was probably the most hated president in the 20th century and maybe ever. People were really begining to fear the government in ways never dreamed of in America. Bush's slimyness dripped over into his pary and there was no way a republican was going to be elected.

    Ron Paul was really the ONLY candidate who was campaigning for meaningful change, but the mainstream media shoved him out.

  • I believe the issue one has to address is the figurative "gap" between civilizations. We have certainly concluded what a moron in the White House can represent. Now comes Obama's time and the House and Senate elections in two year's time will be our mid-term progress indicator.

  • Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

  • A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

  • hhhhhhhhhh

  • The monopoly is over!!!!!!!!!!!!
