Your friend is a racist Republican. That's wrong. I am a Republican, and I'm not racist. If you go back many years, it was the Republican party who worked to free the slaves. The Democrats opposed slavery for the most part. Bet ya didn't know that eh?
As far as the economy, the reason the country has now ousted many Dems from office is that Obama has done too much! He hasn't had too little time. He's done things the country does not want, like socialized medicine, "stimulus" policies that don't work (they were wrong under Bush too). He is the most left-winged president ever, and our future generations will pay for his reckless spending.
Will you stop blaming Bush when Obama is in for 4 years? Probably not. He's a one-time president thank God.

"I have a very religous friend that i deeply respect. he is a republican and when he makes racist remarks about Obama..."
"Stop blaming Obama for the economic downfall. The Bush Administration caused the crisis and they are responsible for all of the jobless Americans that exist today."
So what you're saying is blaming it on Obama is racist and blaming it on Bush isn't? Check the numbers bud, I suppose if Obama somehow gets reelected you'll continue to blame Bush for everything. .. btw, since the economic crisis is global I suppose that is Bush's fault too? You libs are propaganda machines. I only responded because you are one of the first to at least spell check your post. Well, mostly, religous is not a word that I'm aware of.
I remember Clinton taking credit for a booming market just months into his presidency. You people want it both ways don't ya. Dumb... just plain dumb.

Republicans are racist jerks and every single liberal in America knows it. Barack Obama is the future of the United States. After moving from the 16th most democratic city in the U.S. (Seattle, Washington), to the most racist town i've ever lived in, i've heard the racist remarks of the republicans and i am very offended.
I have a very religous friend that i deeply respect. he is a republican and when he makes racist remarks about Obama, he makes me feel i should not belong in the country. Is this where America should be in a time of crisis? Stop blaming Obama for the economic downfall. The Bush Administration caused the crisis and they are responsible for all of the jobless Americans that exist today.

It never ceases to amaze me that the liberal progressive left keeps forgetting the Socialist, Communist and any other big governments have all failed. The ONLY reason China and a few other Communist countries are surviving is because the US has shared technology and innovation with them. If US businesses completely pulled out of China, the country would fall flat on it's face. There would be no China. And that goes for all countries which manufacture for American companies.
Let's not forget the wildly successful Communist/Capitalist experiment of East and West Germany. People would risk jail or losing their life to defect the Communist Regime.
I, personally, am so tired of the whiney left saying how much life would be better if socialism was in place here in America. Why don't you go live in a country like Cuba, China or any other Socialist or Communist government. Make sure you fully assimilate. You've got to live as if a citizen. Good Luck!!
May be you should do some research into Eldridge Cleaver. May be that would help some of you realize what a great country America really is.
As far as separating the states, I know I would definitely be on the Right. Lower taxes, more businesses, lower regulations, sounds like the country the Founding Fathers meant this country to be.

what ever happened to trial and excecution for nazi's? their evident socialist communist works are seen and suffered for quite a few years. when do we catch up with law against lawless seats that seem to have no fear in their move to destroy this nations liberties and democracy.

lets form states that are capitalistic, no socialism, etc. all capitalist, move to these states and only do business in these states.
Watch how fast the rest of the states fail without entrepreneur's and capitalist. no penalties or extra taxes for working harder and becoming successful or rich. all business would move to these states so the socialist wouldn't even have food unless they grew it themselves.
because there would not be stores etc. Back to the Dark Ages. kind of like after the Roman Empire Fell, no more running water. etc.
( took thousand years, only 250 for the United States ) to fall.
who will give socialist a job, they would all have to work for the government, ( dig a whole, now fill it in ).

It is interesting how "A. Person" thinks the republican party or the "right" is the only close minded and power hungry group in the US. Apparently Red White and Right hasnt been paying attention for the last five months as the current liberal leadership attempts to take control of banks, autos, and heatlthcare in its radical quest for "POWER" and socialistic "change".
It is also intersting how someone can suggested that the former leadership in United States resulted in the "death of a country". The historical record clearly shows that the previous administration's domestic policies (or lack there of) had little affect on life in America and it certainly didn't deteriorate the greatness of our nation nor was it the cause of its "death".
On the other hand Mr. Obama's radical agenda will drastically change everyday life in America. Not only will his proposed healthcare plan intrude in our freedom of choice but expanding federal deficits are a real threat to national security and our economy. Mr. Obama is certainly offering "change" but the change he is providing is not what America expected.
Americans are already beginning to realize that Mr. Obama is changing things for the worse. Polls show that most Americans are against the suggested healthcare plan, against Cap and Trade, are unsure about Sotomayor, and think TARP was a mistake.
While the Bush administration had little impact domestically the liberal agenda will most certainly cause major damage here at home as well as show us as weak abroad.

How we have seen republicans over the years bleed and divide U.S.,
The single mindedness of Power and control, a look at the life of a party and the death of a nation
Haven't we all heard the Red Republican Party state that they have learned their lessons from their losses during last election? Haven't we heard them say that they see themselves winning the public's support once again? It's interesting to note how they're going about it.
Should you really pay attention and completely focus in you will find that all they seem to show is their stern determination towards being DIVISIVE on issues, and even more so as we witness through the media how their role is really not that of sharing in as becoming Agents of change; but rather stepping up to become agents of MISTRUST and ongoing and constant CRITICISM towards the new president new Policy and ANYTHING new.
As you see yourself thinking about their claim to have learned from their mistakes, surely it can become clear that this only goes as far to speak towards their ambition to retake “power” and “control” when we open our eyes and really think about it. And the more we do so, notice how their tactic is FAILING and dropping straight to the ground as it fails to address the important issues and the TROUBLES facing this sacred country and instead the RED PARTY using all their means and influence focus on ATTACKING the commander and chief and opposing him vehemently at every step of the way. How can anyone lead effectively under such conditions?
Such an attitude, so UNPATRIOTIC, and unbecoming of these public GOP-SERVANTS to better a country DIVIDED. When we witness truth in it's absolute and then truly focus in on what matters to U.S. we can begin to wonder why, Instead of learning from their mistakes, as they claim, they have been very busy bees in their little lair of "spin", downplaying the new president.
It is a dark day to have the media plastering propaganda and see the GOP-POWER HUNGER MACHINE attempt everything from criticizing to blocking a leader of this Nation in his efforts to do what he has been hired to do, to Govern and lead our nation through a tough situation the best way he , as president, can.
This is just like when we think back to kindergarten and picture those sore losing kids in a playground acting snotty, the current republican party has not learned their lesson, when they can’t admit to themselves that the way they do business has not served the country to make it better, but over the course of two elections we've all witnessed, they only served to fracture and wound our United People, who can feel this being so very true as we see our jobs and economic security DE-STABILIZE and it's not necessary to think about all of this over and over, it is not really something you should get riled up about or to go ahead and spread this message to as many people as you feel need t

The thing is that Liberals (or Grits, as they are called in Canada, good name for them really)are ignorant. They just like to sit around and wait for "world peace". It sickens me. Hello morons, world peace does not, can not, and never will exist. It's impossible. All these Liberals are just sitting down and crying about their own selfish needs and saying "can't we all just get along? And we can use our words and then all the rest of the world will just play nice with us!" It really sickens me that this extreme level of ignorance is actually possible, and that this is extreme level of ignorance actually dominates America, this once great counry! Don't they understand that when a country is no longer willing to fight, that is when it's downfall is sure to come? What they don't understand is that even if their not willing to fight, our enemies certainly are! And, oh yeah, they will kill us and whipe us right off the face of the earth!
All I say is this "world peace" obsession of theirs is the most rediculous thing in the world. What didn't work for Camelot certainly ain't gonna work here.
Thanks to the few remaining Conservatives, and the few people who haven't gone Liberal Idiot I-Don't-Wanna-Fight on us.
