Where were you when books promoting the assassination of George Bush were release? When people were holding marches burning paper meche figures of him? Hanging a mannequin with Bush masks on?
When Republicans bitch about Obama, since he's black, we're all labeled racists.
When Democrats bitch about Bush, since he's republican, they're American hero's.
**** you, racism has nothing to do with this and I'm sick that democrats keep playing that card. I'm tired of hearing b/c I don't want opened borders and ILLEGAL aliens given the same rights as me I'm racist.
This **** has got to stop. Wake up people. This country has never been more divided, even after 'we' elected a president who promised he was going to bring this country together. Individuals are more divided. Laws being passed without even a hint of partisan cooperation. Rights being taken. This isn't about Republicans vs. Democrats anymore. This is about government overstepping their bounds and taking our rights as individuals away. This is about our nation going bankrupt. When does it end? Where does the spending stop? Government has complete control or at least a hand in banks, car industry, health insurance and health care, student loans.
Democrats compared Bush to Hitler, leading us to a path of communism, taking our rights away and starting unjustified wars to gain power. Over a year into this administration, we're still fighting a war with really no plans on getting out. We were supposed to be out now, but they keep pushing those plans back. Will we really be out by next years goal? I doubt it.
My rights as an individual are still being taken. The transparency promised isn't around at all. Backdoor promises and hand shake deals are still being made. Spending has SKYROCKETED with no end in sight. Doesn't sound very fiscally responsible from where I'm sitting.
People, look at what's happening. Nothing has changed except for the worse. The American people were promised change, and the only change has been an increase in everything we hated in the last administration. Yet we still are trying to defend this. Why? What makes this and different? Because it's a Democrat doing those things? What have we REALLY fixed over the last administration?
I'll be the first to admit, Bush was not the best president. Can't even say he was good.
This new 'movement', the Tea Party movement, isn't the Republican Party in disguise. It isn't some propaganda machine created by Fox News. It is American people standing up for what they believe in. Against the taxation and for their Constitutional Rights. Hate to point this out, but if you look inside it, there are Democrats jumping ship and joining this movement, just like republicans are abandoning their party and joining. Because they see what's going on and want it to stop. Our nation cannot sustain itself on this current path. The deficit has reached a point that we can not pay off. Where does a country go when its bankrupt? What do we do at that point?
Unfortunately, I think we'll be finding out very soon.....
