Coming Soon: "It's Morning in America Again"

Indeed, America is still that "shining city on a hill", a nation like no other, a nation that people around the world still admire, even though they loathe its leadership.

George Bush, Dick Cheney and the corrupted clowns on Capitol Hill have taken the US down a path that repulses the vast majority of Americans. A nation which launches unprovoked wars, which tortures people, which consumes and pollutes like no other, which favors its rich at the expense of its poor, which ignores its own Constitution, and which lied, cheated and stole during the greatest robbery of all time - the Late Great Housing Bubble.

This election in November will be telling. I believe the American people have had enough. I think the majority no longer believes the lies. I believe America is a nation that sees itself on the wrong path, and seeks dramatic change.

I recommend voting every single incumbent out of office, except Ron Paul. Every single corrupted incumbent. The American people need to send Congress and political parties a message that they indeed are responsible to the voters, and the voters are pissed.

As you know, even though I have serious policy differences with him, I have endorsed the youth, energy and level-headedness of Barack Obama, warts and all. Four more years of Bush via McCain would be simply disastrous. You'll see even on this thread the hate and anger aimed at Obama by people who don't want change and love to hate. But they are a dying breed, and their time is nearly up.

Make no mistake, there are serious issues to confront. The Great Housing Crash will continue on and on, until the fundamentals make sense again. The nation is $53 trillion in debt. Our infrastructure is crumbling. The entitlement bomb has gone off. Our immigration policies are a disaster. Our currency is a joke. We've lost our manufacturing base. And our foreign policy is disgusting.

The president can't change everything, but he can lead, and like Reagan, create a spark. America is an optimistic, hopeful country, that is stuck in a pessimistic, hateful rut. I blame our politicians, I blame our media, I blame our corrupt business leaders. But now it's time for the awakened people to take matters into their own hands, having been failed so miserably by their leaders.

It can be Morning in America again. The world needs it to be Morning in America again. But it's up to the voters. And I think this time they'll choose Morning vs. Night. It's been a long eight years of darkness. Time to come together. Time for some light.

I can't vote for either party. McCain is tired and old. Obama is a communist who will tax and spend. We need someone who will downsize the government machine. Both parties want to suck Americans dry.

It isn't individual congress members but the system itself. You can vote out everybody and the new bunch will just plug into the system and start all over.

What would new members do? They would still go at each other. Dmes would want to bail everybody and Reps want to bail out the rich. Also, the american people are as big a problem. We are entitled whiners who never wish to sacrifice. This fact alone means we will never touch entitlements, people won't simplify and use less unless they are foreclosed or lose a job, we won't end wars since they dont effect "me", we love american /cable, our credit cards, home shows, the list goes on.

Congress and the Pres(awful war at his feet) are a big part of our problems but we are the core of this country. Like other fading empires the "people" get lazy, content, and feel entitled.

The folks on this blog saw all these problems several years ago. We are a progressive bunch. But dont forget, the other 99 plus percent are too lazy to put 2 and 2together. 59 million voted to continue this war. A 100 million saw that fool screw up 'tambourine man".

By endorsing Obama, you are endorsing the destruction of the Constitution and these United States. That is their goal. "They" being: the Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, etc. Those groups are the true policy makers behind the politicians. Obama, Clinton, and McCain are only "front-runners" because they have proven they will play ball with their superiors.

For undeniable proof that Obama is actively working towards stronger, more centralized, global power in direct opposition to the interests of the citizens of the United States, you only need to look at his most recent bill: The Global Poverty Act. That act:
1. cedes US sovereignty to the UN
2. institutes the first global tax

All the above are facts. Check it out for yourselves.

Obama is TERRIBLE for this country. Especially terrible because his voice of optimism feeds false hope. In 4-8 years nothing will "change" and you'll be arguing about which CFR member to vote in next time. Probably a Republican because it will make you feel like you're getting "change". Wake up.

On the ethanol issue;

>Congress is the last to know, but maybe even it is catching on. Credit goes to John McCain, the first presidential candidate in recent memory who has refused to bow before King Ethanol. Onetime ethanol opponent Hillary Clinton announced her support in 2006, as the Iowa caucuses beckoned. In 2006 Barack Obama proposed mandating a staggering 65 billion gallons a year of alternative fuel by 2025, but by this Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" he was suggesting that maybe helping "people get something to eat" was a higher priority than biofuels.

I hope you're right.

But I'm afraid that the Military Industrial Congressional Complex has already sealed our fate.

Phony terror attacks paved the way for the Patriot Act and the complete loss of our liberties.

Martial law may soon follow as Amerika continues its hostile takeover of all countries that have valuable natural resources.

The next president of the United States will continue to be a puppet whose strings are pulled by the ruling crime syndicate.

Amerika is in its 11th hour and the blackness of eternal night will soon be upon us.

Keith, Keith, Keith....

You know as well as I do that Obama isn't the answer. He's merely puppet B of this latest puppet show.

As mentioned earlier, Obama wishes to grant amnesty to about 40,000,000 criminal mexican invaders.

He will allow the jews at the federal reserve to continue stealing from the American people through inflation.

These two issues, along with fighting wars for israel in the middle east, are the biggest and most detrimental to this Nation. It also just so happens that they can't be gotten around with either puppet in this election, or any other of the recent past.

The israeli lobby (which is the biggest and most influential) and others co-trol our elections by deciding which candidates we can vote for. Who else do you think funds the candidates campaigns???? This is why I say that there is now no differance between the demoncrats and republisatans. They truley are puppets A&B. They will serve their masters interests first, while screwing the American people at the same time. Untill we can break free of the lobbys death grip, we will only have more of the same.

You've got to evoke WWJD... What Would Jefferson Do? Anyone who knows even a little about the foundational beliefs of Jefferson knows there's no new morning coming on election day, though certainly there shall be a little fresh air with the regime change to finally come this November. But McCain (CFR member)member, or Obama would quickly stink up the White House once one of them gets in. Both are products of the establishment and live off the establishment like dope users tethered to an IV, so both are no good in my book and would fail us again.

What did Jefferson believe about government's that failed the people? What did Jefferson say about government systems that benefit only the privileged few?
The Jeffersonian approach would entail massive change beyond just "voting the bums out". What do we do with the "shadow government"? What do we do about the military industrial complex? Voting the bums out will hardly scratch the surface. We're hurtling toward massive amnesty for the illegals and entitlement spending is out of control as well. Our system is corrupted to core and can't be fixed at the voting booth.

But Alas our fat, atheistic/relativistic and lazy, prozac and porn addicted society isn't capable of understanding Jefferson's idols like Locke, or Rousseau - let alone acting and doing what was required to start and now needed to fix our once great Republic.

Keep the supermarkets full, keep plenty of porn on cable and the internet and plenty of Chinese junk in Wal Mart and Target and I think that leads to a majority who could care less -- a la the Bread and Circuses syndrome.

Where's the outrage now over a whole host of major things that are wrong about "the system"? Most cast a blind to the problems as long as they can maintain a certain comfort zone existence about equal to a well fed kitty-cat. Watch 'man on the street interviews' -- many don't know who the VP is, or even where Mississippi is on a map. Do you think they give a hoot about CDOs or the dollar index? LOL.

And Keith consider this: The PTB are NOT acting in the best interests of the rich over the poor; its a given that the poor always get shafted. Heck, even the New Testament said the "poor will always be" with us. The real horror of what's going on is that the Powers That Be are acting for the best interests of the rich over the slow but sure destruction of the MIDDLE CLASS.

I love the idea of a Morning in America, but I just don't see it happening. We're really entering a period where it "darkest before dawn". Morning is far off. You're smart to live in Eastern Europe.

You are correct when you say people don't want change. Everyone can't remember the Clinton's and their warts but will go crazy when they hear something negative about Obama. Can't find anything as negative as the Clinton's so they go nuts over his pastor, come on. Obama didn't say it the pastor did. I have bailed out of the election long ago when the rabid racist started coming out of the closet and really bailed out when a coworker told me a black person that Obama will never do anything for a filipino, and I will see. Well I have never had a filipino do anything for me except say black people stink, they are all thieves and should go back to Africa. So not just white people are absolute racist so is everyone else. If I didn't remember all the stuff Clinton did do I would probably had been for Hillary but that NAFTA sealed her fate with me and Bill Clinton using that young stupid girl for this own sexual gratitfication he would have never gotten my vote period. Plus Mexicans have been coming over here for a long time and no one did anything and now since no one said anything they informed each other just go to the United States and get a job, no one will say anything, but they just got carried away and thought that no one would care about them coming here and it became an explosion. As I tell my son it appears you are abusing a priviledge.
Forecasters, pundits, and economist are saying they can't believe how fast this ball is unwinding. Each day new records being set. Did they not believe Chavez and the guy from Iran (can't remember his name)when they said they said want oil at 200 dollars a barrel to pay BUSH back. Did they not think others felt the same way but kept it to themselves. Do people not remember Bush telling the people in the Middle East that gas prices are killing the American economy and then the price went over 100 bucks a barrel. The world hates America and all it represents and Bush made people of the world realize how much they hate us. The nasty people who come on web sites like this let the world know how terrible the people in this country are and why would they like them any better. A disruption in Nigeria (full of black people I may add)and to hell with American's and their cars. The only sad thing that is going to come out of this is what my mother always told us as children "don't bite off your nose to spite your face" which I assume means don't mess up one thing to appease another. Without American money there is going to be a lot of failed business' all over the world. People have been told there isn't alot the president can do to fix the economy (hence: McCain)but he can restore world wide respect (as Mr Obama suggested and was made fun of)even Cuba knew Mr. Obama was someone they could work with didn't they finally allow the people to own VCR'S if that isn't a door opening up I don't know what is.
Good luck people because we are going to pay a dear price for Bush's policies for a long time to come. DONATE TO FOOD BANKS AND THE AMERICAN POSTAL WORKERS UNION because there are alot of people way less fortunate than you who really can't afford gas, food, and home utilities and charity begins at home not over seas for people who don't care about America (they don't have a problem with it why should you), well pull back on a few of those dollars and let them understand about biting the hand that feeds them. God help us all. This is a real SOS.

What a totally blatant example of hypocrisy. Not that we should be surprised. The media is completely compromised today. It's a f*cking joke.

And I'm not even a fan of Obama but I can at least understand what his pastor was saying - US imperialism generates blowback - check - the US government has been involved in developing race specific bioweapons - check - this is well documented.

But this Parsley guy is completely off the hook. Freakin religious, hate-filled nutjob that does not represent the prince of peace Jesus in any way.

Wasn't it true that barack obama did not want to wear a pin of the U.S. flag on his lapel? Isn't it also true he won't pledge allegiance to the flag? And what about his wife's comments saying something to the effect of FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I LOVE AMERICA. So how did she feel about America before? Did she not like America? And what about the church he went to, where they spewed hate for 20 years and he kept coming back. This same church preached that the US government created AIDS to kill black people. He claims he never heard any hate messages in 20 years that he was there. Somehow I find that very hard to believe. I have serious doubts about this man. He's a wolf in sheeps clothing.

I hope that I am wrong, but I think that you highly over-estimate the American people. You're asking the same people who put Bush in Office for a second term to make proper choices.

The people with short-term memories who began buying SUVs again after oil prices dropped a bit a few years back.

The same people who pay 15% interest for year for a dinner at Red Lobster.

Stop and ask the average person if they are ready to sacrifice for change. Pay more taxes to bring down the debt. Consume less junk to improve the schools.

Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing with the secret motivation of Black Power. His church of 20 years, where he gave tens of thousands of dollars, is a Black Power church. His wife's thesis at Princeton was how hard it was to be Black at Princeton, even though her grades were not good enough to get in if white. The USA has real economic problems and has no time for this sick social experiment of Obama. Obama says everything the crowd wants to hear, prosperity preaching, but his real agenda would shock white America.

Ronald Reagan was a horrible, horrible president. All the nonsense you hear about him is propaganda. He prolonged the cold war, communism was collapsing already. Reagan's rhetoric allowed the leaders to tell their people that America was going to take over. This allowed the Communist leaders to stay in power another 5 years. Reagan made things way worse, not better.

Reagan also started America down the road to debt. You posters longing for Reagan are brainwashed idiots.

Give me a break! Please, You cannot possibly be a Barak Obama supporter and ever had one ounce of respect for Ronald Reagan's Fiscal policies, or other policies for that matter. When Reagan was president it was very much like right now. Inflation through the roof, interest rates got up to 11% (maybe even 12%), I know because I was going to college and buying my first house during those terrible years. Also watched alot of small businesses and unions go under, and his trickle down economics worked as well George Bush's. The rich got richer and the poor and middle-class got poorer. It was a nightmare for the environment and Reagan was much a puppet the same way George Bush is today. The people in his administration (who were smarter than the president) are and were the ones really running things. Please, there is nothing that Reagan and Obama would share in common. You can't be for ones principles and vote for the other one. They are apples and oranges. If you think so then you aren't firing on all your pistons.

There is nothing wrong with America as a country, its just Americans who are garbage : P

This used to be a country of hard working people who were actually productive and earned an honest keep.

Now this is a country of greedy dishonest people who produce nothing and do anything including lying, cheating and stealing just to earn a buck. I might even be kind enough to include arbitrage on that list, as if that is anything to brag about.

Is there hope for Americans? Somehow I doubt it, unless we tear it all down and start over. My generation (X)disgusts me and if TV and pop culture are any indication it looks like the upcoming generations are only going to get worse and worse.

The way I remember it Reagan was fundamentally similar to Bush.

He got interest rates down and pumped money into the economy through government spending.

When he left office the next administration got the bill for the good times and failed miserably on the economic front.

The budget didn’t even get close to being balanced until the Clinton administration.

THE POINT IS… that no matter who gets into office, we have HOUSING PANIC, ReCeSsIoN, High UNEMPLOYMENT, High TAXES, and Damaged Constitution!

blogger said...

I was against A LOT of Reagan's policies. But where I have to give him kudos is changing the collective consciousness of America from the Nixon/Ford/Carter malaise. We became a country of optimists again, hopeful of building a better country and a better future.

Bush has turned America into a country of negative, hateful pessimists - for good reason as his economic and foreign policy moves have been disasterous for America

Anyway, no matter what you thought of Reagan's policies, it's the president's responsibility to set the mood in the country. McCain - the angry old man - will take us down an uninspiring, negative, mean-spirited road, the one we've been on for seven years. Obama obviously is selling change and hope and it's a winning formula.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna fight him on a lot of his plans. Given only two candidates, you can't agree with someone on everything, not even close. But I'd fight McCain more.
