Wouldn't have worked with me, I happened to have liked Bush personally. I didn't vote for him, but when he was elected he became "my president"... that's the way a democracy is supposed to work. It's OK to criticize the man in office but not to constantly denigrate them. I use my vote to express my opinion.

I may be getting unreliable information (mostly CBS News, CNN, NBC News, etc.) but it looks like most of the cuts are being mandated by government agencies, like HSA, FAA, and FDA.
Our collective legislators, Republican AND Democrat, are behaving like a a gaggle of spoiled, spiteful, vindictive children when someone has put the lid on the candy jar.
Did we REALLY drive down to the polls and VOTE for these buffoons? We need to reunite ourselves as American Citizens, rather than dividing ourselves as Republicans, Democrats, Tea Part, or Progressives. Are we NOT Americans BEFORE we are party members? The damn politicians are making us all like them! Boooo... :evil: :thumbdown: :evil:

No thanks, your post is a waste of your time. This after seeing the fox-radio by line above. Think we all are mature enough to realize there are pros and cons to spending.

Read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". You will see that the conditions in Germany at that time bear no resemblance to today's America. Germany had been humiliated by their terms of surrender in WWI and was looking for a saviour to restore their glory.
I didn't respond to the rest of your rant because it was nonsense.

Except for Diane Feinstein, Ron Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo and host of their fellow libs.

I have several questions for you since that is what you believe. Have asked before and never gotten a straight answer. The only answers I've gotten they start to point fingers without really answering them.

1. I assume by your statement you don't keep a weapon (gun) in your home for protection. Knowing it would probably take several minutes for help to arrive, there again assuming your able to make a 911 call. How do you intend to protect your family?

2. Your saying by your statement don't you think that it should be a personnel choice as to how your fellow Americans choose to protect their family as well as their property?

3. Taking guns away from law abiding citizen; how do you propose to have the criminals, thugs, ect turn their weapons in or have them taken away?
Pretty sure their not going to turn them in because I'm sure the majority are not registered, so no one knows they have them.

Death penalty: the only thing I have to say about that is "it's too bad the ones they murdered couldn't have had their "death penalty" commuted to life".

They did ???? My recollection of history is that our forefathers were part of a well armed militia that supported the government in their fight for independence from the British. You must be reading a history book printed in Texas.

My post was clearly stated and accurate. Your response is inane as it does not address the issue of the topic Republican Rebranding. Your biggest error is that you think the current Democratic Party is liberal. It is very far from being a truly liberal agenda. In fact, it is more like the Republican Party of the 1970s. You state that Conservatives need not discard their values. I agree. In fact, that's what I am hoping they do. I hope they double-down on the antiquated ideology for at least the next six years. That will ensure a brighter future for the country as not one of them will be elected to national office and the old codgers behind their Party will be dead...as dead as their policies.

LOL - well said! But still only in the old testament, right? God seems somewhat reformed in his latter days, maybe getting old and mellow or maybe it is actually not the same guy at all...

Actually it's "More people are murdered with hammers than rifles in the US"

...your "fact" conveniently leaves out murders by handguns

A quick fact-check reveals on average for the last few years: 600 deaths by blunt instrument(usually a hammer) 400 something by rifles... and 6000 by handguns as well as 2000 by guns of unknown type.

The Army, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, Coast Guard, US Marines and Seal Teams 1 through 11 are sworn to uphold the Constitution not the government. There should never be a situation where a US Citizen is in fear of our own mitlitary.
