The T
George S. Patton Party
Weimar Republic comes to mind as left from the LOSS of WWI by Germany...was imposed ON germany...and with WEAK leardership was left inept...and gave rise to asswipes like HITLER...
It is always wise to always be on our guard not to replace the devil we know with a worse devil. The ONLY thing that would give rise to a Barack Obama in the United States of America in 2008 would be a much weakened Presidency coupled with a high misery index. Even though he himself was a good man with all the right motives, it was George W. Bush's own progressive leanings that did him in coupled with an incompetency in some areas that provided lots of ammunition for the opposition to demonize him to leftists completely willing to accept whatever they were told. Add something like the housing bubble collapse to that soup, and voila, there is a void allowing a Barack Obama to be raised up as the messiah, the savior, the agent of hope and change.
A scenario we have seen multiple times throughout the centuries when the people did not resist a bad government being overthrown by a socialist or totalitarian dictatorship that was far worse.
All that has saved America from a similar fate is the ingrained love of liberty and self governance ingrained into our culture. But I think this is the last generation to have that unless the conservatives such as the Tea Party minded regain control and begin to reteach the principles that made this nation great.
Not his "progressive" leanings, though I did not like much of his NCLB or the supplemental seniors drug program. It was his stupid ass invasion of Iraq and failure to provide a competent followup that broke our NG and AR, weakened our military, led to a more vicious Patriot Act in Obama's admin, and so forth.
Bush's war mongering is what weakened this country.
BUSH went after the PERPS. Like it or not.
YOU are out of your league, and an Obama apologist.
