No More Hope

[zeke]

Naw, i'm also in the process of writing an resume for a client, checking my e-mails related to my second job and generally surfing a few internet sites I like. Oh, and cooking dinner. I can multi-Task.

But don't worry, sweetie, you're on my list.

And people call me arrogant. You're deluded.

What do you have to be arrogant about?

Good question. Temple, what do you have to be arrogant about? Is it because you are a legend in your own mind? LMAO.

Arrogance is Temple of Shit thinking that negging someone is a painful experience.

One other thing. There is a disaster happening on our border right now that you just readily blew off there. Our ally Israel is (or was) steeped in the fog of war. Our foreign policy is a disaster, given the hundreds of thousands of innocent people being slaughtered in Syria.

Your solution to the border crisis, please?

Your solution to assisting Israel, please?

Your solution to righting the wrongs in Syria, please?

Impeach Obama.

“Conservatives have no solutions to offer, they're only tedious partisan hacks.”

You see here's the thing. Chief Runs-With-Scissors sets up this false premise that young people supported Obama based on hope and wishful thinking.

Which is horsecrap.

People who voted for Obama (and I wasn't one of them), were voting for specific agenda items.

End the Iraq War was on the top of the list. He did that.

Reform Health Care - He did that.

Pass immigration reform- Didn't get that one done. Yet.

Work for equality for gays- He repealed DADT, abandoned the stupidity that was DOMA and gay marriage is becoming the norm in this country. Check.

Pull the economy out of the gutter- Check.

Kill Bin Laden- Probably not a priority for most of the folks who voted for him, but BONUS!!!!

Frankly, I voted for Bush twice, and what I got was a busted 401K, two recessions. Had to change jobs- twice. Watched him fuck up a war and a response to a natural disaster.

Seems to me that the folks who voted for Obama got most of what they wanted.

Nothing but net!

Yeah, there was a lot of that in 2008. The air was filled with it. I was 20 years old that year and I can remember riding around in the car with my grandmother through this booming college town of Athens Georgia and seeing so many dorms and houses adorned with the Obama campaign slogan and logo. You see, Athens is a mainly liberal city, the paper leans left, lots of the professors at UGA are Democrats. But anyways, so many people had hope then. As hard right as I was then, even I couldn't help but think "maybe this Obama guy won't be so bad. He's given this country hope again." I voted for John McCain in my very first presidential election, however.

I stayed up all night the day before the inauguration, so I could see Bush ride off into the sunset and see Obama, the man who brought so much hope to this country arrive to lead the nation. A little voice, though, kept saying, "looks can be deceiving, this hope has been offered by many a president before. " Little was I aware that in the coming 6 years, the little voice was right. Hope is a fleeting thing, but it draws the soul like a super magnet. Emotions and rational thought can sometimes be buried in hope. Hope, it seems, is also easily exploitable by men and women who would seek to run for president.

When 2010 came along, I could sense a change in the country's mood. Perhaps they felt as if they made a mistake in giving the Democrats so much power two years prior, that November, the Democrats were crushed in the mid-terms, barely holding on to the Senate. However, that mood dissipated, because just two years later, Obama was re-elected again. He didn't campaign on hope this time, but a newfangled health care law he signed into law. At that moment, I felt as if the man was invincible, much to my dismay. At that moment, I felt in my heart that there was no more hope for this great country of ours.

True.

And they're getting the appointments to Federal benches that they want, including appointments to the Supreme Court.

Just like Democrats did the best they could to clean up the mess Republican presidents left us in in the 80's.

Like what carter left Reagan? Clinton's success was on the back of the dot com era and a republican controlled house. Democrats were in control at the end of Bush's term. Also it was liberal policies that brought down the housing industry. You know the thinking it's not fair that someone doesn't own a home, even though they cannot afford it.

The GOP has no new ideas...you make a good little minion.

You want to know my idea?
1. Get rid of Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid. Obama and Biden are dumb asses that don't know what they are doing. Pelosi is bat shit crazy. Reid is also bat shit crazy, that stops most things at his desk. The main reason nothing has been done.
2. Do away with every regulation obama has put in effect. All of them. Then look at other regulations that hurts business.
3. Eliminate Obamacare. Bring back more full-time jobs.
4. Cut funding to welfare in half. I know at least half on welfare can work.
5. Anyone renting or leasing to an illegal, automatically loses the apartment or house. Get illegals back home so americans have more jobs.
6. Put a strong tariff on imported goods. Bring back more American manufacturing.
7. Cut the amount of administrator's in public school in half. Give that money to the teachers. Our kids deserve a better education.
8. No government employee should make more than $80,000 a year. Quit paying congress for life. Remember it is us taxpayers that pay their salary.
That's just a couple ideas that would work.

Retarded list. Where'd you find number 6? That isn't a nutter talking point. That is a very progressive policy suggestion.

Abandon hope, all ye that enter here. Obama's campaign motto was as empty as the ideals he represents. All sound and fluff, signifying nothing. For all of you geniuses that voted for the big Obamamiester, good job! You put a lot of thought into THAT. At least we got a 1/2 black man in office, a real blow against racism. And all we got is a out of touch, indecisive, mealy mouthed flip flopping panderer to extremist liberal agenda.

So you are OK with comparing the US with Germany when it comes to mandatory health care because you say it works in Germany so why not the US? However, we should never compare the US with Nazi Germany because Godwin says we should never do such a thing? To me the comparison of the German government compared to the US government is apples and oranges when it comes to making health care work. For starters, Texas is larger than the entire country of Germany. Also, the US government is $17 trillion in debt and is so dysfunctional it makes the Osborn family seem normal. I have always advocated states that are the size of Germany to figure out their own health care. In comparison, the EU is closer to the size of the US federal government, with about as much representation, which is next to none. However, the EU has not taken upon itself to manage the health care in Germany, which is probably why it is much more successful than what it is in the US.

That's not true. Germany has 80 million people. Texas has 26 million. So if you are going to start a conversation with that level of ignorance, I'm just not sure where to go with it.

Second Point- EVERY other Industrialized Democracy has universal health care where the majority is paid for by the government. They all spend less as a percentage of GDP and get far better results.

[
As far as mandatory health care in Germany coming along before Nazi Germany, you are correct. However, what you seem to be willing to overlook is the evolution of the Nazi regime. You seem to think that the socialist tendencies has nothing to do with it.

My family came from Germany originally. I still have relatives there. The Nazi Regime evolved because the allies inflicted punative measures against Germany after WWI.

So I'm going to ignore your batshit crazy shit where you see socialists hiding under your bed.

When I said that Texas was bigger, I was referring to land, not people. As far as that goes, the entire US has over 300 million people, so Texas is still a much closer comparison in terms of numbers of people.

As far as you coming from Germany, it's not all that surprising really.

And yes, collectivism is a disease of mankind. As a result, all nations eventually embrace it or wind up like the Ukraine who did not join NATO nor did they want to be part of Russia. The US was turned into a collectivist nation by both President Wilson and FDR to fight off the collectivist ilk from which you are from. For you see, collectivism creates world conquering war machines, and it takes one to destroy another. Now that the US has been turned into one of them, they now have troops in over 70 nations around the world with wars in a few going at the same time. This is all thanks to the Progressive ilk of both Wilson and FDR. Hitler only dreamed of such world supremacy.

So go ahead and ignore how progressive the Nazi regime was and how war like they were. After all, the US may be just as bad in terms of world conquest as progressivism, but it's not like the advocate genocide.........unless the unborn are actually human beings. If so, that means progressives had systematically killed over 50 million people. Ironically, the reasons why progressives kill off the unborn are very similar to why the Nazis killed off the Jews. It was over money. Jews were rounded up, stripped of their wealth, and sent to die. Then when the Nazis conquered other lands, they inflated the currencies of those countries as the soldiers looted them by using money the Nazis printed for them to use. Then the said countries economies would spiral out of control and Hitler would just tell them to round up the Jews and steal their gold in order to stabilize their economies, which they did. In like manner, the number one reason progressives today kill off the unborn is because they feel like they can't afford a child or don't want to afford a child. The only thing that stands in their way is to dehumanize the unborn by calling them a fetus, much like the Nazis dehumanized the Jew by calling them vermin.

At that moment, I felt as if the man was invincible, much to my dismay. At that moment, I felt in my heart that there was no more hope for this great country of ours.

Many people of my worldview then saw how much Obama ill thought of the Constitution he swore to uphold. I thought, "Just another president who broke his oath. When will there ever be a president elected who will uphold our Constitution as he promises?" However, the year 2013 came along. That year would wind up breaking the Obama presidency, eroding the hope people once had in it. The faith was gone. As the scandals broke out, as the once hailed healthcare law took effect and fell flat on it's face; many people began questioning the choice they made those five short years ago. They began to ask "is there any hope for us?" More and more people began to lose the hope they once had in the man who seemingly had it in abundant supply. As this year came along, I could see that there was no more hope for the Democrats. It had by January, evaporated, unlike the snow on the ground.

As the month of July rolls past in this year 2014, we now know where that hope has gone. It was nothing more than a lie, lofted on the wind for those in far away places. There was no hope, well, not for us at least. As we have tens of thousands of illegals flooding our border, we see now that it is America who has no hope; instead those who think of it as merely a place to gain without sacrifice, live without hardship, and work without any burden. But it will not take long for them to soon realize, as we have already--there is no more hope. Perhaps then, the human soul will provide that hope, instead of silver tongued politicians who carry hope on their sleeves and not in their hearts.

It's sad to hear that YOU as an individual have no HOPE in your life. My family and I have plenty of HOPE and JOY in our lives and guess what; it's NOT determined by who Our President is. This is still a great country, there are PLENTY of opportunities abound for people who want to chase their dreams. I think that blaming a President for no "hope" is pretty weak.
