Why is America so screwed up?

[iolo]

Senator McCarthy's contribution to your history meant that extreme-right nutters could get away with any old drivel, and they still can.

 

[candycorn]

So we should deploy our military might more often...is that your argument?

Do you see that in my post somewhere, or did you just pull that out of a Rolodex?

Yes. I said it's becoming too expensive to dominate the world in both blood and treasure. You said "no it's not" meaning that you think the costs are well worth it.

Either you're too undeveloped to have understood the reference to "blood" (our military) and "treasure" (the costs of fielding the military) or you think the price is worth paying.

So are you undeveloped or simply stupid?

Projecting is a vain business.

"More often" is not necessary. Making an example when we do would save us a world of trouble. Obama's fighting method of "feint then faint" has shit all over our lost troops killed in the last decade, and has accomplished the opposite. Obama's a laughing stock both here and abroad. More and more of his former officials are stepping forward to say how inept the man is.

Given the results of Obama's narcissism, I am compelled to go with their assessment. He has made the world a far more dangerous place.

Yet we're no longer losing troops by the dozens in the Middle East in unwinnable wars. Point Obama.

The war was won, and yet Obama determinedly found defeat, effectively shitting all over the blood and treasure spent there. No wonder the troops hate his guts.

We were losing troops. We had installed a theocrat that hated us (or at least said he did to his electorate) and the insurgency wasn't going anywhere. Those are facts. That is not "winning" or signs that you won anything other than a prize not worth having.

In 2007, we lost over 900 troops. In 2008, we lost 300 or so.

Fewer deaths is winning you dumbass.

Few if anyone is laughing at Obama or our Government. We have the highest standard of living, an average income of 7x the average Chinese citizen, something like 40x the average Russian....

Both have obviously diminished markedly under Obama, and yes, while foreign socialist governments friendly to Obama's nonsense may not be laughing on camera, laughing they are, along with everyone else.

So it's imaginary laughter...gotcha!

I have often heard that ignorance is bliss ...

If that is the case, you must be fucking orgasmic.

Gee, can't even think of your own insults....

If you want an object lesson of what is wrong with the nation...look at Billy.

He wants us to continue to lose soldiers to satisfy some sort of bloodlust. He's scared of ISIS, scared of someone "laughing at us", and offers nothing but profanity and ignorance.

America, at its best, isn't scared. America at it's best is determined. To destroy Nazi and Japanese imperialism, to unite the nation, to go to the moon, to settle the West...whatever you want to call it. We should be this determined to stop polluting the world with coal and reverse obvious global climate change but no...we have dumb asses swearing that it has nothing to do with pumping metric tons of smoke into the atmosphere. And, until we can perfect wind, tidal, and solar...that means nuke power liberals!!! We should be determined to secure our borders. While it won't stop immigration, it will stop a lot of illicit payloads.

Sadly, at least on this message board, Billy is a frightened little person and he is pretty representative of the average right wing poster.

Here is a reason why.Marijuana and Tobacco are natural substances that God put here to help us. Literally all things on the planet are here for a reason. Berries and mushrooms which are poisonous to humans are not poisonous to animals, they are good for the animals, they help the animals health. Marijuana, Tobacco, Bellidona, Cocoa, Psychobilon, Peyote, and Opium are good for humans. They help to make us all around healthier just like all natural Non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and nuts do. These natural substances make us healthier and expand our minds, which is why they are illegal. The elite do not want expanding our minds, and they don't want using natural remedies for things like cancer. Marijuana does cure and prevent cancer, many other things. Psychobilon (Magic mushrooms) cure depression and PTSD. Tobacco chills you out. Bellidona (a type of berry) gives you energy. Cocoa (the plant that cocaine is made from) the leaves also give you energy. And Marijuana, Magic mushrooms, Peyote, and Opium expand your mind. Another reason why they are illegal is money. If these were legal prescription drug pharmacies would not exist. And they also get money from putting your sorry ass in prison for a possession of a piece of nature. And the CIA imports hard artificially made drugs into the United States, in order to get people addicted to shit that slowly kills you. The CIA gets money from importing drugs, and arrested American citizens for possession of theses drugs. Another reason is population control, because theses drugs kill people.

Whoaaaaa duuuudddddeeee....thaaaaattsss reaaaalllly deeeepppp maaaaan. A bunch of horseshit, but really deep.

Fewer deaths is winning you dumbass.

Too funny. Only if you accomplish the mission. Otherwise, no.

So it's imaginary laughter...gotcha!

Oh Gawd no. The Euros lump him in with their own idiot Leftist governments.

Gee, can't even think of your own insults....

No need when you so graciously provide them.

If you want an object lesson of what is wrong with the nation...look at Billy.

And so, it's all about Billy with you. Too funny.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is her requisite blathering runaway speech, completely off-topic and couched in the usual phony Americanisms to make you think she really is one. Cue background music:



"[Billy] wants us to continue to lose soldiers to satisfy some sort of bloodlust. He's scared of ISIS, scared of someone "laughing at us", and offers nothing but profanity and ignorance.

[Rustic]

Half of all American school children are living in poverty.

50 million are on food stamps.

Half of us do not vote.

More than 60 percent of Americans are overweight or obese.

We are trillions of dollars in debt.

We are more divided than ever.

Politics has turned into one big reality show.

The Washington elites don't give a damn.

When will this madness end? Is America the 21st Century equivalent of Rome? How did we get to this point?

Socialism

If you honestly want to claim that america has any "socialist" influence, you're re-defining socialism to mean anything the moderate left does.

Civilization its self is socialism to these idiots.
Paving our highways is socialism to these idiots
Having a police force is socialism to these idiots

These people are sick in the head.

Socialist is being a control freak...

 

[Rustic]

One person is responsible: Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Think about it.

FDR invented the "New Deal"....LBJ doubled down on FDR with the "Great Society" programs. These gave us the entitlement mentality and the mega welfare state we see today

Socialism only works for a short time for dead beats, then other people's money runs out...
That is why our government is a banana republic.

Exactly wrong- Reaganists seem to WANT a banana republic, it's working great- Our middle class is dying in comparison with other modern countries.
After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison EVAH, and in the modern world!! And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole?

More nonsense.

That is all you have. America was built by unions, anti-trust laws and a level playing field that allowed for the avg joe to reach for the stars. WTF has reaganism done? Oh'yess, it has destroyed this.

Socialism has had no part in making this nation great as it once was, the childish concept of socialism has made this government a banana republic...

I'll say it all goes back to the industrial revolution.

Na, not really.
Our socialist career politicians with their political correctness have pushed the basics out of schools. The federal government can't create anything but a control freak environment.
The federal government can't create stability, jobs, contentment or happiness for anyone. The bigger the government the more oppressive it will be. We have by far the largest government the world has ever seen, in turn its strangling everything that has made this country great.
The founding fathers saw all of this coming... Our protections from this controlling government are dying one by one.

Yeppers. The Democrats want to see our country where nobody has any more money than the next person. They want to see a government where only they have the money and guns. Government controls the economy and jobs. Government takes care of healthcare.

There is a place like that already, it's called Cuba, and everybody is equally poor there.

When I was in High School it was and so was watching "Animal Farm", of course that was back during the cold war.

We are living in the country predicted by Orwell and Rand. 1984 and Atlas Shrugged should be mandatory reading for every student in America---once in high school and again in college.

Sweden is living on borrowed time, and other people's dimes. Like I said socialism works for dead beats short term. They(current government) have not been around long to see their ultimate demise.... All in good time.

Socialism has never worked for the good of anyone long term in the history of the planet.

You do know the definition of insanity??

Idiotic bs propaganda for the dupes. WE NEED DEMAND. 5% UE, pass the gd Immigration Bill and stop illegal immigration.

Demand all you want to. Your President wants to bring in a lot more legal and illegal immigrants and thousands of Middle Eastern refugees. If you are Black, your days of finding employment anywhere are getting fewer each day.

More illegal aliens, dupe. BS. PASS THE GD Shumer/Graham Bill with good SS ID card. Change the channel and learn something.

Yeah, it says "legalize the illegals...so they're not illegal anymore". Then add some more illegals on top of it....as long as the companies can demonstrate they "tried" to hire non-illegals. Oh, and pay them more federal benefits so they'll be good slaves.

Here's a better idea that doesn't come with another huge government price tag. Enforce the fisking laws on the books. Nothing else necessary.

Only hater dupes think you can deport 11 million people. BTW, in 2007 94% of illegal men worked, 65% paid taxes, and 35% owned their own homes. You dupes only get excited during one of your GOP bubbles/busts/depressions...before and after, you love cheap illegal labor.

35% own their own home? How does some one here illegally buy a home? When I bought my home I had to provide a SS Nos, undergo credit checks, etc. I'm not doubting the numbers just pointing out that something is not right.
