To GameOver: According to our new president, paying TAXES is our patriotic duty. And don’t even get started with CEO salary comparisons, most congressmen make more than doctors. Since congressmen sit in an office all day long or ride around on private jets, why aren’t you *edited*ed at them?
Facism: “A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.”
–Centralization of authority under a dictator: government control of markets, banks, and industry through bailout the program
–stringent socioeconomic controls: Helping the poor and minorities by “redistributing wealth” from the rich
–suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship: Obama is the only candidate to date to kick reporters from newspapers that didn’t support him off his plane, independent studies found that Obama’s press coverage was much more positive than McCain’s and that McCain had nearly 60% negative stories and 15% positive ones while Obama was balanced at ~30% positive/negative/neutral
–policy of belligerent nationalism and racism: Obama played the race card before anyone came close to bringing up his race as a negative
Now the real question is whether or not Obama will pick communism or facism as there are fairly strong signs of both in how he plans to run things while in office.
Relist the questions as I don’t feel like looking for them but will be happy to answer.
Once again you have failed to answer my other questions from earlier I want to know…”What I have to ask you is if more then 3/4 of the people who carried out the attacks on 9/11 why did we attack Sadam Hussein and go into Afghanistan? Was it not Saudi Arabia’s fault?”
Why do republicans constantly compare a somewhat socialist agenda to communism. It is no where close to it. Communism is everyone getting the exact same pay for doing whatever job they get.
Yes I do believe that paying taxes is our patriotic duty otherwise our country would crumble. Your version of the perfect conservative/republican world automatically becomes Anarchy and therefore I win. Peoplle Have to pay taxes there is no question about this. That is how the potholes in your street gets fixed or when it snows your road gets plowed.
And yes there are a lot of people that I am mad at because they make an over satiable amount of money for doing nothing. No matter what you say our country is not how hard you work but who you blow. Those rats sitting in office and congress and senate or even the mayor of your town has most likely taken a bribe or two and weaseled there ways into office.
I acknowledge that there are some genuine people out there that truly do some good but face it once again there is .5% of the country that ruins it for the rest.(I realize that is not an actual stat but you get my point)

You personally may not have voted for him but guess what, 52% of voters did and now he only has a 34% approval rating, meaning that a whopping 22 million people went “o wait, maybe I DIDNT mean to vote for him”. Also, just because I didn’t vote for Obama does that mean I should automatically disagree with his every action? I mean you said THAT is patriotism so sure why not.
I did not disagree with every action Bush has made but I do feel that he is one of the worst presidents we have ever had and I do feel that he did not deserve office. I am glad it was him who was there when 9/11 happened because I do not believe Kerry could have handled it. But I do not believe that he went after the right group of people.
