I am not a Democrat, (as depicted by the picture) nor am I a Republican. I am just an American with an opinion, so quit trying to shove your political agenda on me.As an American I have a right, no I have a freedom, to speak about what I wish, freely. I make no apologies for my opinion, and I ask no one to make them on my behalf. However, as of recent, a newly elected political figure feels like he must apologize on my behalf to others, yet I don't remember asking him to do so.
As of recent he has also pumped billions of trillions of dollars into an economy, that if it's to remain a capitalist society, should be allowed to reset on it's own. Now as we watch 4 billion in tax dollars go into bankruptcy, I wonder how my children are going to survive paying back a debt they had nothing to do with.
I'm concerned about the carbon credits, and Al's hidden agenda on pushing something that will be nothing more than a profit for big business. One of the biggest in business, our government. See for those of you who don't know your government is a business, and in order to stay afloat, they need us. But, without your willingness to stand up for yourself, I'm afraid this is a boat that will stay afloat for quite some time.
I never asked to own a bank, yet now I do. I don't have time to run a car company, but now I have to figure out how. I don't know much about insurance, but I'm in the business, anyone need a policy? Oh, and because I am a great guy I've also picked up some of my neighbors mortgage's. Did I mention I had a lot of neighbors?
With all of my new found hobbies that my government has put me on the hook for, I barely have time to myself. Cough, is that the swine flu? Great guess I'm going to buy some hospitals soon!
Republican or Democratic, you have got to quit putting your political figure on a pedestal. Both parties stand for the same thing, which is being in the business of being all up in your business. If you want my attention quit telling me what your party "used too" stand for. (you know, as your parents and professors have brain washed you to believe) Instead tell me how they're helping, by getting off my back and allowing me to be what I was born to be. A free and proud American, with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Given that I've never seen that image of Obama on any pro-Obama blog, I'm guessing it's titled, "Straw Man." The image shown of Obama is one dreamed up by right-wingers, who twist the genuine hope that Obama can help fix this mess into some caricature of cult madness. Seeing how the right equated Bush with God for so many years, I'd say that's projection of the worst kind.
From your post, it appears your outrage over government spending started on January 20, 2009. You never ask why we were in such a mess that required federal bailouts in the first place. That would mean diverting some raw anger away from Obama to where it really belongs, wouldn't it?
Ian,
Although I can appreciate your leftest point of view, it doesn't really matter who was right or who was wrong. As I stated I am not affiliated with eithier party and think both of them need to be scraped off the bottom of my shoe and deposited directly into the trash can. The wrong's need to be righted, no matter which parties turn it is to sit in the big chair.
Oh, and I don't have a problem with government, when it governs, but is that really what's going on?
I'm not particularly swayed by the "both parties are corrupt" argument, because it's a cop-out. It oversimplifies the problems with government without offering a workable solution. It's not that I don't agree on some levels about mutual corruption; but neither do I delude myself that one party isn't far worse than the other. And try as I might, I can't equate anything Obama has yet done with Bush's transgressions in office.
My question to you is, what do you think needs to be done to get America over this system? Third party? If so, then who? How do they curry Americans' support in a sustained way that can actually make a difference?
How about anyone who believes as presidents 1 thru 4 did or number 16 is a personal fav as well. (when I say believes I mean goverment beliefs)

This is the first time I've visited your blog, but you sir deserve a medal for that paragraph.
I serve on the GOP Executive Committee in my parish (same as county) in Louisiana, and the amount of heat I get from partisans when I try to explain that former President Bush ushered in the move towards socialism we are seeing today is quite sad.
Thanks Nick
