Featured The Success of Barak Hussein Obama

No I was mocking the assertion that the United States had become a Third World country under the Obama administration.

Its true blacks started "crossing over" in 1932, but significant percentages still voted for Republican candidates until 1964.

I agree on Scoop Jackson being a good Democrat (he should have been the nominee instead of McGovern in 1972 imo), but I must disagree with the rest. Both Thurmond and Russell were fanatical segregationists and racists who opposed the implementation of civil rights legislation with Thurmond being willing to divide the party for that sole reason.

I do not disagree with this.

The unfortunate thing is that President Kennedy's tax cut proposal has been blown out of proportion to imply that he'd have supported any and all tax cuts rather than in the context of when he was President.

It seems to me LBJ was quite a "tough" President, being able to push Congress to implement important legislation.

Eleanor Roosevelt wasn't a Marxist.

Citation needed.

In other words you aren't going to bother responding to my factual critique of your baseless assertions. I didn't "cut and paste" it either.

I did specify in my post that it was the Deep South states, not all Southern states, that voted for Goldwater btw.

The Roosevelt administration, on the whole, probably did much to ameliorate the Great Depression making sure it did not grow any worse and improving the situation slightly. Of course full recovery did not happen until the war. Austerity policies, however, would have made the situation worse as can be seen in Greece or indeed any other country where such policies have been implemented.

Do you believe American involvement in the Second World War was a mistkae?

In the United States, the "one drop" rule means that anybody who detectable black blood will be considered "black" by most people.

How so? If anything FDR's agricultural policies probably saved the American farmer.

And those were among the things that made Truman a great President-ensuing health insurance access for Americans. He did want to win the Korean War, he just did not want to risk World War 3 over it.

Robert Taft was an honest and decent man but his isolationist and laissez-faire politics would have been a bad fit for the complexities of the post-war world.

Actually I would like for the President to be taking more decisive action right now. But the question must be asked-where were all the conservative Republicans when Bush invaded Iraq eleven years ago, which started the cycle of persecution and violence for the Christian community in Iraq? Why did they not speak out for them then instead of praising the glowing reports on Fox News about how Iraq was rapidly on the way to democracy?

You mean the same Hillary Clinton who is the wife of Bill Clinton? The same Hillary Clinton who voted for the Iraq War? The same Hillary Clinton who was a consistent hawk in the Obama administration? :laugh:

 

Do we all agree that BHO II is the most successful Democrat ever?

 

No, that'd be FDR.

 

OBama is not the president. Valerie Jarrett is. Obama is too stupid.

 

You do realize people said the same thing regarding Dubya and Dick Cheney, correct?

 

Yeah, but they were wrong. :laugh:

Actually, I disagree with Obama being too stupid. I think he's just stupid enough to think this agenda will work.

 

I have to admit, I have no true understanding why extremist liberals cannot deal with issues involving their favorite politicians without bringing up issues involving conservatives of the past.

However, my suspicion is that they are insecure with their own defense and arguments of their own.

 

No its because you use arguments that apply equally well to these politicians.

 

And?.....................

 

I would say that the party of wishful thinking is the one that thinks tax revenues will rise if taxes were cut, that deficits can be reduced while cutting taxes, that the free market never makes a mistake, that thinks that the unprecedented concentration of incomme in American society can continue without consequence, that thinks tort reform will magically reduce health care costs, that thinks that the only thing the poor need to become rich is to just work harder, and that thinks we can be "pro-life" just by banning abortion rather than things such as guaranteeing maternity leave and having universal daycare so that children will be cared for after birth.

 

Universal day care ?

 

The same systems that were behind it in the 60's. Read "Radical Son" by David Horowitz. Marxists have been pushing their agenda for decades. People by the dozens were sent into this country to recruit hundreds of and thousands of people to simply pollute educational, art and entertainment institutions among others, and thereby evangelize the nation with their "gospel." Anyone wonder why CrabMaoBoy and General Dung Beans are even active on a Baptist board?

 

WOW!!

I think I will make a check out to "CASH", go to the bank, and hope they will do to the check what you did to my post!!

If the ratio holds between how you magnified my words, and the cashing of the check, I'll get at least 1000% more than the face value.:thumbs::thumbs:

 

Well, we used to be a known as a democracy. Now Republicans talk about the tyranny of the majority because they're not getting everything they want. The PEOPLE voted Obama into the presidency twice. That's why we are blessed with his leadership which is quite a relief after the dismal failure of GW Bush.

 

That's gotta be the funniest thing I've read all year! :laugh:
