When Bush was busy pushing his agenda they were everywhere. You couldn't sling a dead cat without hitting a code pinko, war protester, dissenter, or other angry discontent.
Now that we have Barack Obama it seems like protesting the war is something you are not supposed to do. They dare not ask why if the economic slump is over then why do we still need to spend a trillion dollars we don't really have. If Bush's decision to have troops in Iraq was so wrong then why hasn't Barry brought them home?
Where in the hell did the Question Authority people go?

Real men and Women continue to question - even Obama.
liberals never were concerned about what Bush was doing, otherwise they'd be going completely apeshit at the tyranny out of Washington these last few months. Liberals simply hated Bush. Nothing more. The silence of the liberals now is deafening and the proof that my argument is correct.View thread

If anyone is stealing from me it is the increasing number of Federal Government bureaucrats that seem to think nothing of taxing me more, or of the devaluation of my saved dollars by printing money out of thin air.
Big Government that feels empowered to play Robin Hood is a far worse enemey than a few fatcats making big money.
The fact is that poor people do not hire anyone and neither is every poor person the result of someone else's greed. A stroll through the local soup kitchen (where I donate time) is proof enough of that.
What you fail to admit is that all of your Democrat generosity is actually stealing from me and my children. The impossibly high taxes required to solve all the problems you perceive in the world come from people like me.
It steals my hard earned money - that's my money - not the government's money.
It denies me the right to apply charity where and when I feel it is best applied and turns it over to bureaucrats who use the money to buy votes and payoff friends. The poor actually get less than if you'd left the money in the hands of the generous american people who earn it.
People who built this country and make it great are the people whose jobs are lost daily do to paper money manipluated by internation banks, foreign nations (like china), and yes business ceos that outsource because the previous two make it cheaper to do so. Hard working americans don't want Democrat handouts - they want to work and keep what they work. The smart ones are t...

Hard working americans don't want Democrat handouts - they want to work and keep what they work. The smart ones are tired of being made stooges to the Democrat Party for petty handouts while the Democrat politicos treat themselves to CEO lifestyles and benefits packages.
On the other hand - Republican devotees still wait for a smaller government, lower taxes, candidate who can keep his promises and stop harrassing the rest of the world with senseless wars.
"Paper money is what allows the hyper rich banking moguls to bilk the economy and individuals of their savings and retirements."
That's about as baseless and ridiculous a comment as I've ever heard. The money you get paid with for contract work is borrowed, and I'll bet you've borrowed more than once yourself to stay in business.
And every poor person is the result of indivudual and or coorparate greed. It's coorporations that ship jobs overseas not unions.
"Hard working americans don't want Democrat handouts - they want to work and keep what they work."
That may be the only partially true statement you've made yet,...people don't want handouts they want jobs, but tell me now how many jobs were outsourced to China during the Bush years? Republicans don't care about working people....
Secondly, you understand nothing about foreign manipulation of currency values, the Federal Reserve and the US economy.
I've never borrowed money in my business (unless you want to consider an occasional credit card purchase paid to zero balance every month) as "borrowing money".
"every poor person is the result of individual or corporate greed" How about requiring a little personal responsibility from people? I've met more than my share of poor people who are not poor because a corporation deprived them - whatta joke this comment is - it so naive it's incredible.
Try not to be just like the Republicans who blame everything on "the other party". It's both mainstream parties that have destroyed this nation - think for yourself for a change.
If the only plea you can make for the common good is more Unions and Democrats then you're like hardcore Republicans - part of the problem.
True, there are good people who lose their jobs due to outsourcing as I have several times in my life - and I have four kids to feed, clothe and educate. In fact, I have been fired only one less time than I have been hired.
What I said is that not every poor person is the victim of corporate greed - there are those who are poor due to their own human nature. They drink, do drugs, manage their money unwisely. I know a doctor who is now destitue because he had a gambling weakness and then became a drunk afterward.
To say that every poor person is the result of corporate (or other individuals greed) is to deny that people have free will to make their own choices and the responsibility to make good choices. You denied fundamental human nature.
Like I said, I often help at the local soup kitchen because I believe in relieving the suffering of others. I also pay for 8 children in foreign countries to eat, go to school, and get regular medical treatment. But these things are MY NOTION of charity and we're not supposed to legislate our notions of charity and morality upon others - remember?
My personal belief is that I will answer to God above for all my failures to ...

My personal belief is that I will answer to God above for all my failures to help my suffering brothers and sisters in need - so I do. Not everyone believes as I do.
Liberal minded people never want anyone legislating morality they themselves do not agree with but they soon forget that principle when their own morality compels them to help their fellow oppressed man. Then they want to legislate their morality on everyone via new laws and taxation because they believe that is fair and just.
There's something wrong with that picture.
My level of charity far exceeds the national average - it certainly exceeds that of most members of congress including the president. It would be wrong to force you to give to charitable organizations just because I think them worthy causes.
The same thing applies to liberal democrats. Forcing me (via taxation) to pay for their pet programs is also wrong.
There is absolutely no cause for politicians to rob citizens this way - we get so little for it - other than bloated politicians perhaps and an ever increasing corrupt government.

Obama Almighty is not to be questioned - ever.
