I have the temerity to suggest the majority Dems of the late ’70s were fairly simple in their corruption and venalities compared to the Forces of Darkness now dominating the Congress.

M. Savage may be right that leftwingedness is a disease, presumably communicable. How else to explain its spread, like spilled ink, from MA into ME. Surely the Mainers haven’t been replaced one by one with Bostonians? Has there been massive diluting in-migration? Has the metro Portland pop. doubled in 20yrs?

Richard Aubrey: So true.

If more people knew the history of the 20th century, they would have recognized a socialist when they saw one, and known why that was bad.

forty-eight percent of us have the government fifty-two percent of us deserve.

I posted, just this morning, on the same issue, though much less eloquently.

I agree, Neo. And the problem will be compounded as it seems NO ONE, in any branch, will buck Obama. At least right now. And you've now got the Huffington Post in the Washington Press Corps. It's bleak and it is devastating. There's one bright note, though, the wall may be cracking, ever so slightly - Jon Stewart on Obama's Presser,

I strongly doubt that any of the Democrats/RINOS/MSM Reporters etc. etc. have any idea of how much a $trillion dollars really is, The easiest way to get a handle on the number is to divide it by the number of households in the US (100 million) or the population (300 million). The answers are $10,000 per household or $3,333 per person.

Here’s another way to look at it. In 2007, the Feds took in $2.5 trillion in tax revenues. 45% of that came from individual income tax. That is a tad over $1 trillion. The stimulus will cost almost as much as individuals paid in federal taxes in 2007.

There is no way this is going to work; say good bye to the US economy.

If I had known that Democrats were going to use the Iraq War to launch a sustained, deceitful, fifth column attack on the United States in order to take power, I would have opposed the war.

The real insurgents weren’t in Iraq.

I also had the same concern last fall, Neo. But, the Republicans partly did this to themselves, and then the economic meltdown sealed their fate. It’s obvious that the Left (with a capital L and includes BHO, Reid and Pelosi) see this as the golden opportunity to shove their socialism down America’s throat.

John said,
” this is a moderate recession, it is not a depression, no matter how much Obama whines and tries to instill fear of impending doom. Recessions are not the problem, they are the cure.”

How true. I’ve seen more great sales, etc. that are hard not to take advantage of recently. AND.. just today two items: Ford adding a shift to produce more F-150’s which are selling great, and the retail sales for January bumped up 1%. Small signs of this not being as bad as the Left would wish. However, wait until all that fake money that just passed the Congress begins flowing and watch the inflation rate go through the roof.
