RE :”Obama doesn't have to fool all the people all the time — just enough to win the swing states. If you can believe that Obama was truly against same-sex marriage when he said he was, that he is for an “all of the above” energy policy, that Obamacare won't come between patients and their doctors and will decrease costs, or that Obama has been the most frugal president in the past 60 years, I could sell you any bridge (or road), and I suppose you can believe he isn't the enemy of American businesses.”

Best part of writing.

Great article!

“Anit-American” needs to be stamped on Obama’s forehead. And many Liberals too!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall......

The only antidote he has to this is to gush about the free market system and give long talks about how the pilgrims and later the pioneers started with nothing and created wealth, and that the government has was and always is formed on the back of the private wealth producers. He is not capable of giving those kind of speeches. In this area he is programmed to stay true to his beliefs. It is about the only area the guy cannot spin a lie for his own benefit (Thank goodness). All he can do is protest that he is being treated unfairly.

Obama is but a symptom, the visible pustule, of the progressive cancer killing America.

He and all his progressive kind must be purged from the body politic. They must be starved into helplessness and never again be allowed to function in a meaningful manner.

Go along get along is not adequate. Simple defeat is not adequate. Through cleansing and purge is required to assure they do not rise from the ashes

[ryan71]

He’s wrong either way he wants to explain it.

Yes, people who built businesses DID build the roads, bridges and other infrastructure.

1. Commerce - Commerce came first, before the infrastructure. Infrastructure was the result of commerce. Roads were built because goods needs to be moved.

2. Tax Money - The top 1% earners pay 40% of all tax revenue? They are certainly funding most of the infrastructure their businesses demand.

When he’s in a hole, why doesn’t he stop digging?

[ryan71]

This is a much easier argument than the “chicken or the egg”.

Commerce came before infrastructure. Infrastructure was a result of commerce.

When people settled this country they had no infrastructure but that did not stop them. They went to work. People, entrepreneurs invented and developed things like electricity and combustion engines to support and grow infrastructure.

The guy has no clue how money is made and he has no clue about the capitalist spirit that grew this country.

The ‘pilgrims’ came here to evade the kind of government “O” thinks is good for us.

What colonists and later LEGAL immigrants succeeded in creating was done at first WITHOUT and later INS SPITE of government!

The Crown was the first impediment colonists had to throw off in order to succeed. Now Americans have another obstacle to their success and they have to struggle against THEIR OWN equally oppressive and rapacious system.!

Abused children STILL love their abusing parent.... it is going to be difficult for Americans to stand up to ‘government’ as it has become over so long a history of 'benefit' to citizens. The tally sheet has become unbalanced.... the costs far outweigh the actual benefits!

[bert]

——When he’s in a hole, why doesn’t he stop digging?-—

He has been deeply wounded by truth. He has been challenged to the depths of his soul. Never has he been so strongly reprimanded. Ever.

His buttons have been pushed and there is now no end to the getting under his skin. He has multitudes under his skin crawling around at will.

He is powerless to resist the urges to lash out with lies to stop the torment

[Kaslin]

I agree with you, November 6 can not come soon enough

[Hardraade]

Actually, I defy anyone to believe *anything* you say, Zero..

“The Crown was the first impediment colonists had to throw off in order to succeed.”

For many years the first Americans in the colonies were forbidden from making metal tools of any kind. They could only be purchased from England and were very expensive.

[bcsco]

Of course governments -- funded by individual and business revenues, by the way -- build the roads and bridges, to successful and failed businesses.

I cringe every time I see this statement, even from David's brother, without them taking it to its obvious conclusion. Yes, government provides the funding to build roads and bridges through funds taken from individuals and businesses. But those funds go right back to the private sector because its business that does the building through government contracts. Government doesn't build anything. Well, of course there's the Corps of Engineers...

[SMARTY]

“...colonies were forbidden from making metal tools of any kind. They could only be purchased from England and were very expensive.”

These are textbook definitions of 'Communism' and 'oppressive government' and a real blueprint for failure. How can any nation hope for prosperity and social stability if the government sits on them and stifles their potential/

[DManA]

Barry’s statement looks even worse in context.
