Charles Payne is one of my American Heroes. I would love to see him run for office, but I don’t think he will.
On the most basic level here, conservatives would never imagine using a tragedy to push a political agenda, liberals couldn’t even hold off for the first press conference before they were pushing for their weapon bans.
The whole ‘let’s just get along’ crowd needs to stop their whining. Because honestly, what they’re saying is ‘we’re going to push our liberal agenda, and you need to stop trying to stop it.’
Sorry, I’m a conservative. I’m not going to wait until they put an abortion mill in my local middle school to raise objections. And if that offends someone, then good. Sorry to make your brain hurt by thinking, of offering an alternative.
“There was pride in electing the first black president, even by those that didn’t cast their vote for Barack Obama.”
Only for those who didn’t comprehend that he was an undocumented Marxist.
As for the current “national malaise,” it’s a deliberate creation of the Marxist-in-Chief; such a malaise always precedes a revolution, which is what President Lenin plans for the formerly free United States.
Good luck to those who value freedom; we’ll need it.
A big part of my retirement income is from dividends, maybe 15 or 20% and at that, they are reinvested but I still pay the 15% tax every year. Now Obama says I’m one of the “millionaires” who isn’t paying a “fair share”. What per cent does his welfare recipients pay? He wants 43.4% of my dividends now.
I worked hard and saved and invested all my adult life and retired early because I did. Obama wants the fruit of my labors now because he considers me, one of the rich, whose wealth he wants to redistribute - to be “fair”.
There has been no one ever, who has disgusted me more than Obama.
So well said, Charles. I’ve always liked his style and is one of the few financial talking heads I listen to, along with Cavuto.
And I share in his feelings of despair and sadness for a once great country. The last four years have been the worst in my life..I just don’t see how we do it for another four. My patience is long gone, my patience for the D.C. shuffle is WAY past gone. My patience for former friends who voted for this asshat is gone, I can no longer can speak to them. Any joy, feeling positive about the future, is a daily struggle. I am still trying...and will put one foot in front of the other..but it gets harder with each passing atrocity that this administration and its minions foist on us. I have no answers.
Payne’s list of ailments is long yet general. Get into the specific troubles facing us and it would take page after page after page to document them all. From bad education to foreign affairs blunders to corrupt banking to dirty politicians to widespread secrecy and lies in an “open” society, everything is turning sour. Everything! This must be what January of 1942 felt like, with bad news piled on top of more bad news.
I’ve been feeling the same malaise that Payne mentions, interspersed with bouts of sadness, anger, hopelessness and resolve. How could so many Americans stand by and watch their great nation be dishonored and dismantled? Are there no patriots left?
Perhaps it is too late and too complicated to repair. Maybe we do need to plow the ground again and plant fresh seed. What a sad state of affairs.
Since the inception of this nation, there has been a never-ending battle for the right balance between a giant central government and smaller local government.
Alexander Hamilton tried to build a giant central government but was frustrated by the Anti-Federalists (the liberty faction)and James Madison (who wrote the Bill of Rights that Hamilton deprecated).
It was Abraham Lincoln who managed to accomplish John Quincy Adams's idea of taking over several States and "reorganizing" their governments, to administer a beat-down to the agrarians and libertarians of his day and deliver the now-national agenda of an overmastering central government to the business interests and their political allies.
We've had undiagnosed Stockholm Syndrome ever since.
I love Charles Payne. He’s one of my Fox favorites. That said, he voted for Obama because Obama is black.
