The Soviets gave Marxism-Leninism sixty years to “work” - and then gave up.

How long are the American people expected to wait?

We need different names for different degrees.

There is absolutely no comparison between a PhD in physics, math, or engineering and a PhD in economics, education, or political “science”.

And those loons are ruining the title.

Obama promised to fundamentally transform America. He did just that.
I look around, and I do not like what I see.

We could ask, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?"
Or we could ask, "Do you like the New America? Is the transformation working for you?"

He has certainly moved fast,

I believe that the reason he moved so fast was the belief that other Socialist Presidents failed because they moved too slow.

I sure hope the next wacko President doesn’t double down and try to enact this kind of crap within 3 months of taking office. I don’t think we will survive it.

"We simply need more of them, and more time for them to work –"

Yup, typical Keynesian economic response to failure. . . we didn't spend enough, that's why it didn't work. However, "enough" is never defined and is always a moving target. A trillion dollars didn't work because we didn't spend 2 trillion. Two trillion didn't work, etc.

This is exactly how they argue "Man Made Global Warming". No matter what the weather conditions are at the time, it is always proof positive for its existence. Too hot. . . GW, Too cold . . GW . . just right . . GW.

Not necessarily, the Ph.D.’s in the hard sciences use “science”, “technology”, the “scientific method”, “proof in the laboratory,” and other such terms to justify their own “science,” which is also often politically-driven in order to get liberal government grants. I understand a person can’t get a master’s degree as well as a Ph.D. in biology if he disbelieves in “evolution,” which they no longer consider “just” a theory but essential to the total understanding of biology. Government has corrupted all fields of knowledge with the carrot of popular “grants.”

2or 3 % ? I think he'd need at least 5% to get what he wants.

Zero could pull his chestnuts out of the fire by proposing a flat tax with no exemptions, but he’ll never do it. He truly believes the rich should pay more because it’s “fair.”

What shocks me is how few people see how exactly 2008 copied 1929. Our experts say the same things they did then; the only difference is that the Democrat got elected right then instead of three years later. People ought to remember this, either from their own memories, or from older family members.

But because it worked last time, the Democrats are STILL blaming the Republicans!!! And the Republican are letting them get away with it!!! America couldn’t spend itself into prosperity then, and it can’t now.

Guess we’ll have to have a major war to ‘recover.’

Successful dictators of the past, having achieved power, moved with dizzying speed to consolidate it and eliminate opposition. Obama has tried to do exactly what Hitler, Mao and Lenin did, with some success. Only the strength of the American culture has prevented him from creating a full-on police state.

I'd like all those folks that bad mouthed GWB to step forward and take a bow.... I don't think the dems could have done a better job disenfranchising conservative voters in 2008.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that tactic again - “let's paint the conservative as a moderate so all the conservatives stay home.”

BHO didn't appoint himself to the job - he had alot conservatives that were too proud to get out and vote for the lesser of two evils and the result was that they voted for BHO in the end by not showing up.

How many people use rude rhetoric to describe convserative candidates rather than principled arguments ? I hear alot of that on talk radio.... I wonder how many Mike Savage fans stayed home.... (and I like Dr. Savage).

Yes, but lets not forget that Hitler didn’t do it in 8 years.

What he need to do was set the country on a path where it would reach critical mass.

That is what Obama is trying to do....make everything collapse quickly enough so he can move in with massive government controls to save everyone one.

He is trying to make it a decision of liberty vs food.

You are exactly right and the same thing happened in the 2006 election and we know what that result was

I have to disagree.
