All I want is to "Take back my country" from the majority of the people that elected this president, even though I say I'm a real American and believe in democracy, I don't believe it if it doesn't go my way.

You have no right to advocate raising our taxes for a failed policy of "spreading the wealth around"!!! If you feel the personal urge for "social justice", donate to a local charity...but don't force the rest of us to participate in a social experiment that fails everywhere its tried.

For the life of me I do not know how anyone would ever want to emulate the decrepit economies of Western Europe, with low social/economic mobility, ultra high taxes, consistently high unemployment, behemoth bureaucracies, non existent customer service, poor access to consumer goods, etc

For the life of me I do not know how anyone would want to reshape the American economy that has served everyone so well. Heck, America's "poor" have multiple automobiles, color TV, and are so well fed that obeisity is a national epidemic!
Your assertions would be well taken if they were correct.

You aren't the only one whose money is hard earned however there isn't any declared policy of spreading wealth around nor is there any social experiment of this Adm. that has failed every where its tried.

The economies of Western Europe are not decrepit.

There is more good reasons to reshape the American economy than not, and what the American poor have or don't have is inimitable--plus they should not be compared to the poor of other countries. The extremes and inequalities have grown dramatically in the last decade or so. Many haven't been "well served" at all and it isn't necessarily their fault, either.

As far as social justice is concerned i'm for it. One step in that direction would be to ensure that all the me-bodies that believe themselves an island would reside on one.There must be a few available that could accommodate the useless.

Go to your TEA BAG convention and cry your eyes out. You LOST and we WILL restore progressive politics in this country weather you like it or not.
Isn't that what Congress did just last month?

America is not a democracy; it’s a republic that was established to protect our inherent individual rights. The popular majority can not vote those rights away.

Imaginary? You mean terrorists and terrorism are "imaginary" villains?

You mean all those Democrats in Congress telling us how much of a threat they were?

"Climate change," perhaps?

By the way, I am a real-American. It is comments like that that turn people off.
Like 3,000 dead in the WTC bombing. A total imaginary happening. Nothing more than Haliburton operatives creating imaginary villains so Bush could celebrate the deaths of thousands of American soldiers. Obvious the planes were imaginary trickery the real villain being Dick Cheney and Haliburton! //Sarcasm off

First thing I noticed is that I thought all left wing kool-aiders were so, so smart.

So how is the whether or the weather?

And we did not lose you did!

You wont one election but we won the war. Obama was the perfect plant for the perfect time in our history. He will get the total blame for the downfall of America and will take the entire demwit party with him.

The end of liberals running things is America is over thanks to Adolf Obama.

He is the gift that keeps on giving.

The dems might as well get out of the way because we are taking back American from the left wing radicals one way or another. Wait and see.

I would not be so pushy with only 20% of you kind in America left.

You do not have enough people and votes to continue this destruction of America.

Get used to being defeated like you were in NJ, Va and Mass.

Boy you hit the nail on the head. Dems parts of they don't take no for any answer. How bout Obama the gift we'd like to send back. If something is not done and done soon, there will be a destruction of America under Obama, coming soon near a movie theatre near you.
