dont worry, left and backspace is the same too, they both mean that they are always wrong too. otherwise there would be no reason to backspace.

Obama and the Democratic party would absolutely be considered a conservative party in much/all of Western Europe and Canada. Ask any European or Canadian on this board, or just go and check out the world forums.

So you, my friend, are the one who is either delusional or joking.
Absolutely true, yet you are being called delusional by people on this board. It's not really up for debate, anybody who knows anything about the political climate in other democracies knows that the Obama administration would be considered just right of center and the repubs would be considered extreme rwnj.

Yes, they are but you choose to be snide and make it look like there is something wrong with objecting to that. It takes a crybaby to want civil debate? Really?

You can thank dear leader with a campaign donation. I know he isn't running anymore but doubt you do. You folks still think Bush was running last election.
Hilarious. You do know that the "executive orders" that you are getting your panties in a wad about were all suggestions and have no real power? Who's delusional now?

There will be enough productive assets for the government to strip, but by 2016 we will see a collapse.

OP, you forgot another founding principle of being a TGOP rwnj.

If I don't get my way politically, America is doomed and I lose all faith and pride in her.

The reality is that this country is headed in the wrong direction when our politicians can be blackmailed for votes by an ethnocentric group of people who only care about their ethnic group even those here illegally and not anyone else nor this country and we make citizens out of these illegal parent's kids by birth. Are you one of them? Or perhaps a bleeding heart liberal? It's okay you and your kind will reap what you sow one day. I just hope I am alive to see it.

Its Godwin time. Man you guys need to turn the history Chanel off at the nursing home and read a book.

I believe that people should vote their conscience. I listen to both sides of the issues and I am not comfortable accepting the viewpoints offered by the Liberal side of the equation. I do not consider myself a right-wing extremist, but I do value the integrity of my country and I am very much concerned with the way that it appears to be headed.

Having lived in big [diverse] cities as well as small cities, towns of various sizes and now in a rural environment in several different states (including California, I might add), I have seen what liberalism does. I believe that liberal values HURT the country, NOT based upon what I hear on talk radio, or read, but based upon what I have seen and experienced with my own two eyes. Therefore, I cannot support that agenda.

And I am not religious, either, in case you wanted to point your finger at me and accuse me of being a bible thumper. LOL

For example, I've seen/heard dozens of times that they're the only "true Americans", etc. etc. Because if you don't believe exactly what they believe, then you're not a "true American" . Given that the changing demographics of our country seem to be going against them, you'd think they'd try to maybe amend or, at least, mellow some of their stances/rhetoric, but it seems that they're not. Hence, my thread.
Shhhhh! Don't let them know that!

I think Spanish should be recognized as an official language in the USA.
