That's not a breakdown. That's a list of generalities that he doesn't agree with.

Boortz is losing his common sense. He had it at one time, but seems to have gone over the edge of reason lately.

You believe in socialism? A great first 100 days.

You believe in capitalism? A horrible first 100 days.

Psh, give me a break. Obama has done next to nothing to please socialists. We're kind of pissed at him, actually.

You believe in individualism? A bad first 100 days.

You believe in collectivism? A grand first 100 days.


What the hell does this even mean? I don't think he's really passed legislation one way or another in this regard.

You're proud of your country? A depressing first 100 days.

You think your country is the focus of evil? A wonderful first 100 days.


I'm not proud of us at all, but that doesn't make me think that things are somehow 'wonderful' now. We're still murdering people, passing middle class tax dollars to large corporations, and enslaving people in the third world so we can buy cheap shiat at Wal*Mart. Nothing has changed.

You believe in federalism? The first 100 days were a disaster.

You believe in an omnipotent federal government? The first 100 days were wonderful.


Yes, because giving a shiatton of stimulus money to local governments to perform their own projects is sooooo omnipotent.


You think a president should be elected on substance? Bad first 100.

You think a president should be elected on style? Great first 100.


For some reason I don't think the response to the economy being "I know Jack Kemp" is a substantive argument. We can all agree that Obama was by far the more intelligent candidate out of the two main factions of the Corporate Party, but that didn't mean either of them were truly getting elected on substance. They were getting elected first and foremost because of the correct letter by their name.

Nonsense that doesn't deserve to be adressed

See above


You're proud of your country? A depressing first 100 days.

You think your country is the focus of evil? A wonderful first 100 days.


Bull. I'm proud when my country does what is right (ie follows the rule of law and promotes freedom/equal rights for ALL of its citizens) and also proud when it recognizes and tries to fix its mistakes.

You believe in federalism? The first 100 days were a disaster.

You believe in an omnipotent federal government? The first 100 days were wonderful.

Ugh. Fine, I'll entertain your ridiculous assertion:

Obama: Revamp healthcare, increase regulation in the financial sector, tax cuts for the vast majority of the population (which includes me and most of you), was right about Iraq off the bat, repeatedly stated that nothing would come easy and that the problems he intended to tackle would take time, not afraid to attack anyone who harbors OBL including Pakistan

McCain (may as well be Palin, as she is the one that people were voting for, but that would be too easy): "We will defeat evil", "I know how to get us out of this mess", clueless on economic issues, flip-flopped hard on tax issues AND immigration, even his own party didn't want him in there

I hate that socialism has become a conservative hot button sound byte, because the reality is, America is skewing towards socialism and its dangerous for ALL of us.

Unfortunately, with the conservative media harping on it, the liberals are just turning more and more of a deaf ear to it...

Obama wanted to begin a new era of dependence on government, and that he has done.

...And I stopped reading right there. Is this guy even trying to be objective, or is he going on the Reaganite assumption that the gub'ment can do no right, and whatever the gub'ment does that isn't cutting taxes or killing people is socialistic, communistic, and fascist, all at once.

That the Founding Fathers didn't intend for America to become a place with an over-reaching federal government, and they sure as hell didn't want us to get over-taxed.

You want socialism? Move to Sweden.

From m-w.com:

Liberty - 1: the quality or state of being free: a: the power to do as one pleases b: freedom from physical restraint c: freedom from arbitrary or despotic control d: the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges e: the power of choice

We can CHOOSE what we want. Asshole.

What makes you say that? Do you even know that the federalists and anti-federalists were jockeying for power between the states and the national government the exact same way we are today? Your idea that all of the founding fathers were rugged individualiststm who hated the idea of a strong federal government is laughably absurd. The founding fathers loved taxes too. What do you think the tea party was even about? Not about high taxation - it was about the fact that the local governments couldn't impose their own taxes above and beyond what King George and Parliament already levied.

Christ I can't stand this stupidity.

Do people not understand that a functional Socialist government taxes more, but returns that in the form of services? I.e. They are not "over-taxing," as the money is returned to you in other ways. Perhaps you may worry about "getting your share," but when everyone has good roads, good infrastructure, healthcare, and the ability to retire happily, I think the worries will subside.

He hasn't been reading anything. He's been listening to the truth warriors like Limbaugh, Hannity, Boortz and Mike Savage/Weiner. Reading takes time. Much easier to let someone else do all the heavy lifting for him and just plug in for his daily marching orders.

The colonists were pissed because they wanted to be able to levy their own taxes and import duties, which King George and Parliament would not let them do, claiming that they were the only body allowed to make laws regarding taxation in British lands.

I see alot of blah blah blah and not the actual addressing of "Hey, you know what, you're right. Our founding fathers built this country on the principal of Liberty and that means we can choose what we want from our government."

No, instead I see alot of "if" and "You can thank Obama for raising your taxes"

Ok. Thanks President Obama. Really don't smoke cigars often enough to be affected by it... but this jerk says I should thank you anyways. So, thanks chief.

Pull your head out of your ass and stop for a moment to think "You know what, I made an ass of myself. I should really cut my losses now before this gets alot worse."
