Gee, you just noticed?

Steev, Say it again, and again, and again!!!! I cannot, and it appears that you cannot, fathom what has happened to this country. Well, I can't either. On the one side of the coin you have the extreme right wing fanatics who wish turn the clock backwards to the Dark Ages when "witches were burned at the stakes." And Galeleo was kept under house arrest for the remainer of his life because he dared tell the Pope that the Earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around. This warped thinking still exists and will go on until the extreme right wakes up and realizes that things are different since the Inquisition of the 14th, 15th and 16th Centuries. To me, it is a VERY frightening world we live in today. Give me back my childhood in the early fourties and I will be happy again. Good job!!! Michael Joel Held

When bush 1st got in ofc. I was like oh, hell no. I knew all of this was going to happen. Just keep voting democrat. But the upside to bush being in ofc. Is we now know anyone  can get in ofc. Can u imafine palin or mccain? Oh not me. We lucked out on that one! Bush/cheney had there own secret society. Watch michael moores videos. & READ THE BUSH DYNASTY BY KITTY KELLY.  

Steev, you are exactly right.  People seem to be unaware of the massive disparity in this country regarding income and wealth.  This will eventually bring serious discord when this sinks in.  All the massive spending during the Reagan, Bush Sr., and W was largely on a giant credit card, and left our country in a horrible mess.  Obama has to spend to keep the country from slipping into another great depression.

Dear Steve, in the email that I sent when I saw your answer the first time, I wish to thank you for your persistence in support of your arguments. It is interesting, to me, that i just asked a question of Mikebuilder. The question was simple and straightforward. "Would the Republicans say to their government, "I don't need my Social Security, Medicare, or Medicade?" Of course they would not. It is apparent to me that Republicans speak with a "forked tongue." On one hand they decry how Socialistic (Communistic) the Universal Health Coverage Bill is, but they never seem to address how Social Security, Medicare and Medicade came about. Seems strange to me how the Republicans, little and middle peoples wish not to have something that would be a boon to them. I just don't understand how a Republican's mind works? Well, I am glad that I was brought up in a Democratic household who understood how difficult a life it was without some help from the Government. By the way, if these Republicabs would check what Socialism v. Communism is, they would find that Socialism is preferable to Communism. Anyway, Communism failed and collapsed on its own volition. Europe, with its Socialistic societies, are doing all the better than we appear to be doing. Thanks for your comments. I always find them to be extremely erudite. Michael Joel Held
