oh my, Ryan's junk passed the House, what a surprise.Failures? They all passed in the House! That's hardly a failure. He has no control over a do-nothing, care-for-nothing-but-reelection Senate with a bare Democratic majority that won't even consider passing a budget that will work, while their moron leader in the White House has only presented one official document that could legitimately be called a budget in three and a half years and he couldn't even get the Democrats to vote for it!
I have asked you if you are going to standby this remark.Bush was probably the most humble president in recent history. He rarely used first person singular in speeches, unlike both Clinton and Obama. Admit it. Like all libs, you started hating Bush when he said he admired Jesus Christ.
I retract the statement due to its personal nature and I don't know you personally. The fact remains that the sentiment of liberals changed from opposition to political ideology to visceral hatred immediately after he answered the question and stated his favorite philosopher was Jesus Christ. It became such a vile hatred that Jonathan Chait wrote an article defending the hate. Every time President Bush mentioned his personal faith the left went crazy with hatred. The left repeated deliberately lied about what he said and even made an enormous headline that read BUSH KNEW after the 9/11 attacks.I have asked you if you are going to standby this remark.
It is not the truth, it is inflammatory and insulting. What are you going to do?
p.s... the conservatives believe in "self", no credit given to God or to the working-class who made entrepreneurship possible in America.
I live in what you would call a "socialist" country. Just want to clue you in a bit on what that actually means.
While the US has spent 4.7% of its GDP to protect nations like Sweden from being overrun by other nations like the former Soviet Union, Sweden contributes only 1.2% of its GDP for its own defense. Like many European nations, they hide behind a curtain of American military power and spend their tax money on social engineering.
And the Swedes and any other country should not pay a dime into defense if the US military is there protecting them, I wouldn't. That's the world domination policy of the US, no fault to the Swedes.
Late to the thread, but I assume it has been pointed out repeatedly that Obama didn't actually say that? That the campaign add in question had been edited?
Nice. Only problem is, all that wonderful stuff comes with an income tax rate of 57.77% -- more than twice the US middle income tax bracket rate.I live in what you would call a "socialist" country. Just want to clue you in a bit on what that actually means.
For our family it means or has meant the following:
1. My wife was at home for 18 months on maternal leave when each of our two children were born. She received 80% of her salary and her job was secure.
2. Our children had access to some of the best child care in the world at a 5th of the actual cost.
3. Our entire family has free access to quality health care.
4. Our son is pursuing a five years Masters Degree in Civil Engineering at no cost...ZERO. He is actually given about $400 a month to help with living expenses while he is studying...from the government.
5. If you are sick or umemployed you are entitled to benefits you can survive on. Those these benefits have been cut back some in recent years.
6. By law, everyone gets 5 weeks of paid vacation. I have 6 and a half weeks now as I am over 50 years old.
7. Generally speaking...everything is of quality...infrastructure, housing, mass transportation system, everything.
Right. Because exacting a tribute is the only possible way to dominate a country *rolls eyes* Before you answer take to seconds to research American free trade acts and the way it uses "most favoured trading partner" statuses to get what it wants. You may also like to look into things like trade embargoes, and such. As for your incredulous questioning "In what way are we "dominating" Sweden, or anyone else?", well, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Japan are all heavily occupied by American forces, and there are about 110 countries world wide with American troops garrisoned in them. Thats pretty dominating.In what way are we "dominating" Sweden, or anyone else? We collect tribute, in excess of our expenditures in their Country? We don't even have a call on Iraqi oil!
I wish I could say I'm shocked.Umm...seems that folks didn't bother to read the WHOLE speech, just the soundbites...and then got their shorts in a knot...

Nothing is free. You have all those benefits because people who make more than you have paid for it, at the expense of their own ability to live at the level they wish to live.
Perhaps Swedes believe that is equitable. Most in the US don't, though it is getting to be a lesser majority every year, thanks to the lies the socialist/Marxist Occupy Movement and the hidden remnants of the likes of ACORN have told and managed to insinuate into the collective psyche of US citizens.
Enjoy your socialism. We want no part of it. Oh, there are some on here who will say they think it's great. It isn't their money that will be taken to pay for it, however.

And it's all because instead of worshiping God, you worship mammon. If higher taxes means that ALL have basic shelter, food and care, then good, I'll happily give. Heck, I don't live on all my income anyway.
Those "Christians" who go ballistic at paying higher taxes are showing who or what they truly worship...
