So you said about Barack 'It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases. WHAT!!??? The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived. Well, there you go. The man is a fraud and left a trail of evidence a mile wide. After eliminating HUD, the Depts. of Commerce and Education, the FBI needs to be abolished, too, I think.' (Were you just going through a bad phase in your mental health?)

Obama didn't raise taxes but did raise spending. Not sure about that ..he has halved the deficit, and a lot of the spending was to save us from the Bush depression ...and if there have been increases, they pale in comparison to the off budget wars the Bush administration got us in...on credit that Obama inherited...and they were in areas of helping, not killing people, Jesus, remember He really has done an amazing job considering the hand he was dealt, especially including the racist joker from the GOP

<< Actually I'm serious. I think the country will continue to undergo a series of transformative changes that neither party has the power to prevent. Thus I am more apolitical than at any time in my life.>> "A society is judged by how it treats those in the spring of life, winter of life and those who live in the shadows of life": HH. It seems you are forgetting your history. Before democracy people lived in constant fear and life was miserable. We have grown use to our freedom and taking it for granted and are losing it out of apathy. And it is the plutocrats taking it away from us trying to turn us into their peasants and serfs. Modern social science knows how to design wonderful happy societies where the children laugh, the old live without fear and in dignity and people are well, financially secure and happy. We liberals know how to do that. We just seldom get a chance.

Actually I'm serious. I think the country will continue to undergo a series of transformative changes that neither party has the power to prevent. Thus I am more apolitical than at any time in my life. I agree with you Kate. I think our "dream time" of becoming the richest, most powerful nation on Earth following the end of WWII is coming to an end. The time when our 5% of the world's population consumed 25% of the world's resources is over. We've seeded the world with our TV and movies, translated into every tongue, and sold the world on competitive dog-eat-dog capitalism. Mud hutters everywhere watch our TV, rise up and say, "I want me some of THAT!" They're a lot more motivated than we are, will put up with crap we'd never accept to get it. Their chasing a lie they can never have. The math doesn't work, for us or for them. For us, it means our 5% of the world will eventually consume 5% of the world's output, a massive comedown. For them, it means they will do better, but not as well as we had it in the 20th century. Barring WWIII or some massive, population reducing disease or famine, that's the future. Neither political party can even acknowledge it.
