Floyd, I may be getting off the beaten path, but I think everyone should give some thought to this musing: How much freedom are you willing to sacrifice permanently in order to be "safe"? Every human with a brain knows that illness, disease, accidents WILL occur, no matter what freedoms we have or don't have. Every human with a brain knows that eventually he will DIE, and he doesn't know HOW he will die, what misery he must go through getting to that death. Every human with a brain knows the future is not predictable. So.........in what ways do LAWS help us in reality without any fantasy thinking to go along with it? What if we had not laws except "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? For all other instances, the "victim" gets his revenge, and the "perpetrator" gets his punishment with no one involved except those two.

Everybody seems to think laws are wholesome and good and necessary, and they think that for ONE reason: they've been taught that since birth. They don't KNOW any other way of existing. But they think they KNOW it would be total chaos. In the beginning, it may be. Or it may not be. But don't you think it would eventually dawn on people that if you beat up some child, that child's parent may not like it and will come for you, and there is no law to prevent him from doing so? Are police more scarey than a severely angry parent?

Know what I really think? I really think many laws are devised solely to keep offenders safe.......not to protect the innocent. I believe it is time for Americans to do some heavy duty thinking and come to some logical conclusions and go from there. I would say the same to legislators, but I KNOW they would pay no attention.

This reply is to those who accuse another of being a racist and to those accused.

MY best friend considers herself a conservative and I consider myself a liberal. When Obama speaks, she turns off the TV or watches something she has recorded, because Obama is not welcome in her house. I did the same with little George. I worked with her, and I know she is not a racist.

There are just some people you absolutely cannot stand, and race has nothing to do with it. Think about it. Have you met someone you feel that way about.

I know there are a lot of racists out there and on this site, but that may not be the reason for their dislike of Obama.

Im with you, we NEED and should demand term limits.. That would be a good start. I say we reduce there pay also, to about what a 2nd lieutenant would make in the army. Also when they go to Washington, they all work,live, sleep, and eat in a military base like setting. No outside influence allowed on the base... No lobbyist, unions, corporations, special interests groups of any kind allowed period. We need citizen politicians, not career politicians. ALL bills are to be clean bills. Also NO government regulatory agency can pass ANY regulation without congress taking it up and approving it...No more of this "if its not blocked by congress in 30 days it becomes law", changing it to "if its not brought up and passed in 30 days it does NOT become law" Also a flat tax, that way the politicians can not use the tax code to hand out favors...
Just some ideas....

I have read and attempted to understand your comments. I sense that you are extremely angry and you have attached that anger to Obama. Obama is probably no better or worse than previous president, so why do you pick him out for the focus of your strong emotions? There is only one obvious possibility.

We are all driven by unconscious mental programs that result in biases. In most of our culture, being a racist is considered a bad thing and to be avoided. We all have unconscious biases that influence our behavior. Since I am unable to identify reality based reasons for you intense, diffuse, hatred for Obama, I have to assume it is the obvious and that you are not consciously aware of it. I am not suggesting you are a bad person or a dumb person, I am only suggesting that you are human.

You strongly object to Obama’s appointments, ideology, and his actions.

Response: What appointments, what ideology and what actions? And reasons for objecting to them?
He has fundamentally and devastatingly changed our government and our social mores.

Response: The is an extremely sweeping statement and it contains absolutely no specifics or examples. I have no idea what this means.

Obama is responsible for the following problems:
Increased use of food stamps
High level of unemployment
Law breakers are being rewarded
Releasing felons
Ravaging taxpayers?
Compromising American’s personal security
Investments going bankrupt
Taxpayer support for green energy development

Response: Are you saying that all of these things are really happening? Are you saying Obama is responsible for all of them? Again, you provide insufficient examples of specificity for anyone to know what you are talking about sufficiently to agree or disagree with you.

if this country is to survive as a country who can help...the democratic party must be dissolved and those who embellish telling others how and what to think must be taught a lesson they will never ever forget. itz not nice to tell me what to do if i'm not breaking the law. democrats continue to constantly make laws (many contain no morality) to maintain their un-american presence and control of people's basic human-nature...and for that, they are no better than our mid-eastern advisaries overseas.
