In the bigger picture of the future, Bush was the last of the AMERICAN PATRIATE Presidents. ALL of whom were great. The white house is now infected with something far worse than any virus ever posted on this site. Your ideology is viral, contageous and deadly and wrong... Greatness in Presidencies is not about you it is abot us.

Bush was *NOT* great aside from his work with AIDS in Africa and the successful regime change in Iraq. His plan for Social Security would have been highly beneficial too. He may have been a patriot (<--- proper spelling) but great? The jury's still out on that one

Just about everything else Bush did was a disaster.

Barack Obama has been an unmitigated disaster in every possible category, and doesn't seem to be letting off the streak one bit. I'm everyday simply astounded at what comes out of that idiot's mouth.

This healthcare deal is a NECESSARY debate, but the change that's being force fed to the American people is not the change the people wanted. If the Democrats were so worried about healthcare insurance costs they'd have removed the limitations the government has imposed on insurance competition across state lines. The government is specifically responsible for the high costs of healthcare and insurance. There is no way in hell that a government bureaucrat is going to do a better job of deciding what's best for your health than your personal doctor.

This healthcare deal is about control, plain and simple. There is a provision in the bill that requires every American to purchase health insurance under penalty of felony imprisonment if they don't pay the federally imposed fine! I'm at a complete loss as to where in any Constitution there is a provision where the government can force anyone to purchase anything they may or may not want to purchase. There are people that are actually talking about armed resistance when law enforcement comes to arrest them for not purchasing insurance. That's scary as hell! The day I'm told to enforce that law will be the same day my badge will be on the Sheriff's desk. I vowed to uphold the Constitution, not uphold what a fascist president and his Liberal goons tell me to. This bill is the single most unconstitutional piece of garbage since the Patriot act.

This is the base problem with Liberalism's "Big Brother knows best" attitude. They want to guide your life as they see fit, not as you yourself do. Granted this knife cuts both way, the hardline Republicans are just as bad, but they're not the ones making the laws, are they?

Maybe if they had a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Something like a common sense party that would be for small government, extreme civil rights, fiscal responsibility, and not trying to force everyone else to live their lives the way they dictate. I just say leave people alone, but that's not what either party is about anymore.

The Democrats are pretty much big government Socialists/Communists and the Republicans either should sit with the big government Democrats or they're religious fanatics that want to force everyone to live by the screwed up doctrines their respective religion dictates.

I say that the people should be able to do whatever they damn well please as long as it doesn't infringe on anyone else's ability to do whatever they want. My views fall very much as a strong Libertarian, but that party is too stupid to hide their wackjobs like the Democrats were doing up until last year when they took power and subsequently abused it and showed their true colors and the Republicans do regularly. 

I'm pro rights, pro women's rights, (Yes I'm pro choice) pro gay rights, but I believe that instead of pushing the gay agenda trying to get the church to accept gay marriage, which is exactly what gay marriage is about, they should have the government only view civil unions be they man-man, man-woman, woman-woman and since marriage is a religious institution, only the church can sanctify it. I'm pro gun (Obviously, it's in the Constitution).

Did I cover it all?

I'm not a millionaire and I'm not bribable to go against what I stand for, nor am I a politically connected harumphing Fudd or an avowed Socialist. I stand for common sense so I'm pretty much exactly what both the Republicans *AND* the Democrats are against: a Free Thinker.
