Carter and Obama are one and the same

Can't wait to kick out Obama like the way we did with Carter.

I pray that's how it goes. We, as a nation, will not survive the socialist transformation. The USRA(United Socialist Republics of America) is only a few months away.

What exactly does Obama plan to do that hasn't already been enacted by the rest of the free world? Universal health care exists to our north, where our friendly neighbors pay a smaller percentage of its GDP to cover more people, has a lower fatality rate, is less bureaucratic and is rated higher by the World Health Organization than our own privatized health care.

Everything else; the taxes, regulations and whatnot, already exist practically everywhere in Europe, and in Canada. Guess what? I lived in Canada for five years, and we don't sing praises to our Glorious Leader or get massacred in town square daily. So quit the fearmongering about the possibility that America may actually join the 20th century.

(interestingly enough, these "socialistic" nations were remarkably faster than us to abolish slavery and more accepting of civil rights)

Free being the operant word here. It's not a system that takes a liking to free thought or dissention. Under this, you are not "free" to choose not to want health insurance. If you don't have it, you are forced to buy it from the government or pay a ridiculously high fine and go to jail. By the way, it costs 20% of your total income. What's free about that?

So what? Just because the rest of the world has it doesn't mean anything to me. great britian also has a queen, do we need one of those too?

Good for you. We know canada isn't that bad...yet. So why do the canadian authorities profile American vehicles based upon their license plates? My uncle was pulled over and his vehicle searched for a supposed firearm just because he had a Kentucky license plate. Does this mean American law enforcement should do the same since another country does it? It'd really help with our "butthurt" from those disobedient border runners from mexico.

Did you mean the 21st century? Anywho, so just because we know a law is destructive and don't want it we're a bunch of knuckle-dragging neanderthals? OK, I'd rather be a free knuckle-dragging neanderthal than an enslaved civilized person.

You mean like the national socialist Germans or the union of soviet socialist republics that loved their Jewish citizens so much?
