Goverment flies our flag, is responsible for the freedom, security and welfare of all Americans, and is answerable, through elections and the redress of grievances, to its citizens. It is whatever the people make it. Corporations have no national loyalty, are authoritarian by design, are only interested in making money, and are answerable only to their executives. Absent a third alternative, those who revile and reject government (the state) are accepting domination by any bunch of Chinese capitalists, Russian oligarchs and Saudi princegs who, establishing a corporation in the Cayman Islands, instantly become the free market heroes of the the idiot American rightwing.

This is classic redirection - point to something else instead of the issues at hand. Liberals have a hard time dealing with issues, and the facts that go along with it.

It makes me wonder that they cannot see the difference between the real far left and the moderate move back to the middle that appears to be proposed by the Obama regime The reason the Soviet Union collapsed is that the Communist Ideologues refused to see the reality around them. They saw the corruption and greet of the Capitalists without being prepared to recognise the real success that existed within that system. They kept telling themselves and each other that their system actually worked well when it was failing all around them. Now we have the failure of American capitalism, and a similar mindset that after the financial disaster that unrestrained free market policies under George Bush has bought. The sad facts are these. People are people. There are good people who did good things in the communist system and good people who did good things in the capitalist system but there were also bad, greedy, controlling and just plain nuts people who did harm in both systems. Scare stories about how the USA is now on the road to Socialist hell are as hollow as the old Communists scare stories about how their workers paradise would be ruined by allowing a little free enterprise. Enough slogans, both extremes have failed and failed big (check out IOUSA the movie) It is time for the sensible middle ground.

I also feel he is a descent man and did not deserve the pure hatred displayed in this country by the "Media" , Hollywood and liberals in general.

You are repeating yourself. By cutting corporate taxes (I am including small business here) will free monies to reinvest in new jobs. This is simple business 101 here. By raising the tax on small business, unemployment will grow. Your concern is the evil corporate mongers - terrorists are our enemies, not business. Business creates jobs! Of course there are folks that are corrupt, but that's the exception. If you want shenanigans - look at the Stimulus Bill! This is corruption in action, right before our very eyes. What about the shenanigans of the democrats in congress? The important ting is to cut taxes for everybody - which was what George Bush accomplished. Remember that 40% of Americans do not pay taxes. The top 5% already pay a majority of the taxes in this country. Again, you are not addressing this - spending your way out of the recession has never worked. Obama is leading us down a path of failure. As for trade - tariffs will start an economic war with our trading partners. This was done in the 30's, and it deepened the Great Depression. The free markets and capitalism have created the greatest economy in world history. Again, socialism and communism are failed philosophies. Let them rot! Hey Troy!

“Afterall, the Democrats waited and planned for eight years after the “Stolen Presidency” which unleashed and forstered eight years of BUSH DISASTER that led us into this RECESSION.”

Sounds like you and your fellow Democrats have been the “worst losers” that I have ever seen. I bet you moaned and complained the whole eight years too!

You may be interested in the top five of a new Harris poll on the choices for America’s heroes. Now your guy is #1, but it is the rest of the list that gets interesting: Jesus (my guy), Martin Luther King (who was a Republican), Ronald Reagan (need I say more?), and # 5 – George W. Bush!

Doesn’t sound like a disastrous eight years to me. Oh, and by the way – things didn’t get bad until the democrats took over in 2006.

But how does the right think we should do that? By cutting corporate taxes and hope for the best? By turning a blind eye to regulation and make the every man pay for the shenanigans? By continuing a war that we were told would take weeks and would pay for itself a trillion dollars later? By cutting the rich taxes which we were told would also pay for itself but left us far short on domestic priorities? None of that has panned out. It's all lead to where we are today. Do we keep doing the same things that got us here in the first place? Fair trade means looking out for America, it has nothing to do with the few. In other parts of the world they slap tariffs on our cars and the nations are involved with making it a success. They will not allow it not to be profitable to their country. We don't do that in the name of phony crony capitalism and free trade. Well there we agree, stimulate the economy. But how does the right think we should do that?
