It seems that liberals will take each and every opportunity to spout anti-Republican rhetoric...


Example:

Do you like popcorn…

Liberal responses…
.....Well, its like... white…so, you know, it’s gotta be a racist snack.

......Popcorn does not care about its less fortunate and disadvantaged “old maids. If a Democrat was in office, they would step up and make sure that each and every kernel reaches it full potential

.....Well, all I know is last week they had some dude on faux news spouting conservative neocon lies about how much better popcorn is than Rasinettes.

I mean, how are we ever going to understand their position on anything, if all they do is bemoan everything about the Bush adminstration?

In my opinion the worst would definitely be George W. Bush. I used to think that Jimmy Carter was the worst, but now I think Bush has surpassed him for that title. For best it would be a tie between John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.

If you do like Bush, why? What has he done for America? And for the people who hate him like me, why would you hate him(It's obviously obvious, but I want to hear some opinions)

Or even offered to return any of the money to their bank’s investors?

An example:

Starting in the late 1920s, and lasting until 1942, after WWII had started and Germany had declared war on the United States, Prescott Bush, as head of the banking firm of Brown Brothers And Harriman, provided 40% of the funding that put Hitler in power and built his war machine. It wasn’t until the ‘Trading With The Enemy Act’ of 1942 was passed and the Bush banking assets were frozen by our government that the funding stopped.

The Bush family wasn’t the only ones guilty. Many other American firms, like Standard Oil and Union Bank, funded Hitler and continued to do so even after Hitler’s crimes against mankind came to light.

I’m just wondering if the Bush family, or any American businessman, ever publicly apologized for helping put a madman into power?

(And I'm not pointing a finger at George H. B. Bush. He was a true American war hero and I respect him for that.)

Yes, my sources are right wing.

But do you really think I'm going to use a liberal truth hiding source?

That's what makes right wing sources so great. The reveal the truth that most liberals love to dodge.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I would like to actually hear from military people that have actually spent time in Iraq to tell the general public what's really going on there. Like most people, I'm tired of the politicians, media and so-called "experts" telling everyone their version of the war. I want to hear it from the Devil Dogs, Rangers and Airborne who are out there every day and can give us an honest answer. Stay safe!

(SSI = Social Security Income). I am worried because I know the amount they pay me is based on how high my rent is. So if suddenly I have no home, and no rent, it seems they might decrease the amount they give me. I'm in New Mexico. Thanks in advance for your reply.

That has to be the last straw.

The man can spend billions upon billions, adding up to trillions in Iraq, but he wants to veto health care for poor kids (including my kids - I'm a teacher...my paycheck doesn't allow enough money to cover their health care).

What will it take for the people of this country to rise up in arms?

Illegal immigrants are taking work away from capable American citizens. There are illegal immigrant children that fill up our public school system as learning grinds to a halt. There are emergency rooms that are over crowded by sick people without insurance causing American citizens to wait for health care. There are uninsured and unlicensed drivers on our roads posing a huge safety risk and significant economic cost in the event of an accident. Social services in this country are abused by illegal aliens.Many many areas of our country, especially southern
California, are occupied by a population that speaks English as a second language or not at all.
