Quote:We do get the leadership we deserve, for sure. We sell out. Allow them to sell out. Allow ourselves to be blatenly lied to even when American lives are being thrown around. We refuse to hold these fools accountable. We openly refuse to be informed. We allow ourselves to walk around with the "Merica is the Greatest" cliche tatted to our chest, yet not do anything to earn it. We act like every achievement deserves an ongoing Medal of Honor, and insist upon forgetting or ignoring anyone who paved the way or helped us get there. I believe we are content to whine and complain about things while doing nothing to make a difference.


I don't buy the dramatic "we're screwed" notion, although ill have to put some additional thought into the basis for this.

 

I agree America Deserves Obama and Bush, when you elect candidates based upon their likeability this is what you get. It's exactally why I prefer an earned voters license, make people put some skin in the game. We can do better than a pulse, no felonies and be born here to pick the most powerful leader in the world.  

 

Hell we require more for people to drive a car then pick our president.

 

Quote:How did you like the negotiating on the border crisis? That was sweet.


Basically, Boener told POTUS, "well, you should use executive action, as we have failed." They couldn't even agree on ANYTHING, while at the same time bemoaning Obama when he does use EOs.


Not a lazy argument, just one based upon the current circumstances.

 

there was no negotiation, Obama and the Establishment GOP wanted some form of amnesty the hard-line conservatives have said absolutely not. That's how negotiations go sometimes, sometimes there is no compromise to be made and nothing gets done. 

 

I don't fault either side for sticking to their stance it's a pretty clear choice either your for borders enforced or your not, what compromise did you want? Well lets make this group legal and we will stop the next group, cause that worked so well when Reagan did it right?
